C1665 Wealthy Marriage 1592
Ye Nianmo pondered for a few minutes, then placed the document in front of her, "Have you decided?"
"Yes." she said confidently.
Ye Family decided to conceal the true identity of this child, so he couldn't let others know that Ding Yiyi was pregnant. She had to leave the Dongjiang City during her pregnancy.
Ye Nianmo had selected two countries for Ding Yiyi, Japan and Britain, for her to choose from, but Ding Yiyi insisted on going to the countryside. After discussing it, Ye Family bought a house in another tourist town, known as the ancient city, near the Dongjiang City, and arranged for servants to serve her.
Other than choosing his address, everything else was obediently accepted by Ding Yiyi.
The day they left was night, and the night sky, which was nearing autumn, was already rather damp. The entire Ye Family up and down in a solemn manner.
Ye Nianmo could not leave Dongjiang City. He embraced Ding Yiyi, and kissed her forehead, "I will come and see you."
"For the sake of safety, I think it's better not to. I'll be fine." Ding Yiyi smiled reluctantly.
He just held her hand and repeated firmly, "Wait for me."
She could no longer pretend to be carefree. She choked and nodded. "Alright."
The two speeding cars cut through the night and headed off into the distance.
In an ancient town about 3000 km away from the Dongjiang City in Z city, the end of summer was indeed the off-peak season in the ancient town, and there were almost no people there. Most of the local residents knew each other, and for the past two days, they had been discussing about moving people to a mansion outside the ancient town.
The mansion had been there for several years, and many tourists wanted to go there to take pictures, so everyone treated the mansion as one of the attractions.
Not long ago, that mansion began to be closed off, and the security cameras in front of the doors also began to move. Occasionally, they would see cars coming and going, but they did not see anyone who looked like their master.
In the evening, the town would be decorated with red lanterns. Looking from afar, it looked very festive. The two foreign tourists walked along the mountain road to the front door of the mansion.
"Hurry up and take my picture. This place is so beautiful." The woman smiled as she got into position.
The boy fiddled with the camera in his hand and took a few steps back. He wanted to light up the mansion behind him, but he saw a woman in the interface.
She was standing by the window with a book in her hands. She looked at the book under the light of the lamp behind her. Occasionally, her hair would fall onto her chest.
"What are you looking at!" The girl made a pose and did not see her boyfriend's actions for a long time, so she pouted.
The boy gestured for her to look up, and the girl followed his gaze and saw the woman.
"Beautiful!" The girl's voice disturbed the people who were reading by the bed. She quickly entered the room and closed the curtain. Not long later, the curtain was pulled tightly shut.
In the luxurious room, Ding Yiyi put down the book and sat blankly on the bed. Her hand unconsciously touched her stomach again. "Darling, mom loves you so much. I owe you, mom will pay you back double."
She got up and went downstairs. As soon as she went down the stairs, the servant turned off the TV.
"What's wrong?" She smiled. Here, she let the servant eat with her, and she could usually sit together and watch TV. The servants all said that she was a good master, but only she knew that she was just afraid of being lonely.
The servant stood up with a restrained expression, "Madam, if you need anything, feel free to tell me."
Ding Yiyi knew they had something to hide, but she didn't mind. She nodded. "It's nothing. Let's do some exercise before bed. The doctor said it's good for the baby, so I'll go to bed first."
She went upstairs and took a few steps before she remembered that she had not asked when the doctor for the obstetric examination would be arriving tomorrow. She did not like to be kept waiting and felt it was impolite.
"By the way …" she said as she walked down, her gaze fixed on the 34-inch LCD TV.
On the TV, a famous singer stood next to Ye Nianmo. The female singer held his arm warmly and the two of them put their palms together on a crystal ball. It looked like a new product presentation. The surroundings were bustling with noise and excitement.
"Young Mistress!" The servant was shocked. The remote control in his hand fell to the ground with another thud.
Ding Yiyi walked to the side of the sofa, and the servants quickly gave way to her. She sat on the sofa and focused on watching the TV.
She only stood up again after the news regarding Ye Group had finished broadcasted. She then walked up the stairs.
"Madam, the Young Master must have been too busy recently, so he didn't come to see you." One of the servants said carefully.
Ding Yiyi stopped and smiled back at her. She nodded lightly and went upstairs.
Back in her room, she picked up her phone again and typed in the news title she had just seen. The page popped up and she watched the news with full attention.
In the video, he was still not smiling, but he was in a gentleman's mood looking out for the female celebrities beside him. When the wind blew, he tilted his body slightly to help the female celebrities block the wind.
Her hand traced his face, her thoughts too strong to ignore, manipulating her thoughts, pressing the number she remembered in her heart.
The call was answered by Ye Bo. He politely indicated to Ye Nianmo that it wasn't convenient for him to answer the phone right now, so he would call her back at a convenient time.
