Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Like Evil Spirits from the Underworld

Shen Yi belatedly realized how mushy his words had just been and felt a moment of embarrassment.

But then he thought there was no need to be embarrassed as he truly meant what he said; as long as he could see Ye Wanwan, he feared nothing, no matter the difficulty.

It was just that when looking into Ye Wanwan’s eyes, he always felt somewhat unnatural.

Shen Yi raised his hand, placed it on Ye Wanwan’s head, and ruffled it firmly, messing up her hair.

Seeing her still looking at him with a silly expression, Shen Yi chuckled as he looked away.

After lunch at the Ye family home, it was time for Shen Yi to head to the airport. None of the elders in the family indicated a desire to send him off, leaving some more time for the affectionate young couple.

Whether it was because parting times always seem to fly by, or because there were few cars on the road today, they arrived at the airport very quickly.

It wasn’t time to board yet, so Ye Wanwan accompanied Shen Yi as they waited together at the airport.

Unlike the last time, Shen Yi still had a lot to say to Ye Wanwan, but now, the words just wouldn’t come out.

All the words seemed pale and powerless, so Shen Yi just held her hand tightly, as if that allowed him to be with her indefinitely; he didn’t want to separate from Ye Wanwan.

When it was time to board, Ye Wanwan looked around. Her gaze paused briefly when it landed in a specific direction, but she quickly regained her composure.

Ye Wanwan stepped forward and hugged Shen Yi before tilting her head up to plant a kiss on his lips.

"Take care of your work," she said, then lowered her voice deliberately and added, "I will remember to miss you."

Shen Yi held back, but eventually couldn’t resist bending down to kiss Ye Wanwan.

It was a long while before Shen Yi let go of Ye Wanwan. He whispered hoarsely into her ear, "Wanwan, take good care of yourself."

"Mhm," Ye Wanwan nodded, still in a daze.

Shen Yi managed a strained smile, then turned and walked away—his steps were quick as if trying to escape.

After Shen Yi left, Ye Wanwan’s smile faded, and she turned her gaze directly toward someone else.

He Qingyun, sitting to the right and in front of Ye Wanwan, greeted her with a bright smile, waving her hand as she said, "Long time no see, Happy New Year."

Ye Wanwan approached He Qingyun with a cold expression. Standing over her, Ye Wanwan demanded icily, "What are you up to?"

Five minutes earlier, she had glanced over and noticed He Qingyun who had also seen her and smiled at her.

Shen Yi hadn’t noticed He Qingyun, maybe because he was facing away from her and couldn’t see that way, or perhaps because all his attention was on Ye Wanwan.

She didn’t tell Shen Yi as she was worried it would cause him to miss his flight.

He Qingyun smiled innocently, brandishing her boarding pass, "What else can you do at an airport if not catch a plane?"

Ye Wanwan neither affirmed nor denied, but with what had happened the last two times, she found it hard to believe there were so many coincidences.

From the beginning, Ye Wanwan felt there was something creepy about He Qingyun, like a wicked ghost crawling out of the netherworld, instilling fear with a single glance.

After learning about the minor entanglement between Shen Yi and He Qingyun, she thought of it as just another nuisance in Shen Yi’s love life.
