Chapter 364 Father and Daughter Meet (XII)
Ring ring ring.
The moment the phone rang, Liu Zhen picked up the receiver almost immediately.
"Madam, the guests invited by the gentleman have arrived."
"Who is it?"
Liu Zhen waited for a whole night and finally received a call from the driver.
"It's the editor-in-chief of City Daily, Li Cheng."
Liu Zhen: …
How could it be him? She had even prepared herself mentally that the person with Ye Dong tonight would be a woman, but now she was really surprised.
It seems that she was indeed overthinking.
"Besides Li Cheng, is there anyone else?"
"He came with his fiancée, no one else."
Liu Zhen was completely relieved. "Well, after dinner, persuade him to come back quickly. If he meets someone else, contact me immediately."
"Yes, ma'am."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhen was still a little confused.
Why did meeting Editor Li make him so happy today? She really didn't understand him any more.
…
"Ye Yao, before you come over, I prepared a small gift for Li Cheng's fiancée. I hope you like it."
Dinner was coming to an end. Ye Dong was reluctant to leave, but he also knew it was time to end.
Ye Yao looked at the exquisite gift box he handed to her, but did not take it immediately.
"Uncle Ye, I am already very grateful for your hospitality today. How can I accept your gift?"
She liked him very much, but they had only just met.
Ye Dong smiled, "I told you, this is for Li Cheng's fiancée, and it's something little girls like. If you don't accept it, I have no place to put it."
He deliberately "emphasized" that the gift was not for her, but for Li Cheng.
"Don't you have a daughter who is about my age? You can give it to her!"
Ye Yao didn't think much about it and said it casually.
Ye Dong's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes became unfathomable.
Ye Yao noticed that something was “wrong” with him and looked surprised.
Did she say something wrong?
He looked at Li Cheng with an inquiring look, and Li Cheng just shook his head.
But soon Ye Dong returned to his easygoing self, "She doesn't like this kind of thing."
"Ye Yao, since this is a kind gesture from Mr. Ye, you should accept it."
In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Cheng spoke and gestured to her.
"Okay then, thank you Uncle Ye."
Ye Yao then took the gift box. It was heavy and he didn't know what was inside.
Ye Dong smiled again and sat back down, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
"Ye Yao, who else is there in your family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually felt a little nervous. He had been holding back his worries for the entire night and now he finally said it out loud.
"My mother and I live together."
"What about your dad?"
Ye Dong seemed to have just accepted it casually, but Ye Yao's expression changed.
What he actually wanted to ask was, who was the man he saw in the drama club that day? But he knew that he might never be able to ask this question in his lifetime.
Ye Yao's silence made his heart ache, and he wanted to end the topic immediately.
"Is it true that I asked something wrong..."
"Dead."
Ye Yao interrupted him with a cold voice and also gave the answer.
Ye Dong was completely stunned. He clenched his hands into fists under the table until they hurt.
The relaxed atmosphere in the room disappeared completely because of her answer...
