After she died, Mr. Bo knelt in front of the tombstone and cried like a dog.

The air seemed to condense.

Even the pulling pain in the right lower abdomen became numb and dull.

We were separated by the phone, so far away, yet so close, all my senses were forcibly occupied by his voice.

After asking those three words, there was no response. They just stood there in a stalemate, and no one spoke.

Compared to Yan Haoyue's tenseness.

Xiao Yan was extremely calm. He just waited for a long time and sighed impatiently: "I'll give you three more minutes. I won't hang up now."

Three minutes, in which she could speak eloquently if she wanted to.

When Ye Xiaowu's mouth is sweet, it's like honey, but of course, he can be very cruel.

She covered her mouth tightly and said hurriedly in a trembling voice: "Wrong number, sorry."

It was a very light sentence, but it took all my strength.

"beep--"

The call was hung up.

Xiao Yan, who was far away in New York, sneered as he looked at the disconnected call.

Wrong call?

Feel sorry?

Holding her head in apology.

Grass.

He kicked over the chair next to him.

A rage burned in his body, and he gritted his teeth and asked the eagle: "Who is Xie An?"

In the ten months since Ye Xiaowu returned to Nancheng, Xiao Yan has been letting him do what he wants and not caring about anything.

But Old Eagle had been with him for many years, and no matter how dumb he was, he knew to take the initiative to secretly observe Ye Xiaowu's situation in South City.

Money is almost omnipotent in this world. It is easy to arrange one or two informants to keep an eye on Ye Xiaowu.

"Her new boyfriend from a blind date."

Old Eagle paused, looked at the man's gloomy face, and finally told him everything: "We have been dating officially for more than half a month. I wanted to tell you before, but you said that you should treat her as dead and stop reporting on the death."

Xiao Yan smiled wryly, "You are reporting very carefully now, aren't you?"

"Where are the photos?"

"photo?"

Eagle was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and handed over the photo sent by the informant.

What the hell does Xie An look like? He’s only been in her house for over half a month, and yet he’s allowed to enter her house?

Xiao Yan looked at him with a frown.

He doesn't look that good, he wears glasses and looks like a bespectacled guy.

Ye Xiaowu is probably blind, his aesthetic taste has been degraded to this level.

Being ugly does that mean you are rich?

You have to figure out something.

He asked coldly: "What is the origin of this guy?"

Old Eagle said: "The Xie family is considered a leading enterprise in South City, making medical devices, and he is the only son in the family."

Only son?

He looks like a mama's boy. So what if he is the only son? He has the final say in his family.

He has the final say, but how much money does he have?

Old Eagle pursed his lips and asked with gritted teeth: "Do you want to bring her back directly?"

Xiao Yan threw his phone away, too lazy to look at it anymore. He felt very unlucky.

"She was talking to that guy surnamed Xie so enthusiastically, why did she call me? She's talking, but she's such a mama's boy. She's really cruel to be able to talk for more than a month."

Not even him.

She wants this kind of stuff?

……

On this side, after Yan Haoyue hung up the mind-boggling phone call, he held his stomach and calmed down for a long time before calling Xie An.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

She asked directly: "My stomach hurts so badly, it might be appendicitis, can you take me to the hospital?"

There was a slightly heavy breathing sound coming from the phone. Xie An seemed to be sleeping after drinking too much. His voice was sleepy: "Ah... I drank tonight and can't drive. Do you want to find your other friends or call an ambulance yourself?"

She wanted to say a few words, but then she thought it was unnecessary.

When the words came to his lips, he just replied calmly with two words: "Okay."

It's just a stomachache, but there's no need to call an ambulance. It's a bit of an exaggeration.

She called her assistant Qin Rui.

We arrived at the hospital quickly.

I pressed the right lower abdomen and felt obvious pain, indicating appendicitis.

I don’t want to have surgery for the time being, so I was prescribed two bottles of anti-inflammatory water to hang.

The emergency room in the early morning was messy and cold.

Qin Rui sat beside her and asked her, "Boss, are you hungry? Do you want to drink something hot?"

