Chapter 1037: Birthday Gift

Editor: Atlas Studios

Knock, knock! There was a knock on the door. Ye Tang wiped her tears. “Please come in.”

The person who came was Ye Ting. Ye Ting walked in and asked with concern, “Sister, does he treat you well?”

Ye Tang’s sadness turned into joy as she laughed. “You’re asking the same question as Grandma.”

Ye Ting walked over and hugged Ye Tang’s arm. “Sister, we haven’t slept on the same bed for a long time. I feel a little lonely.”

“Come to my house when you’re free. We’ll sleep on the same bed,” Ye Tang said. She also thought of the past. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia. Time passed too quickly.

Ye Tang glanced at her watch. It was already three in the afternoon. She walked out of the room with her grandmother and Ye Ting to bid farewell to the elders.

When everyone heard that Wen Ze had a flight at night, they did not ask him to stay, but they asked the two of them to come back often when they were free.

Ye Tang walked out of the door, still a little sad. She didn’t know how long she would have to wait for the next time she came back.

Wen Ze held her hand and looked at her seriously. “After I’m done celebrating my master’s birthday, we’ll come back when you want to.”

“Okay.” Ye Tang smiled. Her sadness was dispelled by this sentence.

“Let’s go. Get in the car.” Wen Ze held her hand and walked towards a car by the roadside. The two of them got into the car. Ye Tang found the driver familiar. She looked up and saw that it was the young man who had helped carry the gifts in the morning.

“Young Master Wen, where are we going?” The assistant stepped on the accelerator and asked.

Wen Ze said, “Apartment.”

In the car, Ye Tang slowly fell asleep. Not long after, she leaned her head on Wen Ze’s shoulder.

Wen Ze reached out and pulled her into his arms. He quietly looked at the woman’s sleeping face, his eyes filled with affection.

The assistant secretly looked back from the rearview mirror, feeling extremely envious.

…

The banquet in City B began. There were many good dishes on the table, and Wen Ze sat beside Professor Cao.

Cao Xian raised his glass. “Thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday. Today is a family banquet. Everyone, make yourself comfortable!”

“Alright!” The disciples below said in unison.

Cao Xian’s wife, Zhang Hui, looked at the dishes on the table and praised, “The dishes today were all prepared by Chen Hui. Look at how good her culinary skills are. She’s simply comparable to a chef of a five-star restaurant!”

“That’s right. Whoever can marry Chen Hui is really a winner in life.” Eldest Senior Brother Zhong Wu supported her.

Chen Hui looked embarrassed. “Madam, Senior Brother, I’ll become proud if you praise me again.” She secretly looked at Wen Ze, only to see that Wen Ze seemed to not have heard her, and her expression darkened a little.

Zhang Hui chuckled and asked, “The two of you haven’t gotten married yet. Why don’t you get together? Wen Ze, what do you think of Chen Hui?”

Zhong Wu’s chopsticks paused for a moment before he took another sip of wine.

Chen Hui looked at Wen Ze shyly and expectantly. This was what she had suggested to Zhang Hui. In the kitchen, she revealed that she liked Wen Ze, and Zhang Hui expressed that she wanted to matchmake the two of them.

“Oh?” Cao Xian also smiled and looked at Wen Ze. “Wen Ze, your master’s wife wants to be your matchmaker. Aren’t you going to seize the opportunity?” This brat! He should hurry up and catch his wife.

Everyone looked at Wen Ze in unison.

Wen Ze smiled faintly. “We’re not suitable.” After saying that, he continued to pick up food.

Zhang Hui was still smiling. “Forget it. You young people don’t understand. If you meet someone you like, you have to fight for it.” She felt that choosing her other half was choosing a relative who was not related by blood. It was still very important.

Chen Hui’s smile remained as she asked softly, “Senior Brother Wen, how are we not compatible?” She had to get an answer. It had been so many years, were they going to waste the years for nothing? She was unwilling to accept this.

The atmosphere at the dining table froze for a moment. Wen Ze put down the wine glass he had raised and looked at Chen Hui. He did not say anything, but his eyes were filled with warning.

Chen Hui forced a smile. “Senior Brother Wen, give me an answer!” She had wanted to ask for a long time, but Wen Ze had been avoiding her in private and was unwilling to talk to her about this topic. Today was a rare opportunity. Even if she offended her master, she would get to the bottom of it.

“Chen Hui!” Zhang Hui shouted with a frown. If she forced Wen Ze like this, even if she got the answer, it would hurt their harmony.

Zhong Wu could not stand it anymore. He raised his cup and wanted to change the topic. “Come, let’s…”

Chen Hui’s eyes turned red as she looked at Zhong Wu. “Eldest Senior Brother, don’t change the topic. I just want an answer today. I’ve liked Senior Brother Wen for six years. Six whole years. How many six years do I have left in my life?”

She looked at Wen Ze. “Even if you reject me, you have to give me a reason!” Otherwise, she would not be satisfied.

