Ye Zhen smiled. So this was where they were waiting for her. If she had agreed just now, the mother and daughter would definitely have found another opportunity to ask her to bring Li Junsheng home.
She really didnât know where they got such a righteous attitude from. They took over her home, stole her father, and even wanted to steal the company her mother left behind.
Now, she still wanted to steal her âBoyfriend.âAlthough it was fake, the intention was the same.
She was too shameless. But it was a pity.
âAuntie, what are you talking about? Iâm Sister To Ning Han. Since Iâm one generation away from Mayor Li, then mayor Li and Ning Han are naturally one generation away.â
âBesides, even if thereâs no difference in seniority, uncle Liâs business is not my business. Donât you think so?â
She suddenly remembered something and looked at Ye Ninghan. âOh right, speaking of which, I think Ninghan has a boyfriend. Last time, I saw a man eating with her.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about?âYe Ninghan suddenly became nervous. Her face was pale and she looked flustered. âYe Zhen, donât talk nonsense. I donât have a boyfriend.â
Ye Ninghan was flustered. She didnât even call her sister anymore.
âEh? Did I see wrongly? I clearly saw you and that man ââ
Ye Zhen suddenly covered her mouth and looked as if she had said something wrong. âDad, Auntie, look at my mouth. Iâm talking too much again. Alright, Iâm tired. Iâm going upstairs to rest. You guys have a good night.â
She quickly went upstairs. When she turned the corner, she heard Chen Wanâs anxious voice. âNinghan, is what she said true? You have a boyfriend? Where did you get a boyfriend?â
âMom, I donât have one.â
Ye Ninghanâs face was pale. It was all Chen Liangâs fault. If he hadnât shamelessly pestered her, how could ye Zhen see her when she was pulling him?
Ye Zhen wasnât interested in Ye Ninghanâs explanation. With that Chen Liang around, Ye Ninghan would have a headache for a while.
After returning to her room, she calmed down and suddenly remembered that Li Junsheng said he would take her to Rongcheng the next day.
Although this girlfriendâs identity was fake, ye Zhen found that she couldnât help but feel a little nervous.
Would Li Junshengâs parents and family like her? If they didnât like her, then would she not have to pretend to be Li Junshengâs girlfriend?
Forget it, Iâll just take it as it comes. She would just treat it as if she was going out to play.
..
Rong Cheng was two hours away from Qingcheng by car. Ye Zhen woke up a little early today. She stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at herself. After making sure that there were no more problems, she picked up her bag and went downstairs.
Chen Wan and Ye Nanshan always woke up late on Saturdays. There was no one downstairs. She had specially told Li Junsheng yesterday to pick her up earlier today.
She went out of the Ye familyâs living room and passed through the garden. Li Junshengâs car had already stopped at the door. Her footsteps subconsciously quickened by two steps. As if she had remembered something, she was two steps slower.
Li Junsheng opened the car door and saw the little girl walking in his direction.
The bright yellow dress was well-tailored, which made her tall and slender figure and fair skin. Her black hair reached her shoulders, and one side of her hair was stuck behind her ears. One could see the diamond earrings on her ears.
One could tell that the little girl had put in a lot of effort to dress herself up today. Li Junshengâs eyes had a hint of a smile because of this discovery.
âUncle Li.â
Ye Zhen walked to the front of the car and stopped. For a moment, she felt embarrassed and didnât know where to put her hands and feet.
âGet in the car.â
Li Junsheng did not correct the way she addressed her. He gestured for her to get in the car.
Ye Zhen got in the car. Just as she was about to fasten her seatbelt, Li Junsheng hugged her waist and successfully carried her into his arms.
Ye Zhen was no longer as shocked by his actions as she was at the beginning, but she was still not used to it.
âUncle Li.â
âYou still call me uncle Li?âLi Junsheng raised the glass in the middle as soon as he arrived, and he did not mind being more intimate with her.
He kissed her on the lips and held her slender waist, successfully making her body more compatible with his.
âCall me what?â
â...âye Zhenâs face turned red from his kiss. Her body was pressed against her back, and her chin was pressed against her neck.
