What did this sentence mean?
Ye Yanxi only saw these words. As for the sender, she didn't see clearly because Xiao Yu had already put the phone away. Now she couldn't see it at all.
Xiao Yu had chosen to make up an excuse and didn't want to tell her about it. Presumably, he did it on purpose.
He had promised her that he would tell her about any dangerous things and wouldn't let her worry. It seemed that the thing he was hiding wasn't that dangerous.
Since that was the case, Ye Yanxi felt relieved and didn't care anymore.
However, seeing Xiao Yu being able to use his phone to make calls made Ye Yanxi so angry that she couldn't swallow it.
Why did he confiscate her phone? It forced her to wear a phone watch, which was always mentioned by others. She didn't know what excuse to make up. If she continued to use it, she would go crazy.
She had to get her phone back from Xiao Yu as soon as possible.
Having lived with Xiao Yu for so long, Ye Yanxi naturally knew his habits. For example, after dinner, he would go to the living room to watch the news for a while. About half an hour later, he would go to the gym next door to work out.
In the past, when they lived in the Qingyuwan Apartment, there was no separate gym at home. After moving to the villa, a special gym was decorated, and it was well - equipped. According to his usual habit, he would stay in it for at least an hour.
So, after dinner, Ye Yanxi didn't rush upstairs. Instead, she accompanied Xiao Yu very obediently to watch TV in the living room. The news was extremely boring. After watching for a while, she felt sleepy.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was still staring intently at the TV, Ye Yanxi yawned and leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder, dozing off.
"If you're sleepy, go upstairs and rest." Xiao Yu patted her little face.
Her eyelids were so heavy that she was too lazy to open them. But when she heard this, she suddenly sat up straight, struggling to keep her eyelids open and forcing herself to stay awake. "No, I'm not sleepy."
Why did she accompany him to watch the news today out of the blue?
Generally, when Ye Yanxi showed such thoughtful behavior, she must have some tricks up her sleeve. At this moment, no one knew what she was planning in her little head.
But Xiao Yu didn't expose her.
After about the right time, Xiao Yu stood up.
Ye Yanxi, who had been sleeping crookedly beside him, suddenly sat up like a carp doing a backflip. Her mind became clear all of a sudden. She looked at Xiao Yu flatteringly. "Are you going to work out?"
"What? Do you want to come too?"
"No, no..." Ye Yanxi waved her hands hurriedly. After putting on her slippers, she gently stroked her belly. "I'm pregnant now. I can't exercise vigorously."
"Then I'll take you upstairs to rest."
"No, no need." Ye Yanxi waved her hands again to refuse. She looked at Xiao Yu with a big smile. "It's okay. I can go up by myself. You'd better go to the gym quickly. I'll wait for you upstairs!"
Xiao Yu's expression remained calm. He showed no sign of suspicion. After walking a few steps, he told her again, "If you're really tired, go to bed early."
"Got it." Ye Yanxi smiled so brightly that her eyes were almost closed.
She watched Xiao Yu enter the gym, then saw him turn on the treadmill and start running slowly.
Seeing this, Ye Yanxi rolled her eyes.
The next moment, Ye Yanxi rushed upstairs quickly. But after going upstairs, she didn't go directly to the bedroom. Instead, she turned a corner and entered the study.
The reason why she accompanied Xiao Yu to watch the news for half an hour was that she was afraid that if she went upstairs to the study at that time, Xiao Yu would immediately find out. At this moment, Xiao Yu couldn't see her from the gym. So, taking advantage of this gap, she could carry out her plan.
After returning from school yesterday, she had sworn to find her phone. She had rummaged through every corner of the house, even all of Xiao Yu's suit pockets, but still couldn't find it.
She had searched everywhere except the study. She was sure that the phone must be in the villa.
Since it wasn't in the bedroom, she would search the study today. There was a high chance that Xiao Yu had put her phone there.
After sneaking into the study, Ye Yanxi turned on the light. This was Xiao Yu's private study. It was quite large, and there were many rows of bookshelves. It seemed that she had to search them one by one.
So, Ye Yanxi started rummaging through the first bookshelf, planning to find her phone before Xiao Yu came out.
In the hospital, she had been completely off - guard, which allowed Xiao Yu to snatch her phone. Now, as long as she got it back and held it tightly, Xiao Yu wouldn't be able to take it away.
Strange. Where could Xiao Yu have hidden her phone?
