Winter Blazing Wild

Zhou Shenye's fingers were slightly cold, and he only touched Yu Tang's hand lightly before quickly moving away.

Both of their eyes were focused on the box.

Zhou Shenye said, "The treasure I bought for one million is now officially handed over to you."

The box was obviously very light, but it felt heavy in Yu Tang's palm.

She felt mixed emotions and sighed.

Trying to shake herself out of her depressed and complicated mood, she looked up at Zhou Shenye and said, "I'll pay you back the one million. Is it from your personal account? Give me your card number and I'll schedule a transfer with the bank."

Zhou Shenye smiled helplessly, "Is such a strange and awkward conversation something you should have with your boyfriend?"

Yu Tang was very serious. "Let's put things in perspective. I don't want to owe you anything."

"It's only one million. I don't need this little money, and I don't think you owe me anything. Just think of it as a gift from me, okay?"

Both of them are stubborn, especially when it comes to the issue of "money", which they have no shortage of, they insist on their own opinions.

However, it is usually Zhou Shenye who gives in first.

"If you really feel you owe me something, let's make an exchange."

"How to exchange?" Yu Tang frowned slightly.

Zhou Shenye curled his lips and pressed his palm on the box again, "Let me participate in your secret."

The word "secret" made Yu Tang's heart tremble.

About the Master's secret, and... her secret.

Seeing that Yu Tang's face looked strange, Zhou Shenye squinted his eyes and looked over. "Are you unwilling for me to participate, or are you really hiding a secret from me?"

The atmosphere between the two of them was awkwardly silent for a few seconds.

"I'm not sure if I can dig out Master's secret, but my secret..."

Yes, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Yu Tang smiled faintly with a complicated expression, "There is indeed something I haven't told you."

"I want to hear it."

"I'm coming to the auction today, but I was originally here for a blind date."

Zhou Shenye remained silent, but was not too surprised.

"It was Yu Jingmei's doing. I hadn't originally planned to come, but I accepted the invitation after I guessed I might see this half piece of embroidery at the auction."

Yu Tang was very sincere and told the truth without hiding anything.

Zhou Shenye suddenly made a joke, "But during the entire auction today, I didn't see anyone who looked like your blind date. Where was he hiding?"

Yu Tang shook his head. "I find it strange too. Not only did he not show up, but even President Su, who has ties to Yu Jingmei, didn't show up. I wonder what this family is up to."

Zhou Shenye suddenly asked, "Is it because they don't like you that they deliberately didn't show up?"

It's a joke, but it's not funny at all.

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere became even colder and more tense.

Fortunately, Yu Tang didn't care about such comments at all. "Maybe, it's better this way. I don't have to bother making up excuses to deceive Yu Jingmei."

After a pause, he continued, "Can I trade this secret with you?"

There was something else behind the words. It was about the one million, but it also seemed like there was another metaphor.

Zhou Shenye said nothing, looking at Yu Tang with a somewhat gloomy expression.

After a few seconds, he raised his eyes and met Yu Tang's gaze. "I accept this secret. We are even."

But Yu Tang had no intention of clearing the air. "What about you? Are you hiding a secret from me?"

Zhou Shenye was stunned for a second, then replied in a deep voice, "If so, will you forgive me?"

Yu Tang answered simply and firmly, "No."

Zhou Shenye gave a wry smile and said half-seriously, "Then I have to hurry and make this secret known to the public without anyone noticing before you discover the flaw."

His usual nonchalant attitude made it hard to tell whether he was joking or was really sincere.

Yu Tang was already feeling uneasy, and was even more annoyed by his attitude.

The more times like this happen, the less I want to speak properly. I always feel that every word is a waste.

Fortunately, before the atmosphere in the car dropped to freezing point, it was broken by a violent ringing of a cell phone.

A strange number called Yu Tang's cell phone.

When she picked up the phone, her tone was not very good, "Hello, what's the matter?"

After hearing the other party's anxious explanation of his intentions, Yu Tang's expression changed and his eyes darkened. "Okay, I'll be right there."

Before the call was hung up, Zhou Shenye asked, "What happened?"

Yu Tang asked anxiously, "Are you free now? If nothing else, take me to the Central Hospital."

Her car was parked in the underground garage of the exhibition hall, which was several hundred meters away. Time was running out and she really didn't want to go through the trouble anymore.

Besides, with Zhou Shenye's driving skills, he could get to the hospital faster.

Seeing Yu Tang's urgency, Zhou Shenye immediately started the car, bypassed the other cars blocking the road in front, and drove straight towards the Central Hospital.

Only after the car slowed down did he ask again, "Who's sick?"

The person who could make Yu Tang rush to the hospital to visit him is definitely not an ordinary person.

But the following answer was beyond Zhou Shenye's expectations.

"Diao Ran was admitted to the hospital with severe bleeding. The emergency nurse had treated her sister and, knowing our situation, called me."

"Heavy bleeding?" Zhou Shenye didn't react to what this meant for a moment.

Yu Tang's tone became more serious, "She is pregnant."

Zhou Shenye's eyebrows moved slightly, "Shen Zhi's?"

nonsense.

Although Diao Ran is somewhat unscrupulous in order to make money for her younger siblings and has a bit of a green tea personality, she is not that lowly. Of course, she only has Shen Zhi as her man.

In fact, what Zhou Shenye meant by this question is - why did Diao Ran go to the hospital because of heavy bleeding? It was Yu Tang who went to the hospital to see her. Why did Meimei, the culprit who made her pregnant, disappear?

Yu Tang understood Zhou Shenye's concerns. She sighed, "Diao Ran hung out with my ex-girlfriend at my birthday party and pretended to make a deal with me, playing a double-cross. She did do a lot of things that wronged me, but strangely, I can't really hate her."

Zhou Shenye heard this with mixed feelings, "It's hard to change human nature. Diao Ran didn't turn bad after meeting Shen Zhi. You don't need to try to persuade her to change. It's useless. Don't be stupid."

"The reason is that all this is Shen Zhi's fault. Diao Ran is just a pawn used by him. It's quite pitiful."

Zhou Shenye smiled helplessly, "Why didn't I think you were such a kind person before? You're suddenly so tolerant towards your enemies. I'm not used to it all of a sudden."

The depressing atmosphere just now finally eased a little.

Yu Tang said, "What do you mean by 'before'? How long have you known me, and you know what I was like before?"

“Whether you understand a person or not does not depend on how long you have known him or her.”

After Zhou Shenye said this, he paused for two seconds and emphasized his tone.

"Besides, how can you tell how long I've known you? What if I knew you before you knew me?"
