Chapter 121: Return to My Side, Huh? (6000+) Asking for Monthly Tickets!

  After a long time, he still refused to let go of the woman in his arms. Anning gently patted his back, "Yi Cheng, let go."

  Let her go, let go of all the feelings between them in the past.

  "No, don't! I won't let go, I won't let go!" Shen Yicheng suddenly roared, his hands tightly wrapped around her, his helpless roar like a trapped beast struggling in its cage.

  "Let go, you have to let go, you have your own responsibilities now." She tried to comfort him.

  "No! No, you are my responsibility. I don't want anything else. I only want you. I promised your mother that I would take care of you for the rest of your life. You are my responsibility!"

  "Yi Cheng... actually, we were never meant to be. In my heart, we've already passed each other by. You know? We've already passed each other by. Even if this hadn't happened, I would have still wanted to tell you this: once something is in the past, it's really in the past. The feelings are no longer as pure as they were back then. It's not just you, I'm the same way too. You're not the Shen Yi Cheng of years ago, and I'm not the Ye An Ning of years ago either. We've both strayed too far off course. Even if we wanted to go back now, we can't find our way back to where we used to be. Why don't we just let go and move forward sincerely along our current path?"

  Her gentle voice came through his ears clearly and slowly, his neck was wet, it was the bitter tears of a man.

  Her arms tightly wrapped around her, wanting to hold onto something, but it was all in vain.

  Shen Yicheng let out a painful roar, as if he wanted to shout out his heart and lungs, "Why! Why is it like this! Is it that once a person takes a wrong step, there's no room for redemption!"

  Ye Anning's eyes also turned red, gritting her teeth and forcing herself to answer harshly, "Yes! In the journey of emotions, if you take a wrong step, you can never find your way back to forgiveness. Shen Yicheng, you already have a child now, you're about to become a father, don't get entangled in our past that's already gone by, did you hear me, Shen Yicheng, let go!"

  “……”

  "Let go!" She forcefully pulled down the man's arm, her fingernails seemingly embedded in his flesh, using all her strength to push him away. Yan Ning's hands trembled as she took out the key from her bag, opened the door and slipped inside.

  "Peace..."

  The sound of Shen Yicheng's collapse was locked outside the door by her. He rushed over in a panic, but the door had already been closed tightly.

  He pounded on the door desperately, "Anning, let me in, don't be so cruel, let me in, I don't want to let go, I don't want to... Why, why..."

  It is said that a man has tears but does not easily shed them, only when he reaches the point of heartbreak.

  Shen Yicheng almost cried out loud, how heartbreaking was he?

  The purest emotions, because of his one misstep, have fallen to the point where they are now in a dilemma, he is like being pushed to the edge of a cliff, with no world behind him without her, and ahead of him is an endless abyss.

  Inside the door, Ye Anning leaned against the door and also had tears streaming down her face. Her teeth were tightly clenched on her lower lip, telling herself not to cry, but the tears flowed out uncontrollably.

  It's not that she didn't cherish the feelings between them, it's just that she couldn't understand how they ended up like this.

  Two people inside and outside the door were sobbing uncontrollably. After a while, the sound from outside gradually stopped, and her crying also stopped.

  Everything around is quiet as if it has already sent away that melancholy emotion...

  Ye Anning sat on the sofa with her arms around her knees, her head resting on her kneecaps. The TV had somehow switched to a channel showing a dull soap opera. On the coffee table was an uneaten dinner that she had ordered in.

  My heart feels stuffy and uncomfortable, I'm a bit hungry, but nothing tastes good.

  The sky was getting dark, and the sound of the TV came from inside the room. The originally quiet environment suddenly rang out with the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole, turning, opening.

  She stiffened, raised her head in fright and found that the door of her home had actually come in. A cold air was stuck in her throat, and the next moment a familiar figure walked in. The cold air slowly went down, but the next moment she realized something was wrong again. She suddenly jumped up, "How did you get in? Who let you in?"

  Stunned, Ye Anning stared at Pei Jun, who walked in with a leisurely pace, her eyes wide with incredulity.

  Pei Jun calmly closed the door, his index finger spinning the key ring around it a few times, looking at her with an evil smile, and under the dim light, he had a bit of a rogue charm.

  Ye Anning didn't have time to appreciate it and immediately became angry. "This is my home, who let you in? Get out!"

  "I'm just here to pick up some stuff." Pei Jun said calmly, plopping himself down on the sofa. "I left a lot of things here and I happened to have time today, so I thought I'd come by and take them away."

