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

Ye Xiaowu clenched the box of medicine tightly, looking at the light sneer on his face. His palms seemed to be on fire. He could neither throw it away nor hide it.

She quickly explained: "I'm going to apply for a PhD soon, and then I want to work in an investment bank like Goldman Sachs or Morgan, so..."

Xiao Yan seemed not surprised by such excuses. He looked straight at her, neither angry nor upset. He just sneered and said, "You are bullying me because I haven't studied for a doctorate, right? It takes five years to study for a doctorate in finance at NYU. Most people get their degrees in their thirties. Or do you think that doctoral students are all single and unattached? Huh?"

"Okay, studying for a PhD is exhausting, and I understand you don't want to have children. What does working for Goldman Sachs or Morgan have to do with whether you want to get pregnant or have children?"

"I happen to be a client of Goldman Sachs and Morgan. Why haven't I heard of such rules and regulations in their companies that prohibit female employees from getting pregnant and having children? Or are all the employees of Goldman Sachs and Morgan single?"

"In short, you always have an excuse. Anyone and anything is more important than me and our relationship."

Yan family.

A pretty boy named Qin.

Now I am studying for a doctorate.

Even wanting to work at Goldman Sachs or Morgan became an excuse.

He really wanted to believe her and that she had some feelings for him.

But not once did she choose him, not even after hesitation.

No.

Seeing his slightly red eyes, Ye Xiaowu couldn't help but shed tears and said in a hoarse voice: "I just feel that it's not suitable now..."

He seemed to hear a joke: "When is the right time? When you finish your Ph.D., when you get promoted and get a raise at Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley, and become a manager?"

He doesn't have to have children.

But now, it seemed that only by having a child could he be sure that she really wanted to stay with him.

He had been very restrained in not forcing her, and he had also made up his mind to end it, but she came to provoke him again.

I can't do it after I provoke you, or I just don't want to give it to you.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he looked a little helpless and mocking.

The smile on the corner of his lips deepened: "Yan Haoyue, next time, find an excuse, do some background check, or get to know me a little better before lying to me. I really want to make myself believe you, but your lies and excuses are so poor."

He didn't want to pretend anymore and just came clean.

"The box of birth control pills in your hand is what I bought when I went down the mountain yesterday. I just want to try it out. Is there a time, just this one time, when you will consider me?"

Ye Xiaowu choked up and said, "It's not like that, it's not like that... Wait until I finish the interview, wait until I..."

etc.

All waiting.

The reason is simple, she has no feelings for him, so naturally everyone and everything comes before him.

He snorted coldly and interrupted her: "Wait until you get through the first year of full-time school, right? Let me tell you, there is no difference between the first and second years. There is no time limit for studying for a doctorate in the United States. You can still apply for a doctorate even if you are forty years old. Yan Haoyue, it only takes one year to give birth to a child. After the child is born, someone will naturally help you take care of it. I only need one year of your time. Is this too much?"

He doesn't have to force them, but if they want to continue, there has to be some bond between them, and children are the best bond.

However, since she had made her choice, he didn't want to force her anymore.

He had almost predicted all of her excuses, and going on would only make things more boring.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "You came to Nanyang to find me because I said it was over, so you panicked and were afraid that I would take back the inheritance. I also told you that what was given to you is yours, and I will not take it back."

"The passwords for those bank cards are eight digits. The first four digits are the day you woke up in the hospital when you came to Nanyang and reunited with me as Ye Xiaowu, 0619. The last four digits are the day you drew a heart on the glass window. I know you can't remember it. They are 0122."

On January 1 last year in New York, heavy snow was falling outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of One22 Apartment. She leaned in his arms and scribbled two strokes on the foggy floor-to-ceiling windows.

Just because of those two sums, he believed everything, and Xiao Xiaowu was gone.

He said in a cold voice, "Take the medicine if you want. It's up to you. The day after tomorrow I will go to Mexico to build a base and develop a mercenary company. The core members here will also go to help. It's not safe for you to stay here alone."

What this means is that she should go back to New York in the next two days.

Any explanation at this moment became an excuse and a lie. She took a deep breath and said, "I can go to Mexico with you."

"Mexico is a mess, and there were a lot of things going on there just now, so it's hard for me to take care of you. I forced our relationship, so I won't really ignore you."

He always kept his word to her.

I always say it's over but I keep breaking my promise.

She can do anything, and he will tolerate her unconditionally in the end, but this takes time. He has little humanity and is calm enough, but he is a human being, and being a human being will make people tired.

