PLAYBOY CEO HAS A BABY

CHAPTER 316

After Yang Wenkai left the bathroom, he prepared a sweater and pyjamas. Then he went to get a hairdryer for Ye Yumi. After that, he went to the kitchen to prepare hot ginger tea for her.

His thoughts kept spiralling. He had questions to ask. Why did she not bring her car? Why did she not go home directly? Where has she been? How many bottles of alcohol did she have?

But with all these questions, Yang Wenkai was sure of one thing or two things in fact. First, it was that she must have gone to a bar or a club. The second is that she is not coming from work.

So what would make Ye Yumi want to go to a bar or a club to drink? He sighed. So much for wanting to enjoy the cold weather.

"Sigh. I should make a hangover soup for her just in case she had way too many bottles to drink," Yang Wenkai said.

After the hangover soup and ginger tea were prepared, Yang Wenkai took them up in a food tray to his room. He knocked twice and waited for a response.

"Yumi, are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes," Ye Yumi answered.

p "Are you done? Should I come on yet?"

"Yeah. I am done. Come in," she said.

Given the go-ahead, Yang Wenkai twisted the doorknob, pushed open the door and stepped in. Ye Yumi was standing by the bathroom door when he came in.

He accessed her with a glance first then he smiled. Closing the door, he walked further into the room and carefully placed the food tray on his bed.

"Is aunt at home? I hope you did not tell anyone, including my parents that I am here," Ye Yumi said.

"Yes and no," Yang Wenkai answered. "Hey. You do not look alright. I want to ask you a lot of questions but you need to..."

Yang Wenkai was interrupted by Ye Yumi's abrupt embrace. He was shocked. Then, her sudden outburst of tears came in.

He had no idea of how to comfort a crying woman. Should he hug her back? Should he just let her use his chest as a crying thingy? Should he tell her not to cry and that everything will be okay?

The last one sounded stupid. He did not even know the source of her sadness. How could he tell her everything will be okay? Yang Wenkai picked the first option. He wrapped his hands around her and just let her cry as much as she want.

From what he knows in some situations, it was better to let all you are feeling out than to bottle it up. Slowly and gently, he moved one of his hands up and down in repeated motion on her back.

Seeing her crying, made him remember their childhood. Ye Yumi was a cry baby amongst all of them. Now that he thinks of it, she loved hugs whenever she cries.

For what reason he had no idea. Maybe it was what all children like back then. But it turns out that the Ye Yumi back then was still the same now.

After her crying reduced to sobs, he pulled away from the hug and looked down at her.

"Are you feeling a little bit better now?" He asked.

Ye Yumi shook her head. Yang Wenkai's brows raised. It seems like she has it bad.

"You need to take something first. I know you drank so I made hangover soup for you. As for your cold, the ginger tea will help a lot," Yang Wenkai said.

"I do not want to take anything," Ye Yumi said in a cracked voice.

"You can't tell me that," Yang Wenkai frowned at her words.

"I don't have an appetite. I only drank a few glasses of whiskey, I do not need the hangover soup," Ye Yumi remained stubborn.

"You must and you will eat. A few glasses of whiskey is too much for you. The soup is not much either. You might get sick."

"I don't want anything. I-"

"Come on. Sit here. It does not taste bad. After taking the soup and tea, we will talk, okay?" Yang Wenkai said in a firm yet soft voice.

"I don-"

"Ye Yumi... Do not be stubborn now."

Ye Yumi sighed in defeat. She had no choice but to drink the soup and tea. After Yang Wenkai made her drink almost the full bowl of the soup, he let her rest.

"So... Do you want to tell me about what happened to you?" He started a conversation.

"I don't know. I just... sigh. I feel so stupid."

"You are not. Stop saying that and stop crying."

"I can't," Ye Yumi covered her lips as she cried.

"You have to. Okay, let me ask you something. Why did you not drive here or inform me that you were coming or rather to come and pick you up from wherever you were?" Yang Wenkai asked.

"I did not think of that. I just wanted to get away from there. I just rushed into a parked cab and called out any location for the driver to take me to."

"That was dangerous. But you are okay which is kind of good. But what happened? Why did you drink?"

"I was to go out... on a date," Ye Yumi said.

"A date?" Yang Wenkai's heart sunk.

"Yes. Well, this guy, he was a guy from college. I used to have... feelings for him back then. So we met like a month ago *sob* and we started going out for business and then he... he told me he loves me and would like for us to go out... on a real date. That is not a friendly date," she explained.

"Which is today?" Yang Wenkai asked.

"Yes. The foolishness and stupidity in me made me excited. I got to our designated place on time but *sob* he wasn't there. Rong You stood me up."
