Chapter 1022 - 31: Let Me Keep You Company for a Drink~
Ye Cheng’s face was tense as he stared at her, watching for a long time.Suddenly, he strode over to her and lifted her up by the waist.
Zimei was stunned by his actions and only managed to speak after a while, "A Cheng... what are you trying to do?"
Ye Cheng maintained his cold expression without saying a word, carrying her back in large strides until he threw her onto the back seat of his car.
Clearly, she wouldn’t calm down tonight unless he sent her home.
He slammed the door shut, then got into the driver’s seat and silently started the car.
Zimei could feel his anger, as the man drove without saying a word, she didn’t dare to speak either.
The atmosphere inside the car was eerily quiet.
Only when the car stopped did Zimei realize they had arrived at the entrance of her villa.
"Get out." Ye Cheng’s lips parted coldly.
Zimei remained seated without moving.
Ye Cheng was already impatient; he pushed open the car door, strode to the back seat, and forcibly pulled her out of the car.
Zimei still wasn’t wearing shoes.
Ye Cheng saw her bare feet, his face cold as he bent into the car to grab the high heels left on the seat.
"Put your foot out."
He knelt in front of her, speaking in a cold, hard tone.
Zimei lowered her head, seeing him holding the shoe with one hand, while the other forcefully tried to push her foot into it.
She was stunned, her lips moved but no words came out.
The man’s actions were not gentle as he helped her put on the shoes, not even glancing at her before turning to get into the car.
Even after Ye Cheng drove away, leaving her standing there in a daze, her palms slowly clenched.
...
On Tuesday, the Qin Family held a pool party.
By the time Zimei arrived, many people were already there.
A few days ago, she received an invitation from Qin Sixue, which surprised her.
While in Tokyo, she had crossed paths with Qin Sixue, but after returning to Rongcheng, they hadn’t interacted. However, upon hearing that Ye Cheng would attend, Zimei immediately agreed.
She wanted to use the party tonight to ease the tension in their relationship.
Zimei wore a burgundy one-piece swimsuit, draped with a shawl of the same color. Her figure was already tall and outstanding, and the fitted swimwear highlighted her strengths, with every curve accentuated.
Thus, the moment Zimei appeared, she caught the attention of the men at the party.
Zimei had no interest in other men; her beautifully made-up eyes roamed through the crowd, trying to find Ye Cheng.
Sure enough, she spotted him at a glance.
This was because Ye Cheng stood out too much, still dressed in his elite attire—a suit and tie. He was naturally easy to differentiate among the other men wearing only swim trunks.
Ye Cheng was discussing something with his good friend Xi Nanfeng, and when Zimei approached, they both fell silent.
Xi Nanfeng could obviously tell Zimei had something to say. He didn’t want to be a third wheel either, so he patted his buddy’s shoulder and tactfully walked away.
After he left, Ye Cheng’s handsome face remained indifferent, he didn’t look at Zimei, only taking a sip from the champagne in his hand.
"A Cheng, drinking alone is boring, how about I drink with you?" Zimei had no choice but to start a conversation.
Ye Cheng ignored her words, his eyes aloof.
Zimei’s smile stiffened, but she still summoned the courage to continue, "I know you’re angry. I really shouldn’t have gone back on my word, I’ll punish myself with a drink first."
As she spoke, she tilted her head back and finished the champagne in one gulp.
Remembering she once said that over the past three years, drinking was like drinking water, Ye Cheng felt a sharp pang in his heart, finally raising his eyes to glance at her.
Just then, a muscular man in swim trunks walked over to them, cluelessly smiling as he tried to chat up Zimei, "Hey beautiful, drinking alone? Let me join you~"
