Chapter 749 - 725:
Ye Chen, unable to do otherwise, quickly apologized. Under Ye Chen’s sweet nothings and humorous onslaught, Zhang Yantong finally broke into a smile. Holding the roses Ye Chen gave her, she said, "You! The flowers you give are always different from anyone else’s!"
"I’ll go back and make that kid compensate for it," Ye Chen pretended to be angry.
"Enough already!" Zhang Yantong huffed coldly.
Having returned to Tongzhou City, it was only natural that Ye Chen would want to spend quality time with Zhang Yantong. As his wife, if he didn’t fulfill his responsibilities as a husband, wouldn’t that be a dereliction of his duties? Zhang Yantong did not ask too much about Ye Chen’s affairs. She understood that Ye Chen was not an ordinary person, so he was destined not to engage in the matters of ordinary people.
In fact, Zhang Yantong was very aware of some of the things Ye Chen had done, including rampaging in Japan, killing countless civilians, and seizing vast amounts of wealth. Zhang Yantong was no longer the same person she used to be; she had grown, matured, and learned to tolerate and turn a blind eye to certain things. Zhang Yantong no longer demanded that Ye Chen do supposedly righteous deeds; her heart only required her to do what a wife should do.
"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Zhang Yantong asked with a smile.
"I..." Ye Chen originally wanted to tell Zhang Yantong that he was only in Tongzhou City to attend a charity evening, but he immediately changed his words and said with a smile, "I plan to stay with you for a few days before I go!"
"Really?" Zhang Yantong was stunned.
"Mm!" Ye Chen nodded, his mind still pondering how to explain things to Li Ruo. Sometimes, Ye Chen found being a man quite difficult, especially when it involved being a man to several women—catering to each woman’s emotions required unique care and consideration. That was troublesome since he was just one person, and caring for anyone would mean neglecting other women. Thus, Ye Chen was very conflicted.
Ye Chen spent almost the entire day with Zhang Yantong until that evening when Zhang Yantong asked Ye Chen, "Do you have any plans tonight? Why not join me at a dinner party? How about it?"
"I’d rather not join that kind of bustle," Ye Chen immediately shook his head, "I’ll just go somewhere else to wander around this evening!"
"Alright!" Seeing that Ye Chen did not agree, Zhang Yantong didn’t push further but reminded him to be careful. After parting ways outside the Ministry of Public Security office, Ye Chen immediately drove to Jinsheng Hotel.
