exclusive favor

Chapter 17
Ye Xi stayed with his mother all afternoon, and when he was about to leave at four o'clock, his mother casually mentioned something.

"Your Uncle Shang's son was originally scheduled to return home today, but due to weather conditions in California, all flights in the afternoon have been suspended, and it may be postponed until tomorrow."

Ye Xi was slightly taken aback.

Uncle Shang and his ex-wife had a son, but the custody of the child was awarded to his ex-wife in the year of divorce. The mother and son immigrated to California the following year and never came back.

I haven't been back for nearly 30 years, why suddenly...

Zhong Lan explained: "It seems that because of job transfer, I will stay in Nanshi for a while."

Ye Xi understood, pursed his lips and said to his mother: "I'll be flying back to Jingzhou tomorrow morning. There will be an announcement that afternoon, so I may not be able to come to the family banquet."

"It's okay, work is important."

The mother smoothed her hair with her hands, and carefully told: "Go back and take good care of yourself, eat on time, don't push yourself when you are tired, and I can support you if you don't become that poor actor."

Ye Xi hugged her mother with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's like this every time, I'm not a kid anymore."

"You still think I'm nagging." Zhong Lan's eyes were moist, and he thought to himself when it would be a good time to gather less and leave more.

The black Maybach parked there quietly outside the yard. Before Ye Xi got into the car, he said goodbye to his mother and stepfather. It wasn't until the car drove out of the villa area that the reluctance in his heart welled up.

The two of them didn't speak much the whole time.

Ye Xi glanced at the driver's seat out of the corner of her eye several times, and saw the dim corners of the man's eyes, as if he had just experienced the parting of his relatives just like her.

She couldn't help thinking of Qin Chen's parents.

In the second year of their relationship, he took her home. Qin's father and Qin's mother were amiable, and the happiness in their eyes almost overflowed when they saw her.

Ye Xi could feel that Qin Chen's parents really liked her.

Time flies, and it has been three years in a blink of an eye. The old couple should be fine.

Somehow, after returning to Nanshi, Ye Xi felt that he suddenly became sentimental and nostalgic.

She smiled silently.

It may be true as my mother said, 24 years old, not too young.

Entering the main city, a deep voice next to her interrupted her thoughts: "I see you haven't eaten much at noon, are you hungry?"

Ye Xi subconsciously turned her head to look at him, then shook her head.

This time point is not the peak period, the car drove smoothly all the way, and arrived at the hotel in less than half an hour.

As soon as I stepped into the lobby, I saw the LC brand manager approaching me with an apologetic face.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Ye Xi, tonight's reception has been temporarily canceled. Due to the weather, all flights in California are temporarily suspended. The president won't be able to arrive in Nanshi until noon tomorrow at the latest. I'm really sorry for making you waste of time."

The other party kept his attitude very low, and even gave a high-end brooch under LC as an apology. In fact, a dignified brand manager really didn't have to do this when facing her as a spokesperson.

And even if she didn't attend the reception, she planned to go back to Nanshi.

It's just that Ye Xi thought it was a coincidence. She didn't expect that the flight from California to Nanshi was so predestined to her.

Director Qin seemed to be having a social event at night, and she asked inadvertently, which caused the man to ask back with great interest: "Afraid that I will go out on a date with a woman?"

"With Director Qin's looks, isn't it normal to make an appointment?"

Ye Xi finished speaking with a sneer, and took out the room card from the bag.

As soon as her hand reached the doorknob, the man's broad palm covered the back of her hand at the same time.

The air was stagnant.

When she realized it, she pulled her hand out in embarrassment, but he squeezed it tightly.

Ye Xi raised his head and stared at him, with a slightly unhappy expression on his face.

The two confronted each other silently.

Qin Chen broke the silence with a low smile. He was tall and bowed his head slightly to get closer to her.

The deep and hoarse voice penetrated into her ears: "The goddess is beautiful today."

"..."

Ye Xi looked back calmly.

As expected, he had something to say in the next second.

"The public welfare film will be released in three months. It is the best gift for all fathers in the world. You can give it to your father, okay?"

Father's gift...

Hearing this, Ye Xi's heart was no longer as calm as it was at first.

This man is really good at catching people's emotions, he will always know her tears and pain points.

Because this year's Father's Day, it happens to be the anniversary of my father's death.

Ye Xi lowered her eyes slowly, her thick eyelashes concealing the moisture that gradually overflowed from her eyes.

"Let me think again."

She didn't look at him again, and retracted her hand again, her voice sounded a little uncomfortable: "Can you let go, you are addicted to touching?"

Ye Xi's annoyed words made Qin Chen laugh.

He loosened his big hand, his eyes still resting on the back of her white and delicate hand.

Before turning back to the room, he said in a good mood: "It feels good."

"..."

In the afternoon, Ye Xi slept in the room for a while, and when the manager called later, he probably also received the news that the reception was temporarily cancelled.

The two were chatting, and Ye Xi mentioned the public welfare film.

Zhou Jing was extremely surprised: "You said that Qin Chen has condescended to invite you three times?"

"Well, add up front and back, there are three times."

Ye Xi swished out of bed, took her bathrobe and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The agent on the other end of the phone looked a little excited.

"Little ancestor, you just agree. You rejected Qin Chen three times in a row. Looking around the entire show business circle, I'm afraid you are still No. 1."

"What's wrong with Director Qin? He's rich, talented, handsome and a gentleman. You know how many actresses dream of being in his—er,'s scene."

"You said before that you had a feud with others, but I don't think they took it to heart. What does it mean? It means that Director Qin is more magnanimous and dedicated than you."

"Goddess, agree, don't smash your own signboard."

This short phone call tonight refreshed her new understanding of her manager.

The gold medal manager Zhou Jing was rumored to act vigorously and resolutely, but he didn't talk harshly much.

Ah.

It seems that the outside world misunderstood her deeply.

It was already dark outside after taking a shower, Ye Xi turned on her phone, and saw the WeChat message sent to her by her assistant.

【Sister, I feel a little sick to my stomach. I'm going to the clinic to get some medicine now. I ordered dinner for you, and it will be delivered to me in a few minutes. 】

She frowned and typed back: [It's not serious, I'll drive you to the hospital. 】

[It's okay, I just eat too much at noon and have indigestion and abdominal distension. 】

【…】

Ye Xi smiled and turned off the phone.

Five minutes later, the door diagonally opposite was knocked open by the rider.

"Sir, your takeaway has arrived."

Qin Chen glanced at the lunch box in the other party's hand: "I didn't order takeaway."

"Yunshang Hotel, Room 709, that's right."

Qin Chen reached out to take the lunch box, and when he saw the phone number on it, his stern face instantly softened.

Just after eight o'clock, it was still early, Ye Xi wiped his hair and went to the living room to turn on the TV.

I tuned to a variety show and watched it for 2 minutes before the doorbell rang.

She picked up the mask on the coffee table, put it on, closed the neckline, and went to open the door.

I thought it was food delivery, but I didn't expect to open the door, but a tall figure bumped into my eyes.

Ye Xi looked at the man who was also in a bathrobe, and said shyly, "What are you doing?"