âWhat did you call me?â
âUncle Li.â
âCall Me Junsheng.â
It was too intimate, and Ye Zhen couldnât bring herself to call him that. She couldnât help but turn her head to look at him, but she just happened to kiss his lips.
The four lips met, and Li Junshengâs eyes were full of smiles.
âSo proactive? I like it.â
As he spoke, he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
Ye Zhen had nowhere to run. When she was about to lose her breath, Li Junsheng finally let go of her.
âUncle Li.âYe Zhenâs face was red. She was very dissatisfied with his behavior of always taking advantage of her.
âWell, it seems that you like this form of address.â
The smile in his eyes was very inexplicable. Ye Zhen did not know what he was smiling about. It was just a form of address.
âYou ââ
âRest for a while. After all, itâll take two hours to get here.â
Ye Zhen moved her body uncomfortably. âLet go of Me First.â
Li Junsheng followed his advice and placed her beside him so that she could sit down. As soon as ye Zhen left his arms, she wanted to sit by the car door.
Li Junsheng wouldnât let her have her way. He pulled her body to his side and said, âSleep next to me.â
Ye Zhen could not move. He turned his face and kissed her on the cheek.
âLetâs rest like this.â
It was still daytime. How could ye Zhen Want to sleep?
âIf you donât rest, we can do something else.â
Li Junsheng said something close to her ear. Ye Zhen was frightened. She closed her eyes to rest even if she did not want to sleep.
He was talking about something like a car shock. He had only heard of it but had never tried it. Perhaps she was interested in trying it?
Li Junsheng laughed out loud again when he saw how scared the little girl was.
The little girl was really interesting. He could imagine how much fun he would have with her by his side in the future.
Ye Zhen did not want him to take advantage of her again, nor did she really want to listen to him and have some tremors.
She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. In her daze, she remembered something.
She whispered something in Li Junshengâs ear. After making sure that he had heard her, she carefully kept a relatively safe distance from him and continued to rest.
..
Li Junshengâs home was in the same area as the Huo familyâs. When the car stopped at the main house of the Li family, ye Zhen really fell asleep.
Li Junsheng did not want to wake her up. Seeing that the little girl was sleeping soundly and her face was slightly pink, he thought for a moment and directly carried her out of the car.
It was October in Rongcheng, and the temperature was not high. The Breeze blew on her face, and she felt very comfortable.
Ye Zhen was so comfortable in the wind that she rubbed against Li Junshengâs arms. She found a comfortable position, but surprisingly, she did not wake up.
That kitten-like behavior made Li Junshengâs expression more and more gentle. He carried her through the door in such a harsh manner.
The nanny of the Li family was cleaning up in the living room. When she turned around, she was so shocked that her eyeballs almost fell out. What did they see? The eldest young master, who had never been close to women and had almost never seen him intimate with any woman, was carrying a woman into the house?
Not just the nanny? Mother Li just happened to go downstairs and was about to go out. In the end, she saw her son, who she almost thought would be single forever, carrying a woman into the house at the staircase?
âJunsheng?â
Was there something wrong with her eyes, or did her son really bring a girl home?
Li Junsheng was about to ask his mother to lower her voice, but ye Zhen, who was in his arms, woke up?
âUncle Li?â
Ye Zhen didnât Sleep well last night, so after deducting her initial nervousness in the car, she really fell asleep.
Now that she was awake, she didnât realize where she was. She only knew that she was being carried by Li Junsheng. She did not think about what was wrong. After all, she had slept next to Li Junsheng in the car.
âUncle Li?âShe yawned. âAre we almost there?â
Li Junsheng wanted to laugh even more. âWeâre already here.â
âWeâre already here. Ah?â
Ye Zhen blinked her eyes. She suddenly realized something. She did not seem to be in the car right now?
âJunsheng, arenât you going to introduce me to Mom?â
The voice behind her gave ye Zhen a big fright. She turned around and saw a young, well-maintained lady standing on the stairs.
The consciousness in her words made ye Zhenâs legs go soft. Mom? Sheâs Li Junshengâs Mom?
She panicked and hurriedly tried to get out of Li Junshengâs arms. Li Junsheng smiled and put her down from his arms.
