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

She secretly tried it once during her rebellious phase in high school, but choked after just one puff and threw away both the cigarette and the lighter.

When she became curious and wanted to try it again, her father caught her red-handed and gave her a severe scolding.

I never dared to do it again.

Ye Yu only smokes one or two cigarettes when he's under a lot of pressure. He didn't want Jinzhi to see it anyway, and when he heard that she wanted to try it, the veins on his forehead throbbed.

He stubbed out the cigarette on the cement floor.

"Smoking is bad for your health, and girls should especially avoid it."

Jinzhi leaned closer to reach for the cigarettes and lighter on the windowsill. "I'll try it out. I'm just curious why so many people like to smoke. My mother used to smoke too, but she always avoided me."

Ye Yu snatched it first, bypassed her and went upstairs. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the cigarette and lighter into the trash can.

Don't even think about it.

Sitting on a bench.

Jinzhi sat down next to him. "Ye Yu, am I bothering you? Then I won't say anything, but your mother will definitely be alright. My word is very accurate."

Ye Yu glanced at her twice.

She looked at him cautiously.

He lowered his long eyelashes. "No, I was thinking about something else."

"real?"

"Um."

"Okay." She propped her head up, recalling how he had smoked earlier, a little infatuated. "But you looked kind of handsome when you smoked."

Good at studying, good-looking, capable, can cook, and loves to be clean...

If he weren't Ye Yu... it wouldn't be impossible to try dating him...

Jinzhi quickly shook her head, trying to shake off the unrealistic thoughts in her mind.

Is she going to date the male lead, Ye Yu?

Does she, a supporting female character, have no regard for her life?

This was the first time someone had praised him so bluntly, and Ye Yu felt a little awkward. He cleared his throat and said, "No matter what, you can't smoke. It's very harmful to your health."

"Oh, you're not allowed to smoke anymore either."

"OK."

At 3:06 p.m., the operating room door opened wide, and an exhausted doctor came out with his mask off.

Ye Yu strode forward. "Doctor, how is my mother?"

The doctor gave a tired smile.

"It was very successful. The critical condition notice was due to sudden bleeding. Blood was obtained from the blood bank. The intern may not have explained it to you clearly."

Ye Yu felt a huge weight lifted from his heart and said excitedly, "That's good, that's good. Thank you, doctor, you've worked hard."

"Postoperative care should not be taken lightly. The nurses will tell you the specifics. Please follow their instructions strictly. Since your mother is elderly, it is recommended that she stay in the hospital for observation for a while before being discharged."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

"Now you can rest assured. I told you your mother is a good person and will be fine. You'll still have a lot to do afterward, there are many details to pay attention to in post-operative care..."

Ye Yu suddenly leaned over and hugged her.

"Jinzhi, no matter what, thank you."

Jinzhi opened her wide, round eyes, held tightly in his arms, completely losing her ability to think.

It lasted for one minute.

He noticed that Jinzhi wasn't reacting.

Realizing his loss of composure, Ye Yu released her and took two steps back to create distance between them.

"Feel sorry."

Jinzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just excited. I feel like that sometimes too. Come on, let's ask the nurse if we can go see your mother."

"Um."

For two consecutive days, Ye Yu stayed at the hospital to take care of Yang Jiamei.

On the third day, Jinzhi made many mental preparations, bought flowers, fruits and supplements, and formally visited Yang Jiamei.

Pushing open the door, Yang Jiamei leaned against the bed, berating Ye Yu: "Who told you to buy these things? It's a waste of money! Return them all! If you don't return them, don't consider me your mother!"

Ye Yu stood silently to the side.

Jinzhi said softly, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Ye Yu's classmate. I heard your surgery was successful, so I came to see you."

Yang Jiamei was distracted for a moment, then a smile bloomed on her face, and she was very enthusiastic.

"Is that the girl you had tutoring the other day? She's really pretty. Come, sit down, please sit down."

"Ye Yu, pour some water for your classmate." She lowered her voice. "Don't return the imported fruit; use it to wash your classmate's nose."

Ye Yu felt a little helpless; he had just been scolding him.

Jinzhi put down the gift in her hand.

Yang Jiamei declined, saying, "Girl, I don't need these. It's too much trouble for you. It's already a great help for us that Ye Yu is tutoring you. You can take them all later."

"Auntie, Ye Yu's lectures are excellent, and his tutoring fees are incredibly low. I came here to thank him, and I'd feel bad if you didn't accept the tuition."

"Okay then, keep the flowers, Auntie appreciates your kindness, take the rest."

"no……"

The two of them tugged and pulled at each other for a while before finally sitting down to talk.

Jinzhi's gaze never left Yang Jiamei's face. If she had been raised by her side since childhood, would she be like Ye Yu now?

Jinzhi didn't know.

But we know that in the original story, Yang Jiamei was sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. Later, when she found out that Yang Jiamei was pregnant, she scolded both of them, but after scolding them, she brought them free-range chickens and vegetables from her home.

She has no conscience and threw it all away.

Thinking of this, Jinzhi wished she could slap herself twice.

After chatting for less than half an hour, Yang Jiamei was a little tired, and Jinzhi didn't stay any longer.

Ye Yu saw her out.

"It's almost noon, would you like to eat?"

"You want to cook for me?"

"Um."

Who takes care of your mother?

"Ye Ran will arrive at the hospital in ten minutes."

"Okay, let's go to your place."

Jinzhi was brought here by the driver, who left after dropping her off.

Ye Yu unusually took a taxi, first taking Jinzhi to the market to buy groceries, and then going home.

The dishes Jinzhi had requested were prepared in just one hour, and every single one of them was something Jinzhi liked to eat and suited her taste perfectly.

