The second day after Ye Lantian left.
Zhuo Yue couldn't stay at the Ye Family anymore either, making an excuse about work at his company and needing to go back.
He didn't even inform Ye Ningyue once he returned.
That night, when he didn't come back, Ye Ningyue called and only then found out he had gone to South City.
He also said, "You should stay there and keep your grandma company; I'll pick you up after I'm done."
The implication was that if he didn't go to get her, she shouldn't bother coming back.
Hearing this, Ye Ningyue's heart sank halfway.
Sitting alone under the swing in the backyard garden, her face was somber, heavy with gloom.
Sometime later, a cloak unexpectedly appeared around her shoulders; she turned back, coincidentally meeting Ying Qi's deep, sorrowful eyes.
She made room for him, indicating for Ying Qi to sit.
Ying Qi sat down next to her, his voice sounding lightly, "What are you thinking about? You look so unwell."
