Chapter 357 He's Looking for Her
"Young Madam, what are you thinking about? The porridge is getting cold." Aunt Wu couldn't help but step forward and say when she saw Yue Yirou staring blankly.
Yue Yirou snapped out of her daze and looked up at Aunt Wu: "It's nothing, Aunt Wu. Has Butler Xue contacted you recently?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wu's face showed a hint of sadness, and she shook her head, saying, "No, does the young mistress have something to discuss with Ah Tao?"
"No, I was just asking casually." Yue Yirou lowered her eyes.
She wanted to know if Yan Ye already knew she was here. If he did, he could just ask Xue Tao and the others; they might not tell her.
Yan Ye, do you already know?
After finishing breakfast and returning to her room, Yue Yirou was still wondering if Yan Ye already knew about her time in Singapore.
She was afraid he would come and take her back.
As Yan Ye had anticipated, even if he told Yue Yirou that he believed the child was his, she wouldn't believe him. She would only think that he was deliberately saying that to trick her into going back.
Yan Ye's anxious, suspicious, and unpredictable nature had taken deep root in her heart.
Yue Yirou stared at Yan Ye's photo in the album, sighed softly, and asked him again and again in her heart if he already knew that she was here.
Better safe than sorry. For the sake of the baby in her womb, it would be better for her to leave.
After thinking for a while, Yue Yirou put away the photo album and went out of the room to find Aunt Wu.
"Young Madam, how much money do you need?"
When Aunt Wu heard Yue Yirou say she needed money, she didn't even ask what she needed the money for, but directly asked how much she needed.
In her opinion, this is normal; what girl doesn't like to shop?
She felt that Yue Yirou was already quite frugal.
Yue Yirou told Aunt Wu a number, and Aunt Wu immediately went to the accounting office and got several stacks of money for her.
Now that we have money, the next step is to find a chance to escape.
Here, she has complete freedom of movement, making it much easier for her to escape than in the Starry Night Pavilion.
Yue Yirou plans to find a chance to escape when she goes out to buy things tomorrow.
That night, before going to bed, she couldn't help but call Xue Tao to ask about Yan Ye's situation.
When Xue Tao received her call, he was in Yan Ye's study. She urged him to go back to his room to rest and also advised him to go to Singapore to bring Yue Yirou back.
Acheng and Zhang Qier were also in the study, reporting to Yan Ye on the situation regarding the fight against Heifeng.
Upon seeing that it was Yue Yirou calling, Xue Tao, without Yan Ye needing to say anything, tactfully turned on speakerphone.
"Butler Xue." Yue Yirou's soft and gentle voice rang out in the room.
Yan Ye felt both warm and familiar, yet also as if he were in another world.
He missed her so much.
"Young Madam, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet? You're pregnant now, you should rest early and don't stay up late. The young master is fine, you don't need to worry about him."
"Is Ye... is he really okay?" Yue Yirou's tone was hesitant.
Yan Ye frowned slightly. The next second, he picked up a pen and quickly wrote a line on the paper. Before Xue Tao could answer Yue Yirou's question, he showed it to him: Tell her that I have finished my work and am frantically searching for her all over the world.
Xue Tao is a very smart person. After reading it, he instantly understood the meaning of Yue Yirou's words.
"Young Master isn't actually doing too well. But don't worry, judging from his current condition, he won't end up like your uncle," Xue Tao replied to Yue Yirou.
Not very good...
What do you mean?
"Isn't Ye busy with work all day now?"
"The work is all done, and the young master is now..." Xue Tao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"How is he now? Is he refusing to eat again?"
"It's not that he refuses to eat, but rather, he's been using all his connections to frantically search for you."
"..."
The fact that he's looking for her means he doesn't yet know she's in Singapore.
Yue Yirou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Butler Xue, did he interrogate you about my whereabouts?"
"Yes, but he didn't interrogate me. I wasn't involved in the matter, and the young master thought I didn't know. He only interrogated Acheng and Qi'er. Acheng and Qi'er said they only helped you leave Xingye Pavilion and didn't know where you went. Acheng and Qi'er are still kneeling in the hall, kneeling since after dinner. Young Madam, don't worry, I will plead for them. The young master will only make them kneel for one night at most; he won't torture them."
Xue Tao was a master liar, his lies were flawless.
Yan Ye gave him a satisfied look, and Acheng and Zhang Qier gave him a thumbs up.
It seems that Yan Ye really doesn't know she's in Singapore.
Yue Yirou was completely relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Tao couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Fortunately, the young master was there; otherwise, he would have made another mistake.
Yan Ye looked up at him and said, "Uncle Xue, after hearing what A-Cheng and Qi'er said, you should now know why I didn't go to pick up Yi Rou, right?"
Xue Tao nodded: "I understand. Young Master, I won't urge you to go to Singapore to pick up the Young Madam until Black Wind is completely eliminated. But Young Master, there's something you have to promise me: you can't go into battle personally. If you don't agree, I'll tell the Young Madam about it."
"..." Yan Ye glared coldly at Xue Tao.
How dare you threaten him?
"Okay, I promise you."
After that, Yue Yirou never had any more thoughts of running away and focused on her pregnancy.
Every evening after dinner, Xue Tao would call her to tell her about Yan Ye's situation.
Of course, every time he called Yue Yirou, he did so in front of Yan Ye, using speakerphone.
Winter has passed and spring has arrived; in the blink of an eye, spring has come when all things revive.
Jinglu Garden in M City was immersed in a desolate and oppressive atmosphere.
In the hall, Li Jing sat on the sofa, his usual amiable demeanor gone, his face stern as he glared angrily at the disheveled woman in front of him—Li Xintong.
Yue Xintong has now changed her name to Li Xintong.
Li Xintong was kneeling on the floor, her clothes disheveled, her face flushed with the afterglow of passion.
Lu Tingyun stood to the side with his hands at his sides, expressionless.
He Peirong was also kneeling on the floor, hugging Li Jing's leg and crying as she begged him to spare Li Xintong.
"Brother Jing, please forgive Xintong this time, considering she's young and naive. I'll definitely discipline her properly in the future."
Li Xintong was caught having an affair with one of the assassins, Hei Feng, by Li Jing, and Lu Tingyun tipped them off.
"Get out of my way!" Li Jing kicked He Peirong aside and pointed at Li Xintong, angrily shouting, "Since the battle with 'Blue Flame,' we've suffered repeated defeats. I've never understood why the people I've trained have become so incompetent. Now, I finally know why, and I finally understand why even without a bride price, Young Master Wu still wouldn't marry you. How could I, Li Jing, a man of great wisdom, have such a shameless and dissolute stupid daughter like you?"
Li Xintong, instead of feeling ashamed when Li Jing scolded her like that, didn't even think she was wrong. She retorted, "How can you blame me? I have your blood flowing in my veins. Even if I'm promiscuous, it's all because of you."
