Chapter 2438: Chapter 2438: Reunion After a Long Separation (Part 5)

"Bang—"

The collaboration proposal in Ye Mingmei’s hand suddenly dropped to the ground. Her eyes, wide with shock, quickly filled with tears. She looked at the man who was walking step by step towards her, her mouth slightly open, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

Three years...

Time and again she had seen that familiar face in her dreams, only to awaken in the cold emptiness, filled with unbearable pain.

She had once daydreamed that one day, he would come to her whole and tell her he was back.

But when this long-desired scene unfolded before her eyes, Ye Mingmei didn’t dare move, not even daring to speak.

She was afraid that she was dreaming, and as soon as she spoke, the dream would end...

Tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes. Ye Mingmei bit her lip hard to stop herself from crying out loud.

"Miss Ye, Miss Ye?"

"Ah?"

Ye Mingmei dazedly raised her head, looking at the face overlapping completely with Yu Xiuzhun’s. Upon hearing him call her in such an unfamiliar way, her brows furrowed suddenly.

What did he call her?

Miss Ye... Yu Xiuzhun would never be so polite to address her like that!

As if something had suddenly struck her brain, awakening her, Ye Mingmei lifted her head, blankly staring at the man as he walked up to her and extended his hand.

"Hello, I am Bai Zheng, the head of YX Group. A few days ago, we officially acquired Gaoda Technology. The collaboration between Gaoda Technology and Ye Corporation has also officially been taken over by YX. I’m here today to discuss the handover of the partnership with Miss Ye."

Bai Zheng’s deep gaze flickered slightly, looking at the tears on Ye Mingmei’s face. His brows knitted briefly, and, in the next second, a gentle smile tugged at his lips. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Ye Mingmei.

"Perhaps you will need this."

"Bai Zheng?"

Ye Mingmei stared at the man before her, who looked exactly like Yu Xiuzhun, repeating the name, her eyes dazed.

She didn’t know how long it took for her to come back to her senses, turning around to wipe away her tears.

Looking at the secretary beside her, who quickly explained, "Miss, this is the new partnership head I was about to mention. Since Ye’s contract with Gaoda Technology hasn’t expired, and with the acquisition by YX, it’s now been taken over by them. Mr. Bai is the Executive President of YX."

"..."

So, he really isn’t Yu Xiuzhun?

Ye Mingmei shook her head, feeling somewhat at a loss. The extreme joy was followed by an indescribable sense of disappointment and inability to accept it!

She looked at the man in front of her. The moment her gaze met that face, it was as though she were paralyzed, unable to look away.

How could there possibly be two people in the world who look so alike?

However... Bai Zheng seemed a bit leaner, and more gracious than Yu Xiuzhun.

He didn’t have the arrogance and coldness unique to Yu Xiuzhun. Other than that face, the feelings they elicited in people were totally different...

Did she really make a mistake?

"Sorry, I need to use the restroom."

Ye Mingmei left the chair in a fluster, quickly heading into the restroom, slamming the door shut, leaning against it, as tears began to stream down her face.

Her hands pressed hard against the door panel, gripping it tight, stifling the pain in her chest to prevent herself from crying out loud.

She didn’t know how long it took before Ye Mingmei hugged herself, slowly squatting down on the ground.

Closing her eyes, the scene of Bai Zheng appearing before her played repeatedly like a movie.

She thought it—was Yu Xiuzhun who came back; she believed it was heaven giving them a chance... In the end, it was merely her own wishful thinking.
