Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Ze quickly asked, "So? Your son has good taste, right?"
Tan Yuqiu glanced at him, said nothing, and got up to go upstairs. Jiang Ze pursed his lips and said, "Zhao Zhao is so good, you'll like her sooner or later..."
Tan Yuqiu, with her back to him, had a hint of a smile in her eyes at some point, though it wasn't very obvious.
Jiang Ze glanced at her retreating figure, then at the video on his phone, and muttered, "Look at your son, so worthless..."
Before he could finish speaking, a call popped up on his phone. Jiang Ze glanced at the contact name and answered, "Young Master Jiang, you're really into your love life. It's all so dramatic, the whole internet is watching."
Jiang Che listened quietly to him finish speaking before saying, "I'll be staying in Shangyang for a few days. Please keep an eye on things at the company for me."
Jiang Ze replied with a blank expression, then complained after hanging up, "What? You go find someone and I'll do your work..."
...
A thin mist hung in the air, obscuring the mountain scenery. Shangyang remained quiet. In the alley of Guihua Road, Ye Zhao pushed open the door and stepped out.
Today she wore a dark gray coat and wide-legged black trousers. Her long brown hair was slightly curled and draped over her shoulders, giving her a lazy beauty. Her face looked different from her usual unmade-up appearance; she was clearly wearing light makeup today. Her skin was crystal clear, and her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings. Walking in the dark alley, the whole scene came alive because of her.
As she walked, she wrapped the green scarf around her neck. The splash of green was a striking and unexpected finishing touch, making her skin appear even whiter and more delicate.
Ye Zhao walked a short distance, then suddenly stopped, looked ahead, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
On the hazy, bluestone street, a figure emerged from the mist. He wore a black overcoat and black leather boots, walking slowly with his long legs. His eyes were still slightly moist, and he had a gentle smile on his face. When he saw Ye Zhao, he stopped.
The two looked at each other silently from a short distance away, then smiled and looked away. Ye Zhao quietly looked at Jiang Che not far away. To be honest, she felt that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was attracted to Jiang Che a thousand times. This scene also reminded her of a scene in "Pride and Prejudice".
I still look forward to my Mr. Darcy
He will emerge from the misty dawn.
With burning love
Walking on dew and draped in morning mist
In the sleepless morning
With deep affection
"Walking firmly toward me"
Jiang Che smiled and extended a hand to Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao ran towards him with light steps, took his arm, and said, "Let's go, Mr. Darcy!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che's smile deepened, and he replied, "Well... good morning, Ms. Elizabeth."
Ye Zhao smiled, tilted her head back and said, "I'm not that pretty."
Jiang Che looked down at her and said seriously, "To me, you're prettier than her!"
As Ye Zhao walked, she looked up at him and teased, "You're quite something, Mr. Jiang!"
"I didn't know how before, but I learned it all by myself after meeting you."
"Hahahaha, who told me you've never been in a relationship? Look at your sweet talk, it's so smooth."
"I learned it all online..."
Ye Zhao: "..."
"I was just kidding."
The two walked forward chatting and laughing, and the originally gloomy street gradually came to life because of them, making the whole scene peaceful and beautiful.
In the misty morning, people came and went on the bluestone streets. As the sun slowly rose, Shangyang gradually began its day of activity.
"Try my coffee."
Jiang Che smiled and accepted the coffee cup: "Thank you, Boss Ye!"
"You're too kind, Mr. Jiang!"
The little romantic gestures between the two might make an outsider think they weren't really close.
Did you sleep well last night?
"Very good, exceptionally good!"
Ye Zhao looked at him, her eyes full of smiles.
"Please sit down first, I'll go buy breakfast."
"Let's go together."
Let's go!
The breakfast shop Ye Zhao went to was on the next street. At this time, there were relatively few people on Shangyang Street, with only a few people walking around. However, the breakfast shop was already steaming hot and filled with fragrant aromas.
"Boss, three fried dough sticks and two bowls of tofu pudding..."
"Zhaozhao is here! Please sit down, she'll be right there."
The boss greeted Ye Zhao and then turned to work in his small kitchen.
Ye Zhao pulled Jiang Che to sit down beside her and handed him the menu: "See if there's anything else you want to eat. Their tofu pudding is spicy, you can try it later."
"Is this crispy bun delicious?"
"It's delicious, you can try it."
After Ye Zhao finished speaking to him, she turned and shouted to the small kitchen, "Brother Long, three red bean paste pastry buns!"
"Okay!"
After Ye Zhao finished speaking, she turned her head and found Jiang Che looking at her and smiling. She belatedly realized that she had spoken too loudly and awkwardly looked away, saying, "Speak louder so Brother Long can hear me."
Jiang Che smiled and reached out to pat her head. He just felt that Ye Zhao was very lively and down-to-earth, and he liked her very much.
When Brother Long brought out several breakfasts, he noticed that Ye Zhao was accompanied by a handsome guy whose aura was clearly extraordinary.
"Hey! Who's this handsome guy?"
Ye Zhao introduced him generously: "Brother Long, this is my boyfriend, A-Che."
He then said to Jiang Che, "This is Brother Long."
Jiang Che smiled at Brother Long and said, "Good morning, Brother Long!"
Brother Long smiled and said, "Hello, hello! This is the first time I've seen Zhao Zhao's boyfriend. You two are a perfect match!"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Long!"
"You have excellent taste. Our Zhaozhao is amazing, and she's beautiful too!"
"Yes, it's an immense blessing."
"Hahaha, young man, you're really good! Come and try the breakfast, see if it suits your taste..."
Brother Long has a generous and outgoing personality, and Ye Zhao often comes to his place for breakfast. Over time, the two have become quite familiar with each other.
After exchanging a few jokes, Brother Long said he had something to do and turned to get busy, so the two of them slowly began to eat breakfast.
More and more pedestrians were on the street, and the breakfast shop became more and more lively. Because Ye Zhao and his companion were so good-looking, every customer who entered the shop would notice them first.
There was someone next to me watching entertainment videos on their phone. I guessed they were a bit older, and the phone was playing loudly through the speakers.
"A wealthy CEO held a late-night press conference to reveal his three-year-old son's mother, who turned out to be his ex-fiancée from four years ago..."
Ye Zhao and Jiang Che exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat uneasy.
Suddenly the voice changed again: "A male CEO who has been single for many years posted a message late at night, apparently to announce his girlfriend. What's the connection between these two things...?"
Ye Zhao pulled Jiang Che to his feet and was about to leave when the man glanced at them subconsciously, then looked at his phone and suddenly widened his eyes in surprise. Seeing this, Ye Zhao grabbed Jiang Che and ran away.
