Chapter 122 – KO! (1)

Lu Beichuan’s gaze lingered on Ye Zhen.

“What ex-girlfriend? How come I don’t know about this?” He lightly replied and silently sat down next to Ye Zhen. Calm and stable, he was like a restrained dark horse. Wrapping one arm around Ye Zhen’s waist, he glanced at the drink in Ye Zhen’s hand and whispered, “What is that?”

Ye Zhen brought the drink to his nose. It had the fresh scent of orange juice.

“Orange juice.”

“You’re pregnant. Don’t drink any alcohol.”

Ye Zhen stared at him. “I know, I know. You’ve said it so many times already. So annoying.”

Lu Beichuan smiled. His gaze was warm. “If you get tired later, go rest. We’ll go home right after dinner.”

The two of them chatted back and forth as if there was no one else present.

Ye Qing lightly coughed. She picked up the red wine on the table to hide her gaze when she checked out Shen Weiyin’s reaction.

As an actress that had won countless awards, Shen Weiyin had reached great heights in her ability to control her expressions. All of the actors and directors that she had worked with had praised her acting skills. Even if Ye Zhen and Lu Beichuan were being lovey-dovey in front of her, her expression remained unchanged. She looked at Lu Beichuan as if she was only looking at an ordinary friend.

Ye Qing raised her eyebrows. She was surprised that Shen Weiyin could remain so calm.

“Beichuan, it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other.” Shen Weiyin smiled at Lu Beichuan. Her gaze was restrained, and her tone was smooth. “I’ve been worried about you since the car accident. I went to visit you several times when you were in a coma, but you look fine now.”

Hearing Shen Weiyin speaking, Lu Beichuan finally turned his gaze towards her. He nodded and said, “Thank you for your concern.”

Shen Weiyin raised her glass to toast Ye Zhen. “Miss Ye, excuse us, Beichuan and I are old friends. Surely, you won’t mind us reminiscing about the past, right?”

Shen Weiyin had already brought this up so straightforwardly. If she didn’t agree, she would look petty.

Besides, she already knew what kind of relationship Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan had. The relationship she alluded to was just Shen Weiyin’s unrealized fantasy. She had already missed her chance.

If Shen Weiyin was willing to ruin her public image and be seen as the other woman by renewing the rumors of her relationship with Lu Beichuan, Ye Zhen didn’t mind seeing a new hot gossip item in the entertainment industry.

Just as Ye Zhen was about to nod in agreement, Lu Beichuan corrected Shen Weiyin. “Zhenzhen is already my wife. Calling her Miss Ye isn’t suitable. I think Miss Shen should address her as Mrs. Lu.”

He cast a glance at Shen Weiyin before his gaze went back to Ye Zhen.

The smile on Shen Weiyin’s face stiffened, but she very quickly recovered and used a gentle smile to cover up her embarrassment. “Sorry, I’m just not used to you having a wife. It’s all so sudden. I remember in college you said...”

“That’s already in the past,” Lu Beichuan indifferently interrupted. It was obvious that he didn’t want her to continue.

However, this perked up Ye Zhen’s interest. She asked, “What did you say in college?”

“Don’t remember.” Lu Beichuan tried to brush over the topic.

“Tell me. I want to know.” She was sure that someone like Lu Beichuan would have made fine speeches about magnificent aspirations in his youth.

Lu Beichuan furrowed his brow. He looked as if he was at his wit’s end when he looked at Ye Zhen. A while later, he finally helplessly said, “Don’t be such a troublemaker.”

Ye Zhen thought, alright fine, she should give him some face when they were outside.
