Praise You
Ye Yuanyin was taken back to Ancheng.
On the way back, the blindfold was removed to avoid arousing police suspicion, but her hands were still tied behind her. The two people in the car were strangers, presumably hired to do favors for money.
They drove back to Ancheng on the highway, wary of her making any difficult-to-handle toll booths. Because they were driving at night and the distance was long, they made two stops. Each stop was accompanied by a different driver, and Ye Yuanyin was unable to extract any useful information from them.
She had a vague premonition in her heart, but before the result came, she didn't dare to be very sure. She just hoped that Chen Dian would see what she left behind as soon as possible.
After entering the city and heading towards the northern suburbs, the person next to me made a phone call. After saying something, they hung up.
By then, the sky had begun to turn white. As we walked up the winding mountain road, we saw Shen Wentian's villa halfway up the mountain gradually appearing before our eyes.
The car drove in as if no one was there, and Shen Lianxing was already waiting there.
When he saw someone, he changed his usual domineering attitude and greeted them warmly, "Ah, Xiaoye, we finally got you back."
Ye Yuanyin thought, it was her. "It seems like a crime for you to treat me like this."
"This child, how could a family say such serious things?" Shen Lianxing knew she couldn't escape, so he had the ropes untied. He said with a smile on his face, "Auntie just invited you to be a guest. Maybe time was urgent, so you misunderstood. Who can I blame for this? It's because Shen Di'an didn't give me this opportunity."
Starting from Jiutao Village, they went to so much trouble, fearing that people would not take the bait. They mobilized so much manpower and resources, but lied with their eyes open, one lie after another.
Ye Yuanyin just smiled and did not refute.
Shen Lianxing looked at the camera in the corner cautiously and said, "This is not a place to talk. Come with me."
The Shen family mansion covers a large area. In addition to the main house, there are also side rooms with various functions. Shen Lianxing took her into one of the rooms, where there were two girls, both tall and thin.
"This is the costume designer, and this is the makeup artist."
"What?" Ye Yuanyin looked at Shen Lianxing with a hint of sarcasm and asked, "Grandpa and grandma are going to hold another banquet?"
Shen Lianxing found her expression jarring, perhaps because she'd spent so much time with Chen Yan'an that even the way she spoke had caught on. "I have an important event tomorrow morning that I need you to attend. Decide on your outfit and makeup today. You must look your best. Auntie is looking forward to seeing you."
"What occasion?"
"You'll know tomorrow." Shen Lianxing stopped talking nonsense with her. After speaking, he winked at the two girls, turned around and walked out.
The two girls knew nothing about this. The man was only responsible for his professional work. He lowered his head and spoke softly to ask her about her favorite clothing style, and designed makeup for her according to her clothes.
"Then we'll come back tomorrow morning at seven. Please rest early tonight."
Ye Yuanyin watched the two walk away, wondering what Shen Lianxing was up to. Thinking about it, it was probably something that would be detrimental to Shen Ji'an.
She was trapped here, without any means of communication or support, like an isolated island. Fortunately, Shen Lianxing still had some compassion and let her have her first full meal in two days.
The house was cleaned up temporarily, and there was a damp and moldy smell on the quilt, which made people feel wet in their hearts.
Ye Yuanyin didn't care about so many things. She thought that since she was here, she might as well make the best of it. She took a comfortable hot bath and then went into bed for a long nap.
When I opened my eyes, it was already night.
On a summer night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
This house is far away from the main house where the Shen couple lives, so it is particularly remote and desolate. However, the family does not keep idle people. Even though it is in a remote location, there will be staff coming to clean and look after it every once in a while.
The trimmed vegetation in the yard was unlike anything you'd see in the countryside, with its neatly arranged flowers, plants, and trees. She gazed at the distant, dark sky, thinking about the road ahead, which held no clear path to happiness or sadness, and suddenly sighed.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound among the trees, followed by the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against low bushes, which sounded thrilling.
There was a row of tall sycamore trees planted beside the courtyard wall of the villa halfway up the mountain. A dark shadow jumped down from the tree. Ye Yuanyin was startled and tried to run into the house.
But someone grabbed his shoulders and threw his body into a warm embrace.
Then her face was lifted up again, and a force that could not be ignored rushed into her mouth. She tilted her head back, and her heart seemed to fall into a boundless ocean. Her mouth and nose were all filled with water, leaving only a little consciousness floating in the ocean.
The strength in the man's hands seemed to be embedding her into her flesh and blood. Ye Yuanyin was held tightly in his arms. When she spoke, her voice was trembling, "Why are you here?"
She used a little starlight to see the appearance of the person coming.
The man's handsome face was hidden in the darkness, like a tree in the garden that was about to fall, and his smiling eyes were gentle and kind, like water in a pond that was about to overflow.
Sediment's voice was stagnant and hoarse as he asked, "Are you okay?"
Ye Yuanyin looked a little dazed. "It's okay." She repeated her previous words clumsily, like someone who had fallen into the abyss, unable to believe it: "Why are you here?"
Zhan Yan held her hand, and with a little force on his thumb, he pinched her soft fingers, like an electric current running from his palm to his heart, "You are here, how can I not come?"
"Hey... I'm asking you something serious."
“I’m answering seriously.”
