"Your expression tells me that something must have happened! If you still want me to send someone to protect you after you get here, then tell me the truth! " Ye Zimo's expression was cold because she was talking to Mo Xiaonong. Her tone wasn't strict, but the meaning of his words scared her.
If she did not say anything, she would immediately be kicked out of the house. Then wouldn't she be finished?
Sis, don't blame me. I have to say it.
With that in mind, she decided to tell Ye Zimo everything about Yu Shanshan's text message.
She had thought that Ye Zimo would fly into a rage as soon as she finished speaking. Unexpectedly, his expression turned extremely calm.
Thank god she lightly caressed her heart and carefully asked Ye Zimo: "Brother Zimo, you won't be angry with my sister, right? She actually loves you a lot! "
"No, I can see that you're still awake, let's go back to sleep."
"Then let's make an agreement. You really shouldn't be angry. The two of you shouldn't get into an awkward situation. I feel tired just from looking at it." After Ye Zimo nodded her head, Mo Xiaonong yawned and walked to the door. She then heard Ye Zimo say, "Don't tell Xia Yihan that you told me about this. Also, don't worry. I did not ask people to stop investigating that case." "Yu Shanshan can't threaten your safety, but you have to be careful too."
Mo Xiaonong was pleased to hear that Ye Zimo was still so concerned for her safety.
From this point of view, she felt that he shouldn't be particularly angry with Xia Yihan.
After Mo Xiaonong returned to her room, she was still sleepy and slept for a while more. When Xia Yihan returned, she did the same as when she left.
"Xiaonong, get up. Don't you have lessons today?" She stood by the bed and called out to her.
Mo Xiaonong rubbed her eyes and got out of bed. When she saw the lunch box in Xia Yihan's hand, she felt a little strange.
"Sis, what's that?"
"It's for Mr Ye." Xia Yihan didn't hide anything from her.
"Good, good. Sis, you're finally enlightened. Brother Zimo will definitely be happy."
"Hopefully." Xia Yihan smiled at her and put the lunch box on the bedside table.
Ye Zimo usually took a shower in her bedroom after her morning exercise. She would then change into her formal clothes before heading to the main dining room for lunch.
When Xia Yihan heard Ye Zimo return, she calculated the time and estimated that he had already showered and changed his clothes. Thus, she nervously carried her lunch box out the door.
Walking to the door, Mo Xiaonong could not help but call out, "Sis!" She wanted to remind Xia Yihan to be careful if Ye Zimo got angry.
"What's the matter?"
"No, no, I want you to work hard!"
After some thought, she still didn't dare to say anything, nor did she dare to disobey Ye Zimo's orders.
After Xia Yihan left, she knocked on Ye Zimo's door. His voice was no different from usual.
"Enter!"
She turned the door and walked in. Xia Yihan said softly, "Mr Ye, I got up in the morning and prepared breakfast for you."
Ye Zimo glanced at her indifferently, then asked plainly, "What is it?"
Would he not reject her kindness? Xia Yihan's heart was happy, so she took the Lunch Box and quickly walked to him. She stood in front of him and opened the Lunch Box.
Ye Zimo calmly looked at her breakfast. She did not say that she liked it, nor did she say that she disliked it.
He was just thinking, what sort of mood did she have? It's not the same as last time when I made him a biscuit. This breakfast was just like last night when she treated him as a snack, she was afraid that the case of Mo Xiaojun would not be investigated.
It was rare for a conservative woman like her to put on an exposed nightgown and whisper to him that she wanted him to be happy.
Last night, he had not lightly tortured her. She was so tired, she could still get up in the morning to prepare breakfast for him.
How considerate he was! It was a pity that his heart wasn't for Ye Zimo, but for someone else.
He was truly very, very disappointed with this woman. He was even so disappointed that he didn't want to mock her, nor did he want to be rough with her.
