Xiao Minxing quickly took a set of keys and said, "He must have left something behind that he hasn't brought over. He doesn't know what day it is today, but it might be special for him, so he's looking for it. Sister Wang, you come with me. Let's go check the place where we rented before and bring all his things back."
I originally wanted to go together, but Xiao Minxing was worried that Ye Guang might cause more trouble, so she only let Sister Wang go alone.
When I returned to Upstairs to check on Ye Guang, he had already put on a pair of pants but was still shirtless, rummaging through the cabinet. There was clearly nothing inside, yet he wouldn't stop.
I brought him breakfast, but he wouldn't eat, mumbling something under his breath.
His voice was too soft and unclear, so I couldn't understand a word.
Around ten in the morning, Sister Wang hadn't returned, but Mina and Longwen unexpectedly arrived.
I heard them outside the front door and was so surprised that I put down Xiao Zhe and rushed to the Entrance. As a result, this little guy followed my footsteps out, stumbling and running around the yard.
As soon as Mina stepped inside, he pounced into her arms, looking as if he had seen his mother. It made me feel a bit teary-eyed, while Mina burst into cheerful laughter.
Longwen stood next to Mina elegantly, watching her and Xiao Zhe smile.
I invited them to come inside. When we reached the Entrance, Longwen finally asked about Ye Guang's condition.
If it were any other day, I would have called Ye Guang down by now or taken him to his room. However, today Ye Guang was particularly unusual, making me feel like I had failed in taking care of him during this time. I thought about waiting for Sister Wang to bring his things back before trying again and letting him come out when he was feeling more normal.
Seeing my difficulty, Longwen didn't press further. He played with Xiao Zhe for a while alongside Mina before quietly sitting down and listening to Mina talk to me.
This time when she came back, she looked much happier, and her voice was much brighter than when she was in Hong Kong.
I looked at her and said, "It seems like married life is treating you well; your expression is different from before."
She laughed and lightly pointed at her face, saying, "The good colors created by various blushes look great even without a smile."
I was already used to her way of speaking and didn’t call her out on it; I just laughed along with her.
Longwen glanced upstairs a few times, and I guessed he probably still wanted to know about Ye Guang. There was no point in hiding it since Sister Wang still hadn’t returned. I briefly mentioned Ye Guang’s unusual situation over the past few days.
He quickly stood up and said, "I'll go check on him."
I got up to go with him, but Minara stopped me, saying, "Let Sister Liu take him."
After Longwen went upstairs, Mina smiled lightly and said, "Once we settle Miyong's matter this time, we can return to Haicheng, and then we can see each other every day again."
Hearing this news took me by surprise. It wasn't until I saw Mina's radiant expression that I began to believe what she said might actually be true.
"Weren't you guys planning to stay in Hong Kong? Why now...?" I asked.
But I saw Mina roll her eyes at me and say, "Do you really not want me to come back?"
"That's not it; I'm just curious how you suddenly came to an agreement. I thought before... oh well, I'm just happy for you. You know what I mean." I grabbed her hand, and my mood instantly brightened.
In Haicheng, I only have Mina as a friend. When I first learned that she was going to Hong Kong, I felt not only empathy for the difficulties she might face but also sadness at the thought of a friend being far away. Now that she is back, we can meet again and gather together like we used to, how could that not make someone happy?
She smiled and nodded, saying, "I know, you're probably the only one still thinking about where I am."
I glanced upstairs and said, "Isn't it like that? Isn't your family’s Mr. Long more concerned than I am?"
Mentioning Longwen made Mina's smile even broader.
After a while, she said, "The Dragon Family has assets in Haicheng. After they learned about my situation here, they proactively transferred some business to us. Now, I’m already one of the shareholders of the Dragon Family's assets along with Longwen."
Although I had thought about these things before, seeing them laid out in front of me still made me very happy for Mina.
I looked at Mina and asked, "That's great, but why didn't you mention this before?"
She shrugged and said, "He didn't even mention what his own family was like before."
Indeed, before they went to Hong Kong, I was just as clueless about Longwen's background as Mina was.
Suddenly, Mina turned to me and said, "Speaking of which, I was planning to settle accounts with your Xiao Minxing. He must have known about Longwen for a long time but didn’t let me in on it at all. What kind of friend is that?"
I shifted my body slightly and looked at Mina seriously, asking, "Does he know? When did he find out?"
Mina gritted her teeth and said, "He should have known for a long time. The Dragon Family is one of his clients; there’s no way he wouldn’t understand such a major client, especially since he’s so familiar with Longwen."
Although this is her speculation, we all know that with Xiao Minxing's style of doing things, it’s uncertain whether he knows Longwen earlier than Mina. However, when I asked him to investigate Longwen's background, this Good Fellow was so dismissive and only threw a few inconsequential pieces of information at me.
Thinking back on his recent actions, my anger flared up again.
Mina cautiously looked at my expression and asked, "What's wrong? I just said one thing, and you're already upset? Don't worry, even if there's an account to settle, I won't do anything to him. After all, he is our Anan's husband!"
After saying this, she stood up from the sand and said, "Let's go see Ye Guang. I discussed with Longwen that once things stabilize here, we will bring him over to live with us. Coincidentally, my parents are free, and since Miyong is not around, they also need a son. Taking care of Ye Guang should be better this way."
So that was their plan. If everything goes smoothly, it doesn't seem like a bad idea. I just feel too guilty towards Ye Guang.
Just as Mina and I climbed a few flights of stairs, we saw Longwen leading Ye Guang down. Ye Guang was already dressed and seemed quite happy.
Longwen said, "He knew we were coming back today, so he wanted to wear the clothes I bought for him before. He probably couldn't find them, which is why he was unhappy."
I turned to Mina and asked, "You planned this long ago; why didn't you tell me in advance? I thought something was wrong with him these past few days since he kept standing at the Entrance. I couldn't understand what he was saying."
Mina casually replied, "You know, I thought you understood him best since you were friends. But it turns out you don't know him as well as our Longwen does."
Her words made me blush.
As for Ye Guang, I had never really cared about him. Or rather, aside from Xiao Minxing, I hadn't cared about anyone else. But now I realize that I don't even understand this man.
