She was a bit startled and quickly got out of bed, shuffling over in her slippers to open the door, "Where is he?"
The owner hastily pointed outside, "He’s at the front desk. He wanted to come find you, but I told him it was too late and you might be asleep, so he’s been waiting there. Then I came to call you."
The owner of the hotel was truly kind. Even though Ye Ning was just a guest, the owner went out of her way to ensure her safety, which was indeed rare.
Ye Ning looked at her gratefully and followed her toward the front desk.
Lin Yebai—to seek her out at this time, who else could it be but him? After all, in this place, he was the only one who would care about her so much.
But if it really was him, how did he find her? She hadn’t told him where she was staying, had she?
Could it be... he had always known her whereabouts?
A flash of discomfort suddenly struck Ye Ning’s heart!
With a frown furrowing her brow, she made her way to the front desk. Indeed, before she even arrived, she caught sight of a figure sitting there, with his legs spread apart, leaning forward, hands propped on his thighs in a very dominant and imposing posture.
Yet, it was clear that the posture stemmed from extreme fatigue.
"Miss An, this gentleman is looking for you," the owner said just as she noticed the figure and pointed towards him.
Ye Ning stood there and was taken aback!
My God, how could it be him?!!
Similarly, the man sitting there heard the voice and turned his head. Seeing the woman brought out by the owner of the hotel, he indeed recognized her as the one he was looking for. He swept a cold glance at her from beneath his sopping wet hair and stood up from the chair.
"Sir, is she the one you’re looking for?"
"Cancel her room; here is her room fee," he said without any superfluous words, taking a wallet out of his pocket, extracting several soaked RMB notes, and handing them to the owner of the hotel.
The owner was stunned and turned to look at the girl who had followed her, seeing that she too was gaping at the young man. She didn’t know what to do, "Miss An, this..."
Ye Ning opened her mouth, finally coming to her senses, "It’s alright, ma’am. He is my company’s boss. I’ll talk to him." After saying that, she walked over to him.
This truly was a huge surprise. She had thought the person coming for her was Lin Yebai, but she had never expected that it would be this jerk who had abandoned her on the highway not long ago.
So, was his conscience pricking him now? Was he worried something might happen to her, and so he had come back to find her?
Ye Ning walked over and saw him standing there, drenched from head to toe, looking like he had just been fished out of water, utterly disheveled. His eyes conveyed a deep fatigue and a pale complexion. Ultimately, she lowered her tone.
"Why did you come back? And what happened to you?"
That’s right, what was with his drenched appearance? Had there been a downpour on the road?
But he had a car, and even if it rained heavily, he wouldn’t get soaked, right?
Ye Ning was somewhat baffled!
But what about this man?
She wished she hadn’t asked. The question seemed to make his already dreadful complexion even more ghastly, "It’s none of your business. What you need to do now is cancel the room, get in the car and come back with me."
