Chapter 847 He Jichen, Let’s Have a Baby (16)

But as soon as she finished the draft, before she could say anything, she heard the honking of a car's horn from He Jichen's side through her cell phone, mixed with the roar of a passing car.

He Jichen was on... the main road?

With doubts passing through Ji Yi's mind, she paused for a few seconds, and suddenly seemed to understand something. She quickly ran into the lobby on the second floor, jumped to the window, and looked out the window.

Sure enough, just as she had guessed, He Jichen's car was parked on the side of the road. He lowered his head slightly and leaned on the front of the car, holding up his mobile phone to talk to her.

The wind picked up late at night, blowing his hair and clothes from side to side. On the fingertips of his other hand, there was a flash of fire that flickered, which must be smoke.

So, after he sent her to "BJ's Hotel", he didn't leave at all and was waiting downstairs all the time?

In just a moment, Ji Yi understood the reason why He Jichen did this.

He was really afraid that he would show up at the dinner with her and cause trouble for her, so he lied to her.

Presumably, he heard what she and Ruan Jie said in the supermarket in the afternoon, and the reason why he didn't show any emotion was because he didn't want to increase her psychological burden, right?

An indescribable complex emotion swept through Ji Yi's soft heart very quickly. There was warmth, touch, but more of heartache...

"Xiao Yi?" He Jichen on the other end of the phone saw that Ji Yi had not moved for a long time, and when he spoke again, he was a little worried.

Hearing He Jichen's voice, Ji Yi quickly put away his thoughts and stared intently at He Jichen standing on the street, saying "huh?" lightly.

"Why don't you speak?"

"No...a text message just came in on my phone. I took a look..." Because she knew that He Jichen had been waiting downstairs, Ji Yi's voice was a little unsteady. She was afraid that He Jichen would pick up on the clues and act randomly. After finding an excuse to put it off, he quickly spoke again and changed the subject: "By the way, when will you arrive? I'm about to finish here."

"Hmm..." He Jichen on the phone hesitated for a moment and replied softly: "...it will probably take more than twenty minutes..."

If she hadn't witnessed him standing downstairs with her own eyes, Ji Yi wouldn't have been able to tell that He Jichen was lying.

She thought, this was probably the most beautiful and heart-warming scene of lying she had ever encountered in her life, right?

He Jichen was probably afraid that he wouldn't have enough time. After he finished speaking, he added: "Is it too late?"

Ji Yi hurriedly suppressed the ups and downs of emotions in her heart and replied: "There's enough time."

"Then I'm here and I'll send you a message."

"Okay." Ji Yi swallowed hard, suppressed the discomfort in his throat back into his stomach, and said again in a gentle voice: "Drive slowly."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yi did not leave the window in a hurry, but stared at He Jichen quietly on the street.

He probably didn't want her to know that he was smoking and had never smoked during the whole process of talking to her on the phone. It wasn't until he put the phone away that he put the cigarette holder to his lips and took a puff.

The wind was strong and he smoked frequently.

As time passed by bit by bit, he showed no sign of impatience.

Ji Yi, who was looking at He Jichen intently, couldn't help but hold on to her cell phone. There was a touch of moisture in her dark and clean eyes.
