Chapter 154 You Are Still Here(1/2)
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lili found that Ye Jiayan was still looking at her.
She wanted to be more confident, but she explained it unconsciously escaped from her lips, "...the law firm colleagues were worried that I wouldn't catch the last ship."
"You really didn't catch up."
Jiang Lili: "..." It hurts heart!
"What did Tang Yu think?" Ye Jiayan's words were full of dissatisfaction, "Leave you a girl on the island?"
Jiang Lili thought for a moment and said, "Luckily Tang Lu asked me to stay!" Her emphasis fell on "I".
"..." Ye Jiayan narrowed his eyes and warned Jiang Lili with his eyes to pass through his brain when speaking.
Jiang Lili ignored the warning and continued to say to herself: "You think, if my colleague was staying, he would not be as lucky as me. He could only stay on the island overnight - it was really miserable!"
“…”
Ye Jiayan knew very well the purpose of Jiang Lili's words - to please him and divert his attention.
She rarely does this.
No matter how much she likes him or whether he feels about her or not, they are equal in life - he respects every thought and decision she makes, and she also knows how to grasp the right position of him.
But sometimes, if you need to say something pleasing to divert his attention, Jiang Lili can achieve his goal in just a few words without making him disgusted.
No--
Not only is it not disgusting, it is also very useful, just like now.
Everyone said that Jiang Lili was stupid.
Little do they know that they don’t understand Jiang Lili enough.
The driver who had just brought the wine came again and said, "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, our yacht is ready to dock."
"We are ready to get off the boat now." Jiang Lili smiled at the young man, "Thank you for your hard work."
The man signaled no politeness and then returned to the cockpit.
More than ten minutes later, the yacht slowly landed, and Jiang Lili left the yacht in the mood of a bird returning home.
When she arrived at the parking lot, she realized that the driver had gone back and Ye Jiayan drove over by herself.
But, it's not right!
Ye Jiayan drove over by himself, and could only start from home or company, so the time he went to the island was wrong.
She waited in the waiting room on the island before Ye Jiayan arrived.
If Ye Jiayan had just driven from the company or home to the dock after knowing that she could not get on the work boat, it would not have been possible to arrive on the island so quickly.
There is only one explanation: when Ye Jiayan called her, he was already waiting for her at the dock.
But he said that Xiao Chen is responsible for picking up and dropping off her today!
Or was his original plan to surprise her?
After getting in the car, Jiang Lili couldn't help but look at Ye Jiayan directly—
Ye Jiayan was sitting in the driver's seat, looking at his phone, feeling Jiang Lili's gaze, without any discomfort, and said:
“There are only fast restaurants nearby, and there is a restaurant seven kilometers away that has a good review.”
"Just go to that house!" Jiang Lili suddenly asked, "Didn't you check the restaurant first?"
"..." Ye Jiayan showed a puzzled expression with slightest expression and looked at Jiang Lili.
"I thought about it. When you called me, the person should have been at the dock." Jiang Lili asked, "You are coming to pick me up, why don't you tell me?"
Ye Jiayan's expression was obviously not so natural.
Of course he could deny it, but in this case, denial has lost its meaning.
"I didn't plan to come."
When the car drove to the fork in the road between going home and going to the dock, Ye Jiayan made a temporary decision - his hand was uncontrollably turned on the steering wheel and let the car drive to the road to the dock.
Jiang Lili snorted proudly and said, "But you came in the end!"
Ye Jiayan handed the phone to Jiang Lili, "Call to the restaurant, you know the phone password."
Jiang Lili knew that Ye Jiayan was changing the topic and did not expose it. She browsed the menu online, found the restaurant and called to order the good dishes first.
The restaurant was between the pier and the villa area. After dinner, the two of them went home directly.
Jiang Lili was traveling outside for a day. When she returned home and relaxed, she felt exhausted. Her calf was sore that she almost twitched, and her head was drowsy. She could fall down and fall asleep at any time.