Because she was too anxious and nervous, she almost lost her balance when her feet touched the ground.
Li Junsheng reached out to help her up, but she patted his hand without leaving a trace. She glared at him with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
âZhen Zhen.âLi Junsheng acted as if he didnât see her gaze. He hugged her and took a step forward. âThis is my mother.â
Ye Zhen was very embarrassed. Very embarrassed. She looked at Li Junshengâs mother, and her heart was filled with grief.
Li Junsheng, he had really had enough. He didnât even wake her up and let her lose so much face in front of his mother.
âHello, Auntie.â
Ye Zhen called out weakly. She really couldnât think of how she was going to change Li Junshengâs motherâs impression of her under such circumstances.
âMom, this is ye Zhen.âLi Junsheng looked at the interest in his motherâs eyes. âYou can just call her Zhen Zhen.â
Mother Li looked at ye Zhen. The smile in her eyes was very obvious. She didnât miss the two forms of address just now. Uncle Li? What form of address was that?
âZhen Zhen, right? What did you call Junsheng just now?â
â...âye Zhen was embarrassed again. And very embarrassed. Her face was so red that it was about to bleed. She was really annoyed, so she couldnât help but pinch Li Junshengâs hand.
Li Junsheng snorted slightly, and mother Li just happened to see her action. She burst into laughter.
â...âye Zhen was even more embarrassed. She had never lost her composure like this before. She felt that she couldnât stay any longer.
âHow cute.âMother Li could not help but step forward and gently pinch ye Zhenâs little face. She did not use much strength. She was even happier when she felt that the little girlâs face was burning badly.
She glanced at Li Junsheng. âHow do you usually take care of her? Sheâs so thin. Since sheâs back, stay here for a few more days and take good care of her.â
âOkay.â
Mother Li saw that ye Zhenâs face was burning, she patted her shoulder. âItâs like going back to your own home here. Junsheng doesnât know how to take care of people. If he does anything wrong, just tell me. Iâll help you teach him a lesson.â
Ye Zhen couldnât say a word. If there was a hole in the ground now, she would definitely crawl into it.
âI have something to do. I have to go out for a while. I Wonât be back for lunch. Your sister and your father arenât home for lunch. Take Zhen Zhen for a good stroll. Wait for us to come back in the evening, then weâll have dinner together.â
Mother Li thought about it and felt that it was too impolite. âWhy donât we eat outside? Weâll go to Cui Restaurant and get a private room. Iâll talk to your father.â
âThereâs no need.âIt was Li Junsheng who spoke. âLetâs eat at home. Otherwise, Zhen Zhen wonât feel comfortable.â
âThatâs true.âMother Li smiled, looking at the embarrassment on ye Zhenâs face, she said, âDonât worry. Mother Wangâs cooking is very good. She knows how to cook from both the north and south. If you have any special tastes, just let mother Wang Know.â
Ye Zhen looked at mother Li. Her gaze was very kind, not the kind that she pretended to be. She really seemed to like her very much.
The other partyâs attitude made her more relaxed and more at ease than before. âAuntie, itâs okay. Iâm not picky about food.â
âHow cute.âMother Li liked it even more. âOkay, I have to go out for something. I really canât turn down this social event at noon. Itâs all Junshengâs fault. He didnât even tell me he wanted to bring you back. Donât blame him.â
âI wonât. Auntie, you have something to do first. Iâll be fine.â
âJunsheng.âMother Li looked at her son. âTake good care of Zhen Zhen. Iâll be leaving first.â
After giving Li Junsheng a few more instructions, mother Li left. Ye Zhen felt much more relaxed after she left.
When she turned to face Li Junsheng, her expression changed again. âItâs all your fault. Why didnât You Wake Me Up?â
It was too embarrassing. Also, she had asked him to stop the car before coming to Rongcheng. She wanted to buy a present for his parents.
Yet, he went straight home. It was too impolite to show up empty-handed.
âDonât worry. My Mom wonât mind.â
Ye Zhen was angry. How was this a matter of whether she minded or not? It was because she felt embarrassed. It was very embarrassing.