Ye Xiaowu's throat felt sore and he asked in a choked voice, "Is it only if I go back to New York that you can stop bothering me, or should we just be quiet for a while?"

"After dinner, I'll ask Chen Anran to take you to the airport."

No hold back.

Extremely indifferent.

Ye Xiaowu raised his hand to wipe away his tears, sniffed and said, "No need, I'll go by myself now."

It was noon outside, but the sky was gloomy.

It looks like it's going to rain heavily.

Ye Xiaowu ran back to the room, hastily packed his suitcase, and dragged it out of the base.

I bumped into Chen Anran who was coming back from dinner.

Chen Anran was slightly startled when he saw her face full of tears: "What's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with A Yan and are you leaving again?"

Didn’t you just come here to chase someone yesterday and gave her a cold look, and now you can’t stay here anymore?

Is this even half-hearted? Not even half-hearted.

When Ye Xiaowu thought of Xiao Yan's plan to take Chen Anran to Mexico, he was furious and said with red eyes, "It's none of your business."

Chen Anran was too lazy to argue with her, and frowned and said, "It's probably going to rain heavily. Even if you want to leave, I'll tell A Yan and I'll take you to the airport."

Otherwise, the road down the mountain is so winding, and if it rains heavily, you might slip and break your leg, which would be another hassle.

Ye Xiaowu ignored her.

A Yan, A Yan, this is so annoying.

Doesn't he have a full name?

Ye Xiaowu walked straight away dragging his suitcase.

Dark clouds pressed down from the sky, heavy rain fell rapidly in the distance, and a layer of smoke soon rose.

Chen Anran took a look at the heavy rain and reported to Xiao Yan: "Ye Xiaowu just left. Should I drive to see her off or bring her back?"

Xiao Yan leaned back on the sofa, his face so cold that no emotion or reaction could be seen.

The room was filled with white smoke. The cigarette at his fingertips was half burned. As the hot ash fell, a muffled thunder sounded outside.

Chen Anran pursed her lips, and seeing that he was unmoved, she said, "I just saw her crying quite hard."

If he really intends to let go, she will of course support him. She never thought Ye Xiaowu was right for him, but can he let go?

As long as he is alive, he will fight with Ye Xiaowu to the end, no matter whether he uses hard or soft means, no matter how fiercely they quarrel, no matter how many times Ye Xiaowu hurts him, no matter how angry he is, he will not let go in the end.

No one dared to chase after them unless Xiao Yan gave the order.

Outside, the cold, heavy rain was hitting the roof, the swaying trees, the muddy ground... and his skin.

He grasped the cigarette butt in his palm and crushed it out.

He stood up suddenly, without saying a word, and strode into the rain.

Not even an umbrella.

The heavy rain wet his unruly and upright figure. The bean-sized raindrops slid down his sharp and gloomy face. His pace became faster and faster.

Ye Xiaowu walked very slowly, dragging his suitcase.

Xiao Yan strode forward and soon caught up with her in the misty rain, "Ye Xiaowu!"

The slender figure in front visibly stiffened, and the fingers gripping the suitcase handle suddenly loosened, and the large white suitcase slammed heavily into the muddy rain.

Ye Xiaowu turned around and ran towards him, the dirty mud splashing on her trouser legs and shoes, but she no longer cared about anything and just rushed into his arms and hugged his neck tightly.

Xiao Yan held her lower back firmly.

All the emotions seemed to have accumulated to a breaking point, gushing out unstoppably at this moment.

She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed, "I don't want the inheritance, I don't want anything, I just want you... I like you, I really like you, I have never liked someone like this before."

"I don't know how to make you believe me. I have returned the 10% of Fengxing's shares to Mr. Yan and Yan Chen. I really want to start over with you in New York. I have never, never felt so deeply tied to someone."

"When I was taken to the police station, your name was the only one in my mind, so I called you. It's not that there was no one else to call. That's not the case."

She could also call the Yan family and ask them to see if they had any lawyers they knew in New York who could bail her out. Although the process would be troublesome, it would not be impossible to find an acquaintance.

But at that moment, she subconsciously just wanted to find him.

She didn't know when it started, but she had already regarded him as her closest person.

"Xiao Yan, I like you. I like you so much."

The rain mixed with tears fell madly on my face.

Ye Xiaowu didn't know what to say. She had told many lies before, but now, every word she said was true.

Xiao Yan's Adam's apple pressed against her forehead trembled slightly, and he hugged her tightly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I believe you."

The two hugged each other in the rain for a while.

Xiao Yan gently pushed her left shoulder away, lowered his head to look at her red eyes, and caressed her face with his fingertips, "Let's go back first and talk about it later, okay?"

