Yu Xi hurriedly hailed a taxi and rushed to the Li Garden. Along the way, she was a little anxious, afraid that Yan Chen would get angry because of this. At that time, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.

At this moment, in the Li Garden, there was no light in the room. There was only darkness, and with heavy words, he stood in front of the french window. The moonlight shone through the window, creating a lonely scene as he held a wine cup, lightly sipping the red wine in his cup.

He had actually called for Yu Xi, but no matter what, he didn't want to be alone today. He just wanted to find someone to accompany him so he could stop thinking about someone else.

That woman … Li Xiaoyun … Yan Chen closed his eyes tightly. A few years ago, this was the first time he and Li Xiaoyun had met. Even now, Yan Chen realized that he still couldn't forget that day bit by bit.

If it was said that he was in pain, he had already passed the stage where the pain pierced through his heart. Now, when he thought back to the past, he did not feel too emotional, but his memories would not be so easily erased. Every time it came to today or Li Xiaoyun's birthday, he would still feel depressed.

He could have had a few drinks, a bath, and a good night's sleep. He had always had a good self-control. However, as he thought this, he suddenly thought of Yu Xi. Letting her stay by his side seemed to be a pretty good idea.

He did not know why, if he had waved his hand, countless women would have pounced on him, but he just had to find this woman who wanted to reject him, moreover, she still had a long future ahead of her. Thinking of this, he revealed an expression of displeasure, looking out into the gradually darkening night, he raised his wine cup and gently took a sip.

Yu Xi got off the car and hurriedly walked into the garden. Just as she wanted to knock on the door, she suddenly discovered that the door was ajar. She gently pushed it open, and in the darkness of the room, only the floor-to-ceiling window had spots of light.

She didn't know why, but as she looked at Yan Chen's back, she actually felt a hint of loneliness from the words enveloped in the moonlight. She was slightly surprised as she was lost in thought, not expecting that Yan Chen who had changed the topic would have such a lonely side to her.

"You're still not coming in? What are you standing at the door in a daze for?" A clear and cold voice rang out in the dark room. Because the house was very empty, there were very few things, and it was a quiet night, so his voice seemed somewhat ethereal at the moment.

Yu Xi was pulled out of her trance by his voice. She pursed her lips and walked in before closing the door. She cleared her throat and asked him crisply, "Director Yan, what do you need me for?"

Yan Chen turned around and looked at her, but didn't answer her question. Instead, he unhappily asked, "Why did you come so late?"

Yu Xi lowered her eyes and softly replied, "I have something to do …"

"What is it?"

Yu Xi took a deep breath and slowly said, "My mother suddenly suffered and was sent to the emergency room. I received a call on the way here and hurried over."

Yan Chen did not expect this reason and was silent for a moment.

When Yu Xi saw that he didn't continue pursuing the matter, she heaved a sigh of relief and raised her head to ask again, "Director Yan, why did you call me here today? Is there something urgent?" However, Yan Chen only glanced at her once before walking to the sofa and sitting down. He didn't say anything and didn't ask her to stay or leave.

Yu Xi was a little anxious. Was this person alright? When she thought of her mother who was still unconscious, she bit her lower lip and softly said, "Since there's nothing important, then I'll go back first. My mother is still unconscious, so I can't be at ease with her." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, did I say you can leave?" A deep voice, like a cello, suddenly spoke, echoing through the empty room.

However, this was not a heavenly sound to Yu Xi. She frowned, not daring to reply due to her identity, but lowered her head and said in a neither humble nor haughty manner, "Director Yan doesn't want me to go back, but I also don't want to talk about anything. If there's nothing else, please be magnanimous, Director Yan. I really don't have the mood to deal with you right now."

This woman was like a cat sometimes, which always made him want to tease her a little. However, when he thought about how she was worried about her mother's illness, he raised his eyebrows and for the first time, he did not want to make things difficult for her. Instead, he did not plan to let her go.

"You …" Yu Xi was slightly surprised. She slightly opened her lips and looked at him with a pair of puzzled eyes. She didn't understand what he was trying to do.

Yan Chen ignored her. He picked up the phone on the tea table and called the person below to explain before putting it down and casting a sidelong glance at her, "Are you relieved now? Sit down and have a few drinks with me. "

She knew that things that Yan Chen had said would definitely be done well and there would be no mistakes, so for the time being, there wouldn't be any problems with her mother's side. However, what she didn't understand was that Yu Xi had always felt that Yan Chen was a bit different tonight, but she didn't know him, so she couldn't say what he felt.

She sat down slowly and poured herself a glass of wine. Yan Chen drained his cup in one gulp.

The scene she just saw at the door suddenly appeared in her mind. She didn't know why, but before she had time to think, she blurted out the question, "You …" Aren't you happy today? "

The hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly. He thought that he had hidden his emotions very well, but Yu Xi could easily see that his eyes darkened. After a short moment, he returned to his usual indifference.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Yu Xi quickly realized that she had said too much. She took a sip of her wine and then softly said, "Sorry, I got further and further away."

As before, Yan Chen did not speak. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Yu Xi was not in the mood to speak anymore. The two of them sat in the darkness of the room, drinking wine silently under the moonlight.

Yu Xi's capacity for alcohol wasn't too bad, but she was still able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. She drank a bit too hard, and after a short while, the alcohol had already reached her body. Her cheeks flushed red, and her head was nodding up and down.
