Chapter 299 I have Lost Her Forever (3)

"Well, actually, I came back a year ago." Qing Nangong felt Yuwei Tang’s jealous gaze. She saw
Jingyan Ye's helpless face and then thought of the joke she had heard just now, she immediately
understood Jingyan Ye’s dilemma. So she asked him with a gentle smile, "Would you like to go for a
drink? I happen to have something that I need advice for."

"Sure." Jingyan Ye was only too glad to do so.

In the midst of Yuwei Tang’s angry gaze, Jingyan Ye and Qing Nangong left while talking joyfully.

Finally, Jingyan Ye could sit quietly for a while. He exhaled heavily and took a drink of wine.

"What happened? You can’t get rid of a beautiful girl?" Qing Nangong teased him.

Jingyan Ye laughed bitterly, "Little girls nowadays really don't know how to be reserved at all."

Qing Nangong smiled charmingly, "I did not expect that after so many years, you are still so popular.
You used to be the object of girls’ adoration at school. But you looked indifferent and act coldly, so no
one dared to take actions. Girls could only secretly express their love."

Jingyan Ye smiled and shook his head, trying to change the topic, "Did you come to the party alone?"

"No, I don't know Yuwei Tang. Recently I've been working on a project that needs investments from her
father, so I come by to seek personal connections."

"The Nangong family is so powerful and you still need to do this?" Jingyan Ye said casually.

Qing Nangong's eyes became dim for a moment and said with disdain, "What does the Nangong
Family have to do with me? My family wasn’t one of its branches a long time ago. Besides, it is better
to count on myself."



"Sorry. I forgot about this." Jingyan Ye said embarrassedly.

"It's okay. I got used to it long ago."

Jingyan Ye shook his glass of red wine and asked her, "What kind of project? Tell me, maybe I am also
interested."

"Really? If you're interested, I won't have to beg Mr. Tang." Qing Nangong raised her eyebrows
excitedly and told him about her project in general.

After Qing Nangong's introduction, Jingyan Ye thought about it and said, "This project should have a
good prospect. How about this, you give me a copy of the detailed plan and other related documents.
I'll ask my company to review it. If it is workable, I'll invest. During this period you may need your team
to come to Yehuang Company."

"No problem, at your beck and call." Qing Nangong's tone was full of joy, "I'm really lucky today. I
thought I just messed up Yuwei Tang's party and wouldn't get the investment. I did not expect to see a
silver lining."

Jingyan Ye smiled, "Don't be too happy now. My staff are very picky. If they don't recognize your plan,
there is nothing I can do."

"As long as you give me this chance, the rest is up to me." Qing Nangong took out the phone from her
handbag, "Is it convenient to tell me your phone number? It'll be easier to contact you in the future."

"Sure." Jingyan Ye told her his work number and email address.

"I'll send you the electronic files when I get back, and tomorrow morning I'll put the proposal to your
office desk in person."

"Well, that's fine."



When the two finished talking about business, they began to recall the experiences studying abroad.
They had drawn lot of attention. After all, Jingyan Ye was too outstanding and was the center of
attention wherever he went.

When Jingyan Ye got home, Kerry looked up at him and said, "I heard you had a good time with Hao
Nangong's niece."

Jingyan Ye tugged down his tie, slouched on the sofa and said, "She is looking for an investor, so I
talked with her for a while. Such a small thing is worth being reporting to you specifically?"

Kerry was repairing a music box, "I can’t be bothered to know about you. Someone called me to ask if
my son or daughter was going to marry into the Nangong Family. I am confused. I thought Hao
Nangong's son had crooked thoughts about Ruyi, so I asked you a few more questions."

"Please don't make me go to such parties again. Yuwei Tang is really annoying. Fortunately Qing
Nangong helped me get rid of her." Jingyan Ye rubbed his temples, still having a headache just thinking
of Yuwen Tang.

