Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Glad that you know.” Xiao Yaojing mocked. “Have you had dinner? I’ve saved some food for you.” Xiao Yaojing’s tone remained the same, but her concern could be heard beneath the mockery.

Ye Yuwei chuckled at Xiao Yaojing’s awkwardness. She had gotten used to her sarcasm. “Not yet, I’m dying of hunger. I don’t have a single penny on me. Luckily PA Wen is kind enough to send me home.”

Xiao Yaojing followed as Ye Yuwei got up and walked into the kitchen. “PA Wen must be psychotic. Today I asked him why he’s working for that jerk Gu Juexi. He replied it’s worth it. I think he must be a masochist.”

‘Worth it?’

Ye Yuwei stunned as she took out the food from the pot. She was unable to ascertain the two words.

‘Gu Juexi has always been a genius. He can achieve anything he set his sights upon. PA Wen should be the person who understands him most.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden thunderstorm.

Ye Yuwei woke up startled, sat up and gasped for air.

Xiao Yaojing rushed to turn on the lights yet Ye Yuwei suddenly urged, “Turn it off, turn it off.”

Xiao Yaojing was taken aback, quickly turned the lights off and patted Ye Yuwei’s back. “Had a nightmare about the fire again?”

Ye Yuwei grabbed her head with both her hands, unable to recall the details. She could only remember the blazing fire and the man who rescued her.

“You’re quite ill fated, there were only two survivors from the fire. The other girl is the Cheng family’s young mistress, yet you are an orphan. That could be a case of mistaken identity and you’re the actual mistress of the family.” Xiao Yaojing laughed.

Ye Yuwei returned to her calm self, turned and looked at Xiao Yaojing in the darkness and said, “You must have read too many novels, you think they’re so foolish? They’ve done a DNA test.”

Xiao Yaojing pursed her lips. Seeing Ye Yuwei regain her composure, she lay down on the bed and said, “I have no idea how you got through the thunderstorms in the past.”

Ye Yuwei remained seated listening to Xiao Yaojing’s remark.

‘How did I get through?’

‘Hugging the pillow alone, looking down at the thunderstorm through the window till dawn.’

Looking back at the past, she was really foolish then.

Xiao Yaojing dozed off but Ye Yuwei did not lie down. She continued sitting on the bed, listening to the sound of the raindrops hitting the windows.

The air remained cold as the rain continued.

Barely six in the morning, Ye Yuwei prepared breakfast. She set it carefully on the table and left a note before packing an insulated container to visit Auntie Mao at the hospital.

Auntie Mao was getting old and did not sleep much. She was already awake when Ye Yuwei crept into the room.

“I was just thinking about you and you’ve arrived. I’ve been waiting for you for ages.” Auntie Mao quickly gestured for Ye Yuwei to come over.

Ye Yuwei’s careful demeanor disappeared and she carried the well-packed food container over, “Why are you awake so early?”

“Couldn’t sleep, and –” Auntie Mao’s nose crinkled. The mischievous grin was adorable.

Ye Yuwei’s curiosity piqued. “What is it?” She exclaimed as she placed the container on the table and removed the outer bag.

The washroom door opened as Ye Yuwei completed her sentence.