She shook her head and lowered her eyes to see that he was in his pajama pants.

For a moment, his eyes were sore, and he smiled and said, "You are average in your ability to do things, but you are quite kind-hearted."

Qin Rui joked cheerfully: "You are my boss. If you say so, I will definitely go through fire and water to do whatever it takes."

The corners of her lips curled up, and she said with drooping eyelashes: "My last assistant was also very good to me and very capable."

Later she tried to find one like him.

but.

There is a world of difference.

Qin Rui asked: "Then why did he quit?"

She raised her head and smiled, looking straight at Qin Rui: "Maybe the salary is too low."

No matter how good Qin Rui is, he is not him.

So she looked at him without any evasion.

Qin Rui couldn't help but feel pity for her when he saw her pale face due to pain, but people always have to leave, and now was a chance to talk, so he said, "Boss, I may... have to resign too."

Yan Haoyue was not surprised, raised an eyebrow and asked: "Go home and inherit the family property?"

Qin Rui smiled and said, "I thought you would try to keep me, and promise me a salary increase next month or something. We've been together for two months, so we should have some feelings for each other."

"If you stay by my side as an assistant for the rest of your life, you'll be really wasted."

Qin Rui's eyes also turned serious, and he said, "I have to go back to New York. My father's company is going to ring the bell to go public on the New York Stock Exchange, and I have to go over to help him."

In fact, he went back to his hometown in Nancheng this time to visit his grandmother. In order to avoid being idle, he just found an internship.

She nodded, and when she heard about the city of New York, she felt mixed emotions, lowered her eyes and sighed, "I really envy you."

"Why are you jealous of me? Are you jealous that I have a family business to inherit?"

"I envy you for being able to go to New York."

Qin Rui was puzzled: "If you want to go to New York, you can go too. It's just a matter of a plane ticket."

She laughed, "It's a plane ticket for you, but not for me."

Yan Chen may never wake up.

But she couldn't get rid of her stall and could never go to New York.

Qin Rui resigned the next day.

When he left, he gave her a hug and gave her the best wishes with shining eyes: "Boss, I hope you can go to New York one day. See you in New York."

The world is big, gathering and dispersing, dispersing and gathering, just like the clouds in the sky, unpredictable.

Not long after Qin Rui left.

Yan Haoyue sent a WeChat message to Xie An: [Let’s break up]

It’s so simple that I don’t even bother to type in punctuation.

Not long after the message was sent, Xie An called and asked a barrage of questions.

"Is it because I didn't accompany you last night because you had period pain? I drank a lot last night and couldn't drive. It would be more efficient for you to call an ambulance than for me to pick you up at your house. I'm not a doctor, Yueyue. We are both adults. Do you have to be so fussy about it?"

Yan Haoyue didn't even think about arguing with him, so he said, "I have to go to a meeting, are you done?"

Xie An is a child spoiled by his parents, and he will keep pestering if he doesn't get a response.

"I'll come to your company to see you right away, and let's talk it out, okay? I know you're having your period and your mood is unstable, I can understand that."

"Don't come to my company. I'm emotionally stable. Let's break up."

Xie An became angrier and angrier as he spoke: "My parents have invited us to dinner with Mr. Yan tonight. I guess both sets of parents want to discuss our engagement. How are you going to explain to them if you break up now? Are you going to tell them that you had a stomachache during your period and I didn't accompany you, so you are breaking up with me? My parents said that the engagement gift depends on you. Now you are acting like this, my parents..."

She took a deep breath, feeling suffocated, and interrupted him directly: "Don't you fucking know how to speak except what my parents say and what my parents say?"

"you……"

"Xie An, listen carefully, I want to break up with you. This is not a discussion, this is a notice."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

The call was disconnected just a few minutes ago.

Then Mr. Yan called.

Ah.

She would tell the elders about the breakup as soon as they broke up and would never handle her own affairs independently. If there was any problem, either her parents would come to find her or ask Old Yan to come to find her.

She had had enough and needed to calm down.

This time, he didn’t even answer Mr. Yan’s call.

In the afternoon, the meeting was over.