Ye Xiaowu nodded.

Xiao Yan held her up with one hand and carried her on his back, while with the other hand he pushed the box and walked towards the base.

Ye Xiaowu was carrying a calfskin backpack, his hands tightly around his neck, leaning on his shoulders, staring at his profile with his misty, wet, red eyes.

Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly and asked, "Did you not eat just now?"

She said "hmm".

"You're running so fast without eating."

Ye Xiaowu's mouth twitched slightly: "I'm already walking very slowly. Why don't you drive over to pick me up?"

This way, I don't have to carry her in the rain anymore.

Xiao Yan felt distressed and amused: "It's slower to drive here than for me to catch up directly."

Besides, he was almost mad.

I don't even have the patience to look for my car keys.

The car that drove her head.

Soon, we arrived at the base.

Not far away, Lao Ying and Chen Anran were standing in the corridor.

Chen Anran stretched out his hand towards him and moved his fingers: "You lose."

They bet on whether Ye Xiaowu would come back, and the stake was a heavy gold bar.

Old Eagle was speechless and slapped the gold bar into Chen Anran's hand: "I give up. How did you know Ye Xiaowu would come back?"

Chen Anran took the gold bar and left, saying, "Women's intuition."

That's it?

The eagle was puzzled.

It was like that just now, and it’s only been a few minutes, and he’s back again?

I carried it back on my back.

I don’t know whether it is Ye Xiaowu who is useless or the boss who is useless. It is difficult to judge for the moment.

……

After entering the room, Xiao Yan put her down, took off the backpack on her shoulders, and threw them there together with the dirty suitcase.

I held her arm and looked around her. There was no large amount of mud or water on her body, which meant she didn't fall.

Xiao Yan asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll get it. You go take a shower and change clothes first."

Ye Xiaowu hugged him tightly, "I, what I just said is true."

Xiao Yan rubbed the back of her head with his big hands, bent down and kissed her forehead, and said in a hoarse voice: "Well, I know."

He remembered something and pushed her away slightly.

He held her left hand and put the Buddhist beads back on her left wrist.

She was about to pick it, but Xiao Yan frowned: "How dare you pick it."

She complained, "Yueyue wore that too."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment before he realized who Yueyue was. He curled his lips playfully and said, "I don't even remember. Do you remember? She didn't wear this necklace."

"really not?"

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her steadily, then pulled her wrist and held her in his arms, chuckling softly: "Ye Xiaogou, you opened a vinegar factory, right?"

Why don't you call me Yan Haoyue anymore? I was still calling her Yan Haoyue when we were arguing just now.

Ye Xiaowu curled his lips and said, "I learned it from you."

If you don't learn the good things, you will only learn the bad things, right?

Xiao Yan lifted her up and suddenly felt weightless. Ye Xiaowu quickly put her hands on his shoulders and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I see you're not hungry, take a shower first."

He carried her into the bathroom with one arm and stripped her wet clothes with the other.

Ye Xiaowu's ears felt hot and he lowered his head to look at him.

There were still wet raindrops on his sharp and unruly eyebrows. The left wrist with Buddhist beads was wrapped around the back of his neck, and the free right hand fingertips fell on his face to wipe away the raindrops for him.

Very slight and itchy.

When their eyes met again, the atmosphere suddenly became hot and sticky. It was hard to tell who took the initiative first, and they kissed almost as a matter of course.

Ye Xiaowu held his face with his right hand, and caressed his earlobes and neck with his soft fingertips, gently teasing for a while, and the two kissed deeper and harder.

Xiao Yan grabbed the slender white hand and moved it down along the side of his neck to the button of his shirt.

Without further ado, Ye Xiaowu naturally went to help him unbutton his shirt and quietly reminded him, "I haven't eaten yet."

Will he make me dizzy?

This person has really good physical strength.

Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with banditry, and he pushed her against the wall and kissed her: "I let you go to eat just now, who told you to carry me up here?"

Ye Xiaowu urged him: "Then hurry up."

quick?

There's no such thing as urging a man to be quick.

Xiao Yan threw away her clothes and bit her lip: "It won't be fast."

"..."

"Ye puppy."

"Ok?"

His possessiveness took over: "Who is better, me or the pretty boy?"

He knew clearly that nothing had happened between her and Qin Rui, but he still asked this deliberately.

Terrible as hell.

The round, pink toes wrapped around his waist tensed up, and she said in a trembling voice, "Hello."

The pretty boy can't compare to him.

"Who am I?"

"Xiao Yan..."
