The black Bentley drove steadily on the road. The lights in the car were dimmed and the temperature was suitable. After a while, Ye Fei felt drowsy. He relaxed and was about to close when the phone buzzed and vibrated.

Ye Fei picked it up and saw that it was his dad’s number.

Ye Fei sneered, refused directly and blocked the number. A few seconds later, Ye Yao’s call came in again.

Ye Yao is like a cockroach in particular, and there are countless others behind it. Ye Fei frowned in disgust, and continued to refuse.

After several times, Yan Xiao next to him finally couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”

Looking at Ye Fei, he immediately explained: “Of course, I’m not inquiring about your privacy, I was just wondering if I could help.”

“It’s okay,” Ye Fei threw the phone to the seat, paused for a few seconds, and said perfunctorily: “Thank you.”

“No,” Yan Xiao pressed his lower lip, seeking truth from Ye Fei. “I haven’t done anything yet.”

Ye Fei was in a bad mood, and he was also amused by him. An illness tore off the veil of family camouflage and completely shattered his belief since childhood.

The father is not the father, and the younger brother is not the younger brother. Ye Fei raised his head, his gaze fell on Yan Xiao. From his past and present, only this person has not changed.

[TL: He meant that his father and younger brother are not really his family, not literally but more of the emotional aspect.]

As always, unreasonable and…foolish.

In his last life, he was married to Yan Xiao for more than two years. Although the relationship between the two is not too close, they can be regarded as friends. It’s a pity that it only took him less than a month from the time he was diagnosed with ALSD to his death.

At that time, Yan Xiao was still dealing with the cooperation case abroad and he’s not

aware about the illness of Ye Fei. As a result, Ye Fei didn’t manage to give Yan Xiao a proper farewell.

If there is a chance this time, he will bid farewell to Yan Xiao. But that’s not necessarily true. Ye Fei thought for a while. At that time, the two were already divorced, and they hadn’t contacted each other in a long time .

The mobile phone that vibrated again interrupted his thoughts, and Ye Fei picked it up

without even batting an eye on it: “Are you done?”

“Huh?” Gu Ruijia’s ridicule came from over the phone. “Why are you so angry at night, are your desires not fulfilled?”

Ye Fei moved his phone and glanced at the caller ID. Rubbing his eyebrows, “Fuck, I’m wrong. If you have something to say then say it or else I will hang up.”

Gu Ruijia is Ye Fei’s best friend. The two have known each other for more than a decade, and they even knew about each other’s bedwetting when they were young.

“Ye Fei, I am your Uncle,”[tl: Not literal uncle it’s just a way of scolding like saying I’m your father] Gu Ruijia scolded with a smile, “Is this how you’re gonna treat your old iron?”

[TL: Old Iron- The term “Old Tie” comes from the dialect of “tie buddies”, which is another name for buddies. Similar to the term there are Tiezi, etc. It describes a relationship that is close, reliable, trustworthy, and strong like iron. ]

Ye Fei leaned lazily on the back of the seat, provoking: “If you have the ability, you can take care of me.”Yan Xiao stiffened, he looked at Ye Fei, his eyes darkened. It’s just that Ye Fei’s attention was on the phone, and he didn’t notice.

Gu Ruijia shuddered at him and almost threw the phone. His mouth twitched: “Thank you for the invitation but I’m in the straight men’s area, and I won’t be able to… I wont joke anymore, I have business.”

“Spill it.”

“Yu Chunsheng is coming out with a new drama, the ancient super IP that was a big hit a few years ago <<The Way to Upgrade the Favored Concubine>> that was on fire a few years ago,” he said, “Fuck, why is it so shameful to pronounce this name. The producer is Blue Ocean Entertainment. The protagonist is set to be the film emperor Cen Xinghua, such a luxurious configuration, and a well-deserved drama.”

Gu Ruijia’s voice sounded very excited: “I have made initial contact with Blue Ocean, and I plan to invest in the name of our company. What do you think?”

Ye Fei just remembered that when he had just graduated from university in his previous life, in order to show that he would not compete with Ye Yao for control of Dingyuan, he founded a film and television company named Tianxi Entertainment with Gu Ruijia.He planned to stand alone.

