Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 529 - 526

Hujin Club.

Su Xi drained her glass of red wine in one go and stared at Ye Zhenzhen in amazement, "Is everything you just said true?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded gloomily, "Not a single word is false."

Right now, she was concerned about her relationship with Song Jinze and didn’t know who to talk to until Su Xi appeared.

In Ye Zhenzhen’s mind, she still clearly remembered the words that Su Xi had said to her at Anshan Hospital, which had rather seemed like advice from a love coach.

So now, as they drank together, she roughly told Su Xi about the recent events between her and Song Jinze, seeking even a glimmer of a solution.

Su Xi couldn’t help but tease, "I never thought that the seemingly aloof President Song would be such a pure-hearted man!"

She had decided to fly to Jiangcheng on a whim today. The collaboration between the Su Family and Huanya Group didn’t necessitate her personal presence; her real purpose was to see Zhenzhen.

Unexpectedly, however, she learned about this amusing episode between President Song and his wife.

Half a year into their arranged marriage without sharing a room, and just when they did, they bickered, with none other than President Song himself leading the charge.

Any woman would find it baffling, let alone someone like Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow in disdain, "He’s not innocent; he’s covertly racy and moreover, dark-hearted."

At the beginning, when she had no feelings for him, she hadn’t noticed. But as time passed and they interacted more, she discovered this man was actually quite a sly character.

Just like his unusual attitude the past couple of days.

She had thought about simply calling the man to ask what exactly he meant, yet feared he might just respond by saying she was overthinking it.

If she persisted further, wouldn’t that just prove she was being unreasonable?

She had acted in countless scenes and had played the role of a wife before, but she had never encountered a man as inscrutable as Song Jinze.

It was frustrating and depressing.

Su Xi rested her chin in one hand, pensive, "Compared to other men, President Song is indeed a bit dark-hearted. I truly didn’t expect that with such a beauty like you around him all day, he could still hold himself back."

"So how did you feel about your first time together a couple of days ago?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

Caught off guard by the direct question, she was a bit embarrassed.

Su Xi’s smile deepened, slapping Ye Zhenzhen on the shoulder like an older sister, "Zhenzhen, marriage is like this. There’s nothing to be shy about. Or should I go straight to the point and ask how good your man is at pleasing you!"

Service?

Ye Zhenzhen’s fair cheeks flushed even more, despite her typically bold and carefree personality, the memory of that night a couple of days ago made her cheeks turn red involuntarily.

She pressed her lips together, "It was all okay, I guess."

Aside from that response, she didn’t know how else to describe it.

At first, it was painful, the man initially seemed a bit unskilled, but then he got the hang of it as he fumbled, and after that, she fell into a deep sleep...

Su Xi nodded thoughtfully, reflecting for a few minutes before concluding, "He’s got you where he wants you."

Ye Zhenzhen: "?"

Su Xi shifted her position, sitting up straight, and in the tone of a marital coach, she said, "Song Jinze isn’t an ordinary man, his self-control is extremely strong. Since he’s touched you but hasn’t completely neglected you, there are only two possibilities. One is that he really has been too occupied with official business recently, so he didn’t have time for you.

The other possibility, I think, is that he’s deliberately holding back, avoiding contact with you, not touching you, waiting for you to get anxious so that he can have the upper hand."

Astounded and perplexed, Ye Zhenzhen’s clear, distinct eyes were filled with surprise. Su Xi’s first option was definitely not the case, and concerning the second, she wasn’t quite sure.

Before this, the feeling that man had given her was surely not like this at all; she could distinctly sense his love for her and the doting shown in those inky eyes. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"But he’s not that busy either; he came home quite early yesterday..."

He had even explained about Lu Sangning and had brought her a gift.

Su Xi waved her hand, "Sister, you’re experiencing these things for the first time and don’t understand yet. The affairs between men and women are just a bit of tugging back and forth. With Song Jinze’s achievements today, if his thoughts could be easily guessed, he wouldn’t be sitting firmly in the position of President of Huanya Group."

"Believe me, if you use the right method, it’s not a problem to grasp the little tricks in a man’s heart within minutes."

Ye Zhenzhen’s delicate lips moved slightly, her usually bright and exquisite eyes and brows appeared somewhat naive at the moment, which Su Xi found extremely cute.

"Zhenzhen, you’re done for, your eyes tell me that you’ve fallen for him first."

Liu Rui sighed, "Us women are like this, innately more emotional than men; once we fall in love, we can’t contain ourselves. You better restrain yourself while you’re not in too deep."

"You can like and admire a man who holds a high position, but never be the first to fall in love, or you’ll suffer the consequences later."

Ye Zhenzhen blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes, "Is that so? What should I do next then?"

Although she felt that Su Xi’s words were both right and wrong, she couldn’t pin down exactly why.

Su Xi raised her eyebrows, a determined look in her eyes, "Come on, I’ll take you somewhere; we’ll talk as we walk, or we won’t have enough time..."

...

At the entrance to the study, Ye Zhenzhen stood holding a glass of milk, pursed her lips, and freed one hand to gather her nightgown around herself.

When she had come back, the servant said that Song Jinze was in the study, so she went back to her room to take a bath and changed into the nightgown Su Xi had chosen for her before actively seeking him out.

Initially resistant to such actions, Ye Zhenzhen was persuaded by Su Xi, who said, "We’re not calling this compromising or pleasing, it’s about taking the initiative."

Right, to avoid being manipulated by that bastard, she was all in.

The advice from someone who has been there is always right.

After checking, she pulled her gathered nightgown open a little more, then raised her hand and knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in."

Inside the study, Song Jinze spoke without even lifting his eyelids, his deep-set pupils half-closed as he read the chat messages from Secretary Zhang on his computer:

[President, I’ve had someone confirm. If it’s the same person, it’s impossible for their temperament to change so drastically in such a short time, nor for there to be such a great change in acting skills. Regarding Madam’s previous and recent information, everything that could be gathered is here, please have a look.]

Ye Zhenzhen pushed the door and went in, "I poured you a glass of milk. Drink this before you continue working."

Her voice was soft and sweet. As she approached the man, he raised a hand to shut his laptop.

The moment Song Jin looked up, the woman’s tender figure unexpectedly came into view, her slender neck and gracefully curved figure discernible through the loose, sheer nightgown, her fair skin dazzling like the finest satin.

And there were her long, straight legs, exposed and standing right beside him.

A shadow fell across his eyes, his Adam’s apple involuntarily rolled, and for an instant as he breathed in, a sweet fragrance lingered at his nostrils.

It was pleasant and enticing.

His mind was immediately flooded with memories of that night...

"You... when did you come back?"

As he spoke, the man’s already deep voice had a hint of repressed hoarseness.

In his heart, what he actually wanted to ask was not that question...
