CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 97: EACH GETS WHAT THEY WANT

As night deepened, in the Ye Family’s laboratory, a man and a woman passionately kissed.

"Uh... President Ye, you’re about to get engaged, isn’t this bad?" At the height of emotion, the woman suddenly gasped, pushing away the man holding her: "If people find out, how can I stay in A City!"

Ye Mingchen looked at her delicate face, wanting to devour her whole: "How can we be discovered? Even if we are, you don’t need to worry. At worst, we’ll change cities, and I’ll buy a house to keep you. How does that sound?"

"It’s easy for the wealthy President Ye to say." Her hand pressed against his chest, her eyes smiling profoundly: "I dare not mess with the Gu family’s young lady, better let it go! I wish President Ye happiness in your impending wedding."

As she spoke, she was about to get up and leave.

"Wait, Shuying!" Seeing she was really going to leave, Ye Mingchen pulled her back into his arms: "What are you scared of her for? She’s just an illegitimate daughter, even married she can’t control me! If you’re willing, I can find a way to divorce her and marry you, how about that?"

You Shuying giggled twice, "I wouldn’t dare to hope so much, if even the Second Miss Gu can’t match you, how could I, a girl from an ordinary family, dream of such a thing?"

She wasn’t foolish, knowing with Ye Mingchen’s vast family business, it’s impossible for him to marry her.

"What do you want then?" Ye Mingchen’s eyes lowered to her ample chest; compared to Gu Wanwan, her chest was so much more impressive, "Just say the word, and I’ll give it to you."

"Hehe... Since President Ye put it this way, I won’t be coy." You Shuying looped her arms around his neck, "I want this laboratory! Li Yue has been getting more outrageous lately, even Brother Chen is getting scolded by him. At this rate, I can’t stand it..."

Ye Mingchen paused: "Just that simple?"

He thought You Shuying might ask for a house, a car, or money, but unexpectedly, she wanted to be the director of the lab?

You Shuying nodded, "Just that simple!"

Ye Mingchen smiled faintly, "Okay, I promise you, tomorrow I’ll make you the lab director! As for Li Yue’s fate, you decide, how’s that?"

You Shuying thought for a moment then said: "Let him go! You issuing the order would be better, or else they might think I’m the one up to mischief. Lately, I’ve been having constant friction with him."

Ye Mingchen reached out to flick her nose, "It’s clearly you up to mischief! I should punish you, you little rascal."

"President Ye, ugh..."

"Still calling me President Ye? Call me hubby."

"Mm, hubby..."

"Good girl."

Under the soft moonlight streaming in, their bodies intertwined here.

At ten p.m., Ye Mingchen drove back home.

On his phone, Gu Wanwan’s missed calls seemed to have turned from one into fifteen, without him knowing when.

"Mingchen, why are you back so late?" Old Master Ye looked at Ye Mingchen rushing back from outside and asked.

Ye Mingchen replied pleasantly, "A friend invited me to dinner, got back a bit late."

Old Master Ye nodded, inadvertently noticing the kiss mark on his neck under his shirt, a trace of displeasure in his eyes: "The engagement party is in a few days, prepare well, don’t embarrass us!"

Ye Mingchen responded with a smile, "Mm, don’t worry, Dad! It won’t happen."

Old Master Ye sneered, "Better be, the Ye Family can’t afford to lose face a second time!"

Ye Mingchen hesitated going upstairs, knowing Old Master Ye was talking about the incident at Gu Ningyue’s birthday banquet last time.

Regarding that matter, he could only remain silent and retreat to his room.

After closing the door, Ye Mingchen returned Gu Wanwan’s call.

On the other end, Gu Wanwan answered almost instantly: "Why are you returning my call only now? Where have you been?"

Even though she realized what she wanted, Gu Wanwan still struggled to control her emotions when facing Ye Mingchen’s current attitude.

Compared to You Shuying’s captivating allure, thoughtful and sensible demeanor, Gu Wanwan now felt like plain water to him, so dull he wasn’t even interested in pretending.

"Went out for dinner with friends, what’s up? Got something urgent?"

"Can’t I call you for no reason?" Gu Wanwan held back, a pain in her voice: "Brother Mingchen, you didn’t treat me like this before!"

"I’m tired today, if there’s nothing urgent, let’s talk tomorrow!" Ye Mingchen casually hung his clothes on the rack, his tone emotionless: "You’re pregnant, don’t stay up late, rest early!"

Gu Wanwan held onto the phone, not believing this was the same Ye Mingchen who once sweet-talked her.

She didn’t know how long she’d been silent.

"Beeep... beeep..."

Ye Mingchen hung up the phone, not even bothering to send her a message over WeChat.

Looking at the empty screen, Gu Wanwan felt as if she’d been punched hard in the chest.

Where did she go wrong? Why was everything fine before, but now things are like this?

Clearly, clearly her mother did the same thing, didn’t she?

Why is it different for her, even before marriage, it’s already like this?

No, she can’t let things continue like this, she must figure out a way to make Ye Mingchen return to how he was...

Within the Ye family’s villa, Ye Mingchen chatted away eagerly on his phone.

"Little vixen, what are you doing? Have you missed me?"

"Oh, President Ye is home?"

"Yeah! Couldn’t I immediately look for you upon reaching home? How’s that, good to you, right? I even hung up her call after saying a few words, touched?"

"I’m so touched then, hahahaha..."

"Not that obvious, why don’t you show me?"

"How should I show? President Ye, please guide me."

"Next time, show me in such stockings, alright?"

Ye Mingchen sent over a picture, the woman in it striking seductive poses, looking very provocative.

"This is too embarrassing, better not!"

"Seems like you really tricked me just now."

"Haha, does President Ye need me to wear it? I think Second Miss Gu would look prettier!"

"Don’t mention her; compared to you, she’s nothing."

Seeing Ye Mingchen’s message, You Shuying suddenly felt a surge of complex emotions.

This is probably men! When you can’t get it, it’s always the best.

Once you have it, when the novelty wears off, they search for the next target.

Though that Gu Wanwan seduced her brother-in-law, she’s not a good person either, but now it’s clear, Ye Mingchen definitely isn’t the "victim" he claimed, seduced by Gu Wanwan!

But forget it, You Shuying smiled, it’s just mutual need!

As long as she obtains what she wants, this transaction will be worthwhile.
