Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Sweet Breeze, Instantly Turns into a Violent Wind
Ye Shu walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and found nothing inside but beverages.
Buying an oversized fridge just for decoration, now that’s a sight you don’t see every day!
Ye Shu looked sullenly at Sheng Shaochen, his legs casually crossed, as he leisurely forked pieces of toast, one bite at a time, into his mouth.
She was so hungry she could faint after throwing up so much last night, she’d almost vomited her bile.
Watching him eat so contentedly, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
“I prepared a portion for you,” Sheng Shaochen said, without even lifting his head, as if he had heard her swallow.
At that moment, he seemed so elegant and noble, a stark contrast to the Demon King Sheng who had been teasing her in the room just earlier.
If Ye Shu hadn’t already experienced his sly tactics, she might have truly thought the man before her was a prince from a fairy tale, graceful and considerate.
Ye Shu didn’t want to suffer by being squeamish, so she went straight over and sat down at the furthest place from him to start breakfast.
Along the way, she casually grabbed the remote from the table and turned on the television.
Morning entertainment gossip had been a must-watch for her ever since she took over Ye Entertainment.
Even though she was no longer in charge of Ye Entertainment, she had kept up the habit.
It was the same old boring gossip and scandals, over and over again.
As Ye Shu watched, she quickly lost interest and focused on her meal.
“The latest news from our station’s reporter Fang Yu: since the injury of Ye Xinyu, the Jade Girl Leader of Ye Group, yesterday afternoon, her fiancé, Young Master Gu of the Gu Family, Gu Zuocheng, has stayed by her side the entire time, taking meticulous care of her. They’ve been showing off their love, evoking envy from everyone…”
What followed was a series of on-site interviews.
Ye Xinyu kept her whiny and clingy voice, cozied up next to Gu Zuocheng, answering wave after wave of questions from the entertainment reporters.
As if they wanted to monopolize the entire morning entertainment segment.
Ye Shu snorted coldly—was this the tactic Ye Xinyu said would make her regret everything?
Ye Shu reached out to grab the remote, ready to turn it off.
But a large hand covered her small one; Sheng Shaochen’s indifferent voice came through leisurely, “Is Mrs. Sheng still hung up on her ex?”
“I thought Mr. Sheng was someone who dealt with significant matters. I didn’t expect you to be so petty that you can’t even bear Mrs. Sheng’s ex?”
Ye Shu purposely provoked him, her elegant fingertips brushing over the power button, just about to press it…
The screen shifted from sweet affection to a violent scene in an instant.
“The latest news from our station’s reporter Fang Yu: a punk teenager burst into the hospital just now wielding a baseball bat and hit Miss Ye Xinyu directly. The scene is complete chaos…”
Wasn’t that punk teenager on the screen her brother, Ye Zifeng?
Ye Shu sprang to her feet in her haste, so much so that the corner of her robe swept across the table, knocking over the plates.
The floor was instantly a mess.
“Is Mrs. Sheng looking for even more trouble?” Sheng Shaochen frowned, his distinct fingers tapping rhythmically against the rosewood table, creating a thudding echo that inexplicably radiated a sense of oppression.
Ye Shu’s brow twitched slightly; she flicked the hem of her robe and faced Sheng Shaochen with a faint smile playing on her lips, her voice rising crisply, “Mr. Sheng, rest assured, this has nothing to do with drinking or smoking, and it certainly won’t affect getting pregnant and bearing children.”
Her implication was clear—whatever happened next, she wouldn’t bother Sheng Shaochen with it again.
Sheng Shaochen’s expression paused, and a fleeting emotion crossed the half of his face that was against the light.
“Miss Ye, hasn’t anyone ever told you that being too stubborn and trying too hard can lead to disadvantages?”
His gaze lifted, calm as an ancient well, deep as the ocean, inscrutable.
