Jiang Che first took Lin Yu back, and then turned around to see Ye Zhao off.
In late autumn in City A, the weather was quite cool in the mornings and evenings. There weren't many pedestrians on the road at this time. Ye Zhao occasionally glanced out the window but didn't say anything.
Jiang Che turned to look at her profile and asked, "Tired? You've been shopping all day, haven't you?"
Ye Zhao turned her head and saw him, then smiled and nodded: "It's been a long time since I've gone shopping like this, it's quite tiring."
Jiang Che looked intently at the car and said slowly, "Go back and get some rest."
Ye Zhao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "I wonder if those two experts have rested well? I'd like to invite the three of them to dinner tomorrow."
Ye Zhao had asked about this in the morning, but Jiang Che said that the experts wanted to rest more, so Ye Zhao didn't ask again.
Jiang Che replied, "I'll ask in a bit. I'll go with you tomorrow."
Ye Zhao quickly replied, "If you're busy, don't worry about me, I can manage on my own."
Jiang Che replied without hesitation, "Not in a hurry."
This left Ye Zhao speechless.
Jiang Che turned to look at her, his tone filled with anticipation, and asked, "President Ye's condition has stabilized a lot now, and things have been mostly resolved. How about I take you out for a walk these next couple of days to help you relax?"
Ye Zhao knew what dating was all about, so she smiled and replied, "Sure, I've been feeling tired lately."
After saying that, she asked worriedly, "But it won't take up your time, will it?"
Everyone says big bosses are incredibly busy, right? But Jiang Che doesn't seem that busy.
Jiang Che laughed and said, "What's there to delay? There's a hot spring in Xishan, A City. It's been cool lately, so we can go for a soak. Or there's a horse farm to the north where I can take you horseback riding or hunting. It depends on what you like. If all else fails, we can go hiking... There are quite a few places to visit around A City, but I don't know which kind you prefer."
Ye Zhao realized that she hadn't been to a hot spring in a long time, so she simply said, "Then let's go to a hot spring? I haven't been in a long time either."
"Okay, let's go together."
Ye Zhao suggested, "Why don't we invite Aze along? We haven't seen him for several days."
Jiang Ze: "...He's been staying home with his parents lately, so it's probably not convenient for him."
After saying that, he vaguely sensed something and suggested, "Why don't you ask Lin Yu if she's going? Invite Xie Ming along too."
He was just worried that Ye Zhao would find it less fun with just the two of them, or that having two more people would make things more comfortable, which is why he suggested Lin Yu.
Ye Zhao turned to look at him in surprise: "You know about them too?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "They're all in the same circle, and they didn't hide their blind dates, so it's normal for them to know."
Ye Zhao nodded and slowly said, "Then let me ask..."
Actually, whether she asked Ye Zhao or not, Lin Yu probably already knew the answer. If she knew that she would be going with Xie Ming, she would refuse without even thinking.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu agreed the moment Ye Zhao sent her the message.
"Alright, I'll go see who it is that my parents praise so highly!"
While replying to messages, Ye Zhao slowly said to Jiang Che, "She agreed..."
Jiang Che nodded: "Okay, I'll tell Xie Ming later."
The trip to Xishan Hot Springs was thus decided. Jiang Che took Ye Zhao back to the hotel and watched her go inside before starting the car and driving back. While waiting at a traffic light, he made a phone call to Xie Ming.
The phone rang, and after a moment, it was answered, with Xie Ming's lazy voice saying, "What's wrong, A-Che?"
"Are you going to Xishan later the day after tomorrow?" Jiang Che asked directly.
Xie Ming was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What's up? Why do you suddenly want to go to Xishan? Who did you invite?"
"I made an appointment with Lin Yu."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then it exploded.
"Jiang Che, are you trying to steal my woman? I may have feelings for that woman... but... can't you do something decent for once..."
Jiang Che tried to say a few words, but Xie Ming spoke too fast, and he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Once he finally calmed down, Jiang Che asked, "Not just her, are you going or not?"
Xie Ming immediately said, "Go! Why shouldn't I go!"
"Okay, see you at Xishan the night after tomorrow."
Jiang Che didn't care what Xie Ming was thinking; he hung up the phone after speaking.
Xie Ming, on the other end of the phone, felt increasingly uneasy.
He knew that Lin Yu had been going to the hospital these past two days. He had known for a long time that she and Ye Zhao had a good relationship, and he also knew about Ye Feng's accident, so he wasn't surprised that Lin Yu was going to the hospital. She was probably going there for Ye Zhao's sake.
But why would Jiang Che suddenly invite them to go to the hot springs together? Xie Ming's expression became more and more strange as he thought about it. He called Jiang Che again, but there was no answer. He was so curious that he wanted to run over and ask him right away.
However, Jiang Che didn't answer after Xie Ming made two calls, so he decided to try to get information out of Lin Yu directly.
"Shall we go to the hot springs together tomorrow?"
"Who wants to date you?"
"Can't you be a little gentler with me?"
"If you can't be gentle, go find someone who is!"
"What's your relationship with Jiang Che like?"
"What do you care about our relationship? Anyway, it's better than being with you."
Did you know that Jiang Che is in a relationship recently?
"Do you know what to do? What do you want to ask?"
"His girlfriend is Ye Zhao?"
"...Who told you that? You can't tell anyone else, or I'll never forgive you!"
It really is Ye Zhao! Xie Ming couldn't hide his surprise. He had speculated before and suspected it was Ye Zhao, but he thought it was unlikely. He had met Ye Zhao a few times and would never associate Jiang Che with her. But it turned out to be her!
How did these two people, who are completely on different wavelengths, end up together? Xie Ming just couldn't figure it out.
While he was still surprised by Jiang Che and Ye Zhao's situation, his chat window with Lin Yu kept popping up, as she sent him several messages in a row.
"Didn't you hear me? You can't tell anyone!"
"If you tell me, I'll never forgive you!"
"Who told you? Is there anyone else who knows?"
Even through the screen, Xie Ming could feel her anxiety. After reading these messages, he slightly curved his lips and replied, "Is this how you ask for help?"
"Can't you be a little gentler with me?"
"If you treat me to a meal, I won't tell anyone."
Lin Yu was speechless when she saw these messages. She replied expressionlessly while typing on her phone, "Whatever attitude you want, we can't tell anyone about this anyway."
"We can have dinner, you decide the time."
"But let me make this clear first: you have to keep your mouth shut after you've eaten."
Lin Yu wore a smug smile. Inviting him to dinner wasn't the same as accompanying him to dinner; the meal itself was enough.
