Ye Zhao didn't know where things went wrong, causing the plot to deviate somewhat, but it wasn't her problem anyway, since she had already strayed from the storyline.
So she replied, "How would I know? It's his own business."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu pursed her lips and said, "I'm just a little curious..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Ye Zhao pick up her phone to reply to a message, a smile on her face. She couldn't help but say sourly, "Oh, you two are in the honeymoon phase, aren't you? Look at you, smiling like you're worthless."
Ye Zhao's smile grew even brighter as she tilted her chin up and said, "I'll laugh then, so what?"
With a smug little expression just like Yuanbao's, Cheng Yu laughed when he saw this, and shook his head helplessly.
Since returning, she had clearly noticed a change in Ye Zhao. Before falling in love, Ye Zhao was a very gentle and stable person, with a refined demeanor. After falling in love, her emotions became more pronounced, and she often wore a sweet smile. She spoke and acted more gently, and her overall tolerantness and happiness increased. Moreover, she seemed more vibrant than before, and Cheng Yu enjoyed seeing this side of her.
The two peeled chestnuts in silence. Cheng Yu, lost in thought, suddenly asked, "Didn't Jiang Che say he was coming? Why haven't I seen him?"
She was genuinely curious about what kind of person Ye Zhao could praise so highly.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "He's busy with work, so it'll probably be a couple of days later."
Since their last separation, the two hadn't seen each other for over a month. It would be a lie to say they didn't miss each other, but work was also important. Ye Zhao supported his work, and since their relationship was stable, they could meet whenever they wanted.
Cheng Yu sighed, "It seems that having a boyfriend who's too successful isn't always a good thing. When he's busy with work, he doesn't have time to spend with you."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Since you've made the choice, you have to respect it. There's nothing I can do about being busy with work..."
Cheng Yu didn't say anything more, but turned to ask Lin Yu.
"What's going on with Xiaoyu? Is she really getting together with Xie Ming?"
Ye Zhao recalled Lin Yu's state last time and couldn't help but smile: "Probably, didn't you see the look on her face? She was laughing like that when she replied to a message..."
Cheng Yu sighed and said, "Fine, fine, you're all dating, leaving me all alone."
Ye Zhao bluntly exposed her, saying, "You can date too. I thought that younger brother who brought you here last time was quite good..."
When this was mentioned, Cheng Yu's expression clearly changed. She retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? He's just a colleague..."
Ye Zhao curled her lips into a half-smile and replied, "It would be best if..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu glared at her and said, "Exactly."
Ye Zhao chuckled softly, and Cheng Yu angrily covered her mouth, the two of them laughing together for a moment.
Xiaolin said that it's been cold lately, so he wanted something warm to eat in the evening. He prepared a stew of chestnut chicken, a braised beef brisket with potatoes, a chicken hot pot, and some stir-fried side dishes. Since things weren't busy at Green Field lately, everyone helped prepare the dishes.
Yang Xu was a very outgoing young man. He didn't go with Yuanbao when Chen Du went out, but stayed behind to chat with the others. In just two hours, he had become friends with Xiao Lin, Yang Juan, and the others, and they got more and more into the conversation. Xiao Lin felt like she had known him for a long time.
Meanwhile, Yuanbao pulled Chendu out the door, his little face beaming with smiles. He introduced Chendu to everyone he met as his father, which naturally drew curious glances from the crowd, leaving Chendu feeling quite awkward. To make matters worse, little Yuanbao earnestly taught him to smile politely at people, forcing Chendu to put on a perfunctory smile that was both mechanical and stiff.
But seeing Yuanbao's happy expression, Chen Du couldn't bear to be cold, so he could only suppress his emotions and accompany him on a tour of Shangyang.
By evening, almost everyone in Shangyang knew that Yuanbao's father had arrived.
It wasn't until the third wave of curious onlookers walked out of the courtyard that Ye Zhao's expression finally crumbled, while Cheng Yu stood aside, suppressing her laughter, her whole body shaking with mirth.
Ye Zhao turned to Yang Xu and said, "Stop laughing, quickly call your boss and tell him to come back for dinner."
Yang Xu quickly suppressed his smile and replied, "Okay!"
As soon as she finished speaking, another person walked in from outside the door. Ye Zhao looked up and met Sister Li's gaze.
Sister Li saw Ye Zhao and asked with a smile, "What are you busy with, Zhao Zhao?"
"Sister Li, come in and have a seat. I haven't had much to do these past few days, so I took a break this afternoon..."
Sister Li waved her hand and said, "I won't sit down. I heard you're going to remarry Yuanbao's father? Is that true?"
Ye Zhao stood there, stunned, her lips twitching. She was furious for a moment, but when she thought of the person who had angered her, her anger subsided by half.
The people around them started laughing. Ye Zhao glared at them and said to Sister Li, "Where did you hear that? It's not true. He just came to pick up Yuanbao for a trip."
Sister Li nodded in realization: "Oh, I heard it from someone on the way here. I was saying it was impossible. Weren't you and Xiao Jiang doing well? How come another one has suddenly appeared..."
Ye Zhao laughed awkwardly twice and replied, "No, that's not true. He just came to pick up Yuanbao for a trip."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Sister Li got up and left, and everyone finally started laughing.
As Shen Du was about to lead Yuanbao inside, a short woman suddenly walked out. Yuanbao happily called out, "Auntie!"
Sister Li smiled and responded, her gaze falling on Shen Du, but she didn't dare to look at him too closely after meeting his gaze. She simply nodded and left.
After walking a few steps, she turned back to look at the tall and imposing Chen Du, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Good heavens, Zhao Zhao has such good taste! Every man she chooses is more handsome than the last..."
As Shen Du led Yuanbao through the gate, he suddenly heard laughter coming from the courtyard. The next second, he heard Cheng Yu say without any restraint, "It's only been a short while, and the rumors have already spread this far. Zhao Zhao, you should thank your good son, hahaha... and remarriage, hahahaha..."
Upon hearing a few words, Chen Du paused slightly. The next second, Yuanbao broke free from his hand and ran inside. The people in the courtyard noticed his arrival, and their laughter suddenly subsided.
Ye Zhao watched Yuanbao run in, and with a forced smile, waved to him: "Yuanbao, come here..."
When Yuanbao saw Ye Zhao's expression, he instinctively shrank back. Seeing Ye Zhao stand up and walk towards him, he turned and ran away, anxiously calling out, "Mommy, Mommy, I love you, baby loves you!"
Ye Zhao quickened her pace, angrily saying to him, "You little brat, what trouble have you caused me this afternoon..."
