"You really are irresponsible," Liu Qing floated beside Ye Zichen with a look of disdain.
Ye Zichen extinguished the cigarette in his hand on the trash can beside him, then stretched lazily and smacked her head.
"What do you know?"
Ye Rong was his mom. How could he, the son, not understand her?
The best way to deal with it was for Xiao Yumei and his mom to chat alone. His being there would only make the situation more awkward.
"Tsk, what are you pretending for," Liu Qing twitched her mouth at Ye Zichen's back, then floated beside him.
Ye Zichen put his hands on his waist as he looked at the endless gravel path. It seems like Lil' White really had developed a wild side to him.
He was actually not standing guard at home and ran outside to play.
He was definitely going to teach Lil' White a good lesson when he finds him. At that moment, a poodle, holding its head up high, appeared alongside a group of dogs all several times his size on the gravel path.
Ye Zichen glanced over. Who else could the poodle be in the lead be if not for Lil' White?
"Lil White."
Ye Zichen called. Hearing that, the poodle immediately looked up excitedly, and ran over with its tongue out.
"Boss, you're finally back. I've been starving these past few days."
Lil' White stuck out its tail and kept on rubbing his head against the corner of Ye Zichen's trousers.
Slap.
Ye Zichen raised his hand and slapped Lil' White's head. This slap instantly called Lil' White to roll over.
All of the dogs following Lil' White yelped, then leaped towards Ye Zichen.
Lil' White immediately jumped up and blocked off the path, as he started to bark at them.
"What are they saying?"
At this moment, the translator, Liu Qing, had to speak up. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "These dogs all seems to be Lil' White's subordinates. He's scolding them right now!"
As expected, not long later, Lil' White ran beside Ye Zichen's leg to rub his head happily once again.
Meanwhile, the dogs that were looking at him with murderous gazes just now all acted like pups as they sat on the ground with their tongues out and looked at them.
Kick.
Ye ZIchen kicked Lil' White then said with a smile unlike a smile, "Wow, you're living a pretty good life. You already know how to accept lackeys."
"It's all to serve boss."
Lil' White raised his paws in an attempt to salute, but he was unable to lift it that high, causing his action to look completely ridiculous.
Then, Ye Zichen brought Lil' White back to the mansion. Before going back, Lil' White did remember to tell his subordinates to return to their homes.
"Mom, I found Lil' White."
Ye Zichen returned to the mansion with Lil' White in tow.
Mother Ye sighed helplessly when she saw Ye Zichen. It seems like the two women pretty much finished chatting.
"You," Mother Ye shook her head, stood up from the sofa and walked to the kitchen.
Ye Zichen quickly sat onto the sofa. Xiao Yumei's face was still a bit red, as if she wasn't completely over their conversation just now.
"What did mom say to you?"
"Not much, she just kept on praising you."
"Yeah, she truly is my mom."
…
Xiao Yumei did not stay after dinner. Instead, she returned to her own home.
Ye Zichen actually wanted to get her to stay, but Xiao Yumei insisted on leaving, so he didn't force her.
When night came.
Ye Zichen sat in the living room and watched variety shows. Tiantian and Lil' White were tired after a day of playing, so Mother Ye sent them back to their room to sleep.
Not long later, Ye Rong, who was in pajamas, sat down beside Ye Zichen.
"Zichen, tell mom, is that girl called Xiao Yumei…"
What was coming finally came. Ye Zichen licked his lips and nodded without denying anything.
"Then what about that child Su Yan? I can tell that she also likes you a lot."
"I know."
"What do you want to do? Which one of the two are you going to give up?"
Ye Zichen hesitated for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Mom, if I tell you that I don't want to give up on either of them, would you think that your son is very scummy?"
"How could I? You're my son, how could a mother speak ill about her son?" Ye Rong caressed Ye Zichen's hair. "I'm just worried. Both Xiao Yumei and Su Yan are good girls. They shouldn't know about each other's existences, right?"
Ye Zichen shook his head.
"I knew it was like this," Mother Ye sighed. "You're grown up now, so mom wouldn't manage you so much. But just one thing, don't betray the feelings these two children have towards you. Don't be like your dad…"
"What about my dad?"
Ye Zichen turned his head in shock. Mother Ye quickly stopped herself and stood up from the sofa.
"I'm worried about Tiantian being alone in the room. I'm going back. You should get some rest."
"Mom, about my dad…"
Bang.
What he got in response was the merciless sound of a door closing.
Ye Zichen sat down on the sofa limply and lit a cigarette for himself.
Ye Zichen had never known who his father was. He has always been brought up by his mother, and he also used his mother's surname.
So many years had passed, his desire to know who his father is had already decreased.
Despite that, Mother Ye's sentence just now did attract Ye Zichen's attention.
Ye Zichen thought back to his mother's tone and what she said before and after it.
Did that man betray his mom?
Crack.
Thinking that, Ye Zichen's fist couldn't help but clench.
If it really was like this, he will definitely make that man pay.
Three days later.
"Hai-ge, there is no need to make it so grand, right?"
Ye Zichen couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at the brand new Porsche 918 parked beside him.
A while ago, he had casually mentioned to Xiao Hai that he will go to a reunion with Su Yan, and it seems like there was going to be rich people there, so he wanted to borrow a car.
However, Xiao Hai directly brought the 918 back to him without saying anything.
"What do you mean, grand? Wasn't this originally your car? The 4S store told me to retrieve it a while ago, I just never got around to doing it."
Xiao Hai laughed.
"There's no need to drive the 918, right? It's too high profile. You have so many cars, it's fine if you lend me an Audi or BMW."
Ye Zichen smiled wryly.
However, Xiao Hai scolded in frustration, "Too young! Too naïve! Do you think that a reunion is just a gathering of old classmates to chit chat? Why do the classmates gather? Basically, it's just for the amazing ones to show off in front of the others, and for the others to act like grandsons in front of the amazing ones in order to get into contact with them."
"Although you're not Su Yan's classmate, don't forget your identity. You're her boyfriend. Young Mistress Su Yan is Old Man Su's darling, if you seem too stingy, wouldn't that lose face for Young Mistress Su?"
Xiao Hai instructed him like someone who has experienced all this. Ye Zichen sighed and wanted to tell Hai-ge some truth.
But when he saw the other person's passionate look, he stopped himself.
"Alright, I understand."
"I knew that you brat would get it after I mention it."
Xiao Hai laughed and patted Ye Zichen's shoulders. He seemed as excited as it was him going to a reunion.
Ye Zichen could only smile wryly.
So what if he drove a 918? The car can't be driven into the room, who knows whose it is!