There was no one at home, only a few lights on the door and living room.
Ye Jiayan looked at the time and it was only 10 minutes before eleven o'clock.
He signaled to Jiang Lili, "Go back to the room to sleep."
Jiang Lili's eyelids were almost closed, but she still insisted on asking: "Where are you?"
“…I’ll make a phone call.”
"oh."
Jiang Lili didn't ask much, and carried her bag and dragged her exhausted body upstairs.
As soon as her figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Ye Jiayan took out a pack of cigarettes and lighters from the drawer and walked outside.
The night is rich, and the entire villa area is shrouded in silence.
With a "click", a cluster of flames jumped out of the lighter and lit the cigarette.
Ye Jiayan doesn't smoke often, and he is not proficient in taking cigarettes or lighting cigarettes, and his smoking movements seem even more unfamiliar.
He suddenly wanted to smoke, just because he needed nicotine now to keep him awake.
After taking a few sips, the phone vibrated, and Song Zichen sent a message-
"Have you been back home?"
"Just arrived." Ye Jiayan replied.
"Driving a yacht to perform a hero saving beauty. Did you move Li Li so much?" Song Zichen sent two smirks and continued, "Tonight is a good opportunity. Don't miss it, seize it!"
After chatting a lot, Ye Jiayan naturally knew what "opportunity" Song Zichen said.
But, no.
He could see that Jiang Lili was so tired that she felt it was difficult to even say a word.
He clamped the burning cigarette between his fingers and typed a word with one hand: Go. Finally, click Send.
"Hmph! If you don't listen to the old driver's words, you will suffer a loss in front of you!" Song Zichen said, "I'll say that, you can do it."
Ye Jiayan thought about it and told Song Zichen: "She was harassed at work in Hengxin. I helped her and she knew."
"You finally said it!!!" Song Zichen was even more excited than the person involved, "What is Li Li's reaction? A hero saves the beauty, and with this matter, did Li Li cry and confess to you?"
Confessing in tears?
Jiang Lili would not do such a thing.
She never felt that liking someone who doesn't like her is a shame for her. So she would just confess her love to him with confidence.
However, this was related to Jiang Lili's privacy, and he could not tell Song Zichen without reservation.
"She found it herself." Ye Jiayan said, "Singing and letting go.
After almost half a minute, Song Zichen replied: "Your assistant is very good. Just have half of your assistant's skills."
Ye Jiayan narrowed his eyes and realized this possibility: Zhou Yangsheng might have done it on purpose.
"Don't let down my expectations and your assistant." Song Zichen urged, "Go and get Li Li!"
After Ye Jiayan and Song Zichen finished chatting, when they locked the screen of their phone, a small piece of ashes had accumulated.
He dusted off the ashes, turned off the cigarette, turned around and walked back to the house as the night spreading into the house, and went straight to the second floor.
Jiang Lili's door was open, without any sound.
Ye Jiayan walked in and found that Jiang Lili was not in the room, and the bathroom door was closed. She should be in the bathroom, but there was no sound inside.
He waited for a while, but didn't hear anything. He couldn't help but frown, walked over and knocked on the bathroom door, "Jiang Lili?"
"..." Jiang Lili did not respond.
"You don't make a sound, I'll go in."
Ye Jiayan knew that if Jiang Lili could hear him speak, his words would scare her to jump up.
However, after five seconds, Jiang Lili did not respond.
Ye Jiayan no longer hesitated and pushed open the door and saw Jiang Lili lying in the bathtub. The rich white foam covered her body, her shoulders were exposed on the water surface, and her head was wrapped with a water-absorbing towel.
She was taking a bath, but she was asleep.
Ye Jiayan barely stopped and held the door handle with his right hand suddenly exerted force, almost pulling the door handle down.
He had no idea for a moment and could not move forward or retreat, so he could only stare at the bathroom door.
