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

This night seemed like a real dream and I slept in a daze.

Ye Xiaowu rubbed his sore head and woke up. It was already noon the next day, and the sun was shining brightly outside.

She grabbed the collar and sniffed it, and it smelled unpleasantly of alcohol, and her facial features were distorted in a way that even she disliked.

I rushed to the bathroom and washed myself thoroughly from head to toe. The smell of alcohol from the previous night was washed away by the refreshing and pleasant smell of shower gel.

While washing and scrubbing, a strange image suddenly flashed through Duan Pian's mind.

I touched my lower lip subconsciously, feeling that I had drunk too much last night and kissed someone randomly.

I vaguely remember that it was Qin Rui who sent her back. Could it be that... she kissed Qin Rui forcibly?

Not really... Qin Rui looks like a pretty boy, which is not at all in line with her aesthetics and sexual preferences.

But she didn't trust her drinking.

After washing up, she immediately called Qin Rui.

As soon as the call was connected, Qin Rui said with a smile: "Calculating the time, you should have just sobered up at this time. You called me as soon as you sobered up. It seems that you have been fascinated by me."

Ye Xiaowu said disdainfully: "Yes, yes, yes, I have been bewitched by you now, let's talk business, I was drunk last night, did I do anything extreme?"

Excessive behavior?

Qin Rui said confidently: "Yes, of course, you don't know how passionate and unrestrained you are when you are drunk."

Ye Xiaowu's heart skipped a beat. "What...what did I do?"

Is it not just about incest, but something more serious?

"You hit me! You hit me so hard! My chest still hurts from the hit!"

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Just like that?"

That's good, I didn't do anything too off track.

Qin Rui reacted and laughed out loud: "You didn't think we slept, did you? You didn't even let me into your house last night, so I had to leave like a gentleman. But you hit my chest so hard, as compensation, shouldn't you invite me to your house this weekend and cook a meal for me?"

"You have a nice idea."

After making sure nothing happened, she replied lazily, glancing over and noticing two cups on the dining table.

She was too drunk last night and didn’t even take off her makeup, so the water cup with the obvious lipstick marks on it must have been used by her.

There was water in the other cup, but there was no mark on the rim.

She was stunned and asked Qin Rui on the phone: "Wait, you just said that you didn't come into my house last night?"

Qin Rui responded, "Yes, I would like to go in and have a drink of water. If you don't let me in, you have to let me in and ask for a drink of water next week."

So, who uses this other cup?

Is there a thief at home?

Ye Xiaowu stared at the cup and felt a chill on her back. For safety reasons, she immediately turned on the computer and checked the home surveillance on this floor.

After watching for a long time, she fast-forwarded to around 9:30 last night -

The elevator door opened and a tall and unruly male figure walked out.

Her eyes suddenly shrank and her heartbeat stopped.

I quickly pressed the pause button and the picture stayed there.

The quality of the surveillance video was not clear, but it was enough for people to see the figure and the face, which was extremely eye-catching.

He pulled the laptop closer and looked at it again and again in disbelief for a long while.

The man who had disappeared for eight whole months suddenly appeared before his eyes alive!

Not only is he alive, he also entered this house last night.

But what about others?

She stared at the surveillance screen and subconsciously reached for the phone at hand, but ended up knocking over the cup of water he had drunk from, causing the water in it to overflow the phone.

She quickly took some tissue to wipe it dry, then flipped to the private number and dialed it, her fingers trembling along with her heart.

Is he really still alive?

The phone rang for a long time. Compared to the tension here, the person who answered the phone seemed nonchalant: "Hello?"

With just a single "Hello", Ye Xiaowu almost immediately confirmed that the person opposite him was the living Xiao Yan!

Her breathing stopped and her vocal cords seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Xiao Yan waited for a long time, then sighed inaudibly, "What's the matter?"

She was still immersed in the great shock of his being alive, and had not yet sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere. She only said happily: "You, you...you are really still alive! Then, where have you been for so long? Since you are not dead, why did you let Uncle Fei transfer the inheritance to me?"

Also, where is he now?

You clearly came last night, why are you gone now?

There are so many doubts and questions exploding in my mind one after another, and I don’t know which one to ask first.

Compared to her astonishment and excitement.

Xiao Yan was unusually calm, and even his voice was flat: "The matter is too complicated to explain in a few words."

Ye Xiaowu thought that it involved too many secrets and he couldn't talk about it on the phone, so he asked: "Did you come to New York last night? You came..."

Xiao Yan interrupted her calmly: "I came to New York for business."

It was indeed work, mainly to take the investigation file of Colonel Kunk's case from Congressman Ed.

Now that the matter is done, he will leave naturally.

Ye Xiaowu vaguely heard the roar of a plane flying over his side, "Where have you been?"

"On the plane, back to Nanyang."

Ye Xiaowu gradually felt something was wrong and became more and more puzzled: "Why didn't you tell me that you were still alive?"

Xiao Yan said lazily: "Don't you know now?"

The tone was particularly nonchalant, as if they were not very familiar with each other.

However, she was the only heir to his huge inheritance, but now he gave her the feeling that they were both close and strangers.

Ye Xiaowu didn't know how to describe this feeling.

Oh, right, that's awkward.

It's just awkward, a particularly uncomfortable and indescribable awkwardness.

Because their relationship had clearly ended on the Royal Signature cruise ship.

However, although it was over, their emotional relationship was not severed. After Xiao Yan disappeared, she became the only heir to his huge estate.

It feels like they have broken up, but also like they are still entangled. This is the awkwardness of this relationship.

She pondered for a long time, then muttered tentatively: "Then, then you are still alive, should I return the inheritance... to you?"

Xiao Yan snorted without any emotion: "It's up to you."

what ever?

What do you mean by "it's up to you"?

Such a huge inheritance...whatever you want?

Ye Xiaowu was furious. "Let me do it? Of course I don't want to give it back to you."

"Then why are you asking me?"

The person on the other end seemed to be about to hang up.

Ye Xiaowu's brain twitched and he blurted out: "I...I want to ask about the bank card password."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, as if impatient: "If you can't remember, don't spend it."

"…You, you don't remember it either, do you?"

"Yes, I don't remember."

If she just felt that the atmosphere was not right just now, or maybe they had not seen each other for too long and felt a little unfamiliar with each other, then now, she really felt how cold Xiao Yan's attitude was and how much he didn't want to continue talking to her.

I was stabbed for no apparent reason.

Gradually, he came out of his shock and joy that he was still alive.

Ye Xiaowu took a deep breath and asked, "Xiao Yan, what is our relationship now?"

Xiao Yan did not hesitate and said directly: "The relationship is over."

"That legacy..."

"If you want to return the inheritance to me, then give it back to me. If you don't want to, just consider it as compensation for the mental damages I caused you to stay with me for a year."

Ye Xiaowu really didn't understand: "Why?"

"Why? If I die, won't you live well? Or are you willing to completely cut off contact with that pretty boy named Qin and stay by my side honestly?"

"Qin Rui...Qin Rui is just a friend."

friend?

The kind of friend you can touch her abs with? Or the kind of friend you can help her take off her high heels? Or the kind of friend you can flip a card and sleep with?

He sneered: "Yan Haoyue, I forced you to be with me, and Xiao Xiaowu is also dead. So from now on, you can start a new life."

Ye Xiaowu went from panicking to slowly calming down. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it true that, besides me, Uncle Fei and Old Eagle all know that you are not dead?"

Xiao Yan laughed very mockingly: "They knew, but I didn't tell them. They just knew me well enough to believe that I was not dead. Or, they were not like you, who could accept the news of my death so quickly."
