Chapter 346 The Tank Top (Cheng Yubai)
Was I being teased?
Realizing this, Cheng Yubai looked at Shen Zhaoyi, who was already asleep, and felt both amused and exasperated.

I thought I had finally gotten what I wanted, but I never expected it to end in this way.

But it's probably for the best. After all, we don't know what state she'll be in when she sobers up. If she blacks out, that would be really bad.

Because it's impossible to explain who is in control.

As Cheng Yubai buttoned his clothes back up, Shen Zhaoyi's words from earlier flashed through his mind.

"A tank top?"

He muttered those three words to himself, then looked down again, as if he knew why his previous methods hadn't worked.

So, Shen Zhaoyi likes something else entirely.

The air conditioning was on inside. After covering the person with a blanket, Cheng Yubai took the remaining half bowl of soup out.

However, before leaving, he deliberately left his vest on the bedside table.

I had no interest in checking on Mumu in the next room, so I went straight downstairs.

"Dr. Cheng, are you getting ready to leave?" Xu Meng saw him in the living room, came over and took the bowl from him, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Honestly, this person's actions are completely unpredictable.

I went to their door early in the morning, but there was no contact whatsoever. I just sat there until the afternoon.

As a result, when Shen Zhaoyi, who was drunk, finished taking care of the person, she showed no emotion and was about to leave.

Cheng Yubai didn't say anything, just nodded at her, and then went out to drive.

Xu Meng watched the other person leave, puzzled, feeling that something was amiss.

Since they went out for drinks not long after lunch and returned at only three o'clock, Pei Yan assumed the two were still talking to Xu Wei and were unusually well-behaved for the entire afternoon.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that I belatedly realized I might have been forgotten.

It was this realization that led him to call Shen Zhaoyi.

The bell rang, finally waking the person who was still asleep.

"Hey?"

"Who?"

Shen Zhaoyi didn't look at the caller ID; she simply pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear, her mind still processing the information.

"Who am I?" Pei Yan was so angry at her tone that he laughed. "What, have you lost your memory after not seeing you for so long?"

With that unique voice and that incredibly rude and irreverent reply, Shen Zhaoyi finally got the call going.

"Pei Yan?"

"Oh, you remembered again?"

"Stop being sarcastic." Shen Zhaoyi didn't want to argue with him about anything else. She thought he was going to ask about Xu Wei. She rubbed her slightly aching temples and was about to suggest that they talk about it again when she was more awake tomorrow.

But when Pei Yan learned that he had spent the afternoon drinking and sleeping, he felt even more uneasy.

"No, Shen Zhaoyi, how could you do this!"

"We agreed to go back to the team..."

He finally made up his mind to confront them, but the person in question never even showed up.

If I wait until next time to prepare myself mentally, who knows how long that will take?

Shen Zhaoyi did not explain the reason, but only asked him what impact it would have on whether she returned to the caravan or not.
“If it’s really urgent, you can say it over the phone now, it’s the same.”

"How can I say something like this over the phone?" Pei Yan said, feeling both shy and nervous.

Shen Zhaoyi thought for a moment and offered another solution:
"Then I'll go there first thing tomorrow morning. You can come to Xiaoyuan's office when you have time, and we can talk in person."

"Ah, ah?" Pei Yan began to stammer, "This...so fast...?"

Nothing worked, nothing worked, Shen Zhaoyi was truly at her wit's end.

So he simply let Pei Yan find time to come to his house and talk.

Having received permission, the man who had been so aggressive and ready to demand an explanation had given up.

At that moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to bring it up, when would be a good day to go, and how he should approach the door when they met. Only after the call ended did Pei Yan realize he'd forgotten to ask Xu Wei how things were going.

Awakened, Shen Zhaoyi turned on the bedside lamp, sat up, stared at the extra vest next to her, and began searching her memories.

Eat barbecue skewers, drink alcohol, go home, go upstairs...

Then there's Cheng Yubai.

"No way!"

Fragments of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Shen Zhaoyi pieced together a rough outline.

It seems like I was the one who made him take off these clothes.

But where are they now?
I rushed downstairs and found Xu Meng in the living room, taking photos of the day's business for the wealthy man.

"Zhaoyi, you're awake!"

"Does your head hurt? There's still some hangover soup left. I'll heat it up for you, and you can have some more."

"No need." Shen Zhaoyi looked around and then asked, "Where's Cheng Yubai?"

"Let's go."

Xu Meng looked at her boss with confusion. He had been indifferent before, so why was he asking about Dr. Cheng today?

Shen Zhaoyi opened WeChat, and their chat history was still from a few days ago.

Since I stormed off, we haven't been in contact at all.

So, did he suddenly come to our door today to sever ties, or is he planning to continue?

Various possibilities flashed through Shen Zhaoyi's mind. She looked at Xu Meng, even more curious about when this person had arrived.

"He arrived not long after you left this morning."

“I originally advised him to contact you directly, but he refused, saying he was willing to wait.”

"After lunch, not long after, you and Mumu came back, both completely drunk, and Dr. Cheng had to take care of them."

Xu Meng summarized everything in a few words, choosing the shortest possible phrases.

Shen Zhaoyi knew that Cheng Yubai had never acted according to principles, and waiting a day was indeed something he was capable of doing.

As for Mumu...

"Is he at our house too?"

"Yes, I'm here." Xu Meng pointed upstairs. "I'm sleeping next door to you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaoyi immediately guessed that it was Cheng Yubai's idea.

The image of him taking off his clothes flashed through my mind again, along with that kind reminder. Now, I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Why did you have to say something for no reason?
Shen Zhaoyi had a premonition that Cheng Yubai would use the phrase "vest" to tease her from time to time in their future interactions.

He's capable of doing something like that.

Xu Meng observed her boss's expression, hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to point out the mistake she made at work today.

“I originally wanted to stay and take care of you, but Dr. Cheng took on all the work and I couldn’t help at all.”

"Zhaoyi, just deduct my salary!"

Actually, the reason why the nanny trusted Cheng Yubai was because he didn't see Shen Zhaoyi object at all after he went upstairs.

Secondly, it was because he had long been mistaken for one of the many bosses' husbands.

Therefore, it's only natural to feel that there's nothing wrong with this kind of thing.

Shen Zhaoyi also guessed Xu Meng's thoughts.

“It’s not a bad thing that Cheng Yubai is willing to help you with your work.”

"Next time this happens, you can keep an eye on him for a bit, so that he's not, uh, not too inexperienced."