He didn't give her an expression, but Xia Yihan started to feel uneasy again. She looked at his face and said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't really know how to cook. It might not be as good as what you usually eat. "But this is a part of my heart …"
"Bang, bang, bang." She was halfway through her sentence when there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
It was Soong Wanting who entered the restaurant. She was holding a tray with several pieces of golden cake placed on top of it. It was made by the master next to her whom Xia Yihan had seen in the kitchen. In addition to the cake, there was also a cup of pure milk.
"Zimo, good morning. I made a small cake for you personally this morning. Do you want to try it?" Soong Wanting was full of smiles.
The corner of Ye Zimo's mouth curved into a smile, "You made it yourself? "Seems like you've done quite well. Bring it over!"
"Alright!" Soong Wanting was still smiling, her gaze sweeping over the Lunch Box in Xia Yihan's hands, with a faint sense of triumphant joy on her face.
"Mr Ye, Miss Soong's dishes look better than mine. Take your time, I'm going back to my room."
Xia Yihan didn't say that Soong Wanting's cake wasn't made by her at all, so she felt there was no need to say it. Whom he chose to believe in was handmade. If not handmade, then so was handmade. He didn't believe anyone. Even if he did it himself, he wouldn't treat anyone with respect.
After she finished speaking, she no longer had the courage to stay in that room. Carrying the Lunch Box, she quickly walked towards the door.
"Wait!" Ye Zimo called out to her.
Xia Yihan halted her steps, a bit of hope suddenly surging in her heart. Would he still be willing to eat her breakfast instead of Soong Wanting's?
"Give it here!" Ye Zimo said again. She turned around and returned with the Lunch Box.
Ye Zimo took the Lunch Box from Xia Yihan's hands. This time, it was Soong Wanting's turn to look awkward.
This morning, the chef told her that Xia Yihan had been busy in the kitchen all morning and probably made food for Mr Ye.
Recently, Ye Zimo had been treating Xia Yihan coldly, so she felt that she might be able to beat her. Could it be that Ye Zimo had changed her mind?
"Wanting, take a look. Did she do well?" Ye Zimo asked indifferently.
Soong Wanting didn't know the meaning behind Ye Zimo's words. She had always played a grandiose role in front of him, so she forced out a smile. "Good, very good. Although it doesn't seem like it was written by a chef, it still took a look at her heart." "It's hard to do this for Sister Han. When I was doing this in the morning, I saw it for myself. I really put in a lot more effort than I did."
"No matter how diligent you are, you're still trash!" Ye Zimo suddenly said as her cold gaze swept over Xia Yihan's face that had suddenly turned abnormally ugly.
It was obviously not about the breakfast, as if it was directed at her.
"Throw it away for me! Your breakfast looks appetizing. I like it. " With that, Ye Zimo took the tray from Soong Wanting and passed the Lunch Box to Soong Wanting.
Soong Wanting was really happy inside, but she still tried to persuade Zimo with a regretful look on her face, "Zimo, this isn't good, it will hurt Sister Han's heart."
"Throw!" Ye Zimo indifferently squeezed out the word while picking up the cake Soong Wanting brought over and put it in her mouth.
This time, Soong Wanting did not persuade him anymore. She walked forward a few steps and unceremoniously picked up the Lunch Box. Crash! Xia Yihan's carefully arranged egg roll fell into the trash can.
Xia Yihan was already prepared to run into a wall, but she wasn't ready to be belittled by him in front of Soong Wanting.
She thought that no matter what he said or did, she would be calm. She didn't expect that with just a single sentence, she would feel so much pain. It was so painful that it was like she couldn't breathe.
She knew she should leave wisely and not just stand there and watch as Ye Zimo ate the food Soong Wanting brought her. For some reason, her feet felt like they were stuck on the ground, unable to move.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Try it." Ye Zimo picked up a small piece of cake and personally handed it to Soong Wanting.
Xia Yihan felt as if a needle had pierced her heart. She couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she turned and walked away.
The moment she turned around, she felt a chill on her face. What strange tears. How could they fall at such a time?
