Chapter 16 I Let You Go

  • Is he drunk? Is it because of me?
  • An Jingxi's heart ached, but she could only suppress her emotions.
  • "I'm sorry, I don't have time. Since you're his brother, you can take care of him," An Jingxi said coldly and hung up the phone.
  • Siyao listened to the echoing sound of "beep beep beep..." in his ear and reluctantly put down his phone.
  • "What did she say? Did she say she's coming over?" Yan Xin anxiously asked when she saw him not speaking.
  • "She said she has nothing to do with Ye, and she doesn't have time to come over. She told me to take care of him." Siyao looked at the cold Ye still muttering on the sofa and couldn't help shaking his head. "I didn't expect her to answer like this."
  • "I met her once before, and I didn't think she was such a cold-hearted person. Maybe she really has some unavoidable difficulties." When she was at the design company, Yan Xin had a good impression of An Jingxi. She didn't think An Jingxi was that kind of person.
  • "But now, it seems that our CEO Si still has a long way to go to win his wife." Siyao gossiped with a gloating expression.
  • Seeing his gloating expression, Yan Xin rolled her eyes. He was still so gossipy.
  • Knock knock, "Here's the hangover soup." Lanjie walked in with the hangover soup.
  • "Lanjie, please have someone clean up these things and get two people to help me carry this drunkard upstairs." Siyao took the hangover soup handed over by Lanjie and poured it directly into Ye's mouth.
  • "Okay, I'll go right away." Lanjie immediately went to find the cleaning lady and bodyguards.
  • It took a lot of effort for the few of them to help him onto the bed in the room.
  • Yan Xin looked at the cold Ye lying flat on the bed with impatience. "So now, do we just wait for him to wake up like this?"
  • Siyao rolled his eyes in an indecent manner. "What else can we do?"
  • "But that's so boring! Brother Yao, I'm going downstairs to play for a while." Before Siyao could react, Yan Xin had already run out.
  • "Be careful."
  • She's really a crazy girl. Siyao sighed indulgently.
  • Meanwhile, An Jingxi was curled up alone on the sofa at home, lost in thought.
  • Ye, why did you get drunk? Is it because of what I said?
  • How are you now? According to your brother, you've been calling my name. Why are you so foolish?
  • Is it not better to let yourself go? How can someone like me deserve you?
  • An Jingxi felt a gentle drop of water on the back of her hand, and she realized that tears had been streaming down her face without her even realizing it.
  • Leng Ye, I'm sorry, truly sorry.
  • Forget about me, only then will it be good for both of us.
  • Several hours later, Leng Ye finally woke up.
  • Leng Ye patted his slightly sore forehead and looked at Si Yao, who was looking at his phone beside him. "How did I end up here? And why are you here too?"
  • "How do you think I ended up here?" Si Yao looked at Leng Ye helplessly.
  • Seeing that he had woken up, Si Yao immediately called Yan Xin to come over.
  • "How would I know?" Leng Ye's head was still a bit dizzy, and he shook it hard.
  • "Why did you come here to drink alone and scare Lan Jie? We were worried sick. If it weren't for Yan Ning still on the way, he would have been sitting in front of you by now," Si Yao put down his phone and said irritably.
  • "Oh, our CEO Leng is awake?" Yan Xin bounced in, holding a glass of alcohol.
  • After a few hours, Yan Xin's originally proper coat was gone, and the inner layer was pulled down to her collarbone, revealing a faint glimpse of her figure. Her skirt had turned into a mini skirt.
  • "Oh, Xinbao, you should change quickly. Otherwise, when your brother sees you, he'll definitely complain and make you go home," Si Yao immediately stepped forward and draped the coat over Yan Xin's shoulders.
  • "Let him complain when he comes. But, before we talk about me, let's talk about why Leng Ye drank so much," Yan Xin put on the coat and sat down next to Leng Ye.
  • At the mention of this, Leng Ye immediately lowered his head, remaining silent. His whole being exuded a deep sadness.
  • Seeing this, Si Yao and Yan Xin exchanged a glance, and it was Yan Xin who cautiously asked.
  • "Um, we heard you calling out 'Jingxi, An Jingxi' earlier. Who is she? What happened between you two?" Yan Xin gently poked Leng Ye's hand, trying to probe.
  • "It's nothing, you don't need to know," Leng Ye collapsed onto the bed, covering his face with one hand.
  • "Come on, tell us. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one," Yan Xin prodded Leng Ye's hand more insistently.
  • "You can't help me," Leng Ye stared blankly at the ceiling.
  • "How do you know if you don't tell us? As the saying goes, there's nothing I can't solve," Si Yao straightened his chest, believing that there was nothing he couldn't handle.
  • "Yeah, go ahead and tell us. We won't make fun of you," Yanxin changed her tone and said softly.
  • "She got married..." Lengye said lightly, his voice soft but with a heavy weight.
  • Siyao's chest, which had just puffed up, quietly deflated. There were indeed some things he couldn't solve. "There's really no way around this. We can't let Ye become a home-wrecker."
  • Seeing him being so cowardly, Yanxin gave him a disdainful look. "What are you talking about? Is this about being a third party or not?"
  • Siyao was usually competent in medicine, but when it came to familiar faces, he completely lost his mind.
  • What he had said before was, "Life is short, so enjoy it. Be cautious with words at work, but if I continue to be like this in life, it would be so tiring."
  • She had agreed with his viewpoint before, but now she wanted to throw him into the trash can, especially when she heard what he said next. She wished she could strangle him right then and there.
  • "Isn't this about being a third party? If he continues to pursue An Jingxi, wouldn't that be interfering in someone else's marriage? Not only would his image be tarnished, but the Leng Group would also be implicated," Siyao said seriously for once.
  • "I understand. She would have a perfect life with a handsome husband and an adorable, beautiful son. Without me, everything would be wonderful. So, I don't intend to disrupt her anymore," Lengye gazed at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling and spoke softly, tears streaming down his face.
  • Observing his emotional state, Siyao and Yanxin were at a loss for words.
  • During the silent moment shared among the three of them, Siyao suddenly recalled something and hurriedly left. In no time, he returned with a large bundle of alcohol. "Don't worry, we'll keep you company tonight and won't leave until we're all drunk."
  • "That's right, we'll stay with you tonight and won't leave until we're all drunk," Yanxin smiled and took the first sip from her glass.
  • "How can I not join in the drinking?" Before the three of them could start drinking, a voice came from the entrance.
  • "Brother."
  • "Ning, you're here," Lengye looked at the disheveled Yan Ning, unsure of what to say.
  • "Yeah, you don't have to say anything. Tonight, we'll keep you company and won't leave until we're all drunk," Yan Ning discarded his clothes and opened a bottle of wine.
  • "Cheers!" Lengye, Siyao, and the Yan siblings all downed their drinks.
  • An Jingxi, I won't bother you anymore. I'll let you go.
  • But if you're not doing well, I won't hesitate to take you back!