Jinzhi ate her second bowl of rice when Ye Ran, carrying his schoolbag, returned and began to complain about them.

"Oh, you guys, four dishes and a soup, secretly eating good food behind my back!"

Ye Yu served him a bowl of rice. "Alright, if you keep talking nonsense, you really won't get any food."

After dinner, Ye Yu washed the dishes, while Ye Ran, who had been watching TV, awkwardly moved closer to Jin Zhi.

Do you have time?

"What are you doing?"

"I know you gave me the snacks, and I can't refuse such kindness. Want to go to the arcade? It's on me."

"You have money?"

Ye Ran took out his small blue wallet and pulled out five crumpled red bills.

"My scholarship."

I'm so proud.

Jinzhi praised her, saying, "That's really impressive."

She packed her bag and stood up.

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Ye Yu asked after washing the dishes.

Jinzhi: "Take my younger brother out to play."

Ye Ran: "Brother, you should come too. It's on me. You haven't had a break in a long time, so treat yourself to some relaxation."

Ye Yu glanced at Jinzhi, "Okay."

Jinzhi hailed the car on her phone, but halfway there Ye Ran realized something was wrong. "It's not the arcade I was talking about."

Jinzhi: "The place you found isn't fun. I'll take you to a more upscale place."

Ye Ran opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Jinzhi knew what he was thinking, so she patted his head and said, "Your sister Jinzhi isn't so low as to let kids pay for our outings. I'm treating today because I'm happy."

Ye Yu and Ye Ran said in unison, "No way."

Jinzhi didn't argue with them.

"It has to work, even if it doesn't work."

We arrived at Wan Hui Shopping Plaza soon.

Ye Ran stood curiously in front of the huge, luxurious square. He had passed by here many times before, but had never gone inside.

Jinzhi put her arm around his shoulder. "I have a membership here. I'll buy you whatever you like."

He pulled him inside, and Ye Yu followed behind.

Being a child, Ye Ran ran into the arcade as soon as he got to the second floor.

Jinzhi often came here, but she had never been to a place like this where only children go, so she reluctantly followed along.

They were proven wrong not long after.

Playing two-player racing games with Ye Ran, round after round, they never got tired of it.

After playing the racing machine, we played the claw machine, then the fishing machine, the gashapon machine, the coin pusher machine, and the basketball machine.

Ye Yu followed behind the two, buying game coins whenever possible.

The two were terrible at the game; they used up dozens of game coins in no time.

Ye Yu felt that no matter how rich Jinzhi became, she should never gamble in Macau, or she would have her hands chopped off.

Playing the coin pusher machine, I put in dozens of tokens in less than ten minutes, but the blind box didn't come out. Undeterred, I kept buying more tokens to play.

After playing for two hours and buying hundreds of game tokens, I finally managed to push the blind box out of the coin pusher and got a really ugly doll.

Ye Ran muttered, "The money I spent on coins could buy dozens of Ugly Dolls."

Jinzhi happily admired her ugly doll, saying, "What do you know? I'm spending money to buy happiness."

After a while, she handed the ugly doll to Ye Yu, saying, "I'm passing on happiness to you."

Ye Yu: "I don't want to."

Jinzhi: "I don't want it either."

Ye Yu: "Why?"

Jinzhi: "I felt happy when I saw him just now, but now I find him ugly."

Ye Yu: "..."

The three of them went up to the third floor, walked around, and Jinzhi made an excuse to go to the restroom. Behind their backs, she went to a dessert shop and bought a bunch of small cakes, giving them all to Ye Ran.

"We bought too much, we can't finish it all, you can eat it."

They went up to the fourth floor to the luxury stores. Jinzhi didn't go in; she just strolled around outside and chatted with Ye Ran.

I saw a really pretty butterfly necklace outside the shop and walked back and forth in front of the shop three times.

Ye Yu went in first, followed by Jin Zhi.

Ye Ran glanced at his clothes, then hesitated to go inside and waited outside.

Ye Yu: "Which one do you like?"

Jinzhi pointed to the sparkly butterfly necklace at the saleswoman, "Let me see this."

"Miss, I'm sorry, this necklace has already been reserved by a customer."

"Limited edition?"

"Yes, only three are available for sale in Yuncheng. If you want more, you'll need to source them from elsewhere."

"How long will it take?"

"At the latest, one week."

Jinzhi calculated the time; there was enough time to have a private designer expedite the order. "Never mind then."

"Let's go."

Once outside the store, Ye Yu asked, "Why don't you want it anymore?"

"It's too slow," she said casually. "I suddenly remembered that I have a lot of these at home."

The three of them watched a movie, and then the family driver came to pick up Jinzhi, so she left first.

Ye Yu returned to the mall and went to the jewelry store.

"Hello, how much did that necklace we were looking at cost?"

"Ninety-nine thousand nine."

Ye Ran gasped, tugging at Ye Yu's sleeve. "Brother, you're more precious than my life."

Ye Yu: "Pre-order one for me, as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

That evening, Ye Yu reconnected with Coach Zhang.

"Coach, I want to participate in a boxing match, is there still a chance?"

"Does your mother's illness require more money?"

"Other reasons."

"There's a rookie tournament on the 7th of next month with a prize of 200,000. The participants are much stronger than last time. You should consider it carefully."

Ye Yu touched the watch on the table. "Coach, I'm ready. Could you please register me?"

Only now does he dare to admit that he likes Jinzhi.

His mother was cured and he was no longer burdened. He did not expect Jinzhi to agree to be with him now, but only hoped that she would give him a chance in the future.

She... probably has feelings for him.

Otherwise, why be good to him?

He will work hard to earn money.
