The two maintained a distance of neither too close nor too far as they walked slowly toward the green field.
Ye Zhao occasionally bumped into an acquaintance on the way, stopping to chat for a few words. Chen Du would also silently stop and wait for her.
Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Ye Zhao felt extremely uncomfortable. She finally arrived at the Green Field and breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, Chen Du was wondering if she had taken a shortcut, since it had taken him quite a while to get there.
When they returned, everyone was having breakfast. Yuanbao had just woken up and was sitting on a small stool with sleepy eyes and a few strands of hair sticking up on his head.
Ye Zhao's heart softened when she saw him. She carried him to wash up and change his clothes, and little Yuanbao was full of energy and jumping around again.
Shen Du didn't stay any longer today; he left after Yang Xu and Yuan Bao finished breakfast.
After seeing the group off, Ye Zhao sighed softly, while Cheng Yu looked gloating.
With Xiao Yuanbao away, Green Field became much quieter. With some free time, the group spent their days busy preparing delicious food. Ye Zhao felt that her waist had gotten thicker during this period.
Just then, Jiang Che said he would come to see her in a few days. Ye Zhao was overjoyed. After hanging up the phone, she started exercising, afraid that Jiang Che would notice that she had gained weight.
Cheng Yu just chuckled at this, completely failing to understand Ye Zhao's feelings.
With Yuanbao away, Ye Zhao had a lot more free time. She was busy exercising and running her small shop every day, and time flew by. Before she knew it, it was time for Jiang Che to come.
It just so happened that Yuanbao had been staying in Chendu for several days, so Ye Zhao asked Jiang Che to pick up the child on the way back. Unexpectedly, an accident happened.
Ye Zhao had just returned from the gym and was about to have dinner when she suddenly heard Cheng Yu's earth-shattering cry: "Zhao Zhao! Something's happened!"
Ye Zhao was startled to see Cheng Yu in such a flustered state. She quickly came out of the kitchen and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Cheng Yu rushed over to her with her phone in hand, looking anxious, and said, "Yuanbao was photographed by the gossip media..."
Ye Zhao took the phone, feeling flustered and confused, but also as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. She thought that this day had finally come.
The photo was taken from an extremely hidden corner, so it's not very clear. The child in the photo is wrapped up very tightly, and only the weight on the side is clearly visible in the photo.
The caption reads, "A wealthy CEO has a four-year-old illegitimate child?"
The moment Ye Zhao saw the words "illegitimate child," her heart skipped a beat.
The next second, the phone in my pocket rang.
"Hey? Zhao Zhao, did you see the news online? Don't worry, the Jiang and Shen families have already taken down the news. I've received Yuan Bao and I'm on my way."
Jiang Che's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, soothing Ye Zhao's anxious emotions. She frowned and said, "Okay, be careful on your way, and don't get photographed."
"Yes, I know. Don't worry, just stay home and wait for us. Don't fret."
"I'm not worried."
Ye Zhao wasn't worried; she was just annoyed. If this kind of thing were exposed, trouble would come knocking, and Ye Zhao didn't like that feeling.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhao lost her appetite and started browsing various news online on her phone.
"Wow, I knew a handsome and rich guy like Mr. Shen couldn't possibly be single. His child is already so big. But who is the child's mother?"
"Holy crap, what earth-shattering gossip is this? Who's the mother of the child?"
"Wow, this is amazing!"
"I'm more curious about who the child's mother is?"
"Four years ago, President Shen hadn't broken off his engagement with Ye Zhao yet, right? Whose child is this? No wonder they broke off the engagement later."
"Is it possible that this child is Ye Zhao's?"
"That's impossible. They already have a child, so why bother announcing the engagement?"
Ye Zhao frowned as she browsed the various comments. Seeing her pale face, Cheng Yu hesitated and said, "Let's not look anymore. Anyway, the Jiang and Shen families are already dealing with it."
Ye Zhao didn't speak, and continued browsing various information. Two titles caught her attention.
Who exactly is the mother of the illegitimate child of a wealthy CEO?
"Mother of a wealthy CEO's illegitimate child exposed!"
Ye Zhao clicked on the first one, but there was no news at all, just some unfounded speculations.
Clicking on the second item reveals a trending topic on a certain app, attracting a large audience and sparking the most heated discussion.
Ye Zhao hurriedly checked the video, and suddenly froze after seeing something.
Seeing her expression, Cheng Yu also came closer. After looking for a few seconds, she suddenly burst into a thunderous laugh.
"Haha ...
Ye Zhao recognized the person in the video and was speechless.
"Mother of a wealthy CEO's illegitimate child exposed!"
Only a short, fairly clear video clip was provided, showing Jiang Che and Shen Du standing facing each other, with Xiao Yuanbao running from Shen Du's side towards Jiang Che.
The video wasn't very clear, but you could clearly see that the people in it were Jiang Che and Shen Du. The comments below were even more lively.
"Holy crap, so whose child is this?"
"It couldn't be... these two, could it?"
"Perhaps...is it possible...that they hired someone to do it?"
"Holy crap! What kind of earth-shattering gossip is this? No way!"
"You know what, it's actually possible. Aren't both of these CEOs eligible bachelors? Is it possible they're mutually..."
"Wow, you know what, it's actually possible! I heard the Shen family and the Jiang family have a very good relationship!"
"They were childhood sweethearts! Oh no, childhood friends!"
"Wow, this is great! I knew that novel plots couldn't all be based on the author's imagination. It turns out that such things really exist!"
"These two CEOs dominate half of City A, ladies! Let's all ship them! They're a perfect match in terms of looks and family background!"
"This is so sweet! Childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and equally matched lovers. We've been too narrow-minded!"
As Ye Zhao read on, she became more and more impressed by the amazing imaginations of this generation of netizens. Cheng Yu was already laughing so hard she was doubled over. What was originally a serious matter had turned into this, and Ye Zhao suddenly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
However, the online buzz only lasted a short while before the trending topics were taken down. But various topics continued to ferment, and the Jiang and Shen groups were even more lively. Everyone was gossiping about their presidents, and seeing those unfounded speculations, a group of people got even more excited.
"I always said that President Jiang and President Shen have a somewhat ambiguous relationship. Last time, during a meeting, the two of them ran away together."
"Wow, no wonder they're both still single."
"This is amazing! What an evenly matched love story!"
"OMG, I think the two most handsome guys are dating!"
