Chapter 377: Showing Presence

As Mr. Ye said, the phone is turned off.

Ye Junlin frowned and called his assistant.

"Xu Yihan has been out of contact for several days. Find out where she went."

Gu Mian drank some juice and asked, "Brother, is Yi Huan okay?"

"She is an adult and has the ability to protect herself. Normally, nothing would happen to her."

"Then we have to find the person back as soon as possible."

"I know." Ye Junlin picked up some food for her and said, "Enjoy your meal."

"Um."

......

It was not until the evening that the assistant replied to Ye Junlin.

"Mr. Ye, we can't find Miss Xu's whereabouts."

"How come?"

"It's true. Ms. Xu has not made any online payment records or taken any public transportation since four days ago, so her location cannot be tracked at all."

"That is to say, she has not left any record since she stepped out of the Ye family's gate. Could something have happened to her?" Ye Junlin frowned. "Contact the police and call up the Sky Eye system to check. We must find her for me."

"Yes," the assistant said, "but it may take some time."

"Just investigate it closely."

"clear."

After Gu Mian called to inquire about the progress, he let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yueming came in with a calming soup, "Are you worried about Yihuan?"

"I am happy to be worried, but I am even more worried about my grandpa."

Lu Yueming smiled and said, "You have lost your memory, and you have never met Master Ye."

"That being said, I heard from my brother that Grandpa has been in a bad mood because he is worried about me. He was even sick for a few days." Gu Mian looked uneasy. "Now Yi Huan is in trouble again. It can be said that my brother and I are both making him worry..."

"It will be fine." Lu Yueming comforted, "I believe Yi Huan will be fine."

"Um."

......

It didn't take long for the assistant to get the video captured by the Sky Eye system.

"Why so fast?" Ye Junlin asked casually, "Didn't you say it would take some time?"

"Because there are very few traces of Miss Xu's movements." The assistant took out a tablet and played the video. "Mr. Ye, look, that morning, after Miss Xu left the Ye family, the driver took her to the airport."

"But she did not board the plane and there was no further sign of her at the airport."

"How is that possible?" Ye Junlin questioned, "It's impossible for a person to disappear out of thin air, right?"

"She didn't disappear out of thin air, but I think Miss Xu might have deliberately tried not to let anyone find her."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Ye, please take a look." The assistant called up another video.

In the video, Xu Yihan pulled a black suitcase into the airport restroom, but did not come out for a long time.

"Mr. Ye, I'm sure Miss Xu didn't come out, so I replayed the video and found that this person is most likely Miss Xu. She changed her clothes and was fully armed, without even a suitcase."

Although the woman on the screen was covered tightly, Ye Junlin could still tell from the way she walked that it was Xu Yihan.

"Have you found out where she is?"

"After changing her clothes, Ms. Xu took a taxi back to the city, but she did not return to the Ye family. Instead, she got off the taxi in a suburban area where surveillance cameras could not see her. She was not tracked after that."

"So I think that Miss Xu is not in trouble, but she deliberately doesn't want people to find her."

"I checked with the telecommunications company and found that Ms. Xu's SIM card had not been used again and she did not have any other numbers in her name."

"She deliberately didn't let anyone find her..." Ye Junlin sneered, "She is really quite capable..."

"Boss Ye, what should we do now?" the assistant asked. "Although the surveillance coverage is wide now, it is indeed difficult to find someone who is determined to hide."

"No need to look for her." Ye Junlin's face was cold. "She wants to leave, so of course I have to help her."

"But Miss Xinxin is still so young, she can't live without a mother..."

"Xinxin was originally taken care of by a nanny. She can grow up healthily even without her." Ye Junlin instructed, "Go to the Ye family and explain the whole story to my grandfather. Let him know that it was Xu Yihan who wanted to leave on his own."

The assistant had no choice but to nod, "Yes."

The door was closed and the office became quiet.

Ye Junlin took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few deep puffs, but his chest seemed to be getting more and more blocked.

He irritably put out his cigarette, stood up and walked to the French window.

The weather has been bad these past few days, the sky is gloomy and depressing, and it's hard to breathe.

He thought his depression was caused by the weather.

Definitely.

......

In the evening, Ye Junlin returned to the Ye family.

As soon as I walked to the door of the master bedroom, I heard Xinxin crying.

