Because Ye Wanqing had not finished speaking, Gu Jinyuan did not immediately pick up the phone. He held onto his phone, and tilted his head to look at Ye Wanqing, waiting for her to continue speaking.
The phone kept ringing, pressing down on all of the courage Ye Wanqing had mustered out of nowhere.
She subconsciously leaned towards the door and whispered, "You should answer the phone first."
Gu Jinyuan then picked up the phone, he did not put it out, Ye Wanqing could not hear the other party's voice, he only saw Gu Jinyuan's gaze soften for a moment.
That gentleness came from his subconscious.
It was very intimate, indescribably ambiguous.
Ye Wanqing suddenly remembered that time, that gentle voice from the changing room next door, and he remembered that female companion who attended the party with Gu Jinyuan on the day of the charity party.
Only such a noble and elegant person would be worthy of the status of Mrs. Gu.
The other party did not say much. Gu Jinyuan responded and hung up the phone, then told Lu Zhou to stop the car by the side of the road.
"I still have things to do. I need to go to a place first. You …"
Ye Wanqing understood what he meant, and naturally got out of the car. "I'll call a cab back here, you go and get busy first."
She came to her senses and gathered her thoughts together so that she would look generous and decent, so as not to annoy him and add to his annoyance.
Gu Jinyuan's words were stuck in his throat, but in the end, only the word "En" came out of his nose.
Ye Wanqing closed the car door and stood by the side of the road as he watched them leave. Gu Jinyuan paused for a moment before he instructed Lu Zhou to drive.
After the car had driven a distance, Gu Jinyuan saw Ye Wanqing walking by the side of the road through the mirror. The street lamp was dim and it caused her shadow to lengthen.
Gu Jinyuan's heart was stabbed for a while, but he did not feel pain, and quickly disappeared, so he did not feel like anything was wrong with his emotions.
The car quickly disappeared into the traffic, Ye Wanqing retracted his gaze and could not help but wrap his arms around it.
It was a cold night and the temperature was low.
After walking a few steps, she touched her pocket, wanting to take out her phone to hail a taxi. However, she suddenly remembered that her phone was in her evidence bag at the police station. She left her room in such a hurry that she didn't even bring her bag with her.
It's over.
This thought popped up in Ye Wanqing's mind the first moment. She had no money, and without even her phone, she was thrown by Gu Jinyuan on the side of the road that he didn't know where.
Oh, not lost. She got out herself.
Stupid.
Ye Wanqing scolded himself as he aimlessly walked forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the number of cars on the road gradually decreased. She tried to hire a ride, but no one wanted to stop.
She was tired, not having the perfect foot, and her ankle was swollen and painful.
She couldn't move. She took off her shoes and sat down on the curb, feeling helpless for the first time.
If Gu Jinyuan did not return home today, how long would it take before he discovered that she had disappeared? Or it could be said that after discovering that she was gone, would Gu Jinyuan come to find her?
Under the extremely exhausted state, the pessimistic and negative emotions started to emerge from his body like a ghost. Ye Wanqing even felt that he should be eager for her, a burden, to quickly disappear.
With his means, he could play with Ye’s in his palms, there was no need for her to do anything.
Last time, he had already brought Mu Mu and Lin Lin to eat with that woman. When Mu Mu and Lin Lin returned, they were so happy, which meant that that woman was really good at coaxing children.
The child was still young, and as long as she was happy, she would soon forget about her mother.
This way... Very good.
With this knowledge, Ye Wanqing's eyes immediately turned red.
She really didn't want to be abandoned or forgotten the most.
But what else could she do?
She was like a person walking in a dark labyrinth, unable to see the light, unable to find the exit, trapped in it by her life, filled with pain and bitterness.
The ground was very cold, and the cold air seeped from the soles of her feet into her heart. No matter how tightly she hugged herself, she could not add a single trace of warmth.
Ye Wanqing sneezed, and suddenly felt a strange gaze falling on her.
Turning his head in surprise, Ye Wanqing saw two men hugging each other, standing around ten steps away from her.
Their eyes were a little dazed as they stared blankly at her, as if they had just discovered some kind of new creature.
Having been followed by a pervert before, Ye Wanqing started to get nervous. She lowered her head to look at herself, and once she confirmed that her clothes were in order, she immediately got up from the ground.
She bent down to put on her shoes, but the two men came towards her.
Ye Wanqing did not dare delay any longer, holding his shoes and running forward with a limp. The sadness that had filled his chest just now disappeared, only leaving a heartbeat that was like thunder.
What should he do?
The two men were healthy, grown men, and it was late at night, and there were hardly any cars passing by. If they really wanted to plot against her, she would not be able to resist, not even to call for help.
No!
She didn't want to die like this!
Run faster, run a little faster!
She tried her best to run faster, but her body was already exhausted to the extreme. The two people were also getting closer and closer.
Closer up, Ye Wanqing could smell the strong smell of alcohol from the two of them.
They were drunk.
Ye Wanqing's heart was beating in her throat, the pain from her injured leg was unbearable, she finally fell to the ground and couldn't help but scream.
AHH!" "Go away, don't come near me!
Accompanied by the screams were tears.
She was so scared that she was trembling all over.
The two men stopped, as if startled by her screams, and the next moment a suit jacket that smelled and felt like a man's perfume fell on her.
Turning his head back, Gu Jinyuan miraculously appeared behind her back.
At that moment, all of his defenses collapsed.
Ye Wanqing hugged Gu Jinyuan's neck without a care, and started wailing without care for his image.
Why did you just arrive? Don't you know how scared I was? I was walking so tired and my feet hurt. I thought I was going to die. Wuu ….
After living for twenty-five years, this was the first time that she had cried so brazenly, revealing all of her grievances and fears.
Gu Jinyuan was startled, but he did not push her away.
His broad arms gave her a great sense of security, and she wept uncontrollably, her tears soaking his shoulders.
She whimpered and whimpered. "When I got out of the car, I realized I didn't have a cell phone and I didn't have any money. I didn't know where I was and no one wanted to stop. I walked for a long time."
When the two people who were drunk saw Gu Jinyuan, they turned around and left. Gu Jinyuan embraced Ye Wanqing and patted her back lightly to comfort her.
After who knows how long, Ye Wanqing finally said that he was tired. He didn't make a sound, and only leaned on his shoulder and sobbed non-stop.
Gu Jinyuan rubbed her head and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone."
