Chapter 2495: Chapter 2495: A Story of Losing and Finding One’s Way (6)
"..."
Ye Mingmei was momentarily speechless and could only lower her head to drink her milk.
She wasn’t really that concerned about the protagonist of the story; she was just curious why Bai Zheng was being so earnest in seeking her out.
She looked up and saw that there were fewer and fewer people in the restaurant. Today wasn’t a weekend, and there were a lot of people dining here, but they all ate quickly. They had only talked for a while, and quite a few people had already left.
Ye Mingmei still had work on her mind, but seeing Bai Zheng’s expression wasn’t very good, she hesitated to bring up the fact that she needed to leave.
"Mr. Bai..."
"Call me Bai Zheng."
Ye Mingmei had just started speaking when she was interrupted. She looked up, meeting Bai Zheng’s deep gaze—a gaze so profound it seemed like an abyss, one misstep and you’d never get out.
"Where was our conversation?" Bai Zheng pretended not to notice Ye Mingmei’s unease and calmly continued the previous topic, "Oh, I did ask Miss Ye if she has someone she likes. This question, I suppose upon seeing Meimei, will have an answer."
"I came today to hear a story, but you still haven’t told me the story you intended to share," Ye Mingmei clasped her hands in front of her and spoke with a solemn tone.
Things she tried so hard to forget had been brought up again and again by others, awakening the sadness she fought hard to suppress.
"I am saying it, but Miss Ye is not cooperating," Bai Zheng faced Ye Mingmei’s query with a candid gaze, "I forgot to tell Miss Ye, before coming to you, I have already visited the Ye Family and told Mr. Ye this story."
"You went to my father?" Ye Mingmei looked at Bai Zheng with surprise, her face showing astonishment.
"It was Mr. Ye who suggested I come to you, saying that once Miss Ye hears this story, she will surely help me, and that’s why I came," Bai Zheng’s tone remained calm, his gaze sincere—there was no hint of falsehood.
Upon hearing it was Ye Zhanxing who sent Bai Zheng to seek her help, Ye Mingmei was momentarily dazed before sitting upright and looking at him seriously.
"Since my father sent you, then you’d better explain clearly what’s going on. Don’t try to evade the issue anymore, I still don’t understand what you’re trying to say."
Upon hearing this, a trace of amusement passed through Bai Zheng’s handsome face, "They say the hardest things to talk about require enough psychological construction, it seems I’ve prepared too long and made Miss Ye impatient."
"Sorry, I’m just a bit anxious... seeing you, my emotions tend to..." lose control.
Ye Mingmei bit her lip, leaving the sentence unfinished, but she believed Bai Zheng understood.
He shared the exact same face as Yu Xiuzhun; anyone would find it difficult to face the same face on utterly different people without feeling any discomfort.
Seeing him, many memories with Yu Xiuzhun from three years ago would spontaneously pop into Ye Mingmei’s mind.
"It’s alright, it’s my fault. I should have told Miss Ye from the start that the reason I came this time is to invite you to help design a proposal ceremony for someone who has waited for me for many years."
Bai Zheng set down his wine glass, his face slightly lifted, gaze fixed on Ye Mingmei before him, as if waiting for her reaction.
Upon catching the shock in her eyes, Bai Zheng’s lips crooked with a mischievous smile, "Does Miss Ye now have the patience to listen to this story of mine?"