Ye Junlin opened the door and strode in.

The nanny was holding Xinxin and coaxing her.

"What's going on?" Ye Junlin frowned when he saw his daughter. "I haven't seen her for a few days, why does she look thinner?"

"Master, I'm sorry." The nanny apologized hastily, "Miss Xu was away, and Miss Xinxin didn't eat or sleep well, so she became thin."

"In the past, when she cried, Miss Xu would hold her and comfort her and she would stop crying. But now, she has to cry until she is tired and her voice is hoarse."

Ye Junlin took Xinxin from the nanny's arms and said, "Xinxin, be good, don't cry, daddy is back."

Xinxin cried for a long time before she fell asleep in Ye Junlin's arms.

The nanny breathed a sigh of relief, "Young Master, let me do it, you go and rest."

"It's okay." Ye Junlin raised his hand to wipe away the tears from Xinxin's eyes, "Go and ask the kitchen to make me something to eat."

"yes."

As soon as the nanny left, Mr. Ye came in and said, "You're back."

"Grandpa."

"The child has been so noisy these past few days. It seems that he still can't leave his mother." Old Master Ye sat down on the sofa and sighed, "What happened between you and Yi Huan? Why did she leave without saying goodbye and deliberately hide her whereabouts so that no one could find her?"

When Xu Yihan was mentioned, Ye Junlin became even more irritated. "Grandpa, nothing happened between her and me. She is just trying to make her presence felt. Don't pay any attention to her. She will come back on her own in a few days."

"How do you know she'll come back on her own?"

Ye Junlin smiled faintly, "She has a love brain. What else is there in her mind except love? Even Xinxin is a tool for her to consolidate her love. I don't think such a person will suddenly change her personality."

"Then tell me, what kind of person is Yi Huan? What did she do to offend you that you would belittle her like that?" Old Master Ye asked sternly, "You look down on her, but men in my Ye family always take responsibility, so I asked you to be responsible for her back then."

"As your fiancée, she gave up her job and stayed in the Ye family to take care of you for so many years. I think even a piece of stone should be warmed up by it, right? But Jun Lin, she is so attentive, but she can't even warm your heart."

"If you had completely ignored her, she might have given up on you a long time ago, but you looked down on her and had sex with her at the same time. What does that mean?"

"You ignored her but gave her hope. Is she just a tool for your sexual gratification?"

Ye Junlin's face became even colder.

Because even he himself could not answer these questions.

He doesn't like Xu Yihan.

He is not really keen on love affairs, but he is a normal man and always has needs.

Every time he returned home, she was always busying around more diligently than a servant, hanging around in front of him, and it was difficult for him not to notice her.

When I see it, I always feel the urge and follow my body's instinct to do it.

Over time, this became a normal thing.

What's more, she is willing to do so.

If she had shown any reluctance, he would never have forced her to do anything.

"Why, you are speechless and can't speak?" Old Master Ye saw through him at a glance, "Jun Lin, you have lived too smoothly since you were a child."

"You have everything you want, a superior family background, outstanding abilities, and even your relationship is smoother than Ting Shen's."

"Ting Shen and Mian Mian have been through so many hardships, they love each other but cannot be together. What about you? You have Yi Huan's wholehearted love."

"Perhaps if something is obtained too easily, it will not be valued, so you think her efforts are so cheap."

"But Grandpa can tell you that the more something is despised, the harder it is to get it."

"There are many women out there who want to marry you, but how many of them are attracted to you, Ye Junlin, instead of the Ye family's money?"

"If you were not the heir of the Ye family, but just an ordinary person, how many women would be willing to marry you?"

"Grandpa values ​​Yihuan because he loves you not the young master of the Ye family, Ye Junlin, but the real you, which is very rare."

"Grandpa, I have never been in poverty." Ye Junlin looked at her, "So why do you think Xu Yihan loves someone other than the young master of the Ye family?"

"Grandpa, if you can't even tell if there's calculation and greed in a person's eyes, then you've lived in vain."

Ye Junlin disagreed, "Then you can't guarantee that you haven't made a mistake."

"It seems that you still don't listen to me." Old Master Ye waved his hands helplessly, "Forget it, I won't say anything more. But there is one thing, Xinxin can't live without her mother, you must find Yihuan back."

