Ye Zhao was quite embarrassed, after all, the matter was complicated.
Lin Yu sensed something was wrong from her expression and pulled her aside, asking, "Tell me quickly, I've been saying something's off between you two."
Ye Zhao blushed for the first time in a long time, not because she was shy, but because her child was already so big, and talking about these things was really embarrassing.
Lin Yu became even more excited, pointing at her face and laughing, "Look at you, you still say you're fine, but your face is all red."
The more she talked, the redder Ye Zhao's face became. The two joked around for a while before stopping. Ye Zhao slowly said, "It's nothing, it's just that maybe he has a little bit of a crush on me."
Lin Yu looked at her with a mocking expression: "Just a little something? You'd better tell me honestly, did he confess to you?"
Ye Zhao nodded: "You could say that."
Lin Yu smiled excitedly: "I knew it! How could someone be this nice to someone for no reason? Even if they're a friend, this is too much!"
Ye Zhao recalled Jiang Che's actions over this period of time, and realized that he had indeed been very attentive to her.
Lin Yu asked her excitedly, "And what about you? What do you think?"
Ye Zhao's smile faded a little, and her expression became much more serious: "If we're talking about being friends, Jiang Che would undoubtedly be a very good friend, but before he told me those things, I never even considered our relationship in that way."
Lin Yu pressed further, "So what are you thinking now?"
Ye Zhao sighed and said slowly, "I still haven't figured it out. I've been so busy lately, I haven't had time to think about these things."
Lin Yu nodded, seemingly lost in thought, and then said, "Actually, I think Jiang Che is quite good. I haven't heard any gossip about him over the years, his social circle is clean, and his family is good too, it's just..."
At this point, she seemed a little hesitant to speak: "It's just that your ex-fiancé's cousin keeps bothering him, it's a bit troublesome, especially considering your relationship."
Ye Zhao almost didn't understand who her ex-fiancé's cousin was talking about. After a moment of reaction, she said, "Could you please not use such a long prefix next time?"
Lin Yu said slowly, "I'm just afraid you'll forget about this relationship."
Ye Zhao glanced at her speechlessly: "I can't forget that."
Lin Yu said seriously, "I'm serious, but if you're going to be with him, you need to be mentally prepared. After all, you're in the same circle, and the Jiang family has a certain influence in City A. There will be a lot of gossip and rumors going on, and if things go wrong, you could be smeared by the entire internet..."
Ye Zhao casually took a sip of water and asked in return, "Do you think I would worry about these things if I really wanted to be with him?"
Lin Yu said seriously, "You're not afraid, but what about Yuanbao?"
This time, Ye Zhao didn't speak, her head lowered as if deep in thought, seemingly lost in thought.
"There's no rush. Let's think it through slowly."
Ye Zhao sighed slowly and didn't say anything more.
Meanwhile, He Jie and his friends received gossip about Jiang Che.
"What? Che-ge has a girlfriend? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
"Is it fake? I've never heard him say that."
Wang Shuo frowned and said, "Xiao Qi said that she saw him with a woman during dinner last night."
Fang Yizhou exclaimed, "Wow, I was wondering what he'd been up to lately. Turns out he'd been holding back a big one. Isn't it gorgeous?"
Wang Shuo took out his phone, turned on the screen, and the others crowded around.
Fang Yizhou said with a look of disgust, "How could it be filmed like this? It can only distinguish between men and women."
He Jie clicked his tongue and said, "How can you tell? You can only say it's a woman."
Wang Shuo added, "I heard from Xiao Qi that Brother Che is very considerate to this woman, and he asked me if he has a girlfriend recently."
Fang Yizhou was skeptical: "That can't be right. If you have a partner, why would you hide it instead of being open about it?"
He Jie frowned and said slowly, "But we've never seen him be this close to any woman before. Could something really be going on?"
The group exchanged thoughtful glances, and Fang Yizhou took out his phone: "Why not just call him over and ask him? Why bother guessing? It's too much trouble."
So, an hour later, Jiang Che, who was originally going to the hospital, was taken to Lan Hai by Fang Yizhou and He Jie. At the same time, Shen Du and Xie Ming were also called over, both looking completely bewildered.
The others sat around the perimeter, leaving Jiang Che alone on the sofa in the middle.
Jiang Che calmly looked around and asked, "What are you doing? Interrogating me?"
He Jie, feigning a serious expression, said, "Confess, bro, do you have a girlfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Du discreetly observed them. The others looked at Jiang Che with curiosity, and Xie Ming was also somewhat surprised, asking, "Really? How come I didn't know?"
Jiang Che frowned upon hearing this, his mind racing, but his expression remained calm as he slowly asked, "Who told you that?"
Seeing this, Fang Yizhou pressed on, "Just tell me, bro, do you have it or not?"
Jiang Che was silent for two seconds, and before he could finish speaking, Shen Du asked casually, "We didn't know about this. Where did you get this information from?"
Jiang Che and he exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke again.
Wang Shuo replied casually, "Hey, Du-ge, don't you know? My Xiaoqi and Jiayi are close. Xiaoqi said she saw Che-ge having dinner with a woman last night, and asked me to help Jiayi find out if Che-ge is dating someone."
Jiang Che frowned, turned to look at Chen Du, and said in a slightly somber tone, "Wasn't I clear enough to her?"
Anyone with eyes could see that he was angry, and the others all fell silent.
Chen Du lowered his eyes and then looked at Jiang Che and said, "I will remind her that if she bothers you again in the future, you don't need to worry about my feelings."
Jiang Che had been waiting for these words. Over the years, he had turned a blind eye to Shen Jiayi's actions, only doing so out of consideration for Shen Du and the Shen family. Now that he had someone he wanted to protect, and she still kept provoking him, he shouldn't blame him for not showing her any mercy.
Seeing this, He Jie smiled and said, "Why are you suddenly so serious? We're just having a casual chat between brothers."
Fang Yizhou also smiled and tried to lighten the mood, saying, "It's just a casual chat. If it's true, it's true; if it's true, it's true."
Jiang Che then slowly said, "Not yet."
The group widened their eyes in surprise and asked, "What does this mean?"
"What else do you mean?"
"What do you mean you haven't explained it clearly enough?"
The others crowded around in surprise, but Chen Du remained calmly seated.
Jiang Che glanced at him and said calmly, "The literal meaning."
