"young married woman?"

When Qin Zheng saw her come in, he quickly stubbed out the half-burnt cigarette in his hand, stood up to dispel the smell of smoke, and strode towards her.

He took Ye Yun's hand, put his arm around her shoulder, and led her outside.

"The room smells strongly of smoke, so don't go in. I also smell strongly of smoke."

After explaining that, he immediately added, "Are you going to eat? You go downstairs and eat first. I'll take a shower and get rid of the smell of smoke on me before I go down, otherwise it will bother you and the child."

As Ye Yun was pushed around by him, she glanced at the ashtray on the desk.

There was a pile of cigarette butts inside.

Oh~ Brother, are you really worried?

Ye Yun couldn't help but look up at Qin Zheng's expression. The man seemed completely unaffected, and he put his arm around her as they went down the stairs.

Watch out for the steps.

Ye Yun: "..."

Given that Qin Zheng did smell quite strongly of cigarettes, Ye Yun wasn't in a hurry to discuss the issue with him. She obediently walked to the dining table and quietly watched him hurry upstairs to shower and change clothes.

Qin Xiang'e, who was dividing the chopsticks, sighed.

"Sigh, this little girl from the Guo family is really giving me a headache..."

Perhaps she was very angry about Guo Lili's behavior, because even the way she separated the chopsticks was tinged with anger, and the chopsticks were slammed on the marble table with a loud clatter.

Ye Xia held Xiao Chuqi in her arms, not daring to utter a sound.

"Xiao Yun..." she whispered to Ye Yun, her eyes secretly glancing at Qin Xiang'e.

Ye Yun smiled at her.

"It's alright, Mom, come and try the braised pork knuckle that Auntie learned to make today!"

...

That evening, Ye Yun went upstairs to her bedroom and saw Qin Zheng sitting alone on the balcony, lost in thought.

His figure was tall, yet it exuded a sense of melancholy.