She had almost calmed down and was about to call Mr. Yan back to explain everything, but then she saw Xie An's bombardment of messages.

[Are you dissatisfied with the small engagement gift? ]

[You had a stomachache last night during your period, and I didn't take care of you. I was wrong. Next time you have your period, I will definitely accompany you.]

[Yueyue, we are already at the age of getting married, so there is no need to do this, right? ]

[You broke up with me, do you have someone better? 】

[Is it because of the guy in your photo album? Who is he? Are you dating him?]

……

She looked at the messages with a blank expression, not wanting to refute at all.

Maybe she wanted to get rid of Xie An too much, so she replied: [Yes, I broke up with you because of the guy in the album. I can't forget him. Is that ok? ]

I really don’t want to receive such endless WeChat messages anymore.

She blocked Xie An.

The world suddenly became quiet.

I am obviously free after leaving Nanyang, but why is it that now that I am in Nancheng and sitting in this office, it feels like another cage.

After Xie An, Mr. Yan did not immediately arrange a blind date for her.

The Chinese New Year was approaching and she was very busy at the end of the year. She finally got through it, but she couldn't take it anymore. She took advantage of the New Year leave to book a 20-day luxury cruise trip for herself.

Royal Mark of the Seas, sailing from Mexico to Cuba to the Caribbean.

Before leaving Nancheng, she went to the hospital to see Yan Chen, who was still in the same condition, half dead.

She collapsed peacefully.

……

During the New Year, the luxury cruise ship was packed.

During the first five days, the cruise ship stopped at various ports in Mexico.

After getting off the ship, she traveled freely and took another hot air balloon ride in Mexico City.

The hot air balloon slowly rose into the air and flew over the Sun and Moon Pyramids below. She was shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, and she almost cried.

It is impossible for a person to live his life just for a few colorful moments and fragments.

But I will constantly, involuntarily, and repeatedly cherish and recall those moments that are so profound that I can never forget them.

Revisiting an old place is like looking for a sword on a boat.

Hot air balloons rise every day, sunsets occur almost every day, and she can come to Mexico countless times.

But only that moment is better than all the others.

We returned to the port and boarded the ship. At the agreed time, the cruise ship left and continued to drift to the next port.

At night, there was a strong wind on the deck. She sat at the bar and drank a few glasses of champagne. Occasionally, she was approached by strange men, but she was not interested. She paid the tip and prepared to go back to her room to rest with her thick coat.

When we walked through the cruise ship lobby, it was crowded with people celebrating New Year's Eve and it was very lively.

I took two steps forward boredly, and a striking and tall male figure quickly passed by the crowd.

She stood still, her eyes sharp as she followed the figure as it merged into the crowd.

Is that... Xiao Yan?

Without even having time to think, she raised her legs and chased after him.

There were too many people and the figure was walking so fast that he soon disappeared.

There were crowds of people around her, and she looked around aimlessly in the crowd.

Missed.

The heartbeat that was suspended high in the air gradually calmed down... I must have seen it wrong.

She turned around without hope and was about to go back when a gunshot suddenly rang out behind her!

"boom!"

The whole hall was in chaos, with screams going wild.

Before she knew what had happened, she was carried forward by the panicked crowd. When she passed the sea view room at the bow, her lower back suddenly tightened and she was pushed hard.

The door of the room opened and closed quickly. In just three seconds, before I could see anything clearly, I was pushed heavily against the door.

It instantly isolated itself from the chaos outside.

A familiar masculine scent with a strong sense of aggression came down from the hood, hot and clear, calm and arrogant.

In the darkness, a chuckle rang out beside my ears: "Mexico? Going on a hot air balloon ride with your blind date?"

My heart was beating so wildly that it was suffocating and it felt like it was going to jump out.

She was completely stunned.

His lips were slightly parted but he couldn't utter a word.

Xiao Yan stared at her with a sharp yet casual gaze, as if smiling: "I haven't seen you for 11 months. You don't recognize me anymore because you have a new lover?"

What a coincidence.

Almost a year has passed, and here it is, in his hands again.
