Not long after, the team that went out to walk the dog returned.

"Why are you configuring a car again?" Xiao Ye leaned over, saw the configuration interface, and asked suspiciously.

Chen Cheng's lips curled up slightly, "Nothing better to do, so I'm just browsing shopping apps."

"By the way, why don't you go get your driver's license?"

"Otherwise, let Sister Ling get you a driver."

"You're somewhat of a public figure now, it doesn't look good for people to keep snapping photos of you taking taxis or the subway alone."

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, then replied in a soft, sweet voice, "A driver... maybe let's skip that?"

"How about I go get a driver's license?"

Chen Cheng looked at her with annoyance, "Why is that still a question?"

Xiao Ye pouted, acting coquettishly, "I'm just used to it, hehe~"

"You're just lazy," Chen Cheng said, feeling somewhat helpless.

"About that... the house you want to buy, I've thought about it, let your husband pay for it."

"It's such a huge sum; if you spend it all at once, Old Ye will definitely find out. By then, you won't be able to explain it clearly."

"Mm-mm..." Xiao Ye shook her head like a rattle, "No, this money was deposited into my card. He doesn't know how I spend it. Unless I agree, he can't check my transaction records."

Chen Cheng shook his head in annoyance; this silly girl was thinking of his cheapskate father too simply.

With a hundred million in funds moving in and out, the bank's relationship manager would definitely notice. Would Ye Jinyan not know by then?

... One can only say that anything is possible.

Chen Cheng didn't want to drag this topic on any further, "It's settled. Keep the money Old Ye gave you for yourself. For our house, your husband will pay for it."

Xiao Ye pouted, rolled her eyes at him, and huffed, "You're so overbearing."

Chen Cheng smiled and shrugged, with a wicked grin, "You know my 'overbearing' side."

Ye Zhenzhen, who was on the side, rolled her eyes directly. Why did she suddenly find this guy so greasy?

Ye Zhenzhen pouted, got up, and went into the house, too lazy to watch these two flirting and being so greasy.

Just as the two were being lovey-dovey, Deng Xiaoqi walked out of the room.

Scum Cheng, while holding Xiao Ye and toying with her, looked at Deng Xiaoqi with a beaming smile.

"Sister Andy and I are going to Beijing next week. It's around the same time as your school opening, so why don't you come with us?"

Eighteen-year-old Deng Xiaoqi carried a natural, clear, and clean aura of a young girl. Her face was round and soft, with smooth, angular-free lines that exuded an innocent, naive charm.

Her brows and eyes were clear and bright. When her almond eyes curved, they carried a hint of a faint smile, and her gaze was as clean as the melting snow of early spring. With a slight lift of her eyebrows, she looked lively and vivid; even without makeup, she was exceptionally striking.

Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and her apple cheeks were full and round, exuding a natural girlish blush. When she smiled, she looked fresh and healing.

Her figure was slim, tall, and upright, dressed in a simple black and white matching shirt and skirt, which also carried a refreshing and neat girlish spirit.

Her whole being was full of a pure and clean quality, neither ostentatious nor intense, exceptionally comfortable and pleasing to look at.

"Really?" Deng Xiaoqi walked over, her high ponytail swinging back and forth, her tone full of surprise.

Seeing him talking to Deng Xiaoqi, Xiao Ye, being very tactful, got up and returned to the room, leaving Chen Cheng to the Little Girl.

Chen Cheng pulled her onto his lap. The girl wasn't shy either; she naturally raised her fair, lotus-root-like arms and wrapped them around Chen Cheng's neck.

Chen Cheng affectionately flicked her delicate nose, "Could this be fake?"

Deng Xiaoqi smiled sweetly, "Then I'll cancel my high-speed rail ticket in a bit."

"It's just as well, I don't want to travel with Qian Sanyi anyway."

"I keep feeling like he's been acting strange lately."

"Strange?" Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then thought about it. After all, he was Pei Yin's son, so he really should care a little.

"Is there anything wrong with him?"

