Chapter 76: She’s Mine
It was almost 2pm when You Ze arrived at Jiayuan.
Zhong Yi was silently waiting in You Ze’s office, his face sullen.
“Are you sure?”
You Ze stepped into his office and went straight to the table piled with files without taking a break for water.
“You don’t believe me?” Zhong Yi raised his eyebrows.
You Ze smiled and said nothing. He knew Zhong Yi well, who never lacked the love of women and had many girlfriends. Zhong Yi had never been so depressed, as if he couldn’t live without a certain woman.
“I’ve had enough! Damn it! She is pregnant with my child and appears before me every day, but is unapproachable! I’ve never been so depressed!”
Zhong Yi complained indignantly, so aggrieved when remembering Xu Youyou set him up!
“Why did you mess with her? What, can’t accept this fact? Not all women are willing to obey you.”
You Ze lightly gave a lecture, which made Zhong Yi heavily sweat with anxiety.
“Are you helping me or not?”
“Help what? Do you think my wife is easy to deal with? Believe it or not, if she knows that you knocked up her bestie and wanted to avoid any responsibility for that, she will kill you without hesitation!”
You Ze shook his head in silence, amused at the thought of her angry look. He didn’t want to touch Shiyao’s bottom line in case his hard-won wife ran away.
“Not your wife!” Zhong Yi came up to You Ze and thumped on the table.
“Send your men to see what Xu Youyou is doing now.”
You Ze asked back without looking up. “Why bother me with such trivial things? You, young master of Zhong’s, can’t handle it?”
Zhong Yi pursed his lips, embarrassed. He had been away for a year, and didn’t go back during the Spring Festival. There was usually nothing else to do except entertainment, so he had forgotten the home.
“Come on, help me or not?”
Zhong Yi questioned You Ze seriously, and in his heart he had decided to reexamine this friend.
“I can help you, but you must promise me not to hurt her, or my wife will be sad.”
Love Shiyao, love what she loves. In order to make Shiyao happy, You Ze would care about everyone around her.
“Of course! She’s my woman! How can I do that to her?”
Zhong Yi waved his hand anxiously and told You Ze what he wanted to know, and then hurried away.
You Ze casually arranged several people to follow Xu Youyou, and then devoted himself to his work. He could not wait to go home to see his wife.
Shiyao had been preparing the ingredients since 3 pm, putting all her energy into the meal. Watching Shiyao, who had not yet fully recovered, bustle about in the kitchen, Jiang Fengyi chatted happily with the butler.
“I said she is a good granddaughter-in-law, right? Look, she is so nice to A’ze!”
The butler also replied happily. He liked the young lady very much. Since she moved in, the house had been livelier, and You Ze and his grandma had spent more time at home.
Shiyao had been able to stand up without feeling pain in the cut. With no vigorous moves, she could stand longer. In spite of the servants’ persuasion, Shiyao insisted on making every dish herself.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The last dish was just served on the table when You Ze rushed back. Shiyao prepared the dinner with her best cooking skills. You Ze looked at the steaming meal, feeling deeply moved.
‘Is this home?’
“Here you are, A’ze! Come and sit!”
Jiang Fengyi beckoned You Ze over.
“Nana,” You Ze was in good mood. Jiang Fengyi whispered something to his ear.
“I got it, Nana!”
You Ze looked at Shiyao in silence. Nana was right. They had been married so long without holding a wedding. Now that he had decided to learn to love Shiyao, he would no longer hide her. The master of You family couldn’t let his woman be wronged. He was gonna proclaim to the whole world that this was his wife, Mrs. You!
Shiyao rubbed her hands, sat down next to You Ze, and put a piece of fish in his bowl.
“Your favorite braised fish. Have a try?”
Shiyao showed a beaming smile. The first time she had dinner with Nana, she noticed that You Ze mostly ate braised fish. You Ze picked it up with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It tasted nice and tender. What a surprise that this smart girl even secretly remembered what he liked!
“Enjoy yourself, Nana!”
Shiyao smilingly filled Jiang Fengyi’s bowl with food and put it before her. Jiang Fengyi grinned from ear to ear, really satisfied with Shiyao, her granddaughter-in-law.
“Why are you so happy today?” You Ze asked softly.
“Good news! I become the CA!” Shiyao proudly whispered.
“Oh, yeah?”
Clearly You Ze had guessed the reason, but he still deliberately asked Shiyao. He just found Shiyao was so cute at this moment. That kind of happiness from the bottom of her heart seemed to be full of magic, and brought him extreme joy.
“You Ze, I’m gonna take Youyou out for a meal tomorrow!”
Shiyao told You Ze her conversation with Xu Youyou. You Ze seemed to be carefully listening, but was thinking to himself.
It seemed that she didn’t know what happened to Xu Youyou yet.
“What do you think?”
Shiyao anxiously interrupted his trance, a bit guilty of her requirement, After all, she had promised You Ze to stay at home these days.
“Yeah, I’ll go with you.” You Ze savored every dish. To be honest, the girl’s cooking was amazing!
“Alright…”
Xu Youyou went to the hospital to see Mom, and stayed a little bit late before taking a cab back, so it was already 10pm when she arrived home.
There was a five-minute walk from where she got off to her home. The feeling that someone was following her continued all the way.
“Why…?”
Due to sensitivity of pregnancy, Xu Youyou subconsciously covered her lower abdomen. ‘This is a familiar path and I often get along with neighbors, why should I have such a stupid fancy?’
After calming down finally, Xu Youyou hummed a song loud to encourage herself as she walked slowly home.
Reaching the door, Xu Youyou took out the key in the dark. But she was hugged from behind by a figure when the door opened.
“Ah!” Xu Youyou threw away the key and subconsciously struck the man behind her with her bag.
“It’s me!”
Zhong Yi explained coldly while enduring Xu Youyou’s beating, his face clouded.
“What’s your problem?” Xu Youyou swore, “You sneaking around in the middle of the night almost gave me a heart attack.”
“What are you doing here?” Xu Youyou turned the light on Zhong Yi. ‘Is it possible he has followed me all the way?’ Xu Youyou scowled at him, who reminded her of the footsteps behind her.
“Pervert…” Xu Youyou murmured.
