The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chapter 126

Ye Zexi and He Jinyun only stayed in England for seven days.

In these seven days, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun stayed at Zhuang Lan’s house most of the time.

Zhuang Lan had a very nice personality, and Ye Zexi chatted with her very speculatively. From the beginning, the topic revolved around He Jinyun, and at the end the two of them even started to chat about gossip in the entertainment industry.

Although Zhuang Lan was living in foreign country, Ye Zexi found out after such a chat with her that Zhuang Lan was very well versed in domestic entertainment gossip.

Not only did she know about them, it was more like she knew them in detail.

Zhuang Lan knew all about the gossip that Ye Zexi didn’t know!

While Ye Zexi was shocked, he soon realized one thing. He was suddenly stunned, his dark eyes widened slightly as he asked Zhuang Lan with the last trace of luck: “Then Teacher He and I, you also…”

Zhuang Lan smiled and nodded as she said, “Yes, I knew it from the beginning.”

“I know my son very well. If you are not someone he likes, let alone promoting the CP, even his public relations team will immediately clarify. I saw that after one day, his public relations team still had not come out to clarify, I knew that he must have some interest in you!” Zhuang Lan winked at Ye Zexi.

Ye Zexi: “…”

So He Jinyun liked him that early, was it true that the whole world knows it, only Ye Zexi was the last to know it?

Ye Zexi felt very hurt.

In order to comfort Ye Zexi, Zhuang Lan took out a thick album: “Okay, Xi Xi, let’s not dwell on the past. Do you want to know what Jinyun was when he was a child?”

Speaking of the photo album, Ye Zexi immediately became energetic, and hurriedly went over to look at the photo album with Zhuang Lan.

The two sitting on the sofa leaned against each other, with a thick photo album in front of him. Ye Zexi would be happy to see a funny photo.

Zhuang Lan was even more happy. The album was slowly filled with memories; she had thought of sharing it with Ye Zexi before. She was able to wait until this day, Zhuang Lan was naturally excited.

When the snow in London stopped, Zhuang Lan took Ye Zexi to visit her studio.

He Jinyun did mention before that he would like to come by her studio to visit, but Zhuang Lan refused.

He Jinyun took a deep breath, he couldn’t help but complain: “Mom, you are a little bit biased.”

Regarding this, Zhuang Lan did not care at all, and even replied confidently: “What’s wrong with me being biased?”

He Jinyun: “…”

Ye Zexi laughed unceremoniously.

He Jinyun’s face was full of helplessness, but when he saw the smile on Zhuang Lan’s face, the corners of his mouth curled up.

In these short few days, the smile hardly disappeared from Zhuang Lan’s face.

Zhuang Lan really liked Ye Zexi.

So on the day of them leaving, she would be particularly sad.

That morning, He Jinyun and Ye Zexi had not left yet, they were just packing up their things.

Zhuang Lan saw this scene and turned her head with red eyes.

He Jinyun felt uncomfortable when he saw it, but he was still overwhelmed and he said to Zhuang Lan, “Do you want to come back to China with us for a short time?”

He Jinyun had wanted to say that she can work as a designer wherever she wants. This was not a reason at all.

But He Jinyun did not choose to expose Zhuang Lan, he just nodded: “Then, maybe in a near future.”

Zhuang Lan understood what he meant, and the corners of her mouth curved up as she nodded: “Okay, I’m waiting for the good news from you two!”

Ye Zexi just came over at this moment and asked a little puzzled: “What good news?”

“I won’t tell you for now!” Zhuang Lan snorted softly.

Ye Zexi didn’t mind, just smiled and nodded: “Okay, don’t say it, don’t say it.”

*

Their flight was in the afternoon, and Zhuang Lan personally drove them to the airport.

It was indispensable to be sad when parting. Ye Zexi was okay at first, but when he saw Zhuang Lan’s red eyes, he suddenly couldn’t hold it, and turned his head away with red eyes.

While He Jinyun comforted Zhuang Lan, he wanted to coax Ye Zexi.

When they passed the security check, Zhuang Lan burst into tears on the spot.

Ye Zexi felt even more uncomfortable after seeing it.

He Jinyun pressed Ye Zexi’s head into his arms, not allowing him to look at the scene.

“Go back quickly. Be careful when driving on the road.” He Jinyun said to Zhuang Lan.

Zhuang Lan promised them, but she waited until the two of them passed the security check and they were no longer visible before wiping away tears and walking to the parking lot.

Ye Zexi had been a little sad, and did not speak much when waiting for the flight.

It wasn’t until he got on the plane that he took a moment to relax, and asked He Jinyun: “Why does Auntie not want to go back with us to stay for a short time?”

He Jinyun glanced at Ye Zexi in surprise.

Ye Zexi rubbed his face and sighed: “You guys were talking about it, of course I heard it.”

But at that time, Ye Zexi thought it was better to pretend not to hear.

He Jinyun didn’t expect it to be like this. He smiled and said, “It’s not that my mother doesn’t want to go back, because of her divorce, she has cut all ties with her family.”

Ye Zexi frowned.

As the plane took off, He Jinyun stretched out his hand, clasped his fingers with Ye Zexi, and continued: “You know that my parents’ marriage is a business marriage, and there are many exchanges of interest between the two. At that time, my mom was about to divorce my dad. There was a lot of trouble. My grandmother threatened her and said that if my mother insists on getting a divorce, then my mother will have nothing to do with the family all together.”

