Chapter 355 Surprise (Cheng Yubai)

Both the choices at the beginning and the questions at the end were very tricky.

Shen Zhaoyi had absolutely no idea how to answer.

Because she really craves it.

But if you really want to know the exact time, who can say for sure?

"Why don't you ask about something else..." Shen Zhaoyi's confidence was clearly lacking when she said this.

Cheng Yubai thought about it carefully for a moment, then dropped a new bombshell—

"So, am I considered a fifth or sixth grader now?"

"Stop using that same excuse. You've kissed me, you've touched me, we've been completely honest with each other. You can't just shirk responsibility, can you?"

Shen Zhaoyi finally understood; it turned out that today was for settling scores.

Moreover, it seemed to be a case of coercion and pressure.

"You really want to squeeze into this house?"

"I don't want to," Cheng Yubai said firmly, "but what can I do? You're just too charming."

What was said that night was indeed hurtful enough, but it also made a lot of sense.

Throughout the entire process, Shen Zhaoyi never gave a direct response; all her initiative stemmed from herself.

He went back and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find a single question about how to end the relationship.

Realizing this, Cheng Yubai was certain that he was truly in love.

But his innate pride prevented him from sharing with others, which is quite puzzling, let alone experiencing it firsthand.

Later, I asked Mumu out for drinks to ask her what her mindset was when she agreed to the arrangement.

Cheng Yubai still remembers his answer:
“Because I like it.”

"Because she is dazzling enough."

"As for face, if you can lose it when you enter a relationship, then it really doesn't need to exist."

"Besides, if you miss this opportunity, the people you meet in the future will not be Shen Zhaoyi. Don't let her name become your regret."

A simple yet profound truth successfully moved Cheng Yubai.

Indeed, his pride and face-saving are simply things he takes too seriously.

Shen Zhaoyi treated everyone equally and did not show favoritism to anyone based on who arrived first.

Being affectionate is the best form of indifference.

With the intention of not having any regrets, Cheng Yubai suddenly came to his door a couple of days ago, intending to have a talk, but after waiting for half a day, he brought back two drunkards.

But it was this opportunity that allowed him to glimpse the desire Shen Zhaoyi had for him.

It seems that the previous efforts were not without reward; at the very least, the chances of success have increased.

Seeing that the person involved still hadn't responded, he urged, "I've already backed down to this point, so give me a straight answer!"

Shen Zhaoyi didn't rush to agree, but instead asked him if he had thought clearly about his role in the game.

"You just want me to stop making other people unhappy, why make it sound so official?" Cheng Yubai reached out and pulled him into his arms. "You have to understand, all my exclusionary behavior stems from my possessiveness of you, including jealousy, which is human instinct."

To truly achieve a state of being without desires or wants, frankly speaking, means being devoid of emotions.

Cheng Yubai wouldn't dare say how loving he is now, but at the very least, he considers Shen Zhaoyi in everything he does.

As for how far things will go in the future, that's all unknown. He just wants an opportunity to continue developing in the present, in today.

"So, Ms. Shen, could you please give a positive response?"

“Okay, let’s, no, let’s make a good life together. No, I’ll grab my clothes and go back to work to focus on your investment.”

After Cheng Yubai spoke, a hint of nervousness crept into his usually relaxed expression.

Shen Zhaoyi looked at his unconsciously furrowed brows and reached out to smooth them.

"What, if I agree, you're going to go on strike?" "I don't have that..." Cheng Yubai realized, "You agreed?"

Shen Zhaoyi smiled but remained silent.

How could I disagree? They've already said it so bluntly.

She knew this was the biggest concession Cheng Yubai could make; at least, the superficial harmony of the family was barely maintained.

The objective was achieved, and the fifth teammate was successfully matched.

Cheng Yubai was somewhat resentful about being relegated two places from the third child in the family.

"Please stop obsessing over the serial numbers, I'm begging you." Shen Zhaoyi was genuinely afraid that in the future, when everyone got together, this person would just keep shouting out a string of numbers.

Everything else is fine, but given Qiu Yu's personality, she'd definitely start a fight if she heard the term "mistress."

"Beg me?" Cheng Yubai leaned closer, his gaze shifting from its previous gentleness to a dangerous glint.

"Then you should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Having finally secured his position, he was preoccupied with how to catch up with those ahead of him.

There's no time like the present, let's strike while the iron is hot and take it all in one fell swoop!
He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Instead of his usual fierce attacks, Cheng Yubai pecked slowly, as if expressing his longing over the past few days and the preciousness of what he had finally obtained.

Shen Zhaoyi was still a little unaccustomed to his sudden change.

I raised my hand to deepen the kiss, and the temperature in the air gradually rose.

Without the obstructive glasses, the following actions became much easier.

Cheng Yubai continued downwards, starting to probe along the neck, his hands becoming increasingly restless.

Just as she touched her waist, Shen Zhaoyi's phone notification sound dispelled much of the romantic atmosphere.

It's a signal that dinner is about to be served downstairs.

She tilted her head back and pushed the person in front of her away, saying, "Let's go, it's time to eat."

“I’m eating right now.” Cheng Yubai didn’t let go.

Shen Zhaoyi, who hadn't eaten since waking up, clearly refused to eat.

"I didn't eat breakfast, don't push your luck."

Warnings are more effective. Cheng Yubai immediately looked up, his face showing displeasure as he straightened her clothes, and then led her downstairs.

Xu Meng, with her keen eyes, quickly noticed that the atmosphere between the two had changed.

Has she really succeeded in taking over this time?
After the meal, the interrupted business was never resumed.

Zhou Yi received another call saying that someone was looking for Shen Zhaoyi at the door, but the person was unwilling to reveal their name.

"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Cheng Yubai now sees everyone as a third wheel, so his words are naturally not very polite.

Before the shuttle bus could even be seen, the sound came from outside.

"sister in law!"

"Surprise!"

Qiu Ze's loud voice startled everyone in the room.

Shen Zhaoyi looked at his two suitcases, each half her height, and asked uncertainly, "Did you come alone?"

"correct."

Does your brother know?

"I know, he even bought the tickets." Qiu Ze was about to show off the black card he had extorted from him when he noticed that there was a man with a gloomy face standing next to his sister-in-law.

She looks alright, especially with her youthful outfit today.

"Sister-in-law, is he your younger brother?"
