Hearing Chen Siyan mention Ding Yutong, Yang Chen’s mind immediately pictured that elegant, intellectual woman. She was indeed kind and had helped Chen Siyan a lot.
"Then let’s wait until the afternoon!" Yang Chen said.
Yang Chen had nothing else to do, so he stayed at the kindergarten.
In the villa at Emperor Garden.
Ye Xin sat in front of the computer, on the other side of the camera was Sun Yue.
"No news yet?" Ye Xin asked, her face full of concern.
Sun Yue shook her head, "The professor hasn’t received any information, and we haven’t either."
This only made Ye Xin more worried.
"Could they not have reported back to the higher-ups?" Ye Xin murmured to herself.
Seeing Ye Xin’s worried expression, Sun Yue couldn’t help but ask, "Ye Xin... who exactly are those two people?"
She was referring to Shangxi and Shangxi.
Ye Xin’s face darkened, and she rebuked, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!"
"I’m sorry!" Sun Yue quickly replied.
Their organization had rules; as an agent, you must strictly adhere to principles, not asking what shouldn’t be asked and not saying what shouldn’t be said.
Ye Xin sighed and said to Sun Yue, "Knowing these things will only cause you trouble, so it’s better if you don’t know!"
Sun Yue was assigned to Ye Xin after she returned to the country.
As a secret agent, your identity must be kept highly confidential, so Ye Xin’s partners were often changed. Ye Xin didn’t have much emotion towards her partners.
But after several interactions, Ye Xin’s attitude towards Sun Yue had changed significantly.
At least, Sun Yue was loyal to her.
Sun Yue understood what Ye Xin meant, nodded deeply, and didn’t say more.
"What’s the mission this time?" Ye Xin asked.
Since Ye Xin hadn’t reported her physical condition, the higher-ups had begun to assign her tasks again.
Sun Yue worriedly said, "Ye Xin, your health..."
"It’s fine!" Ye Xin said solemnly, "As long as I can be with Yang Chen, I can handle these conditions!"
"But..." Sun Yue’s face was full of worry.
"There’s no ’but,’ just tell me about the mission!" Ye Xin said sternly.
Sun Yue sighed helplessly, "Alright! But you have to stay rational and carry your medication, just in case!"
"Okay!" Ye Xin nodded.
She was aware of her own situation; she feared that medication was becoming ineffective.
However, thinking there were only three months left, Ye Xin felt she should be able to withstand it.
"The mission target this time is Wu Gensheng, the deputy general manager of Blue Maple Group. The higher-ups suspect his cooperation with foreign Cui’er Garments is to cover up another project for manufacturing delicate chips. Try to gather as much information as possible. As for your identity... I’ve sent it to you, take a look."
Ye Xin glanced at the identity information Sun Yue sent over and said directly, "Design an identity for Yang Chen too, he’s coming with me!"
"Ah?" Sun Yue’s eyes widened, "Yang Chen too? With him... he’s too conspicuous and will be exposed!"
Sun Yue thought of Yang Chen with his arms in slings and broke into a cold sweat.
"It’s fine, just arrange it!" Ye Xin said directly.
Sun Yue was helpless, "Alright!"
She had no choice, after all, Ye Xin was the boss!
Ye Xin organized some documents, then tidied up, got up, and called Yang Chen to confirm where he was before setting out to find him.
Ding Yutong arrived at the kindergarten on time.
Wearing a floral dress and a garden-style hat, she appeared very ladylike, catching people’s eyes.
"Teacher Ding!" Seeing Ding Yutong, Yang Chen greeted her with a smile.
Yang Chen was genuinely grateful to Ding Yutong from the bottom of his heart.
She had no relation to Chen Siyan and yet had always taken care of her.
She had no relation to the children at the kindergarten, yet often came to teach them.
Ding Yutong was truly a good person.
"Yang Chen! You’re discharged?" Ding Yutong asked in surprise.
Yang Chen was puzzled, when had he been in the hospital?
Seeing Yang Chen’s confused face, Ding Yutong asked, "Didn’t you get hospitalized last time after saving Yanyan? Are your injuries all healed now?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen realized that Ding Yutong’s information was still regarding the time he saved Chen Siyan.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I’m fine now."
"That’s good, you don’t know how worried Yanyan was during that time; she cried every day!" Ding Yutong said.
Yang Chen nodded, knowing how worried the little girl had been during that time.
Yang Chen invited Ding Yutong into the office and explained his request.
"Teacher Ding, you should be quite familiar with Sun Xiaoting, right?" Yang Chen asked.
Hearing this question, Ding Yutong was taken aback.
She knew of the matters between Yang Chen and Sun Xiaoting, so Yang Chen bringing it up now puzzled her.
Could it be that Yang Chen wanted to rekindle an old flame? Unable to let go of Sun Xiaoting?
But that couldn’t be right!
Ye Xin was stunningly beautiful, practically unparalleled, and there was no way Sun Xiaoting could compare. Surely Yang Chen could see that.
Besides, from what Ding Yutong could tell, Yang Chen didn’t seem like that kind of person!
"Yes... Tingting and I... we’re best friends, very close." Ding Yutong nodded, admitting.
"That’s great!" Yang Chen looked pleased and smiled, "Then you must know where Xiaoting lives, right?"
On hearing this, Ding Yutong frowned.
She recalled Sun Xiaoting’s decisive rejection and Yang Chen’s somewhat lonely figure.
She understood Sun Xiaoting and knew who she had become. Sun Xiaoting wasn’t suitable for Yang Chen anymore.
After thinking for a while, Ding Yutong took a deep breath, looked up at Yang Chen, and said, "Yang Chen, there are some things I know I shouldn’t say, but I still think it’s best to voice them!"
Yang Chen was a bit surprised, not knowing what Ding Yutong wanted to say, but he gestured for her to continue.
Ding Yutong said, "Yang Chen, sometimes the young love might be simple and sweet, perhaps even beautiful, but it can’t withstand the test of reality!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen slightly frowned.
"I can tell you clearly, Sun Xiaoting didn’t leave you because of someone else she liked, but because she changed! I’ve been her close friend for years, so I know her well. She’s always yearned for a better life, striving for a higher level. So, once she saw she had such an opportunity, she seized it and let go of many things, shielding herself from many things, fearing anything would disturb her current self. Unfortunately, you were abandoned and excluded by her; she didn’t need you, and you couldn’t meet her needs. So you’re not suitable, as she said it clearly back then, although I know those words could hurt, they were her true feelings. Yang Chen, you should see the reality clearly; you have someone as good as Ye Xin by your side, you shouldn’t waste your time on Sun Xiaoting. As her friend, I know her temperament. Honestly, I’m sincerely advising you. These might be words I shouldn’t speak, but as a friend of Yanyan’s, we’ve interacted for so long, I feel it’s necessary to remind you."
Having said this, Ding Yutong anxiously looked at Yang Chen, afraid that he might be angry.
Honestly, these words weren’t hers to say.
Yang Chen finished listening and couldn’t help but chuckle.
"You’re overthinking it." Yang Chen said calmly.
