787: Eavesdropping

Eavesdropping

Ye Cheng turned around and saw Yin Jia. He smiled at her before he continued to say on the phone, "Alright, I promise you. If you have any problems in the future, I'll help you. Alright, alright, I promise."2

After ending the call, Ye Cheng asked Yin Jia, "Why are you here?"

Yin Jia smiled and did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Is your work delayed because you're going home with me?"

Ye Cheng smiled and put his arm around her shoulders before he said, "Even if my work is delayed, I still want to go home with you. There are priorities, after all."

Yin Jia looked to the left and right before she asked, "Did you see Guan Tang earlier?"

Ye Cheng nodded. "I saw her. She seems like she's in a bad mood. It must be due to Cheng Che. How pitiful. Everyone loves Cheng Che, but he's a very loyal person. Guan Tang's destined to be disappointed."

Yin Jia smiled faintly and said, "That's because she doesn't have the ability. If she were able to move Cheng Che, our entire family would've been very willing to see them get married. No matter how outstanding that Jiahui is, she's still an outsider."

Ye Cheng did not comment on these words. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Well, let Cheng Che handle his own affairs. Is there anything you still need to deal with in M City before you leave? I can help you."

Yin Jia rolled her eyes and said, "It's not like I won't be returning in the future."

Ye Cheng was briefly stunned. When he regained his senses, he said with a smile, "I was muddle-headed. After all, we're getting married. How can you not return to M City?"

Yin Jia was a little embarrassed. Then, when she raised her head slightly, Ye Cheng reached out to hold her waist and leaned down to kiss her.

Yin Jia's body trembled slightly. Her mind went blank at this moment, causing her to forget what she had wanted to say.

…

After Guan Tang came home, she was incredibly restless. She searched the house again and again, falling into despair.

When the doorbell rang, she rushed to open the door. When she saw Ye Cheng, she felt her anxiety disappear.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Guan Tang said.

Ye Cheng strode in and brought a device out from his back before he made a shushing gesture at Guan Tang.

Guan Tang nodded. Her eyes were teary when she looked at him.

Ye Cheng silently used the device to scan the house carefully while Guan Tang stared at him unblinkingly.

When the device swept over a painting in the living room, a beeping noise rang in the air.

After putting down the device, Ye Cheng removed a small bugging device at the bottom of the painting. He showed it to Guan Tang before tossing it into a glass that was half-filled with water.

Guan Tang sat down on the ground as she covered her face and wept.

Ye Cheng stepped forward and helped her up before he said reassuringly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's done."

Guan Tang, who felt aggrieved, seized the opportunity and threw herself into Ye Cheng's arms and burst into tears.

Ye Cheng was briefly stunned. Then, he slowly reached out to hug her waist.

Guan Tang continued to cry.

Ye Cheng could only pat her gently and say, "It's okay. Don't cry, don't cry."

Guan Tang held onto Ye Cheng as she said, "Brother-in-law, I'm so scared. I don't know who did it. I don't know what the culprit's intention is. I'm so scared."

Ye Cheng reached up and stroked her head. "'Don't be scared. I'm here."

Guan Tang raised her head and looked at him with eyes that were wet from tears. "Brother-in-law, can you tell me… if, if I were the Young Miss of the Yin family, would you like me?"

Ye Cheng was stunned by this question. He lowered his head to look at Guan Tang.

Guan Tang said pitifully, "I'm just an orphan. I don't have an extraordinary family background so no one likes me, right?"

Tears fell from her eyes again, making her look even more delicate.
