Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 291 What do you want me to do?

Chapter 291: Chapter 291 What do you want me to do?

What does it mean that it’s okay if she prepared it?

Before Ye Zhenzhen could ponder more, she realized the man standing at the door was already striding towards her with his long legs, step by step. As she lifted her gaze, she met his deep, ink-like eyes, and for some reason, she felt a twinge of guilt in her heart.

Could it be he really misunderstood something? Was this man going to...

"Song Jinze, you..."

The man was already standing in front of her.

With a sense of guilt and embarrassment, Ye Zhenzhen curved her lips into a smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. She averted her gaze and pointed at the large gift box on the bed, "This really isn’t prepared by me, please don’t overthink it..."

Please don’t, please don’t. Although she was this man’s legal wife, and what he said didn’t seem to be wrong, but this... this...

The man was already leaning towards her. He wasn’t going to take this seriously, was he?

Ye Zhenzhen’s body started to lean back slowly, "Song Jinze, what... what are you doing..."

She leaned back until she had hit the bed, with nowhere else to go...

"Tsk!" Song Jinze chuckled, bending over with his arms bracing on the bed, trapping the woman between them. He hooked his lips lightly and then slowly moved closer to her ear to whisper, "What do you think I’m thinking? Or is it that you want me to do something? Hm?"

The man’s voice had always been pleasant to hear, but it was always cold and indifferent before. Recently, it had become gentler, and now, with them being so close, his voice was soft and unintentionally provocative, making her ears heat up.

Ye Zhenzhen felt her heartbeat quicken, the warmth in her ears spreading quickly to her cheeks. She propped herself up on her elbows and leaned back further, about to push the man away when he stood up.

He now held a child’s clothing in his hand, "Go take a hot spring bath, I will use the bathroom in a bit."

After sending the man away, Ye Zhenzhen let out a huge sigh of relief. She patted her chest lightly with her hand to calm her overly tense emotions.

In her past life, she had seen every big scene there was, yet she couldn’t handle it when it came to her own matters.

Indeed, acting and personal experience are different after all.

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and quickly stored away the gift box on the bed. Su Xi’s good intentions were not something she could make use of right now. Considering her current relationship with Song Jinze, it was really not suitable to go through with this...

It was way too awkward, right!

...

Friday the next day.

When Ye Zhenzhen woke up, she was the only one in the room. She turned her head to glance at the other half of the bed, which clearly showed signs of having been slept in, but the man was nowhere to be seen.

She picked up her phone and looked at it, it was nearly 9 a.m.; there was a WeChat message from Xiaowen and one from Song Jinze.

She casually swiped and opened the WeChat message from Song Jinze;

[I’m going to the company with President Cheng to handle some matters. After we’re done, I’ll come back to pick up you and Xiao Chen. You didn’t hang up the clothes in your suitcase last night, don’t bother with them, I’ve arranged for someone to send new ones over.]

Speaking of clothes, Ye Zhenzhen’s gaze immediately fell on the suitcase not far from the bed. The suitcase was open, and the clothes inside looked messy. After taking a hot spring bath last night and returning to her room, she had so much on her mind that she didn’t pay any attention to these details.

Last night, after hearing the man say he was going to use the bathroom, she went straight to the hot springs. When she finished and passed by the living room on the first floor on her way back, she heard the man speaking fluent French in a low voice in one of the rooms.

She overheard a couple of sentences unintentionally and knew he was in a meeting.

At the same time, she seemed to realize that when the man said he was going to use the bathroom earlier, it wasn’t really because he needed to use it, but rather it seemed he knew she would feel embarrassed to take a hot spring bath, so that’s why he said it...

After returning to the bedroom later, Ye Zhenzhen inexplicably felt a warmth in her heart. She wasn’t sure if it was because of the hot spring, but in any case, she had a dreamless night and slept very well.

Seeing the man’s WeChat message, she couldn’t help but marvel at his meticulous insight, as well as his thoughtfulness and thoroughness.

She replied with a message, "Thank you!"

Then she looked at Xiaowen’s WeChat message,

"Sister Zhenzhen, the program team has arranged to leave for the airport at 11 a.m. Since it’s the weekend tomorrow and the day after, it’s fine if you want to stay and continue enjoying Jincheng. Just send me a message."

The decision for the program’s guests to return to Jiangcheng had only been made this morning to prevent the guests’ itineraries from being leaked.

Yesterday, Han Jiangxue and Shen Yibo had already left the program team ahead of time, and today Xu Wanjia said she wanted to stay in Jincheng with Xiao Yiyi. Hearing this, An Xi also decided to stay in Jincheng for two more days with Gu Xiaoran.

Participating in this variety show had finally eased the tension between An Xi and Gu Xiaoran, and they had begun to understand and feel closer to each other. She wanted to spend a couple more days alone with Gu Xiaoran outside, not willing to return to Jiangcheng so soon.

In the end, only Lin Qianqian and her daughter were confirmed to return.

Lin Qianqian also wanted to take Fang Xiaoyu around Jincheng, but they had to prepare for joining a cast, and time was tight, so they had no choice but to go back to Jiangcheng with the program team.

The program team thought since that was the case, it wasn’t necessary to continue filming, so they decided to conclude that morning.

After all, there was no live broadcast yesterday, and even if they filmed today, they wouldn’t capture anything interesting, so it would be cut during the recorded broadcast anyway.

Ultimately, Xiaowen sent a direct WeChat message to Ye Zhenzhen.

After some thought, Ye Zhenzhen replied to Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, I also want to stay here with Xiao Chen for a while, so I’m not going back with the program team."

Since the man had said he would come back to pick her and Xiao Chen up later, of course, she wouldn’t be able to leave with the program team.

Xiaowen quickly replied, "Alright, does Sister Zhenzhen have any other items besides your phone? I can bring them to the hot spring villa area for you. Can you come out to get them?"

"I’ll meet you at the hotel’s front desk, don’t run off."

Xiaowen, "Okay, Sister Zhenzhen, I’ll wait for you."

Just as she finished reading Xiaowen’s WeChat message, Song Jinze’s phone call came through, and Ye Zhenzhen pressed to answer,

"Woken up?"

The man’s low and lazy voice had a comfortable ease.

Ye Zhenzhen responded, "Yes, I’m awake, thank you."

Even though she had already expressed her thanks in the WeChat message, she still wanted to voice her gratitude, to thank him for his thoughtfulness and respect.

Song Jinze chuckled lowly, "Mrs. Song suddenly being so polite and courteous towards me is something I have to get used to. You don’t have to be formal with me. Go freshen up, I had someone send clothes to your room."

"President!"

Before Ye Zhenzhen could say anything else, she heard Secretary Zhang calling out on the other end of the phone.

"You go ahead, Xiao Chen and I will wait for you here."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Song Jinze turned and walked towards the conference room, with Secretary Zhang trailing from a distance, "President Cheng is waiting for you to make a decision, he’s quite anxious, I..."

Secretary Zhang’s subtext: President, please don’t blame me, I had no choice!

Song Jinze glanced sidelong at Secretary Zhang, "Are you his secretary?"
