Just as she was about to finish speaking, she heard something from He Jichen's end - the whistle of his car mixed with sounds of other car engines.
Is He Jichen... on the road?
As suspicion flashed across Ji Yi's mind, she froze for a couple seconds then came to a realization. She quickly walked to the second-floor lobby and looked out the window.
She was right. He Jichen's car was parked by the road. He had his head lowered, standing in front of the car with his phone raised, talking to her.
The wind started to pick up since it was late in the night, wildly blowing his hair and clothes. There was a flickering light between the fingers of his other hand. It must've been a cigarette.
So after he dropped me off at China World Hotel Beijing, he never actually left. He waited downstairs all this time?
In just an instant, Ji Yi understood why He Jichen did it.
