Ye Zhao knew that children have limited understanding of certain things, so she nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Che will take good care of Mom and Yuanbao..."
Xiao Yuanbao nodded seriously upon hearing this: "Okay then, I like Uncle A-Che too."
Ye Zhao knew that this meant he had agreed, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, baby!"
Little Yuanbao looked at her with bright eyes and said, "As long as Mom is happy!"
Ye Zhao was so fond of her son that she talked for a while before they came downstairs hand in hand.
Meanwhile, Jiang Che was busy having a meeting with the public relations department. Because yesterday's events had also had some impact, they needed to do their best to ensure that the group's interests were not harmed.
Knowing that Jiang Che was busy, Ye Zhao didn't bother him. She went to the kitchen to discuss lunch with Xiao Lin, and then took Cheng Yu out.
"What are you doing? I didn't get enough rest yesterday, can't you let me sleep a little longer?" Cheng Yu said reluctantly as Ye Zhao pulled him away.
Ye Zhao held her hand tightly and said with a smile, "Oh, come on, come with me to the cake shop, it's so much fun."
Cheng Yu rolled her eyes at her and said, "What? Is it your lover's birthday?"
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "No, I just wanted to make a cake to try."
Cheng Yu pouted in disgust, but didn't resist anymore, letting Ye Zhao pull her towards the cake shop.
In fact, she had noticed Ye Zhao's changes over this period of time. She was much more cheerful and lively than before, and she loved to joke around. Sometimes she was even a little coquettish. She was much more vivid than before.
Before falling in love, Ye Zhao was more quiet and composed, calm and collected in the face of adversity, and a bit too indifferent. Now, she is much more vibrant.
Although Cheng Yu complained about the trouble, she became interested once she arrived at the cake shop and chatted with the pastry chef with great enthusiasm, her hands never stopping.
Ye Zhao, on the other hand, was focused on making the cake, proceeding step by step in an orderly manner, clearly showing her experience.
Cheng Yu looked at it and suddenly asked, "Your skills are pretty good. You must have practiced for a long time, right?"
Ye Zhao smiled and said with considerable pride, "I've been practicing for a long time. You'll have to try my cooking later."
Cheng Yu put down the cream in her hand and looked at her with a forced smile, asking, "Oh! With such good skills, why didn't you think of making some for me and Xiaoyu to try before? You couldn't wait to drag me to the cake shop as soon as your lover arrived, you're something else, Ye Zhao..."
Hearing Cheng Yu's sour tone, Ye Zhao felt extremely guilty and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "That's because Xiao Yu was busy, so she only stayed for a few days before going back."
Cheng Yu retorted, unconvinced, "Then I've been here for so long and you haven't done anything for me?"
Ye Zhao chuckled and replied, "Isn't that what we're doing?"
Cheng Yu: "...In the end, it was all for naught."
Ye Zhao's mind raced, and upon hearing this, she hurriedly said, "Then why didn't you mention the egg yolk pastry and the sweet and sour pork?"
Cheng Yu was speechless for a moment, then quickly said, "How can it be like a cake? Anyway, I've never eaten a cake you made..."
Ye Zhao replied, "Just eat whatever I make. Why be picky?"
Cheng Yu glared at her, then suddenly spat at her.
Ye Zhao spat at her back, not to be outdone. Just as she was about to say something, the pastry chef outside returned. The two exchanged a glance and silently shut their mouths, though they glared at each other.
Ye Zhao was working slowly and methodically, and the shape of a cake gradually took shape, while Cheng Yu's side was a mess, with the cake smeared all over and looking dirty.
Ye Zhao frosted, piped, and decorated the cake, and soon a delicate purple cake appeared on the table. She packed it in a box and set it aside, then turned and handed the booklet in her hand to Cheng Yu: "Take a look, what flavor do you want? I'll make it for you."
Cheng Yu took the booklet with a haughty expression and said, "That's more like it."
The two of them worked in the cake shop all morning. When Jiang Che came down after his meeting, only Xiao Lin and Yang Juan were playing with Yuanbao in the yard. He walked over with a smile and asked, "What are you playing? Where's Zhao Zhao?"
Yuanbao saw him, grabbed the ball, and ran over: "Uncle A-Che..."
Seeing this, Jiang Che stretched out his hand and caught Yuanbao who ran over. He didn't mind the dust and sweat on Yuanbao's body at all, and just asked, "What are you playing?"
Xiaolin and Yang Juan exchanged a glance and walked over, replying, "Sister Zhaozhao took Sister Chengyu out and they haven't come back yet. Are you done with your work?"
Jiang Che smiled and nodded: "I'm done with work."
Before he could finish speaking, Yuanbao in his arms asked, "Uncle Ache, do you have money?"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Why would you ask that?"
Xiao Lin sighed and rubbed his forehead, exchanged a glance with Yang Juan, and walked away in tacit agreement.
Little Yuanbao glanced at the two of them as they walked away, then leaned close to Jiang Che's ear and asked, "Is it true that my mom said she's dating you?"
Jiang Che smiled and nodded, naturally wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Yeah, what do you think, Yuanbao?"
Little Yuanbao asked with a puzzled look, "Uncle Lin said that getting married requires money, Uncle Che, do you have any money?"
Jiang Che: "..." He thought he was quite wealthy, though not as wealthy as the Shen family, but not far off either.
He pondered for a moment, then looked down at Yuanbao and asked, "Yuanbao, do you know what marriage means?"
Jiang Che felt that Ye Zhao probably wouldn't tell Yuan Bao about marriage so soon; he must have heard it from somewhere.
Little Yuanbao shook his head, looking completely bewildered: "Isn't it about... about... holding hands?"
He couldn't remember the exact word, so he simply used a different one. Jiang Che chuckled and patted his hair, explaining, "Marriage is different from dating, Yuanbao. Marriage means Uncle is going to marry your mother, and then live together, spending every day together, eating together, sleeping together..."
"Hmm... I might even have a baby..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanbao's eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "Have another baby? Do you mean have another Yuanbao?"
Jiang Che's smile widened: "There's only one Yuanbao, but it will have other babies..."
Xiao Yuanbao looked puzzled and confused, staring blankly at Jiang Che, seemingly unable to understand what he meant.
Jiang Che smiled and patted his head, saying, "But these things are still a long way off. Your uncle is currently just dating your mother, and your uncle is also wealthy. Does Yuanbao think it's okay?"
Little Yuanbao was stunned for a while, then asked, "Just holding hands but not living together?"
Jiang Che: "...Yeah, that's how it is for now."
Xiao Yuanbao then nodded solemnly: "Alright, I agree."
"Hahahahahaha..." Jiang Che was amused by his serious expression and burst into laughter.
