"Yuxuan doesn't think he's happy at all! You know very well that he hates sweet things the most!" Su Yuncao said with a smile, while packing pastries for Yiren to take home.
"He doesn't know how lucky he is!" After taking the last bite of the crispy Napoleon cake, Yiren took a big sip of juice and asked, "Is that Miss Tang your niece?"
"Yes! Haven't you met her many times?" Su Yuncao, who didn't know that Yiren had lost part of her memory, brought another piece of cake to Yiren and said.
"Auntie, how do you know that I send flowers to Miss Tang every day?" Yiren asked in surprise.
"Why are you sending flowers to Tang Lei?" Su Yuncao looked at Yiren and asked in confusion.
"I work in a flower shop! Someone ordered flowers for Miss Tang for ten months, and I have to send them every day. Her husband is so nice to her," Yiren took another sip of juice and said with a smile.
"Tang Lei isn't married yet," Su Yuncao said.
"Ah? —— Then whose child is in her belly?" Yiren asked in surprise. Miss Tang isn't married, but she's been pregnant for several months already. Does she want to be an unwed mother?
"I don't know whose it is either. Tang Lei has always refused to say! She used to be very lively, but now she's become introverted," Su Yuncao sighed and said. "Yuxuan will be back soon. Stay for dinner. I'll make your favorite braised fish and sweet and sour spare ribs!"
"Okay!" Yiren said happily.
There were only four people at the dining table, Su Yuncao, Cheng Yuxuan, Ye Se, and Yiren, so the atmosphere was very relaxed. Cheng Zongyi had gone abroad to negotiate a project and wasn't at home for the time being.
"I want this piece!" Yiren and Cheng Yuxuan simultaneously picked up the same piece of sweet and sour spare ribs. Yiren stared at him and said, just like when they used to fight over food in the past.
"I always let you have it. You should let me have it just once," Cheng Yuxuan said, acting like a child.
"No, I want this piece!" Yiren still didn't let go.
"Yuxuan, let go. How can you fight with Yiren? You're a man," Su Yuncao tapped Cheng Yuxuan's hand with her chopsticks and scolded.
Watching Cheng Yuxuan withdraw his hand in pain, Yiren triumphantly picked up the spare rib, not putting it into her own bowl, but into Ye Se's bowl.
"Ye Se, this is the spare rib I fought for you," Yiren said to Ye Se, then looked at the depressed Cheng Yuxuan with a triumphant expression.
"Thank you!" Ye Se, who had been surprised to see Cheng Yuxuan and Yiren fighting over the spare rib, was now even more at a loss.
"Actually, this spare rib was what Yuxuan wanted to fight for you. Sorry, I'm giving it to you on his behalf," Yiren added with a smile. She always felt that Cheng Yuxuan's attitude towards Ye Se was rather ambiguous, which made her, an outsider, feel quite annoyed.
"Ye Se, I'll send Yiren back first and then send you back later," Cheng Yuxuan said to Ye Se.
"No need. You can send Ye Se back directly. I can take a taxi," Yiren said before Ye Se could reply.
"It's so late. I'll send you back. I'm not放心 if you take a taxi. Let's go," Cheng Yuxuan said and walked out of the house first.
"Then I'll go back first. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Yiren walked out of the Cheng family's house and got into Cheng Yuxuan's sports car.
"Aren't you afraid that Ye Se will think too much if you do this?" Yiren said while fastening her seat belt.
"She won't," Cheng Yuxuan started the car and said indifferently.
Ye Se knew very well about his feelings, so no matter what he did to Yiren, she would understand. This was also an important reason why he chose her as his girlfriend.
"I just found out today that Tang Lei is actually your cousin," Yiren said, looking ahead.
"Squeak ——" The car braked suddenly, making a harsh sound.
"Yiren, have you remembered something?" Cheng Yuxuan turned to ask Yiren, his eyes revealing a hint of unease.
"I haven't remembered anything, but you really scared me just now! Why did you brake suddenly?" Yiren said with a lingering fear. Fortunately, she had remembered to fasten her seat belt just now, otherwise she would have crashed into the windshield directly. "I just mentioned your cousin. Why are you so nervous?"
"Nothing," Cheng Yuxuan avoided Yiren's eyes and restarted the car.
During the whole journey, they didn't say anything more. Until they reached the Ji Family Garden, before getting out of the car, Yiren said to Cheng Yuxuan,
"I always feel that you guys are hiding something from me."
"Nothing," Cheng Yuxuan said.
"If I find out that you're hiding something from me, I'll bite you for sure!" Yiren threatened. "Go back and pick up Ye Se early. I won't keep you here. Drive slowly on the way back and pay attention to safety!"
After saying that, Yiren opened the car door and got out.
Watching Cheng Yuxuan's car leave the Ji Family Garden, Yiren turned around and entered the house. She saw Ji Minze sitting in the living room, waiting for her.
"Honey! You were waiting for me," Yiren said to Ji Minze with a bit of apology.
"You hadn't come back yet, so of course I had to wait for you," Ji Minze smiled and gently brushed aside the hair that had fallen in front of Yiren's face. "Did Yuxuan send you back? Why didn't he come in and sit for a while?"
"He still had to go pick up Ye Se, so I asked him to go back first. How did your business dinner with the client go tonight?" Yiren asked. Ji Minze had a business dinner tonight, which was also the reason why she didn't ask him to pick her up.
"Quite smoothly."
"You're the best, honey!" Yiren said, blushing a bit. Then she stepped forward and put her arms around Ji Minze's neck and kissed him. Immediately, she said, "I'm going to take a shower first. Do you want to go up with me?"
"I've already taken a shower. You go ahead," Ji Minze said with a smile.
"What a disappointment. I was hoping to take a鸳鸯浴," Yiren said, then rushed towards the stairs, leaving Ji Minze smiling behind her.
She has the desire but not the courage. She says it, but when it comes to actually doing it, she chickens out!
The most heart-wrenching distance in the world is when two people were originally far apart and didn't know each other. Suddenly one day, they met, fell in love, and the distance became very close. Then one day, they no longer loved each other. The two people who were originally very close became far apart, even farther than before. —— Zhang Xiaoxian
