I patted Mother Hu's shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the Shen residence."

After saying that, I left without looking back.

The Shen family's driver was still waiting for me outside the yard. When he saw me coming out, he hurried over to open the door for me.

After getting in the car, the driver turned his head and looked at me cautiously, then asked, "Miss, are you going back to the Shen residence?"

I nodded and said, "We are going back to the Shen residence, but there is no rush. You can drive me around. I have been in a coma for five years and just woke up. I feel that the world has changed so much that I don't recognize many places anymore. I want to go around."

The driver smiled and started the car. He said, "Miss, you are absolutely right. Beijing has changed a lot in the past five years. Many high-rise buildings have suddenly appeared. Many times I have to use the navigation to find a place."

The driver drove very steadily, and the car slid into the traffic like a loach without any bumps at all.

In my previous life, I had been to Beijing before. At that time, I followed my mentor to various places for academic exchanges, and Beijing was the place I visited most often. Because it has the best hospitals and doctors in the country, I had the opportunity to communicate with them and learn very valuable medical experience.

The driver drove me around, and this Beijing city was indeed different from the one I remembered. The streets were still prosperous, with tall buildings and a huge flow of people, but none of the street names and iconic buildings I remembered were there. Those people seemed to be in a hurry, but if you looked closely, you would find that they walked past, then turned back, and then walked past again.

At this moment I was truly sure that this was not the real world!

Anyone who has seen The Truman Show knows that Truman was trapped in a huge studio for thirty years. His parents were fake, and even his wife was fake.

But fake is always fake, just like this world, everyone speaks and acts in a formulaic way. They will never cry when they should laugh, and will never walk when they should run.

They knew this world was fake, but I still had some story missions to complete, so they wouldn't let me go.

After a few turns, I felt that it was boring, so I said to the driver: "Let's go back. I'm tired."

The driver seemed relieved and said, "Okay, miss."

It was dark when I returned to Shen's house. During the journey, I received countless text messages from Shen Li, asking me where I was, what I was doing, and when I could go home.

These text messages are like countless tight hoops, and each one tightens my nerves.

Now I finally understand why Zhao Yiyi doesn't like Shen Li, because as long as you show a little affection, he will want to control you firmly in his hands, turning you into a puppet, with no personal freedom at all, and he has the final say.

I sighed and replied with only four words: "Almost home."

As a result, I received countless messages. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I called Shen Li and scolded him: "As a CEO, don't you have to deal with official business? Why are you so free? If you have nothing to do, go and deal with Shen Yi, so that he won't come out to hurt people again. Don't keep picking on me, okay?"

There was silence for a long time before a voice came from the microphone: "Yiyi, I miss you, so I can't help but keep sending you messages. If you don't like it, then I won't send you messages in the future. Please don't be angry, okay?"

I was holding my breath. At this moment, the car just entered the gate of the Shen family mansion. I saw that there were already servants coming out to greet us. I had no choice but to say, "I'm home. If you have nothing to do, come back early. I promised to have dinner with you tonight."

When Shen Li heard this, his tone immediately brightened up and he said, "Okay, I'll go home as soon as I finish the work at hand."

After hanging up the phone, the servant came over to help me open the car door. When I got out of the car, I saw Sun Yi leaning against a big pillar next to the gate of the mansion, looking at me quietly.

The moment I saw Sun Yi, my heart started pounding again and I couldn't help but walk towards Sun Yi.

When Sun Yi saw me, he simply asked, "Are you back?"

Sun Yi's tone was the same as Gongsun Wen's, indifferent and distant, never warm, but he revealed his love for me everywhere. These two extremely contradictory emotions were blended together in a strange way, giving me the illusion that he really liked me.

I nodded and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Sun Yi looked at me deeply and said, "I'm waiting for you."

Although I still feel that my emotions are being led by Sun Yi, since I realized that this was not my intention, I have begun to look at Sun Yi with a more bystander's attitude.

While Sun Yi was speaking, I kept staring at him, carefully observing his expression and movements. After such a close look, I indeed discovered the problem.

He looked at me with what seemed to be affectionate eyes, but in fact I saw a hint of impatience and disgust in his eyes.

Yes, disgust!

How ironic, the person I thought was interested in me actually hates me!

I must have been so blind not to see it before.

Seeing that I was staring at him, Sun Yi asked awkwardly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

I asked bluntly, "I don't think I have offended you. What do you hate about me?"

Sun Yi was shocked when he heard this and looked at me in disbelief. When he saw that I didn't look like I was joking, cracks began to appear on his cold face.

Seeing that Sun Yi didn't say anything, I continued, "Is it because you don't like me at all, but you have to pretend to be deeply in love with me and have an infatuated attitude that makes you feel disgusted?"

Sun Yi was a little caught off guard by my straightforward question, but he was a smart man and quickly reacted. His face darkened and he said, "When did I ever say I liked you? Don't be so self-indulgent. Don't think that all men in the world will like you just because you are beautiful. This trick of yours won't work on me."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he strode out the door.

I sneered and shouted behind him, "Are you desperate? It seems your tricks are not very clever, and you are not thick-skinned enough. Otherwise, you will be furious if I expose you."

Sun Yi paused, his back was straight, but his hands were clenched into fists, and he seemed to be trying hard to suppress his emotions.

I walked over slowly and said, "Can you tell me where this place is? Why am I here again?"

Sun Yi said coldly: "As long as you return to your original world, you will understand everything."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he walked away.

I really want to pin him to the ground and beat him up, but I don’t know his identity yet, so I can’t beat him for the time being.

I was so angry that I yelled, "If you hate me, why did you chase me to this place?"

Sun Yi paused again, but this time he did not evade. He just said coldly: "It's just my duty."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he really left without looking back.
