Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Digging Your Own Grave?

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the handsome face of the man, a flicker of surprise passing through her limpid eyes.

Tie it for him? Is he okay?

In such a situation, even if she was highly reluctant inside, she couldn’t refuse.

This was the gift she had chosen for the man, and if she were to refuse in front of the elders and children, she would come off as somewhat pretentious and coy.

Just tie it, what’s the big deal?

"Okay," Ye Zhenzhen voiced in response.

After receiving a reply, Song Jinze slightly raised his eyebrows, hung the dark purple tie around his neck, strode over to the woman with a faint smile in his narrowed ink-black eyes, "Thank you."

The two were very close, the man’s strong presence and the crisp, light fragrance on him invading her nostrils without warning.

Plus that deeply seductive ’thank you’ made Ye Zhenzhen feel as if the placid waters of her heart had been disturbed by an unexpected surge...

She swallowed softly, didn’t reply, and with her head lowered, her delicate and white fingers touched the tie hanging on the man’s chest, methodically tying him a Windsor knot.

Madam Song smiled secretly from the side, indeed, anything her daughter-in-law picked looked good.

Although Old Master Song was annoyed with Song Jinze, seeing that this brat seemed to have a not-so-bad relationship with Zhenzhen, he chuckled while holding Xiao Chen, "Aiyo, Xiao Chen, isn’t the thing mom bought the best looking, right?"

Everyone in the family knew that Song Jinze had always only liked plain-colored clothes, black, white, and gray.

Now that he could accept such an unusually bold color, it was clear that it wasn’t an issue of color but who had chosen it.

Thinking thus, Old Master Song felt slightly more relieved.

Song Yuchen watched Ye Zhenzhen tie the tie for dad, his little fair face beaming with joy, he nodded, "Of course, Ye Zhenzhen is so pretty, anything she buys must also be the prettiest."

Xiao Chen thought: Ye Zhenzhen tied the tie for dad, and dad smiled at Ye Zhenzhen, they shouldn’t fight and talk about divorce anymore, right!

After the tie was done, Ye Zhenzhen subtly stepped back two paces, feeling as if her heart had uncontrollably raced, beyond the grasp of her brain...

She comforted herself inwardly, it’s okay, Zhenzhen, you just haven’t tied a tie for a man before.

What big scenes haven’t you seen, don’t be nervous.

Song Jinze noticed the subtle changes on the woman’s exquisitely small face, his lips slightly curving into an ambiguous smile, he asked in a light voice, "Do you think it looks good?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

This purchase was not meant to be tied by her, yet he actually asked if she thought it looked good?

She unconsciously shook her head then nodded, "Hmm, it’s not bad."

That tie really wasn’t good looking, even Ye Zhenzhen herself found it ugly.

Pretty was the tens of thousands of yuan she’d spent, okay...

Song Yuchen enthusiastically looked up and exclaimed, "Wow~ dad, you look really cool with this color tie on!"

Ye Zhenzhen was amused by the little guy’s exaggerated tone; she lifted her eyes slightly, her eyebrows picking up, and inwardly admitted, it wasn’t the tie that was attractive, it was the man wearing it.

She had always been generous with her praise of others, and indeed the man was truly good-looking.

Even wearing such an ugly tie, the aristocratic and elegant noble son’s demeanor was still present.

Such a demeanor was innate to him, and with a superior environment, it was something no vulgar object could cover up.

Madam Song also nodded, "Mhm, whatever Zhenzhen picks looks good."

Old Master Song also hummed, "The person who bought the tie is good-looking."

This brat was naturally handsome, but Old Master Song was too lazy to compliment him, fearing any more compliments would inflate the brat’s ego to the heavens.

Song Jinze: ...

As smart as that woman was, he probably guessed why she chose that color.

But, he couldn’t help but tease her a little.

A servant came to inform that dinner was ready.

Everyone went to the dining room with a smile on their face to eat.

Song Jinze glanced around and, still not seeing his father, knew without asking that he must have changed his fishing spot again. He didn’t ask any further.

Madam Song was quite open-minded about this. At their age, it was good to have a hobby, and as long as he was healthy, she didn’t interfere too much with her husband’s activities.

Fishing was just a pastime, after all. Let him enjoy it if he likes it.

Old Master Song’s recent attention had been all on the family of three from Song Jinze’s household, and he didn’t seem to mind too much about his son not coming home for days. Whether he came back or not was just the same to him; it had no effect on him.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner very much.

After dinner.

Ye Zhenzhen took Xiao Chen by the hand, indicating that they were going to leave, but Old Master Song looked at Song Jinze and thought about how this rascal hadn’t been doing any ’proper business’ in Ancheng lately.

He directly said, "Why don’t you all stay overnight here tonight?"

Then, Old Master Song touched Xiao Chen’s cheeks and smiled affectionately, "Little guy, how about sleeping with Great Grandfather tonight?"

Xiao Chen’s dark eyes twirled as he looked at Ye Zhenzhen and then at his Great Grandfather. In a sweet, childish voice, he asked, "Great Grandfather, but I have to go to school tomorrow."

And he wanted his mother to tell him a story tonight.

Old Master Song leaned in close to the little guy, pressing his forehead against Xiao Chen’s, "No worries, tomorrow morning Grandma can take you to school."

"No, I want Mommy to take me."

Madam Song smiled, "Then how about Grandma and Mommy take Xiao Chen to school together, is that okay?"

Having lived under the same roof with Old Master Song for many years, once he spoke up, even if Madam Song didn’t understand, she would support him in the conversation. She also wanted to have them stay for the night.

The house had not been this lively in a long time.

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t think too much about it, simply finding it natural for Old Master Song to have affection for children at his age.

Besides, Xiao Chen was such a cute and lovable little fellow.

She thought, staying overnight wouldn’t be a problem.

She squatted down and said to Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, be good. We’ll rest here tonight, and tomorrow morning, Mommy can still take you to school. Is that okay?"

Xiao Chen nodded, "Okay then." Turning to Old Master Song, he said, "Great Grandfather, the story about the hairy monkey you told me this afternoon, can you continue telling me about it?"

"Of course, let’s go take a bath first, and then Great Grandfather will tell you a story, is that okay?"

"Yay!"

The grandfather and grandson joyfully went back to their room.

Song Jinze stood to the side, his gaze falling on the woman before him with a subtle heaviness, imbued with significance.

Madam Song laughed and said, "Zhenzhen, it’s getting late, you should hurry up and go wash up and rest. You two can sleep in the upstairs bedroom tonight."

"Oh, okay."

The upstairs bedroom was the room she had rested in when she returned that afternoon. It was Song Jinze’s bedroom before he got married.

It was only then that Ye Zhenzhen realized—no, with Xiao Chen sleeping with Grandfather, what about her here...

Damn, she had walked right into her own trap!
