Ye Xinning sat there until dawn. At dawn, Zhou Yun came over and asked her if she wanted to eat something.
Ye Xinning thought of Ji Jianshen, "What do you gentlemen usually eat?"
"The gentleman likes to eat Chinese food."
Ye Xinning nodded, "Then let's get ready and have lunch."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "I'll go upstairs and see if your husband is awake yet."
Ye Xinning spoke with a smile on her face, and Zhou Yun had someone lead her upstairs.
The maid led her upstairs.
Ye Xinning was surprised; everything here was so mature, which meant they had been here for quite some time.
But she didn't know all along, all because she had been too busy lately and had overlooked such an important matter.
The maid led her to Ji Jianshen's door. The maid knocked on the door, and Ye Xinning's familiar male voice came from inside, "Come in."
She nodded to the maid, indicating that the maid could leave now.
After the maid left, Ye Xinning pushed open the door and went inside. The person inside was standing in front of the French windows, with his back to her, and his back exuded a chill.
"What's up?"
The man spoke, and Ye Xinning stepped forward, took a few steps, and spoke in a soft tone, "Why didn't you tell me you came to Nancheng?"
Ji Jianshen froze, remaining silent for a long time. When he turned around again, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Why did you come over?" Ji Jianshen walked step by step to her side.
Seeing his pale face, Ye Xinning was about to attack him, but then she stopped, remembering their identities.
She married Shen Lin, and no matter how good her relationship with Ji Jianshen was, she should still avoid suspicion.
"Zhou Yun was someone you arranged to follow me, right?" she asked, though she already knew the answer in her heart.
If it weren't for Ji Jianshen's arrangement, Zhou Yun wouldn't have followed her.
“I’m worried because we haven’t found the mastermind behind what happened to you recently. Zhou Yun is a steady and reliable person, so I feel more at ease having him work with you.”
Ye Xinning smiled gently, "I thought you didn't want to admit it?"
"What can you do if you know everything but don't admit it?"
Ye Xinning smiled gently and said nothing more, but asked about his injuries again.
Ji Jianshen simply said it was nothing.
Ye Xinning sighed and said softly, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"I came here to take care of some things. I thought you were busy, so I didn't tell you in advance."
Ye Xinning frowned and said slowly, "Who said I don't have time to take care of my own life when I'm busy? You can come here without others notifying you, but you can't come here without telling me."
Ji Jianshen still had a faint smile in his eyes, "Don't think too much about it. Next time, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Ye Xinning was somewhat incredulous. Back in Switzerland, her relationship with Ji Jianshen went beyond just helping her during the car accident; Ji Jianshen had given her a light that no one else could provide when she was in danger.
If Shen Lin was the light she encountered five years ago in Nancheng, then Ji Jianshen helped her with everything after she went to Switzerland, which made her feel a strong sense of gratitude towards Ji Jianshen.
To some extent, she and Ji Jianshen were more like family, the kind of family who sincerely wished each other well.
"I'll let it go this time, but you must tell me next time, Ji Jianshen. I told you before that we are family. You gave me the help I needed most when I was going through the most difficult time. In my heart, you are as important as family."
Ji Jian smiled and nodded, promising her, "I know."
"Also, you drove to save me without thinking, which was too impulsive. If anything had happened to you, I would live with guilt for the rest of my life."
Ye Xinning still feels lingering fear whenever she thinks about what happened that day.
If she had known that the person who saved her that day was Ji Jianshen, how could she have waited until now to meet him?
"Yes, I'm in a hurry right now, but I'll think about it more later."
Ji Jianshen gazed into her eyes, his gentle tone revealing no underlying problem.
But Ji Jianshen himself knew very well that no matter how many times he experienced that day again, he would still rush forward without hesitation, regardless of anything else.
It's just instinct.
Ye Xinning and Ji Jianshen hadn't seen each other for a long time, and now that they finally met, they inevitably talked a lot.
The two chatted until the maid came up to call them for breakfast before they went downstairs.
During this time, Ji Jianshen coughed from time to time, and Ye Xinning was still very worried even after sitting down in the restaurant.
"Your health seems worse than before. Have you been to the hospital?"
Ji Jianshen shook his head and said reassuringly, "It's nothing, you just haven't been resting well lately, you'll recover soon."
Ye Xinning was still a little worried. "I have a younger sister named Shen Nanxing. Do you want me to have her come and take a look at you?"
"No need, I brought my family doctor with me. He said there's nothing wrong, just need to rest more."
Hearing him say that, Ye Xinning didn't know what else to say.
He brought his family doctor along, since the family doctor is naturally more familiar with his situation.
The two ate breakfast together and chatted. Ye Xinning asked Ji Jianshen about his other plans.
"Are you planning to stay in the southern part of the city for the Spring Festival?"
"No, I'll be going back in the next few days."
"So eager?" Ye Xinning was a little disappointed. She had originally thought she could spend the New Year with Ji Jianshen, or at least have a meal together.
"There are still things to do in Beicheng, we can't delay for too long."
"When are you leaving? I'll see you off."
"Okay, I'll let you know once it's confirmed."
"Um."
...
I sat with Ji Jian for a whole day, we talked a lot, and she didn't leave until the afternoon.
Zhou Yun drove her home, and Ye Xinning remained silent the entire way, staring out the car window.
After meeting Ji Jianshen, her emotions became even more turbulent.
Ji Jianshen saved her, but he never told her.
If it weren't for Zhou Yun, she would never have known.
"Zhou Yun, when are you and your husband leaving?"
"Didn't Miss already ask the Master?"
“I asked him, but there’s a good chance he won’t tell me the truth.”
Zhou Yun, “…”
Who said this Miss Ye is easy to fool?
He thought, "No, not at all. This guy is very shrewd."
“Miss Ye is overthinking it. We do have very important business to attend to back in Beicheng. The gentleman’s health isn’t very good either, so it’s better to go back there to take care of him.”
"Really?"
"Um."
Ye Xinning kept her head down and didn't speak. After hearing Zhou Yun's words, she believed him to some extent.
"Remember to let me know when you're leaving, and I'll see you off."
"good."
...
After seeing Ye Xinning off, Zhou Yun returned to the villa and went straight to her room on the second floor.
Ji Jianshen stood by the window, still looking out at the view, leaving only his back to the outside world.
“Sir,” Zhou Yun said in a low voice.
Ji Jianshen didn't turn around, looking into the distance, his voice cool, "Has the person been delivered?"
Zhou Yun hummed in agreement, "It's been delivered."
Did she say anything?
