Are you really making me go?

Back in 2203, Ye Zhenzhen looked at Chen Cheng nervously.

Should I go instead? Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her, annoyed.

He still couldn't figure out why Ye Zhenzhen actually intended to expose Lucy's identity theft in public.

Just go and explain it to her.

Fine, I'll go.

Ye Zhenzhen huffed, pouting as she walked out the door.

Chen Cheng frowned. What was wrong with her?

I didn't provoke her.

After thinking for a while without understanding, he gave up and called out to Ye Zhenzhen's older brother to have breakfast.

Brother, want some breakfast?

Ye Fang's round figure looked like it could withstand hunger, but since he was just standing there watching, Chen Cheng felt embarrassed not to invite him.

Ye Fang had been scared by Lucy and was still feeling lingering fear.

Why was this woman so fierce?

Are you... Zhen Zhen's...?

As soon as Ye Fang's attention shifted, he stopped being nervous and started sizing up Chen Cheng.

This guy was quite tall, which wouldn't affect the genes.

As for his looks, he was only a bit more handsome than me. It wouldn't be him marrying above his station if he became my brother-in-law.

I just don't know what his family background is like.

It won't do if his family background is too poor. Our Zhen Zhen is naive about the world; she can't be going off to help the poor.

Chen Cheng had no idea that in just a few seconds, Ye Fang's big head had thought of so many problems.

Hello, brother. I'm Chen Cheng. I'm Zhen Zhen's neighbor and a former Stanford alumnus. Chen Cheng smiled at the simple and honest-looking Ye Fang.

Before this, Chen Cheng had never met any of Ye Zhenzhen's family members.

Hello, hello.

Ye Fang didn't stand on ceremony either. He walked over, pulled up a chair, sat down, and stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.

Early in the morning, he had rushed over after picking up goods for the goddess. He hadn't had time for breakfast and was truly hungry.

You and Zhen Zhen are also classmates? Ye Fang asked after swallowing a mouthful of bun.

Alumni. I studied economics and am currently a doctoral student. Chen Cheng smiled. How could he not know that Ye Fang was trying to play detective again, gathering intelligence for Ye Zhenzhen's uncle, who was also her father?

Ye Fang mused, a doctor?

This is also an academic high-achiever. He really matches our Zhen Zhen well.

Wow, an academic high-achiever. When I was a kid, every time my dad beat me, he would always bring up Zhen Zhen. I've envied Zhen Zhen's good grades since I was little.

By the way, where is your family from?

This wasn't asking where his hometown was.

This was asking about his family situation and whether he was a local. If he was savvy, he could also mention whether he had bought a house.

Chen Cheng smiled. This Ye Fang was actually quite smart. How did he get strung along by a woman?

Sigh, in love, there is always someone willing to play the fool.

My hometown is Yixing. However, my late father came to Shanghai early on. I also went to university in Shanghai.

As he spoke, he smiled at Ye Fang.

Your late father?

Ye Fang was startled. Chen Cheng wasn't at the age where his parents would have passed away yet, right?

Could it be some kind of illness?

My father and mother both passed away in a traffic accident a few years ago.

Chen Cheng's face was calm, and Ye Fang immediately felt that his previous question was inappropriate.

I'm sorry~ I shouldn't have...

Chen Cheng smiled and waved his hand. Brother, don't blame yourself. One cannot be blamed for what one does not know. Besides, it's been many years.

An awkward smile was squeezed onto Ye Fang's face, feeling somewhat guilty.

However, it didn't take long for him to think that if Zhen Zhen really ended up with him, she wouldn't even have any mother-in-law troubles.

Thinking of this, Ye Fang's mood brightened up again.

Although the task my uncle gave me was botched, I found a good son-in-law for my uncle and aunt.

Uncle should praise me, right? Hehe~~~

The two chatted casually for a while, such as what he was doing after returning to the country.

The subway is always crowded when going to work.

Do you have any hobbies?

Of course, these questions were all asked by Ye Fang.

Chen Cheng watched Ye Fang with interest. This Wolong cousin seemed possessed by Yu Chuhui, clever and sly, asking questions that were both precise and subtle.

Asking what he did after returning was asking about his job and where he worked; chatting about the subway was asking what transportation he used for work and if he had a car; asking about hobbies was asking about his level of consumption.

Chen Cheng answered whatever Ye Fang asked; there was no need to hide anything.

He naturally wouldn't volunteer information that wasn't asked for.

While the two were chatting, Zhu Zhe and the others came over to mooch breakfast.

They didn't stay long, finishing their meal in a few minutes before leaving, as they were in a rush to get to work.

Yu Chuhui's leg seemed to be better; she wasn't limping anymore.

It was just that her eyes were very resentful. She didn't say anything, just kept her head down eating, making the atmosphere weird, so much so that even Zhu Zhe didn't dare to speak.

