Early the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight fell on Ye Chen's face, he awoke with a sense of awareness.

Ye Chen didn't linger in bed, because he had an appointment to keep. He had promised Chu Yanran that he would have a meal with the Empress and listen to her confide her thoughts.

"Are you going to keep an appointment?" Zhang Xinlan asked, looking at the very ethereal Ye Chen, suddenly breaking the silence.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Ye Chen replied, a sense of unease starting to bubble up inside him.

"You're having lunch with Chu Yanran, aren't you?" Zhang Xinlan's words transformed Ye Chen's unease into reality.

"You even know about this?!" Ye Chen was astonished.

Ye Chen realized that someone must have tipped off Zhang Xinlan, and that person could only be Su Binglan!

What on earth was Su Binglan trying to do?

She had first "brainwashed" Liu Shihua, causing the star to throw herself at him, then struck some kind of agreement with Zhang Xinlan, and finally spilled the beans about his and Chu Yanran's meeting. This witch had ulterior motives, intent on throwing his harem into chaos!

Ye Chen felt it was necessary to take control of Su Binglan. This woman was too disobedient, constantly causing him trouble!

"Do you like Chu Yanran?" Zhang Xinlan cutely asked, her eyes nearly plastered onto Ye Chen's face.

"What nonsense are you spouting? She's someone with a child already!" Ye Chen said, frustrated.

"To win a breathtakingly beautiful Empress, and to gain a bonus son, it's like killing two birds with one stone!" Zhang Xinlan smirked as if she could see right through Ye Chen's true intentions.

"Zhang Xinlan, I am warning you sternly, even if you are my dearest love, you cannot slander me like this!" Ye Chen spoke with righteous indignation.

"Ye Chen!" Zhang Xinlan looked up at him.

"Wife, haven't you noticed? We are definitely the perfect couple in terms of height. You just need to look up to kiss me!" Ye Chen shared this observation with great pride.

Zhang Xinlan was tall and Ye Chen was just half a head taller than her. Together, they were like a match made in heaven; a golden boy with a jade girl, a perfect match of talent and beauty!

Ye Chen admired his own taste in partners, indeed, they were a pair made by fate!

"Ye Chen, don't change the subject!" Zhang Xinlan said angrily, already aware that they were a natural match. "Ye Chen, you better behave and not play any tricks on me!"

...

Ye Chen was sitting in a top-of-the-line Cayenne; he was in the passenger seat, with Ye Wushuang driving.

"Where are we going?" Ye Chen asked, Ye Wushuang's driving was so rapid it almost made him dizzy.

"Why so chatty?" Ye Wushuang said impatiently. "I drive, you sit."

"Can't we talk about something else?"

"..."

Suddenly, Ye Chen saw a familiar signpost and his expression instantly turned exceedingly odd, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"This bastard, does he really have nothing to say to her?" Ye Wushuang drove steadily, her inner turmoil rising to anger. This guy was too oblivious to a woman's affections!

"Unparalleled Sister!" Ye Chen softly said.

"Hmm?"

Ye Wushuang tensed. Why was he addressing her like that? Didn't he usually call her Miss Ye?

"Ye Chen, what were you about to say just now?" Ye Wushuang took the initiative to ask, without looking at Ye Chen, displaying her beautiful profile instead.

Ye Wushuang had deliberately dressed up today, unsure of her own motives, but she just wanted to get closer to Ye Chen.

"Nothing important!" Ye Chen shook his head and chose to remain silent.

"This jerk, is he deliberately making fun of her?!" Ye Wushuang was slightly angry inside.

Ye Chen quietly looked out the window. After a while, indeed another familiar signpost flashed past his field of vision.

"Unparalleled Sister, do you have something you want to tell me?" Ye Chen looked at Ye Wushuang seriously.

"No!" Ye Wushuang replied curtly.

"No, you definitely have something. You must have something you want to tell me!" Ye Chen insisted confidently.

"Ye Chen, you've realized you're quite self-delusional. Who has something to say to you?" Ye Wushuang replied indignantly.

Taking the initiative was supposed to be a man's forte, wasn't it? Why wasn't he playing by the rules?

"Do you like me?" Ye Chen asked.

"..." Ye Wushuang was speechless. Could he make his words any more direct?

"I know for sure you like me. You want to catch my attention, and you wore this dress today just for me to see, right?" Ye Chen observed Ye Wushuang. "You're not only wearing a beautiful dress today, but you've also taken great care with your makeup and brows!"

"To be honest, you've made yourself up so attractively, are you trying to pursue me?"
