Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Husband Calls

Mr. Li smoked without speaking, his gaze still revolving around Ye Yan as if he had thoroughly scrutinized her from inside out.

"If Mr. Li is interested, I can help," Bai Chutong eagerly wanted to drag Ye Yan down into the abyss with her.

Why was it only her in hell? And why was that woman spotless, attracting not a speck of dust?

Mr. Li flicked his cigarette butt out of the car window and rolled up the glass.

When he turned his head to look at her, the schadenfreude on Bai Chutong’s face had not yet faded.

She wanted to adjust her expression immediately, but due to excessive tension and stiffness, she made a weird face stuck between crying and laughing.

Mr. Li pinched her face, the man’s grip was strong, causing a wave of pain that almost brought tears to her eyes.

"Do you not want to live anymore, or is it me?" Mr. Li chuckled, sounding a bit sinister.

Was that man someone he could touch?

However, thinking about it, Fu Xingzhou indeed had taste, especially in choosing women.

At the very least, compared to the one beside him, it was a huge difference.

But, it didn’t matter.

As long as one could withstand the turmoil, it didn’t matter who it was.

Bai Chutong broke out in a cold sweat from his smile, feeling an urge to flee, but reason told her that running away now would only make things worse.

Fu Xingzhou was on a business trip, and Ye Yan went to the apartment in front of Grand Hall.

The weather was overcast, with fine rain falling like silk threads.

As the car approached the entrance of the community, she saw someone getting out of a car not far away.

That person came to the driver’s side of her car and bent down to look inside.

Ye Yan lowered her window, "Mr. Lin? What are you doing here?"

As she spoke, strands of rain flew in from the window, drenching her face.

Lin Yihang smiled, "I took on a case and came here to visit a witness. Do you live in this community?"

"Yes."

"It just so happens that the security won’t let my car in, could you give me a ride?"

Although their community was not as luxurious as Yuqiao, it also prohibited the entry of vehicles from outside.

"Come on in, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yihang thanked her and opened the door to the passenger seat to get in the car.

"Which building does your witness live in?"

"I’ll make a call and ask, you go home first, I’ll go there by myself."

Ye Yan parked her car in the parking lot below the building, and Lin Yihang got out.

He stood there, looking up at the high-rise, "This must be thirty floors, right?"

"Exactly thirty floors," Ye Yan said with a smile. "My home is neither high nor low, on the sixteenth floor."

"Did you buy the apartment yourself?"

"Yeah, I’m still paying off the mortgage." In Ao City, which already had a small area, the housing prices were very high, and this apartment was located not far from the city center.

"Right, let me get you an umbrella." Ye Yan said, going back to the car to look for an umbrella.

Lin Yihang watched her delicate figure, her slightly moist hair tips from the rain, and her neck drooping slightly like that of a graceful swan.

It was as if many years ago, he stood under the platform taking shelter from the rain when a girl ran through the rain curtain towards him, her entire self drenched, yet her smile was vibrant, showing not a hint of gloom.

That day, the sky was drearily overcast, but his world was clear and sunny.

It turned out, all those little past moments were engraved in his memory, not even the smallest detail forgotten.

Ye Yan did not find the umbrella, feeling a bit frustrated.

As she stood up, Lin Yihang was on the phone, but it seemed the call didn’t go through, so he dialed again.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Yan asked.

"No one is picking up, probably something held them up," Lin Yihang said nonchalantly while checking his watch. "You go up first, I’ll wait here a bit longer."

His suit was soaked with rain, the shoulders damp and clinging.

"I couldn’t find an umbrella, so how about you come over to my place to stay out of the rain for a bit?"

"Then I’ll take you up on that offer." Lin Yihang agreed promptly, without any hesitation.

And the phone he was holding in his hand showed no sign of any calls made.

How could he still be as naive as he was in school, easily deceived by someone he knew?

He followed Ye Yan upstairs with a smile on his face.

"My place is pretty small, Mr. Lin, I hope you don’t mind." Ye Yan took out a pair of slippers and placed them at the door. "Take a seat and I’ll get you a cup of hot water."

Lin Yihang was stepping into her private space for the first time, his eyes wide with curiosity but his face betraying nothing, the picture of composure.

The apartment was indeed small, with a single bedroom; the living room had a sofa bed, probably to accommodate Ye Zhun when he returned.

The overall decor was in cool tones, which matched her personality.

But the two fluffy stuffed animals on the sofa revealed her girlish side.

"Mr. Lin, here’s your water." Ye Yan set the glass on the coffee table.

Lin Yihang thanked her and took a couple of sips.

"Have you had dinner?" Her kitchen was spotless, with hardly a trace of cooking, indicating she rarely used it.

"The rain made it a bad day for delivery," Ye Yan admitted. "I was just going to make do with some instant noodles later."

"You’re a doctor; you should know about nutrition. Instant noodles aren’t healthy and eating them too often is bad for you." Lin Yihang glanced at his watch. "How about this, I’ll have someone send over dinner."

"That’s not necessary, my appetite is pretty robust, I’m not that delicate."

Lin Yihang ignored her advice and insisted on calling his assistant to buy dinner.

While waiting, Lin Yihang asked, "Is Ye Zhun planning to apply to Aus City University?"

Aus City University was the top institution in Ao City, a magnet for top students.

"I was planning for him to study abroad, but he turned it down."

Ye Yan understood Ye Zhun’s thoughts; he didn’t want to leave her alone here after going overseas.

"Have you thought about universities inland? Tsinghua and Peking University are world-renowned, and they don’t accept students from the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan joint examination, but you can consider the DSE."

Ye Yan hadn’t really considered sending Ye Zhun inland, but compared to foreign countries, the inland was much closer to Ao City, just a pass away.

"I’ll ask Ye Zhun what he thinks." However Ye Yan felt, she ultimately respected her younger brother’s wishes; if he didn’t want to go, she wouldn’t force him.

"I’ll send you some information on this later so you two can consider it properly."

Ye Yan repeatedly expressed her gratitude, "Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Lin."

"Ye Yan, don’t be so formal with me," Lin Yihang’s eyes were deep and serene, "Let bygones be bygones. We are now alumni, friends; just call me by my name."

Mr. Lin—such a formal address put distance between them.

"Alright," Ye Yan smiled and nodded, and it was only now that a decade’s worth of guilt began to wither in her heart, that withered leaf plucked from its roots, leaving behind nothing but an open and unobstructed field.

Empty, free.

Soon, the assistant had delivered dinner.

Inside was the spicy dish that Ye Yan loved.

"You still remember I love spicy food?"

"Of course." Lin Yihang smiled, "You used to bring a bottle of hot sauce to the cafeteria, and that dark green can of skyward chilis. I once secretly bought a bottle and nearly passed out after just one bite."

Ye Yan laughed heartily, "Those chilis aren’t for everyone. There were quite a few curious folks who wanted a taste, and they nearly got themselves killed."

Talking about their school days seemed to ease the distance between them.

"Have you eaten?"

"No." Lin Yihang said, with a pitiful expression on his face.

Ye Yan thought for a moment, "Then let’s eat together."

It would be rude to let the host go hungry while being treated to a meal.

Ye Yan went to the kitchen to get some bowls and utensils, when suddenly her cell phone on the coffee table began to ring.

Lin Yihang glanced over and saw the two characters "Hubby".
