20 – Pool Honey, My Geng Tie, Keep It Well
What kind of thing could be considered a peerless treasure?
And it’s the Ye family’s peerless treasure at that.
That must be priceless!
Chi Mi’s eyes lit up.
But she remained calm on the surface, forcing herself to stay composed as she opened it.
Then she saw a gold-inlaid jade cover, with two words written in running script in the middle: “Birth Chart.”
Chi Mi: ???
What kind of peerless treasure is Ye Zhuohuai’s birth chart?
He probably wants to say that he is the peerless treasure!
He really never misses a chance to show off!
Chi Mi was speechless.
“My birth details, keep them safe!” Ye Zhuohuai couldn’t hide the pride in his eyes. “Do you know what this meant in ancient times?”
You know it’s ancient times too!
But we’re not in ancient times now!
As expected of a wealthy family, even the birth chart is gold-inlaid jade.
Ye Zhuohuai is a Leo man born at sunrise.
“Wifey, next time we meet, give me your birth chart.”
“No!” Chi Mi refused. “We’re dating right now, not getting married. Why exchange birth charts? Ye Zhuohuai, you’ve never been in a relationship before—don’t you want to enjoy the honeymoon phase a bit longer?”
“I do!”
And he wants to get to know her better.
Forget it, there’s no rush.
He has other ways.
“Wifey, this represents my sincerity.” Ye Zhuohuai stared at her. “You don’t seem very happy.”
Chi Mi forced a smile. “How could I not be happy? It means you want to marry me, and it means I’ve landed myself a golden ticket.”
“I do want to marry you, but it seems you’re not ready yet. I’ll just keep dating you a while longer. Tell me where you want to go on dates, and I’ll arrange it.”
“I don’t have any specific requests. Just arrange it, and I’ll go.” Chi Mi put the birth chart back. “I need to work now. During work hours, let’s not disturb each other.”
“I don’t mind. You can disturb me anytime, even during work hours. You’re way more important than work!”
“You’re a bit of a love fool.” Chi Mi casually tossed it into a drawer.
Ye Zhuohuai stared in disbelief.
She just threw his thing in there like that!
“Chi Mi, am I spoiling you too much? You don’t seem to care about my things at all!” Ye Zhuohuai leaned on her desk with both hands. “Huh? Just tossing my birth chart aside? And what about my gift?”
“Your gift can’t be rushed. I’ll prepare it properly.” Chi Mi replied while taking his birth chart out and placing it in her bag. “I’ll keep your birth chart safe too.”
“You’d better. If you dare lie to me, I’ll kiss you until you cry!” Ye Zhuohuai had an appointment and had to leave.
But he really didn’t want to part with Chi Mi.
Ye Zhuohuai walked around to her side, lifted her chin, and kissed her deeply.
“Mmm…”
“Mmm… ah.”
Chi Mi breathed heavily, her gaze dazed. “Did you brush your teeth?”
“I did! Can’t you tell? Seems like the kiss wasn’t deep enough.” Ye Zhuohuai finally kissed the lips he’d been dreaming of and licked his lips, savoring the moment.
Wifey is so sweet.
“Stop!” Chi Mi covered his mouth. “Today’s kissing practice ends here.”
Kissing practice?
His wifey is really something.
Ye Zhuohuai eagerly awaited her praise. “Has my kissing improved?”
It should have, right?
He kissed her until she was dazed, and her earlobes turned red.
“A little…”
Ye Zhuohuai kissed her palm again. “I’m leaving.”
“Bye-bye~”
This time, Ye Zhuohuai didn’t linger and left the hospital.
In the conference room of Ye Li Group, Chi An waited and waited, but Ye Zhuohuai still hadn’t arrived.
Is he coming or not?
“Young Master Chi, please wait a bit longer! Our president went to the hospital to see Miss Chi and is still on his way.” Yi Qian brought in a fruit platter and some desserts. “No rush, have something to eat.”
“Tsk tsk, those injuries on your face haven’t healed yet! Who did you fight with? And why?”
Yi Qian sat down casually. “Want me to teach you a few moves?”
“Thanks, but no need. I don’t fight often.” Chi An had no appetite. “Does President Ye fight often?”
“He does!”
“Does he have violent tendencies?” Chi An clenched his fists. “Would he hit my sister?”
“Young Master, you’ve got it wrong! Our president practices martial arts for self-defense, not what you’re thinking.” Yi Qian explained. “I think the president really likes Miss Chi. I’m quite surprised.”
Too many women have pursued Ye Zhuohuai. Although many have been put off by his sharp tongue, some are undeterred, charging ahead despite setbacks.
If they find out about Miss Chi and the president being together, there’s bound to be trouble.
Chi An snorted. “My sister is so beautiful! I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone liked her.”
“He’s here.” Ye Zhuohuai strode confidently into the conference room.
Yi Shen set down the laptop and gave Yi Qian a look.
The two brothers left the conference room.
Chi An was a bit afraid of Ye Zhuohuai. Now that they were alone, he felt his imposing and intimidating presence even more.
“President Ye.”
“Just call me brother-in-law.” Ye Zhuohuai placed his fingers on the keyboard. “Today’s first lesson: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.”
“Brother-in-law, go ahead.” Chi An pushed aside the snacks on the table, ready to take notes.
“No need to take notes today.” Ye Zhuohuai started typing. “What does your sister like to eat?”
Chi An: ???
Wait a minute!
Ye Zhuohuai just wants to use him to learn about his sister!
“Chi An, to succeed, intelligence is key. What kind of country are we? A country of relationships and social graces!” Ye Zhuohuai raised an eyebrow. “What’s her favorite color? What gifts does she like? What season does she prefer?”
Chi An held his head—too many questions at once!
“Are you serious about my sister?”
“Of course. If I weren’t serious, do you think I’d bother with you? If you weren’t my future brother-in-law, I wouldn’t even glance at you if you were homeless.” Ye Zhuohuai was as proud as ever.
He never paid attention to irrelevant people.
Chi An pressed further. “What do you like about her?”
Most people are drawn to looks at first sight!
Looks!
His sister is incredibly beautiful, with a great figure, a wonderful personality, high education, and excellent poise.
In his eyes, his sister is the perfect woman!
“That’s not something I’d tell you. If your sister wants to know, she can ask me herself.” Ye Zhuohuai looked at the empty form in front of him. “Chi An, can you just answer your brother-in-law’s questions honestly?”
“Then why don’t you ask my sister?”
“Asking her directly is too obvious. Asking you and then tailoring my approach is what makes it a surprise. Clearly, you’re single and don’t understand relationships or women!” Ye Zhuohuai slapped his shoulder. “It’s fine, little brother-in-law. You’re still young.”
“I’m not young!”
“Not young, huh?” Ye Zhuohuai laughed. “Want to compare in the bathroom?”
Chi An: ???
What?
“Compare! I want to see if you can make my sister happy!” Chi An stood up. “Hmph!”
“You’ve got guts, kid!” Ye Zhuohuai stood up too. “Let’s go.”