"Even if you don't love her and don't want to marry her, you can't treat her badly or delay her."

Ye Junlin said expressionlessly, "I told you she would come back on her own."

Mr. Ye said nothing more and just stood up and left.

......

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and Xu Yihan still didn't come back.

Xinxin cried incessantly every night and the nanny couldn't comfort her. Only Ye Junlin could calm her down by going home personally to comfort her.

Even if he fell asleep, he would wake up two or three times during the night, either to poop or to drink milk, which tortured Ye Junlin physically and mentally.

At around three o'clock in the morning, the nanny rushed over with milk powder and fed it to the crying Xinxin.

I don’t know what’s going on, Xinxin refused to drink, kept resisting the bottle, and cried non-stop.

"What's going on?" Ye Junlin frowned, "Didn't he drink well during the day?"

"Master, Miss Xinxin has always been breastfed, and occasionally drinks formula. Now that she is no longer breastfed, she will definitely not be able to adapt."

"In fact, she only drinks more when she is extremely hungry during the day. If she is not so hungry, she will be like this now."

Ye Junlin just felt a headache, "Then tell me, what should I do now?"

"Master, since Yi Huan is not here, there is really no other way..."

Ye Junlin suddenly felt even more irritated.

"Are we going to let her cry like this all night long?"

"Master, let me take care of her." The nanny quickly took Xinxin over, "You go and have a rest."

"You were the one who coaxed her last night. She couldn't stop crying."

The nanny also looked helpless.

"Xinxin relied on Miss Xu. It seems that she had a hard time adapting to Miss Xu's sudden absence."

"Don't tell me this now!" Ye Junlin said coldly, "What I want is a solution, not your analysis of the current difficulties!"

The nanny was trembling with fear, "I'm sorry, Master..."

Ye Junlin closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. "Forget it, you can go out now."

"Master, taking care of Miss Xinxin is my job. I have to stay."

Ye Junlin didn't say anything else. He put the bottle aside, picked up Xinxin and coaxed her.

After a long while, Xinxin finally fell asleep.

Ye Junlin waited for another ten minutes before putting Xinxin back into the crib.

"Finally he fell asleep." The nanny breathed a sigh of relief. "If you keep making so much noise, you won't be able to sleep tonight. Master, you should take the time to rest."

Ye Junlin looked at Xinxin who was sleeping soundly in the crib and asked, "Did Xinxin wake up so many times every night before?"

"Yes, it is normal for babies to wake up at night at this stage. Just figure out what she needs, whether she is hungry or has defecated, and solve the problem."

Ye Junlin asked again, "When she woke up, was it Xu Yihan who took care of everything?"

"Yes, Miss Xinxin is breastfed. Even if she sleeps with me, she will be brought to me for feeding when she is hungry. Unless you live at home, we would not disturb you."

Ye Junlin suddenly recalled that when he occasionally stayed at home, no one came to disturb him in the middle of the night.

It turns out that Xinxin has always been waking up at night.

Even if it wasn't as noisy as it is now, Xu Yihan would still wake up once or twice in the middle of the night, so it would be impossible for him to sleep well.

He always thought that with a nanny around, Xu Yihan would have an easy life.

But these few days, he took care of Xinxin personally and found it too difficult.

Ye Junlin was already very sleepy, but after all this commotion, his sleepiness passed and he lost all sleepiness immediately.

He returned to the study, stood in front of the French window, lit a cigarette, and looked out at the inky night. A face that shouldn't have appeared appeared in his mind.

In fact, Xu Yihan had never told him about the hardships of raising a child. Every time he came back, she would share with him all the lovely and beautiful things.

For example, Xinxin smiles, makes babbling sounds, and turns over.

When he returned home and saw his daughter smiling at him, he would naturally be happy.

He didn't know that behind his daughter's well-behaved and lovely appearance, the person who took care of her worked so hard.

Ye Junlin took his last puff of cigarette, took out his cell phone and opened WeChat.

I scrolled down for a long time before I came across Xu Yihan’s WeChat.

Her WeChat profile picture is a photo of Xinxin with a full moon, which is cute and adorable.

The last chat record between them was half a month ago, when Xu Yihan sent her a heart-warming video.

Scrolling up, he saw that most of the messages were from Xu Yihan, but he seldom replied.

In their relationship, she was like a one-man show...
