At ten o’clock at night, Tang Wanjun dropped Chi Zaozao off at the Ye Family’s home.
Once home, Chi Zaozao’s mind was still consumed with thoughts of the men and women in the bar, disheveled and passionately kissing.
She spaced out in the car and, even after the car had stopped, was reluctant to get out.
Tang Wanjun leaned over to unbuckle her seatbelt, and because of that posture, from a certain window upstairs of the Ye house, it appeared as if the two were kissing.
The curtains were drawn shut with a whoosh, and the figure beside the window also disappeared.
“Chi Zaozao!” Tang Wanjun, close at hand, stared at the girl who was daydreaming and teasingly called out to her.
Chi Zaozao snapped back to reality and hastily pushed him away, “If you have something to say, say it.
Why do you have to get so close to me?”
Tang Wanjun laughed, “You’ve arrived home.
Why aren’t you getting out of the car?
Could it be that you’re reluctant to part with me?”
Such a narcissist.
Chi Zaozao pushed the car door open and ran into the Ye house without looking back.
Tang Wanjun watched her petite figure, watched as she whisked away like the wind without even saying goodbye, feeling dejectedly stifled in his heart.
Chi Zaozao got home at ten o’clock tonight; the seniors of the family were still seated in the living room.
Chi Zaozao walked over to them politely and greeted, “Daddy, Mommy, you haven’t gone to bed yet?”
Xue Rong Zhen beckoned her over, “How could we sleep without you back home?
Come here!”
Chi Zaozao walked over and was pulled to sit beside Xue Rong Zhen.
“Let me ask you, was it Wanjun who drove you home?”
Chi Zaozao nodded.
“Are you dating Wanjun?” Xue Rong Zhen asked again.
Upon hearing this, Chi Zaozao’s cheeks flushed red with anger as she glared at Xue Rong Zhen and retorted, “How can you say such a thing?
Aren’t I your future daughter-in-law?
How could I be dating another man!”
Xue Rong Zhen smiled and, stroking the girl’s head, said reassuringly, “Then we were just overthinking it.
But Zaozao, if you really do like Wanjun, Daddy and Mommy won’t blame you.
Really, as long as you’re happy, we won’t stand in your way.”
Chi Zaozao became puzzled and stared at Xue Rong Zhen quietly; she could feel that they were hiding something from her.
Blinking her eyes, she pouted and asked, “What do you mean?
Are you not planning to marry me off to Ye Que anymore?”
“…”
Xue Rong Zhen and Ye Zhenhua exchanged a look and suddenly fell silent.
Seeing them not speaking, Chi Zaozao became even more anxious and jumped up to ask, “Is it because I’m not good enough for him?
Is there something I did wrong, something that made you dislike me?”
Even if Ye Er doesn’t marry you, you are still the treasured pearl of our family.
Daddy and Mommy will always love you.”
“He won’t marry me?” Chi Zaozao was taken aback.
Xue Rong Zhen sighed, “I don’t know what Ye Er is thinking.
Over the years, he hasn’t had a single woman by his side, and we thought he seemed to be waiting for you to grow up.
But…
today, your Daddy and I found out that he actually has a girlfriend.”
Ye Que has a girlfriend?
This news was undoubtedly like a heavy bomb that instantly exploded in Chi Zaozao’s world.
How is that possible?
Over the years, she was with him every day; when had she ever seen another woman by his side?
She didn’t believe it and got to her feet to leave.
Xue Rong Zhen wanted to hold her back, yet hesitated.
Chi Zaozao, furious, stomped upstairs and violently pushed open the door to Ye Que’s study.
Seeing him sitting at the desk dealing with some documents, she didn’t care about anything else and walked over to ask, “Ye Que, when did you get a girlfriend?”
