Chapter 446 Moving Back Home
He didn't like women who cried a lot, but at the moment, he couldn't be fierce to her.
The person in front of me seemed to have suffered a great injustice.
When I hugged her on the cruise ship, I was surprised to find that the girl had lost a lot of weight.
At this moment, I noticed that her jawline was exposed.
He has lost a lot of weight and lacks the vitality he once had, and his eyes are full of haggardness.
Zhao Yuanyuan held his hand: "Professor Ye, help me."
He lowered his head. The girl's hands were extremely rough, with cracked fingertips, and it felt prickly when they scratched her skin.
These are the marks left by the dry winter and rough labor.
"I really have no choice..." Her voice was trembling.
"Yuanyuan, go ahead." His voice was gentle and firm.
"I can't find the dean... I can't find her and the children. I was raised by the dean's mother since I was a child. She is the best person in the world to me. I don't know where Xiang Shaoan took them. We clearly agreed before that if I leave you, she will let the dean go..."
Every word was like a needle piercing his chest.
"You mean, you made a deal with Xiang Shaoan?"
Zhao Yuanyuan lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake, and her voice was hoarse.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."
She patted her head and hunched her body like an ostrich.
"Professor Ye, I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have used you as a bargaining chip, but Xiang Shaoan threatened me that if I didn't leave, she would put the children in a mental hospital... I'm sorry... I was too selfish..."
Before she finished her words, she was hugged by the man.
A warm and solid sense of security enveloped her whole body.
She is very strong, but somehow she couldn't control herself tonight.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" The man's voice was filled with helplessness and heartache.
Zhao Yuanyuan was silent.
"say."
She said sullenly: "We were originally a fake couple. Rather than letting me ruin your reputation, why not..."
"Why not let me be with Xiang Shaoan? We are a perfect match."
Ye Jinqian got angry for no reason and let her go, his dark eyes revealing ambiguous emotions.
"In your eyes, I can be manipulated by others at will?"
"no……"
"Zhao Yuanyuan, you could have told me this earlier. After all this trouble, the person you care about is missing and you are in such a mess. Are you going to fight the Xiang family's daughter by yourself? Is there anyone more stupid than you in the world?"
The girl pursed her lips, lowered her head, and tears fell down.
"I understand... I am too weak... I can't protect them..."
Ye Jinqian pinched his brows and sighed: "Okay, I'll help you."
Unexpectedly, she cried even harder.
He had never seen anyone who cried so much!
Was my tone a little harsh just now?
He had never coaxed a girl before. Jinmo had never been a crybaby since she was a child, so he didn't have much experience.
"My tone was not good just now, you... stop crying..."
He fumbled and pulled out a tissue, wiping the other person's face randomly.
Seeing that it didn't work, he held the girl in his arms and tried to comfort her.
In the end, his tears stained his shirt and wet his shoulders.
Ye Jinqian is a bit of a germaphobe and his face doesn't look very good at the moment.
Zhao Yuanyuan stopped crying, looked at his shoulder, and scratched her head embarrassedly: "Professor Ye, I will go back and wash this dress for you!"
"Are you hungry?" He agreed with her.
“I’m not hungry…”
As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach started to growl.
Suddenly, his face turned red.
"What do you want to eat?"
Zhao Yuanyuan curled her lips and said, "I can do anything."
Finally, the Range Rover stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant.
She was surprised: "Professor Ye, do you like to eat this?"
Ye Jinqian doesn't look like someone who likes hotpot.
"You don't like it?"
She nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I like it! Eating hot pot in the middle of winter is the best!"
Besides, the average price of this hotpot restaurant is very expensive, so she was reluctant to come here before.
This is a high-end buffet with an average price of 1,888.
Walk into the store and take a seat.
Only then did Zhao Yuanyuan realize that there were basically dedicated waiters serving at each table, and the dining space was very private.
The ingredients are fresh and you can choose them directly.
Hot pot, barbecue, seafood, including various red wine and white wine, etc.
She asked quietly, "Professor Ye, if two people spend 4,000 yuan on a meal, how much do we have to eat to make it back?"
A takeout meal of more than ten yuan is already very expensive for her.
The waiter came over with a tablet and asked them to take their order.
Ye Jinqian gestured to give it to her first.
"It's up to you tonight."
She looked up, met the man's trusting eyes, and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make my money back!"
"Australian abalone, king crab, red devil shrimp..."
She applied for a bunch of items in a row, all of which were the most expensive in her opinion.
The hot pot was served and steam was rising.
As the dishes came up one by one.
Her nerves also relaxed a lot.
Ye Jinqian also ordered dessert.
Zhao Yuanyuan pushed it over: "You take the first bite."
After all, he was the one paying.
Ye Jinqian chuckled, lowered his head, picked up the fork, put a piece of cake into his mouth, and then pushed it in front of her.
He called his assistant.
"Well, go check it out."
His voice was low, heard over the heat and the sound of the hot pot.
Zhao Yuanyuan didn't hear it clearly.
She picked up the new fork and ate the dessert, then pushed it to the middle.
There were several desserts, and she wanted to try them all.
Deep down, I still love food.
Ye Jinqian lowered his eyelids, talking on the phone seriously, and picked up the fork she had just used and put it into his mouth.
When Zhao Yuanyuan looked up, she saw that the one he was holding was the one she had used.
Suddenly, my ears felt hot.
Isn't this... an indirect kiss?
She quickly looked away, and glanced at Ye Jinqian, and found that he was still on the phone.
He must have been careless.
Ye Jinqian hung up the phone and looked up to see her blushing face.
"What's wrong?"
"It's a bit hot." She laughed dryly.
He put down the fork in his hand: "This dessert is not bad."
She nodded quickly: "Yes!"
"I'll ask my assistant to check the whereabouts of the orphanage. There should be news soon. You can move back tomorrow and quit your job at Xiang's."
A tone that brooks no argument.
Zhao Yuanyuan looked at him steadily, with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
"Why, you don't want to?" Ye Jinqian's tone was noticeably colder.
"No, I was thinking, if I do this, will you be in danger?"
After all, the Xiang family is not an ordinary family.
No matter how powerful Ye Jinqian is, he is just a university professor.
The man raised his eyebrows calmly and said in a brisk tone: "Are you worried about me?"
"I'm afraid Xiang Shaoan will target you..."
"She's not that capable yet. You can't even protect yourself, and you're still worrying about others? I've fired the maids in the villa, and you can come back and work for me part-time, with the same salary as before."
These few words were official and cold, but Zhao Yuanyuan knew that they were helping her.
Xiang Shaoan was the first to regret, so for the sake of the dean, she had to curry favor with Ye Jinqian.
He was right. If you keep compromising, no one will protect you.
"Thank you, Professor Ye."
"Thank you so much, eat all the food you ordered, or I'll have to pay double the price."
Zhao Yuanyuan came back to her senses instantly, looked at the table full of dishes, pursed her lips, and nodded solemnly: "I promise to complete the task!"
