"Oh, I'm fine! I'm fine!" Yu Xiao waved his hands quickly, his heart beating nervously.
Knowing that she had been worried recently, Shen Yimo did not continue to ask and continued to concentrate on driving his car.
The blind date was held in a revolving restaurant, which was the highest place in the city. Sitting in the restaurant, one could not only see the sea in the distance, but also the whole city, which made people feel relaxed. When Shen Yimo and Yu Xiao walked in together, the other party had already arrived. She was 1.75 meters tall, with fair skin, delicate and beautiful facial features, and an amazing figure.
Shen Yimo shook hands with her politely, then helped Yu Xiao pull out a seat and let her sit down first.
"Mr. Shen, who is this?" Seeing Shen Yi Mo's caring actions towards Yu Xiao, the beautiful woman couldn't help but speak.
"Sorry, she's my girlfriend!" Shen Yimo was very direct and got straight to the point.
The beautiful woman's expression changed. Although she wanted to grab Shen Yimo, she couldn't remain indifferent to such an answer no matter how strong her willpower was.
"Mr. Shen, since you have a girlfriend, why did you agree to come see me?"
"I'm also very sorry. I had no choice but to do this because of my family's pressure! I hope you can understand!" Shen Yimo apologized to the other party sincerely.
The other party looked at Shen Yimo in silence for two or three seconds, gritted his teeth, and finally stood up with his bag. He glared at the two people fiercely, and left the restaurant without looking back.
Yu Xiao didn't say a word from beginning to end. Seeing the beautiful woman walk out of the restaurant angrily, she finally felt relieved. Looking at Shen Yimo next to her, she asked worriedly, "She won't come back, will she?"
Shen Yimo smiled, stood up and sat opposite her: "Don't worry! She won't come back!" After saying that, he waved to the waiter not far away, and the waiter immediately came over and handed over the menu.
Knowing that Yu Xiao didn't have a good appetite right now, Shen Yimo ordered some light dishes and asked the waiter to leave.
"Xiaoxiao, you've been at Uncle Ming's place for a month. Now tell me, how is it going? Is there anything happy you can share with me?"
Yu Xiao looked at him and smiled. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shen Yimo's phone ringing. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and looked at him a little worriedly: "Is it your parents calling? It looks like you are in trouble!"
Shen Yimo smiled, picked up the phone on the table and looked at it. After a slight hesitation, he answered the call: "Hello... I'm having dinner with friends in the restaurant. Have you eaten? I will be home in two hours. You can call me again then. That's it for now. Bye!"
At first, Yu Xiao thought it was Shen Yimo's parents calling to ask about his blind date, but after seeing his expression and listening to what he said, he realized it was not the case.
There was still no one talking on the phone. Shen Yimo hung up the phone and smiled at the number on the phone.
"Why do I feel like you were the only one talking on the phone the whole time?" Judging from the speed at which he spoke just now, the person on the phone didn't say anything at all.
Shen Yimo handed the phone directly to Yu Xiao, pointed at the number on it and answered in confusion: "This woman is very strange. I don't know where she got my phone number from four months ago, and she started calling me. Sometimes it's at night, sometimes in the morning, the time is completely irregular, and what's even more strange is that she never said a word on the phone, not even a word. Don't you think it's strange?"
Hearing Shen Yimo's words, Yu Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Since she didn't say a word, how can you conclude that she is a woman?"
"Because she cried when she called me for the first time. Although I couldn't see her expression, I could tell that she was crying very sadly. I thought she was someone who wanted to commit suicide, so I randomly dialed a number, looking for someone to talk to. So I kept chatting with her and told her not to get depressed. But the more I talked, the harder she cried. In the end, she hung up the phone. I called back immediately, but her phone was turned off..."
Yu Xiao felt her heart skip a beat. She stared at Shen Yimo nervously and asked, "What happened next?"
"Since then, she has called me every once in a while, but she never said a word each time, and she turned off her phone after each call. I once asked someone to check the number, and it turned out to be from another place, and because it was not a real-name system, there was no way to find out who the other party was."
"Can't we now locate the location where the other party is calling? The police should be able to help you find it, right?" Yu Xiao looked at him tentatively.
Shen Yimo smiled: "She calls at irregular times every few days, and she turns off her phone after the calls. Besides, she's not a bad person. She might just want to vent herself in this way. There's no need for me to call the police for this!"
"Then don't you hate her? She always harasses you like this?"
Shen Yimo shook his head and answered with a narcissistic smile: "I don't know why, I don't hate her at all. I always feel like she seems to know me. Maybe I'm too handsome, so she is secretly in love with me? Sometimes she calls me in the middle of the night, and I chat with her, sometimes talk about today's weather, sometimes talk to her about Mingyao..."
"Ahem..." Yu Xiao was completely choked by Shen Yimo's words, staring at him in surprise: "You, you talked to her about Sister Yaoyao?"
