Chapter 327: Bring Her Back (1/4)
Yang Chen chased after her, but he didn't see any sign of Ye Xin, only Wei Xueqing standing in front of his car, anxiously pacing around.
"Where's Ye Xin?" Yang Chen ran up and hurriedly asked.
As soon as Wei Xueqing saw Yang Chen, she was filled with anger and threw her bag at him, yelling, "Yang Chen, you bastard!"
Yang Chen let Wei Xueqing hit him, standing there without dodging, staring straight at her.
Seeing Yang Chen like this, Wei Xueqing felt a little reluctant to continue. She stopped and scolded, "Yang Chen, I'm so disappointed in you! When Ye Xin came out earlier, why didn't you chase after her? Now we can't find her anywhere!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen furrowed his brows tightly.
"Didn't she come with you just now?" Yang Chen asked.
Wei Xueqing took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and shook her head, "No, we each drove here separately and ran into each other at the parking lot entrance. When I came out just now, Ye Xin was already gone, and now I don't know where she went."
Yang Chen looked around blankly yet couldn't find any trace of Ye Xin.
"Yang Chen…" Wei Xueqing hesitated a bit, then fixated on Yang Chen and said, "It was Sun Xiaoting who called us here. Her purpose in coming might have been for us to see that scene. No matter what you're thinking or how you view your feelings with her and Ye Xin, I hope you can face it rationally. Honestly… I don't believe you're the type of man who thinks with his lower half…"
In Wei Xueqing's mind, Yang Chen should be a composed, magnanimous, calm, and extremely self-disciplined man, not someone who could be seduced once a woman took off her clothes.
Although what Wei Xueqing saw today was disappointing, she still held onto some hope in her heart.
"You're a smart person; you should understand after thinking it over." Wei Xueqing said, "So, don't be confused by Sun Xiaoting. She doesn't really like you; she's just using you. Or she feels like you've slipped away from her and wants to reel you back… She's not the person you truly want. The one you should really care about is Ye Xin."
As she said these words, Wei Xueqing couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling a wave of sadness inside.
But she had to say these things because Ye Xin was her best friend.
"Don't worry, as long as you sincerely admit your mistake, I'll help you. After finding Ye Xin, I'll help persuade her. You also need to show sincerity in apologizing to her. I think… Ye Xin loves you so much; she should forgive you." When Wei Xueqing said this, her eyes filled with tears.
"Maybe you don't know, but I see it very clearly." Wei Xueqing said, "Ye Xin is usually a very cold person… the kind who rarely shows such a bright smile to others… Only with you; I've only seen her give that bright smile to you. As Ye Xin's best friend for so many years, whether in Ningchuan or the Northern Federation, she always had a cold face when outside, with sharp eyes, as if keeping her guard up. She was only slightly more relaxed with me; although she would smile, I could tell it wasn't a genuine smile, just smiling for the sake of it. But with you, it's different; when she sees you, she smiles brightly, a genuine smile and happiness from the heart. Seeing her like that, I understood… she has truly fallen in love with you, has actually encountered love. So… no matter what, please don't give up on Ye Xin… or rather, please muster all your sincerity and heart to win Ye Xin back."
Yang Chen listened dumbfoundedly, recalling all the little moments he shared with Ye Xin.
"Honey, I finally found you!"
"Let's get married!"
"Marry you, Yang Chen… be my husband!"
"Shall we have a spontaneous encounter?"
"Honey, help me with my buttons…"
...
Tiny bits and pieces emerged from the depths of his heart, and all Yang Chen saw in front of him was Ye Xin's radiant smile.
Wei Xueqing wiped away her tears, showing a somewhat bittersweet smile and said, "Yang Chen, no matter how much of a bastard you are, I am willing to give you another chance to win Ye Xin back; don't let her down, otherwise even I won't forgive you!"
Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing and said to her, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find her and bring her back!"
"Then hurry up! I'll also look in the places Ye Xin frequently visits and give you a call if I find her." Wei Xueqing took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said.
Yang Chen nodded and turned around to leave.
After taking two steps, Yang Chen stopped, turned around, and stared at Wei Xueqing, "Sometimes, what you see isn't the truth."
"What?" Wei Xueqing stared at Yang Chen in confusion.
Yang Chen said, "I said, sometimes what you see isn't the truth. If I really were that kind of person, you are a hundred times better than Sun Xiaoting. If I truly wanted to, I wouldn't have been so disciplined when I was in Lancy Country. Actually, I didn't want to explain, but because you are my friend and Ye Xin's best friend, I genuinely appreciate all that you've done for us. So, there are certain things I feel you'd better know."
Wei Xueqing stared blankly at Yang Chen.
"When it comes to reading people, I'm way better than you. From the time we've spent together to the business deals I've helped you with, I've seen things more accurately than you. I told you before, as a guard, as someone who's been on the battlefield, my reconnaissance ability is very strong, and I can see what kind of person someone is at a glance. I also see Sun Xiaoting very clearly. When she called me, I already knew what she wanted to discuss today, but I still agreed to meet her. Because I felt it necessary to clarify things and cut off our ties. After all, I'm married; it's not the time for adolescent ambiguity, so there's really no need to keep things unclear."
Wei Xueqing gave a self-mocking smile and stared at Yang Chen, "So you're saying you came today just to clear things up with Sun Xiaoting? But why did you tear off her clothes? If we hadn't arrived a bit earlier, would your happy event have been complete? Or, are you complaining that we ruined your good moment?"
Yang Chen frowned, staring at Wei Xueqing and said, "Don't just look at the surface; the real thing is always hidden behind what you see."
He suddenly didn't want to explain so much to Wei Xueqing anymore, feeling it's pointless.
What he needed to do now was to find Ye Xin. Perhaps Ye Xin, like him, has strong reconnaissance skills, but that doesn't mean her vision can't be clouded by emotions.
Those who are involved can be confused, while onlookers see clearly; no one can escape their own cage.
Right now, the most urgent thing is to explain everything clearly to Ye Xin.
If he lost Ye Xin because of Sun Xiaoting...
A gleam of cold light flickered in Yang Chen's eyes as he strode out.
