Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 142

Chapter 142: A Quarter of the Jade Pendant

Meanwhile.

“Second Young Lady Ye, where is your home?” Xia Ruoming asked Ye Han while opening the navigation interface, intending to drive her back to her residence in Hangzhou.

“Xia Ruoming, I’ve changed my mind, I want to go to your place!” Ye Han stared at Xia Ruoming’s somewhat shocked face and said with a mischievous smile.

“Pff! Second Young Lady Ye, your home is big and spacious, why bother staying at my place for a night?” If there hadn’t been no water in her mouth, Xia Ruoming would have sprayed liquid all over the car window.

“I forgot my keys! My sister isn’t home today! So what’s wrong with staying at your place for one night!”

“Then I’ll take you to a hotel, I’ll pay for the room!” Xia Ruoming decided promptly.

“No way! I’m afraid of ghosts, I can’t sleep alone!” Ye Han immediately came up with an excuse, even faster than Xia Ruoming’s thinking speed, “Either I go to your place, or you stay with me in the same hotel room!”

Xia Ruoming: “…”

No, while others would be terrified of sharing a room with someone they barely know, how come you’re actively pushing for it?

Xia Ruoming was now considering whether she should find an opportunity to take Ye Han to a temple to see a priest? It felt like Ye Han was possessed by a ghost or something.

Although this was what Xia Ruoming was thinking, she could only helplessly drive with Ye Han towards Linyu Villa.

Ah, it’s all because she inexplicably agreed to Ye Han’s request at the coffee shop, now she had invited a great deity home and couldn’t send her away.

…

…

“Ruoming, you run your own big company, yet you’re driving this kind of car?” Ye Han sat in the passenger seat, asking the question she had wanted to ask since Xia Ruoming first drove her.

For a company with promotional costs starting at several million, Xia Ruoming was driving a Porsche Macan worth just over 500,000 yuan, which seemed odd no matter how you looked at it.

“Second Young Lady Ye, not everyone is as rich as you, this car is not bad already.”

“Hey! I told you not to call me Second Young Lady Ye! Call me Hanhan!” Ye Han said dissatisfied, “Besides, looking at your company, you don’t seem like someone without money. I’m not saying you need to waste money on cars, but that day you went to the cocktail party, you obviously wanted to network with some upper-class second generation to help your business, right? A good car is essential at times like these. If those people think your status is naturally lower than theirs, they won’t give you any face.”

“Uh… that nickname is absolutely not okay.” Xia Ruoming said with an embarrassed expression.

“Why?”

“There’s someone with a similar name to yours, um… although I wouldn’t call her that, but just in case it causes unnecessary misunderstandings, it’s not good. Besides, Second Young Lady Ye, don’t you think that nickname is a bit too intimate? We don’t seem to be that close yet, right?”

It’s not that they weren’t close enough, it’s that I don’t want to get too close with you! — Xia Ruoming added a sarcastic comment in her heart.

Unable to think of a good nickname for the moment, Ye Han could only let Xia Ruoming call her Second Young Lady Ye, although she was still very unhappy about it. What’s wrong with just Hanhan? It’s not too intimate! It’s about the same as calling someone Ruhua or something!

After parking the car in the garage, Xia Ruoming took Ye Han into her house.

“Hmm? Is Ruoming back? Why are you back so late today?” Xiao Qinghan heard the sound of the doorknob turning and asked towards the door.

“Sister Qinghan~~ I’m back~~” The first thing Xia Ruoming did every day when entering the room was to throw herself at Xiao Qinghan, enjoying Xiao Qinghan’s gentle comfort to relieve the fatigue of the day.

“Okay… hm…? Did you bring someone?” Xiao Qinghan saw a shadow of someone changing shoes in the entrance and asked curiously.

“It’s me, CEO Xiao.” Ye Han walked out from the entrance, waving slightly at Xiao Qinghan.

The moment she saw Xiao Qinghan, Ye Han’s lips curved into an ‘I see’ smile.

Xiao Qinghan, Qinghan, living together, so that’s how it is. It seems the person Xia Ruoming mentioned who might cause unnecessary misunderstandings must be Xiao Qinghan, who would have thought they had this kind of relationship.

“Just call me Qinghan, Miss Ye, I don’t deserve to be called CEO by Miss Ye.” Xiao Qinghan hurriedly said. She had heard from Ye Xue before that her sister’s personality was somewhat… abnormal. Usually, if her sister showed respect and courtesy to someone, it basically meant that person was about to meet their doom.

Not to mention that Ye Han had a strange smile while speaking. Although she was now a CEO earning millions annually, compared to the enormous Ye family, she wasn’t even considered a small fry.

Ye Han smiled slightly but didn’t say anything more. Xiao Qinghan’s reaction must be because someone had been talking bad about her behind her back. She didn’t plan to explain much either, since no one would believe her anyway.

“She says Ye Xue isn’t home today, so she plans to stay with us for the night.” Although Xia Ruoming said this to Xiao Qinghan, Xiao Qinghan clearly read three words from Xia Ruoming’s facial expression — she doesn’t believe it!

“Alright, the food might be cold, I’ll heat it up before you eat.” Although Xiao Qinghan understood Xia Ruoming’s meaning, she didn’t show it, but instead went to the kitchen as usual, reheated the already prepared food, and brought it back to the dining table.

“Sister Qinghan doesn’t need to always wait for me to come back for dinner. If I’m too late coming back, Sister Qinghan should eat by yourself first. Eating so late isn’t good for your stomach.” Xia Ruoming watched Xiao Qinghan bustling about, feeling somewhat guilty. Xiao Qinghan helped her handle matters at the company that she should have been handling herself every day, being overwhelmed with work, yet still waited to have dinner with her after coming home.

Come to think of it, besides her parents, only Xiao Qinghan would do something like this.

Living with Xiao Qinghan, Xia Ruoming no longer had that feeling of loneliness.

After dinner, Xia Ruoming wanted to leave Ye Han, even planning to give up her usual Qinghan energy replenishment session, and rest quietly by herself, but before she could leave, she was pulled aside by Ye Han.

“Ruoming, I have something to give you, come with me for a moment.”

Without waiting for Xia Ruoming’s response, Ye Han pulled her out, walking out the front door and sitting on the lawn in the yard.

“Hm? If Second Young Lady Ye has something to say, just say it directly,” Xia Ruoming looked at Ye Han puzzled, not understanding what she wanted to do.

Ye Han didn’t answer Xia Ruoming’s question, but instead took out a jade pendant from her chest… to be precise, a quarter of a jade pendant, and handed it to Xia Ruoming.

“This is something my mother left me. If one day you encounter difficulties, take it to find my sister Ye Xue, she will definitely help, no matter what it is, she will help you.”

Actually, that jade pendant had another special meaning. Only when Ye Han met someone she intended to stay with would she give it to that right person. She had already pre-designated Xia Ruoming as hers, but at this moment, Ye Han clearly didn’t say these words out loud.

But when Ye Han handed the jade pendant to Xia Ruoming, she also saw Xia Ruoming’s face, and she clearly saw that at that moment, Xia Ruoming’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

“This is… your mother’s thing?” Xia Ruoming’s voice was trembling, and Ye Han didn’t know why Xia Ruoming’s change was so dramatic.

“Yes, what’s wrong? Does Ruoming think there’s something wrong?”

“Your mother… what’s her name?” She continued asking with that already trembling voice.

“Liu Qingyun.”
