Chapter 365: Chapter 365

Ye Ling’s face warmed slightly, feeling a bit shy at this moment.

"He said there’s no rush. I can reply to him after I graduate." Ye Ling thought about Shen Bin, who really knew how to handle things without putting pressure on others. His approach relieved Ye Ling.

Ye He Ping had similar thoughts, believing Shen Bin was wise enough to understand his daughter’s personality and not press too tightly, which might scare her away. Considering his daughter’s current situation and the incident with Xiang Weilai, if Shen Bin moved too aggressively, his daughter would definitely feel repulsed, retreating into her shell and not reflecting on things clearly.

"Since that’s the case, let’s not worry about it. What’s your mother doing? I see there are groceries in the kitchen, but she’s not home, so Dad will show you a culinary trick today. You go wash your clothes first." Ye He Ping guided his daughter out of the room. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI[F]ire.net

Ye Ling knew her father was being considerate, so she didn’t refuse his kind intentions. "Alright, I’ll soak the clothes first and help you out."

"Okay, let’s see what your mom bought, and we’ll make something good today." Ye He Ping checked the basket on the stove and found meat, fish, and a bunch of celery, then said with a smile, "Let’s make dumplings. You mostly eat vegetables at school but not dumplings, so let’s make dumplings today."

"Great, I’ll chop the filling." Ye Ling immediately took on the heavier task. "Dad, you can pick the celery."

"Okay, then Dad will do the easier work." Knowing his daughter was considerate towards him, Ye He Ping felt warm inside.

Father and daughter cheerfully prepared food at home, while Bai Xue felt she couldn’t explain things clearly over the phone to her daughter. So she took a bus and walked half an hour to the Art Troupe. Ye Qian was surprised to see her mother coming to find her and quickly pulled her aside, face gloomy.

"Mom, what’s happened now?" Ye Qian was getting fed up with her mother.

For her to come directly to the company, something big must have happened.

Bai Xue didn’t notice her daughter’s impatience, tightly gripping her hand. "Qianqian, I heard something today, and you need to brace yourself."

"Mom, don’t let people see. Just tell me what’s going on. All this talk about whether I can handle it is quite frightening." Seeing her mother’s anxious expression, Ye Qian softened somewhat and paid more attention.

"Qianqian, you know Shen Bin, right? Today, I found out he’s actually Mr. Li’s biological son." Bai Xue lowered her voice as if she were revealing a great secret, feeling lighter after saying it.

Ye Qian paused, "Mom, what did you say?"

Ye Qian thought she must have heard wrong. "Isn’t Shen Bin from the countryside? How could he be Uncle Li’s son? Aren’t they just sworn friends? Did you hear incorrectly?"

Bai Xue shook her head, "Shen Bin told Aunt Wu himself. Aunt Wu went to our house and happened to meet Shen Bin visiting Ye Ling. He admitted being together with Ye Ling and said they would marry after her graduation."

After saying this, Bai Xue anxiously paced around, mumbling, "What do we do now? Who would’ve thought that girl was so lucky, coming from a rural area and divorced, struggling for a match, but turned out to have such a big background. No wonder the Li Family is so concerned about Shen Bin’s marriage. Who wouldn’t worry about their son’s affairs? I guess when Shen Bin divorced, it was the Li Family’s doing. Who would agree for their son to marry someone from the countryside?"

The more Bai Xue thought about it, the more unwilling she felt, "How could I have been so foolish? If I had realized this earlier, I would’ve figured something out. People don’t care for someone from the countryside for no reason; there must be something special."

Talking about this, Bai Xue angrily hit her head. It’s too late now. That damn girl acted fast and hooked Shen Bin early on. Such favorable conditions were snatched away by that damn girl. If she really enters the Li Family, she would surely act superior.

Ye Qian was too shocked by the news to hear what her mother said next. Shen Bin was a big leader’s son, yet he was with Ye Ling, who always overshadowed her after returning. Ye Qian thought she could surpass Ye Ling in marriage, but what is the situation now?

The harsh reality took Ye Qian a while to recover from, looking at her mother’s rambling, forcing back her tears. "Mom, I know now. I can’t stay out too long; it’s getting dark. You should head home soon."

"Qianqian, Mom’s unwilling. How can someone as good as you have such a hard fate, always being suppressed by Ye Ling?" Bai Xue held her daughter’s hand, looking distressed.

Ye Qian smiled, "Mom, everyone has their destiny. We should be happy for Sister having such a good marriage."

Speaking these words against her heart made Ye Qian feel bitter inside.

"You’re such a kind child." Bai Xue sighed, "Listening to Shen Bin, he doesn’t want people to know his identity and specifically told Aunt Wu. Do you think we should spread the news so everyone knows Shen Bin’s real identity and many would want to approach him?"

Those trying hard for Shen Bin will increase, and Bai Xue would be happy to see Shen Bin being taken away by someone.

Ye Qian knew her mother’s thoughts, her eyes flickered, yet she had her own plan, "Mom, you promised Aunt Wu not to tell anyone. Only Aunt Wu knows. If you spread it, Shen Bin would suspect Aunt Wu, and Aunt Wu would blame you. It’s Aunt Wu who helped me with my job, so we can’t involve Aunt Wu, right?"

Ye Qian knew her mother would do anything for her.

Bai Xue nodded, "You’re right. Above others, there’s you. Good kid, today I mentioned about you and Zhiyuan to Aunt Wu, but she seemed in a bad mood and didn’t say much. When you have a chance, go to Aunt Wu and test the waters."

Ye Qian absentmindedly replied, "I get it. Brother Zhiyuan hasn’t graduated yet, not time to talk about this. It’s late now, Mom, you should go home."

Reluctantly, Bai Xue said a few more things to her daughter before heading home. Knowing this matter, Ye Qian’s heart couldn’t settle. Thinking of Shen Bin’s steady nature and clean, decisive actions, even with his cold demeanor that seemed distant, it wasn’t a bad personality, as he wouldn’t attract unnecessary attention from girls.

In contrast, thinking of Liu Zhiyuan in college, who had always been passive from a young age, Brother Zhiyuan never showed any special interest in her, Ye Qian bit her lip, contemplating whether Shen Bin would be indifferent if it was him?
