Chapter 262
"Brother Lin, is Xiaobao with you?" Ye Ning tried to keep her voice calm, and to act as if nothing had happened.
When Lin Yebai heard this, he got so excited that he stood up: "Yes, I’ve picked him up. Aning, where are you? I called you many times, but you didn’t answer, and there was no one at the apartment? Are you still at the company?"
He was indeed very eager, as if he couldn’t wait to be by her side immediately.
He called many times?
Ye Ning remembered that her phone had no signal earlier, so she naturally responded, "My phone had no signal, I didn’t hear your calls. Brother Lin, I’m still at the factory. We have a big shipment coming up and it’s really busy here."
The factory?
Was she still at the factory?
Like a reflex, Lin Yebai went to grab his keys from the desk, ready to leave.
However, over the phone, after the girl finished speaking, she quickly added another sentence: "Brother Lin, I might stay here tonight. There’s a problem with a product, and we need to work overtime."
"What? You’re going to stay there?"
"Yes, after overtime, it’ll probably be around midnight, so I won’t be going back. Besides, Xiaobao is with you, don’t worry. There are staff dormitories here, it’s very safe." Ye Ning added this specifically to reassure him.
Hearing this, the man who had walked to the door of Tang Garden finally stopped in his tracks.
She was going to stay there? To work overtime for that man’s factory?
Why didn’t he believe her words?
But what could he do if he didn’t believe her? Since she had said those words, it meant she didn’t want to come back. So where was her real destination?
Could it be that she was with that man?
Standing there, holding his phone and staring at the twinkling stars above him, it took him a very long time before he weakly put the phone down...
What was this feeling?
Betrayal? noveldrama
Actually, not really. She hadn’t done anything wrong, so how could it be betrayal? If anything, his actions today had contributed to the gap between them.
But wasn’t her purpose in coming back to take revenge? He had simply helped her after learning of her plans, what was wrong with that?
Could it be that she had truly developed feelings for that man?
No, that couldn’t be possible. That man was her enemy’s man!
He clenched his phone tightly, feeling a sort of unease he had never experienced before...
Just then, behind him, a small figure came out holding a fruit plate. Seeing uncle standing there, the little figure called out in a child’s voice, "Uncle Lin, are you going out?"
It was Xiaobao!
Lin Yebai turned around and saw the child standing in the light, holding a plate, looking carved out of pink jade, and suddenly, his eyes fell on the child’s delicate but very exquisite features.
He really looked like her, his facial features resembled his mother’s original appearance, but his eyebrows and temperament were exactly like his father’s.
Handsome, aloof, noble...
Even the way he held himself was exactly the same.
That’s right, he had forgotten, there was this connection between them...
Finally, Lin Yebai’s pupils shrank sharply, and he crouched down in front of the child: "Xiaobao, can you tell uncle about the time you went to that uncle’s apartment?"
