The living room of the Jiang family mansion was silent. Tan Yuqiu and Jiang Kai remained silent, while Jiang Ze shrank his neck, trying to minimize his presence.
After a long while, Tan Yuqiu finally spoke and asked, "The child you mentioned before, is she from the Shen family? Is that girl named Ye Zhao?"
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Ze nodded and said, "Yes, didn't I say that Zhao Zhao has a child?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yuqiu took a deep breath, looking as if she was furious, and said while suppressing her anger, "But you didn't say that it was a child from the Shen family? Nor did you say that person was Ye Zhao!"
She had met Ye Zhao before, once at a small party. She had a bad impression of the girl and still remembered it. Just thinking about that kind of girl becoming her daughter-in-law gave Tan Yuqiu a headache, especially since both of her sons were so protective of her. The more she thought about it, the more her head ached.
Jiang Kai was unaware of this matter. He was just thinking that since Ye Zhao had such a relationship with the Shen family, if her affair with Jiang Che were to become public, it would definitely have a certain impact on the group. There had to be corresponding countermeasures. However, he did not intend to take action this time. All of this was caused by Jiang Che himself, and he should handle it himself. He also wanted to test Jiang Che's abilities.
Jiang Ze vaguely understood why Tan Yuqiu had such a strong opinion against Ye Zhao. Seeing her obviously angry expression, he tried to comfort her, saying, "Mom, don't be angry, and don't be prejudiced against Zhao Zhao. She... did have a period of time when she wasn't thinking clearly, but she's fine now..."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yuqiu turned around and yelled at him, "You know she wasn't thinking straight before, and you're already defending her like this before she's even married into the family. She's not your wife!"
Jiang Ze: "...She's not my wife, but she's my sister-in-law."
Tan Yuqiu glared at him and said somewhat angrily, "I'm too lazy to talk to you. Hurry up and call your brother and tell him not to announce your relationship in a moment of impulse."
Jiang Ze didn't move, and hesitated before saying, "If they want to announce it, then let them announce it..."
Tan Yuqiu ignored him and picked up her phone, saying, "I'll call myself."
However, after making two consecutive calls, Jiang Che's phone was switched off, which made Tan Yuqiu even angrier.
Jiang Kai remained calm throughout, and upon seeing this, he slowly said, "What's there to be anxious about? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
The thought of someone like Ye Zhao entering her home made Tan Yuqiu feel even more annoyed with Jiang Kai and Jiang Ze, who were trying to persuade her.
Meanwhile, Jiang Che had just gotten off the plane and went straight back to Shangyang with Yuanbao. Worried that something like that might happen again, he was especially cautious this time. He not only covered Yuanbao up completely, but also armed himself in various ways. He was careful all the way and finally arrived at Green Field before 2 o'clock.
"Mother!"
Upon hearing Yuanbao's voice, Ye Zhao finally felt relieved. Seeing Jiang Che following behind, she felt much more at ease. She hugged the child to her arms and subconsciously asked, "Was the journey alright?"
Jiang Che shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm very careful."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Ye Zhao's hair. His originally cold and hard expression softened unconsciously when he saw Ye Zhao.
The two hadn't seen each other for over a month since their last meeting. When their eyes met, a deep longing welled up in their eyes, and they lingered in each other's gaze until Mu Xu caught up from behind, interrupting their eye contact.
Jiang Che naturally reached out and took Yuanbao from Ye Zhao's arms, saying gently, "Let's go, let's discuss how to handle this matter first."
Everyone in Green Field knew what had happened that morning, so they took Yuanbao out to play, leaving Jiang Che and Ye Zhao alone in the room.
Seeing them leave the courtyard, Ye Zhao slowly began, "Chen Du said..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Che hugged her from behind, and her voice stopped abruptly. Jiang Che said softly, "What does he have to say? You tell me first if you miss me..."
Jiang Che's unique, refreshing scent enveloped her from behind. Ye Zhao leaned back contentedly, feeling a sense of peace and security. Listening to Jiang Che's whispers in her ear, Ye Zhao nodded without hesitation: "Yes! I want to!"
Jiang Che said softly, "I miss you so much too!"
Sweet words whispered in Ye Zhao's ear, like a gentle spring rain falling on her heart, soothing her longing of more than a month. She craved this feeling immensely.
The two embraced and talked for a while before Jiang Che released her, pulled her to sit down, and asked, "Does Chen Du want to make Yuanbao's existence public?"
Ye Zhao looked at him with some surprise: "How did you know?"
Jiang Che pursed his lips and said, "I guessed it. What are you thinking?"
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea. He pushed one cup in front of Ye Zhao and drank the other cup down in one gulp.
Just a few minutes ago, he was embracing Ye Zhao and whispering sweet nothings to her. Now, he's all serious, and the ease he exudes makes Ye Zhao feel incredibly at ease, as if he can handle any problem, no matter how big.
Jiang Che's phone kept ringing with calls, and after replying to a few messages, he simply turned it off silent and left it aside.
Ye Zhao held the warm teacup and said slowly, "Anyway, Yuanbao is his child. This matter will be exposed sooner or later, so there's nothing wrong with making it public sooner."
Jiang Che nodded and said, "That's what I think too. It's better for everyone if we do this. It's much better to admit it sooner rather than later when it's exposed."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Zhao and asked, "What about our relationship? What are your thoughts?"
Ye Zhao met his gaze and asked in return, "And you? What do you think?"
Jiang Che smiled and said in a low voice, "I want to go public, but I'm afraid you won't agree."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Why would you think I'm unwilling?"
Jiang Che's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked impatiently, "You're willing?"
Ye Zhao asked again, "Why do you think I would be unwilling?"
Jiang Che met her sharp gaze, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, and said, "You are a person who hates trouble, but once you go public with our relationship, there will definitely be a lot of trouble."
Ye Zhao laughed and said, "Don't you know me a little too well?"
After laughing, he asked again, "If it were made public, wouldn't it cause you a lot of trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che quickly shook his head, gripped her hand tightly, and said, "I'm not afraid of trouble. As long as Boss Ye is willing to give me a title, I can handle anything."
Ye Zhao felt that Jiang Che was like a little dog wagging its tail at this moment, obedient and very lovable, as if waiting for someone to stroke its fur.
Thinking this, she did reach out and touch his fluffy, soft hair, and said, "Then let's go public!"
