Upon seeing his master's tattered phone on the ground, Ye Song immediately knew something was wrong and quickly left the hotel.
...
Inside the black minivan.
Ye Ling'er looked at Nangong Ci's malicious smile beside her, and alarm bells went off in her mind.
I wonder if I've just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another.
Seeing the man's wicked grin made her even more convinced that she might have discovered the truth.
Ye Ling'er was about to cry.
What kind of luck is this? God can't be playing tricks on her like this.
Her delicate heart couldn't take it.
In that case, she might as well not have run away.
It was obvious that there was only one person over there, but there was a whole group of people here, and the person in front of him didn't look like a good person at all.
Someone please save her, poor thing!
Seeing that Ye Ling'er was about to cry, Nangong Ci decided to stop teasing her. "Little crybaby, look who I am?"
His face was full of doting smiles, exactly the same as when Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue.
But Ye Ling'er, who was in a state of panic, couldn't tell what kind of expression it was at all.
Hearing the man's words, she looked puzzled.
Little crybaby?
Suddenly, a long-forgotten memory was awakened.
In her mind, there was a boy about the same age as her brother, who was always aloof and never smiled, but every time she cried, he would appear beside her and hand her a tissue, saying, "Little crybaby, why are you crying again?"
Every time, she would angrily take the tissue and say to the boy, "You're the crybaby!"
Then she used the tissue the boy gave her to sniffle hard before throwing it away, and then left without looking back.
Ye Ling'er had figured it out and was overjoyed, "It's you!"
At that moment, she wasn't so scared anymore.
It was him! After all these years, he had grown into a handsome young man, almost as dashing as her aloof brother.
Nangong Ci smiled and nodded slowly. "It's me. Very good. After all these years, the little crybaby still remembers me."
Nangong Ci naturally knew who Ye Ling'er remembered him to be, after all, "Little Crybaby" was his exclusive nickname for her.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er immediately retorted unhappily, "You're the crybaby, your whole family are crybabies."
When she was little, she always cried because she was hurt or felt wronged, not because she was a crybaby!
That damn ugly freak, why did she have to give her such an awful nickname!
I'm surprised I still remember him!
Ye Ling'er immediately became angry and very dissatisfied with what Nangong Ci had said.
Nangong Ci smiled but remained silent.
After a long while, seeing that the car still showed no sign of stopping, Ye Ling'er had no choice but to swallow her pride and ask, "Where are you taking me?"
Nangong Ci chuckled and joked, "I'll take you home."
Go home? Go to whose home? His home?
She absolutely refuses to go to a strange man's house!
"Go home? I don't want to go back to your house. Drop me off at that intersection ahead, I'll go home by myself," Ye Ling'er said, pointing to the traffic light intersection.
“I’m worried about you, a girl all by yourself,” Nangong Ci said firmly.
He could only feel at ease if he handed it over to Ye Mohan himself. Although he wished he could take Ye Ling'er home with him, he knew that with Ye Mohan around, he couldn't even think about it.
Ye Ling'er silently rolled her eyes in her mind.
It's not safe for me, a girl, to go home alone. If you, a grown man, take me home, will I be safe?
Ye Ling'er scoffed at Nangong Ci's words.
Ye Ling'er didn't say these words aloud. Instead, she looked like she was open to negotiation. "My phone was taken away. How about this, you lend me your phone to call my brother, and I'll have him come pick me up. Is that alright?"
This was the compromise she came up with.
Although she had known the man before, she did not know his identity, and she did not have any particularly pleasant memories of their private interactions.
It's because he keeps calling himself a crybaby, and almost every time it ends badly, so no one bothers to ask who he is.
Naturally, Ye Ling'er was unaware of the relationship between Nangong Ci and Ye Mohan.
Therefore, she didn't think Nangong Ci would be so kind as to send her back; it would be a miracle if he didn't abandon her halfway.
That's what Ye Ling'er was thinking.
"No." Nangong Ci refused without even thinking.
Having finally met again, how could he bear to let her go?
He just wanted to use the excuse of dropping her off to spend some more time alone with her, even if it was just for a minute longer.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er pouted and said aggrievedly, "How can you be like this? You've already rescued me, is it so hard for me to lend you my phone to make a call?"
If her phone hadn't been confiscated and she hadn't been penniless, she wouldn't have begged him so humbly.
Moreover, with the kidnapper still lurking in the shadows, it was even less likely that she would get out of the car in a fit of anger.
If I get tied up again later, I know I'll be in big trouble when I get back.
Ye Ling'er felt more and more aggrieved as she thought about it, and tears fell like pearls.
Looking at the tears streaming down Ye Ling'er's face, Nangong Ci felt a pang of helplessness.
He had never been with a woman before and didn't know how to comfort her.
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Ci decided to tell her the truth, "Don't cry, I'm not very good at comforting women. I'm taking you back to your brother's place. I told him I'd touch you too, and I've already contacted your brother."
"Really?" Ye Ling'er immediately stopped crying.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Ci immediately felt that women were truly unfathomable creatures, their moods changing as quickly as the weather, catching people completely off guard.
Nangong Ci nodded seriously.
At this moment, a relaxed smile appeared on Ye Ling'er's face. "Thank you, I remember your life-saving grace."
Although she had her own reasons for escaping, she definitely wouldn't have been able to escape alone without Nangong Ci's help.
Nangong Ci was taken aback for a moment, then understood.
This girl has probably misunderstood.
Those people were actually sent by Ye Mohan.
He followed them because he happened to have some business in Purgatory and happened to run into them on a mission. He then asked them a question and learned that she had been kidnapped by Ye Wenyao.
So he came uninvited.
Everyone in this group knew his identity, so he was the supreme commander on site.
That's why Ye Ling'er misunderstood that it was his people who saved her.
However, it can also be considered that Purgatory is the second-in-command.
Nangong Ci had no intention of telling Ye Ling'er the truth. He wanted this beautiful misunderstanding to continue, so that he would have a good reason to meet her.
Seeing that Nangong Ci was staring at her, Ye Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
What's wrong with this person?
Why are you staring at her like that? Did she bump her face on something while she was running away?
Ye Ling'er turned her head to look out the car window.
