Chapter 17: Chapter 17: You’re Still My Favorite
Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Ruofeng was shocked as he watched Zhao Gushen holding Ye Xiaomo, as if struck by lightning.
He finally realized whom Ye Xiaomo resembled.
He was almost the spitting image of Zhao Gushen, like a miniature version carved out of the same mold!
But by the looks of Zhao Gushen, he seemed unaware.
Of course, he was so used to looking at himself in the mirror every day, it was hard for him to notice.
Xiao Ruofeng hurriedly said to Ye Fei, "You can sign up for the competition directly on the official website. Since you’re already here, just use my computer to register."
"That’s too much trouble. We’ll register ourselves when we get back," Ye Fei replied, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"No worries, if you register here, I’ll approve it for you right away," Xiao Ruofeng chuckled.
He didn’t mind using his influence in front of Zhao Gushen.
After all, who was he doing this for?
For Zhao Gushen!
Seeing Ye Xiaomo look so much like Zhao Gushen, Xiao Ruofeng’s instinct told him there was something up.
"Sorry for interrupting your work," Ye Fei said apologetically.
"It’s fine. It’s lunch break now, so I’m not working," Xiao Ruofeng explained.
During lunch break, he could do whatever he wanted, and Zhao Gushen couldn’t say anything.
"Heh." Zhao Gushen sneered but didn’t say anything further.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Ye Xiaomo opened his arms and reached out to Xiao Ruofeng sweetly.
Zhao Gushen thought this brat was so ungrateful, attaching himself to whoever benefits him the most!
Ignoring Ye Xiaomo’s enthusiasm for Xiao Ruofeng, Zhao Gushen held Ye Xiaomo and walked away.
Ye Xiaomo, with a cherubic face, joyfully asked Zhao Gushen, "Uncle, are you jealous? Don’t worry, I like you the most."
"Sweet talker!" Zhao Gushen said disdainfully.
But his hand tightened instinctively around Ye Xiaomo.
Ye Fei saw this and quickly followed.
Why was he walking away with her son like that!
Unbeknownst to them, the employees around were stunned.
"What... what’s the relationship between that kid and the CEO?"
"They look so much alike. Could... could he be the CEO’s illegitimate child?"
"Shh! How dare you say that! But really, they do look alike..."
"I just heard the kid call him uncle. Could he be the CEO’s nephew?"
"Impossible. The CEO’s brother is still single. Where would the kid come from?"
"Maybe he’s the CEO’s brother’s..."
Naturally, Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei were oblivious to these speculations.
They entered the elevator, and Xiao Ruofeng casually asked, "You always seem to be with the child. I haven’t seen your husband."
Ye Fei awkwardly forced a smile and then said, "I’m single."
Xiao Ruofeng wanted to ask whether she was divorced or had a child out of wedlock.
But he remembered they had only met twice, so it wasn’t appropriate to ask directly.
Even though Xiao Ruofeng had his own office, most of the time he worked at a desk in the open space outside Zhao Gushen’s office.
To avoid gossip and rumors.
Xiao Ruofeng led Ye Fei and Ye Xiaomo into his office.
"Is there anything you’d like to eat for lunch? I’m about to order meals for the CEO anyway. Since we returned late, the CEO plans to keep it simple," Xiao Ruofeng said to Ye Fei.
"That’s really too kind. We’ll leave after registering, and you don’t need to order for us," Ye Fei quickly replied.
"No worries, it’s on the company, so I don’t mind," Xiao Ruofeng said, then glanced at the door behind him, relieved that Zhao Gushen wasn’t there.
In the end, Ye Fei obliged and had the same meal as Zhao Gushen and Xiao Ruofeng.
