Under the bright sunshine and gentle breeze, the handsome man and beautiful woman changed their positions from before, with Jiang Che pushing Ye Zhao through the woods.
"Why didn't you bring Yuanbao with you?" Jiang Che asked slowly.
Ye Zhao smiled and replied, "There are a lot of mosquitoes here, and Yuanbao's skin is a bit sensitive."
Jiang Che nodded, glanced at the sky, and said, "How about we go to the osmanthus grove for a drink?"
Ye Zhao joked, "Isn't it inappropriate to drink at this time?"
Jiang Che smiled, his eyes crinkling slightly: "Your foot is injured, and you still want to drink?"
Ye Zhao replied, "Isn't this to keep President Jiang company? It's only right that we have a drink."
Jiang Che said slowly, "If you're keeping me company, some tea will do."
The two strolled through the woods, chatting and laughing; the handsome man and beautiful woman were quite eye-catching.
Jiang Ze stood with Mu Xu in a secluded corner, watching the two walk away, and said with a smile, "How about it? A good match, right?"
Mu Xu nodded hastily and said, "They're a perfect match!"
Jiang Ze added, "Tell your subordinates to be careful and not to say anything they shouldn't. If I hear any rumors coming from headquarters, I'll make them pay."
Mu Xu hurriedly replied, "Don't worry about that. President Jiang already instructed us yesterday that everyone is keeping their mouths shut."
Jiang Ze slowly said, "That's good..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something, her eyes widening as she asked, "You mean my brother told you that?"
Mu Xu smiled meaningfully: "President Jiang is quite thoughtful."
Jiang Ze turned to watch the two figures walk away, and said quietly, "He was still pretending in front of me..."
Mu Xu said slowly, "President Jiang knows what he's doing, so there's no need for you to worry."
"Me, in a hurry? Why should I be in a hurry? It's not like I'm looking for a wife..."
"It's not that you're looking for a wife, it's that you're looking for a sister-in-law! The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ze turned to look at him with a smile: "Do you think I can't understand good and bad words?"
Mu Xu looked up at the sky guiltily, pretending not to have heard what he said, and simply said, "The weather is quite nice today..."
The next second, Mu Xu's pig-like screams could be heard from the woods.
Hearing the sound, Ye Zhao looked back and muttered, "What was that sound?"
Jiang Che replied nonchalantly, "Aze and Mu Xu are just playing around, it's nothing."
Ye Zhao asked in surprise, "You could hear it from so far away?"
Jiang Che replied without changing his expression, "You get used to it after hearing it so often."
Ye Zhao smiled and asked, "Isn't it lively with Aze around?"
Jiang Che's expression was somewhat complicated. After considering his words carefully, he slowly said, "It's lively, but it's a bit too noisy."
Seeing Ye Zhao's smile grow even brighter, Jiang Che continued, "I don't know how he can be so energetic, he's a bit too boisterous..."
Especially recently, I don't know what possessed him, he was jumping around and making a fuss about finding him a girlfriend, dragging him to all sorts of parties full of beautiful women, as if he couldn't wait to sell him off. He's calmed down a bit recently, probably because he came to Jiashui and someone is playing with him, which has distracted him.
Ye Zhao replied with a smile, "He has a lively personality and is a bit mischievous, but that's good."
She also envied the Jiang brothers. Although they always caused each other trouble, they also valued each other very much. This kind of love-hate relationship was something she had never experienced.
The two chatted as they arrived at the Osmanthus Grove. There were almost no tourists these past two days, but the staff were still working because Jiang's guests were staying in the Maple Grove, and they would occasionally come here for a walk during their breaks.
Jiang Che went inside to get the order form, came out and ordered two cups of tea. He then sat down next to Ye Zhao, looking at the scenery in the mountains and forests, and asked, "Why did you suddenly leave City A back then?"
Too much time had passed. Jiang Che only remembered that he had canceled his engagement with Ye Zhao and Shen Du. After that, he never heard from her again in City A, so he had almost forgotten about Ye Zhao and didn't recognize her when they met again.
Ye Zhao was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and then replied, "I don't really like City A, so I came here."
Jiang Che turned to look at her and said, "You are very different from the person I remember."
Ye Zhao asked seriously, "What's different?"
Jiang Che met her clear and earnest gaze, then suddenly smiled and said, "In my impression, you have a bad reputation. They all say you are difficult to get along with, have extreme ideas, and are obsessed to an incurable degree."
Ye Zhao laughed out loud, her clear eyes now shining with an unknown light, looking exceptionally dazzling.
She looked at Jiang Che and said slowly, "I'm afraid that's not what they said, is it?"
Under Jiang Che's questioning gaze, she said, "They should be calling me arrogant, domineering, and shameless. You're being too mild."
Jiang Che looked at her smiling face and asked softly, "Aren't you angry?"
Ye Zhao retorted, "Why should I be angry? Just because they insult me doesn't mean I'm right."
When she first arrived in this world, she was met with all sorts of malicious words. Perhaps the original owner of this body had been too obsessed with Shendu and offended some of them, or perhaps they simply disliked Ye Zhao and that's why they insulted her like that. If Ye Zhao had spoken to them in person, she could have retorted, but she couldn't control what they said in private. Besides, she didn't want to be friends with them, so it didn't matter, as long as they didn't insult her in person.
Jiang Che met her clear eyes and was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly said, "Rumors are not credible."
Ye Zhao asked with a smile, "So what kind of person do you think I am?"
Jiang Che's gaze fell on her face again, scrutinizing her closely. Under his intense gaze, Ye Zhao actually looked away slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Che looked him over for a while and slowly said, "He's someone who loves life."
Ye Zhao laughed at her question and asked, "What? Don't you love life?"
Jiang Che gave a helpless twitch of his lips and said, "Too busy, no time."
Ye Zhao clicked his tongue in admiration and said, "You people are so busy working all day long, how can you not earn enough money?"
Jiang Che suddenly looked at her and asked, "We? Who are we?"
Ye Zhao met his sharp gaze and suddenly became speechless: "You...you big bosses!"
Jiang Che looked at her quietly for two seconds before saying, "Work is too busy, and... when I'm free, I don't find anything fun to do, so I might as well keep working."
Ye Zhao smiled helplessly: "This is the first time I've heard someone say that having free time isn't fun. No wonder you can run such a large group!"
Jiang Che said sincerely, "It's just an inheritance from my ancestors."
Ye Zhao's lips twitched: "That's all? You'd get beaten up if you said that outside."
