"Why did you drink so much?"
When Xiao Yumei smelled the alcohol on Ye Zichen, she specifically brewed a pot of tea for him.
Ye Zichen, who was leaning back on the sofa, moved his neck, "My friends just got discharged from the hospital, so we celebrated together."
As he replied, he noticed the pile of files on Xiao Yumei's work table, causing him to raise his eyebrows, "Are you busy?"
"Yeah, isn't Bai Dahai's jewelry shop under your name now? You didn't look at any of the accounts and are fine with being a free owner, so could I not manage it?"
Ye Zichen grabbed her hands and smiled when he felt the annoyance in Xiao Yumei's tone, "You've worked hard."
"You know that I worked hard?" Xiao Yumei rolled her eyes at Ye Zichen, then sat down beside him with a frown. "When I was going through Bai Dahai's accounts then, I kept on feeling something amiss, but I don't know what's wrong with it."
That didn't surprise Ye Zichen at all.
"Ignore it. Bai Dahai definitely has some sort of trap for us. Let's just wait for him to reveal himself."
"You sure?" Xiao Yumei said worriedly. "Finance is not a small issue. If he was allowed to do anything he wants, then the future will be troublesome."
"Is that so?"
Ye Zichen didn't understand business at all, so he thought about it and called Xiao Hai.
"Lil' Ye, how did you get time to call Hai-ge? Say it, what's is it now?"
The clear laughter from the other side of the phone caused Ye Zichen to blush. He felt a bit embarrassed that he would go and find Xiao Hai whenever there is trouble.
"Hai-ge, I did have something I wanted to trouble you with."
"Go on."
"I acquired fifty one percent of the shares of Bai Dahai's jewelry store, but I feel like he set a trap for me, so I want Hai-ge to help me investigate."
"Bai Dahai? Sure, just leave it to me."
"Then I'll be trouble Hai-ge."
"No worries."
Ye Zichen hung up and gaze Xiao Yumei a reassuring look, "It's done. If it's Hai-ge, then he can definitely find something."
"Little fellow, you know quite a bit of people," Xiao Yumei smiled
Ye Zichen instantly smiled naughtily, "Am I little?"
"Are you not little?" Xiao Yumei also replied playfully.
"Hehe, it seems like you are starting to forget after not seeing it for so long. I have to help you remember," With that, Ye Zichen picked up Xiao Yumei and put her onto the office table as she exclaimed.
"Don't, this is the company."
"So what? It's exciting because it's at the company. What's more, would they dare to enter without your assent?" Ye Zichen smiled, then kissed her.
When he left Xiao Yumei's company, it was already night time. Since Xiao Hai was investigating Bai Dahai's side, there was nothing to worry about.
Ye Zichen started to get mesmerized as he walked on the sidewalk and looked at the scenery.
At that moment, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Hello?"
"Ye Zichen? I'm Lin Xiyue."
…
Ye Zichen and Lin Xiyue sat in a small room in a north-eastern restaurant.
"Officer Lin, there seems to be something wrong with you," Ye Zichen glanced over Officer Lin's body as he leaned back on the chair.
Officer Lin wore a white T-shirt a pair of blue jeans as well as a silver necklace around her neck, while her long hair flowed down to her shoulders. She had even put on a faint bit of makeup.
This was the first time he saw Officer Lin like this ever since they got to know each other.
"Do I look bad?" Lin Xiyue bit her lips.
Ye Zichen shook his head and praised her, "You look good, but I just find it weird."
"What's weird?"
"Our relationship seems…" Ye Zichen did not finish his sentence, and instead nodded. "I just feel like it's too weird that you are treating me to a meal and wore something like this."
Lin Xiyue rolled her eyes at Ye Zichen, "Don't think too much into it, I'm treating you to a meal purely because I want to thank you for saving me that day."
"I definitely won't think too much, but you just chose this sort of place to repay me for saving your life?" Ye Zichen twitched his mouth. This girl was too stingy.
"How much can I civil servant like me have?" Lin Xiyue bit her lips in a troubled manner.
Ye Zichen looked at her…
"…"
"What sort of look is that?"
"…"
"What exactly do you want to say!"
"…"
"Can you speak or not!" Lin Xiyue slammed down on the table, causing all the other customers in the shop to look towards her.
She blushed, then complained as she bit her lips, "Can you speak? What's this supposed to mean?"
"Speechlessness. Don't you get it?" Ye Zichen looked at her helplessly.
That caused Lin Xiyue to immediately get angry, "Why are you speechless?"
"…"
"Alright, I admit, treating you, a young master, to a place like this is a bit too low."
"It's not just a bit."
"Fine, the place I chose is too low-classed," Lin Xiyue clenched her teeth and snorted. "But I did save you once, if I didn't get there in time…"
"Hehe…"
"What are you hehe'ing for!"
Lin Xiyue was about to go mad from Ye Zichen's torture. Why did she not notice that he was actually someone like that.
Ye Zichen picked up a piece of red-cooked pork with his chopsticks and glanced at Lin Xiyue, who was on the verge of going insane.
"First of all, you didn't hurry there in time. Commissioner told you to go."
"…"
"What's more, if it wasn't for your boyfriend, do you think I would have ended up like that?"
"…"
This time, Lin Xiyue was speechless, because she couldn't argue against any of Ye Zichen's words.
Especially since Zhao Ziming told Liu Qiang to make a move on him.
"Sorry," Lin Xiyue buried her head with an apologetic look.
Ye Zichen sighed silently when he heard the sad tone, "Enough, don't apologize. Getting such a petty boyfriend isn't your fault. If you're going to blame, then blame the sins you've committed in your previous life."
"Ye Zichen…"
"Mhmm?"
"I really want to hit you."
Ye Zichen instantly laughed when he heard that.
"There are plenty of people that wants to hit me, just who the heck are you…"
The two of them finished the meal in chatter, then left the restaurant.
When they stood outside, Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows, "Officer Lin, any other orders?"
"Screw off, hurry up and screw off."
Lin Xiyue was enraged by Ye Zichen throughout the entire meal.
Ye Zichen smiled when he saw her annoyed look and blinked, "Then bye bye. You'd better not dream of me when you go back tonight, otherwise, you'll fall in love with me."
"Screw off!"
From the looks of it, if he didn't run, then he would get beaten.
Ye Zichen quickly shrunk his neck and ran.
When Ye Zichen's figure disappeared from sight…
Puchi.
Lin Xiyue, whose face was covered in rage, suddenly laughed!
The laugh was as extravagant as fireworks.
