One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 824 - 822: Ye Dashi Extra (11)

Ye Zheng knew she had something to say, so she just sat quietly, wanting to hear what she had to say—

Talking to him so abruptly on the phone, if it wasn’t something major, she would never have taken the initiative to ask him out.

A moment later, as Phoenix stirred her coffee, she said, "The Feng Family is facing some issues, so I wanted to ask you, if I really marry you, what benefits would the Ye Family give to the Feng Family?"

Ye Zheng frowned slightly, staring at her with deep eyes, then suddenly laughed, "You’re really direct. What’s happening with the Feng Family that requires you to sacrifice your marriage by marrying an extremely annoying man?"

Phoenix had mentally prepared herself for a round of ridicule before coming here; she just didn’t expect his calm counter-question, almost like the normal concern of a friend.

It felt so strange.

Could Ye Zheng, this scoundrel, really be so kind-hearted?

"... You said last time you didn’t want to deal with feelings, and I actually can’t live with a man, so I think it might be suitable. I’ve said what I needed to say, get back to me when you’ve made up your mind. I’ll be leaving now."

After speaking, Phoenix got up directly, but the man suddenly stretched out his hand, pressing her hand, preventing her withdrawal.

Her pupils slightly dilated, feeling a bit uncomfortable with this touch, but not particularly unpleasant.

Logically, she should hate it immensely, why doesn’t she?

Ye Zheng was also shocked by his sudden action, lowering his gaze and retracting his hand, his refined face carrying a hint of apology, "I was a bit reckless just now. Sit down, don’t leave yet, I can answer your question now."

Phoenix considered herself not much of a compliant person, but inexplicably, she listened to this man’s words, sat back down with her head lowered awkwardly, waiting quietly for his follow-up.

"I think we’re quite suitable, I agree to the marriage," Ye Zheng said calmly, "As for the benefits you mentioned, I cannot guarantee them for now, but I will try my best. From a business perspective, a union between our families really isn’t a bad thing, is it?"

"It is—" Phoenix completely agreed with this point, slowly raising her head, "So this matter is settled then?"

"Sort of!" Ye Zheng smiled, taking a sip of coffee, "Besides, I originally had plans to marry you, this way... it’s quite nice."

Phoenix: "..."

The man’s expression was so serene, yet it always conveyed an undeniable power.

She actually felt at ease having him around.

Since her unfortunate parents’ passing, she hadn’t felt this way again—

"I understand, thank you," she said.

She hadn’t expected that one day, during her most difficult time, it would be the man she disliked the most who would extend a helping hand.

"Hungry?" Ye Zheng suddenly asked, "I heard the desserts here are pretty good, want some?"

Phoenix was taken aback, "I don’t really like sweet stuff."

"Oh, I see! That’s a pity. I once knew someone who could eat an entire cake in one go, she was so happy eating it. Girls should eat more sweets to stay cheerful and not frown all the time."

Phoenix frowned, "Are you implying that I frown all the time?"

"Uh, that’s not what I meant." Ye Zheng smiled, "Just saying casually, don’t take it to heart, you don’t need to be so sensitive. Carefree girls are cute."

Phoenix instantly blew up, stood abruptly, her gaze coldly fixed on the man, "Mr. Ye, I’m not like ordinary girls, so please be more aware in the future, mutual respect is very important."

Ye Zheng looked up at her in a daze, seeing her puffed-up look, she had the expression a girl should have, chuckling, "You’re quite cute when you’re angry."

Phoenix: "..."