She did not dare to stay, did not dare to let those two people see her tears. She was like a deserter, defeated on the battlefield.
She ran back to her room, wrenched the door open and went in. She stood with her back pressed to the door, tears streaming down her face as if she had broken a dam.
She was so sad, but even that was beyond her expectations.
"Sis, what happened to you? "What's wrong?" Mo Xiaonong was terrified.
Xia Yihan was the one who held back the most all these years. Mo Xiaonong was the only one who cried every now and then, as they had never seen her cry before. Even after Mo Xiaojun passed away, she only saw her eyes turn red, but she didn't shed tears silently like she did now.
Xia Yihan's grief moved Mo Xiaonong. She walked forward and wiped her sister's tears in a fluster. While asking her, she said, "You made breakfast, didn't Brother Zimo like it?"
"No, no, don't ask Xiaonong." Xia Yihan choked with sobs.
So as not to worry Mo Xiaonong, she wept for a while and forced herself to calm down.
"Sis, can you tell me? If you don't say anything, you're going to make yourself sick. "
"Alright, then I'll tell you. He doesn't like the breakfast I made. He likes what Soong Wanting gave him. And he told Soong Wanting to throw away the breakfast I made. " This was probably the first time Xia Yihan had ever told Mo Xiaonong about her grievances. She didn't know if it was because she felt better to say it out loud.
Or perhaps he had to tell her about it and see for himself how heartless the man was to her.
"Really? Sis, he's going too far! "We won't be angry anymore. Don't be sad, I'm guessing he …" Mo Xiaonong recalled that Ye Zimo treated Xia Yihan this way because she told her about Yu Shanshan.
"I guess he's in a bad mood."
Xia Yihan absentmindedly nodded and said softly, "Yes, I'm not sad. There's nothing to be sad about. You originally wanted to ask something of him, but you still have to ask someone to do something without showing your face? "
"Sis, don't be like this. If you feel wronged, you should just cry." Mo Xiaonong walked up and gently hugged Xia Yihan. It was really painful to look at that appearance of hers, one that was like she was enduring a little too much.
Xia Yihan really stopped crying. She promised Xiaojun not to cry, so why cry for another man now?
"Yihan, Miss Mo, it's breakfast." The housekeeper's voice came from outside the door. Xia Yihan gently pushed Mo Xiaonong away, dried her tears and said loudly, "I know, thank you!"
"Sis, do you have anything to eat now?"
"Let's go."
She clearly understood her identity. She wouldn't eat breakfast even if she was slightly wronged? By then, Soong Wanting would be in trouble again, implying that she was being hypocritical and aloof.
Although Ye Zimo ate Soong Wanting's breakfast, she still appeared at the main dining room table to accompany her mother.
Soong Wanting had a sincere smile on her face this morning. Her cheeks were red, as though she was trying to cheer herself up.
When Xia Yihan and Mo Xiaonong arrived, Ye Zimo's cold gaze landed on Xia Yihan's face.
If he wasn't wrong, did that woman cry when she left?
Now that he saw her red eyes and confirmed his suspicions, would she cry too? He thought she was invincible for Mo Xiaojun and was as calm as a stone.
Fu Fengyi also noticed that Xia Yihan was different from her usual self. However, since Soong Wanting was here, she didn't ask any questions.
Xia Yihan had no appetite for breakfast, but a smile still hung on her lips. She acted just like usual.
"Mom, everything has been settled. Let's go today and take the helicopter. This way we can save some time and tired you out from your trip."
"What helicopter? It's so noisy, I'll take the train." Fu Fengyi insisted.
She was only here to make a match for the two of them, and the longer the better.
"Mom …" Ye Zimo wanted to persuade her again, but Fu Fengyi's face turned a little more serious. "I know that you have a lot of time. If you don't want to accompany me on the long train, then you might as well not go. Ting is with me."
Since she had already said so, what else could Ye Zimo say. She could only follow her instructions.
