Chapter 140 Ascended to Heaven
"The nightclub has already paid me, are you sure you don't need me to go?" Yunzhi lowered her eyes, casually twirling a strand of hair, her tone joking, "I won't refund your payment if you don't go."
Her voice, as clear as a silver bell, carried a captivating quality.
Ye Chengyan's heart skipped a beat, and his hand gripping the phone tightened little by little, revealing the prominent veins on the back of his hand with its distinct knuckles.
Outside the window, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.
Time seemed to freeze for two seconds at that moment.
It took Ye Chengyan a long time to hear his own voice.
"Miss Yun, rest assured, it was I who went back on my word, so of course I have no face to ask for the payment back."
Yunzhi smiled, her lips curving upwards.
I hope Ye Chengyan will come to me often in the future because I can get paid without doing any work.
After hanging up the phone, Yunzhi stretched and glanced at the time, hesitating whether to call Cheng Shuyan to get her property certificate back, as it would be quite troublesome to replace it.
My brother used to go to bed quite early.
Yunzhi hesitated for two seconds, then finally gave up.
It's not something that's urgent, we can make it tomorrow.
the other side.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chengyan instinctively clutched his heart.
Every time he finished interacting with Yunzhi, he would feel something was wrong with his heart.
It either feels sore and swollen, or it feels like a part of it has been hollowed out, leaving a void.
"Nightclub?"
The subordinate's voice brought Ye Chengyan back to his senses.
He looked at the person behind him with an indifferent expression.
The subordinate nervously swallowed. "Boss Ye, the young master doesn't want to go back with us. He said he wants to go find a pretty auntie. We don't dare to force him to come back, but I noticed the weather outside has changed, and the young master is dressed rather lightly..."
He was worried that the young master was sick.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chengyan's expression turned slightly cold.
He glanced outside; the night was dark, with a chilling wind blowing like a monster. "He's there. Take me there."
Yu Baisu is right. Yunzhi has had a huge influence on Ye Ze and on him. If it's not necessary, it's best to avoid meeting her in the future.
The inexplicable sense of unease that Yunzhi brought him made him want to get closer, yet he was also afraid to get closer.
He raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows, then strode away with his subordinate.
At this moment, inside the Cheng family's old residence.
Because of Amy's dependence on Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuyan ultimately failed to stay at the company all night, and even stayed at the Cheng family's old house, which was quite rare.
midnight.
Cheng Shuyan's bedroom was still brightly lit.
Inside the bedroom, Cheng Shuyan sat on the sofa in her pajamas.
In front of him was a silver laptop. Cheng Shuyan dragged the mouse, looked at the dozen or so emails that had not yet been processed, glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, and sighed softly.
Although I couldn't go to the company to work overtime, I couldn't escape the fate of working overtime to process documents.
Cheng Shuyan rubbed his tired and sore eyes and leaned back on the sofa for a short rest.
Just then, he heard a knock at the door.
The sound was very soft and quiet; if the bedroom hadn't been so quiet, Cheng Shuyan wouldn't have even heard the knock.
Who's knocking on the door in the middle of the night?
When Cheng Shuyan heard the knocking sound, which sounded like a thief, his first thought was that Jiang Ning had done something wrong and was coming over to apologize to him in the middle of the night.
He sneered, stood up, walked to the door, and opened it, only to find the door empty.
Cheng Shuyan frowned, looking puzzled.
Could it be that I misheard?
“Dad…” Amy’s soft voice rang out.
Cheng Shuyan lowered her gaze and saw Amy, who was about the same height as her calves.
Amy was wearing bunny pajamas, holding a white bunny plush toy in one hand and rubbing her red eyes with the other. She was absolutely adorable.
Cheng Shuyan crouched down to be at Amy's eye level, and her voice softened unconsciously.
"Did Amy have a nightmare? Where's your aunt?"
To take care of Amy, the old man arranged for Amy's room to be next to Cheng Shuyan's room. Because Amy was too young, he asked Jiang Ning to stay and sleep with her.
Cheng Shuyan was a little puzzled. Why was Amy here all by herself?
Amy shook her head. "Amy didn't see her aunt."
Where is Jiang Ning?
Where did you go so late at night instead of sleeping in your room?
Luckily, Amy came to find him. If she had run into some corner or bumped into something, things would have been in complete chaos.
"Amy, can't you sleep? Your uncle will tell you a story." Cheng Shuyan carried Amy into his bedroom, carefully placed her on the bed, took off his slippers, and then covered her with a blanket.
Amy clutched the blanket with both hands, blinking as she looked at her uncle.
"Dad, Amy dreamed about Mom."
Cheng Shuyan, who was pondering whether to talk about Sleeping Beauty or Little Red Riding Hood, coughed lightly. He knew that Amy's mother here referred to Yunzhi.
"When summer comes, the pretty auntie will come to find Amy and buy her ice cream."
"But, but summer is still a long way off. My aunt said that summer won't come until Amy is a year older. Can Amy be a year older tomorrow? Amy wants to see her mother."
Amy was tired of the red dress and buried half her face in the blanket.
Cheng Shuyan gritted his teeth. Jiang Ning really had a lot of free time.
"Does Amy really like pretty aunties that much?" Cheng Shuyan ruffled Amy's soft hair, feeling a sense of wonder. Amy was actually a little shy when she came back.
He was somewhat surprised that Amy liked Yunzhi so much after only meeting her once.
Amy nodded emphatically. "Amy loves Mommy. Mommy smells nice, just like Mommy does."
As Amy spoke, her face scrunched up. "But it smells different from Mommy's. Anyway, Amy likes it very much. And Auntie said that after Mommy and Daddy got married, they became Amy's family. Amy likes family."
Amy's eyes sparkled, and her soft, adorable voice revealed her undisguised affection.
Cheng Shuyan, “…”
Jiang Ning is indeed too idle. We need to find her something to do. Since she has been delaying her graduation for so many years, we might as well find her a job.
"Daddy, the teacher said there's a parent-child activity at kindergarten on Monday, and both Mommy and Daddy have to go. Mommy said when she left that Daddy is going to heaven and won't be coming back. So, Daddy and Amy, can you go together?"
Amy, with her innocent and childlike demeanor, had no idea what shocking things she had said.
Cheng Shuyan choked on his saliva, clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, coughing uncontrollably until his face turned red before he finally stopped.
What does the older sister say in front of the children all day long?
They go to heaven and never come back.
Cheng Shuyan knew that her eldest sister and her ex-brother-in-law had a very unpleasant divorce, but she never expected it to have reached the point where they were cursing each other to die.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Amy looked at him with concern.
Cheng Shuyan felt warm all over.
Looking at Amy, who is so sensible, Cheng Shuyan only felt sorry for her for having two unreliable parents.