“Nevertheless, my mother still chose to divorce.” He Jinyun looked down, the plane took off, and a sense of weightlessness struck him. He slightly tightened his hand on Ye Zexi’s hand, “Her family and my dad are the reason she does not want to come back.”

Once Zhuang Lan comes back, there will be endless troubles waiting for her again.

That’s why Zhuang Lan hasn’t returned to China for many years, and even He Jinyun has been neglected all this time.

After listening to He Jinyun’s words, Ye Zexi didn’t know how to comfort him for a while, so he could only hold He Jinyun’s hand tightly.

The scenery outside the window gradually became smaller, and the sky was a blue empty space. He Jinyun lowered his eyes and looked at their intertwined hands, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

In fact, this is not bad.

Zhuang Lan has her own life.

It won’t be long before he will have his own home. Thinking of this, He Jinyun’s mood suddenly became much brighter.

*

Coming back from England, waiting for He Jinyun was a lot of things that needed to be dealt with.

Immediately after getting off the plane, He Jinyun was being taken away by a phone call before he even had time to rest. Yu Ye helped bringing his luggage to Ye Zexi’s house.

Compared with He Jinyun’s busy schedule, Ye Zexi was much more leisurely.

Because Ye Zexi had not signed a contract this year!

Gao Shu wanted to get Ye Zexi to sign, but who knew that as soon as the crew of “After the Rain” was finished, Ye Zexi went to England and would no longer be in China for the New Year.

Gao Shu could not just organize all the information into documents and send it to Ye Zexi during New Year’s greetings, right?

That would definitely arouse Ye Zexi’s rebellious mind, let alone signing any contract at that time, he was afraid that Ye Zexi would not accept any advertisements!

After coming and going, Ye Zexi is really about to take a year-round vacation.

It could be said that Gao Shu really understands Ye Zexi.

Originally, Ye Zexi had already thought about it. If Gao Shu were to talk to him about work on New Year’s Eve, he would use this against his agent. For the next six months, he would not need to receive announcements!

Since Gao Shuhad successfully predicted Ye Zexi’s intention, Ye Zexi’s plan had completely failed.

Even after Ye Zexi returned to China, Gao Shu did not immediately contact Ye Zexi, but waited until the Lantern Festival was approaching before contacting Ye Zexi.

First of all, Gao Shu didn’t talk about signing a contract, but asked Ye Zexi what kind of dress Ye Zexi would like for the annual awards ceremony at the end of February.

And Gao Shu also specifically mentioned that if Ye Zexi wants to wear a couple outfit with He Jinyun, he will also contact He Jinyun’s designers in advance to let them know.

Look, how considerate he was!

Isn’t it justified not to sign a contract?

So, after discussing these things with Gao Shu that day, Ye Zexi reluctantly signed an endorsement.

This time, it was Bulgari’s full endorsement.

Ye Zexi was still satisfied with this endorsement, and after signing the contract, he immediately sent a message to Zhuang Lan and shared the good news with her.

Zhuang Lan was even happier.

The two chatted for a long time, and Ye Zexi even forgot to tell He Jinyun about it.

As a result, He Jinyun became the last person to know.

He Jinyun was the last one to see the Weibo where Bulgari officially announced the spokesperson.

Regarding this, He Jinyun also made a special call to Ye Zexi to ask questions.

Ye Zexi’s explanation was as follows: “Who made you always leave early and return late during this time? Sometimes I fell asleep when you got home! You already left the house when I woke up in the morning, where do I find the time to tell you?”

He Jinyun: “…”

How come it is now his ignorance?

Indeed, it was true. After returning from England, He Jinyun rarely stayed with Ye Zexi during this period of time.

I can only blame myself.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and He Jinyun softened his tone: “Then you will come with me tomorrow?”

“Who wants to be with you?” Ye Zexi muttered dissatisfied, “Isn’t it good for me to watch anime at home?”

He Jinyun chuckled, “It’s good, but I want you to accompany me, can’t you?”

The man’s voice was originally low and sweet, and it was even more magnetic when he was talking with a smile. Ye Zexi’s ears were instantly red when he heard it, as if there was an electric current passing by, causing a burst of heat.1

Ye Zexi covered his hot ears and lost his resolution in an instant. After a while, he resigned and said, “Okay.”

So the next day, all the staff found that there was Ye Zexi in He Jinyun’s office.

Staff member:”……”

It was really difficult for them, because they were forced to eat dog food at work!

Time flew by fast, and it was the end of February in the blink of an eye.

The Golden Bird Awards ceremony this year was more grand than previous years, and many internationally renowned celebrities and directors had been invited.

According to Gao Shu’s words, even if Ye Zexi didn’t win the prize, just by showing his face, he would have a higher chance to ask for a high pay if he were to work with any directors.

Ye Zexi asked back: “I still need to talk to the director about the pay?”

Gao Shu thought for a while and was silent.

Right.

After all, Ye Zexi was the one who rejected two international directors, Chen Zhengtian and Li Kai!

Would Ye Zexi worry about not having resources and scripts?

Gao Shu had been worrying too much!

Gao Shu didn’t expect that at the awards ceremony tonight, Ye Zexi not only won the prize, but also won two!
