That night, she actually didn't twist her ankle, but He Jichen immediately rushed over to her when he saw the live broadcast.
He didn't look good as he took her back, but when she called Qian Ge on a public phone to rub some salt in the wound, he still helped her.
After she got in the car, he lectured her, yet she felt unusually warm.
She clearly remembered the words she said to him that night: "I wanted to surprise you."
The atmosphere in the car was a little strange at the time. She half-jokingly said, "I was hoping YC would promote me, but if YC shuts down..."
Before she could finish, he said, "Without YC, you still have me."
It felt like those words were spoken in slow-mo as each and every word leapt into her heart. All of a sudden, that night, a sentence appeared in her heart, "The glorious spring fell into autumn waters, summer days shone on spring mud. From here on out, you are the only one in my heart."
That was when she deeply and completely fell in love with him.
Three years later, at the same charity event and driving on the same road, they were together now.
...
Before He Jichen got in the car, he told Ji Yi that even more heinous things were waiting for her when they got back home.
After they returned home, He Jichen really did more heinous things to Ji Yi for a long time.
After Ji Yi fell asleep from complete exhaustion, He Jichen, who had his eyes shut and looked fast asleep, opened his eyes, turned his head and stared at Ji Yi's sleeping face for a while. Then he gently removed the covers, got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom.
When He Jichen stepped out again, he was dressed immaculately.
He walked over to the bedside and pulled the covers over Ji Yi. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Then he grabbed his wallet and car keys before leaving the bedroom.
After he reached the parking lot and drove out of the residential area, He Jichen stopped the car by the road, glanced at his own home, reached for his phone and sent Chen Bai a message.
Chen Bai sent him a message two hours ago.
After He Jichen read it, he sent Chen Bai a reply then stepped on the gas again. He maneuvered the steering wheel and drove ahead on the empty streets deep into the night.
"Mr. He, would you like a cup of tea?"
He Jichen shook his head and immediately asked, "Where is she?"
"In the interrogation room," replied the person who escorted He Jichen. He then asked, "Do you want to go see her now?"
He Jichen nodded gently in silence.
"This way, Mr. He."
He Jichen caught up to the person escorting him.
They walked down the hallway and took two turns before the person escorting him stopped after they reached the darkest part of the hallway. He pulled out some keys, opened the door then turned to He Jichen and said, "Here."
He Jichen nodded slightly. After the person escorting him stepped back, he shut the door.
Qian Ge was sitting inside. She thought her lawyer had arrived, so she abruptly lifted her head when she heard the sound.
When she saw He Jichen, the joy in her eyes instantly froze.
He Jichen ignored the change in Qian Ge's gaze and stood at the door quietly for a moment. Then he raised his feet and stepped in.
He elegantly shut the door then leisurely walked up to the chair and desk in front of Qian Ge. He reached out and gently pulled the chair back as he casually sat down.
Qian Ge's gaze followed He Jichen's path from the door to right in front of her.
She stared at He Jichen unwaveringly for a long time. She noticed he didn't show any intentions of speaking, so her lips twitched and she softly asked, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
