After his wife left, Mr. Ye, who found the pregnancy test form, cried like crazy
Chapter 961 Don't Be Brave
Hot water was lingering in the small bathroom space. Ning Xi looked at the borrowed underwear in her hand, feeling helpless.
The size is too big, it feels baggy on me, and the straps keep sliding down.
She adjusted it again and again, but it still didn't fit her properly. She couldn't help but worry in her heart that she had to find time to buy the right one tomorrow.
After a simple wash, she walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, her wet hair draped over her shoulders, with water droplets sliding down the ends of her hair and dripping onto the carpet.
While she was wiping her hair, the doorbell suddenly rang. Ning Xi was startled and wondered who it could be at this late hour. Could it be that Xu You had something else to do?
She walked quickly to the door in her slippers and looked out through the peephole.
But he saw Ye Wuyou's tall figure standing quietly outside the door, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.
Ning Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She hurriedly tightened the bath towel again, and only slowly opened the door after making sure that she was wrapped tightly.
Her cheeks flushed with nervousness, and she asked softly, "Dean Ye, it's so late, is there anything wrong?"
Ye Wuyou's gaze lingered on her blushing cheeks for a short moment, then moved away.
He raised his hand to hand over the clothes in his hand, cleared his throat, and there was a subtle unnaturalness in his voice:
"I just remembered that you packed your luggage in a hurry, and I was afraid that you forgot to bring some necessities. I happened to have an extra set... This should be useful to you."
Ning Xi lowered her eyes and saw a brand new set of underwear, the size that she usually wore. Her face instantly felt as hot as a red-hot iron.
She was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but curl up her toes. She stammered and uttered after a long while:
"This... is too much trouble for you. I just borrowed a set from Xu You, but thank you anyway."
Ye Wuyou frowned slightly, a trace of annoyance flashed across his eyes, secretly blaming himself for not considering it carefully and not expecting that she would ask others for help. After a pause, he still insisted:
"Take it. It never hurts to have it ready. If you can't go out to buy it tomorrow, you won't be embarrassed. Besides, Xu You's size doesn't match you, and it won't be comfortable to wear. Don't be stubborn."
Having said that, he stuffed the clothes into Ning Xi's arms without further ado.
Ning Xi hurriedly caught it, feeling the soft texture of the clothes, her heart pounding like thunder. She hurriedly avoided Ye Wuyou's burning gaze and whispered:
"Well...thank you. Go and have some rest. You are exhausted from catching the flight today."
Ye Wuyou looked at her deeply and nodded: "Well, you should go to bed early too. You have a tight schedule tomorrow, so don't stay up late."
After that, he turned around and left.
Ning Xi watched his figure disappear around the corner of the corridor before slowly closing the door. She leaned against the door, took a long breath, and looked down at the clothes in her arms, feeling mixed emotions.
The various encounters of this night were like threads that wove the secret feelings between her and Ye Wuyou into an ever more intricate knot, making her feel both shy and secretly looking forward to what would happen next.
After she calmed down a little, she carefully put away her clothes, dried her hair, and lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The images of Ye Wuyou taking good care of me on the plane and his slightly embarrassed expression when he handed me the underwear flashed through my mind like a kaleidoscope. I fell into a drowsy sleep only when the sky outside the window turned pale.
When she opened her eyes again, the sunlight was shining through the gap in the curtains onto the bed. Ning Xi sat up with a start, checked the time, groaned secretly, and hurriedly washed and packed up. After a simple make-up, she knocked on Xu You's door.
Xu You opened the door sleepily, and seeing Ning Xi's anxious look, he muttered, "What's going on so early in the morning?"
Ning Xi pulled her into the house and said, "Hurry up and pack. We have to go buy some daily necessities while we have free time in the morning. The size of the underwear I borrowed from you last night was really not suitable. I don't want to feel awkward all day."
Xu You suddenly realized it and yawned as he replied, "Okay, wait for me for ten minutes."
The two quickly left the hotel and looked for a suitable shop along the street.
The streets of a foreign country are bustling with people and filled with all kinds of shops.
Finally, they found a lingerie store on the corner of the street. Ning Xi pulled Xu You in quickly. After some selection and trying on, they finally bought clothes that fit them.
Just as she was about to check out and leave, her cell phone rang suddenly. Ning Xi took it out and saw that it was Ye Wuyou calling. She tapped the screen with her fingertips to answer the call, and heard a deep voice coming from the other end:
"Where are you? I waited in the hotel lobby for a while but didn't see anyone. I had an appointment with the people from Hexiang Pharmaceuticals this morning and the time is almost up."
Ning Xi's heart tightened, and she quickly replied, "We are buying something at the corner and will be back soon. I'm really sorry for taking up some time."
After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Xu You outside, secretly regretting his slowness as he ran. He must not let anything go wrong in this first meeting because of him.
The two of them trotted back to the hotel, their hair messed up by the strong wind and beads of sweat oozing out of their foreheads.
Ning Xi saw from afar Ye Wuyou's tall and slender figure standing in the middle of the lobby. He stood straight but could not hide his anxiety. He looked at his watch from time to time.
She rushed forward, panting slightly, her cheeks flushed from running, and said apologetically, "Dean Ye, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Ye Wuyou's originally furrowed brows relaxed slightly the moment he saw her. His eyes quickly swept over her flushed face and slightly messy hair, and the slight displeasure in his heart instantly dissipated.
"It's okay, hurry up, the car is waiting outside."
Xu You followed behind, step by step, secretly glancing at Ye Wuyou, muttering to himself, this dean usually looked calm and indifferent.
How come he becomes a different person when it comes to Ning Xi? His emotions are so obviously revealed. Wow, this is really interesting.
The three of them hurriedly got into the car and sped towards Hexiang Pharmaceutical.
The atmosphere in the car was solemn. Ning Xi calmed her breathing and silently reviewed the project information in her mind, trying to get herself into the state quickly.
Ye Wuyou looked out the window with a stern expression, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
When we arrived at our destination, a modern high-rise building came into view, its glass curtain wall reflecting a cold light under the sun.
As they entered the hall, the receptionist had been waiting for a long time and led them straight to the meeting room.
In the conference room, representatives from Hexiang Pharmaceutical sat on both sides of the long table.
Leading the group was the chairman's son-in-law, named Lin Yue, who was nearly 40 years old, looked smart and capable, and his eyes had the sharpness that only a businessman could have.
He stood up to greet her with a warm smile on his face: "Dean Ye, I have heard of your great name for a long time. You have worked hard on your journey. Please take a seat."
Ye Wuyou nodded slightly, shook hands and exchanged greetings before taking a seat, followed closely by Ning Xi and Xu You.
Both parties briefly introduced their personnel and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then Lin Yue got to the point, raised his hand to signal his assistant to distribute the materials, and said loudly:
"The main reason we invited your hospital to come here is to discuss in depth the subsequent clinical application and promotion of new anti-cancer drugs. Here are the detailed data on the current drug development. Please take a look first."
Ning Xi took the information and her eyes were immediately attracted by the dense data, and she looked focused.
As she flipped through the pages, she sometimes frowned slightly, sometimes tapped the tip of her pen to record key information, and was completely immersed in it.
