Chapter 849: Probing
Chen Chen’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that his boss was truly ruthless. He could not help but sigh inwardly when he thought about Guan Tang and Yin Jia. The women really met their match.
…
The Yin family was in a mess, and Director Wang and Xiao Yang had ulterior motives.For these reasons, Chen Chen did not have to expend too much effort to get Guan Tang out of Yi Garden.
Guan Tang looked very haggard, and she also looked a little bloated. When she saw Ye Cheng, she was overjoyed. She ran to him and hugged his waist as she said excitedly, “Young Master Cheng, we have a child!”
Ye Cheng suppressed the urge to vomit before he gently held her shoulders, supporting her. Then, he looked her up and down before he said incredulously, “Really? But you’re still so slender. You don’t look pregnant at all.”
Guan Tang smiled sweetly. She placed one hand on her lower abdomen and said softly, “The baby is still very small. It’s just the size of a bean now. When the baby grows, I won’t be slim anymore. Young Master Cheng, will you think I’m ugly when that time comes?”
Ye Cheng smiled and said, “How’s that possible? Pregnant women are the most amazing.”
Then, Ye Cheng turned around to look at the house. This was arranged by Chen Chen, and he had yet to take a look.
As soon as Ye Cheng turned around, the smile on Guan Tang’s face vanished immediately. Her hand was still on her lower abdomen, but her expression was icy. It would be normal if Ye Cheng had spoken sarcastically or denied that the child was his; it would also mean that he had saved her out of nostalgia. With that, she was confident enough to make Ye Cheng fall in love with her again.
However, Ye Cheng did not ask any questions about the child and seemed like he had accepted the child just like that. How could this be possible? After all, let alone Guan Tang, even if Yin Jia were pregnant, he would definitely check the men around her to ensure the child was his. He did not mention a single word about her and those men. If he did, at least she would have a chance to explain, complain, cry for justice, and gain his sympathy. However, since he did not ask about the matter, it meant that he had already despised her in his heart, thinking that she was a filthy woman. She thought that it was fortunate that he still saved her. Based on this, it was clear that Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual was very important to him.
Guan Tang took a deep breath before the sweet smile returned to her face again. Then, she quickly caught up to Ye Cheng and gently tugged at the hem of his shirt. She said, “Darling, do you know about Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual?”
As expected, Ye Cheng stopped moving.
Guan Tang’s heart iced over immediately.
“Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual?” Ye Cheng echoed. His gaze burned like a torch as he looked at Guan Tang.
Guan Tang looked into Ye Cheng’s eyes. Her expression was one of sincerity and gratitude as she nodded gently.
Ye Cheng shook his head and said, “I’m not too sure. I only know that Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual belongs to Song Ning, Mu Chen’s wife. It’s always been managed by Cheng Che. I heard that the brand is very famous and has won many awards. It also has exhibitions locally and internationally. I heard that there’s a membership system. If you want me to buy you the clothes there, I might not be able to do it. I might have to beg Cheng Che to help me. However, that kid has always been very business-minded. He might not agree to help me.”
Clearly, Ye Cheng was trying to change the subject.
With this, Guan Tang was even more certain of her speculation. She thought to herself, ‘It’s just as well that he saved me because of the embroidery manual. I’m going to make a fool out of everyone…’
Outwardly, Guan Tang smiled sweetly and said, “I’m not going to make you buy me the clothes from Zhuang Ji. With my current appearance, how can I wear those clothes? I only want to tell you about Zhuang Ji’s secrets. Young Master Cheng, don’t you want Zhuang JI’s business for yourself?”
Ye Cheng looked startled. He said with an earnest smile, “How’s that possible? If I do that, Mu Chen and Cheng Che will definitely kill me, right? To me, the most important thing is to coexist with them peacefully. I don’t want to make an enemy out of those two.”
