Chapter 450: Jian Yiling Returns (2)

Yu Xi rushed forward to help Jian Yiling with her luggage: “G.o.d Ling, you haven’t changed at all!”

Yu Xi was filled with joy.

This was great! G.o.d Ling was still the same G.o.d Ling as before! Nothing had changed.

Time seemed to have gone back to three years ago.

G.o.d Ling was still cute and adorable. Of course, she still seemed cold to everyone.

“Three centimeters,” Jian Yiling replied.

The voice that came out of her mouth was still the same voice as Yu Xi remembered. Soft and sweet like sticky rice.

“Huh?” Yu Xi questioned as he looked at her.

“I’ve grown three centimeters taller.”

Three centimeters was still going taller.

Yu Xi paused for a moment. He tried very hard to hold back from laughing out loud.

He couldn’t laugh! He definitely could not laugh at G.o.d Ling! He hadn’t seen her for so long. They had finally reunited! He couldn’t make fun of her right away!

After suppressing his laughter, Yu Xi looked at Jian Yiling again. His expression became serious.

He had many questions that he wanted to ask her. However, he didn’t know where to start.

For example, what exactly had happened between her and Master Sheng three years ago?

And why did Master Sheng leave Hengyuan City immediately? Why did he leave right after rescuing her?

And why did he stay in the capital for the past three years? He hadn’t left the city a single time ever since then.

Jian Yiling had also left the country. As a result, Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng had completely broken off contact with one another.

Yu Xi would not believe Jian Yiling if she said that nothing had happened between them.

However, what could have happened? Yu Xi could not think of a situation that could have caused this.

After pausing for a while, Yu Xi still did not ask about what happened three years ago. He didn’t know how to phrase his question. Instead, he asked Jian Yiling a question that he thought was related to her age:

“G.o.d Ling, have you dated anyone in the past few years?”

Jian Yiling was silent for a moment.

Jian Yiling’s silence made Yu Xi immediately a.s.sume things: “Wait, no way! Did you find a foreign boyfriend?! I guess it’s normal for an eighteen-year-old girl to date someone… However, you can’t just let someone from another country steal you away!”

“I haven’t,” Jian Yiling replied.

Her brother said that she couldn’t date until she was twenty.

“Wait… Does that mean you haven’t dated anyone? Or does that mean you don’t have a foreign boyfriend?”

“Haven’t for both questions.”

“Well, you should hurry up and date someone when you’re in the capital! Don’t waste your youth! You can take a look at the guys in Beijing! They’re much better than the ones from overseas!”

Then, Yu Xi commented: “Hmmm, Master Sheng hasn’t dated anyone either. However, I haven’t seen him much in the past few years. To be honest, if he did start to date someone, I wouldn’t know about it either.”

After Zhai Yunsheng started to work on the Zhai family business, Yu Xi had very few opportunities to meet him.

Yu Xi remembered that the last time he had seen Master Sheng was around two months ago.

“Mhmm.”

When Jian Yiling heard Yu Xi mentioned Zhai Yunsheng, she merely responded calmly.

“Ohh, let’s not stand around anymore. Let’s walk over to my car.”

And thus, Yu Xi walked with Jian Yiling to where he had parked the car.

After leaving the airport, Yu Xi asked Jian Yiling: “G.o.d Ling, have you found a place to live yet? If you haven’t found one, I’ll find a place for you.”

“I found a place already.”

“Ohh, that’s good. Tell me the address, I’ll send you there.”

“Take me to the place where the Qin family is holding their banquet today.”

“G.o.d Ling, what are you going there for?” Yu Xi asked curiously.

“I need to talk to Qin Chuan about something,” Jian Yiling replied.

She didn’t specify what she was going to talk about.

However, when Yu Xi heard this, he vaguely felt that it seemed as though G.o.d Ling was quite familiar with Qin Chuan.

Could it be that G.o.d Ling and Qin Chuan had been contacting each other during the past few years?

“G.o.d Ling, have you been in contact with Qin Chuan in the past three years?”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. She didn’t deny Yu Xi’s a.s.sumption.
