Praise You

Shen Lianxing raised his hand to slap Ye Yuanyin but didn't bring it down. His arm was blocked by Shen Yan'an who rushed over. His face was dark and full of boredom. "Alright, auntie, how many more times do you want to hit her?"

"You! You two—how dare you team up to deceive me!"

He used 50% of his strength in his hand and threw it out. Shen Lianxing took several steps back. He rushed up with anger and couldn't help yelling at him, "How dare you hit your own aunt?!"

Ye Yuanyin thought, the relationship in this family is so complicated. They fight openly and secretly in the name of "not being a family", but lash out and attack each other as "family".

"I was wrong. I apologize." Shen Yan'an had no intention of nagging, so she gently advised, "Grandma is ill, and you're her only daughter. She's not very mobile now, so please take the trouble to look after her. That would be a great gesture from us."

Shen Lianxing snorted. Seeing that this plan was hopeless, he glared at Ye Yuanyin fiercely, turned his head and said contemptuously: "Do you need to tell me that? Of course I will take good care of her."

Taking advantage of the steps given by Chen Dian'an, Shen Lianxing still walked away as if he was worth 2.58 million.

The remaining two people stood backstage at the press conference, and Zhang Chang's enthusiastic voice came over one after another along with the PPT screens.

Perhaps it was because of extreme tension and then a sudden sense of relaxation. Against the chaotic background, Chen Yan looked at somewhere in the void, and felt his brain was empty, as if he saw nothing, and as if his body and soul had been separated.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Ye Yuanyin asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Sediment stood there in a daze, raised his eyes, saw her flexible face and a pair of talking eyes, suddenly strode over and hugged her tightly in his arms.

He seemed to have only just come to his senses, his voice thick with reproach, "You and Zhang Chang had already colluded, why didn't you tell me first? If anything dangerous happens, who can bear the consequences? You're so bold!"

Ye Yuanyin thought, the two of them were having a quarrel at the time, and he was so determined to keep her at a distance, so how could she bring herself to speak to him? Now that things had changed, she was more open to admitting her mistakes. "I was afraid you'd worry. Actually, Zhang Chang and I had come up with several plans. Initially, we had planned to do a live broadcast before the second project launch to explain everything to everyone."

"No matter how thorough the plan is, there will always be loopholes." He was still angry.

The biggest mistake was that Ye Yuan was so angry about the gossip between him and Zou Meng that he lost his guard and opened the door of his own house, which made his subsequent steps extremely difficult.

She reached out and climbed onto his broad back, her eyes gleaming with admiration as she looked up at him. "Yeah, how did you even predict this? You're so smart."

"Come on," said Chen Yan angrily, "Stop trying to fool me."

Ye Yuanyin softened his tone and threatened him as if it was a matter of course, "My hand still hurts, can't you just talk to me properly?"

As if a sore spot had been touched, he sighed and said nothing more.

Ye Yuanyin leaned her head on his shoulder and asked, "When did you realize that I might not be as passive as you thought?"

"I started to get suspicious when I saw the hairpin you left behind."

She raised her face slightly with an irrepressible smile, like a puppy wagging its tail to please others. "Wow, you are really amazing."

The acting is so poor, yet lovable.

Sediment gently scratched the smooth skin on her face with his thumb and index finger, and suddenly smiled, "It would be great if you could be this good all the time."

The man's smile was a bit casual and suave. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Especially when..."

Ye Yuanyin only heard two words and quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, her face flushed, "Stop talking."

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, lowered the corners of his mouth, and looked unruly. "What did I say?"

She immediately raised her head again, her innocent eyes tinged with a beautiful pink. "You're asking me? I forgot too."

Sediment touched her chin with his index finger, then quickly removed his hand and asked with a smile, "Do you want to—"

Ye Yuanyin didn't even finish listening to the words and quickly replied: "No - um..."

He leaned over and covered her mouth.

At the beginning of the last psychology course, Ye Yuanyin went to see Zhou You. At that time, You Jing was about to get engaged.

Zhou You asked her, "Have you been taking medicine recently?"

"I'm still taking it," Ye Yuanyin said, "The doctor said I can stop after this period."

"That's good."

Zhou You turned the topic back to You Jing, "He's getting engaged, should we give him a gift?"

Ye Yuanyin didn't want to give a physical gift; just leaving it there would always be a chance for her to think about something or extend its meaning. She didn't want to have any further contact with him, and she didn't want to upset his future wife, so she said halfheartedly, "A red envelope will be enough."

Zhou You seemed to be able to see through her, but was also glad that he did not expose her.

"Huang Hua said that Zhao Tongming wants to help him design the venue for the banquet. Let's go and help. We are friends after all."

She wanted to refuse again, but Zhou You advised, "Ayin, don't go too far. If a man and a woman can't be lovers, no matter how they feel in their hearts, they will inevitably grow apart as time goes by. In that case, why not cherish the present? You Jing is not your enemy."

Having said this, Ye Yuanyin could no longer refuse.