Ding Yiyi waited and waited. The time went from ten to eleven, and then it was early in the morning. The lanterns in the old town seemed to have lost their color, and she was still waiting.
Early in the morning, the rain had dampened her book on the windowsill and woken her. She opened her eyes, looking hazy, and saw that there was a missed call.
It was him! She called back excitedly, but it was Ye Bo again. He told her that her young master was in a meeting right now.
She missed him again. Ding Yiyi walked to the window, the cold rain wetting her arms. "It's almost autumn."
Ye Nianmo became busier and busier. He was so busy that Xia Yihan even called her to explain things to stop her from thinking too much. Meanwhile, Ding Yiyi got used to watching him on TV, watching the women beside him one after another.
She did not have a friend, and could not speak a single word to anyone throughout the entire day. She could not go out either, because she was the wife of Ye Family, and had a child in her womb that was announced to be adopted by Ye Family six months later.
She became depressed, and one day she heard a servant call the housekeeper. "I have always felt that Madame was in a bad mood. Do you need Young Master to come and see her?"
Ding Yiyi was very grateful to the servant. She expressed the desire in her heart, but after that phone call, Ye Nianmo still hadn't appeared.
A week? Ten days? Ding Yiyi didn't know how long she had been in this ancient town. The servants had taken good care of her, but she was getting more and more irascible.
The doctor explained that this was a mood swings that many pregnant women had, but she could not be persuaded by this reason. She started to continuously call Ye Nianmo, but every time the phone rang, she would immediately hang up and burst into tears.
That afternoon, the rain finally stopped in the old town. There weren't many tourists on the road, and only a few locals were offering sacrifices.
On the second of every month, the locals of Old Town would set up a table in front of their house. On the table was a piece of red paper, and on the red paper was a whole chicken, a whole piece of fried pork, with some apples or sentences, and three joss sticks stuck in three bowls of rice wire.
Every time this happened, Ding Yiyi would always sit at the highest spot, watching them from afar. What were they praying for? Or was it just a habitual prayer that he wasn't thinking about at all?
Her thoughts drifted to the sacrificial offering and then to the inexplicable, until she saw someone. The man in black who had appeared on the island and was trying to get him to leave.
He stood beside a sacrificial altar and looked at the villa. There was a distance of several hundred meters between them, but Ding Yiyi had a feeling that he was looking at her.
The man was still wearing his mask as before, completely ignoring the curious gazes of the surrounding people. Suddenly, he turned around and slowly walked towards a bridge in the ancient town.
Ding Yiyi did not believe that he had come here by chance. She quickly put on her mask, grabbed a coat with a hat, pulled it over her head, and hurried downstairs.
"Madam!" "Please be careful!" When the servants saw her quickly running down the stairs, they hastily gathered at the foot of the stairs in fear. They watched her attentively, afraid that she would fall down without a care in the world.
"I'm going out for a bit." Ding Yiyi put on her sunglasses. After making sure that no one would notice her appearance, she left the room.
One of the servants hurriedly chased after her, "Madam, please wait for me."
Ding Yiyi walked out of the door and headed in the direction she had seen earlier. Since it was a festival, it was much busier than usual.
A horn sounded behind her, and the servant called out to her, "Ma'am, there's still some distance to go to the town."
She got into the car. "Take me there." He pointed at the spot where the man had disappeared.1
It was only ten minutes to the crossroads, and since there were so many people, they had to walk.
Ding Yiyi walked purposefully towards the place she saw a moment ago. When she arrived, she asked her master, who was kneeling on the ground, "Hello, I saw a man standing beside this table. Is he your relative?"
Receiving a negative answer, Ding Yiyi forgot the direction the man left and found him standing at the end of the bridge.
"Madam, where are you going? Wait for me." The servant didn't dare call out to her, so he had to shout through the crowd.
At this moment, a man who should have passed by her, knocked her down. The man hurriedly apologized and left.
The servant looked at his back and felt strange. He felt in his pocket and saw that the car he had just driven over was gone. This was a huge matter, he had to pay for the loss of the car! She hurried after the man.
Ding Yiyi walked quickly and steadily. Despite the slippery surface of the road, she gradually quickened her pace.
The man turned around as soon as she got on the bridge and stared at her.
Did he really lured me here!? Ding Yiyi looked around but didn't see anyone else. The man was standing in the middle of the bridge, his tall figure standing out in the air.
"Are you all right?" The other party spoke first, his sharp eyes fixated on her abdomen.
Ding Yiyi even had the feeling that the man in front of her knew that she was pregnant.
"Why are you here?" she asked instead of answering.
The man nodded and looked away from her belly. "Will you come with me?"
It was as if she had heard a fantasy. Her face was filled with disbelief. "What are you talking about!"
What a mysterious man. She started to regret running out so recklessly, and since she had no desire to continue exploring, she turned around.
