Zhao Youming’s face suddenly changed color when he heard the words “girlfriend.” Although it was only for a moment, Zhao Youlin still caught it.
“Cousin, why… Why did you suddenly think of asking this?” Zhao Youming appeared visibly nervous.
Zhao Youlin stared at Zhao Youming’s face for a long time before she withdrew her gaze. She chuckled and said, “I saw that many of the invited guests at the banquet have brought their daughters. Many of those girls seem to inch their way to you. It can be seen that you’re very popular with women. Moreover, you’re not exactly young anymore. Take me for example. I’m only one or two years older than Chief Zhao. I already have a five-year-old boy. Shouldn’t you consider finding yourself a girl to talk to?”
When Zhao Youming heard Zhao Youlin’s words, he heaved a faint sigh of relief, but his expression became a little awkward.
After deliberating for a moment, he found a natural answer. “I don’t think so. I haven’t accomplished anything at the moment. Even if I talk about it, I won’t be able to give a girl happiness. It’s better not to talk about it.”
When will you be considered successful? When you get the Zhao Group?
Zhao Youlin sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she tried to persuade him, “Isn’t it time to talk about this? If it isn’t, then when? When you’re successful in your career? How do you define success? What if you don’t find it? Does that mean that you won’t talk to your girlfriend for the rest of his life?”
Zhao Youming’s face sank when he heard this. No one liked it when others said that they would never achieve anything in their lifetime. Zhao Youlin’s words were obviously mocking him.
In fact, it was true.
Zhao Youlin looked at Zhao Youming’s face that had suddenly changed because of her words. The smile on her face became more and more pronounced. “Our elders always say that one should first have a family before starting a career. You said such pure words, could it be that you never had a girlfriend in your entire life?”

When Zhao Youlin said this, her eyes were fixed on Zhao Youming’s eyes. Zhao Youming’s entire body trembled, and the smile on his face disappeared completely. A guilty look that he could not hold back surfaced in his eyes.
The two of them were in a stalemate when they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the main door. They both turned to look and saw a youth who was slightly older than them walking in from outside.
The young man still had the gentle and jade-like smile on his face, but his aura was a little more fierce and mature than before. It stirred the hearts of many young girls who had come with their fathers. They stared at the young man with blushing faces. After looking at him, they could not help but lower their heads and discuss among themselves animatedly.
“He’s finally here.” Zhao Youming was surprised when he suddenly heard a low sigh coming from behind him. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and his expression changed slightly.
Zhao Youlin stood up from her seat and ignored Zhao Youming. She directly stood up and walked in the direction of that person.
“You’re finally here. You’re late for a banquet. Don’t you think you should punish yourself with three drinks?” Zhao Youlin crossed her arms and stood in front of him. She looked at the young man who was gradually approaching with a teasing look on her face. “Great President Ye.”
The smile on Ye Yan’s face did not change. He explained helplessly, “The two children at home wanted to play with me for a bit longer. I was stuck in traffic for a while, so I came late.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Are you trying to show off your happiness?” Zhao Youlin glanced at Ye Yan with disdain, “I wonder what people will think if they know that the President of the Ye Group does laundry and cooks at home every day to serve his wife and children?”
In the face of Zhao Youlin’s ridicule, the smile on Ye Yan’s face did not change at all. He accepted everything as per the contract. “It’s only my privilege to be able to wash and cook for Xiao He and the children.”
“Uh…” Zhao Youlin rubbed her arms, shaking off the goosebumps all over her body. This person was really shameless. How could he say such words?! If the people outside heard this, especially those who had been tricked by this smiling tiger, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground.
Zhao Youlin was feeling helpless when she heard a few girls on the side looking at Ye Yan from afar and muttering.
“Who’s that man over there? He’s so pretty.”
“He’s more than pretty. Look at the watch on his hand. I saw it in a fashion magazine before. It’s one-of-a-kind. It’s not something that can be bought with money.”
“Really? Isn’t that amazing? No, it’s too perfect!”
“He’s so handsome and so rich. He has temperament and self-control. He’s like a real-life prince charming. If…”
“Forget it. I advise you to put away those little thoughts. I know this person. He’s the President of the Ye Group. He just got married to the eldest lady of the Su family not long ago. Now he has two children. What are you going to do with her? A mistress?”
“Such a good man. It’s worth it to be a mistress! Hey, no, you said the Su family, which Su Family?”
“Which Su family could it be? Of course, it’s that Su family. If you want to be a mistress, you have to be born in the right family to even attempt being one.”
“Well, forget it then.”
Zhao Youlin heard every word of the conversation. The girls clearly thought they had lowered their voices so that no one could hear them. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she turned her head to look at Ye Yan, who had also heard it clearly, but still did not change his expression. She said, “I didn’t expect you to be so popular. With so many beautiful girls admiring you, don’t you want to show them?”
Ye Yan raised his eyebrows and said matter-of-factly, “What is there to show? I already have Xiao Qi. Their adoration is their business. What does it have to do with me?”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. Why did she suddenly feel like he was flexing his love life in her face!
“How has Xiao He been recently? She hasn’t been back for a few days and she hasn’t had the time to visit her and the children.”
Hearing Zhao Youlin mention Su he and the two children, Ye Yan’s expression became more gentle. The smile in his eyes was no longer so perfunctory. They became more genuine.
“They are all very well. Xiao He knew that I was coming over today and specifically told me to say hello to you. She will bring the children over to see you in a few days when she has time.”
“Okay, tell her that I’ll be waiting for her at any time.”
As the two of them were talking, Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong had already noticed the commotion and walked over to them.
“Youlin, this is…”Duan Yarong glanced at the man standing beside Zhao Youlin and probed.
“Dad, Mom, this is the president of the Ye Group. Ye Yan, these are my parents.”
In front of the elders, Ye Yan habitually acted like a good child. As soon as Zhao Youlin finished speaking, he immediately bowed his head and greeted the two of them, “Hello, uncle and Auntie, I’m Ye Yan.”
