She remembered the expression on his face when he cornered her against the wall that night, and finally, her hand holding the spoon slowly began to turn white...
After heating up the porridge, she carried it back into the room and found that the Nurse had already left. The La family girl who had finally learned to use the lamp was now kneeling by the bed, keeping watch over the lamp, and also over the man.
Ye Ning saw this, her brow furrowed, and she approached with the bowl of porridge: "The porridge is ready..."
"I’ll do it, you’ve also taken care of him for so long, you should go back and rest well, just leave it to me," she said, the girl looking at her with a face full of sincerity, rising up from the ground.
Ye Ning was taken aback!
Where to go back to? This was where they were staying, where did she want her to go back to?
She suddenly found it somewhat laughable, wanted to clarify, but at this moment, recalling the messy thoughts in her head, she suddenly lost interest, so she simply handed the bowl in her hand into the girl’s palm: "That’s fine, then I’ll leave it to Miss La."
La Chenxi was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, okay, then you go back and rest well!"
Ye Ning smiled, turned around, and left.
When she left, she didn’t even look at the man lying in the bed!
What’s there to look at, after all, she didn’t have anything to do with him...
Stepping out of the small house, it was completely dark outside. Seeing this, she went to the corridor and switched on the only lamp in the courtyard.
The 15-watt vintage light bulb wasn’t very bright, but its orange glow cast a flickering light throughout the courtyard in the gentle cool breeze, creating its own charming scenery. And within such scenery stood a man in a plaid shirt, leaning there and smoking a cigarette.
Ye Ning saw him and approached: "What, planning to sleep in the car tonight?"
The man seemed depressed: "I was planning to go back, but she doesn’t want to."
Ye Ning leaned there as well and casually picked a piece of foxtail grass beside her to fiddle with in her hand: "Of course she doesn’t want to go back. She can’t wait to live here."
Hearing this, the smoking man got even more irritated and took another agitated drag: "Had I known, I wouldn’t have told her!"
"Then why did you tell her?"
"I was thinking, after all, she’s the third young master’s girlfriend, and she’s been looking for him all along, so I gave her a heads-up."
Ye Ning held the piece of wild grass, looked at him for a long time, then stiffly asked, "Is Miss La the third young master’s girlfriend?"
Secretary Gao nodded: "Actually, it should be ex-girlfriend. Before, the third young master and Miss La went to the same school, Miss La was a grade higher than him, and they met in school. They had a good relationship."
Secretary Gao also only heard about his boss’s scandal occasionally when the president and a few of his close friends were at a gathering, and he happened to overhear it while standing to the side. He wasn’t very clear about the actual situation.
So, at this moment, what he said was just casually mentioned.
But after hearing this, Ye Ning felt as if the sliver of hope she had been holding onto had suddenly sunk to the bottom of the valley, her entire body turning cold.
So she was the ex-girlfriend, that made sense, she had thought so. Sometimes the way she spoke didn’t seem like what a mere friend would say.
She remembered when they first met, how that woman had wanted to buy her a dress and the man’s reaction after entering...
