968: An Open Pursuit

An Open Pursuit

"You're leaving now, Sis-in-law." The man's voice was warm and ethereal as it spread over with the wind. 1

Ye Shengge nodded and said, "Do you want to return to Yang City with us?"

She then asked for Qiao Yanze's opinion.

However, Xiao Ruilang refused before Qiao Yanze could answer.

"No need. I still have something to do here." He smirked and asked, "Can't bear to part with me, Shengge?"

Ye Shengge said coldly, "You're overthinking."

This guy was a classic example of taking a mile when given an inch.

Xiao Ruilang smiled and waved at her. "Goodbye."

He still sounded lazy, but not frivolous. In fact, he sounded serious and gentle.

Ye Shengge felt strange, but she was more relieved. That man had tried to talk to her gently and affectionately many times, but this time, it was different.

Perhaps he had finally let go of his obsession, and he wouldn't oppose them anymore.

She looked at him and said, "Goodbye."

She then followed Qiao Yanze into the car.

Qiao Yanze glanced at Xiao Ruilang who was still standing there and raised an eyebrow. "Why would he want to send you here?"

"It's probably because I didn't lose my memory. There's no point in him keeping me around," Ye Shengge said. She looked at the time and the gaze in her eyes turned dim. "I missed it after all."

It was the kids' birthday party.

Qiao Yanze said, "The kids' birthday party has been canceled, but they don't mind. Grandpa said he'll give it to them when you and Shiting are around."

Ye Shengge nodded, still upset at the thought of Shiting.

She blinked and looked at the night outside the car window, and her eyes heated up.

All she wanted was for him to live well.

…

Xiao Ruilang watched the car drive away and remained in place without moving.

Gu Yimo hadn't left yet. She said, "Hey, Shengge isn't someone you can covet!"

Xiao Ruilang turned around and looked at him. He smiled and said, "Covet? I'm pursuing her openly."

Gu Yimo was furious. "You're so shameless! How dare you take advantage of the situation!?"

"Take advantage?" Xiao Ruilang snorted, thinking that Ye Shengge had never given him a chance.

He took out a cigarette box and lighter from his jacket pocket, lit one up, and threw the cigarette box and lighter to Gu Yimo.

Gu Yimo took it and said, "I don't smoke. I'm talking about serious stuff!"

"What's the most important thing in your life?" Xiao Ruilang suddenly asked.

Gu Yimo said without hesitation, "Of course it's for research. I'll be happier the more results I get."

"Very good." Xiao Ruilang looked at the empty street and finally opened the door of the car to get inside.

Life is long and boring. It is difficult to find something interesting…

Gu Yimo watched Xiao Ruilang get into the car and mumbled, "What a strange person…"

He looked at the cigarette box and lighter in his hand, thought for a bit, took out one and lit it up, but he choked.

…

It was already five in the morning when Ye Shengge arrived at Qianfan Villa.

Grandpa Ji and the two kids were asleep, but Li Yinian was still waiting on the sofa. She was pleasantly surprised to see Ye Shengge and Qiao Yanze walking in.
