Chapter 1407: 1407

Ye Youyou lowered her head and walked forward . The surrounding darkness cloaked her eyes . She lost all sense of direction .

Cars zoomed past, and locals walked on the pavement . A yellow glow emanated from the street lamps above . The heat and humidity in the air were suffocating . They brought with them a sense of despondency .

The gloomy weather intensified the pain in Ye Youyou’s heart . The pain spread throughout her whole body, which was soon convulsing uncontrollably .

Her head began to spin . She couldn’t take it any longer . She crouched down and started to cry aloud .

Many passersby noticed Ye Youyou, but all they did was take a second look . No one stopped to ask after her .

Boom…

Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed across the sky . The rumble of thunder warned the pedestrians to take shelter .

Immediately after the clap of thunder, huge droplets of rain descended . They hit against Yu Lili’s scalp and face, providing her with some numbing coolness .

Shhhhh…

The rain grew heavy . Ye Youyou remained crouching on the floor . Her strength had been completely wiped out . The sound of her restrained cries were lost in the cacophony of raindrops .

Everyone was running to avoid the rain . Their feet splashed in the puddles . The ripples spread out before being covered by feet again .

Children without umbrellas had no choice but to run as fast as they could . They had to rush home in order to avoid being caught in the rain .

But, what about children who don’t have a home?

Ye Youyou’s thoughts headed in that direction . She hugged herself tightly . Suddenly, the sound of the rain softened a little . The cold, hard droplets of rain that had been beating down on her mercilessly also stopped .

She was stunned . She looked up and opened her wet and teary eyes . What she saw was an angular face that was clean and cold . A pair of cool and shining eyes stared simply at Ye Youyou . Their expression was undecipherable .

In a daze, Ye Youyou looked at the man standing in front of her . She blinked her eyes and took a few more looks . The face remained there .

“Is it nice and cool there?” Li Jinnan’s voice was deep .

She couldn’t tell what he was feeling . A clearly knuckled hand held a big black umbrella, effectively protecting her from the rain . Ye Youyou opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say .

She looked down and saw that she was soaked from head to toe . Indeed, she looked like she had seen better days .

“Let’s go . ” Li Jinnan pulled her up without any hesitation . He shoved the umbrella into her palm and took his jacket off to drape it over her .

Suddenly enveloped in his warmth, Ye Youyou felt an ache in her throat . The tears came pouring out of her eyes again .

Li Jinnan acted as if he hadn’t noticed anything . He took the umbrella back from her . Holding her firmly around the shoulders, he led her to his car parked at the side .

Once inside the car, water was still dripping from Yu Lili’s body . She kept her movements minimal . She tucked her arms and legs as closely to her body as she could for fear of soiling the interiors any further .

Li Jinnan looked at her from the side of his eye . He took out a handkerchief from his pocket to pass to her before driving off steadily . From the moment he entered the car, he didn’t say a word .

Ye Youyou took the handkerchief from him and wiped her face and hair . She turned and snuck a peek at Li Jinnan . His side profile was extremely angular . The lines on his jaw were tight, and his lips were pressed into a thin line . He looked a little unhappy .

She shrunk her feet back and subtly looked down at the handkerchief in her hands . In a small whisper, she said, “Thank you, GM Li . ”

It was only after she opened her mouth that she realized her voice was very hoarse and carried with it the remnant of her sobs . She sounded pitiable indeed .

Li Jinnan brought his eyes back to the road and made an abrupt turn with the car before bringing the vehicle to a halt . He turned to face Ye Youyou without revealing what he was thinking .