  Ye Anning glared at him for a while, then turned around and walked into the bedroom. She opened the closet with a loud creak, rummaged through it, and saw his shirts neatly arranged alongside her clothes. Actually, she had never put away his things before, not knowing why, maybe because there was no time. She found a bag and packed up all his belongings, then stormed out of the room, but stopped in her tracks. What was he doing?

  The man who was originally sitting on the sofa is now eating the bento she bought but didn't eat with great relish.

  "Pei Jun!" Ye Anning exclaimed in disbelief, "You... that's mine!"

  "You won't eat it anyway." Pei Jun said without lifting his head, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, "It's all cold and doesn't taste good."

  Someone who was already angry heard him say that and became even more furious, "If it's not delicious then don't eat it, no one forced you to eat. You came uninvited and ate other people's food, how shameless."

  She grumbled and scolded, he sat on the sofa eating silently as if nothing was wrong. She watched him eat and felt a bit hungry, swallowed her saliva, damn it, saying it's not delicious, looking at how fragrant his food smelled, it must be better than what she usually eats.

  "You ate my dinner, what am I supposed to eat tonight!" She said resentfully, her fiery eyes staring at him, as if she wanted to bore two holes into his body.

  "Ah!" He seemed to have pulled a magic trick, and suddenly produced a bento box from somewhere and placed it on the table.

  She stared at him in surprise, taking half a day to react, and slowly walked over, opening the bag to reveal exquisitely packed bento boxes, which were her favorite crab feast.

  "Look what you're missing out on, I'll eat it then." He said as he picked up the largest crab leg with his chopsticks.

  "Hey!" She protested discontentedly, it was all her favorite food, she had a big appetite, anyway he ate hers, so she should rightfully get rid of the things he brought.

  Sitting on the floor, Ye Anning started to eat voraciously, originally still feeling no appetite, but now her appetite was wide open, and she began to wolf down her food.

  "Give me crab stick."

  "Not allowed!"

  "That's something I paid for."

  "What's it to you, didn't I buy it for you? Then only I can eat it." Ye Anning looked at him with a pleased expression, carefully guarding her food, looking like a little hen protecting its food. In fact, he wasn't really going to eat it, just teasing her. At this moment, seeing her proud and arrogant appearance, the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, "You know I bought it especially for you? Not bad."

  That low voice was like a thin snake that drilled into her heart, and she lifted her head to collide with the man's deep and mysterious eyes.

  What is he doing!

  Throw away the chopsticks, push all the food on the table away, stand up, and gaze at him coldly. "You've eaten your fill, everything of yours is here, take them and you can leave."

  It seemed that her mood changed too quickly, and the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became a bit stiff. He sat on the sofa, looking at her with an ambiguous expression.

  "Hurry up, take your things and leave!" She loudly drove him away, but he didn't move. She walked over to him and pulled him up, using too much force. He stumbled forward, his entire body colliding with hers, his solid chest meeting her soft, plump flesh. The impact was so intense that it almost triggered a beastly reaction from him. His deep eyes grew even darker, with a glimmer of light flickering within them, undergoing a subtle transformation.

  As soon as her arm tightened, she was pulled into his arms, with his scorching breath by her ear.

  "Pei Jun, what are you doing!"

  Her struggling hands were easily grasped by him, pulling her closer into his embrace. The space between their noses was filled with the fragrance of roses, a scent that carried a hint of milk and had a calming effect on people. "Don't move, I won't do anything, just let me hold you for a while."

  He suddenly said in a low voice, her resisting hands seemed to be fixed by him, and she couldn't exert any strength.

  His voice sounded a bit tired, the hot breath exhaled from his nostrils kept spraying on her ear, and she felt her body becoming a little soft.

  A hint of daze floated in her eyes, and the room fell silent once again. Pei Jun had left, but his presence still lingered in the air, and the whispers he made before leaving still echoed in her ears.

  "What I said today is serious, think about it and come back to me, huh?"

  His rising tone was like a pair of powerful hands grasping her heart, and when she looked down, she saw that he hadn't taken the things she had packed for him on the ground. Looking at the bento he bought on the table again, she bit her lip, with an inexplicable feeling in her chest.

  Sitting on the sofa, holding a bowl of crab congee and sipping it mouthful by mouthful, the TV is replaying entertainment news.

  The reporters were eager to interview this year's most promising newcomer award winner: Chu Qiao.

  Ye Anning looked at Chu Qiao who was radiant under the spotlight, and suddenly found it hard to swallow the porridge in her mouth.

