Chapter 201: Chapter 201:

The phone in the bag kept ringing.

She was oblivious.

"Ye Yan," a familiar voice rang in her ear, "Ye Yan, what’s wrong with you?"

Ye Yan looked up.

It was Lin Yihang, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Lin Yihang had been on a business trip abroad and had only returned to Ao City yesterday.

After not seeing each other for months, he rushed to the hospital as soon as he could.

He didn’t expect to see Ye Yan in such a collapsed and helpless state.

With tearful eyes and a hoarse voice, Ye Yan murmured, "Lin Yihang."

"It’s me. What’s wrong? Who has bullied you?"

Just now, he thought he saw Ye Jian’an, but the man hurried away; he wasn’t entirely sure.

"I’m hungry, I want to eat something."

Lin Yihang helped her up from the ground, "Okay, I’ll take you to eat."

He glanced at her bag, "Your phone has been ringing."

Ye Yan took it out and looked.

She hung up the phone expressionlessly and then blacklisted the caller.

In the car, Fu Xingzhou’s call was hung up.

He had been calling Ye Yan’s phone continuously, but nobody answered. When there was finally a response, it was a direct hang-up.

They had agreed to meet at six at the door, and she had consented.

Could it be that a patient suddenly needed attention midway?

At this moment of Fu Xingzhou’s confusion, the bodyguard suddenly opened the car door, with a look of panic.

"Mr. Fu, I just saw Ye Jian’an."

"Did he go to find Ye Yan?"

The bodyguard nodded, "I don’t know what he said to the madam, but when he left, he seemed very scared, cursing all the while. He probably had a fall-out with the madam."

Ye Yan had always treated Ye Jian’an coldly; a fall-out was just a matter of time.

"I also found out that Ye Jian’an has started gambling again. He not only leased out the seafood shop but also owes others two hundred thousand. Those who kidnapped the third young master the other day were employed by his creditors."

Ye Jian’an couldn’t pay off his debts and would only have one reason to contact Ye Yan: to ask for money.

But judging by his demeanor, he obviously hadn’t succeeded.

Fu Xingzhou suddenly became anxious, and his heart inexplicably started racing.

His pale complexion also startled the bodyguard, "Sir, are you not feeling well?"

"Did Ye Yan hang up my phone because she found out something?"

"Did the madam find out about the trap you set up for Ye Jian’an back then?"

Ye Yan was aware of the matter regarding Ye Zhun, but she didn’t know that he had set up Ye Jian’an with debts to win her over.

If Ye Jian’an was cornered, he would surely speak recklessly.

Tearing her life apart, first targeting her, and then her brother.

The hatred Ye Yan would feel towards him after learning the truth was imaginable.

Thinking this, Fu Xingzhou felt a chilling sensation rise from the soles of his feet, swiftly overtaking his entire body.

For the first time in this relationship, he felt true despair.

"If only I knew that Ye Jian’an would talk nonsense, I should have made him disappear completely back then," the bodyguard said, seeing Fu Xingzhou’s poor complexion and not daring to continue.

The sir hadn’t been harsh with him, considering that he was the madam’s biological father.

No matter how despicable Ye Jian’an was, knowing his disappearance was related to her would be an indelible shadow for her.

Fu Xingzhou had shown mercy.

But it was this mercy that had now backed him into a corner.

He had just begun to see a glimmer of hope, yet within a mere few minutes, fate’s hand had once again dragged him down into an abyss.

"Sir, there’s a call from the old house." The bodyguard handed over the suddenly ringing phone.

Fu Xingzhou picked up the phone with an indifferent expression.

Originally already emotionally fractured, his face seemed to shatter completely upon hearing whatever was said from the other end.

"Back to Hong Kong." Fu Xingzhou handed the phone to his bodyguard, his voice somewhat urgent, "Immediately."

Ye Yan ordered several spicy dishes.

Just seeing the fiery layer of chili made Lin Yihang feel as if his throat was smoking.

People from Ao City preferred a bland diet, and there weren’t many like Ye Yan who had such a passion for spice.

The sensation of the spicy flavor as soon as it entered her mouth seemed to melt away the persistent worries.

The happiness of feasting was something only food lovers could understand.

Lin Yihang silently watched her eat, occasionally reminding her to slow down.

He had not expected that in the few short months since he left, so many things would have happened.

Ye Yan was pregnant, and that Chai Chen had almost taken advantage of his absence to step in.

But thankfully, he had returned, and he still had a chance.

Ye Yan wiped her mouth, "I came to you because I wanted to consult you about something."

"What is it, you tell me."

"I’m thinking of going abroad."

Lin Yihang was taken aback, "Now?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to give birth to the child overseas?"

Ye Yan gave a bitter smile, "I want to find a tranquil place where I can think things through properly."

As long as she was still in Ao City, still in Hua Country, Fu Xingzhou would be able to find her.

She admitted that when facing Fu Xingzhou, she often couldn’t control her emotions and was influenced by him.

Perhaps, it was because in her heart, he weighed too heavily, and she had once loved him too much.

A love so strong that even the utmost hatred couldn’t offset the extreme love.

"This can be arranged easily," Lin Yihang did not hesitate, "Leave it to me."

Ye Yan beamed with a smile, "Then I thank you in advance."

"Which country do you have in mind?"

"Just somewhere with good public security."

"Can I go with you?" Lin Yihang looked at her intently, "I can give up my job in Ao City, and I can still support you abroad. You being there alone, especially pregnant, I would be worried."

"Lin Yihang, I appreciate your kindness, but no." Ye Yan spoke seriously, "For a while, I won’t accept new relationships, new people. I’m touched by your thoughtfulness. But this is a decision I’ve considered thoroughly and won’t change."

"Alright, I respect your choice, but I’ll always be waiting for you," Lin Yihang said with a sad smile, "Apart from you, I really can’t bring myself to like anyone else. I’ve tried, but it’s no use."

He raised his cup, "Here’s to your success overseas, tea in place of wine."

The two gently clinked their cups.

Lin Yihang was well-versed in matters of going abroad and took only a few days to arrange everything for Ye Yan.

She chose Country R from among many, where the population was sparse, the environment beautiful, and peace abound.

Having settled these issues, only Ye Zhun remained.

In the past, she had given up the chance to study abroad for Ye Zhun.

But this time, she wanted Ye Zhun to get into a university in Country R for his sake.

That way, the two siblings could live in Country R forever, far away from everything in Ao City.

Ye Yan went to Yongyuan where Ye Zhun was already waiting for her at the main entrance.

"Sister," Ye Zhun ran out, "Why did you suddenly come? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing’s wrong, I just have something to discuss with you in person."

Ye Yan looked behind him, "Strange, why didn’t your joined-at-the-hip kid come with you today?"

If Fu Xingrui knew she was here, he would surely have hurried over.

She hadn’t seen him for a few days and found herself somewhat missing him.

Ye Zhun frowned, his mood sinking as well, "He went back to Hong Kong, seems like there’s some family issue."