Fortunately, he had an alternative plan at that time. Considering that his mother might need it, he sent Lin Ling to prepare the train ticket.
"Lin Ling has also prepared a soft sleeper ticket, so we can set off today. Wanting, are you alright?"
Soong Wanting shook her head and said, "No problem, no problem."
"Butler, prepare a business car." Ye Zimo ordered.

"Yes, Mr Ye!"
Ye Zimo glanced at the servant again before her gaze finally landed on Jiu Jiu.
"Jiu Jiu, bring two sets of clean clothes with you and follow Madam Guan and Miss Soong."
When Jiu Jiu heard this, she let her follow. Heh, this is such a good thing. She can properly light up Ye Zimo and Soong Wantingzhe. As long as Jiu Jiu is here, Soong Wanting can forget about climbing onto Crown Prince's bed.
Soong Wanting saw that she was being followed by such an eyesore. Wasn't this obviously not allowing her to succeed?
She quickly said to Ye Zimo, "No need, I don't need to take care of her. I just need to take care of her."
Ye Zimo frowned slightly. Soong Wanting immediately changed her words. "However, I might have some inconsiderate things when I'm by myself. It's good to have someone running errands. Jiu Jiu is still alert, so why don't you follow me?"
Fu Fengyi wasn't worried about that. Even if Jiu Jiu was here, it would only be the four of them. At night, she could just ask Jiu Jiu to sleep with the old woman.
After the meal, Jiu Jiu didn't have time to talk to Xia Yihan alone. She only gave her a look to reassure her, implying that she would protect Crown Prince from being tarnished.
For the sake of Fu Fengyi's journey, other than preparing the carriage, the steward had also arranged for someone to prepare some convenient food and clothes.
Soong Wanting took the opportunity to go back to her room and pack up her things before sending a message to Yu Shanshan. She told her that this would be the best time to make a move today.
No one would protect Xia Yihan without Ye Zimo. She wasn't there, either, and it was her suspicion that she could wash away the suspicion. Soong Wanting originally wanted to use Faang Linuo, but after thinking about it later, if she failed, she would probably betray her. Thus, she changed her strategy.
"Yesterday, a new batch of female servants were recruited into the villa. I will arrange for the butler to send two people out tomorrow. You can think of a way, it's up to you whether you want to bribe them or threaten them. Just remember, do not expose me. Even if we fail, we still have a chance. "
Very soon, Yu Shanshan replied, "I know. Don't worry, this time I'll take her life."
Before they left, Ye Zimo didn't even look at Xia Yihan, but when everyone was ready to get in the car, Ye Zimo called the butler over and told him, "During the few days that I'm not here, no one is allowed to go out, no one is allowed to come in from the outside. Mo Xiaonong will be staying here for the next few days. The number of people on night duty has increased to six. "
"Yes, Mr Ye."
While the butler was still thinking about it, Soong Wanting had already secretly given the order for him to send out the new recruits from yesterday to buy things, so that the people Soong Wanting arranged would be the ones to do it.
Now that he gave the order, it was very troublesome.
He did not know if Soong Wanting had any other plans, but he still had some hope.
While he was thinking, Ye Zimo suddenly said in a low voice, "Butler!"
This call from the butler made him flustered and pressured. He raised his head to look at Ye Zimo respectfully and asked, "Mr Ye, do you have any other excuses?"
"I've already sent people to check. All the camera in the villa are still in good condition. When I return, I will go through all the videos I recorded before I left. If one of the camera is damaged, your job is gone. "
His words made Soong Wanting panic. He had to make a move, and if he didn't want to reveal anything, he had to cover up the camera. Could it be that he predicted it?
"I got it, Mr Ye!" The steward was sweating profusely.
He thought Ye Zimo had finished and bent down to help him open the car door. Unexpectedly, he added in a more severe tone, "Make sure everyone here is safe. If a human lives were to be accidentally taken, I will let you die with me! "