It was just that Dingyuan was on the verge of bankruptcy later, and he devoted all his energy to saving Dingyuan, and didn’t have time to manage Tianxi. Gu Ruijia’s family has a mine at home so the business is purely for fun. After a few small fights, the company was shut down, which coincided with the investment failure of “The Way to Upgrade The Favorite Concubine”.

That’s right, this TV series that brought together big IP, famous directors, and film emperor, was robbed of investment by major film and television companies, was not broadcast at all in the end.

As soon as the male protagonist’s actor was arrested for taking drugs, the female protagonist was blocked due to incorrect political stance, which shocked the industry by its degree of misfortune. The only award he received came from director Yu Chunsheng-

the news that Yu Chunsheng went to Jinshan Temple to worship Buddha for transfer, and was sent to the hospital due to heatstroke before entering the temple. He threw off the news of the same period with the attitude of riding a mountain and they won the title of Sand Sculpture News of the year.

[tl: What does sand sculpture news mean? Sand sculpture news is a homonym of the word “silly news”, which means funny news and happy news. Funny and ironic because of all the misfortunes]

Ye Fei sat up straight, and said straight to the door: “I don’t like it.”

“Why?” Gu Ruijia was a little depressed by the cold water poured on his head, “How can I not pounce on this show?”

“It’s hard to tell on the phone,” Ye Fei said cautiously, “Don’t continue to contact Blue Ocean Entertainment. I’m not free today. Tomorrow, we will talk in person tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Gu Ruijia knew that Ye Fei was not an aimless person, “There are just a few people I know who are also interested in this drama. We have arranged to meet tomorrow night. I will send you the time and place at WeChat.”

“Okay.”

Hanging up, Ye Fei threw the phone aside. He opens the small refrigerator and takes out a bottle of water. Yan Xiao always only put water in his car. In his opinion, beverages and any beverages containing additives are catalysts that accelerate the decline of life.

He unscrewed the bottle cap and was about to drink it when he noticed Yan Xiao looking straight at him.

“What?” Ye Fei raised his head, and asked indifferently.

“Ye Fei,” Yan Xiao’s voice was very low, but the tone was smooth and did not contain any questioning elements.”Do you plan to develop a flesh-body relationship with Gu Ruijia that is beyond friendship?”

“Ahem.” Ye Fei choked with a mouthful of water. When it reached his throat, it almost came out, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“It is not nonsense,” Yan Xiao looked at the time and bent his finger to knock on the chair. “I heard it at 7: 31, that is, four minutes ago.”

the partition in the car suddenly rose up obediently, leaving a separate and private space for the two of them.

Ye Fei half-closed his eyes and thought for a while before he said, “You mean that,” he smiled and said lightly, “it was just a joke.”

Of course, the relationship between flesh and body should be developed, but it is definitely not with Gu Ruijia.

“Is it not too casual to joke about this kind of thing?” Yan Xiao’s voice lowered. He looked at Ye Fei blankly, with obvious disapproval in his tone. “You need to redefine safe social distance.”

Ye Fei hates others’ pointing at his way of life. What’s more, he didn’t do anything excessive. It was just normal jokes among his friends. As a result, Yan Xiao made it into a big deal.

He hummed and laughed, but he couldn’t help saying sarcastically, “Do you sell world maps?” [TL: It is a slang that I can’t explain if you want to research it here’s the raws “你是卖世界地图的吗?]

The tube was so wide.

Yan Xiao was startled, and immediately corrected him seriously: “No, the company did not carry out this business.”

Ye Fei: “…”

You can’t even argue with people like Yan Xiao.

“Forget it,” he waved his hand and dropped a sentence, “In any case, there is no other meaning, and no one will take it seriously.” He closed his eyes and made a look as if he didn’t want to speak any more.

Yan Xiao was left looking at his profile and hesitated to speak.

He wondered why, no matter how he analyzed it, Ye Fei’s conclusion was wrong. He is beautiful, sincere, and smart… Yan Xiao can put all the beautiful words in the world on him without feeling repulsed.

It is impossible for anyone to remain indifferent when facing his almost seductive remark, at least Yan Xiao, who has always been sensible and calm, can’t do it.

It’s a pity that Ye Fei didn’t tell it to him, otherwise Yan Xiao could prove it to him immediately.

The car slowly stopped in the villa area. Ye Fei unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, and walked along the lush path in the villa area. Yan Xiao stared out of the window, until the thin and tall back figure melted into the night, and then he ordered the driver to continue driving forward.

