There seemed to be a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "I'll be gentler next time!" Xiao Yu's voice was tinged with a smile, sounding warm and pleasant, but there was not a shred of sincerity in it. "I've prepared a new set of clothes for you on the sofa."
Next time! As soon as Ye Yanxi heard this, her face immediately darkened.
When she walked into the living room, sure enough, she saw two bags. One bag contained a brand - new set of clothes, even the underwear was prepared, and the other bag held a pair of shoes.
She checked the clothing size and such. They were all the sizes she usually wore.
However, her mood didn't get much better because of these clothes and shoes. What made her happy was that her bag, the one she left in Xiao Yu's office that night, was also on the sofa.
After that, she rushed to take a shower in the bathroom and then changed into the clothes. She was too lazy to think about how Xiao Yu knew her size. But when she was tidying her hair in front of the mirror, she saw many purplish - red hickeys on her neck. Suddenly, the image of Xiao Yu kissing her neck last night flashed through her mind, and her face began to burn again.
The collar of the clothes was too short to cover the hickeys at all. She thought angrily in her heart that it must be Xiao Yu's deliberate doing. Damn it.
She struggled in front of the mirror for a while and then simply stopped looking at those marks.
At this moment, the phone rang again. It was Ye Minghao calling. As soon as she answered the phone, Ye Minghao on the other end blurted out, "Where are you?"
"I'm at work," Ye Yanxi made up an excuse casually to fob him off.
"Still working at this time?" There was a hint of doubt in the voice on the other end.
"Something came up in the company suddenly, so I'm working overtime." To prevent Ye Minghao from noticing anything, she changed the subject. "Is Dad awake?"
"He woke up ages ago!"
"Okay, I'll go to the hospital right now." After saying that, Ye Yanxi hung up the phone.
She left the room and took the elevator straight to the hotel entrance.
All she wanted now was to see Ye Junze as soon as possible.
In the lounge on the first floor of the hotel, there was a person sitting. He spotted Ye Yanxi as soon as she got out of the elevator.
"Xiaoxi!" Chu Beize's voice was a bit loud because of his excitement.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Yanxi instinctively looked back. Sure enough, it was Chu Beize walking towards her.
Ye Yanxi frowned slightly. "Why are you here?"
Chu Beize was quite happy to see Ye Yanxi at first, but now his face suddenly changed and darkened. He grabbed Ye Yanxi's arm tightly.
"You still ask me? I should be the one asking you. Why are you here?" Chu Beize's face was a bit ferocious. "And you came out of the elevator. What are you doing here?"
"Where I go is none of your business!" Ye Yanxi easily shook him off and pulled out her arm. Her face was also full of anger.
Suddenly, Chu Beize happened to see the hickeys on Ye Yanxi's neck. He went crazy all of a sudden. He grabbed Ye Yanxi's arm again, and with his other hand, he directly pulled at her collar to see more clearly. Sure enough, a large patch of hickeys was clearly visible.
As a man, he knew only too well what these meant.
Looking at those glaring hickeys, Chu Beize's face turned pale and the veins on his forehead bulged. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Because of his somewhat irrational actions, he increased the strength in his hands. Ye Yanxi felt a bit of pain in her arm, and her neck was accidentally scratched by his nails. She gasped in pain and pushed him away forcefully.
"You're hurting me!"
Chu Beize didn't show any sign of restraint because of this. He stared fixedly at her, as if he wished he could swallow her alive, repeating over and over again, "Tell me, where did these hickeys come from? Did you sleep with a man?"
Ye Yanxi only felt extremely annoyed. She was already in a bad mood, and Chu Beize's persistence made her even more upset.
"It's none of your business!" Ye Yanxi planned to bypass him and leave the hotel.