"Hmm..." Deng Xiaoqi thought for a moment, then shook her head, "The way he looks at Miao Miao and me is strange. He was already quiet, but now he talks even less than before."

"As for other things... I can't put my finger on it, but the feeling he gives me is that he's been acting strange lately."

Lin Miaomiao...

Hmm?

Chen Cheng frowned. This kid was quite sharp.

Could it be... that he figured something out?

Or... did he discover that Pei Yin was not returning home at night?

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng's expression suddenly became quite interesting.

If he knew about this and could still remain silent.

Then this kid has some special abilities, or rather, some special issues.

Chen Cheng thought about it and decided to keep this matter to himself.

Qian Sanyi was still too green in front of him. Even if there really were some conspiracy, it wouldn't be able to stir up any waves.

"Forget it, let's ignore him."

"Is your mom going to see you off when school starts?"

Deng Xiaoqi shook her head, "She said a few days ago she'd take me to the station. She's very busy. Since the college entrance exam, I rarely see her."

Chen Cheng annoyedly pinched the silly girl. What else could Deng Half-City be busy with? Earning your tuition and your dowry, of course.

Raising a child alone, Deng Half-City is also a hard-fated person.

Chen Cheng deliberated for a moment, then voiced the idea he had had for some days, "I'm planning to open a private bar. How do you think it would be if your mom came to be the manager?"

"Huh? My mom?" Suddenly bringing this up, Deng Xiaoqi was a bit confused.

"Mm~" Chen Cheng nodded.

"Is that appropriate?" Deng Xiaoqi asked suspiciously.

"Silly girl, she's my mother-in-law, what's inappropriate about that?"

"Mother-in-law..." Deng Xiaoqi murmured the title, her pretty face blushing, "My mom doesn't even know about us yet."

Chen Cheng smiled brilliantly, one hand stroking her smooth, beautiful leg, and the other her face full of collagen, "Silly, what hasn't your mom seen?"

"A girl is different from a woman."

"I'm afraid she already figured it out the moment you returned from Beijing."

"She just didn't point it out for the sake of your feelings."

"Ah? No way?" Deng Xiaoqi immediately widened her eyes, her face flushed red.

Thinking about the fact that her old mother knew she was acting as a mistress for Brother Cheng, Deng Xiaoqi was so embarrassed she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"She didn't ask directly, but hasn't she hinted or probed?" Chen Cheng asked suspiciously.

This silly girl Deng Xiaoqi had her infatuated look written all over her face; Chen Cheng didn't believe Deng Half-City hadn't noticed something was wrong.

"Hmm..." Deng Xiaoqi pondered for a few seconds, then remembered something, "She doesn't seem to have said anything."

"But in the cabinet in my room's bathroom, a box of condoms suddenly appeared a few days ago..."

As Deng Xiaoqi spoke, she couldn't continue.

There were far more strange things than just this one.

After returning from the graduation trip, she had even eaten several types of supplements to replenish her vitality.

Chen Cheng understood now; Deng Half-City had tacitly approved of the relationship between Deng Xiaoqi and him.

She even often heard her mother using TV plots to educate her on matters between men and women.

Deng Half-City had wronged herself so much, even sacrificing her reputation, just to earn the nickname 'Half-City'.

Wasn't it just to shelter her daughter from the wind and rain?

Now, a golden son-in-law who was talented, handsome, rich, liked her daughter, wrote songs for her, and spent money to promote her as an artist was right in front of her.

And her daughter liked him so much.

How could the smooth and worldly-wise Deng Half-City refuse?

Oh no, how could she personally extinguish her own daughter's chance to reach the top in one step?

The news she knew was already enough to prove this man's extraordinary nature.

Chen Cheng smiled and pinched the corner of her mouth, "Anyway, mention it another day. Whether she's willing or not, your mom has to make the decision."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng kissed Deng Xiaoqi's alluring red lips and said softly, "Baby, it's getting late, let's go back to the room and rest."

"..."
