NovelEnglishChapter 2085: Awkward
Ye Jian, who wanted to leave now, had already understood the deep meaning behind Hou Zi’s burning gaze. She quickly found an excuse and said that she could not stay for dinner. She received Hou Zi’s satisfied smile and Xia Yiwei’s disappointed expression.
Ye Jian, who was sitting on pins and needles, was not even looking at Ye Ying’s video recording any longer.
Compared to Hou Zi and Xia Yiwei’s calmness, Ye Jian was still a little inexperienced.
Hou Zi quickly calmed down. The awkwardness just now did not affect him at all. He explained generously, “Sister Yiwei and I are not young anymore. The old master and old madam have been asking us to bear a child. In order not to disappoint the two of us, we have to hurry up when it’s still the holidays.”
It was fine if he had not explained, but once he did, Ye Jian felt even more awkward.
Interrupting the process of the two of them trying to bear a child… Should she apologize?

Forget it, she should pretend not to know anything!
Her unnatural behavior made Hou Zi laugh out loud.
Little Six’s partner was an interesting person. She did not even frown when she attacked, but when they talked about adult topics, she was so innocent that he… wanted to tease her.
Forget it, he was not going to tease today. With Little Six’s protective nature, he would definitely return the favor.
His smile finally resolved the awkwardness in Ye Jian’s heart and the unnatural expression on her face. “Alright, alright. I won’t say anymore. If I continue, I’m afraid your face will burn red. Come, have a cup of tea first.”
He picked up the cup of tea beside her and took a sip elegantly.
Ye Jian, who was feeling awkward, looked at the man in front of her who was no longer as cheeky as before. He now looked like a mature and elegant man. She felt that he no longer had the ruthlessness from the first time they met.
The 40-year-old Hou Zi had the calmness of someone who had been through a lot. It was like he was just sitting idly in the bamboo forest, looking at the clouds. Of course, this was just a facade. It was easy to look down on him.
As soon as the real Hou Zi spoke, however, his cold expression hid a murderous aura.
He waved the video recording that he had just received from France and said with a smile, “This recording is of Director Ye’s precious daughter enjoying the nightlife in France while she was studying there. You can take a look.”
A video recording of Ye Ying enjoying the nightlife in France?
Taking the small rectangular video player, Ye Jian began to watch it under Hou Zi’s signal. When her dark eyes saw the contents of the video, a faint light flashed past them.
Closing the player, Ye Jian pursed her lips and asked Hou Zi softly, “Brother Zi, did… Captain Xia ask you to do this?” It was a question and an affirmation.

This was because as long as it was about her or the Ye family, this man who loved her deeply would always secretly help her.
He had done too many things for her. He had done so much that if he did not mention it, she would never know.
Hou Zi didn’t find it strange that Ye Jian suspected this. He smiled and teased, “Other than Little Six, no one else can do this. He did a good deed without making it known. How noble!”
Back then, when Xia Jinyuan asked him to keep an eye on Director Ye’s daughter, he said that he did not need to tell Ye Jian about it for the time being. The reason why he did not want to tell her was simple. He did not want Ye Jian, who had just entered military school, to be distracted.
Little Six’s affection… Yes, it was comparable to his. They were both good men who were loyal to their women and had no complaints.
While praising Xia Jinyuan in his heart, Hou Zi did not forget to praise himself as well.
Xia Jinyuan was not the only shameless person. Hou Zi was also an outstandingly shameless person.