  When the reporter asked about the relationship between Chu Qiao and Jun Teng, the other party smiled sweetly, saying it was just an ordinary friendship, but the little woman's charm on her face was fully revealed. The media once again published photos of the two attending a fashion show in Paris last time, and their intimate movements made people exclaim that Chu Qiao had fallen in love.

  Ye Anning has completely lost her appetite, remembering what Pei Jun said in her ear earlier. A surge of anger rose to her head, she grabbed her phone and tapped on the screen: Get out of here! You think you can flirt with girls? Stay away from me!

  After sending the message, I still felt unsatisfied and directly put his number on the blacklist.

  She was secretly pleased when he called her back furiously after reading the message, but couldn't get through.

  "Bastard!" she cursed through gritted teeth, throwing all the food on the table into the trash can.

  It was agreed that we would go out for dinner with Tian Xin Nian over the weekend, but when I saw her face wasn't right, I asked and found out that Yin Yi Feng's first love had returned.

  The most frightening thing in this world is that the first love partner eats humble pie, because whether it's a man or a woman, their first love always has an extraordinary presence in their hearts.

  "What is the attitude of Yin also wind?"

  Tian Xin's face was filled with a tangled expression, "He can't be described, it's fine, his attitude is light and casual, nothing can be seen, as if what happened between them had really passed."

  Yan Ning was delighted, "Isn't this settled then? Come on, sweetie, cheer up. As long as Yin Yifeng doesn't bully her, what can she do about it?"

  Upon hearing this, Tian's brow furrowed in distress. "The thing is, my mother-in-law really likes her, you know? She's always disliked me, but with Qin Wan, she...".

  "That's too much, this old woman, always finding fault with nothing, just can't stand seeing her own son and daughter-in-law living comfortably!" Ye Anning slapped the table with a loud bang, her angry expression even more furious than if she had been bullied.

  Tian Xin Nian couldn't help but smile, holding his good friend's hand and gently rubbing it. "You said I shouldn't be angry, look at your own appearance! Alright, actually I just wanted to vent to you, nothing really happened, I was just overthinking and worrying."

  "Anyway, you'd better be careful with your mother-in-law, she's always causing trouble for no reason. You and Yin Yifeng are doing fine now, but if something really happens, it'll be too late."

  "Got it, won't happen again."

  Looking at Tian Xin's careless smile, Ye Anning let out a long sigh. She also hoped that nothing would happen, but things often go against one's wishes. Before long, Ye Anning's words came true.

  The phone on the table rang at this time. Ye Anning picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but she didn't mind and answered it. "Hello, who is this?"

  Her breathing seemed to pause for a moment, and she furrowed her brow as she could still hear the other person's slightly heavy panting through the receiver. "Who are you? Speak up, or I'll hang up."

  Tian Xin Nian raised an eyebrow and asked her who she was. She shook her head, but the other party didn't speak up, so she still didn't know who it was.

  Just as she thought it was a prank call, a familiar male voice suddenly came from the receiver, "Ye Anning, why can't my number get through to your phone, but this one does!"

  It's actually Pei Jun!

  She was startled at first by the sound of his gritted teeth, and even through the phone, she could feel the anger emanating from him. However, she also had a lingering resentment in her heart.

  "Nonsense, the lady has put your number on the blacklist, of course you can't get through. Wait a minute, this number will also be blacklisted."

  "How dare you!" He was furious.

  "You see if I dare." She didn't back down at all.

  Halfway through, Pei Jun suddenly softened and asked, "Why are you angry again?" It was fine just last night.

  What's wrong?

  "Mind your own business, miss. I'm enjoying myself."

  After finishing speaking, he directly hung up the phone and slammed it onto the desk with a "bang".

  The whole restaurant fell silent, and everyone stared over in surprise. Tian Xin Nian smiled awkwardly, quickly lowering her head to cover her face with her arm, whispering "Shh! Mind your image!"

  Ye Anning suddenly remembered that she was still in the restaurant, and instantly felt countless gazes falling on her. She also lowered her head and covered her face with a gesture similar to He Tian's.

  "Who is it? Why are you so angry?" Tian Xin asked in a low voice.

  Ye Anning curled her lip, "A blockhead!"

  A loud laugh

  Tian Xin Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Could it be Pei Jun?"

  Anning rolled her eyes and didn't speak.

  "What's wrong, had a fight?"

