Save the "white moonlight" first? The scumbag father took the child to the crematorium on

Chapter 23 Can you be my girlfriend?

"Please rest assured, sir, the plan is progressing smoothly. The Ye Group sold a large number of shares for this project, and I have arranged for people to buy them all. Together with the shares you hold, you will be able to become a major shareholder of the Ye Group."

"If Ye's project collapses completely this time, they will definitely sell more shares to save it."

Upon hearing his assistant's report on the other end of the phone, the heavy frost on Cheng Shuyan's face softened slightly. He nodded and said, "Continue. Report immediately if there is any disturbance."

Ye Shi.

Cheng Shuyan coldly curled the corners of his mouth.

Ye Chengyan, do you think the Ye family is still the same as before? Your arrogance will one day lead to your demise!

"Yes," the assistant replied, but just as he was about to hang up, he stammered, "Sir, there's one more thing."

"speak."

"The old man said he hopes you can go back; he wants to see you."

Cheng Shuyan's gaze sharpened, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The long silence made Zhu Lu uneasy, and he regretted bringing it up at this time, but fortunately he finally received a reply from Cheng Shuyan.

"I understand, I will contact the old man myself."

"Ok sir."

Cheng Shuyan hung up the phone and exhaled a breath of stale air.

He instinctively gripped his phone tighter, his furrowed brow revealing his frustration.

Behind him, the maid had already come out of the room, carrying dirty clothes in her hands, and gestured to Cheng Shuyan.

"Go and cook some porridge," Cheng Shuyan instructed, tiptoeing into the room and looking at Yunzhi, who was still unconscious on the bed.

His heart skipped a beat at her pale face.

"Zhizhi." Cheng Shuyan sat on the edge of the bed and finally reached out to gently stroke Yunzhi's cheek. "I can protect you. Don't reject me anymore."

Suddenly, Yunzhi grabbed Cheng Shuyan's hand, and a tear slid down her cheek.

Cheng Shuyan's heart almost stopped beating.

Is Yunzhi awake?

Her lips trembled, and she made some sounds.

Cheng Shuyan moved slightly closer and listened carefully.

"Tongtong".

Broken and painful.

……

"mom!"

A little girl with a ponytail stood in front of Yunzhi, smiling adorably with sweet dimples on her cheeks.

Yunzhi felt her heart was about to melt completely.

This is her Tongtong.

"Tongtong." Yunzhi felt both heartbroken and joyful. She went over and hugged the little girl.

But no matter how close the child was, Yunzhi could not reach her, as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

"Mom, come quick!"

The little girl called out to Yunzhi and ran forward on her own.

"No, Tongtong, don't go!"

Yunzhi wanted to give chase, but suddenly found that her legs were chained and she couldn't take a step.

She turned her head in horror and found the other end of the chain in Ye Chengyan's hand!

"Yunzhi, you promised to stay with me forever, how could you leave?"

Ye Chengyan's voice was deep and resonant, like a silkworm cocoon, gradually enveloping Yunzhi, making her unable to move or even breathe.

"Yunzhi, I will not let you leave. You will stay by my side for the rest of your life!"

……

"do not want!"

Yunzhi woke up from a nightmare and found that she was still holding something. Looking down, she realized it was a hand.

"Zhizhi, you're awake? Did you have a nightmare?"

Cheng Shuyan's voice rang out. He grasped Yunzhi's hand and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Brother?" Yunzhi came to her senses and looked around, finding herself in an unfamiliar place. "Where is this?"

“This is my private villa,” Cheng Shuyan explained. “Your condition is too bad. It’s close to the hospital, so I brought you here first.”

Yunzhi nodded blankly, then looked surprised to find that her clothes had been changed.

"You changed my clothes...?"

Cheng Shuyan stood up from the chair, her ears turning red instantly. She quickly explained, "No, it was the maid who changed your clothes. The dirty clothes have already been sent to be washed."

He poured Yunzhi a glass of water.

Yunzhi realized what had happened and was annoyed that she had such an absurd idea.

She took the water glass and gently twirled it in her palm: "Thank you, brother. I've caused you so much trouble these past few days."

Cheng Shuyan chuckled and reached out to touch Yunzhi's hair: "Since you call me brother, it's only right that I take care of you. There's no need for such formalities between us. I also hope to take care of you for the rest of my life."

However, Cheng Shuyan's last sentence was somewhat ambiguous, and Yunzhi looked up in confusion.

"what?"

"It's nothing." Cheng Shuyan shook his head, feeling regretful but mostly relieved, unaware of Yun Zhi's slightly flickering gaze.

Yunzhi responded sullenly and didn't say anything more.

She actually heard it.

The room fell silent, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall, perhaps echoing someone's sentiments.

"I……"

"you……"

Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan spoke at the same time, their voices and gazes overlapping in perfect unison. Then, they both fell silent, hoping the other would speak first.

Finally, the maid knocked on the door and entered, breaking the delicate atmosphere in the room.

Yunzhi quickly turned her head away, suppressing the bitter emotions in her heart.

It shouldn't be like this.

The maid came in, looking troubled. "Sir, it's the same call from the old mansion. The old master said he hopes you can talk to him."

Cheng Shuyan sighed.

He knew the old man's personality well; he was very stubborn about some things, and if he couldn't reach him, he would probably keep calling.

"Okay, I'll call you back later."

Yunzhi looked at Cheng Shuyan; he rarely saw Cheng Shuyan with such a worried expression.

Yunzhi knew very little about Cheng Shuyan.

After all, he wasn't an important character in the original work, and it was an accident that I met him.

Thinking of how Cheng Shuyan had been silently helping her all these years, Yunzhi asked softly, "Brother, what happened to you?"

Cheng Shuyan gave a helpless laugh: "Some family matters are a bit complicated to explain."

"Since it's a family matter, then don't tell me." Since it involved Cheng Shuyan's personal privacy, Yunzhi had no intention of listening any further.

But Cheng Shuyan said it was fine: "It's just that my family wants me to go back home. I had a small argument with my grandfather before, so I left on my own."

Yunzhi suddenly realized.

It's hard to imagine that someone as gentle as Cheng Shuyan would have conflicts with her family.

Yunzhi was deep in thought when she heard Cheng Shuyan speak.

"Zhizhi, there's something I need to ask you for help with. I wonder if you could help me with this."

Yunzhi nodded happily: "Brother, you've helped me so many times, it's only right that I repay you. So, what is it?"

Cheng Shuyan took a deep breath and spoke clearly, word by word.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"
