After Becoming a Supporting Role with a Child, I'm Fought Over by CEOs

Contemporary college student Ye Zhao stayed up all night working on a thesis and died of exhaustion, transmigrating into the CEO's fiancée and becoming a calculating supporting role.

Well...

Chapter 42 The Alluring Actress

Four years ago, Ye Zhao left City A and went to the Yan family in City B with Yan Xu.

After a long time apart, even though they initially viewed Ye Zhao with prejudice, they gradually noticed her changes as they spent more time together, and their relationship improved considerably. Especially after Yuanbao was born, Ye Zhao felt that she had benefited from his presence, and the Yan family became increasingly close to her, with them seeing each other more and more often in the past two years.

"When are you coming? Grandma's been talking about you these past few days." Yan Xi's face appeared on the other side of the screen.

Ye Zhao sighed and said, "I've been quite busy lately, so it might be a while before I can get back to work."

Yan Xi pouted: "Fine, you're a very busy person."

Ye Zhao knew she was teasing her, and smiled, "How has Grandma been feeling these past few days? How are Uncle and Aunt?"

On the screen, Yan Xi touched Yuanbao's chubby little face and slowly replied, "Everything is fine, it's just that my brother is a bit busy. He went to City A again yesterday, and I don't know what he's busy with."

Ye Zhao just smiled and didn't say anything. She talked to Yuanbao for a while before hanging up the phone.

Thinking of City A, Ye Zhao felt a mix of emotions.

Four years ago, she left City A. At first, she kept in touch with Shen Du. Occasionally, Yang Xu would ask about her health, probably to report to Shen Du. But later, the greetings that used to come twice a month became once a month. Even after Ye Zhao fell and Yuan Bao went into premature labor, he didn't call to ask about it. Ye Zhao was exhausted during that time and didn't even think of contacting him. The two lost contact after that.

There was only one person Ye Zhao felt guilty about. When Yuanbao was first born in the hospital, Grandpa Shen had inquired about the child's condition. However, Yuanbao was still in an incubator at the time, and Ye Zhao was afraid that telling the truth would worry the old man. So she only said that the child was fine and then hurriedly hung up the phone. But later, Yuanbao's condition worsened, and her mood was also affected. She ignored the calls from the Shen family. Perhaps they thought she was getting impatient, so they called less and less, and eventually, there was no news from them at all.

Over the past year, Yuanbao's health has improved, and Ye Zhao has also thought of Grandpa Shen. She still feels a little guilty, but she has not thought of contacting him. Since they have cut ties completely, she might as well be thorough.

Thinking of all this, she sighed softly, glanced at the sky, got up, and went out.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Shen Group in City A, Shen Du and Yan Xu sat facing each other.

He was still wearing a well-tailored suit, his facial features were clean and sharp, and his prominent features looked exceptionally handsome under the light. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on his phone, silently looking at something, and his expression showed a rare hint of softness.

Yan Xu stared silently at the tall buildings outside the window for a moment before saying, "When I arrived, Yuanbao was still at home. She raised the child very well; she's well-behaved, polite, and very clever—a little devil for her age..."

Thinking of Yuanbao's mischievous and clever appearance, Yan Xu had a faint smile on his lips.

"Are you sure you don't want to go take a look?" Yan Xu turned his head and asked again.

Upon hearing this, Chen Du slowly raised his head, looked at Yan Xu, and said, "No, thank you."

His voice was low and emotionless.

Seeing this, Yan Xu sighed and said, "I can see you like this child quite a bit, why don't you go and see him? He's your own child after all..."

Shen Du did not answer his question, remaining silent.

Yan Xu glanced at him, stood up and said, "I came here to start a project. I can't talk to you any longer. I have a social engagement tonight. Contact me if you need anything else."

As Shen Du watched Yan Xu's retreating figure leave the office, his gaze returned to his phone. Looking at the energetic child in the photo, a smile appeared on his lips.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go see her, but he felt that since Ye Zhao wanted peace and quiet, he shouldn't disturb her. After all, she was raising the child very well, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

Someone knocked on the door and came in, interrupting Chen Du's turbulent thoughts.

"Mr. Shen, the dinner with President Senlai is at 8 PM. Shall we go now?"

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Yao has also changed quite a bit. She wore a white chiffon blouse, a black fishtail skirt, and slender high heels. Her long hair was slightly curled and draped behind her, making her look intellectual and elegant.

Chen Du nodded, stood up, and said, "Let's go."

Xie Yao followed him out of the office, her gaze falling on the tall figure in front of her, her eyes filled with complex emotions. However, upon seeing the other people outside, she completely concealed her emotions.

In recent years, Shen Du has devoted himself almost entirely to his work. He has not only done better and better in Shen's original fields, but has also developed other projects and invested in many industries. Shen Du has helped with the TV series that Shu Yang recently started filming.

The other party at tonight's dinner party, Senlai, is currently the largest entertainment and media company in City A, and it's also the company where Shu Yang works.

As Xie Yao expected, Shu Yang was also at the dinner party.

As she followed Chen Du inside, her eyes met those of Shu Yang in the private room; both of them had different thoughts.

Senlai President Liang Tao quickly stood up and invited Shen Du: "President Shen, this way please."

Xie Yao was following behind Shen Du and was about to sit down when Shu Yang suddenly pushed her to the other side.

"Adu, I haven't seen you for several days. What have you been busy with?" Shu Yang sat down next to Shen Du.

Xie Yao glanced at Shu Yang's profile, her expression unchanged, and sat down beside her.

Everyone knows that Senlai Shuyang is someone that Shen Du of the Shen Group wants to promote. Even Liang Tao has to be very polite to her, simply because she and Shen Du have an unusually close relationship.

Chen Du glanced at her and replied, "Busy with work. Is filming finished?"

Shu Yang laughed and said, "Not yet. I just heard that President Liang wanted to have dinner with you, so I rushed back."

Shu Yang entered the entertainment industry three years ago and became a sensation with a campus idol drama called "Secret Love". Since then, her career has been smooth sailing, and in the past two years, no one has been able to match her popularity in the entertainment industry.

Red is a color that makes one look better, and she has become even more beautiful in the past two years. A bright red halter dress does not look gaudy on her. With her exquisite makeup and chestnut brown long curly hair, she looks charming and alluring with a unique style.

Shen Du seemed not to understand the hidden meaning in her words, and only said: "I heard that the progress of 'The Psychologist' is a bit slow. If you don't have to, try not to waste time."

"The Psychologist" is a new drama that Shu Yang is currently filming. Upon hearing this, Shu Yang was stunned for a moment, and a dark look flashed across his lowered eyes.

A moment later, she looked up, smiled indifferently, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back after this meal."

Shen Du had heard about Shu Yang's diva-like behavior and delays in filming. He hadn't planned to interfere, but considering the rumors that Shu Yang was backed by the Shen family, he still offered a word of advice.
