That sounded reasonable.
Ye Shengge nodded and said, âThen... Go now. Dr. Song is waiting for you.â
The man chuckled and said, âOkay. Goodbye.â
He then turned around and walked to Song Ruyuâs office.
Ye Shengge felt a strong sense of loss as she watched the man leave.
This was their current relationship, the stranger they were most familiar with. Even if they met, they would just greet each other and walk in different directions.
She shouldâve known, but when the truth was in front of her, she realized how cruel it was.
Ye Shengge blinked and forced back her tears. She then turned around and walked out.
...
Outside the villa, Lin Qi was reading gossip on Weibo in the car.
Suddenly, someone knocked on her window.
Lin Qi turned around and saw a bright smile.
She wound down the window and looked at him. âWhatâs the matter?â
âItâs Lin Qi, right?â The man smiled. âI want to ask you a favor. My car is broken, and I canât turn on the air conditioner. Can I sit in your car for a bit?â
âWho are you?â Lin Qi looked cautious. âHow do you know my name?â
The man looked like he wanted to vomit blood.
âYou donât remember me? I drove you home last time! Iâm Mr. Jiâs assistant!â Sun Ye was furious. âYou even called me Brother Sun!â
âMr. Jiâs assistant?â Lin Qi was still confused. âIs that you? Why donât I remember you at all?â
âOf course itâs me!â Sun Ye was furious. âYou even ate the snacks in my car that day!â
Lin Qi was a bit embarrassed. âSorry, Iâm a bit face-blind. I can remember both the good-looking and the ugly ones.â
Sun Ye vomited another mouthful of blood.
Did that girl mean that he looked ordinary and passerby?
âDid you say your car broke down?â Lin Qi scratched her hair. âWhy donât you come up and sit for a bit? Sister Shengge isnât out yet.â
Sun Ye forced a smile and said, âOkay, thank you. Iâve called the tow truck company. Theyâll be here soon.â
He then walked to the front passenger seat and got into the car.
Lin Qi hesitated.
âWhat happened?â Sun Ye pretended not to know.
âUm... Nothing. Sit here,â said Lin Qi.
She wanted to say that the front passenger seat was Sister Shenggeâs seat, and it wasnât appropriate for the man to sit there, but he had already sat on it, so she had to swallow her words.
Lin Qi took out her phone again and continued to read the gossip, chuckling from time to time.
Sun Ye wanted to talk to her, but seeing how obsessed she was with her phone, he could only sit there.
Out of boredom, he couldnât help looking at the rearview mirror. Speaking of which, he wasnât a handsome guy, and he couldnât compare to his boss... However, he was still a bit handsome, wasnât he? He couldnât be considered a passerby!
Just as he was getting into it, someone opened the car door.
Sun Ye looked up and saw Ye Shenggeâs shocked face.
âWhy are you here, Assistant Sun?â Ye Shenggeâs eyes widened.
âI accompanied the president here,â Sun Ye said calmly. âBut the car broke down and I saw Lin Qi, so I came here to get a seat.â
