Chapter 278 Oh, the wound on your forehead hasn't healed yet.
But Han Ziyang is not good at everything.

One of the windows that God closed for him was his capacity for alcohol.

He said he would go and make his move, but after two drinks, he started to feel dizzy. Fortunately, by sheer luck, he managed to leave the table.

I washed my face before going back to the bedroom, and my mind became much clearer.

Looking at the chat interface that had been interrupted with Shen Zhaoyi, Han Ziyang put on his headphones and made a video call.

Unfortunately, the call was cut off by a "the other party is busy" notification.

This signal made him realize that when he was free, someone else would take his place. Look, in just a short while, he didn't know who had gained the right to chat online.

Su Ye, who was exchanging "confessions" with Shen Zhaoyi at this moment, felt his ears getting hot.

He attributed this unusual behavior to his inability to lie.

Currently, the two have agreed on the process from getting to know each other to confessing their feelings.

The reason it was so complicated was because Su Ye was worried that his parents wouldn't be able to accept the fact that their son was "living off his wife."

"I think it's better to be flexible and adaptable when the time comes than to make so many preparations," Shen Zhaoyi offered a fair assessment.

Of course, another reason is that if she has to remember so much, her brain won't be able to process it all, and there's a risk of her making a mistake.

Besides, being a kept man is a skill in itself.

“Zhaoyi…” On the other end of the phone, Su Ye smiled indulgently, “The older generation’s thinking is different from ours.”

Born in a place that favors sons over daughters, and with other customs, the reason he's only now being subtly pressured to develop a romantic relationship is because of what happened in college.

We're practically jumping around in a minefield now.

If another bombshell drops, Su Ye worries that her parents won't be able to accept it.

Let's do a little white lie instead.

Seeing that Shen Zhaoyi was starting to frown, he softened his tone and pleaded, "Please, just this once."

"I promise you, this will never happen again."

"I'm the one who caused you trouble."

With her gentle eyes and perfectly timed show of weakness, Shen, the tyrant, was instantly captivated.

Sigh, let's just consider this a preparation for a happy life in the future.

However, this process was never fully completed.

She got up early to go to the hospital during the day, and then Pei Yan dragged her around to several car dealerships. Listening to Su Ye's voice, her eyelids started to droop after a while.

I went to bed earlier than usual today.

Those who had company didn't feel anything, but the others suffered.

Especially Cheng Yubai.

After returning from the hospital, Director Zhao relayed the shady dealings he had witnessed that day to his superiors. He was unaware that Shen Zhaoyi was developing multiple romantic relationships simultaneously, and was only worried that someone might get ahead of her.

"Xiao Bai, Miss Shen is beautiful and generous. You need to work harder."

He spoke with the air of someone who had been there all along, his words filled with expectations for the younger generation.

What a joke! With Shen Zhaoyi's terrifying wealth, if he weren't so old, Zhao Yide would love to take her place himself.

In this way, not only can we conduct subsequent experiments, but we could also conduct several more scientific research projects in our lifetime.

Cheng Yubai simply smiled at this.

Mumu's existence doesn't pose much of a threat; at most, she's just a pitiful little thing who's encountered a family tragedy.

Shen Zhaoyi is extremely soft-hearted, so at most, her current actions are driven by sympathy.

So, there's no need to rush.

Sufficient patience is the most important thing in this game.

Thinking he had seen through everything, he went to Douyin (TikTok) and watched videos about the "60-year-old woman" to catch up on his knowledge.

Han Ziyang, who missed his chance, was already so carefree that he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

I wasn't woken up until noon the next day, still half asleep.

As usual, she sent a morning greeting on WeChat, but Shen Zhaoyi was busy being a referee and didn't have time to check her phone. Who would have thought that Pei Yan and Cheng Yubai would both arrive at the villa today?

More than a month later, when they met again, the atmosphere was still tense.

"Hey, the wound on your forehead still hasn't healed?"

Pretending not to notice it was a fresh wound, Cheng Yubai's eyes were full of amusement.

Pei Yan snorted coldly, "None of your business!"

Xu Meng stood awkwardly at the door.

To be honest, she would warmly welcome anyone who came alone.

But the current situation is clearly not good.

If a fight breaks out in the living room, wouldn't I have to take responsibility?
Instead of stepping aside as usual, he wore his signature smile and politely advised, "Zhaoyi hasn't woken up yet, why don't you come back later?"

These words are, in effect, a disguised invitation to leave.

But these two today are shameless.

Cheng Yubai opened the other side of the door as if he were in his own home, saying, "It's okay, I can wait inside."

"It saves us from having to make another trip."

The tall figure glanced at Pei Yan as he passed by.

Not to be outdone, the latter squeezed in through a gap in Xu Meng's side.

The goalkeeper, having failed to defend both ends, chose to go back to the house to get reinforcements.

First, he asked the housekeepers to pour him some hot water, then he slipped up to the third floor and gently knocked on Shen Zhaoyi's bedroom door.

It was too early, so she had to come herself to warn people.

Unfortunately, Pei Yan and Cheng Yubai both had the right to go upstairs.

Don't let the two brothers run into each other in bed if you're not careful.

"Knock knock."

The two noises did not wake the people sleeping inside the house.

After waiting a while longer, Xu Meng gritted her teeth and pressed the doorknob.

The room was pitch black, and the blackout curtains were absolutely necessary.

Relying on her sense of direction from tidying up the house, she was about to take out her phone to turn on the brightness when she heard a "sizzling" sound.

It was a call from Su Ye that hadn't yet hung up.

Xu Meng paused, amazed. Good heavens, the boss and his wife even sleep together via video call every night.

I bumped into something.

However, this meant she couldn't explain the situation downstairs.

In front of the acknowledged first wife, any mention of a member of the opposite sex at this time is considered a provocation.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Meng went back out along the route she had come in. When she closed the door, she pulled down the inner lock to ensure the peace and quiet of the Shen family's backyard early in the morning.

They even remembered to send a few reminders on WeChat.

Having done all this, she kept her accomplishments hidden and prepared to return to the kitchen.

As I passed the side door of the living room, I seemed to catch a glimpse of the tycoon's cage being opened.
Fearing being caught up in the undercurrent between the two men, she thought about it and decided not to go forward.

"Xiaomeng, should we leave some breakfast for those two outside too?" Aunt Liu asked with a worried look as soon as she came in.

My employer is great in every way, but these friends of mine never give me a heads-up before they come.

This meal is so complicated, I really don't know what procedure to follow.

Making food and not eating it is a waste, but not making it and then not eating it is not enough.

Xu Meng thought, "Let's do it."

Even if the two of them had eaten breakfast, they would probably have to empty half their stomachs to have a little competition at the dinner table later.

When it comes to vying for favor, gender doesn't matter.
