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

Jinzhi touched his forehead with her hand.

"You don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

She pointed to herself, then to him.

"You mean we're getting married?"

Jinzhi felt that she had been frightened too much in the past two days.

Or perhaps the people around you are not quite normal.

First Ye Yu, and now Zhou Yinche.

She found it incredible.

"What's our relationship? We're best friends, closer than siblings. You mean I should wear a wedding dress and you should wear a suit, and we'll be all lovey-dovey on the stage? That's so cheesy."

Zhou Yinche slapped her hand away.

"I said it was a fake marriage, just for show. That way you can have a child smoothly and register the child's birth, and I can get the shares from the old man. Once I have complete control of the Zhou family, let's see how those one or two illegitimate children outside can cause trouble!"

He increased his stakes.

"How about I give you two percent of the shares? You could squander them all every day and still not be able to spend them all."

Two percent of Zhou's Pharmaceuticals' shares are more than an average family could spend in three lifetimes.

Jinzhi's eyes lit up; she was slightly tempted.

On second thought, she realized that she still owned three percent of the shares in the Jin family business, even though she didn't receive the dividends.

Wen Manchun knew Jinzhi, this money-devouring beast, very well. Fearing that she would squander the money recklessly, the shares were in her name, but she kept the dividend card for her and gave her pocket money every month.

"The offer you've made is tempting, and we could definitely both win, but something just feels off. It's too hasty, and it doesn't quite feel right..."

"alright."

Zhou Yinche served her a bowl of cordyceps and black chicken soup.

"I said I'd give you time to think it over, but that doesn't mean I want you to make a choice right now. After all, it's a major life decision, so think it through before you tell me."

"Okay, let me think about it."

After finishing his meal, Zhou Yinche went home to catch up on sleep. He hadn't slept well all night and was extremely tired.

Before leaving, he said, "I've made an appointment for your checkup at our hospital. You can have a comprehensive physical examination when you have time. You can trust me to handle things; the whole process will be kept confidential, and no one will gossip."

Thanks.

Jinzhi sat in the restaurant for a while, rubbed her slightly full stomach, and then took a walk on the street with her bag.

Zhou Yinche's words do make sense.

But she didn't want their pure relationship to become so complicated. He was a good person, and she wanted their friendship to last.

The evening breeze ruffled my hair, and there were two or three customers by the street stalls. The streetlights cast warm yellow shadows, accompanied by the occasional chirping of cicadas, creating a strong summer night atmosphere.

Jinzhi wandered aimlessly.

My phone chimed in my handbag.

Ye Yu sent a message.

Did you break up?

Jinzhi typed angrily.

【We broke up! We broke up! We broke up!】

I posted another meme of a cat rolling its eyes.

They replied very quickly.

Come home early, your parents are waiting for you.

Jinzhi: [No need to wait for me, let them rest first.]

Ye Yu: [They said they can't sleep until you get home.]

Jinzhi: [Understood.]

Her fingers paused on the keyboard for a moment, then she sent another message.

[Ye Yu, are you feeling uncomfortable about this?]

He's been home for so long, and his mood seems to have always been indifferent, except for the night he attacked and forcibly kissed her.

But it's not because my parents are biased.

He... doesn't seem to have much affection for his parents.

In fact, after Ye Yu returned, she often kept her distance from Mr. and Mrs. Jin, unless she was used to being intimate and her subconscious actions were hard to change.

So that Ye Yu wouldn't feel uncomfortable if he saw it.

No, I also care when you're coming home.

Jinzhi looked at it for a while, then didn't reply.

She kept walking.

I walked to a fountain and music plaza, feeling a bit tired. I was thinking of finding a place to sit down and text the driver to pick me up and take me home.

Someone called her name.

"Sister Jinzhi, is that you?"

Jinzhi turned her head and saw Zhao Xijin standing in the center of the square, wearing a work uniform and holding a tray.

She walked over.

"Are you doing a part-time job here?"

Zhao Xijin handed her a small cake from the tray.

