Chapter 366 The bad guy complains first
When Ye Chengyan returned from the company, he saw Yu Baisu wearing an apron, one hand covering her nose, the other holding a spatula, her arm outstretched, almost half her body backed to the door, doing something in the kitchen. Ye Chengyan frowned, stepped to the door, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yu Baisu looked up and saw Ye Chengyan, as if she had seen a savior. "Ayan, I..." But as soon as Yu Baisu put her hand down, a nauseating fishy smell hit her face. Yu Baisu, who had just barely been able to bear it, finally couldn't control herself. She threw the spatula aside, covered her mouth with both hands, and even forgot to complain to Ye Chengyan, she quickly ran to the bathroom.
The next second, Ye Chengyan heard a retching sound coming from the bathroom, as if Yu Baisu was about to vomit her stomach out.
Ye Chengyan glanced at the fish in the kitchen, which already smelled slightly burnt, turned off the gas, and just as he came out of the kitchen, he saw Ye Ze standing on tiptoe, peeking into the bathroom with a concerned look on his face.
Upon seeing Ye Chengyan, Ye Ze quickly asked.
"Dad, is Aunt Su Su alright?"
Seeing that his son, who used to be hostile towards Yu Baisu, was now showing concern for her, Ye Chengyan was somewhat surprised. "You care about your Aunt Su?"
"Did Aunt Su feel unwell because she made me squirrel-shaped mandarin fish? Dad, I'm sorry. When I came back today, I told Aunt Su that I wanted to eat squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, and she said she wasn't feeling well. I was going to say no, but Aunt Su insisted on making it for me and said she was feeling much better. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said I wanted to eat squirrel-shaped mandarin fish."
Ye Ze clutched the hem of his clothes with both hands, tears streaming down his face, whether from fear or worry, it was unclear.
Ye Chengyan thought of the pot of blackened fish in the kitchen and looked at Ye Ze with some relief. At least Ye Ze had begun to reflect and was no longer as uncommunicative as before. "It's okay, it's not your fault. Dad has arranged a nanny for you. She will come tomorrow. If you want anything to eat, just tell her. Your Aunt Su Su hasn't been feeling well lately."
Ye Ze sniffed. "You're not blaming me?"
"It's not your fault. Okay, go back to your room and read."
Recently, a series of bad things have left Ye Chengyan overwhelmed. Today, his trusted confidant took a three-month leave due to some family matters. He now needs to start looking for someone to read documents to him. This person must be 100% loyal to him, and will not leak company secrets or expose his weaknesses. If outsiders find out that the president of the prestigious Ye Group is someone who can't even read documents, then his position is over.
But such people are not easy to find. Ye Chengyan still has a headache when he thinks about it. Recalling the bad luck he has had recently, he thinks that only Ye Ze is sensible and can give him some comfort.
Ye Ze nodded, and the moment he turned his head, the worry on his face vanished. He had a cold expression on his face. The thought of having another stranger in the villa tomorrow to share Yu Baisu's burdens made him furious. He hadn't had enough fun yet and wanted to find an opportunity to get his father to kick that stranger out. Having someone around would affect his performance.
Ye Chengyan, who was pleased with his son's thoughtfulness, had no idea that Ye Ze was plotting how to get rid of the nanny he had just hired.
Ye Chengyan waited at the bathroom door for two minutes before Yu Baisu came out with tears in her eyes. She swayed and looked like she might collapse at any moment.
"Ayan..." Yu Baisu's voice, which was originally as beautiful as a mountain spring, became rough and hoarse because of vomiting. Ye Chengyan felt physically uncomfortable. Before Ye Chengyan could respond, Yu Baisu staggered forward two steps and fell heavily into Ye Chengyan's arms.
Ye Chengyan supported her from behind. Before he could speak, Yu Baisu buried her face in his chest and cried softly, "Ayan, I feel so awful. Xiaoze wants to eat squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, but I... I feel like throwing up whenever I smell fish. I really feel terrible."
Yu Baisu wanted to take this opportunity to teach Ye Ze a lesson. If Ye Chengyan knew that she was pregnant and Ye Ze was ordering her to make squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, he would be furious. She was carrying Ye Chengyan's child, and that little brat was going to be in big trouble this time.
A hint of smugness flashed in her eyes, and her voice was weak and feeble, "Ayan, even though it was Xiaoze who wanted to eat squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, don't blame Xiaoze. I'm fine. I'll make it for Xiaoze if he wants to eat it."
"Can't you afford a nanny or a chef at home?" Yu Baisu, who thought she would be held in Ye Chengyan's arms and gently coaxed, suddenly heard a cold and irritating voice above her head.
Yu Baisu was stunned for a moment, then looked up blankly, meeting Ye Chengyan's impatient gaze. Her expression changed, not understanding why the script wasn't developing as she had imagined.
Her thin lips trembled slightly, "Ayan, it's Xiaoze..."
Ye Chengyan coldly interrupted Yu Baisu's subsequent attempt to play the victim, "I know, Xiaoze just told me. Since you're not feeling well, why did you pretend to be feeling well and cook for Xiaoze? It's not like we can't afford a nanny and a chef. Don't do such stupid things again. If word gets out, people will think that the Ye family is abusing pregnant women."
After he finished speaking, he released his grip on Yu Baisu's hand.
If Ye Ze hadn't come over to apologize to him, he probably would have really thought that Ye Ze was being unreasonable again. But Ye Ze took the initiative to apologize, which made Ye Chengyan feel even more that Yu Baisu was trying to please Ye Ze, but ended up making a mess of things, and now she even had the nerve to come over and play the victim in front of him.
"What, Ye Ze..." Yu Baisu seemed to understand something. She bit her lip lightly, and a hint of embarrassment and anger flashed in her eyes. This little brat actually accused her first. She also wanted to refuse Ye Ze, but the problem was that she couldn't. If she didn't make Squirrel Fish for Ye Ze, Ye Ze threatened to send her back to the old house.
Yu Baisu looked at Ye Chengyan with a wronged expression, and finally nodded dejectedly to indicate that she understood.
Just then, Yu Baisu suddenly sensed that someone was watching her from the second floor. When she looked up, she met Ye Ze's malicious gaze. She trembled with anger. Ye Ze had made her look so pathetic, yet he still dared to provoke her.
But now is not the right time to deal with this brat. She needs to win over Ye Chengyan's heart as soon as possible. Yu Baisu's eyes darted around, and she covered her stomach with one hand, looking at Ye Chengyan pleadingly.
"Ayan, my stomach is a little upset today. Could you come with me to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?"
She made up her mind that, under the pretense of feeling unwell, she would go to the hospital with Ye Chengyan and then coax him into going on a date with her, preferably coming back late at night, or not coming back at all, so that this little rascal would know that Ye Chengyan would not only be his father from now on.
