Ye Ling and Liu Nan were getting along quite well, while over at Ye Qian's side, she had been on the run for several days, until all hope seemed lost. Only then did she quiet down, as if her soul had been extracted. She was dazed, and it took several exchanges to bring her back to reality. The Liu Family simply claimed they weren't feeling well and went out to recuperate. Clearly, they were disappointed in their son.
Ye Qian still had to go to work every day, facing her colleagues' concerns, which felt grating, as if they were ridiculing her. Yet she had to force a smile and socialize. Though there was nothing to do at work each day, she felt extraordinarily exhausted.
After enduring until the end of the workday, she heard someone looking for her outside. Ye Qian stepped out, saw the person standing there, and after a long moment asked, "Si Daochen?"
Yes, he was dressed in a suit, and it took Ye Qian a while to recognize him.
