“You sure are good with your jokes, Mr. Bai.” Huo Sanyan smiled.
“Oh, I’m actually quite serious about it.”
Bai Yanchuan smiled back.
Bai Yanchuan was the type of person who would make his joke seem serious and treat serious matters like a joke.
Huo Sanyan quickly evaluated what kind of person Bai Yanchuan was. He was good looking, loaded with money, and attractive in many ways, but getting into a relationship with him was something Huo Sanyan never even wanted to think of.
The most crucial problem was that it seemed like Huo Sanyan was not able to accept another man other than Ye Xun.
Just as she was pondering how to respond, her phone rang.
Huo Sanyan looked at her screen and realized it was from Ye Xun.
“My apologies. I have to take this call.” Huo Sanyan smiled apologetically and answered the call. “Hello?”
“Yanyan… Where are you… I… I don’t feel so good…” Ye Xun’s weak voice came from the other side of the phone.
Huo Sanyan’s heart instantly tightened and she asked what happened to Ye Xun, yet Ye Xun didn’t tell her anything on purpose.
“Wait for me! I’m coming back right now!” Huo Sanyan said and hung the phone up before turning to Bai Yanchuan. “I’m sorry but I have to leave! It’s an emergency!”
Bai Yanchuan also got up and said, “Let me take you home.”
When Huo Sanyan wanted to pay, she realized Bai Yanchuan had already paid beforehand.
Since she came to the restaurant with Bai Yanchuan, the only way for her to get back was by cab or Bai Yanchuan’s car.
But she would have to wait a while before she could grab a cab, which was why she decided to let Bai Yanchuan drive her home.
Huo Sanyan was then staying at Ye Xun’s home, the Ye Manor.
Bai Yanchuan drove onto the property and stopped in front of the main mansion of the Ye Manor.
Huo Sanyan thanked Bai Yanchuan and invited him in for a cup of tea, but he declined, saying that he would visit some other time.
After seeing Bai Yanchuan off, Huo Sanyan ran into the mansion.
Neither Huo Sanyan nor Bai Yanchuan had noticed that Ye Xun was spying on them from the window in his room.
Ye Xun saw an unfamiliar car stop in front of his mansion and saw Huo Sanyan coming down from the shotgun seat, while another man was sitting in the driver’s seat.
Ye Xun recognized the man. He was the president of Estan’s Bo’si Picture, Bai Yanchuan.
He recalled that Bai Yanchuan once offered Huo Sanyan a job back in Estan, and Huo Sanyan seemed really close to him. If not for Ye Xun interfering from the dark at that time, Huo Sanyan could’ve left him and gone out with Bai Yanchuan instead.
Ye Xun was glad that he got the message from Jing Xi, or else he wouldn’t have known that Bai Yanchuan was in the Dragon Kingdom too.
Now that he got his woman back, he quickly ran back to his bed and lay down.
Huo Sanyan opened the door and saw Ye Xun lying in the bed like he was sick.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Sanyan asked worriedly as she put her jacket and purse down.
Ye Xun took the thermometer he had in his mouth and handed it to Huo Sanyan.
Huo Sanyan almost had a heart attack when she saw the numbers on it.
41.5 °C.
“What happened? Weren’t you normal this morning?”
“I don’t know… Cough…,” Ye Xun replied as he faked some coughs.