Without a moment's pause, Ye Yanxi rummaged through everything. She even checked the gaps between the bookshelves. She took out some books from the cabinets and shook them, but still found nothing.
It was impossible. She couldn't not find it in this study.
Ye Yanxi stood in the middle of the cabinets, frowning and thinking for a while. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of the drawer of the desk.
Ye Yanxi's eyes lit up. She immediately walked over and pulled... The drawer didn't open?
She tried again, but it didn't move at all. Was it locked? Damn it. Xiao Yu had actually locked it.
Maybe her phone was inside, but where was the key?
She thought that Xiao Yu did have a bunch of keys on him. Maybe... One of them was the key to this cabinet.
Ye Yanxi rushed back to the bedroom in a hurry. Fortunately, when Xiao Yu came back, he had taken off his suit and hung it on the hanger in the bedroom. It was effortless to get the keys now.
She rushed back into the bedroom happily. Her target was the suit hanging on the hanger. She groped in the pockets for a while, then hooked her finger, and a bunch of shiny keys appeared at her fingertips.
Ye Yanxi couldn't contain her joy and laughed. It was really a stroke of luck.
On the way back to the study, she deliberately glanced at the living room. There was no one there. It seemed that Xiao Yu was still in the gym.
After entering the study, Ye Yanxi suddenly felt an indescribable excitement. It was just like being a thief. She tiptoed to the desk. The phone was almost within reach. Her hands trembling, she inserted the keys into the keyhole one by one. Fortunately, there were only three.
After inserting the second key, there was a "click" sound, and the first drawer opened.
Ye Yanxi pulled it open with one hand. She was a little disappointed. She rummaged through it a few times. There were only some documents and nothing else.
She locked the drawer and opened the second one. Still nothing. There were only some materials.
She opened the third drawer dejectedly.
This time, she didn't have much hope. But after seeing what was in the drawer, she was still uncontrollably excited.
It was actually her phone. It was like a reunion after a long separation!
Ye Yanxi looked at the phone lying quietly in the drawer. Her expression was as pious as if she were worshipping a god.
Phone, phone. I've been looking for you for so long. You must have missed me too, right?
Ye Yanxi swore bitterly in her heart that she would never let Xiao Yu take her phone away again. She must protect her phone well.
With great excitement, she was about to reach out to take the phone. But at this moment, a hand seemed to appear out of thin air and took her phone away first.
She watched helplessly as the phone was taken away right in front of her eyes.
"Phone, my..." She shouted anxiously.
When she turned around, she found that Xiao Yu was standing behind her, holding her phone casually.
When did Xiao Yu come?
Ye Yanxi stared at Xiao Yu in shock and couldn't say a word for a long time. Her eyes were wide open.
It took her a long time to open her mouth and murmur, "When... did you come? Aren't you supposed to be downstairs at this moment?"
She had clearly seen him enter the gym. How could he appear in the study in such a short time?
"You seem not very happy to see me?" Xiao Yu looked at her calmly, playing with her phone with his fingertips. A hint of amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Of course, she didn't want to see him at this moment. Wasn't this obvious? Every time she saw him, something bad would happen. Now, he had taken her phone away again. She was so close to success. How could she not be angry?
She had wanted to find her phone secretly, but instead, she had been caught red - handed.
What bad luck.
"No." Although Ye Yanxi was angry, her expression changed instantly. She smiled softly. "How could I not want to see you? I'm really happy in my heart!"
But as she was speaking, her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the phone in Xiao Yu's fingertips.
If only he could return the phone to her, Ye Yanxi prayed in her heart.
"Really?"
"I think you seem very unhappy now. Did I misread?"
Since the conversation had reached this point, Ye Yanxi simply didn't want to pretend anymore. She sank her face. "Yes, how could I be happy? You know very well why I'm unhappy!"
As she spoke, Ye Yanxi pointed at the phone again.
"This is my phone. You should return it to me!"
"Didn't I buy you a phone?"
Ye Yanxi angrily took off the phone watch and slapped it on the desk. She glared at him fiercely. "This is clearly a children's watch. Don't try to fool me with it!"
"Can't it be used?"
The point of the problem didn't seem to be here. She just wanted her phone back.
During the confrontation, Ye Yanxi looked down at the drawer again and found that there seemed to be another phone in it. That phone looked so familiar... Ye Yanxi looked at it carefully for a few times. This looked a bit like the one she had lost a few months ago.
