Chapter 841: Chapter 841: Not Inferior to Ye Fei
Ye Ning hadn’t expected it; this was really too much of a coincidence.
Today was the very first time Zhao Guqing had just met Ye Fei, and by evening he’d already gotten acquainted with her.
You really had to say, what a coincidence.
While Ye Ning was still mulling it over, Zhao Guqing said again, "But that Ye Fei..."
Ye Ning lifted her eyes to look over.
By now, without realizing it, Zhao Guqing had already gotten very close to Ye Ning.
They were so close they could feel each other’s breath.
She saw Zhao Guqing tug his lips into a rather mocking smile and say, "I really don’t like her much."
Zhao Guqing glanced at Ye Ning and said, "Too fake. She’s not the same kind of person as us at all."
Ye Ning’s brows and eyes moved slightly, and she thought, sure enough, just like she’d imagined before.
The Zhao Family couldn’t possibly think highly of Ye Fei.
Seeing how Zhao Gushen’s parents and the two elders of the Zhao Family protected Ye Fei so much, she had even thought the Zhao Family was truly that different from other wealthy families.
Now, just from seeing Zhao Guqing’s attitude, she knew that probably only Zhao Gushen’s parents and the two elders were a bit different.
Most people in the Zhao Family treated Ye Fei just the way she’d expected.
This was what was normal.
Ye Ning felt she hadn’t been wrong, and instantly relaxed a lot.
Because facts proved she was still right.
"But I really didn’t expect you to be Ye Fei’s older sister." Zhao Guqing chuckled lightly and also picked up his wine glass.
Ye Ning’s gaze flickered slightly as she said, "Now you know, so... are you planning to distance yourself from me to avoid suspicion?"
Zhao Guqing let out a light laugh and said, "What’s there to avoid? Ye Fei is Ye Fei, you are you. I don’t have anything to do with Ye Fei. At most you could force it and say we’re sort of uncle and sister-in-law, but I’m not familiar with her and I don’t like her either."
"It’s rare I meet someone I actually like; why should I keep my distance from you because of her, for nothing." Zhao Guqing said.
Those words made Ye Ning’s heart race, and even her breathing grew heavy.
It’s rare he meets someone he likes?
So the one Zhao Guqing was talking about, the person he likes—is it her?
Ye Ning felt that it was.
But she also felt she still needed a definite answer from Zhao Guqing.
Yet even so, her heart was already flying, excitement bubbling up uncontrollably.
Zhao Guqing likes her!
And they’d only just met for the first time.
And Zhao Guqing already likes her.
Shows he took a fancy to her at first sight.
Zhao Guqing could be considered to have fallen in love with her at first sight, right?
Ye Ning didn’t feel there was anything abnormal about being the target of Zhao Guqing’s love at first sight.
This was perfectly normal.
She was pretty, and over the years her temperament had improved quite a bit too.
To have Zhao Guqing fall for her at first sight wasn’t something people couldn’t wrap their heads around.
Besides, if even Ye Fei could make Zhao Gushen fall in love at first sight...
Why couldn’t she make Zhao Guqing fall at first sight?
Although Ye Fei had never clearly told her that Zhao Gushen had fallen for her at first sight...
Ye Ning felt that if it had been feelings built over time, then given Ye Fei’s "qualities," the longer Zhao Gushen knew her, the less likely he’d be to like her.
The only thing about Ye Fei that could still be considered praiseworthy was that face of hers.
If Zhao Gushen liked Ye Fei, he must have first seen that face, thought it looked good, and been aroused by her looks.
Otherwise, you think it was her personal charm that attracted Zhao Gushen?
Ye Ning raised the wine glass in her hand to Zhao Guqing. "Then let’s each date our own person and ignore them."
Zhao Guqing clinked his glass lightly against hers and said, "Of course."
Ye Ning showed a shy expression.
The corners of her eyes even faintly brimmed with springtime affection.
Finally, her bad luck had run its course and she was turning the corner.
Her being with Zhao Guqing was in no way inferior to Ye Fei!
***
Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen had no idea that in just this short period of time, Zhao Guqing and Ye Ning had already gotten tangled up together.
Although Zhao Gushen had sent someone to keep an eye on Zhao Guqing, intel didn’t come back that fast.
His people still had to continue tailing them. Even if they wanted to report back, it would be tomorrow at the earliest.
Right now, Zhao Guqing was only flirting with Ye Ning; there wasn’t any further suspicious movement yet.
It hadn’t reached a point where Xiao Mo and Ye Fei were in danger.
Naturally, Zhao Gushen’s people didn’t need to rush to report.
How could they go running back with every tiny development?
They just secretly recorded footage of Zhao Guqing and Ye Ning being together.
Tomorrow they’d send it straight to Zhao Gushen.
At this time, Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei were at home.
The little guy had gone home with them too.
Zhao Gushen had really wanted to leave the little guy at the old house.
But since he was taking Ye Fei to see Zhao Dingli tomorrow, if he left the little guy at the old house, they’d have to detour there first tomorrow, wasting extra time for nothing.
So he’d brought the little guy back with them.
If the little guy knew that Zhao Gushen was willing to bring him home for this reason, he’d definitely find a way to roast Zhao Gushen right in front of Ye Fei.
But for now, the little guy didn’t know.
It had also taken quite some effort for Zhao Gushen to coax the little guy into going back to the bedroom to sleep.
He finally had some free time—his and Ye Fei’s two-person world.
Zhao Gushen sighed silently in his heart, feeling exhausted.
He and Ye Fei really had skipped the whole dating stage and gone straight to raising a kid.
They couldn’t even enjoy the sweetest two-person world.
It was really frustrating.
Right now, he was on the bed holding Ye Fei in his arms, using the projector to play a movie.
They were watching a romance film.
Foreign romances tended to be more explicit, especially these artsy ones.
They watched as the male and female leads embraced, and the scenes grew more and more intense.
The camera moved in close as the heroine’s slender fingers slowly slid from the hero’s chest down to his abs.
The male lead’s body was in excellent shape.
His abs were sharply defined, yet his waist was narrow; just looking at it made one feel a bit flushed.
The heroine’s fingertips were gliding inch by inch along the lines of his abs.
The hero’s abs were beaded with a fine sheen of sweat.
Ye Fei couldn’t help swallowing.
She wasn’t so far gone as to drool over the male lead’s body and looks.
Compared to foreigners, she could better appreciate the looks of domestic men.
Of course, it wasn’t that she couldn’t appreciate Western handsomeness.
It was just that appreciation was one thing; the homegrown kind of handsome fit her aesthetics better.
Like Zhao Gushen, for example.
In Ye Fei’s eyes, in both looks and figure, Zhao Gushen was better than the hero of this movie.
Even though this male lead was a male-god-level actor with loads of fans in many countries.
She still preferred Zhao Gushen.
Thinking of that, Ye Fei couldn’t resist turning her head.
And she happened to catch Zhao Gushen’s side profile.
Among Asians, Zhao Gushen’s features were considered very defined, yet softer than Westerners’.
His eyebrows were thick and needed no grooming to achieve the "sword brows" effect male actors had when they were on camera.
The distance between his brows and eyes was shorter than most people’s, and his double eyelids were wide, making his eyes look deeper than the average person’s.
For a grown man, his eyelashes were long and curled, and especially dense.
Right now, watching the movie, his brows and eyes were relaxed, much softer than usual, not as stern as he looked at the office.