  "She hadn't told Tian Xin about what happened with Pei Jun, so the other person didn't know and just thought they were having a disagreement. She was too lazy to explain and somewhat annoyed said, 'We didn't fight.'"

  "Huh? What were you just doing?"

  "We didn't even have a fight, we just broke up and went our separate ways." Her voice was a bit sharp, earlier when she heard Pei Jun's voice, the fire in her heart flared up again.

  She was worried about how to explain things to Tian Xinian, but it turned out that the other party didn't ask at all, and just smiled with a mischievous grin.

  "What's wrong with you, have you gone mad?" She felt embarrassed by what she saw.

  "Anning, do you know what this behavior of yours is called now?" Tian Xinnian raised an eyebrow and asked.

  Ye Anning pursed her lips tightly, although she didn't know what she was going to say, but her intuition told her that it definitely wasn't anything good.

  "This is what you call flirting, or in plainer terms, it's just a way of being flirtatious."

  "Preposterous!" Ye Anning's eyes widened in shock, her voice slightly raised due to alarm.

  "Shh! Shh!" Tian Xin Nian hastily covered her mouth, "Dear, keep your voice down, if you shout again, we'll definitely be kicked out by the boss."

  Ye Anning glared at her and slapped her hand away, "Who told you to spout nonsense?"

  "I didn't talk nonsense, you just didn't see your own appearance earlier. You looked like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum and also like a little tyrant being willful. If anyone saw you, they would definitely say that you two are in love, and it's the deep kind."

  Tian Xin Nian finished speaking, pouted her lips, and seeing that she looked unhappy, didn't dare to say more, obediently moved to the side and quietly ate.

  Ye Anning felt somewhat bewildered - had she really been like that just now?

  If someone else had said it, she would not have believed it, but this was Tian Xinnian speaking, and she could not help but believe him. Moreover, these words seemed to be something she had heard before, as Su Wen had also said similar things yesterday.

  They say they were flirting with each other.

  But how could this be!

  There is no affection between them at all, and they just beat or scold each other.

  The relationship between the two people was not pure from the beginning, they were just a transaction, he only wanted her body, and she was just infatuated with his warmth.

  That day he said such excessive words, he had already dumped her, and they were over.

  Ye Anning furrowed her brow, looking somewhat conflicted.

  "Alright, alright, let's just say I was wrong, okay? Let's not dwell on it, come shopping with me instead." Tian Xin Nian said with a conciliatory smile.

  Ye Anning nodded as soon as she heard it, right, if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it, what's there to be entangled in, anyway it's already over.

  Two sisters were walking hand in hand on the street, when Ye Anning's phone rang.

  She suddenly realized that she hadn't put Bae Jun's number on her blacklist yet.

  When she saw the number displayed on her phone wasn't his, she felt a tiny bit of disappointment in her heart, really just a very small one.

  But her downcast mood was short-lived, as the number displayed on her phone furrowed her brow.

  The phone connected, and Ye Qingyun's low voice came from inside, "Come back home tonight, there are some things to talk to you about."

  "There's nothing much to say, it's all the same over the phone." She replied lightly.

  "Hey!" Ye Qingyun's attitude made her angry, but this time she miraculously didn't scold her. She didn't even say anything, just paused for a moment, as if to calm herself down. Half a beat later, she spoke up, "Starting tomorrow, you'll come help out at the Ye family and follow Jun Tong's cooperation."

  Ye Anning was initially somewhat unresponsive, and it wasn't until Ye Qingyun repeated himself that she realized she hadn't misheard.

  "You're kidding, I said I wouldn't enter the Ye family." Ye Anning flatly refused.

  "Aren't you on vacation now? Come over and help out first. Your sister is in the hospital because of what happened between you and Shen Yicheng, isn't she? The company is short-staffed right now, and with a case this big, if your sister were here, I would have handed it over to her, but she's lying in the hospital bed. Don't you think you should help out, considering both public and private matters?"

  Ye Qingyun's attitude was not good, but after all, he didn't scold anyone and didn't make any harsh demands. This made Ye Anning feel somewhat surprised.

  "But I don't know anything." Ye Anning paused for a moment before speaking up.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun's attitude obviously softened. "You don't need to know anything, there will be people teaching you what to do. This case is a matter of life and death for the Ye family. If you are still a member of the Ye family, then put your heart into it. Tomorrow morning, don't come to the Ye residence, just go straight to Junting."

  "Y...". Ye Anning was about to say something when the phone on the other end suddenly hung up, as if it was afraid she would refuse.

  My mind is in a mess, I need help, but it's about Junteng...