Li Junsheng seemed to understand her thoughts. He leaned forward, his forehead almost touching hers. âYou care so much about my motherâs opinion of you. Do you intend to be my real girlfriend?â
Ye Zhen forgot to Blush. She stared blankly at Li Junshengâs enlarged face in front of her. Finally, she spat out two words. âNonsense.â
Li Junsheng smiled. Ye Zhen had long noticed that Li Junsheng seemed to especially like to smile.
What she did not know was that Li Junsheng only liked to smile in front of her. Most of the time, he was very indifferent in front of outsiders.
Because Li Junshengâs parents were not around, Li Junsheng did not let ye Zhen stay in the Li family for long.
After taking ye Zhen around the Li family and familiarizing herself with the environment, he took her out of the house.
Rong City had an old city district, a stone city, and some buildings from the previous colonial period.
Although ye Zhen was also from Province Z, she really hadnât been to Rong City much. In the afternoon, Li Junsheng brought her around the old city.
Although the old town here was small and couldnât compare to Lijiangâs Wuzhen, it still had its own flavor.
After leaving the old city, Li Junsheng brought ye Zhen home.
When they returned to the Li family, apart from Li Liâs mother, Li Junshengâs father, Li Qi, and his sister, Li Wanyu, had also returned. Li Wanyu also brought her boyfriend back.
Ye Zhen had already met Liâs mother before. When she saw Li Qi, she was once again nervous and rich.
Li Qi and Li Junsheng looked somewhat similar, but they gave people the feeling that they were more similar. Thinking about what Li Junsheng had said about his position, ye Zhen was so nervous that she didnât know where to put her hands and feet.
âDonât be nervous. Coming here is like returning to your own home. Donât be too nervous.â
Li Qiâs words were exactly the same as what his mother had said before. He also looked very amiable. After the embarrassing moment in the morning, ye Zhen was much calmer now.
However, when Li Qi heard that he was Lu Manjiangâs granddaughter, the way he looked at her changed again.
âYouâre actually brother Luâs granddaughter? Iâve heard him mention it a few times before. I didnât expect you to be so old.â
What made ye Zhen relax was that when Li Qi mentioned her grandfather, he had a look of admiration on his face. âBrother Lu is a very powerful scholar. Many of the academic topics he mentioned about economics are very valuable.â
Previously, mother Li had only heard that her son was going to bring a girlfriend home. She had never thought that there would be such a relationship.
âProfessor Luâs granddaughter?âShe suddenly smiled. âNo Wonder.â
No wonder she called Li Junsheng âUncle.âThis way of calculating seniority, it was really true.
âYou still call him brother Lu. I think that you have to change your way of addressing him in the future. Since you are going to get married, then call him Uncle Lu.â
âYes, yes, yes.âLi Qi also thought of it. âSince my son is going to marry you, then I canât call your grandfather brother Lu. Iâll change my way of addressing him as Uncle Lu.â
Ye Zhen was actually very embarrassed. When she came in the morning, she called Li Junsheng uncle. Now, she called him father and uncle. To be honest, Li Qi was lowering his status to rich. It really made her very embarrassed.
However, the Li coupleâs attitude was very good, which made her feel less nervous.
She greeted the Li familyâs parents and met Li Wanyu. Her boyfriendâs name was Zhou Xun, and he was from Hong Kong. He wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle.
It was said that he came from a rich family. He started to do business in Rong City in the last two years, and that was how he got to know Li Wanyu. The two of them stood together and looked quite compatible.
When Ye Zhen was in Qingcheng, she did not think that her family background was very poor. But when she came to Rongcheng and saw the members of the Li family, she secretly felt a little different.
In terms of family background, the Ye family was indeed inferior to the Li family. The Li family could be considered a big family. In addition to the main family of Li Junshengâs line, there were also side branches. Most of them held important positions in relevant departments.
Although the ye family, who had just taken an interest, had some money, they could not compare to the Li family.
When ye Zhen realized this, she could not help but have some very subtle thoughts. However, she had a big heart. This kind of emotion was only temporary.
In any case, she was only here to pretend to be Li Junshengâs girlfriend. No matter how good the other party was, no matter how good his family background was, it did not matter.
After this show, everything would be over. As for the unspeakable disappointment in her heart, well, she would ignore it.