Ye Fei sat in the back seat, the place where he sat still had a shallow warmth. Yan Xiao moved aside, feeling the temperature below him, as if he was holding Ye Fei in his arms.

At eight o’clock in the evening, no more than a minute, Yan Xiao appeared in the conference room on time. He listened to reports from the Operations Department and Public Relations Department on a major bug that appeared in a mobile game yesterday.

“The BUG has been fixed, and the compensation to the user will also be issued within two days.” The executive who spoke looked at Yan Xiao’s expression. “The punishment of the relevant personnel is still under discussion. The specifics need to be further communicated with the Human Resources Department. ”

Yan Xiao held the mouse, listening and reading through the summary emails sent by his subordinates.

“The official blog has already issued a statement. After the public relations operation, the response has been very good. Netizens are joking and teasing, and they are also on hot searches, but they accidentally introduced a lot of traffic to the game.”

Yan Xiao didn’t say a word, the expression on his face was neutral. The executives gradually became nervous, and even subconsciously lightened their breathing.

The meeting room was quiet, and he could only hear the occasional clicking of his mouse. It was Like a small hammer with a heavy handle, it knocked on people’s hearts again and again.

A minute later, Yan Xiao finally spoke up: “Your email has a total of 627 characters, including one typo, and there is no space at the beginning of the paragraph–”

He looked up: “Maybe mistakes are the departmental culture that your department admires?”

The spokesman was dismayed and apologetic.

Yan Xiao glanced at him and looked at him at a loss. Then he said: “There would be no next time.”

“Yes, yes.”

Then came the summary of the public relations department. Yan Xiao listened to it, and his thoughts ran to Ye Fei.

What exactly needs to be arranged with him in advance?Yan Xiao simulated several answers in his mind, but he quickly overturned them one by one. He is really not good at this kind of thing that cannot be calculated with data and constant formulas.

But the high probability is a good thing, Yan Xiao guessed. After all, this was the longest day Ye Fei stayed with him in the six months they were married. On the other hand, the relationship between them is closer than before.

Yan Xiao thought for a while, clicked on Cheng Minghao’s WeChat, and sent a message over–

[Yan Xiao: Where is the best double-skin milk in the city?】

[tl:Double skin milk is a Cantonese dessert made of milk, egg whites, and sugar. It was first invented in Shunde, Guangdong]

Pondering for a while, thinking that with Cheng Minghao’s IQ, he might not be able to fully understand what he meant, so he added another sentence.

[Yan Xiao: It’s best to include taste, evaluation, and ingredients. 】

Ye Fei likes this kind of dessert very much and Yan Xiao remembers it firmly.

Cheng Minghao, who received the message, almost thought that he had read it wrong. He had known Yan Xiao for more than a decade, not to mention desserts, he had never eaten extra meals other than dinner.

In the afternoon, he suddenly changed his mind in the studio… the more he thought about it, the more abnormal it became.

However, Cheng Minghao did his best to find a shop with a good reputation and sent it to Yan Xiao.

After the meeting, Yan Xiao went to the dessert shop to get the double skin milk. He didn’t know whether Ye Fei wanted to eat cold or hot, so he simply packed a portion of everything, which allowed the driver to drive home and allowed him to increase the speed to eighty yards for the first time.

Yan Xiao pays great attention to traffic safety, and the speed of the vehicle must not exceed seventy. But today… he touched the heat on the dessert box. He was more worried about the double skin milk getting cold than the traffic accident.

When Yan Xiao arrived home, Ye Fei was sitting on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone. He raised his head and smiled when he heard the movement

“I’m back.” “Yeah.” Yan Xiao methodically put on his slippers and put his shoes neatly in the shoe cabinet . While carrying the dessert box, he walked to Ye Fei’s side, quietly waiting for him to ask.

That way he can take advantage of the trend and inadvertently say that this is what he bought as a gift for him.

However, Ye Fei didn’t notice the box in his hand, only patted the location beside him, motioning him to sit over.

Yan Xiao was a little disappointed, but he still looked calm. He put the dessert on the coffee table in front of Ye Fei, and looked at Ye Fei sideways, with a vague expectation in his heart: “What are you going to tell me?”

“Yan Xiao.” Ye Fei called him.

“Yeah.”

“Let’s get a divorce.”
