C15

Following the receptionist's line of sight, Dong Xiaoxiao saw Hua Yuzhen from afar yesterday.

Yesterday, she was dressed in casual clothes and was a very pure neighbor. Now, she was wearing a suit and her long hair was neatly tied up. There was an additional calmness to her, making her beautiful face even more dazzling.

The other side turned and the front desk girl hurriedly walked forward: "Vice President, that person said that he wants to see you. He has something that he is interested in and wants to talk to you about, but she did not make an appointment. I was just about to ask for your opinion."

Hua Yuzhen nodded and walked towards Dong Xiaoxiao with a smile. She stopped three steps away from her and asked, "I'm Hua Yuzhen. Why is this lady looking for me?"

"I'm Dong Xiaoxiao. I'd like to talk to you alone about this." Dong Xiaoxiao cast a glance at the few men beside her.

Hua Yuzhen and a few other people behind her all looked a little dissatisfied. On the other hand, Hua Yuzhen herself still had her gentle smile, and did not seem to have any negative emotions.

"Must you say it alone?"

"Yes."

"Then wait for me for two hours, I have a meeting to attend."

Dong Xiaoxiao was not lacking in patience. She nodded with a smile and said, "Vice President Hua, feel free to go back to work."

"Alright." She then looked at the Miss in front of her, "Bring Miss Dong to my office's resting area."

The front desk girl answered and walked away.

Dong Xiaoxiao followed the receptionist to the elevator and arrived. The receptionist made a cup of tea for her and left.

Hua Yanzhen's office was in the upper level, so there were almost no people there. She was the only one in the lounge, which made Dong Xiaoxiao relax a little.

"What are you going to talk to him about later?" she asked, sipping her tea.

Ye Hanyi coughed, "What can I ask? Ask her if she knows me."

"Why do I hear that you're feeling a little guilty?" Dong Xiaoxiao teased, "Don't think that I didn't notice something was wrong when you saw Huayu Zhen. You've been thinking about her ever since. The text message she sent you was also very intimate. Are the two of you related?"

Dong Xiaoxiao's words completely stabbed Ye Hanyi's heart. He hurriedly tried to defend himself, "No way, I really care about the clues regarding my identity!"

"I didn't expect you to be shy." Dong Xiaoxiao smiled even wider. Ye Hanyi couldn't win against her, so he had no choice but to follow her.

The two of them chatted for a while, and time passed quickly. Two hours later, Hua Yuzhen's figure appeared at the entrance of the lounge.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." She smiled as she walked into the lounge and picked up a cup of coffee. "It's just the two of us," she said.

Dong Xiaoxiao changed from her sloppy sitting posture and put down her teacup. She said seriously, "Vice-CEO Hua, do you still remember the phone call that day asking you if you knew who Hanyi was?"

Hearing that, Hua Yuzhen's movements paused for a moment.

"Looks like Vice-CEO Hua remembers." Dong Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. "I'm the one who picked up the phone."

Hua Yuzhen turned to look at her with a cold expression, "I said, I don't know anything about Han Yi. I don't know how you got here, but you won't get anything from me, please go back."

Hua Yuzhen seemed to view her as someone who wanted to blackmail her, which made Dong Xiaoxiao suspicious.

If it was like she said yesterday, she had nothing to do with Ye Hanyi's disappearance. Then why not admit that she knew Ye Hanyi, and worry that she would use him to harm her?

It's possible that Hua Yuzhen did something shameful.

After a long period of contemplation, Dong Xiao Xiao Xiao laughed innocently: "Vice President Hua, don't worry, I have no ill intentions. In fact, after you hung up the phone, I went to the Cloud Sky Tower mentioned in the text, and coincidentally came across you arguing with another person. Although it was very rude, I heard that your conversation had something to do with Ye Hanyi, so I couldn't help but eavesdrop in and find out that you know him."

"But why do you pretend not to know him?"

Huayu frowned. "You followed me?"

"No, hearing your conversation and knowing your identity was only a coincidence." Dong Xiaoxiao's innocent expression was impeccable.

"Alright, since you know, then I won't hide it from you." Hua Yuzhen squinted her eyes with a sorrowful look, "Ye Hanyi was once my fiance."

Dong Xiaoxiao and Ye Hanyi were shocked by his words.

Both of them knew that Hua Yuzhen and Ye Hanyi might have a close relationship, but they never thought that they would be so close.

Hua Yuzhen sat across from Dong Xiaoxiao with a coffee cup in her hand, and said slowly.

"Hanyi and I were childhood friends, and we naturally got engaged when we grew up. The day he disappeared was the day before our wedding. I invited him to the Cloud Sky Tower to prepare for the wedding banquet, but I didn't think that …"

Saying this, her voice became choked with emotion, "He didn't come that day, so I didn't see him again and didn't get any news about him. At the beginning, I thought he wanted to break the engagement and crazily search for his whereabouts, but after a long time, I didn't want to know anything about him."

"Why?"

"You don't know how much pain people who love each other feel when they have no news, do you?" Hua Yuzhen smiled wryly, "Sometimes, the best news is that there's no news, isn't it?"

As she spoke, her eyes moistened.

Dong Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment. Her heart was aching. She knew that this was not her own emotions, but Ye Hanyi's.

"Do you want to talk to her?" she asked silently.

Ye Hanyi naturally needed it. When he spoke again, his body had already changed masters.

"I'm sorry." His voice was low.

Huayu Zhen shook her head. Ye Hanyi handed her a piece of paper, and she silently wiped away her tears.

The two of them sat facing each other in silence for a moment. During this time, Ye Hanyi looked at Hua Yuzhen with a complicated expression, who was just a few steps away from the tea table.

Dong Xiaoxiao could feel that more than once, he wanted to embrace this fragile woman in his arms.

It was normal for them to react like this when they knew each other had been lovers, but something didn't feel right about Dong Xiaoxiao.

She could not tell what was wrong, and quickly put this complicated emotion behind her.

At this time, Hua Yuzhen, whose mood had calmed down, broke the silence. She blinked her red eyes and said with a smile, "Sorry, I let you down."

"Nothing." Ye Hanyi shook his head.

Hua Yuzhen took a sip of her coffee, and her tone returned to normal, "This is why I don't want to mention Han Yi. You heard the suspicions Le Xiao had towards me that day, right? His speculations are really annoying."

"So you really don't know anything about Ye Hanyi's disappearance?"

"Yes." Hua Yuzhen stood up and walked out of the resting room. Without looking back, she said, "You already understand the situation, so don't come looking for me again."

Ye Hanyi looked at her with a complicated expression. He waited until her figure disappeared from his sight before closing his eyes and withdrawing his body.

Dong Xiaoxiao, who had regained control of her body, didn't know what to say. The two of them left the Hua Group in silence.

On the way, Dong Xiaoxiao received a call from Vincent.
