At this moment, Ji Anan was on his way back.

After receiving her help message just now, he had rushed over to the bar to find her and took advantage of the chaos to save Xue Xin. At the same time, she had also secretly escaped when Teng Yiyang was in a confrontation with the other party.

She knew that drunkenness was the property of Teng Yiyang and a few of his good friends. Even if he had to face those people alone, he wouldn't suffer any losses. Therefore, she didn't worry at all and left.

However, when she saw the brightly lit streets, her thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

"An An, hide behind me, I will protect you."

These words penetrated her youth and returned to her ears.

All day long, she would be jumping up and down, fighting and causing trouble. She followed beside him, and she had seen many fights between them. Every time the other party blocked them at the school gate, he would habitually pull her behind him, protecting her like a prince, protecting her.

She had always thought he would stand in front of her, but in the end he had become someone else's prince.

She silently laughed, covered up by the dark shadows, unable to describe her desolation.

There was a reaction, called slow reaction. When she met Teng Yiyang again, she appeared so calm and normal in such an occasion. When she returned to the quiet car, her fingers couldn't help but tremble.

After four years, he still had some influence over her.

Bei Yiyuan sat in the driver's seat and looked at the person in the backseat through the mirror. One of them was sleeping on his stomach while the other was looking out the window with an indifferent expression.

How long has it been since I last saw her like this?

It was as if she had been brought home by her big brother, and when no one was around, she would reveal such a sorrowful and fragile appearance. It was only after the birth of Sleeping Treasure that she gradually revealed a smile, as if she had been reborn with a backbone.

He and his brother had always thought that the wound in her heart had already healed, but when they truly faced Teng Yiyang, he discovered that some of the wounds were buried in the flowing sand of time.

He tightly gripped the steering wheel, his veins popping. If he knew earlier that he shouldn't have listened to An An's advice and let that bastard off, he would have at least gone up to give him a few punches to vent his anger for her!

How could their Bei Family's treasure swallow such a painful tear alone?

No, he'll call his big brother when he gets back!

She simply did not expect to meet Teng Yiyang in this way, nor did she expect that his reaction would be so abnormal. She thought that if they met by bad luck, they would treat each other as air, just like how he treated her back then.

She remembered the flash of joy in his eyes when he grabbed her wrist. She shook her head, amused. How could he show such an affectionate side to her? The lights inside were probably too much.

Nothing mattered anymore. After tonight, they would not have a chance to see each other again.

A car that looked like a silver light sped along the road before finally stopping in front of a high-end villa.

Teng Yi Yang got off the car and looked at the villa that was covered by the dark sky. His eyes twitched.

He remembered that no matter how late he came back, there would always be a light waiting for him inside.

Now that he was back, the only thing that greeted him was a pitch-black loneliness.

How long has it been?

After she had left, all the lights in the room had been lit by him.

He walked into their house. It was a scorching July and August, and the whole room was cold and still, as if it were going to freeze to the bone.

Because there was too much information about her, he had not returned for a long time.

Today, she had suddenly appeared and then suddenly left. The fragrance that lingered in his embrace suddenly dissipated, making him want to return here.

Although he didn't come here often, there was always a hour worker cleaning the place. It was spotless, just like when she was still here.

He did not admit that he was looking at people.

He went to the wine cabinet and took a bottle of red wine and a glass. Then he went to a chair on the balcony and sat down.

He opened the cork and poured himself a glass of wine.

The wine was red in the cup, and he was not in a hurry to drink it, but staring at it in a daze.

He remembered a quick glance in the bar, her bright red lips.

In the past, whenever she saw him, she would smile at him brilliantly. How could she be like today? She pursed her lips and frowned, as if she had seen an uninvited guest.

By the way, he remembered she said she didn't know him.

Heh, he had known her since she was eight years old.

She actually dared to pretend that she didn't know him!

Annoyed, he drank the red wine in one gulp and poured another.

As the wine entered his throat, he could not help but think back to that day's encounter. It was because it was too short that he could not bear to quickly progress, so he reminisced about it bit by bit.

Her face seemed to have gained a little flesh, and she was not as thin as she used to be. She was in high spirits, and her eyes were clear and untroubled.

This knowledge caused Teng Yiyang to let out a cold snort. However, when her distant and cold eyes flashed across his mind, his heart trembled and the wine cup in his hand involuntarily tightened.

"Ji Anan, you ungrateful woman!"

At this moment, Ye Zichen's phone rang. He squinted his eyes and picked it up.

"Young Master Teng, we have already called out the bar's surveillance and the door's security. Miss Ji left with a man. We are currently looking up the license plate. If there are no problems, we will find out within three days."

Man? Teng Yi Yang's face instantly darkened.

"Three days is too long. I can't wait any longer. Just tell the Painter Guild that if they don't hand over the information about her, I'll make them scram out of A City!"

"Yes!" This subordinate understands! "

After hanging up the phone, Teng Yi Yang's eyes turned cold!

"Ji An, you're very good. If I find out that you're with someone behind my back, I can guarantee that you'll regret leaving me!"

After an unknown period of time, the entire bottle of red wine ran out and the people on the balcony had already disappeared.

Teng Yi Yang shakily opened the door to the master bedroom. The furnishings in the room were still the same as before, but there were a lot less things and most importantly, there was a lot less people.

He fell onto the bed and raised his body, covering his eyes with one hand.

At this moment, his phone rang again.

He didn't want to pick it up, but when he saw the name flashing on it, he did.

"Brat, did you go out to fool around again?" Old Man Teng's voice, filled with vigor, almost penetrated the speaker.

"Grandfather, it's a match made in heaven." He rubbed his glabella and replied helplessly.

Old Man Teng seemed to be choked, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Oh, I called you to give you time to go home tomorrow."

"Are you not feeling well?"

"Brat, can't you think that my old man would be better? I see that you're not young anymore, and it's time to find someone to take care of you. Do you still remember the Li family's daughter? "Since you've returned from your studies this year, your moral character and appearance are both very good. Come and see me tomorrow …"

"Grandpa, I'm tired. I still have some work to do tomorrow, so I won't tell you."

He did not care what his grandfather said, and hung up without hesitation.

It was unknown when it started, but his grandfather had always been so passionate about being a red lady that he became extremely annoyed.

He rolled over, hugged the pillow and closed his eyes. Her stubborn look filled his mind, making him even angrier.