Kerry smiled and rambled on, "These years, Qing Nangong's father had experienced a lot. Luckily, he
was smart enough to send his daughter abroad in advance. I heard that Qing Nangong doesn't
disappoint her father after returning home. She refuses to take a penny from the Nangong Family and
sets up a small company the profits of which are not too low. She is a good business manager.
Sometimes, a large family is not a good thing. There are too more rules and problems. We the Ye
Family is good. Your uncle and I, as the only two heirs, are both unsophisticated people..."

Jingyan Ye could not help but interrupt him, "Dad, the word 'unsophisticated' is only suitable for uncle,
not you."

"Brat, without me where did you come from?" Kerry retorted smiling.



Jingyan Ye did not want to argue with him. He glanced at the music box in Kerry's hands and asked,
"What are you repairing this old thing for?"

"This is your mother's birthday gift from her father. These days, your mother misses her parents a lot
and often secretly sheds tears, so I want to repair this music box, so that she can get happy." Kerry
explained while lowering his head to assemble the parts. The light of the fading sun shone on Kerry,
making the scene beautiful and warm.

Jingyan Ye looked at his grey-haired father who sat casually on the carpet, fiddling with the music box
in his hands with an intent look, just for a smile in his beloved' face.

He was suddenly moved. Maybe this was what true love looked like. Love for the youth is passionate.
But when lovers gradually get old, love can be as simple as this.

After Yiyao Duan rejected him, where he should go to find another right person that he could devote his
life to, Jingyan Ye wondered. Yiyao Duan, Yiyao Duan, how good would it be if you could love me?

The next day Jingyan Ye arrived at the company, he saw Qing Nangong standing at the entrance with a
thick pile of documents. She was wearing a black suit and high heels, long hair up and coiled behind
the head and waist straight.

Suddenly he recalled his father's words that she was a good business material. He was right.

When people are cornered, they will either be obsolete completely or fight back. Obviously, Qing
Nangong chose the latter.

Jingyan Ye respected such people, regardless of their gender.

Seeing Jingyan Ye, Qing Nangong smiled in embarrassment, "Sorry, am I a little too hasty?"

"It's okay, is it heavy? Do you need some help?"



"No, thanks. It is not heavy for me at all." Qing Nangong refused his kind offer. How could she let the
president of Yehuang Company carry her files? She didn't want people to think that she got the
investment due to her personal relationships with the president before this project even started.

"Okay, please follow me."

After entering the workplace, Jingyan Ye asked Secretary Wang lead Qing Nangong to the special
team for project review. Jingyan Ye would not participate in the review at all.

When it was about time to get off work, the review team came to Jingyan Ye to report that the project
was feasible and profitable, but it would be a long-term project and a lot of money would have to be
invested.

Jingyan Ye put down the documents in his hands and said solemnly, "Money is not a problem as long
as the project is profitable. If you want to invest in a project, take full consideration of every aspect.
Don't let it go just because of my recommendation."

"Don't worry about this, President Ye. We will be scrupulous in every step."

"That's good."

For three days in a row, Jingyan Ye could hear the news reported up by the team. Qing Nangong never
appeared in front of him except for the first day they met. Even during the lunch, she sat with her own
team in the staff canteen. Nor had she sent one text message, as if she did not know him at all.

Jingyan Ye appreciated this. He disliked the kind of people who didn’t have a clear understanding of
themselves as well as the situation.

As for Xuan Zhao, she found that Jingyan Ye had become much gloomier when he returned to work
after having three days off, and that he didn't call Yiyao Duan in the office, so she inferred that a



problem must have arisen between they two, for which she was secretly happy for several days.

This evening, Jingyan Ye turned off the computer and took the elevator to the lobby where he met Qing
Nangong.

"It seems to be going well." Jingyan Ye guessed from her delighted face.

"I really need to thank you this time." Qing Nangong smiled.

"You are welcome. If the project passes the review, it is profitable for both parties."

As they walked side by side, Jingyan Ye asked, "Why are you alone?"

"Today is Chinese Valentine's Day. My teammates have gone to celebrate the holiday early, so I am
alone."

"Valentine's Day?" Jingyan Ye raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have never celebrated this holiday,
"Then why don't you go for a drink with friends?"
