Chapter 40: Strange Discovery

Ye Fei felt as if her face had exploded with a ‘boom’ and it became unbearably hot.
The tip of her nose pushed against his shirt, so the scent of mint was even stronger from his body.
Zhao Gushen lowered his head. His burning gaze landed on her forehead.
One of Ye Fei’s hands was still grabbing onto Ye Xiaomo while her other hand was pushing against Zhao Gushen helplessly.
Her face became red all over.
“Don’t randomly touch me with your hand,” Zhao Gushen’s accusing tone sounded like she had taken advantage of him on purpose.
Ye Fei was confused.
Didn’t she simply push him once?
His throat rolled hard before he slowly backed away.
Finally, Ye Fei acquired more breathing space. But she was so embarrassed that she lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at him.
Ye Xiaomo was stunned silly!
Was… Was he the one who gave Zhao Gushen the opportunity to take advantage of Xiao Fei?!
Ye Xiaomo was so angry that he extended his chubby little hand and smacked his palm onto Zhao Gushen’s mouth.
Zhao Gushen: “…”
Zhao Gushen glanced at Ye Xiaomo indifferently before he finally moved away.
Then, he took Ye Xiaomo’s hand away and told Ye Fei with a serious expression, “Sorry, I lost my balance just now.”
What else could Ye Fei say?
But she couldn’t bring herself to believe his words.
How could Ye Xiaomo’s puny strength possibly move Zhao Gushen just by tugging on him?
Ye Fei hurriedly shifted out of Zhao Gushen’s arms. How could she possibly dare to go to the convenience store alone with him by now?
She instantly called Ye Xiaomo to join them. “Since Xiao Mo wants to come along, then let’s go together.”
Zhao Gushen proceeded to place Ye Xiaomo on the floor before he tidied up the shirt that Ye Xiaomo messed up with his pulling.
Then, the trio went out together.
As soon as they arrived at the convenience store opposite the neighborhood, Ye Fei quickly found male slippers.
She made a quick comparison and guessed that this must be about the same size.
Ye Fei then brought it to the cashier and footed the bill.
Zhao Gushen held onto Ye Xiaomo’s hand as he stood beside her. They looked like a family of three.
Li Xiaoyun strolled leisurely to the conveninece store but she stopped at the entrance. When she saw that Ye Fei and Ye Xiaomo were currently together with a man, she instantly stopped in her tracks and hid herself.
This afternoon, Li Xiaoyun had a meeting with a client outdoors. But since she didn’t have anything to do after the meeting, she didn’t return to the company.
She wanted to visit Ye Xiaomo, so she came to the convenience store to buy some snacks for him on the way.
But in the end, before she could even enter the doors of the convenience store, she saw Ye Fei standing together with a man from beyond the huge glass door.
But this still wasn’t the most shocking thing.
The most shocking thing was—the man was Zhao Gushen!
They had just talked about him last night. The Zhao family heir, Chang Ping Corporation’s president and a person of authority from the Zhao family.
But there was something even more shocking than that!
Li Xiaoyun made a strange discovery all of a sudden—why did Ye Xiaomo look so similar to Zhao Gushen?!
In the past, this thought had never crossed her mind. Firstly, she never had any contact with Zhao Gushen before. Secondly, how well could she see the resemblance through a mere photograph?
But as she was looking at Zhao Gushen in the flesh as he stood together with Ye Xiaomo, she could observe better and make a direct comparison.
Li Xiaoyun was horrified to realize that they looked too similar!
This… Ye Xiaomo’s father couldn’t be Zhao Gushen, right?!
Li Xiaoyun also thought that her guess was too wild but she simply couldn’t help thinking about it.
How could Li Xiaoyun possibly go and disturb Ye Fei now? She discreetly ran in a hurry.
But she planned to interrogate Ye Fei properly tonight.
When they got home, Ye Fei took a pair of scissors to cut off the plastic packaging of the slippers for Zhao Gushen.
Afterwards, she went to boil some tea for Zhao Gushen and took out her baked cookies. “I baked these myself so it’s different from what’s sold outside, where they add artificial flavorings and colors. Try some.”
Ye Xiaomo was declaring proudly by the side, “All of my snacks are usually made by my Xiao Fei by herself! They are especially delicious!”
