Chapter 08 The real Yao Haiyan is back 5
The taxi was wandering aimlessly on the street. Chi Yanze didn't say where to go, and I was even more at a loss.
I was afraid that if I went back, Yao Haiyan might have really come back. What should I do then?
Apart from talking to me for a few words after getting in the car, Chi Yanze remained silent.
"Did anything happen in the hotel just now? I just went to the bathroom. I was a little constipated, so I stayed a little longer..."
Seeing his unhappy expression, I couldn't help but ask, and told a lie to explain why I hadn't appeared in the banquet hall for so long.
Chi Yanze looked at me seriously and said, "I thought I lost you again. I was so scared when I didn't see you just now."
At this moment, his eyes were very sincere. I can't bear to part with such eyes, and I can't bear to part with such a beautiful boy.
But what should I do? The real Yao Haiyan is back, and I am not the one he has been dreaming about for so many years.
No, Chi Yanze doesn’t know yet, so I can continue pretending.
"Well, Xiaoze, don't be afraid, I'm here, aren't I?" I patted the back of his hand gently and comforted him.
"They asked me to get engaged to Murong Shan, but I don't like her. I like you!" Chi Yanze said to me very seriously, "Xiao Yan, I don't want to go back. I don't want to go back to that house. As soon as I go back, my father will lock me up until I agree to get engaged to Murong Shan. So, I must not go back and become a victim of his commercial interests."
"But if we don't go back, where can we go?" I looked at Chi Yanze with some worry. He suddenly looked determined and spoke fluently.
Chi Yanze looked out the car window, suddenly stretched out his hand, and called the driver in the driver's seat, asking him to drive the car in the opposite direction of the Chi family villa.
Finally, the car stopped in front of an ordinary hotel.
Chi Yanze paid the fare and walked into the hotel holding my hand.
As he walked, he said to me, "I'm sorry to bother you. Let's rest here first. If I stay in a too nice hotel, firstly, I don't have that much money on me, and secondly, my father will find out soon, so we can only choose this remote and inconspicuous hotel. Don't worry, I will find a way."
With anxiety and longing for the future, I nodded.
Chi Yanze now has more determination and courage, which is completely different from when I first met him.
At that time, he would not speak no matter how much we teased him. Later, when he finally spoke, he only answered one question at a time.
Gradually, he learned to open his heart to me and to others. Every conversation was smooth and seamless. He shone with dazzling brilliance and exuded a charming charm.
I also really don't want to leave him like this.
However , he didn't want to go back because he wanted to be with Yao Haiyan and didn't want to listen to Mr. Chi and get engaged to Murong Shan.
If he knew that I was not the real Yao Haiyan, would he still give up his status as a young master and live in a place like this? Would he still go against his father's wishes for an unrelated person?
I shouldn’t have agreed to be someone else’s stand-in in the first place!
He has worked so hard to become so strong. If he knew that I lied to him, would he close his heart again?
There was no air conditioning in the hotel. I was only wearing a skirt and a shawl, with my arms completely exposed, and I felt very cold.
"Cold?"
Chi Yanze came over, wrapped me in a quilt, hugged me tightly, and asked.
I nodded and leaned towards him, his embrace was warm.
At this moment, I don’t seem to want to think too much.
"I asked the waiter to buy you a set of clothes. Remember to change into them later. It's starting to snow outside. You'll catch a cold."
I leaned in his arms and nodded. I felt cold and sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Although I really want to tell him the little secret in my heart, I'm afraid he will get angry after hearing it. I'm also afraid he won't be able to accept this fact and will become the same as when I first met him.
What scares me more is that he would just leave me here like this.
Thinking of this, I gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dark and Chi Yanze was no longer by my side.
I quickly put on the clothes he had prepared for me and looked for him everywhere in the hotel. Finally, the front desk clerk kindly told me that Chi Yanze had gone out to buy something.
It's still snowing outside, what is Chi Yanze going out to buy?
I was thinking to myself, I wonder how angry Mr. Chi will be after we leave.
I didn't dare to think about it any further, but I couldn't let it go. I was afraid that the angry Mr. Chi would take his anger out on my aunt, so I borrowed a phone from the front desk and called my aunt.
My aunt answered the phone quickly.
"Qiqi, where are you?" my aunt asked me anxiously.
" I……"
I was about to tell my location when I heard someone talking next to my aunt.
"Qiqi, what did you do? Why did the Chi family come to our house to look for you?" Before I could answer, my aunt asked me anxiously.
I held the microphone tightly in my hand and was speechless. Then I heard Yao's father's voice: "Qiqi, I am Yao's father."
It seems that Mr. Chi is not here, so the person who talked to me was Mr. Yao.
Father Yao was silent for a while, then he sighed and said, "Qiqi, the real Xiaoyan has been found. It turns out that she was rescued by a garbage collector and has been wandering around without a fixed residence, so we have never been able to find her. However, she was hit by Miss Murong's car today and is now in the hospital. The doctor said that her right leg was comminuted and it will take a long time to recover. At the birthday party of the young master of the Cheng family, Mr. Murong and Mr. Chi had an awkward situation because Miss Murong and the young master ran away, and the business cooperation was cancelled. The young master took you away, which made Mr. Chi lose face, so he asked me to take you back no matter what. Now I don't know where you are, so I had to come to find your aunt. Qiqi, you are a smart and kind child. If you understand what I mean, come back with the young master."
My hand holding the microphone was shaking a little. I knew that things would not go so smoothly and that there would be no good outcome between Chi Yanze and me.
If we just walk away like this, we will only cause trouble for others.
Finally, Yao's father said: "Mr. Chi only gives you three days. Your aunt owed someone money, and Mr. Chi helped to pay it back. If you don't come back, I can't guarantee..."
"I will be back." I said with difficulty, my eyes moistening, " I will be back with Chi Yanze."
When Chi Yanze returned to the hotel, I had already returned to the room and was sitting on the bed alone.
Chi Yanze had a lot of food in his hands.
"Why did you buy so much food?" I asked him in surprise.
Chi Yanze looked at me and said, "You don't like boxed lunches, so I bought these..."
I looked at Chi Yanze's red face and hands from the cold, and I couldn't listen to him anymore. I rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.
Chi Yanze frowned, as if he was a little uncomfortable with my sudden intimacy, but in the end he didn't push me away and let me hug him.
With a faint smile on his face, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I just want to hug you. You're so nice to me." I lied.
It's just because I'm too sad, because we only have three days left to be together, and because I can't bear to leave you...
It snowed for three days and we spent most of the time in the hotel room chatting, sleeping, eating and watching TV. When the snow stopped, we went outside to have snowball fights and build snowmen.
In fact, it was a pretty ordinary day, but for me, who only had three days to spare, this period of time made me so happy that I wished time could stop.
When the agreed deadline arrived, I secretly called Yao's father without telling Chi Yanze and told him where we were. Then I pretended nothing had happened and lay on the bed with Chi Yanze to watch idol dramas.
When I saw the part where the heroine was forced to separate from the hero, I suddenly burst into tears.
Chi Yanze was frightened by me. He wiped my tears in panic and told me that the stories in the TV dramas were all fake and asked me not to cry.
But he didn't know that I was not crying for the couples in the TV series, but for ourselves, because I knew we were about to be separated.
Later, Chi Yanze fell asleep holding me.
In my dream, I seemed to hear the voices of Mr. Chi and Mr. Yao.
I know that my dream is about to end, but I can't bear to open my eyes and watch the beautiful dream shattered.
In the end, we cannot escape our predetermined fate.
