After Ye Mi and Qiao Yan landed, they went to the company's office to get the next shift schedule. As soon as they entered the office, they saw that everyone was talking about something, but suddenly they stopped talking. The two were a little puzzled, but there was always a lot of gossip in the company, and they didn't intend to bother with these boring things anymore.
When she was about to go out, she saw the dispatcher coming in hurriedly, "Make adjustments quickly. He Xiaoning's tasks for the next stage have been cancelled. The more staffing is tight, the more likely she is to get pregnant. You did it on purpose, didn't you?" After saying that, he glanced at Qiao Yan and Ye Mi and walked out.
Qiao Yan looked at Ye Mi, "Why is she looking at me like that?" But as she spoke, she saw that Ye Mi was also staring at her, his eyes motionless.
"He Xiaoning is pregnant." Ye Mi repeated.
Qiao Yan frowned slightly, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "You don't think that child is mine." He got angry when he saw her expression. It was obvious that she suspected that he had got someone else pregnant. "Ye Mi, you are really unreasonable!" He turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey!" Ye Mi stopped him, "What are you thinking about?" She pulled him out and hurriedly pushed him into the elevator, "Didn't you understand? He Xiaoning is pregnant, but she's divorced."
Qiao Yan didn't say anything. His heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. He felt pity and resentment. At that moment, he even wondered if this was retribution for this woman. She had abandoned him so ruthlessly at that time, and now all the misfortunes had come upon her. Qiao Yan hugged his shoulders and looked at Ye Mi, "This is Lin Pei's business. We should stay out of it."
Ye Mi lowered her head and slowly hugged Qiao Yan's waist, "In fact, He Xiaoning should be content. Lin Pei is really a good man." This is really Ye Mi's true feeling. How much courage and perseverance it takes to be able to love someone who doesn't love you at all without caring about gains and losses like Lin Pei.
But Qiao Yan was a little unhappy. He put his arm around her shoulders and said, "When did you start to have feelings for Lin Pei? How come he is a good man?" His hand tightened with some jealousy.
Ye Mi didn't think about that. She just lay in Qiao Yan's arms, "We talked once in Liverpool..." Ye Mi was a little melancholy, "I hope they can get back together."
"What did you say?"
Ye Mi shuddered and quickly pulled out of his arms, turning away from his face. She was afraid that her expression would reveal her emotions. "I didn't say anything."
Qiao Yan narrowed his eyes and tilted his head to look at Ye Mi. He touched his chin and said, "Why do I feel like I'm being plotted against? Tell me, quickly, what did you talk about?" Qiao Yan came closer and insisted on asking for mercy, but the elevator suddenly opened. The two men put away their forms and turned around to see Lin Pei standing outside, but he didn't come in.
"Lin Pei?" Ye Mi looked at him curiously. He just stood there and didn't come in.
"I didn't call for the elevator. I wanted to go up." Lin Pei could see that the two people's faces were still filled with joy and happiness, and he felt a little comforted. These days were really good days for him, and good news came one after another. He might soon participate in the competition for the instructor, and just now he got another piece of news that made him even more excited, that is, He Xiaoning was pregnant.
Lin Pei went upstairs and had made an appointment with He Xiaoning in advance. He Xiaoning had never thought that something more tragic than divorce would happen to her. She stood in front of the glass curtain wall of the lobby, watching the planes taking off and landing outside. She kept wondering, what's so good about it, Qiao Yan is like this, Lin Pei is like this, and Ye Mi is also like this. Thinking of Ye Mi, she also felt unhappy in her heart, but she had no reason to blame her, after all, she was the one who gave up first.
Lin Pei was standing behind her, looking at her back against the light. The silhouette in front of him was still so beautiful, so beautiful that he couldn't bear to disturb her. He walked forward slowly, "Xiaoning!"
He Xiaoning slowly turned around, glanced at him and turned away. He didn't know what he was thinking, perhaps guilt, fear, or disdain.
"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" she asked lightly. She looked up at him and immediately lowered her head again.
Lin Pei was full of doubts. He felt that he had never understood the woman in front of him. Facing such a big thing, she could still ask such a question so calmly, "Of course it's the child, what else can I ask? Xiaoning, stop making trouble, let's go home, you should see clearly that Qiao Yan will never look back."
He Xiaoning stroked her hair, "Lin Pei, we no longer have a home, we are divorced." She shook her head helplessly, "You signed with me so straightforwardly, I don't understand why you are telling me this now, there is no love between us, don't force yourself anymore."
Lin Pei was a little annoyed, "He Xiaoning, how can you be such a cruel woman? We have lived together for three years, and you are pregnant with my child now, and you actually say that there is no love between us." He drooped the railing in front of him fiercely, then held it tightly, and the white knuckles showed his anger and sadness at the moment.
He Xiaoning took a look and tears welled up in her eyes, but she took a deep breath and held it back, "Lin Pei, we really have nothing to talk about. This child has nothing to do with you, really." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave regardless of Lin Pei's dark face, but he grabbed her arm.
"What did you say? Are you saying this child isn't mine?" His grip became stronger and stronger. He Xiaoning felt some pain. She frowned and tried to shake him off, but Lin Pei had no intention of letting her go. He held his arms with both hands and said, "Tell me clearly, Qiao Yan's? Everyone says that you two are in Miami..."
