At this moment, Jiang Che and his brother were walking out along the bluestone street.

Jiang Ze glanced back, then smiled and put his arm around Jiang Che's shoulder, saying, "How about it? Zhao Zhao is pretty good, isn't she? How about we get her to be my sister-in-law?"

Jiang Che brushed his hand away with a look of disgust and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You just spout off."

Jiang Ze smiled and said, "I'm serious, what if someone else snatches her away if you don't act soon?"

Jiang Che still said, "When are you going to get rid of this habit of talking nonsense?"

Jiang Ze pursed his lips and sighed inwardly. He could clearly sense that his brother was interested in Ye Zhao, but he just didn't take any action. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Back when they were still in City A, he noticed something was off about his brother, but he didn't confront him. He secretly observed him for a while, but didn't find anything.

When Jiang Ze arrived in Shangyang and met Ye Zhao, he suddenly felt that she and his older brother were a perfect match, which is why he said those words to the two of them, though there was an element of joking in them.

Until this morning, he didn't feel anything was wrong between the two of them, but a downpour made him realize his brother's thoughts.

Although he was somewhat rebellious since childhood, he almost always obeyed his brother's orders, so he knew his brother fairly well. Over the years, he had never seen his brother pay so much attention to any other woman. At first, he thought he was overthinking it, after all, Ye Zhao and Shen Du had that kind of relationship and they had a child together. Given his brother's personality, he wouldn't have any entanglement with Ye Zhao.

But as he drove towards Beishan in the pouring rain, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Logically speaking, it's understandable that his brother would ask a few people to help search for Ye Zhao after he was trapped on the mountain during a heavy rainstorm. Why did he go up there himself? It just doesn't make sense. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. After he took Ye Zhao home and then to the hospital, and his brother repeatedly sent messages to inquire about Ye Zhao's condition, he became even more certain of his suspicions.

At the same time, he couldn't understand why his brother, who had the idea, didn't take action.

Jiang Ze couldn't see through Jiang Che's thoughts, so he didn't say anything more. Jiang Che, however, lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

...

After a heavy rain, the next day the sun shone brightly, the sky was clear and blue, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and plants.

Ye Zhao got up early, tidied herself up, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. They rarely ate at home, so there was hardly any food at home, but they still had noodles. She boiled water and was about to cook a bowl of noodles when there was a knock on the door.

"Zhaozhao! Zhaozhao! Get up! I'm here to pick you up for breakfast!" The chattering sounded like a sparrow, and you could tell it was Jiang Ze.

Ye Zhao limped over to open the door, shouting as she did so, "I know! Can you keep your voice down a bit...?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door in front of her was pulled open, and her voice stopped abruptly!

Jiang Ze appeared before her, carrying a huge bunch of green lisianthus, his face beaming with a smile brighter than any flower.

"Ta-da! Aren't you surprised? Here's a beautiful bouquet of flowers for you, wishing you a speedy recovery."

To be honest, Ye Zhao was quite touched. She smiled and accepted the huge bouquet of flowers, asking, "Why is it such a big bouquet? And it's green..."

Jiang Ze smiled and said, "Green looks vibrant..."

Seeing Ye Zhao holding the bouquet of flowers and looking at it with eyes full of surprise, Jiang Ze quickly said, "Don't fall in love with me, I already have a girlfriend."

Ye Zhao chuckled and clicked her tongue, then said, "Sit down for a while, I'm about to cook some noodles."

Jiang Ze quickly stopped her: "No, Xiao Lin has already prepared your portion. Let's just go over and eat. You'll be going over there later anyway."

Ye Zhao pointed towards the bedroom and said, "Yuanbao is still sleeping..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuanbao opened the bedroom door from the inside.

His hair was very messy, and he had sleep marks on his face. He stood barefoot behind the door, looking at Ye Zhao with a drowsy expression, and called out "Mom".

Jiang Ze saw him and said, "He's awake. Is that alright now?"

Ye Zhao hurriedly put down the flowers in her arms and limped over to Yuanbao: "Baby's awake? Shall we wash up and go find Uncle Lin for breakfast?"

Yuanbao noticed Ye Zhao's walking posture and his gaze fell on her feet. His little face was filled with anxiety: "Mommy, what's wrong with your feet? Does it hurt?"

As he asked, he ran to Ye Zhao's side, squatted down, and carefully examined Ye Zhao's ankle.

Ye Zhao smiled and helped him up. Seeing his anxious expression, she quickly comforted him, "Mom is fine, she'll be alright in a few days."

Yuanbao looked at her ankle with a pained expression, his little face scrunched up as he asked, "Does it hurt, Mommy?"

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt. The doctor has bandaged my wound. Uncle Ze is waiting for us to go over for dinner. Shall we go wash up first?"

Yuanbao then looked at Chen Du behind Ye Zhao. Their eyes met, and Yuanbao suddenly looked at Jiang Ze and said, "I want Uncle Aze to take me to wash up."

Ye Zhao was taken aback, then said, "Baby, Uncle Aze is a guest..."

"Okay!" Her voice was interrupted as Jiang Ze, who was on the sofa, stood up with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to wash up."

After saying that, he walked over, took Yuanbao's hand, and headed towards the bathroom. Ye Zhao called out to him, but Jiang Ze just smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just washing my face and brushing my teeth."

Yuanbao turned to her and said, "Mom, I'm all clean and ready to come out!"

These two... Ye Zhao looked at the closed bathroom door and had a bad feeling.

Moments later, the sounds of arguing could be heard coming from the bathroom.

"Uncle Aze, this is the children's toothpaste."

"Your towel is so small."

"The water is too cold, Uncle."

"Are you going to wash your curly hair or not?"

"No, I won't wash it."

A few minutes later, the two people, one big and one small, finally opened the door and came out of the bathroom.

Ye Zhao noticed that Yuanbao's face was wet, his hair was wet, and his pajamas were wet. Jiang Ze's clothes also had some water stains on them. He met Ye Zhao's gaze and pointed at Yuanbao, saying, "He's not cooperating."

Yuanbao looked at him accusingly: "Uncle Aze almost drowned me..."

"That little bit of water can't possibly drown you?"

"I'm just a kid, so of course I only need a little bit of water..."

Ye Zhao was speechless. She quickly pulled Yuanbao to blow-dry her hair and change her clothes. After they were all dressed up, she took Yuanbao to the Green Field.

Xiaolin made a very lavish breakfast, including steamed buns, dumplings, and even some pastries.

He smiled and said to Ye Zhao, "Boss, I made some extra pastries. Mu Xu and those brothers worked hard yesterday. I'll take them over to them later to let them try some, as a small token of my appreciation."

This was originally Ye Zhao's responsibility, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved. Over the past year, she had gotten along with them more like a family, and they had even thought of this for her.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for all that work..."

Kobayashi grinned and said, "It's nothing. The boss is so good to us, it's only right that we do something for him."

What he said was true. Although things were sometimes busy at Green Field, Ye Zhao treated people very well. Not only did she pay a high salary, but she also never refused to help with anything at home. Naturally, Xiao Lin and the others did their best in everything they did.

Xiao Lin made some snacks, and Ye Zhao didn't delay. After breakfast, she asked him to buy a lot of fruit and food, and they went to Fenglin together.

When they arrived, Jiang Che was having a meeting with his employees.
