After being teased by Ji Yueze for a while, the man finally walked into the bathroom in satisfaction. Bai Yiyan"s tightened breath finally relaxed.
She sneakily walked in front of Ji Yueze"s two bedside tables, opened the drawer and took a look. She didn"t put it in here. She frowned as she imagined where Ji Yueze might be hiding.
Would it be in his cloakroom? Bai Yiyan slipped back into the cloakroom and opened quite a few drawers to take a look, but there was no sign of her cell phone.
"No way, did you throw it away?" Bai Yiyan had a confused expression on her face.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a faint voice came from behind her. "What are you looking for?"
Bai Yiyan was shocked. She turned around and saw that the man was wearing only a white bath towel with water dripping from his short hair.
"No ??." "It"s nothing!" Bai Yiyan clenched her fists nervously, her beautiful eyes flas.h.i.+ng wildly.
Ji Yueze took a towel and wiped off the water droplets on Jun"s face. His dark eyes narrowed, "Are you looking for your phone?"
Bai Yiyan"s heart skipped a beat. No way, is this man a G.o.d? To think that even this could be guessed correctly, admitting defeat!
"Yes, can you return it to me now?" Bai Yiyan could only admit that she had been seen through.
Ji Yueze walked step by step in front of her. It was unknown whether his handsome face was stained with water drops or not, but it made people feel cold.
"Do you have news of your aunt?" A light flashed across Ji Yueze"s eyes as he stared at her.
Bai Yiyan bit her lower lip and shook her head. "No, I just wanted to see if she would send me any messages!"
Hearing her words, Ji Yueze turned around and walked towards his study.
Bai Yiyan pressed down on her chest. She couldn"t go up or down, so her face turned red. After hesitating for a second, she followed him.
In Ji Yueze"s study, there was a safe. The man stood in front of it and his fingers quickly typed in a bunch of codes. The door of the safe opened and Ji Yueze took out two phones and put them on the table.
"Can I really look?" Bai Yiyan couldn"t believe it. He actually gave it back to her so easily.
"As long as you promise, you won"t lie to me anymore. You can keep the secret between us forever." The man"s voice was very soft, giving off a feeling of sincere trust.
Bai Yiyan froze for a moment. She held the phone in her hand and suddenly put it down again. "Forget it. You should keep the phone. That way, you can feel more at ease!"
"Weren"t you looking for them?" Seeing her pick it up and put it down, Ji Yueze"s eyes darkened.
Bai Yiyan looked tenderly into his eyes. "I was looking for him, but now I don"t want to!"
"If you have your aunt"s whereabouts, tell me back, right?" Ji Yueze"s voice was low and hoa.r.s.e, making people unable to bear to go against him.
Bai Yiyan"s heart was thumping non-stop.
She had just seen her aunt outside the residential complex. Should she tell him?
But what if he was mistaken?
Yes, I must be seeing things. That can"t be my aunt"s. She knows that the country is very dangerous, so it"s impossible for her to come back.
"I don"t know where she is right now. I also want to find her as soon as possible." Bai Yiyan sighed softly. Thinking about how long her aunt had been missing for, she felt uneasy.
Ji Yueze walked in front of her and lightly lifted her fair chin: "You"ve gotten ski
ier recently!"
Bai Yiyan held her breath, unmoving as she let his fingers rub against her chin.
"It"s really hard for you!" Ji Yueze still felt sorry for her. He never felt any warmth since he was young, and now, he had to be afraid for his family.
Bai Yiyan thought she was very strong, but once she was cared for by him, she was so weak that she seemed to be on the verge of tears.
"Go take a bath, rest early!" Ji Yueze didn"t want to make her cry, so when he saw her tearful eyes, his heart was in chaos.
Bai Yiyan acknowledged him and hurried to the bathroom. However, under the flowing water, her chest still felt stuffy and her eyes were burning.
The next morning, Bai Yiyan originally wanted to go to the company with Ji Yueze, but on the way, she suddenly thought of something and lied to Ji Yueze that she left something at her house and needed to go back to get it.
Ji Yueze had a lot of work to do, so he lent the car to her and told her to go home and get it.
Bai Yiyan drove back to her old home. When she was about to reach the elevator, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her name very softly.
Bai Yiyan"s whole body trembled. She turned around and saw her aunt hiding in a corner, waving at her.
Bai Yiyan didn"t dare to admit it. In the past, her aunt paid most attention to her appearance, but now, she had obviously aged a lot. Furthermore, her face no longer had any makeup on, and her skin was severely sunken.
"Aunt!" The moment Bai Yiyan opened her mouth, tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"Xiao Yan, is your hand ready?" Bai Zhenzhen suddenly walked over, anxious to check her injured left hand.
Bai Yiyan let her look at him. She looked at her aunt with a pained and sad expression and choked with sobs, "Last night, did you go to the entrance of Ji Yueze"s district? I see you! "
"Yes, I went. I originally wanted to wait for you at the entrance of the district, but unfortunately, for the next few days, you went in and out with Ji Yueze, so I didn"t have the chance to stop you. However, I knew that you saw me yesterday, so I came here early in the morning to wait for you!" Bai Zhenzhen smiled bitterly.
"Aunt, come sit at home and chat!" Bai Yiyan quickly took her back to her own little house.
Bai Zhenzhen was finally relieved. She collapsed on the sofa, exhausted.
"The days of ru
ing for my life are not easy. I am going to die of exhaustion!" Bai Zhenzhen heaved a sigh of relief. She really wanted to sit here and take a nap to ease the tension in her scalp.
Bai Yiyan poured her a gla.s.s of water and then asked, "Aunt, do you want to eat something? Are you hungry?"
"Is there anything to eat? I"m really a little hungry now! " Bai Zhenzhen sat up.
"I"ll go downstairs and buy you something to eat. Wait for me!"
"Alright, you go!" Bai Zhenzhen nodded.
Bai Yiyan quickly took her bag and went out. She anxiously packed a few bags. When she opened the door, she found her aunt asleep on the sofa.
Bai Yiyan"s heart ached as she looked at her aunt"s tired and haggard appearance.
He really didn"t know what had happened to her over the past few days, but she must be very tired.
It was an hour later when Bai Zhenzhen woke up from her sleep. She had been awakened by the ringing of a phone.
Bai Yiyan"s cell phone rang. It was Ji Yueze who called to urge her on.
Bai Yiyan quickly answered, "Ji Yueze, I might be having a meal with my mom at noon. Can I come back to the company in the afternoon?"
Ji Yueze didn"t force her and agreed.