Chen Yan found her serious expression adorable, so he bent his index finger and flicked her smooth forehead. "Everyone in this family has their own agenda. They have their own ways, and I have mine."
What happened in the past two days made her feel like a year. When they met again after a long separation, she looked at his face and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Why are you silent?"
She shyly avoided his gaze, feeling awkward, like someone feeling homesick. "What on earth do they want me to do tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is the second press conference for the KZ online healing project." He looked down at her, his heart truly fond of her. He held her in his arms, feeling nothing else matter. "If you have any dirty water, just throw it on me."
"How can that be?" Ye Yuanyin frowned, pushed him away, and was filled with righteous indignation. "Why? We didn't do anything wrong."
Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh at her, "Who said 'we' to you? Someone was clearly arguing about 'breaking up' a few days ago."
She looked embarrassed, straightened her back, and said, "Who told you to be so careless?"
"Yes, I am not disciplined." Chen Yan glanced at her sideways and said with a half-smile, "I didn't invite anyone to my room."
Ye Yuanyin knew he was talking about You Jing, and since she couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, she quickly changed the subject, holding her forehead and said, "Ouch, it hurts. Look at my head, did someone hit me? You don't even know, that person was so cruel."
Chen Yan felt a pang of pain in his heart after she successfully touched his heart. Seeing that her left hand was also bandaged, he wondered why she always encountered such bad luck.
He gently held her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, then asked, "Does it hurt?"
Ye Yuanyin's eyes were filled with tears. He was the only person in the world besides her parents who cared about whether she was in pain or not. But she didn't want to make him worry at this moment, so she made light of it and said, "It's nothing, just a little skin breakage. The doctor took care of it this morning."
How could Chen Yan not know what she was thinking? Ever since he saw her, there had been a sour feeling in his heart. When the words fell to his lips, he commented lightly: "How stupid."
"Not stupid at all," Ye Yuanyin smiled good-naturedly, his curved eyes filled with stars. "Did you find the hairpin I left for you?"
"Found it."
Because I couldn't see at the time, I confirmed it with him again, "Is that hairpin red? And cherry-shaped?"
"Yes. Is it yours?"
"It's not mine. It's Xiao Ruan's. Her mother bought it for her. I've seen it before."
Chen Yan'an looked suspicious and said, "That's strange. Why are Xiao Ruan's things there?"
"Where is it? Who kidnapped me?"
Chen Yan bent his fingers and was about to knock her forehead again, but his hand reached the edge, but he was afraid that he would really knock her silly, so he gently touched her hair, a smile on his face, "You don't even know who is outside, and you dare to open the door for them?!"
Ye Yuanyin felt the smile on his lips like a knife, ready to rip her apart if it fell. She had been so engrossed in arguing with him that day that she had let her guard down.
"Don't be angry." She pulled him closer to her, stood on tiptoe and raised her head to kiss the corner of his mouth, saying as she kissed him, "I won't do this next time."
Sediment enjoyed her rare initiative, thinking that she hadn't listened even once when he'd spoken to her. It seemed she still needed a lesson. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Ye Yuanyin's heart was beating like a drum. In her daze, she saw his face, which looked like a collapsed jade mountain. Her chest felt like a bow was stretched in tension, and she closed her eyes in embarrassment.
Sediment pinched her chin with one hand and bit her cheek.
She was dissatisfied and said, "It hurts."
"It hurts, that's right. Let's see if you'll remember this lesson next time."
"I remember," Ye Yuanyin recalled for a moment, but seemed to be confirming with him, "the person outside the door was Lin Yi. But I lost consciousness a while later, so I'm not sure whether it was him or not."
This was beyond Chen Yan'an's expectations. He was suspicious and said, "Chen Lianxing wanted to kidnap you. He could have gone to Tie Sandeng, Duofu, Hua Mei, or even Youshan. Any one of them could have been the one. How could it be him?"
The two people were talking in the yard when someone knocked on the door outside the room.
When Shen Wentian built this house, he used a combination of Chinese and Western designs. In addition to the main hall where he and his grandmother lived, the east and west wing rooms were for his sons and daughters to live in. Several courtyards were built later. Although Ye Yuanyin didn't know where his room was located, Chen Di'an knew it.
He probably guessed who was outside, so he leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Don't forget to ask who it is first."
Ye Yuanyin was a little worried and reached out to push him out, "Go quickly, don't let them see you."
Sediment's expression looked as if he was considering something.
Ye Yuanyin persuaded him again, "I haven't figured out what happened with Lin Yi just now. Please go out and help me think about it first."
He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Go ahead. I know this place better than you."
She walked from the yard into the house, stopped at the door and asked who it was.
A deep male voice sounded outside the door, and Shen Yuheng said, "It's me."
Ye Yuanyin thought, this is too much bullying. Shen Lianxing disregarded other people's wishes and used such an unscrupulous method to tie him up. Now even Shen Yuheng has joined in the fun. "It's too late. If Fourth Uncle has anything to say, let's talk tomorrow."
"It will be too late to tell you tomorrow."
"Then go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
Suddenly, Zhang Yunrong's voice rang out from outside the door. She said, "Child, please open the door. Let's go to the garden and talk. You can't trust others, but you can always trust grandma, right?"
Ye Yuanyin was in a dilemma.