"Yeah!" Shen Yimo smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Are you surprised? I think this is a way to vent, but the interesting thing is that every time I talk to her about Mingyao, she will listen to me very quietly. Don't you think it's interesting?"
Yu Xiao listened to Shen Yimo's words, looked down at the milk on the table, picked it up and took a sip, and when she took it away, she deliberately tilted the glass cup, and the milk in the cup spilled on her collar. She immediately slammed the cup on the table, hurriedly took out the necklace around her neck, and then wiped the milk off her body with the tissue handed by Shen Yimo.
Yu Xiao was wearing a white T-shirt today. When he took out the dark wooden pendant, it instantly caught Shen Yimo's sight. His body stiffened instantly, his eyes fixed on the necklace.
"Xiao... Xiaoxiao, where did you get this sunflower necklace?"
"Oh, this is a gift from Uncle Ming! Why do you look like that? Isn't it beautiful?" Looking at Shen Yimo's expression, Yu Xiao knew that the necklace worked, and smiled at him as if nothing had happened.
"Can... you lend it to me... to have a look?" Shen Yimo stared at the necklace, unable to move his eyes away.
"Okay, OK!" Yu Xiao reached out and took off the necklace and handed it to Shen Yimo.
Shen Yimo slowly brought the necklace in front of his eyes, his lips moved excitedly, and his whole body was instantly immersed in memories of the past.
"Shen Yimo... are you okay?"
Shen Yimo touched the wooden sunflower with his fingers, and a bitter smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "If I remember correctly... this necklace was given to Yaoyao by her mother when she was divorcing Uncle Ming. Yaoyao has always treasured it like a treasure. Every time she misses her mother, she takes it out to look at the necklace. I remember when I was young, I was ignorant and laughed at her, saying that this necklace was so ugly... But she has been wearing it until she grew up..." Shen Yimo choked up when he said this, and immediately gave Yu Xiao a forced smile: "Xiaoxiao... can you... lend it to me for two days?"
“Hmm…” Seeing how uncomfortable he looked, Yu Xiao nodded immediately.
"Thank you!" Shen Yimo smiled apologetically and held the necklace tightly in his hand.
"Shen Yimo... Can I ask you a question?"
"Well, ask!" Shen Yimo put the necklace away and looked up at Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao thought about it and looked at him nervously: "If... I mean if... Sister Yaoyao didn't die in that car accident, but she became blind or disfigured... would you still love her as much as you do now?"
Shen Yimo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This assumption is not true at all..."
"I know it's not true, but I still want to know your answer. Will you still like her and love her as much as before and marry her without hesitation? Will you no longer like her as much as before just because she became blind or disfigured? After all, in your heart, she is a perfect image!"
Shen Yimo thought for a moment and answered her seriously, “Not to mention that she is disfigured and blind, even if she is a vegetable…” Shen Yimo pressed his brows uncomfortably and looked up at Yu Xiao, “As long as she is still alive… I just hope she is still alive… Even if she doesn’t say a word to me, as long as I can see her… But… There is no if in this world… When she had a car accident half a year ago, I was still abroad. After receiving a call from Uncle Ming, I immediately rushed back, but it was too late… I didn’t even see her for the last time…” Shen Yimo was so uncomfortable that he couldn’t say anything anymore. He raised his hands to cover his face and calmed down for a long time. Only then did he look at Yu Xiao and forced a smile, “Oh, I made you laugh again. Forget it, let’s not talk about her. You are pregnant now, so let’s talk about you and Kang Shaonan!”
"Shen Yimo, actually Sister Yaoyao..." Yu Xiao mustered up the courage to tell her about Mingyao, but was interrupted by Shen Yimo just after she said a little.
"Let's not talk about Yaoyao tonight. Xiaoxiao, you don't really want to divorce Shaonan, do you?"
After hearing what Shen Yimo said, Yu Xiao lowered her head in confusion: "I don't know either..." Originally, she was determined to divorce Kang Shaonan and give him and An Jingya happiness, but after seeing the photo in the afternoon and listening to An An's words, she began to become undecided.
Shen Yimo smiled when he heard her words: "Kang Shaonan came to the company to chat with me this afternoon. Do you know what he talked to me about?"
Yu Xiao shook his head silently.
"He's a grown man, a soldier at that. He was forced by you to the point where he couldn't think of any solution, so he bought a bottle of Erguotou and went to the company to drink with me. Xiaoxiao, to be honest with you, I looked down on him a little when I first met him, because you were obviously married at that time, but he told me that he was your boyfriend. I thought at the time, he's still a soldier, and he didn't even dare to admit his identity as a husband. But later I found out that it was because you didn't let others tell about your relationship. Later, I had more contact with him and got to know him a little bit, especially this kidnapping, which completely changed my view of him. He is a soldier. Although he can't be with you like an ordinary man, he loves you very much! Xiaoxiao, answer me a question, do you think Kang Shaonan is good to you?" (To be continued)
