But Shen Yi said that He Qingyun didn’t like him. How could someone like another, yet have their gaze filled with hatred?
At that time, she really wanted to tell Shen Yi that it might be a case of "love turned to hate," but under Shen Yi’s gaze, she didn’t dare to say it.
Ye Wanwan maintained a stoic face as she locked eyes with the smiling He Qingyun for a dozen seconds before finally averting her gaze and turning to leave.
However, just as Ye Wanwan had taken only two steps, she heard He Qingyun leisurely say, "I haven’t thanked you for what happened last time."
Ye Wanwan stopped and turned back to look at He Qingyun, somewhat baffled. He Qingyun was thanking her?
Thanking her for what?
Seeing Ye Wanwan turn around, He Qingyun smiled even more brightly and then earnestly said, "Thank Shen Yi for me, thank him for the pressure he put on He Corporation recently, causing it quite the setback."
"You have no idea. He Jiancheng and Liu Yunzhi were so angry, especially Liu Yunzhi—it seems she even fell ill because of it."
"And that brat He Jiayi just got released a few days ago and has been much more subdued."
As she spoke, the smile on He Qingyun’s face grew even more brilliant, as if she were telling some hilariously cold joke. It made no one laugh but herself.
However, Ye Wanwan only felt goosebumps all over her body. She herself called her parents by their names, but to speak so cheerfully about her own mother falling ill was beyond her.
And now here she was, thanking her, saying it was to express gratitude to Shen Yi for crushing He Corporation!
Didn’t she bear the He surname? Wasn’t He Corporation her family’s business?
Ye Wanwan found it unbelievable. Or could it be that He Qingyun bore a grudge against her own family, which was why she could say such things?
He Qingyun didn’t miss the astonishment on Ye Wanwan’s face. She smiled, lips curling up in a generous manner as she continued, "Seeing how effective Shen Yi has been, let’s allow you two to enjoy yourselves for a while."
Ye Wanwan’s brows knitted tightly, and she cursed through clenched teeth, "Crazy!"
After insulting her, Ye Wanwan turned and left without looking back.
He Qingyun wasn’t angry and still smiled, watching Ye Wanwan’s retreating figure with a burning gaze that could make someone unaware think she had feelings for Ye Wanwan!
Ye Wanwan dismissed it as an unpleasant little interlude and once she got home, she put He Qingyun out of her mind.
When Shen Yi arrived in D Country, it was after nine in the evening, while it was already three in the morning back home.
But on the car ride back to his apartment, Shen Yi still sent Ye Wanwan a message to let her know he was safe, not expecting that Ye Wanwan hadn’t gone to bed yet. As soon as Shen Yi put down his phone, he heard the "ding-dong" of a notification.
Picking up his phone, it was a reply from Ye Wanwan, so Shen Yi immediately made a video call to her.
When the video connected, Ye Wanwan’s side was somewhat blurry, as only a small lamp was lit in the room.
Ye Wanwan rubbed her eyes and asked groggily, "Did you get off the plane?"
"Yeah, I’m already on the way back to the apartment," explained Shen Yi, seeing her drowsy appearance and knowing she must be sleepy.
Shen Yi didn’t intend to prolong the conversation, "I’ll be there soon. It’s very late, you should sleep."
"Okay," Ye Wanwan nodded and couldn’t help but yawn.
Indeed, Ye Wanwan was sleepy, and even if she didn’t want to admit it, she had to; she had stayed up so late just to wait for Shen Yi’s message.
