Chapter 298 Likes Cleanliness
When Cheng Shuyan saw the two, he frowned, stopped in his tracks, and subconsciously reached out to protect Yunzhi behind him. His icy gaze fell on the two of them. He looked at the intruders with the vigilance of a lion whose territory had been invaded.
Before Yunzhi could even see who was walking towards her, Cheng Shuyan pulled her behind him. She was stunned for a moment, then curiously peeked out. When she saw who it was, she almost couldn't help but sneer. Ye Chengyan and Yu Baisu were standing side by side about two meters away from them.
Ye Chengyan was carrying an exquisite gift box. The familiar logo on the packaging made Yunzhi immediately recognize it as the logo of a jewelry customization studio in China known for its flamboyant designs. Yu Baisu had liked this design style in her previous life, but Yunzhi just couldn't appreciate it.
Her amused gaze shifted from Ye Chengyan to Yu Baisu. She had to admit that Yu Baisu had used all her little tricks on her, both in the previous life and this one.
Yu Baisu lowered her eyes, concealing the jealousy and hatred in them.
She had finally managed to smooth things over by making the emergency call, and thought that was the end of it. But Ye Chengyan insisted on bringing her over to apologize to Yunzhi.
What makes Yunzhi, that bitch, so special? Besides having a better background, what else does she have that I don't? If her family hadn't gone bankrupt and she hadn't been abandoned by that man, how could I have come back in such a sorry state? Ye Chengyan is the best person I can hold onto right now.
"Where are you going!" Ye Chengyan's gaze fell on the hand that Yunzhi was tightly gripping Cheng Shuyan's arm. His face darkened, and the question slipped out. His self-righteous attitude made it seem as if he were a husband who had caught his wife cheating.
For a moment, Yunzhi wondered if she was from a previous life, otherwise why would Ye Chengyan question her so confidently?
"This shouldn't concern you much," Yun Zhi sneered, stepping out from behind Cheng Shuyan, arms crossed, head tilted as she looked at him. "What gives President Ye the right to ask this question?"
It's really funny.
Is it his place as an outsider to question him?
Fortunately, Ye Chengyan couldn't hear Yunzhi's inner thoughts, otherwise he might have fainted from anger. Ye Chengyan's face became even uglier, and at the same time, a feeling of panic welled up inside him. It seemed that Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan's relationship had become even closer after not seeing each other for a while.
Although the two of them had an ambiguous relationship, Ye Chengyan, being an experienced person, could tell at a glance that there was still a layer of unspoken understanding between them. But now, Ye Chengyan was horrified to discover that this layer of understanding seemed to have been broken.
Was he late...? No, he couldn't be.
Thinking about his dreams during this period, Ye Chengyan believed that they were a warning from heaven. Yunzhi was his destined wife, and no one could change that. With this in mind, Ye Chengyan calmed down a bit.
He stepped forward, ignoring Cheng Shuyan's warning gaze, and walked up to Yunzhi. Just as he was greedily taking in every inch of Yunzhi with his eyes, Cheng Shuyan reached out and separated him from Yunzhi by a certain distance.
Yunzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly. The disgusting, sticky feeling of being stared at by a cold-blooded animal still made her want to vomit whenever she thought about it.
Ye Chengyan clicked his tongue softly, but because the sound was too soft, Cheng Shuyan and Yunzhi didn't hear it. He glanced at Cheng Shuyan with disgust, thinking how this person was such a clingy pest, so annoying.
Cheng Shuyan wouldn't think he's a protector of a flower, would he?
“Zhizhi, I’m sorry. I came to see you. I’m relieved to know you’re alright. You probably already know that I was at the scene of the car accident last time, but…” Ye Chengyan gave a bitter smile, “but when I saw you in the accident, my mind went blank and I couldn’t react to anything. I almost made you miss the best time for rescue. Fortunately, I wasn’t the only one there.”
This was the explanation Ye Chengyan had been racking his brains to come up with these past few days. He was so terrified in that situation that he didn't participate in the rescue immediately, which was perfectly normal, wasn't it?
Too slow to react? Missed the rescue window?
Does Ye Chengyan think he's a fool?
Perhaps in Ye Chengyan's eyes, the words "great vengeful seed" were etched on her forehead.
"Oh." Yunzhi replied with a single word, devoid of any emotion, and then Ye Chengyan's expression cracked at a visible speed.
Oh? He said so much, and Yunzhi only replied with an "oh"?
Does Yunzhi believe in herself or not?
"Mr. Ye, I'll say it again, you don't need to explain to me. After all, we're not related, and it's your right whether you save me or not. You don't need to come here and tell me all this." He had ruined her good mood for nothing. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
As Yunzhi spoke, she pulled Cheng Shuyan and prepared to leave.
Cheng Shuyan let Yunzhi do as she pleased, and as she walked past Ye Chengyan, she looked down at him with a cold gaze, as if Ye Chengyan were a disgusting rat in the sewer.
Since Ye Chengyan inherited the Ye Group and, through his own abilities, propelled it to become the leading company in Shanghai's real estate industry, no one has dared to look at him with such eyes. If anyone else dared to look at him like that, he would have their eyes gouged out. And that person happened to be Cheng Shuyan.
This rat, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, not only used those underhanded methods to take half of his territory, but also tried to steal his beloved. When Ye Chengyan thought of this, his mind went blank, as if something had exploded.
Ye Chengyan's body reacted before his mind, grabbing Yunzhi's wrist.
Yunzhi shivered, trying to shake off his hand while suppressing her nausea, but her strength was no match for Ye Chengyan's. She tried several times without success. Finally, Cheng Shuyan grabbed Ye Chengyan's arm and looked at him coldly, "What do you want to do?"
"President Cheng, I'd like to ask you what you're planning. Zhizhi is a free person now, so we can all compete fairly based on our own abilities, right?" Ye Chengyan said in a cold tone.
"Each relying on their own abilities? Fair competition?" Cheng Shuyan scoffed as if he had heard a huge joke. He glanced at the woman who was bowing her head and whose expression was not visible. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, you've probably been out of the running with Zhizhi for a long time. Don't you know that Zhizhi likes clean men?"
As Cheng Shuyan spoke, he slightly raised his chin, looking at Ye Chengyan with the smug look of a final victor.
Ye Chengyan's face turned pale and then red.
