She looked at Jiang Che's expression and tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"
Speaking of Jiang Ze, Jiang Che had a lot to say. He thought Jiang Ze would calm down after he went back, but it seems like he's been bewitched lately. He follows Jiang Che around every day. Before, Jiang Che wanted to stay as far away from him as possible, but now he seizes every opportunity to stick to him. It's really giving him a headache.
He looked at Ye Zhao and sighed, "It's nothing. He's been acting like he's possessed these past two days, following me everywhere I go."
It wasn't about her boyfriend, so Ye Zhao breathed a sigh of relief for Jiang Ze and smiled, saying, "Really? No wonder he hasn't been messaging me much lately. Why didn't he come with you today?"
"I asked him to do something for me, he should be here tomorrow."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "That's good. He didn't even stay for two days when he came here last time before you took him away."
Speaking of this, Jiang Che shifted his gaze somewhat uncomfortably. Actually, he didn't necessarily have to take Jiang Ze away last time. It was just that after learning that she was Ye Zhao, he couldn't quite process his emotions. In addition, Jiang Ze had been quite infuriating at that time, so he simply took her away.
“We might have to stay here for a few more days this time, and he will definitely come looking for you,” Jiang Che replied.
Jiang Ze's personality was really not easy to get along with; he was prickly, petty, and vengeful. But for some reason, he could get along so well with Ye Zhao, which was something Jiang Che hadn't expected.
Ye Zhao smiled and poured him a cup of tea, saying, "That would be perfect."
"I heard you opened a new place, is it also a guesthouse?"
"No, it's a dessert and beverage shop..."
The two chatted idly as time slowly passed. When they saw that it was almost time, Jiang Che got up to say goodbye. Ye Zhao invited them to have dinner together, but Jiang Che declined, citing work as the reason. Only Mu Xu knew that President Jiang had turned down all his other commitments today, so there was no work to be had.
To be honest, if he had encountered something like that, he would have broken down long ago. How could he have sat down and chatted with Ye Zhao for so long?
As he was leaving, Mu Xu turned to look at Yuanbao squatting on the ground one last time, still quite surprised. He had found it strange when Fei Ming mentioned that President Jiang and Ye Zhao had met before and that she and President Jiang were friends. How could it be such a coincidence? He never expected that she was the one who broke off her engagement with President Shen four years ago. What surprised him even more was that Ye Zhao and Shen Du actually had a child. How long would it take President Jiang to process this?
He looked at Jiang Che's tall figure, sighed softly, and then silently followed behind Jiang Che without saying a word.
After seeing the two off, Ye Zhao sighed and turned to walk back. Yang Juan glanced behind her and asked curiously, "Mr. Jiang and Yuanbao's father know each other? What is their relationship?"
Ye Zhao frowned, looking troubled, and said, "They're all friends from the same circle..."
Seeing her troubled expression, Yang Juan asked with concern, "What's wrong, Sister Zhao? Is something on your mind?"
Ye Zhao glanced at Yuanbao, who was squatting on the ground playing happily, and said slowly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little worried."
When Yang Juan asked again, Ye Zhao didn't answer. It wasn't that she was worried Jiang Che would tell anyone, but she felt that the more people knew, the greater the risk of it being exposed, and she was still uneasy.
...
Time flies, and it's already the beginning of the month.
Ye Zhao got up early in the morning and packed some luggage for Yuanbao, preparing to send him to B City.
After packing his luggage, Yuanbao was still fast asleep in bed. Ye Zhao was worried that he would miss the plane, so she pulled him out of bed.
The little one smelled so sweet and milky, Ye Zhao loved it dearly. She kissed Yuanbao on the cheek and said gently, "Baby, we should get up! We'll miss our flight if we're any later!"
Yuanbao opened his eyes groggily, stretched, and grumbled, "Mommy, I want to sleep more..."
The little voice was so soft and sweet that Ye Zhao's heart melted. She gently stroked his back and said, "Shall we sleep on the plane?"
Yuanbao, still half asleep, reached out and put his arms around her shoulders. Ye Zhao carried him to the bathroom to wash up.
More than ten minutes later, the two finally got ready. Yuanbao was fully awake, carrying his little bag, pouting, and looking at Ye Zhao with a pitiful expression, he said, "If I go to see Daddy, will Mommy miss me?"
Ye Zhao answered without hesitation: "Of course!"
Even after receiving this answer, Yuanbao still pouted: "I don't want to be separated from Mommy."
Looking into his watery eyes, Ye Zhao felt her heart melt. She quickly hugged the child and comforted him. By the time they reached the airport, they had almost missed their flight.
Ye Zhao was very busy and didn't want to meet with Shen Du, so after sending the child to the Yan family, she went straight back to Shangyang.
When she returned, Jiang Ze was already fast asleep, sprawled out on the rocking chair in the courtyard.
Yang Juan was surprised to see her come in and said, "You're back so soon?"
Ye Zhao nodded: "Yes, I still have things to do at the new store, so I'll head over there first. I'll tell Aze when he wakes up that I'm going there."
"Okay!"
She only heard from Yang Juan that Jiang Ze had been waiting for her all afternoon, so she rushed over directly. But he was resting now, so she went to Siji to get busy first.
At the same time, Shen Du also went to the Yan family to pick up the child.
Yuanbao was dressed entirely in denim today, wearing a denim jacket and jeans, and still carrying a SpongeBob SquarePants backpack. He looked cool yet adorable, and looked very small as he was held in Chendu's arms.
He looked at Chen Du, tilted his head, and asked with a bewildered expression, "Dad, will you come to pick me up from my great-uncle's house every time?"
The way he called out "Dad" sounded a little awkward, but his face remained expressionless; only his arms, which were holding Yuanbao, were somewhat tense.
He glanced at Yuanbao's face, which was inches away from his own, and replied in a relatively gentle tone, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Yuanbao frowned slightly, his innocent eyes wide with confusion, and asked, "Then why didn't you come to my house to pick me up? That way, Mom wouldn't have had to bring me here."
Chen Du paused for two seconds before replying, "Because it's not very convenient."
He didn't expect that Yuanbao, such a young child, would ask such a question. Of course, he didn't go to Jiashui to pick him up because of Ye Zhao's request, but there was no need to explain it so clearly to the child.
Yuanbao asked again, "What does 'not very convenient' mean?"
Chen Du glanced at Yuan Bao and thought he was like a walking encyclopedia of questions.
You'll understand when you grow up.
"Can't I understand now?"
You can't understand now.
"I understand, I am the smartest kid on Guihua Road."
"Only adults can understand."
Upon hearing this, Yuanbao seemed to be thinking for a moment before slowly saying, "Dad, do you not want to answer me?"