He Minhong, on the other hand, was oblivious, stuffing her face while praising how good the food was.

Chen Cheng didn't plan to go to the company today, so he ate leisurely, scrolling through his phone while continuing to chat with Ye Fang.

Feeling that his investigation was about done, Ye Fang found an excuse to leave first.

With Chen Cheng here, he didn't worry about Ye Zhenzhen's safety anymore.

After finishing the meal, Chen Cheng cleaned up the trash and watched the trading situation in the Japan market for a while before Ye Zhenzhen returned.

Why did you take so long? Chen Cheng looked at his watch and asked with a smile.

Um... Ye Zhenzhen's expression was conflicted.

Chen Cheng understood immediately; it seemed Lucy had laid her cards on the table with Ye Zhenzhen.

If not to win Ye Zhenzhen's support, at least she couldn't let Ye Zhenzhen cause trouble.

Did Lucy ask you to keep it a secret?

Ye Zhenzhen was startled. That's right, Lucy hadn't asked her to keep it a secret.

Thinking about it, that matter was still quite hard to talk about for Lucy, so Ye Zhenzhen chose to keep it secret. Hmph, none of your business.

Looking at Ye Zhenzhen's adorable, huffy appearance, Chen Cheng curled his lips, his eyes filled with doting affection as he looked at her.

There's breakfast there, do you still want to eat? If you do, I'll heat it up for you.

Phew, Ye Zhenzhen exhaled, organizing the things she needed to do today in her mind. No, you keep it for lunch. I'm going to change clothes; I still have to go to work.

Chen Cheng spread his hands. What a waste of food, Ye Zhenzhen!

A voice came from the room, That's still you wasting food; I didn't eat it.

...Damn it, you always have the best arguments.

Chen Cheng muttered. He didn't stay idle, putting the remaining buns into a lunchbox and tossing them in the fridge. The soy milk had to be poured out; it would gel once cold and couldn't be drunk.

Before long, Ye Zhenzhen came out wearing a black T-shirt.

Has the car you bought not arrived yet? Ye Zhenzhen asked crossly.

Her car wasn't fixed yet, and she had taken the subway to work yesterday.

Being crowded was one thing, but she also encountered a smelly older woman.

It wasn't that she smelled bad, but her perfume was too strong, so strong that it felt like rotting flowers.

It's all that stinky Chen Cheng's fault!

Um... Chen Cheng looked up at her. The salesperson called me; I can pick up a few cars this afternoon.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and added, Old Tan's 918, he sent it back again. It's downstairs. Why don't you drive that one for now?

Ye Zhenzhen pouted. When you step on the gas in that car, the whole street stares at you. You definitely can't drive it to work.

Her eyes rolled, and she stared at Chen Cheng. Are you still driving that alphard of yours?

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. Sometimes Ye Zhenzhen really understood him.

She had guessed that he had claimed Old Tan's car as his own.

I am.

If you are, why haven't you given me the keys? Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him. He really was like a Mythical creature known for attracting wealth.

Chen Cheng followed Ye Zhenzhen out. There was also a road bike in the car he had bought yesterday for cycling with Miao Che, which he planned to take home after going downstairs.

While the two were waiting for the elevator, Lucy happened to arrive, and Chen Cheng greeted her with a smile.

Hi, Lucy~

Hi~ Lucy curled her lips and smiled at the two, but her gaze toward Ye Zhenzhen was a bit unnatural.

Entering the elevator, Chen Cheng naturally pressed -1F, and Lucy pressed 1F.

Chen Cheng didn't plan to go to the company, so he didn't say anything about it being on the way.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Lucy, then at Chen Cheng. She raised her hand and pressed 1F several times, canceling Lucy's floor.

Lucy looked at Ye Zhenzhen strangely. Ye Zhenzhen said sheepishly, Sorry about today, I made you late. Let Chen Cheng drive you; he's got nothing to do.

Chen Cheng's eyes widened. Zhen Zhen, you are truly a good person!

Asking your own romantic interest to drive another beautiful woman to work?

After Ye Zhenzhen finished speaking, she looked at Chen Cheng with a sharp gaze. Right?

That look seemed to say, if you say no, I'll bite you twice.

What could he do? Scum had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Oh, yes.

After speaking, he smiled at Lucy. It's on the way.

He turned back to look at Ye Zhenzhen. Anyway, I gave the beautiful Lucy a ride yesterday too.

Yesterday?

Ye Zhenzhen immediately widened her eyes, looking at Chen Cheng, huffing. This jerk was starting to radiate charm again.

She couldn't hit him in front of others, and the words were already out, so she had to chime in, We're all neighbors, don't be polite with him.

Lucy looked at the two with a strange expression, and finally nodded, agreeing.

Alright then, thank you~
