Fated Love With the Billionaire
Chapter 483: It Was Truly My Oversight

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: It Was Truly My Oversight

The daughter is beautiful and outstanding, and it’s understandable for the opposite sex to admire her, as everyone loves beauty. But Ye Yujun can’t accept that the person coveting Chen Ningxi is Zou Yong.

His vulgar thoughts not only disrupt the hierarchy but also cross the moral bottom line that a married man should uphold.

The more Ye Yujun thought about it, the angrier she became, and she suppressed her inner anger to instruct Chen Ningxi.

"Now that you know, keep your distance in the future, and be mindful of boundaries when you interact with him."

Even without Ye Yujun’s reminder, Chen Ningxi would pay attention to these things.

Ye Yujun’s face was stern, "The two families had such a good relationship, yet it had to come to this. This is not a decent person."

It was rare to hear her mother lose her temper and curse, which showed how angry she was now.

Chen Ningxi asked, "Should we tell Dad?"

Ye Yujun withdrew her gaze, considering that once Chen Weichuan knew the truth, he’d be just as furious, "We should tell him... subtly. Being stabbed in the back by a friend is the most hurtful. I worry your dad might not be able to resist hitting him."

This was also something Chen Ningxi worried about, and her brows inevitably showed concern.

Seeing Chen Ningxi’s thoughts, Ye Yujun said, "Ning Xi, don’t feel guilty. If you’re wronged outside, we should protect you. If the sky falls, we’ll hold it up, we’re your support. If you’re bullied, your dad and I won’t just sit back and do nothing."

Chen Ningxi nodded.

Ye Yujun said, "When Cheng comes back, you should advise him that he’s in a cooperative relationship with Zou Yong now, so he needs to be mindful of everything."

Chen Ningxi said, "Okay, when he comes back, I’ll definitely pass on the message."

Ye Yujun said, "It’s not that I’m thinking of people too poorly, but in this world, there are many people, including scoundrels and demons. Human nature isn’t as kind as it appears. The fact that he set his sights on you without us noticing proves how well he concealed himself in the past.

Always remember, a biting dog never barks.

We’ll discuss it with your dad; it’s best if we handle this matter ourselves."

Chen Ningxi said, "Got it, Mom."

Ye Yujun had her lie down to rest and only turned to leave the bedroom after tucking Chen Ningxi in.

Chen Ningxi lay in bed unable to sleep, and sent a WeChat message to Cheng Qiaobei.

Chen Ningxi: I just told Mom, she said she’d handle this matter with Dad.

north: Alright, follow Mom’s arrangement.

Chen Ningxi: How many days until you return?

north: Three more days, how are you? Still having stomach pain?

Chen Ningxi: I’m fine, no more pain today.

They chatted for a while before Cheng Qiaobei had to leave for work, reminding her to take more rest.

The next day.

Ye Yujun made fish soup and brought it to the table, then went to the bedroom to call, "Ning Xi, come and eat."

Lying in bed for too long, upon getting up, Ningxi felt light-headed and leaned against the wall as she walked, seeing Ye Yujun packing the insulated lunch box and hearing her say:

"Your dad loves my fish soup the most, I’m bringing it to him."

Chen Ningxi picked up a bowl, knowing her mother was probably going to talk to her father about Zou Yong.

Ye Yujun parked the car and walked into the office building with the insulated lunch box.

It was lunchtime, and people were heading downstairs to the cafeteria while Ye Yujun headed upstairs against the flow.

Jiang Xiaoxu from the secretary department saw the insulated lunch box in her hand and said:

"Sister Jun, bringing lunch to Mayor Chen?"

Ye Yujun replied gently, "Yes, bought fresh fish from the morning market, he loves fish soup, I simmered it all morning."

Jiang Xiaoxu said, "I just went to Mayor Chen’s office for his signature, he’s in."

They greeted each other in passing as Ye Yujun continued upstairs.

Chen Weichuan was reviewing content from a meeting, heard the knock on the door, and responded through the door panel.

"Come in."

Ye Yujun opened the door and entered. The person behind the desk was engrossed in the document until he heard Ye Yujun ask,

"Hungry?"

"!" Chen Weichuan then noticed it was Ye Yujun.

He promptly stood up, "Let’s eat in my lounge."

Ye Yujun followed him into his lounge.

The lounge was simply and modestly furnished. Chen Weichuan took the lunch box from her hand and placed it on the small table, "You haven’t eaten yet, have you?"

Ye Yujun said, "I ate."

Chen Weichuan pulled out a chair to sit down and poured a bowl of fish soup for Ye Yujun first after opening the lid.

"Here, my dear, have some."

Ye Yujun said, "You have it. There’s not much, and there’s more at home."

Chen Weichuan insisted that Ye Yujun have half a bowl before taking the used spoon from her.

"How’s Ning Xi today?" Chen Weichuan asked while eating.

Ye Yujun said, "She’s doing well today, energetic, and hasn’t mentioned any stomach discomfort."

Hearing this, Chen Weichuan felt at ease.

After he finished eating, Ye Yujun began packing the lunch box, "In the future, when meeting with Zou Yong, don’t always bring up Ning Xi. You know, some things we parents can say, but it’s not appropriate for an outsider to discuss a girl’s affairs."

Reviewing his conduct, Chen Weichuan proactively admitted his oversight, "I was thoughtless."

In fact, it wasn’t really Chen Weichuan who initiated, but their conversation naturally led there. As she finished packing the lunch box, Ye Yujun said, "I’m not blaming you, but Zou Yong is Ning Xi’s elder as well as of the opposite sex. If someone with intent were to overhear, they might misunderstand the relationship between Ning Xi and Zou Yong."

Chen Weichuan frowned, "Nonsense, what special relationship."

Ye Yujun said, "Don’t dismiss it. Apart from us and Cheng, he’s the one who cares most for Ning Xi. Think about whether he’s especially attentive to Ning Xi.

Because of this special attention, it looks odd to outsiders.

Nowadays, with advanced media, a simple video paired with text can ruin someone. In future gatherings with Zou Yong, try to prevent Ning Xi from attending alone, and even more so from meeting him alone."

She said a lot, and from her words, Chen Weichuan gleaned the critical information. As he thought it over and looked at Ye Yujun again, her expression was unusually serious, not merely casual talk.

From her hints, as he thought it over carefully, Zou Yong’s treatment of Ning Xi indeed appeared unusual. If it weren’t for their family connections, Zou Yong’s repeated exceptions for Ning Xi would seem more like a romantic pursuit.

Thinking of this, Chen Weichuan’s expression darkened with displeasure.

Seeing that he understood, Ye Yujun said, "I’ve already told Ning Xi, in any future matters, don’t trouble Zou Yong."

"You did well," Chen Weichuan said meaningfully, "It really was my negligence."

Ye Yujun said, "Old Chen, as long as we’re aware, our demeanor will hold up."

Chen Weichuan said, "I’m aware."

Ye Yujun picked up the insulated bag, saying, "It’s lunchtime, you should rest a bit. I need to buy groceries, Ning Xi wants to eat pork and celery dumplings tonight."

Chen Weichuan saw her to the door, "Drive safely."

Ye Yujun said, "I know."

Chen Weichuan closed the door, his eyes showing a complex emotion.

A week later, Cheng Qiaobei flew back to Danjiang, and Chen Ningxi was back to her regular work schedule. The first thing he did upon arriving home was to pick her up from work.

Seeing the Cayenne parked at the office entrance, Chen Ningxi smiled as she walked to the car.
