He heard her clearly, but who was she looking for?!
Ye Zhao thought she had gone to the wrong place, and glanced at the door number again, saying, "Excuse me, I might have gone to the wrong place. Let me ask again."
As she spoke, she took out her phone to ask again, but Jiang Che suddenly appeared behind Mu Xu in a wheelchair: "You're here?"
Mu Xu's expression was already as utterly distorted as it could be. He turned his head and saw the faint smile on Jiang Che's face, and his lips twitched.
Ye Zhao placed the breakfast she had just bought on the table and said, "I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little bit of everything. Try it and see if there's anything you like."
Jiang Che sprained his ankle because of her, which is why Ye Zhao is being so attentive today.
Today she wore a light turquoise sleeveless chiffon dress, which made her skin look very fair, and the skirt swayed as she walked, revealing her soft curves.
As she spoke, she turned and smiled at Jiang Che. When Jiang Che met her clear eyes, his expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Okay, thank you. If you haven't eaten, sit down and we can eat together?"
"I should be thanking you. I've already eaten downstairs, you can eat first."
Ye Zhao sat down and, while talking, opened all the breakfasts she had brought and placed them in front of him.
"You don't need to get hurt, it wasn't me. If there's anything I can do to help you these next few days, don't hesitate to ask."
Mu Xu stood at the door for a while, feeling utterly superfluous. After sending Jiang Che a message, she turned around, closed the door, and left.
Jiang Che had a sudden thought and smiled, saying, "There is a small matter I need your help with. I wonder if you have any free time these next couple of days?"
"It would be great if I could help," Ye Zhao said hastily. "It's nothing, I'm not busy lately. Just tell me what you need."
Jiang Che smiled and said, "It's nothing important. I came to Shangyang for work. If you have time, would you like to show me around?"
It was just a small matter, and Ye Zhao quickly agreed: "Of course, it would be great if I could help you."
"Then I might have to trouble you for the next couple of days."
Jiang Che wasn't dressed as formally as he was yesterday. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt and black pants, looking very casual. He had a faint smile on his face, and dimples were faintly visible at the corners of his mouth. A gentle breeze ruffled the wisps of hair on his forehead, and Ye Zhao felt her heart flutter.
"Judging from your accent, you don't sound like a local from Jiashui. Are you from out of town?" Jiang Che asked slowly while eating his breakfast.
Ye Zhao thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I'm from out of town. Where are you from? How did you end up working here?"
Jiang Che pushed the washed fruit on the table towards her and replied gently, "I came from City A. My company has a project that we're planning to launch here, so I came to take a look."
Ye Zhao nodded knowingly: "I see. Will your injury affect your work?"
Jiang Che seemed to know what she was thinking, and smiled slightly, saying, "It won't have much of an impact, it just might be a little inconvenient to travel."
"Then remember to contact me if anything happens..."
"Yes, I will. I still don't know your name?" Jiang Che asked.
Ye Zhao met his smiling eyes, smiled, and said, "My name is Ye Zhao, Ye as in tree leaf, Zhao as in Zhaoyang."
"The 'Chao' in 'Chaoyang' (rising sun)? It's a very nice name," Jiang Che praised.
Ye Zhao laughed and said, "It's alright, it's just a name."
Four years is neither a long nor a short time. Their brief encounter at the beginning did not leave a deep impression on either of them. Several years passed in the blink of an eye, and they both forgot that they had ever met the person in front of them.
Ye Zhao accompanied Jiang Che through breakfast, and after he finished tidying up, she pushed him out of the hotel.
Fei Ming saw the two people leaving the hotel from afar upstairs, and asked blankly, "Brother Xu, is there any hope for me?"
Mu Xu's expression wasn't much better. He looked at the two people downstairs and replied, "Don't ask me, I don't know either."
Who knows what he's feeling right now? The boss has always been aloof from women in front of him. Although that's an exaggeration, he's never seen him get this close to any woman in all the years he's been with Jiang Che. Could he be getting a boss's wife?
Jiang Che had no idea what the two of them were thinking. Ye Zhao accompanied him as they wandered around the ancient city, where they saw many novel gadgets.
After all, Ye Zhao had been here for two years and knew the ancient city better. He showed him around, and the experience was much more rewarding than yesterday.
"I heard there's a guesthouse in Shangyang with a red maple theme? Where is it located?"
Ye Zhao's mind raced, and she asked, "Would you like to see?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "I heard them say yesterday that this guesthouse is very unique and the red maple forest is beautiful, so I'm quite curious."
Ye Zhao was naturally pleased to hear such comments about her guesthouse, and she replied, "It's located north of the ancient city. I'll take you to see it."
Jiang Che readily agreed: "Sure, will it take up your time?"
Ye Zhao shook her head: "No, nothing's been happening lately."
When Yuanbao was at home, there were still many things to do, but as soon as he went out, Ye Zhao had a lot more free time and couldn't wait to find something to do to kill time, so how could she delay?
"That would be perfect."
Ye Zhao called Feng Cheng and asked him to come pick her up.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Che laughed and asked, "You know the boss?"
Ye Zhao just smiled and didn't answer. Jiang Che didn't care either. Everyone has their own private matters and secrets. It's no big deal. After all, they've only known each other for less than a day.
Feng Cheng arrived quickly. He was somewhat surprised to see Ye Zhao pushing Jiang Che, but he didn't ask any questions. It must have been Xiao Lin who told them about this last night.
The weather was cool, and there were quite a few tourists under the willow trees outside the city. The further they went into the maple forest, the more lively it became. Jiang Che saw the vibrant red maple forest in the distance and couldn't help but say, "It is indeed very beautiful and unique. Did the owner plant these trees himself, or were they transplanted?"
Feng Cheng glanced at Ye Zhao in the rearview mirror and, seeing that she didn't intend to answer, said, "This place was originally a wasteland, and there were indeed two old red maple trees. Later, after our boss took over the land, he transplanted many more."
Jiang Che nodded: "Good idea..."
Ye Zhao didn't reply, but instead started introducing the surrounding area to him.
Because of the abundance of rocks and the difficulty of relocation, the residents here live in a relatively scattered manner, and the farmland is also quite fragmented.
Jiang Che listened patiently as Ye Zhao introduced the various places to him. He followed Ye Zhao's gaze to the houses outside the window. A gentle breeze blew Ye Zhao's long hair and lightly brushed Jiang Che's face.
Soft, fragrant long hair brushed against him, making Jiang Che's face slightly itchy. Looking at Ye Zhao's serious profile, he felt a slight ripple in his heart.
Ye Zhao was completely unaware of this. After arriving at the maple forest, Feng Cheng went off to do other things, and Ye Zhao pushed Jiang Che into the maple forest.
The tall red maple trees are vibrant and flamboyant, rippling with red waves in the breeze.
