One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 815 - 813: Ye Dashi Extra (Part 2)
Ye Zheng was momentarily stunned, turned his gaze aside, and saw the woman’s handsome and uninhibited side profile, then turned back, "No, I don’t smoke."
"Huh." The woman let out a cold chuckle, "You, Ye Zheng, have two vices you can never quit in your life: cigarettes and women. So, when did you change your habits?"
Ye Zheng: "..."
He didn’t think this woman named Phoenix understood him much; after all, the four families in H City had intertwined interests, essentially like vines winding around each other.
"No." The man smiled lightly, "I’m just afraid of dying, so I quit."
Indeed, he was afraid of dying.
Because he had died once, but the heavens had given him another chance at life, except... in this world, there was no longer "Yuan Yumeng."
Phoenix’s lips curved upwards, "Heh, well then, forget it."
This artificially relaxed tone made Ye Zheng glance at her; he had to admit this woman was unlike any other woman he had encountered before.
In his perception, women should be soft and in need of protection, just like "Yu Meng."
But clearly, this woman wasn’t; she was like a sharp blade, the strongest weapon—
...
The Gu Family and Jiang Family finally succeeded in their alliance, while Phoenix from the Feng Family instantly became the laughingstock of H City.
After attending the event, Ye Zheng returned home, hands in his pockets, and upon entering saw his mother rushing over, her smile making him feel somewhat uneasy.
The next moment, his mother, the Ye Family, pulled him to sit on the sofa in the living room, eagerly handing him a piece of watermelon.
Ye Zheng accepted with an awkward smile, "Thanks, Mom."
In his previous life, he hadn’t felt much motherly love, but he received quite a bit of warmth from this semi-real mother.
The Ye Family looked at her son, her eyes slightly deep; she always felt that this son now seemed different from before.
Though he still played around and was irresponsible, his attitude towards her was much better than before.
Just now, she gave him watermelon, and he actually said, "Thanks, Mom."
"Son..." the Ye Family smiled sweetly and said, "I want to discuss something important with you."
"Sure, go ahead." Ye Zheng tried to appear rebellious, but unfortunately, he wasn’t that kind of person at heart. He might show this to others, but he couldn’t really be mean to this woman.
Seeing his attitude, the Ye Family felt inexplicably comforted in her heart, thinking the child had finally grown up and was beginning to understand things.
"You know that now the Gu and Jiang Families are in-laws."
"Yes." Ye Zheng nodded thoughtfully, "So what?"
Why did he have a bad feeling?
The Ye Family squinted her eyes and smiled, her already small eyes becoming even smaller. She pretended her throat was uncomfortable and coughed, "Son, you know that our four families seem friendly, but behind the scenes, they’re always scheming against each other."
"Just think! Now those two families have become in-laws, isn’t our Ye Family in a worse situation?"
Ye Zheng: "Worse in what way?"
The Ye Family sighed, lamenting his inability to understand, "Son, you’re so handsome, why isn’t your brain sharp? Now that the two families have formed an alliance, our Ye Family is even more isolated! The children from the other three families can all stand on their own, but in our family..."
"Can you manage it?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Ye Zheng smirked inwardly; he roughly understood what his mother meant: she feared the Ye Family would be consumed by the other three families.
"So what brilliant idea did you come up with, Mom?"
"I do have something!" The Ye Family’s eyes shone, "I thought about it all night and finally came up with a clever plan."
"What?" Ye Zheng frowned, feeling it wasn’t clever but underhanded.
"Our family should also form an alliance with the Feng Family; after all, the Feng Family has three daughters. You can just pick one to marry."
Ye Zheng: "..."