Cao Xian’s expression turned a little ugly. This was his birthday banquet. Usually, he would turn a blind eye to whatever his youngest disciple wanted to cause trouble. Now, Chen Hui was getting more and more ignorant. He was about to scold her when Wen Ze spoke.

Chapter 1038: Fiancée

Wen Ze stood up and said in a clear voice, “I didn’t have time to tell everyone that I already have a fiancée. I met her family this afternoon!” He looked at Cao Xian with a smile in his eyes.

Cao Xian couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Good, good, good! This is the best birthday gift you’ve given Master! Master is very happy!”

Chen Hui looked shocked. “Senior Brother, have you really decided on her?” Wen Ze automatically ignored her and did not reply.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Zhong Wu coughed a few times and raised his cup to sincerely congratulate Wen Ze. “Junior Brother, you’re one step ahead of me. Congratulations!”

Zhang Hui quickly asked, “Where is that lady from? How long have you known each other?”

“She’s from City A. We fell in love and got together,” Wen Ze answered concisely.

Cao Xian nodded again. “Alright, alright. I don’t have to worry about you.”

The few of them ate and chatted for a while. Chen Hui lowered her head and did not speak.

Zhang Hui asked again, “Wen Ze, have you told your family about this?” Upon hearing this, a glint flashed across Chen Hui’s eyes. As far as she knew, Wen Ze’s mother was a very controlling person. If Mother Wen objected, things would be much simpler.

Wen Ze thought for a moment and replied, “I’ve told Grandpa and Grandma. Mother is very busy and I don’t have the chance to share it with her in person for the time being.” He didn’t want to tell it to her online. It was best to clarify such an important matter in person.

Zhang Hui nodded. “It’s such a big matter. Hurry up and tell her. Otherwise, your mother will be worried.”

“Alright, I understand,” Wen Ze replied.

Chen Hui took a big gulp of wine, her eyes flashing with hatred.

After the banquet ended, Zhang Hui washed the bowls and chopsticks while Chen Hui helped to wash them.

Zhang Hui said earnestly, “Chen Hui, feelings can’t be forced. You should choose someone who has mutual feelings for you. A forced melon won’t be sweet.” She was worried that this child would not be able to get over it.

Chen Hui said gloomily, “I understand, Madam. Don’t worry.” After washing the dishes, she went upstairs.

Cao Xian and his wife did not have children, so their three disciples were equivalent to their children. On the third floor, each disciple had their own room. Chen Hui walked upstairs and stood at the door of Wen Ze’s room. She hesitated for a moment before knocking.

“What’s the matter?” Wen Ze opened the door and asked coldly.

Chen Hui grabbed his sleeve and quickly said, “Senior Brother Wen, think about me again. I can be a good wife and mother. I will love you more than she does.” This was the most desperate she had ever been.

Wen Ze shook off her hand. “Let’s keep our distance from now on. Let’s not talk alone.” With that, he was about to close the door.

Chen Hui finally exploded and roared in a low voice, “How can I not compare to Ye Tang? Isn’t she just a little richer? I’ll work hard too. I’ll do anything for you!”

Why didn’t he consider her? Ye Tang had only appeared later. She didn’t believe that Senior Brother Wen would have a crush on someone else.

Wen Ze looked at her coldly and said coldly, “You can’t compare to her in any way.” As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the door with a bang.

Chen Hui ran into her room in tears and threw all the pillows and blankets on the ground. Her entire body was trembling. Her youth had ended in a very unseemly manner.

…

At 10 p.m., Yu Su closed the shop and walked out of the alley. She had just turned out of the alley when she saw Xiao Han.

Xiao Han held a bouquet of roses in his hand and walked over with a smile. “Yu Su, how’s business in the shop today?”

“Pretty good,” Yu Su said with a smile. Seeing him come over, a certain part of Yu Su’s heart finally felt at ease. Yu Su carried the roses into the car and the man buckled her seatbelt.

“Do you want milk tea today?” Xiao Han asked.

“Sure.” Yu Su nodded.

“Close your eyes,” Xiao Han said.

Yu Su did as she was told. The next moment, she smelled the fragrance of milk tea and opened her eyes. “My favorite milk tea!” The most considerate thing was that the milk tea had already been inserted with a straw and was waiting for her to drink it.

“Thank you!” Yu Su said with a smile.

Xiao Han’s ears were burning. “Take a look at what’s in this bag.”

Yu Su took the package and opened it to see a red box. After opening it, she realized that it was a diamond necklace. “Thank you, I like it very much.” She held the necklace in her hand. The diamond sparkled under the light, looking extremely beautiful.

“It’s good that you like it. Sit tight. I’ll drive back.” Xiao Han’s mood had also become very good. Even the air by the roadside felt very fresh. The two of them were smiling all the way back.

At the entrance of the villa, Xiao Han turned off the engine and looked at Yu Su seriously. “Yu Su, I want a status.”

Yu Su hesitated and said, “I…”