"Here you go, chocolate flavor, your favorite. They don't use any weird additives or preservatives. I watched them make it myself."

Jinzhi showed no disgust and ate while talking to her.

"Besides this, do you do any other part-time jobs?"

Zhao Xijin was a little embarrassed to say it.

For some reason, Jinzhi hasn't been contacting her lately, nor has she asked her for help with anything.

In the past, even during holidays, Jinzhi would send her messages asking her to run errands, but Jinzhi hasn't contacted her for almost half a month.

Wages will be paid as usual.

She felt embarrassed to accept it.

Zhao Xijin is not a coy person.

"I also have a part-time job at a tutoring center. Sister Jinzhi, is something wrong with you lately? Why haven't you contacted me?"

Jinzhi went into the cake shop where she worked part-time and picked out a cake.

"I only don't contact you when there's nothing wrong. I sleep all day at home and don't have anything to do."

"But you hardly ever reply to my messages."

A few days ago, she asked Jinzhi if she wanted to go to the movies with her and Zhang Lulu, but Jinzhi took a long time to reply that she was busy.

I asked her yesterday if she wanted to eat at the fruit stall near the school, but she didn't reply.

Jinzhi is a picky eater; she won't eat many kinds of cut fruit, only the special yogurt and coconut jelly from the shop near the school gate.

Jinzhi chose a matcha cream cake and a chocolate ice cream cake that she tried.

"Please settle these two accounts for me." She explained softly, "I've been sleeping on a whim these past few days, so I haven't seen a lot of messages, and sometimes I forget to reply even when I do. It's the same with my parents' messages."

Zhao Xijin said, "Sister Jinzhi, you don't need to buy cakes here just because I work part-time. You don't even like cream cakes. I only came here part-time because I was bored. You don't need to help me meet my sales targets."

She used to call Jinzhi by her full name, but ever since she found out that Jinzhi was a year older than her, she started calling her "sister".

Because Jinzhi treated her very well.

"It's not what you think. My parents are waiting for me at home. They like matcha cream. Didn't you say it has no additives and is safe to eat?"

"Please pay the bill for me."

Zhao Xijin paid the bill for her and saw her out.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not busy at all lately. You can ask me to do anything you need. I can also go out with you if you want."

"I sleep at home every day, there's really nothing to do. You go ahead with your work, I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

It's true that she's bored and just wants to sleep at home, and it's also true that she doesn't want to bother Zhao Xijin.

She is a resilient and indomitable heroine.

How could she insult her character with the stench of money?

They initially wanted to stop their deal, but then they thought that Zhao Xijin might really want to make money, so they didn't tell him the truth.

They continued to pay her, but stopped letting her do the work.

Zhao Xijin watched Jinzhi walk as far as her back could go, pondering why Jinzhi had stopped letting her run errands.

Could it be that someone stole her position?

Has Jinzhi gotten another dog?

She called her mother.

"Mom, please keep an eye on Miss for me. See if anyone comes to our house to visit her or run errands for her recently. If so, let me know immediately."

……

Jinzhi arrived home at exactly nine o'clock. She handed the cake to her parents, said a few words, and went upstairs.

Upon reaching the third floor, I went to the living room to get some water.

I had just sat down on the sofa when the gym door diagonally opposite me opened.

Ye Yu walked out from inside, drying his hair.

He was shirtless, his smooth and strong shoulders and back clearly defined, with well-proportioned and unexaggerated muscles.

Water droplets from his hair slid slowly down his neck and collarbone, flowing over his fair and firm eight-pack abs.

She wore light gray sweatpants, the waistband casually hanging down her waist, revealing glimpses of her V-line.

Her buttocks are perky and shapely.

Her wet hair clung to her forehead, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and clear, and her jawline was smooth, making her look both casual and alluring.

Jinzhi paused in her pouring of water and quickly looked away.

"Ye Yu, can't you be a little more mindful of yourself! I'm still at home, can't you at least be dressed properly?"
