Hiding her pregnant belly! The wicked ex-wife of the true young master has awakened.

He bought this when he went grocery shopping.

Jinzhi didn't take it, but instead took the black chopsticks that Ye Ran handed her.

"Are you afraid I'll dislike your house? Or do you not want me to eat and want to kick me out? I'm not that picky."

To be honest, Yang Jiamei and Ye Ran are both her relatives, so what is there to dislike about them?

Moreover, when she was a child, her parents were busy with work, and she often ate at the homes of other families while living at her maternal grandmother's house in the countryside.

Ye Yu moved his hand that was suspended in the air, retracted the chopsticks, and relaxed his straight back a little.

Jinzhi picked up a large mouthful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes without much expectation.

Even if it tastes good, it definitely can't compare to what her five-star chef makes.

After chewing twice, her clear eyes lit up.

Exceptionally delicious!

The chewing speed increases.

Ye Ran puffed out her cheeks proudly and asked, "Isn't it delicious? My brother's cooking skills were all taught by my mom, but he cooks even better than her. He could open a shop on his own without any problem."

Ye Yu, who was drinking soup with his head down, glanced at the person opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

Jinzhi grunted twice, putting some food into her mouth, "It's so-so, just edible."

Ye Ran refuted her: "It's obviously delicious, stop pretending. Your hands are practically smoking from holding it in your hands."

Jinzhi raised her hand and flicked him on the forehead. "No talking while eating or sleeping. Eat properly, understand?"

Ye Ran snorted.

After finishing her meal, Jinzhi sat on the sofa, sadly touching her slightly bulging belly.

I ate too much today; my carbohydrate intake is way too high.

Ye Yu was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Ye Ran was helping him.

After the two brothers finished washing the dishes, they heard Jinzhi calling from outside: "The appliance installer is here, someone come out and help."

"Brother, what kind of appliance?"

Ye Yu's expression was not good, and he wiped his hands.

"Never mind that, I'll go out and take a look."

Two workers could barely stand in the cramped living room, discussing how to install the television, air conditioner, and refrigerator.

Ye Yu said to them, "Sorry, we're not pretending. You've made a wasted trip."

He called Jinzhi aside and put on a stern face.

"Jinzhi, who gave you permission to invite them into my house? Did you get my consent?"

"You don't need to do this. Explain things to them and let them leave. Otherwise, I won't tutor you in advanced mathematics. You'll have to find someone else."

Jinzhi smiled and said, "What kind of threat is that? Besides, do you think I'm a philanthropist? I'm not that kind. I'd rather buy a new bag with that spare money."

"They are employees of my dad's friend's shop, which specializes in home appliances. Last month, they developed a new batch of products and needed a group of users to try them out for free."

"Don't think it's completely free. You have to cooperate with them to do user surveys and experiences, which is a lot of trouble. My friends are too lazy to do it."

"Take a look at this batch of home appliances. You've never seen them on the market before, have you? If you don't believe me, ask the manager."

The manager stepped forward at the opportune moment.

"Ms. Jin is right. Even if it's not a free trial for you, it's another company."

"In addition to cooperating with us on our monthly user experience review, you also need to fill in some data every week. The data must be accurate and you can't be late. You need to download our mobile app first, log in to your account and register your identity..."

The manager rambled on and on, but Ye Yu was completely confused and asked the manager a question.

As they asked questions, Jinzhi directed the workers to begin dismantling the old appliances and installing the new ones.

After Ye Yu finished asking, the old appliances had already been removed.

Jinzhi said, "It's not as easy as you think. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Take your time. It's getting late, I'm going home now."

He grabbed the car keys and left quickly, afraid that Ye Yu would catch up with him.

After descending the stairs and leaving the house, Jinzhi felt a pang of regret; she should have asked someone to come down with her.

As night fell, the dark alley was devoid of streetlights; the faint light emanated from the houses, offering a clear view of the stinking ditch beside the road and the swarms of mosquitoes and flies.

Jinzhi mentally prepared herself for a while, then turned on her phone's flashlight and slowly walked forward.

I took two steps and vaguely heard some noise behind me.

I turned my head and looked around, but there was no one there.

She hunched her shoulders and continued walking. Hearing the faint footsteps, the long, dark alley ahead made her feel even more insecure.

If a homeless person suddenly jumps out from the corner...

Jinzhi grew increasingly frightened, and started to run off, muttering, "...Ye Yu, that rude guy, not gentlemanly at all, he didn't even bother to see me off!"

On second thought, Ye Yu was too annoyed with her to even think about it.

Why should I give it to her?

Thinking this, Jinzhi ran even faster.

When I was running and struggling to breathe, a deep, clear male voice came from behind me.

"Jinzhi, it's me. Don't run away. There's a trash can to your left. Don't bump into it."

It was Ye Yu's voice.

Jinzhi stopped, panting, and said, "Ye Yu, you did this on purpose! You were clearly following me, but you didn't say anything, just trying to scare me!"

Ye Yu turned on the high-powered flashlight.

A beam of light shone at the entrance of the alley.

Before him stood light, yet he stood silently in darkness, his tall, upright figure and dark, bright eyes the only visible features.

Jinzhi's wildly beating heart, bathed in light, strangely calmed down.

Ye Yu walked towards her step by step.

"No, you ran too fast."

He stopped in front of her, his deep eyes meeting hers with a rare seriousness.

"But Jinzhi, don't go to strangers' houses in the future, especially men, and especially not to places like this."

Jinzhi wasn't a spoiled or brainless person. Walking ahead, she whispered, "You're not a stranger."

Ye Yu followed behind her with a flashlight, saying, "We're not friends."

Jinzhi slowed her pace for a moment, then suddenly turned around.

The two were so close that they couldn't even exchange a single punch.

She looked up at him, her beautiful, glass-like eyes gazing at him, her soft voice slightly awkward.

"Then let's be friends from now on."

A night breeze swept by, lifting her chestnut hair and brushing it against his heart, making it tickle.

Ye Yu's breath hitched for a moment. He turned slightly to the side, creating an almost foul-like distance between them.

There was a hint of indifference.

"I don't want to be friends with you."
