Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 670

Chapter 670: Chance Encounter

“Do you regret it?” Zhuang Ning asked him.

Ye Cheng shook his head slightly. “What’s there to regret? She was unaware of her circ.u.mstance and did not understand the situation. How could she be so tactless? Did she really not know she wouldn’t have a good ending if she offended Ye Xin?”

Cras.h.!.+

The cup of tea in Zhuang Ning’s hand fell to the ground. The sound of it breaking was very jarring.

A fragment of the porcelain cup flew and nicked Zhuang Ning’s exposed calf.

Ye Cheng sat up in surprise and hurriedly took a piece of tissue and held it against the cut.

Zhuang Ning brushed his hand away and said, “It’s late. You should go home.”

She did not wait for his reply and used the tissue to wipe the blood off before she went into the bedroom, leaving a bewildered Ye Cheng behind.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, she leaned against it and slowly slid down to the floor. She raised her head to prevent her tears from falling. She thought to herself, ‘In these people’s eyes, my life is like that of an ant. What reasons do I have to be soft-hearted? Is there anything I can’t do?’

Zhuang Ning fiercely wiped the tears off her face and grew even more determined.

…

In a restaurant at the bottom of the Ye Group’s building.

Yin Jia and Guan Tang were having coffee.

Guan Tang looked around before she said, “The Ye Group is really impressive.”

Yin Jia did not say a word. She had deliberately brought Guan Tang here. The better Ye Cheng’s conditions were, the more Guan Tang would be unable to hold back.

After looking around, Guan Tang asked softly, “Brother-in-law’s conditions are really good. Why does he work at the Public Security Bureau?”

Yin Jia stirred her coffee as she replied, “Everyone has their own plans. Look at our family. In the past, Grandpa had always wished Yin Jia would enter politics so Yin Jia could take care of the family in the future.”

Guan Tang smiled. “It’d be strange if he could take care of the family. It’d be good enough as long as he didn’t cause trouble for the family.”

Yin Jia’s att.i.tude eased upon hearing these words.

At this moment, Ye Cheng hurried over and said with a smile, “I apologize for keeping the two beautiful ladies waiting. What would you like to drink?”

Ye Cheng raised his hand and beckoned the waiter over.

“We’ve already offered coffee,” Yin Jia said, gesturing at her cup of coffee.

Ye Cheng ordered a fruit platter before he asked Yin Jia, “What’s the matter?”

Guan Tang did not let Yin Jia reply and quickly said, “Grandpa is in the city, and he wants to meet you. Sister came to see if you’re free.”

Guan Tang looked very cute when she spoke.

Ye Cheng glanced at Guan Tang before he said with a smile, “Of course, I’m free.” Then, he asked Yin Jia, “Is there anything I should be aware of? What kind of gift should I bring for my visit?”

Yin Jia smiled gently as she said, “I’ve already prepared a gift on your behalf. You can follow me to the car and get it later.”

Ye Cheng was surprised. “That’s inappropriate, right?”

“My grandfather has a strange temper and is difficult to please. I’d carefully selected the gift. Don’t worry. He’ll definitely like it,” Yin Jia replied.

Guan Tang chimed in, “Sister is Old Master Yin’s favorite! He has doted on her since she was young. If Sister’s happy, he definitely won’t make things difficult for you.”

Yin Jia only smiled and did not say anything.

Ye Cheng said with a shrug, “Alright, I’ll follow your arrangements.”

Guan Tang grabbed Yin Jia’s arm gently and said, “Sister, you’re really lucky! Brother-in-law listens to you so much. This is something many women dream of!”

“Isn’t this how all boyfriends should be?” Ye Cheng asked with a smile.

Guan Tang placed one hand against her heart and said, “Sister, look. Brother-in-law is showing how much he likes you.”

Yin Jia was in a good mood.

At the same time, Ye Cheng scoffed inwardly at the two women. He thought that Guan Tang really spared no effort in putting on a good show and seducing Yin Jia’s boyfriend so openly.

At this moment, a slightly trembling voice rang from behind Ye Cheng.

“Ye Cheng?!”

Ye Cheng froze. It was as though he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

‘Why is Zhuang Ning here?’

Zhuang Ning walked to the side of their table. Her eyes were only trained on Ye Cheng as she asked in a soft and slightly pained voice, “Ye Cheng, should I congratulate you?”
