Yang Wan? Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment before she remembered who Yang Wan was, so she hurriedly asked, "Her? What happened to her?"

Jiang Che turned to look at Ye Zhao before continuing, "It's my fault, really, because of her relationship with a high-ranking member of our group..."

As Jiang Che spoke, his expression became somewhat unnatural, and his tone became hesitant: "My relationship with Manager Gao, a senior executive in our group, is a bit complicated. I only found out about it recently, and I haven't found a suitable opportunity to tell you..."

The main problem was that he found it difficult to talk about, since it was his own people who had poached him, and he had never known how to explain it to Ye Zhao.

The relationship is a bit complicated? Ye Zhao didn't understand what he meant at first, but seeing Jiang Che's troubled expression, she vaguely understood.

She was silent for a moment, then pressed on, "When did this happen? Has Yang Wan been in City A the whole time?"

Jiang Che's expression remained somewhat unpleasant as he spoke about this matter.

"It's been quite a while, to be honest. It's my fault. That person's private circle has always been very chaotic, but he's very capable, so I've always turned a blind eye to his affairs. Who knew that he and Yang Wan..." Jiang Che said, his tone becoming somewhat indignant.

Seeing this, Ye Zhao quickly said, "How can you be blamed for this? They have messy private lives..."

Ye Zhao wasn't very surprised. After the Ye family went bankrupt, Yang Wan and her two children ran off with the money, which was enough to prove their character. But in the end, these things had nothing to do with her. As for Ye Feng, she didn't know whether she should say a word to him.

As if he could read Ye Zhao's mind, Jiang Che said, "They came to me to inquire about the Ye family's affairs, and that's how I found out about this. President Ye's condition is still not stable, so I'll talk to him about it later."

Ye Zhao thought the same thing. After all, Ye Feng and Yang Wan had been married for many years. It wouldn't be too late to tell him after his condition stabilized, so that he would at least be informed.

Jiang Che finally breathed a sigh of relief after telling him about it. He slowly asked, "You won't blame me for telling you this so late, will you?"

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "What's so strange about that? It's not a big deal..."

Jiang Che's tone became lighter: "That's good..."

Ye Zhao actually understood what Jiang Che was worried about. He felt that he hadn't managed his subordinate well, allowing him to do such a thing, which was somewhat shameful. So he was too embarrassed to bring it up with Ye Zhao. But Ye Zhao didn't care at all. She had no feelings for that stepmother, and besides, she also felt ashamed...

A married woman having an affair and abandoning her bankrupt and seriously ill husband is something most people wouldn't do.

Since it had nothing to do with Ye Zhao, she listened to it briefly and then ignored it.

Jiang Che seemed much more relaxed after telling Ye Zhao about the incident, and started talking about the movie.

"I saw good reviews for the first two seasons online and I've always wanted to watch them. Now I finally have someone to watch them with."

Ye Zhao teased, "I thought you weren't interested in these things..."

Jiang Che immediately replied, "How could that be? I'm still very interested in good movies, but I'm busy with work and don't have many friends, so I rarely go to the cinema. I usually watch them in my home theater..."

They usually watch it at home. Ye Zhao glanced at him and exclaimed, "Are you in Versailles?"

The movie we're going to watch today has no legitimate online resources, and most people don't have a home theater.

Jiang Che chuckled: "What did I mean? It's just that going to the movies alone is weird, and I don't like that kind of environment, so I prefer watching movies at home..."

Ye Zhao laughed and said, "So you're still going to the cinema today?"

Jiang Che smiled and glanced at her, replying, "Because you're with me, I like anywhere."

As soon as Ye Zhao turned her head, she saw the smile in his eyes and brows, his expression so vivid that she couldn't help but smile back at him.

As they spend more time together, the two of them begin to show sides of themselves that they had never shown before. Ye Zhao finds Jiang Che in this new light to be fresh and interesting, with a touch of youthful energy, and very vibrant.

When talking about his favorite movies, Jiang Che's facial expressions became much more lively, and he talked a lot more, never stopping. Ye Zhao listened attentively with a smile the whole time, without interrupting him.

When they arrived at the movie theater and were about to get out of the car, Jiang Che came to his senses and hesitantly asked, "You don't mind that I talk too much, do you?"

Ye Zhao couldn't help but laugh when she saw his cautious and somewhat annoyed look. Her eyes sparkled, her smile was as bright as spring flowers, and her hair fluttered in the breeze. She seemed to be glowing. Jiang Che watched quietly, feeling as if his mind was soaring with her hair.

"No, I like it very much." Ye Zhao suppressed her smile, looked into Jiang Che's eyes, and answered seriously.

Jiang Che felt his mind completely captivated by Ye Zhao, becoming somewhat sluggish. Hearing this, he paused for several seconds before slowly asking, "What do you like?"

Ye Zhao smiled, leaned closer to Jiang Che, looked earnestly into his eyes, and whispered, "I like you!"

In just a moment, Jiang Che felt as if a giant hand had gripped his heart, causing his heart to beat faster and his breathing to become increasingly rapid.

After saying this, Ye Zhao smiled and moved away slightly, a sly smile in her eyes.

Jiang Che's eyes darkened, his gaze fixed on Ye Zhao, a helpless yet indulgent smile on his face, as he whispered, "You bad boy!"

Ye Zhao's smile grew even brighter as she turned to unbuckle her seatbelt and said, "Let's go, get out of the car."

The moment she finished speaking, the car lights went out. Ye Zhao instinctively turned her head, and the next second, Jiang Che gently kissed her lips…

I like you too.

Jiang Che leaned close to her and whispered something, his breath hitting Ye Zhao's face. Ye Zhao felt as if her face was burning hot.

They didn't know how much time had passed before they separated, each panting heavily.

In the dark, cramped space, their rapid breathing was clearly audible. Ye Zhao wiped her mouth and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Could you be a little gentler next time..."

In the dim light, Jiang Che looked quite embarrassed, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he replied, "I'll be gentler next time..."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Ye Zhao's lips. Feeling the warmth and softness in his palm, Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, then abruptly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.

Ye Zhao found him somewhat inexplicable, touched her swollen lips, and said, "Let's go, get out of the car."

Jiang Che suddenly reached out and grabbed her, whispering, "Zhaozhao, let me calm down..."

His voice was low and hoarse, tinged with a hint of embarrassment.

Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red, feeling as if Jiang Che's hand holding her was burning hot.
