Inside the private room of the Blue Ocean Club, the discussion grew louder and louder, with everyone looking on incredulously.
"What?! How could Che-ge's girlfriend be Ye Zhao?! Oh my god!"
"Wow, Ye Zhao is really something. Not only did she have a child with Brother Du, but she's also dating Brother Che..."
"No, no, there's too much news. I need to process it first..."
"My goodness, there's so much melon to eat!"
"What exactly are Ye Zhao's abilities? They are two of the most famous young talents in our A City's high society. So many people are eager to marry them, yet both of them are with Ye Zhao..."
Compared to their level of surprise, Xie Ming was obviously much calmer, though he was still shocked that Shen Du and Ye Zhao had a child.
He Jie had somehow gotten close to him and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Brother Ming, you're so calm. Did you already know something beforehand?"
He Jie knew about Xie Ming and Lin Yu's blind date. He vaguely remembered that Lin Yu and Ye Zhao had a good relationship. Seeing Xie Ming's calm demeanor, he assumed that Xie Ming knew about these things beforehand.
Xie Ming smiled and said, "How would I know? Your brother Du is very capable. He managed to keep such a big kid from me without letting out a single word..."
He Jie could sense Xie Ming's slight displeasure, but he didn't know the source of it. He could only guess that Chen Du's keeping these things from him made him unhappy, so he comforted him, "Hey, Ming-ge, you know how Du-ge is. We're all used to it. That's just his personality. He doesn't like to tell us guys anything..."
Xie Ming frowned slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly brought this up.
He was indeed a little unhappy, but not because of Shen Du, but because he had just asked Lin Yu about this matter. She clearly knew but didn't tell him the truth. Was it that he wasn't trustworthy, or that she never considered him a friend? In short, Xie Ming was a little unhappy.
He Jie didn't understand Xie Ming's expression, but still tried to comfort him for a while.
Unlike the lively scene of gossip on their side, Shen Jiayi and her group on the other side, after watching the live stream and reading Jiang Che's post, were all puzzled. Then, as if wearing a vicious mask, they pointed at Ye Zhao and hurled all sorts of insults. Shen Jiayi's face was very ugly, and she felt even more annoyed listening to the chattering around her.
"Jiayi, don't be sad. Jiang is just playing around with Ye Zhao. She's already had a child. Do you think Jiang would marry her?"
"That's right, Mr. Jiang just misjudged the situation; they'll break up after a while..."
Everyone tried to coax her, but Shen Jiayi's expression grew increasingly grim. She finally said in a low voice, "Alright!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the private room fell silent. Shen Jiayi, her face ashen, picked up her bag from the sofa and left without looking back.
Only after she disappeared through the door and the door to the private room was closed again did someone mutter under their breath, "What's so smug about her? She's just relying on the Shen family backing her up."
Someone whispered in agreement: "That's right, she doesn't even know what she looks like. President Jiang wouldn't even bother with her for a fling."
Hearing this, Wang Qi frowned and said, "Hey, what nonsense are you spouting? If you're so capable, say it in front of people."
The group of people lowered their heads and dispersed. Wang Qi merely glared in that direction, said nothing, and then got up and left as well.
Shu Yang, Kong Yingying, and the others were not in much better condition either. They all seemed numb, unable to process the news for a long time.
Meanwhile, in Shangyang's Green Courtyard, a lively scene was unfolding.
Knowing that Jiang Che was coming, Xiao Lin prepared an extremely lavish dinner, making it seem like a holiday.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Ye Zhao smiled and said to Jiang Che and Mu Xu, "Try them, Xiao Lin made them especially for you two."
Cheng Yu glanced at Yuan Bao and added quietly, "That's right, you don't get this kind of treatment when you come over from Shendu."
Jiang Che smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and said to Xiao Lin, "Thank you for your trouble. It must have taken a lot of time."
Xiao Lin scratched his head and replied with a smile, "It's no trouble at all, Mr. Jiang, please try it and see how it tastes."
Aunt Zhang smiled and pushed several hearty dishes towards the two of them, saying, "President Jiang hasn't been here for quite some time, please eat more..."
Jiang Che smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang. You've worked so hard these past few days. You've even lost weight..."
Aunt Zhang smiled and touched her face, saying, "Really? It seems my dieting has been very effective..."
When the topic came up, Ye Zhao quickly changed the subject: "Let's all go for a walk after dinner, the weather is nice today."
Cheng Yu watched as the group of people chatted casually and naturally, with no one feeling uncomfortable. The atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful. She smiled and gave Ye Zhao a thumbs up, leaving Ye Zhao completely bewildered.
She just felt that Ye Zhao had found a really good partner. He was responsible, down-to-earth, and broad-minded, which was much better than the previous one, and he deserved praise.
The group enjoyed a lively meal and then busily cleaned up the kitchen before leisurely heading out for a stroll.
At first, Xiao Yuanbao was walking between Ye Zhao and Jiang Che, but as he walked, he was suddenly drawn away by Xiao Lin and Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu even gave Ye Zhao a secret look.
Jiang Che smiled and put his arm around Ye Zhao's waist. The next second, seeing that no one was paying attention, he took her to another alley. Ye Zhao had an expression that said, "Just as I expected." She looked up at Jiang Che and met his teasing gaze. Jiang Che smiled and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her, Jiang Che closed his eyes with great satisfaction, and Ye Zhao reached out and hugged his strong waist.
The two embraced for a while. Ye Zhao felt Jiang Che's hand touch her lower back several times. She awkwardly pulled away and asked softly, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Che smiled and asked softly, "Have you lost weight?"
Ye Zhao had indeed lost a little weight during this period, so she smiled and nodded: "Yes, how is it? Isn't your waist thinner?"
Jiang Che reached out and gently tapped her nose with his finger, saying in a low voice, "You're already thin enough, you don't need to lose weight, health is the most important thing."
The alley was quiet and empty, with only a few houses casting dim yellow light from their doors. The two embraced and whispered to each other, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
Jiang Che used the dim light to examine the person in his arms, his gaze lingering on her face. Ye Zhao looked away uncomfortably and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Che reached out and cupped her face in his hands, whispering, "Look at you, I haven't seen you for so many days."
As soon as she finished speaking, her lips covered his.
Warm, soft lips covered mine, their breaths mingling as they whispered their longing for each other over the past few days.