"Lin Pei, you are such a bastard. We are already divorced, you have no right to blame me like this!" After saying that, she broke free from his restraints and ran away.
Lin Pei felt infinitely lost. He stared at her back blankly, as if a glass cup suddenly broke in his heart. He slowly turned around, looked at the planes taking off and landing outside, and slowly lowered his arms. In fact, he was stupid. Getting her favor was simply an unrealistic fantasy of his. He suddenly felt relaxed, and all the depression in his heart disappeared at once. Those love, those hate, those resentments, those jealousies, turned out to be his obsessions. What did he get in these years? It turned out that he had nothing except pain.
The company was not a suitable place to discuss things. The next day, as soon as Ye Mi came to work, Bai Tingting came to her side. Because of the love letter incident, this woman had always been a little resentful of her. She was pretending to be the girl of destiny, which made her look very embarrassed. Later, she didn't know how everyone knew about it. In her heart, she was sure that it was Ye Mi who told it, without a doubt.
"Ye Mi, Ye Mi." Bai Tingting followed Ye Mi's footsteps, "Do you know that Lin Pei and He Xiaoning had an argument in the upstairs hall yesterday, and He Xiaoning said that the child was not Lin Pei's."
Ye Mi paused for a moment, then walked forward as if nothing had happened, "Really? You're really nosy, did you see it?"
"You just found out? I saw it with my own eyes, and many people saw it too." Bai Tingting was a little unwilling, "Why don't you ask whose child it is?"
Ye Mi stopped and turned to face Bai Tingting. "If you want to say it's Qiao Yan's, then I know. You have achieved your goal. Even if you saw it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears, I would not believe it." Ye Mi's eyes skipped over Bai Tingting's shoulders and saw the person standing not far behind her. "Even if it is true, then I am her wife. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will handle it myself. I don't allow you to slander my Qiao Yan casually. I am not lying here, otherwise I will be rude."
Bai Tingting was still a little apprehensive after Ye Mi said this. After all, Ye Mi was a favorite of Mrs. He. If she said a few gossips about him, she would be in trouble. "Forget it, I just want to remind you that you have to keep an eye on your husband." After saying that, she turned around and left.
He Xiaoning looked at Ye Mi from a distance, and Ye Mi did not avoid her gaze. He Xiaoning lowered her head, gently stroked her hair, and slowly walked over, "Can we talk?"
Ye Mi looked at her and nodded after a long time, "Let's go out and find a quiet place to talk. I don't want to cause any more disputes in the company." After that, he turned around and walked towards the airport gate.
He Xiaoning didn't expect Ye Mi to appear in front of her with such a tough attitude. She took a deep breath and followed Ye Mi's footsteps. She hoped that she could muster up the courage to fight for a chance to be happy. In the past, she was always passively waiting for others to attack. Now she only had Qiao Yan as her life-saving straw, and she didn't want to wait for others to give her happiness.
Ye Mi ordered himself a cup of green tea, but He Xiaoning asked for a cup of coffee.
"You can't drink coffee, it's not good for the baby!" Ye Mi quickly stopped her, but He Xiaoning ignored her. She smiled faintly, "It's going to be taken away anyway, it doesn't matter." After saying that, she picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
Ye Mi sat there staring at her blankly. How cruel must a mother be to talk about killing her own child so lightly and absent-mindedly? She became more and more uneasy in her heart, wondering if she had also made the decision to intervene in her life.
"leaf… "
"Don't call me that, call me Ye Mi." Ye Zi was what Qiao Yan called him. When He Xiaoning heard it from her mouth, she instinctively felt a little repulsed.
He Xiaoning was a little embarrassed. She smiled, still her typical gentleness. "I heard that you and Qiao Yan have always been in name only..." She paused, "Ye Mi, you can actually pursue your own happiness."
Ye Mi smiled awkwardly. She looked at He Xiaoning's face, her eyes clearly weak. "I am pursuing my happiness now, and we are very happy. He Xiaoning, I know you may feel wronged. You didn't leave Qiao Yan willingly back then, but that was your own choice. You chose to be cowardly. You chose to hurt him to protect yourself. You chose Lin Pei, so you no longer have a chance."
He Xiaoning's hand holding the coffee shook violently, and the coffee spilled out. She looked at Ye Mi in horror, "You won't tell Qiao Yan about this, will you?"
Ye Mi didn't know how to understand her panic at the moment. She thought for a moment and said, "This is your privacy. If you think Qiao Yan should know, then you should tell Qiao Yan. I don't have the right to do so."
He Xiaoning seemed to be relieved. She thanked him in a low voice and asked, "How did you know?" Then she smiled bitterly, "It must have been Lin Pei who told you. He is still like this. He will do anything to achieve his goal."
"You are really wrong. He never wanted to give up on you, but you have been doing meaningless things. No matter what your difficulties are, I will not give up on Qiao Yan. I have been with him for so long and suffered so much. I have no reason to give up my happiness. If you really insist on doing it, then I will accompany you to the end." After saying that, she took out a hundred-dollar bill and put it under the cup. She stood up to leave, but was stopped by He Xiaoning, "Don't you want to know how I know your secret?"
Ye Mi took a deep breath, she looked down at her, and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I don't want to know." This was a secret between her and Qiao Yan. Sometimes there was no need to explore the answers to some things. Waiting for others to say it would only add to the sadness. Why bother
But this was like a huge rock pressing heavily on Ye Mi's heart.