While Chen Dian was as busy as ever, the Kingzone Dragons' press conference unexpectedly garnered widespread public favor thanks to Ye Yuanyin's candidness, garnering significant attention for the project. Regardless of his true personality, to outsiders, he presented himself as a positive figure—responsible, sentimental, from a prominent family, deeply devoted to his ex-wife, and most importantly, incredibly handsome, captivating the hearts of women of all ages.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Ye Yuanyin waited in the corridor for him who had just returned from a social event.

She wanted to be more honest with him, so she told him the truth, "I have to go out tomorrow."

Sediment had been drinking a bit, and his gaze wasn't quite focused. In her eyes, he seemed to be playing hard to get, a kind of blurry, dazed, playful play. He untied his tie and casually draped it over his suit jacket, which hung from his arm. His back rested almost entirely on the wall. He glanced at her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"You Jing is getting engaged, and Huang Hua asked me to help set up the venue."

He nodded slowly, his tone calm, "If you want to go, go ahead. Why are you asking me?"

"Oh," she nodded and said, "I see."

It was already 11 o'clock that evening when Maha contacted her again and said that there was something going on at the company and asked her not to take leave yet.

Ye Yuanyin's anger stagnated. "Didn't you agree when I asked you for leave this afternoon? How come you changed your mind even faster than you changed your face? What important work is that? Will the company stop functioning without me? Don't you realize I'm so important?!"

Maha was wrong first, and apologized by saying that the healing app will be released soon. Some details do need to be communicated.

Ye Yuanyin said, "Okay, let's communicate, right? Then no one should sleep tonight, we can communicate online now."

Seeing her insistence, Zhang Chang immediately changed his tune and said, "Oh, my dear, I'm really scared of you. What do you mean by 'communication'? I'm overstepping my authority. Can I report back to you when you're done?"

Ye Yuanyin hung up the phone. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He opened the door and went to find Chen Di'an.

The door was not locked, so she knocked a few times and went in.

When I entered the room, there was no one there, which was strange.

He had rushed in in a fit of rage, but now, sensing the quietness of the room, he calmed down. Ye Yuanyin felt that this person was difficult to deal with, so he turned to leave. Just then, Chen Dian walked in from the doorway, holding a bottle of soda.

Seeing that she still had anger on her face, he asked curiously, "What do you want from me?"

Even if you lose, you can't lose your dignity. Ye Yuanyin questioned, "How dare you ask me this? Why did you call Zhang Chang just now?! If you don't want me to go, just tell me directly! Why are you so sneaky? Do you have to do such tricks behind my back? Is it fun?"

She bombarded him with a barrage of high-density output, and his already alcohol-addled brain became even more confused. "What did I do?"

"You're still asking me? Don't you know what you did?"

Chen Yan looked at her sincerely and said, "I really don't know."

"Give me your phone."

He really handed it over.

"password?"

"252525."

What the hell is this number? She opened the call log and found that he really hadn't called Zhang Chang tonight. Then she thought to herself, how could she be so stupid? How could someone like him lower his status?

Ye Yuanyin calmed down and returned the phone with a normal expression, "It's okay, you should go to bed early."

Suddenly, Chen Di'an understood, grabbed the arm and pulled the deserter back. He looked at her and kept smiling, "You're fine, I'm busy. What kind of place is this? You can come and go as you please."

She asked guiltily, "Then what do you say we should do?"

Yan Dian held her shoulders, and the heat from his palms passed through. Ye Yuanyin seemed to be scalded and involuntarily took a few steps back.

But he refused to let her go, staring at her like a big net, his eyes burning with fire, and all that was left was her thin skin and tightly pursed lips swaying in front of him.

Ye Yuan had nowhere to retreat, and his calves were already against the edge of the bed.

Sediment lowered his head, his mouth almost touching hers. He suddenly sneered, "You've never seen someone deliver themselves to someone else's door. How stupid."

"Stop talking." She raised her hands to cover her eyes.

The next second, it felt like a weight dropped on her feet, and a force pulled her onto the bed.

Her body sank into the soft quilt, but she still covered her eyes with her hands. Sediment An asked her, "Do you want some water?"

Ye Yuanyin felt as if her spirit was about to break. Even her voice was trembling and her heart was pounding. She just wanted to get away as soon as possible. "I want you to get up."

"Then open your eyes first," Chendi coaxed her patiently, "Yinyin, look at me."

Her hand was slowly removed, and the light seemed to hide a dazzling new world.

The person in front of her has the figure of a green bamboo, the face of a flower and the moon, eyes like floating clouds, and a smile like the surging brocade water. He is the person who makes her heart ache just thinking about him.

My heart is filled with sorrow and my passion is burning in my heart.

This was as unbearable as being fried in oil, and she actually felt thirsty. "I want to drink some water."

"Want some soda?"

She murmured again, her voice small and pleading, "Anything is fine."

He leaned over to kiss her, "Then try it."

The man's stiff hair seemed to be pressed into his brows. Ye Yuanyin could not bear it any longer, so he opened his mouth and bit his lips.
