One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 469: At Your Beck and Call, an Indescribable Humbleness

In a half-drunken, half-awake state, Yuan Yumeng propped her head up with one hand, and her vision outside was a bit blurred, eventually turning into overlapping images...She said with a giggle, "Ye Zheng, why do you have two heads?"

"But... still very handsome!"

The man’s handsome eyebrows lifted slightly, and in his clear eyes, like flowing stars, "Yuan Yumeng, if you become my girlfriend, you can have me."

The girl giggled uncontrollably, "Don’t... think... I’m really drunk right now, can’t tell east from west, actually here..."

She pointed to her head, "Still very sober..."

"You propose this either on a whim, having never dated a girl like me, or you find me interesting, and being with me, at the very least, you can have a lot of fun!"

"What a pity!" Yuan Yumeng shook her big head, "No matter the reason, I can’t accept it."

"Is that so?" Ye Zheng’s lips curved slightly, the vermilion mark on his forehead seemed capable of bewitching people, "Then I’ll give you a third reason, like your beloved man loves someone else, how about taking me as a healing remedy?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere became a bit tense.

This remark was like the most effective sobering medicine, quickly clearing Yuan Yumeng’s mind, her gaze no longer wavering, but slowly gathering to look at the man across...

"You, how do you know I..."

"The soundproofing here isn’t good, I heard your call earlier, plus some imagination."

Ye Zheng’s face, like a bright moon, showed a captivating smile, adding, "Looks like I guessed right, it really is like that."

Yuan Yumeng tightened her grip slightly, trying to appear calm, "Heh! It’s really nothing, just childish ignorance, not worth selling myself for such a thing."

Ye Zheng didn’t expect this girl to be more alert than he imagined, saying a bit disinterestedly, "Looks like you’re really not interested in me."

"Uh..."

Yuan Yumeng was a bit speechless, rolling her eyes and saying, "I’m doing this for your own good. If we became a couple, we’d be like a walking zoo."

"Hm?" Ye Zheng raised an eyebrow, "How so?"

Yuan Yumeng laughed freely, "We couldn’t look more mismatched! A 100% turnaround rate, isn’t that a walking zoo?"

When it comes to self-deprecation, she’s got some skills.

But Ye Zheng didn’t seem to give up, putting a piece of beef into her bowl, "We... have a long time ahead."

Yuan Yumeng made no comment, because in her eyes, Ye Zheng wasn’t sincere.

Without sincerity, it naturally wouldn’t last long.

But the series of events that happened later made her fully understand...

Sometimes, a man doesn’t need any reason to like a woman, even if that woman is ugly as sin!

It’s just that by the time she understood this, it was too late.

...

In the quiet night, the sound of a child’s cries was particularly disturbing.

Song Song now deeply understood how difficult it is to be a mother, with no time for proper rest at night. Thinking about the series of things to handle, she shivered slightly.

Up until now, Little Xiyou’s household registration hadn’t been done; just now, while he was asleep, she took the time to check the details online.

It was quite complicated; registering the household required both husband and wife to bring the necessary documents to the local authorities.

Which meant she had to do it with Xiao Jinghuai...

It was originally a simple matter, but now it seemed a bit tricky.

Currently, they’re in an awkward impasse, and when she left Qing City, she had said harsh words.

Now...

If she were to call him again, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?

Thinking this, Song Song felt regretful; she shouldn’t have been so impulsive, at least wait until all the procedures were completed.

Looking at the still-crying Little Xiyou, Song Song’s delicate brows furrowed more, as clearly Xiao Jinghuai was right about one thing, she couldn’t handle the child alone.

In Qing City, she had Sister-in-law Zhou’s help, so it didn’t seem too hard, but now...

At this moment, the door opened, and Huo Junting, holding the door handle, looked at Song Song expressionlessly, "I hired a nanny for you, starting tomorrow."

"...Oh, thank you."

Song Song felt a bit embarrassed, clearly the child’s crying had disturbed him, otherwise, his expression wouldn’t be so sour.

"Big brother, I’m sorry!" Song Song apologized proactively.

But Huo Junting’s expression, tight to the point of near tension, didn’t relax in the slightest, only silently closing the door and turning away.

Song Song was surprised, was it not because Little Xiyou bothered him?

It seemed he was originally in a bad mood.

Had he fought with Yuan Yuqi?

It shouldn’t be, should it? They were just on the phone, sticking closely to each other a while ago.

Ah, never mind, she couldn’t even handle her own affairs!

...

The next day.

After entrusting Little Xiyou to the nanny, Song Song rushed to meet Xiao Ran, supposedly to discuss some divorce details.

Last night, Little Xiyou was fussy, and she coaxed him until one or two in the morning, so today she looked quite drained.

They agreed to meet at a nearby Starbucks, and when Song Song arrived, he was already waiting by the window.

There was a laptop on the table, and he was engrossed in writing something, so much so that he didn’t notice Song Song approaching.

Song Song raised her hand and knocked on the table, and the man looked up, his amber eyes, sharp gaze softening and becoming gentle when seeing Song Song.

"My big brother said you are a workaholic, I didn’t believe it before, now I’ve seen it with my own eyes."

Xiao Ran smiled faintly, putting away his laptop and documents, "The pressure of making a living."

"Want something to drink?"

"Whatever."

"..."

A brief gleam flashed in Xiao Ran’s eyes, "I remember ’whatever’ is a kind of popsicle, but unfortunately, Starbucks only has coffee."

For Song Song, speaking like this was a kind of humor, though a bit cold, she still appreciated it.

It was obvious he had noticed her foul mood.

At this moment, Xiao Ran took out the drafted divorce agreement from his briefcase, "This is the first draft, you have a look first."

Looking at the three bold characters on the thin paper, Song Song’s heart began to ache violently.

Xiao Ran noticed her hesitation, intending to take back the divorce agreement, "You seem unsure, let’s arrange for another time."

"...It’s just that there’s still something I need his help with."

Xiao Ran was a very efficient man, in his nearly ten years of being a lawyer, handling countless cases, encountering too many odd people, which made him somewhat ill-tempered and basically impatient.

He’s said to have the worst temper in the legal field, yet people still liked to come to him, so over time he became even more conceited.

When in a good mood, he’d indulge in a few more words with clients, when in a bad mood, he’d tell them to get lost directly!

But with this woman in front of him, he was unbelievably tolerant, like he’s constantly ready for her, available at her call.

It’s really a kind of inexplicable foolishness.

He always wondered why?

Later, when he was meditating alone in his room, he finally figured out one thing, his indulgence was not without reason.

It’s because he... likes her.
