Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 370: Date~

Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Date~

After they left the restaurant, Song Jinze’s car was already parked at the entrance.

Throughout the entire meal, he hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol, while Ye Zhenzhen and Da Mi drank a bit more, but both were in good shape and showed no signs of drunkenness.

Ye Zhenzhen asked Da Mi, "Where are you living now? Is it convenient for you to get home?"

"It’s convenient. I live not far from here. Do you have any plans this..."

Song Jinze immediately noticed something off about the other person’s words, placed his hand on Zhenzhen’s waist, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "This afternoon, Zhenzhen and I have a date, so we won’t be dropping you off. Take your time."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

This man was acting a bit unusual today, and she was struggling to adapt.

Da Mi looked at Zhenzhen and nodded slightly, "Okay, then. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

"Zhenzhen will be fine with me; you should worry about yourself!"

As he spoke, Song Jinze opened the door to the passenger seat, his tone quickly transitioning from the previous coldness to tenderness, "Zhenzhen, get in the car, it’s cold outside."

After Ye Zhenzhen got into the car and said goodbye to Da Mi, Song Jinze silently closed the car door.

Da Mi took a step closer toward Song Jinze, blocking his path, "Song Jinze, treat Zhenzhen well."

As Zhenzhen’s childhood playmate and elder brother, he genuinely cared for Zhenzhen, but to the man’s ears, these words sounded like a warning and reluctance.

Song Jinze’s eyes narrowed, and he responded with a cold voice, "Just take care of yourself. My woman doesn’t need others to worry about her."

Da Mi raised an eyebrow, "It better be so!"

Song Jinze didn’t bother with him any longer and walked around the car to get in.

As the car drove away from the restaurant entrance, Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Da Mi, still standing there, through the rearview mirror. Her mind was filled with the words Da Mi had spoken and their childhood.

So, if the original owner knew such impressive people, why was she still played by someone like Han Jiangxue?

Could it be because the original owner’s role was that of a mean girl in the book, so the plot didn’t allow for it?

Ye Zhenzhen received a voice call from Dong Yan, who inquired if she had time tomorrow, wanting to meet regarding the GK endorsement.

Upon hearing about the GK endorsement, Ye Zhenzhen instantly perked up and responded immediately, "I’m free, whenever you’re convenient."

"Then how about we meet at GK tomorrow morning at 10 AM?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "No problem."

After hanging up, Song Jinze, who was driving, asked her, "Got something tomorrow?"

"Yeah, Yibo’s mom wants to meet, about the GK endorsement thing..." As she spoke, Ye Zhenzhen seemed to realize something. Dong Yan is related to GK?

Just a few days ago, Liu Rui had mentioned that Chen Ke knew GK’s sales director, Han Dongxu. Today, she received a call from Dong Yan, yet the name Dong Yan seemed to have no connection with GK!

Song Jinze nodded slightly and made a U-turn at the upcoming intersection.

Ye Zhenzhen asked him, "Where are we going now?"

"On a date."

Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes flashed with surprise, "A date?"

"Yeah, didn’t I mention it just now?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

He had said it to Da Mi earlier, and she had thought he was just competing with Da Mi.

At this point, Ye Zhenzhen actually wanted to say: President Song, you really don’t need to compete with Da Mi; we are just friends after all.

But the words lingered on her lips, and she swallowed them back.

How could it not sound like she was explaining to him? What if he said he wasn’t competing, or worse, accused her of being presumptuous?

...

Lantai Mountain.

By the time Song Jinze parked the car at the foot of the mountain, two hours had already passed, and the sound of him unbuckling his seatbelt woke up a sleeping Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen opened her eyes groggily and looked out the car window at the scenery, "Why are we here?"

As she spoke, she also attempted to unbuckle her seatbelt and seemed ready to get out of the car.

Song Jinze raised his hand to stop her, his voice very gentle, "Don’t get out of the car yet, wait for me."

Ye Zhenzhen felt a bit confused, "Oh~"

He just said it was a date, didn’t he? Why come to the mountains for a date?

And judging by the look of things, there were almost no people around, only their car was there...

A few minutes later, Song Jinze opened the passenger door, and Ye Zhenzhen saw that he had changed out of his black coat into a thick black and white windbreaker, and his shoes were replaced with mountain boots.

A large climbing backpack was slung over his shoulder.

He hadn’t worn a suit when he left the house that day but was dressed in a light-colored casual knitted sweater and casual pants, now it was just the coat on the outside that had changed, and the whole person looked less sharp and cold than he usually did in a suit, but instead, he seemed more sunny and relaxed.

But that wasn’t the important part, the important thing was that he was also holding a set of clothes and shoes like his own.

"You change into these," he said, handing over the entire set of clothes and shoes to Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen blankly ’oh’ed, then asked him, "When did you prepare all this?"

"This morning." After taking Xiao Chen to find his grandfather, he had prepared these.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, took the clothes, and closed the car door.

So, was the Overbearing CEO’s idea of a date to bring her to the mountains, and then go mountain climbing together?

Even in this cold winter?

After quickly changing into the clothes and shoes, she got out of the car.

Song Jinze’s gaze swept over her and he nodded, "Yes, the clothes look great!"

Ye Zhenzhen frowned, it was that phrase again!

"Mr. Song, are you always this stingy with words?"

Would he lose a chunk of flesh if he just complimented her on looking good?

Song Jinze naturally reached out his hand and led her forward, teasing, "Mrs. Song’s words do save me some face, but according to your usual way of speaking, shouldn’t you say, ’Has my mouth always been this sharp and scathing?’"

"Pfft~" Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t help but laugh, "Being sharp and scathing is a nickname the haters gave me, it’s not quite fitting for you."

She had to admit that apart from being tight-lipped, everything else about this man was very good.

"Just for that, Mrs. Song, give me a chance to say it again, okay?"

"Granted!"

"Firstly, Mrs. Song is naturally beautiful and pretty, and only then can the clothes look good."

Ye Zhenzhen smiled softly, "With President Song’s compliment, I know I’m pretty."

As she spoke, she felt the man holding her hand tighten slightly, as if responding to her, and when she looked up, she only saw a faint smile on the handsome profile of the man.

She asked, "Mr. Song, may I ask what you have planned for our date in the mountains?"

"You’ll know in a bit," he replied.

Seeing how confident the man was, Ye Zhenzhen didn’t ask any further and followed him up the mountain path, which was mostly made of stones. Ordinary people would feel tired after walking for a while, but Ye Zhenzhen didn’t feel tired at all.

She was physically fit and followed the man’s large strides without feeling out of breath at all, and as for the man holding her hand, there was even less to say, for he came back to Lantai Mountain every month, and mountain climbing was hardly worth mentioning for someone who exercised regularly.
