In the night in City B, the neon lights were dazzling, and the air was getting cooler. Ye Zhao felt a little cold sitting in the taxi.

Having gotten used to the weather in Shangyang, she forgot to check the weather forecast for B city when she went out today, and still wore a dress. As soon as she got off the plane, she felt a chill.

The airport was quite far from the Yan family residence, and it took Ye Zhao more than an hour to get there. When she got out of the car, the old man at the gate hurriedly helped her with her luggage and said with a smile, "Yuanbao went out with the master and hasn't come back yet!"

Ye Zhao smiled at him and said gently, "It's okay, I'll wait a bit. Have you eaten yet?"

The old man smiled and said, "They've eaten, and the old lady and madam have eaten too. Miss Ye, you haven't eaten, have you? I'll have Old Zhao make you another serving."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, please ask Aunt Zhao to make less. I have a small appetite."

"Okay, I'll take your luggage upstairs for you."

"Thank you for your hard work."

You're too kind.

Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhao are an elderly couple who have been with the Yan family for many years and are also very familiar with Ye Zhao.

When Ye Zhao walked into the living room, her grandmother and aunt were chatting. They stood up with a look of surprise when they saw her: "Zhao Zhao is here?"

Grandma Yan turned her head and saw her, a kind smile on her face: "Zhaozhao is here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Yang Meijia quickly added, "That's right, why didn't you send a driver to pick you up? You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll have Aunt Zhao make you something new..."

Ye Zhao quickly stopped her: "Uncle Wang has already spoken to Aunt Zhao, so you don't need to bother. I'll just eat something simple."

Yang Meijia said with a disapproving look, "How can that be? Look how thin you are..."

"Oh my... Look at me, even my mom doesn't care about me that much." Yan Xi said sarcastically as she came down the stairs.

Yang Meijia glared at her with a smile, and said with a laugh, "You think you can compare to Zhao Zhao? Look at the fat all over your face..."

Ye Zhao smiled and pulled Yang Meijia and Yan Xi to sit down on the sofa: "Auntie, there's really no need to make a fuss. I'm not hungry, I can just eat whatever I want."

After saying that, she moved closer to Grandma Yan and asked, "Grandma, how have you been lately? Does your leg still hurt?"

Grandma Yan patted her affectionately, then looked at her dress and frowned, saying, "I'm perfectly fine, why are you wearing so little? Don't catch a cold."

"It's okay, I'm perfectly healthy!"

Ye Zhao hadn't visited for three months. After such a long time, the group had a lot to talk about. Aunt Zhao quickly prepared two simple dishes and a soup for Ye Zhao. She ate her meal leisurely and chatted with the others. Time passed slowly until nine o'clock when the sound of a car came from outside the gate.

Ye Zhao hadn't seen her child for several days, so she was naturally happy. She stood up and walked out, but just as she reached the door, she suddenly heard a deep, magnetic voice. Ye Zhao paused for a moment, then turned and walked back.

"What's wrong?" Yang Meijia asked as she followed behind her and saw her turn around and walk back.

Ye Zhao didn't speak. Hearing the sounds getting closer and closer outside the door, she quickly went up the stairs.

As Shen Du carried Yuanbao through the door, she caught a glimpse of a light pink hem of a skirt on the stairs.

"Mrs. Yan".

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanbao in his arms suddenly looked back, and then fell directly towards Yang Meijia, calling out, "Grandma."

His voice held a hint of grievance. Yang Meijia caught him with practiced ease, holding him in her arms and calling him her precious darling.

Yan Sen stood to the side and politely said, "President Chen, would you like to come in and have a seat?"

Chen Du shook his head: "No, thank you for troubling Uncle Yan these next two days."

Yan Sen waved his hand: "Old Master Shen did my family a great favor in our early years, why are you being so polite? What I did were just trivial matters."

Shen Du added, "I'll leave the child in your care."

"You're too kind, it's all my duty."

After saying that, Yan Sen saw Shen Du off, and Yang Meijia also took the child into the house.

Shen Du strode towards the gate, when he suddenly heard the extremely clear sound of ingots coming from the Yan residence, and he unconsciously slowed his pace.

Yuanbao's voice was filled with joy and excitement.

"Mom! Mom! I miss you so much..."

Chen Du subconsciously stopped in his tracks, but resumed his hurried pace two seconds later and headed towards the car outside the gate.

Since Ye Zhao doesn't want to see him, he doesn't need to disturb her peace. After all, the only thing connecting them is the child.

It had only been a few days, but Ye Zhao felt as if years had passed. She held the child in her arms, and the unique milky scent of Yuanbao filled the air. Ye Zhao sighed contentedly.

Yuanbao, who had been happy just moments before, suddenly started crying pitifully after hugging Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao quickly hugged him and comforted him.

Yang Meijia looked at Yan Sen and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to the company this afternoon? Is it because the child is too clingy and you can't leave?"

She asked casually, but Yan Sen sighed, both amused and exasperated, and pointed at Yuanbao, saying, "This kid is smart. He's only three years old, but he dared to call the police and send Grandpa Shen and President Shen to the police station."

Yang Meijia and the others looked surprised, and Yan Xi quickly asked, "What happened?"

Yan Sen smiled and recounted the whole story, leaving Yang Meijia and the others both amused and exasperated, but they all praised Yuanbao for doing the right thing.

Ye Zhao held the child and tried to soothe him for a while before he calmed down, but he was very clingy. Ye Zhao even had to wait outside the bathroom door to watch over him.

At the same time, Chen Du went directly to the airport and returned to City A.

The old man arranged for someone to pick him up early the next morning.

His original intention was to go back and deal with the backlog of work, but as soon as he got off the plane, he received a lot of messages and phone calls.

Shen Du frowned and was about to open the message to check when a call from He Jie suddenly popped up.

"What is it?" His voice was deep, his tone as calm as ever.

He Jie asked, "What are you doing? Didn't you see the news?"

Shen Du frowned and asked, "What news?"

He Jie added, "I don't know which paparazzi released the video of you and Shu Yang having dinner. It's causing quite a stir online. I watched the video too. You two were so intimate. Could you really be secretly dating?"

Shen Du's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He turned to look at Yang Xu and asked, "Me and Shu Yang?"

Yang Xu had obviously just seen the message, and nodded with a serious expression.

He Jie quickly replied, "Yeah, I was wondering if you two were really up to something? You should have said so earlier, we'd all be happy to see it happen..."

Chen Du interrupted him in a deep voice: "That's not true. I'll have someone investigate what happened."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and said to Yang Xu, "Go and find out what's going on."

"yes."

Meanwhile, intimate videos and rumors about Shen Du and Shu Yang having dinner together are rampant in major media outlets and online.
