Chapter 578: Chapter 577: (2 more)

Zuo Qing knew Jin Ruiyang too well, that side of him was the most genuine.

She looked down and smiled bitterly, realizing that falling for someone could truly bring about such a vast change.

Ruiyang had stopped pretending to be someone he wasn’t.

Zuo Qing felt somewhat melancholic as if something had quietly slipped away from her heart.

She had known this all along, but it still felt uncomfortable to witness it with her own eyes.

Her smile was bitter as she unintentionally caught Ye Shaoting’s attention.

His gaze drifted outside subconsciously, did she fall for that kid Ruiyang?

Ye Shaoting covered his mouth with one hand as if he had discovered some incredible news, his eyes scanning over Jin Yu, Xu Niannian, and Zuo Qing back and forth.

This relationship was complex indeed.

"Niannian, get some good rest. I’ll be leaving too, there are things to take care of at the store,"

Zuo Qing said tenderly to Xu Niannian, her voice soft as a breeze, gentle as drizzle.

The Xu Family’s previous businesses, due to none of the three siblings Xu Erhong wanting to take over, and with Xu Niannian and Xu Zhiqiang having their own matters to attend to, fell to Zuo Qing ever since she returned from abroad.

She was indeed very busy.

Knowing that Zuo Qing was feeling down, Xu Niannian didn’t insist on keeping her company: "Alright, then you go back first."

After Zuo Qing left, there was still one extra person in the hospital room.

Jin Yu glanced at him: "Aren’t you leaving?"

Ye Shaoting blinked: "Are you rushing me?"

"What else, am I asking you to stay?" Jin Yu smirked, "My wife needs to rest."

With them around, Xu Niannian felt uncomfortable lying down directly on the bed and was half-seated, already feeling drowsy.

Ye Shaoting chuckled, patted Jin Yu on the shoulder, and offered his final blessing, "Congratulations, you’re going to be a father."

The meaning behind Ye Shaoting’s words was to express that Jin Yu becoming a father was a joyous occasion.

Jin Yu didn’t notice anything amiss either.

It was Xu Niannian, who had suffered from the mockery of online humor in the future, who suddenly sprang up and glared at Ye Shaoting.

"Ye Shaoting!"

What kind of nonsense was that, how could he blurt out such things?

Both Ye Shaoting and Jin Yu were baffled by Xu Niannian’s sudden outburst.

"Wife, what’s wrong?" Jin Yu thought Xu Niannian might be feeling discomfort somewhere.

Ye Shaoting was also confusedly looking at Xu Niannian: "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?"

His expression was serious: "Where did I speak wrongly?"

Xu Niannian: "..."

That bewildered expression told Xu Niannian that she had misunderstood.

She then realized that this wasn’t the future world she used to live in, but rather the 1980s, completely unaware of the demonized meaning of "congratulations on becoming a father."

Having wronged someone, Xu Niannian’s face suddenly turned red, thankfully she hadn’t cursed out loud.

She awkwardly ruffled her hair: "Nothing, nothing really, I just thought you suddenly became more handsome."

A compliment out of nowhere made Ye Shaoting retreat towards the door: "Sister-in-law, don’t do this, if there’s something, let’s talk about it, if I’ve offended you somehow just tell me."

Don’t scare him like this, he couldn’t handle the pressure from Jin Yu, that jealous hound.

Xu Niannian withdrew into the covers: "It’s nothing, just hurry out."

"Okay."

With that, Ye Shaoting swiftly pulled open the door and left without a hint of hesitation.

Once he was gone, Jin Yu bent down, pulled Xu Niannian out, and moved close, asking, "What did you just say?"

"Didn’t say anything." She kept her gaze focused on her nose, her nose on her heart.

Jin Yu licked his lips and a smirk formed on his face as he watched her eyes dart around, then he pecked her on the lips with a laugh.

"I’ll deal with you later."

He wasn’t really jealous, though.

Elsewhere, after Ye Shaoting left the hospital, he ran into Zuo Qing, who hadn’t gone far.

He raised an eyebrow and walked towards her.

Zuo Qing felt footsteps behind her and turned around in confusion.

"Hey, hello, remember me? Little Drunkard."

Zuo Qing: "..."

Of course, she remembered, and it was exactly because she remembered that she didn’t dare to look at him.

The thin-skinned Zuo Qing’s face turned red with his calling her "Little Drunkard": "I remember."

She blushed and lowered her head.

The young lady’s face was red.

Ye Shaoting raised an eyebrow, touched his chin, thinking that he hadn’t done much, right?

Could it be that she was conquered by his charm?

He narcissistically thought for a second, then immediately recalled that Zuo Qing liked Jin Ruiyang, and he grinned.

"Where are you going? I’ll take you back."

Since they had met, he ought to at least offer her a ride.

"No need," Zuo Qing averted her face uncomfortably: "Thank you for that night..."

"You’re welcome," Ye Shaoting said with a hoarse chuckle: "Let’s go together, I’ll drive you there."

Zuo Qing wasn’t used to refusing people, and since he had put it that way, she felt even less inclined to keep refusing.

She softly agreed, "Okay."

Her gentle voice reached Ye Shaoting’s ears, and he shook his head with a low chuckle; she was different from most other women he had met.

Like a flower protected in a greenhouse, gentle and delicate.

However, the smile soon faded from Ye Shaoting’s face.

After a short walk with Zuo Qing to where he had parked his car:

The area was empty, not a pickup truck or even an oxcart in sight.

The wind blew, raising dust all around, and the smile on Ye Shaoting’s face froze.

Damn, where was his car?

Don’t tell me Jin Ruiyang that guy drove it away?
