Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 786: Just Want to Take a Look
"Are you in New York?" It was as if confirming something, asked with a hint of disbelief.
"Yes, I am. Why, is there something wrong?" Her voice sounded cheerful, as if nothing was amiss. But it was precisely this that made Ye Xinluo feel uneasy. She remained silent for a while before speaking again, "Shanshan, didn’t you say before..." that you weren’t going to that city?
She didn’t finish her sentence because she feared touching on her friend’s heartache.
Lan Shan, however, didn’t mind at all and replied with a laugh, "Plans can’t keep up with changes... Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you. My dad will be returning in a few months, Xinluo..."
Her words paused briefly as she glanced out the car window at the bustling street scene, momentarily dazed, "I might be getting married."
"What?" Ye Xinluo sat up from the sofa, gripping her phone a little tighter.
"My dad has a good friend whose son has been abroad for years. He will soon be returning to develop in Z City. My dad is already in discussions with him."
Halfway through, she suddenly looked down at her fingers, "After my trip to New York, I will be returning. You’ll be able to see me often then."
"Shanshan..." She had just mentioned her name, but didn’t know how to continue.
She couldn’t stand these low-pressure scenarios, so she smiled, "Oh, come on, don’t be like that. My mom says I’m not getting any younger, it’s time to settle down. I think so too. Besides, his family background isn’t bad, I won’t be at a loss."
"I called you today just to let you know I’m safe. I should be back in a month or two, so remember to come pick me up then... It’s probably evening in Z City now, so get some rest. I just got off the plane and am on my way to the hotel. I’ll contact you once I’m settled."
After finishing, without waiting for Ye Xinluo to respond, she casually said "Goodbye," and then hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy signal from the receiver, she was dazed for a moment before putting the phone aside, turning her head, and staring blankly at the dark night outside the window... With someone in her heart, yet choosing to forget and start a new relationship, will this really bring happiness?
....
After hanging up the phone, quietly staring at the street view outside the window in a daze, originally, her trip didn’t even include this city. However, after learning of her father’s decision, for some reason, she suddenly felt the urge to see this city.
Therefore, she changed her flight last minute just to see what the city with him was truly like.
Brother Gong, I’ve come to your city, under the same sky, standing on the same ground. Even the air we breathe is the same. Can I stubbornly believe that this way, I’m a step closer to you?
Although I don’t know which corner of this city you’re in, nor do I expect to meet you here, at least, under the same sky, I’ve been to your world, haven’t I?
The car arrived at the designated hotel. Only then did she snap back to reality, paid for the taxi, and dragged her suitcase inside. At the front desk, she got her card and headed straight for the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, she suddenly felt a moment of disorientation and for some reason remembered the first meeting scene.
"Hello, I am Gong Shaoyu." A few simple self-introductions, yet at that time, although his facial expression didn’t change much, it seemed to have some kind of magical power, lingering unforgettably in her heart.
