Only then did the people wake up from their respective daze and leave. The short interlude is over.
While watching Joy eat, Zhao Youlin studied An Yue and Han Yichen. An Yue spoke in a low voice with Han Yichen. Zhao Youlin frowned. He was secretly planning on asking Xiao Jingyao to investigate Han Yichen's background. Since he had asked her to stay, she had to know her background so that she could have peace of mind.
Zhao Youlin had this thought in her mind. However, immediately, he did not care because when he thought about it, the familiar silhouette slowly approached the outlet entrance.
"People there ..." That person looked like the person he had criticized without hesitation before. He was... Young Master Ye!
Zhao Youlin's entire body shuddered. He cursed himself for being an idiot. That person doesn't look like Young Master Ye. In fact, he was clearly Young Master Ye!
As Zhao Youlin recalled their experience at the restaurant that did not end well, she wanted to take Joy and leave the place. But .. he was late.
"Youlin, what a coincidence to see you here!" Ye Yan had sharp eyes and immediately saw the mother-son pair sitting in a corner. He took the lead to greet them and thus, stopped Zhao Youlin's evil hand from reaching out to Joy.
“Uncle Ye.” Joy was quite happy when she heard Ye Yan's voice. He looked up and waved his small hand at Ye Yan.
“You're also here, Joy. How are you doing? Do you miss me?" Ye Yan smiled as he walked over to the mother-daughter couple and spoke softly.
Joy nodded intensely and said gently, "Yes!"
“Good son!” Although Ye Yan was talking to Joy, his gaze never turned away from Zhao Youlin.
Seeing the happy face of his son, Zhao Youlin sighed. He knew very well that he could not avoid it. So, he looked up and smiled politely at Ye Yan. He said, “Really, a coincidence! Mr Ye, Do you also like the sweet?”
A hint of rejection sounded from Zhao Youlin's words. Knowing that Zhao Youlin was still angry at him due to the events of the last time, the corner of Ye Yan's lips curved upwards forming a slightly bitter smile.
In fact, Ye Yan's appearance was no mere coincidence. Ever since he was shot down by Zhao Youulin during the contract negotiations, Ye Yan thought of coming to him to convey his apology.
Unfortunately, Zhao Youlin did not plan on giving him the opportunity to do so. Every time Ye Yan called Zhao Enterprise, hoping that she could meet with Zhao Youulin and discuss the contract, she was always rejected. In the end, that fellow was so frustrated with Ye Yan's daily calls that he directly told him that Zhao Youlin did not plan to sign a contract with him. If there was nothing else, he hoped Ye Yan would not call again.
Only then did Ye Yan realize the seriousness of the matter. At the same time, he also knew that he was completely helpless if Zhao Youlin did not want to meet him at all.
Ye Yan did not block the entrance of the Zhao Enterprise anymore just to meet with Zhao Youlin. If he did that again, he might make Zhao Youlin angry like last time.
Ever since the lesson he learned last time, Ye Yan noticed that he had become more vigilant about everything related to Zhao Youlin. She was afraid that if something went wrong again, she would have a worse impression of him.
Just because Ye Yan cared about her, that was why she was so special about everything related to him. It had been many years since Ye Yan felt like this.
It took a huge effort for him to have someone check on Zhao Youlin and finally find out that in addition to working at the Zhao Enterprise, he had his own cake booth, which he often came to check in during his leisure hours.
Ever since then, Ye Yan had been visiting this outlet every day. He ordered a cake, a cup of coffee, or a glass of fruit juice and every time, he stayed all afternoon all because he wanted to meet Zhao Youlin just once.
However, Zhao Youlin had been bullied by some idiots recently and was constantly caught in trouble. It was only today that she was able to take her time and take Joy out to visit her kindergarten and outlet as well. Therefore, he met Ye Yan.
Ye Yan calmed himself. He smiled faintly and said, “Kue-cake is delicious. But I don't buy it for myself. I bought it on behalf of my sister. He likes pastries and pastries here. I happened to pass by here today, so I plan to buy it for him.”
Ye Yan seemed to know Zhao Youlin's thoughts, he smiled faintly and explained, "He's my cousin, not my brother."
Zhao Youlin was suddenly enlightened. “So, that's how it is.”
Right after Zhao Youlin finished her words, she did not continue. The atmosphere between them became awkward.
After some time, Ye Yan faked a cough. He planned to take the opportunity to explain the events last time. "Youlin, about the last time, I ..."
"Your master is here! Today's cakes are freshly baked from the oven, and still very warm. Will you do the usual?” Shuangshuang suddenly appeared and interrupted Ye Yan's words. Zhao Youlin was a little surprised. "Did you come here often?"
Ye Yan was slightly stunned. He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I come here quite often."
"Your Master, I never thought you'd be so wise to your cousin.”
'If you want, I can be wiser to you than anyone else,' Ye Yan looked at Zhao Youlin and thought to himself.
Shuangshuang was also a little surprised when she heard their conversation. "Sister Zhao, do you know each other?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"No."
Ye Yan and Zhao Youlin spoke at the same time. However, they both gave different answers.
After hearing Zhao Youlin reply that she did not know him, a hint of annoyance flashed in Ye Yan's eyes.
Zhao Youlin exclaimed in nervousness as she wanted to refute him. Right after he spoke, he felt that something was wrong.
"Do you, or do you not know each other?" Shuangshuang was confused by their answer. He looked back and forth between the two in a riddle.
Zhao Youlin faked a cough and replied, “We've met each other a few times. It's all about business affairs.”
“That means you two know each other!” Shuangshuang seemed to be unaware of the strangeness between the two, or perhaps, she realized it but deliberately ignored it. He walked over to Zhao Youlin's side and said with a smile, “Sister Zhao, Master Ye is our regular customer. He often comes here to contribute to our business. You saw…"
With Shuangshuang's intervention, the atmosphere between the two was not as awkward as before.
Zhao Youlin understood the underlying meaning of An Qi's words. He teamed up with her and said, "Since she's our regular customer, give her a discount on all her stuff." After all, he brought his business. It's a pity that he doesn't earn from it.
Shuangshuang secretly glanced at the two, "Alright, I'll pack up for Master Ye now. You can take the time to chat.”
As soon as Shuangshuang left, Zhao Youlin got up and said to Ye Yan, “It's too late. I have to go home now. Grandpa and grandmother Joy were waiting for him to have lunch together at home.”
