Chapter 186: Do You Understand Me?

In truth, she did not know that Chen Yu had been secretly dealing with many people who harbored ulterior motives toward her.

"Ms. Ye, thank you for doing me the honor of dining with me. Our Weiye Group's President He has transferred over ten billion in overseas assets back here, intending to make great strides domestically. I wish us a pleasant cooperation." The man raised his wine glass.

But then he immediately set down his glass and said, "My apologies, I forgot that you are pregnant and cannot drink alcohol. How about this: we shall substitute tea for wine. To a pleasant cooperation."

"Thank you for your trust, President Wang. I guarantee that choosing to work with our Jiyun will not disappoint you." Ye Xinyu raised a cup of tea and smiled.

"Haha, then to a pleasant cooperation." This President Wang raised his cup.

"Xinyu?" Just at this moment, Chen Yu walked over.

"Husband, why are you here?" Ye Xinyu was slightly stunned and hurriedly stood up to explain, "Husband, this is President Wang Qiang of Weiye Group. We are discussing a project worth nearly one billion."

"Greetings, Mr. Chen. Your wife has mentioned you before." Wang Qiang smiled as he stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Yu, "We have already finalized the details of the cooperation; we just need to sign the contract in a moment."

"Thank you." Chen Yu shook his hand briefly.

Wang Qiang was very polite and had the appearance of a successful person, but Chen Yu always felt that something about him was not quite right.

"By the way, President Wang, let's sign the contract." Ye Xinyu was a bit anxious; after all, this order was huge, and she had not dared to slack off at all since being promoted to supervisor.

For one, she was pregnant and many people were eyeing her position covetously; for another, she wanted room for further advancement.

"Very well." Wang Qiang took out his briefcase, produced two copies of the contract, and smiled, "Ms. Ye has already looked over the contract this morning, there are no issues, right?"

"No issues, I have checked the contract." Ye Xinyu took the pen and the company seal, ready to sign.

"Don't be in such a hurry." Chen Yu said, "Wife, you had best double-check the details."

"I have already looked over the contract." Ye Xinyu looked at Chen Yu in confusion.

"It is better to take another look; I know a lawyer friend." Chen Yu frowned. Weiye Group—it sounded somewhat familiar.

"Ms. Ye, it seems your husband is not very reassured. You are a strong woman, but your husband and you are likely not in the same company, are they? Can he interfere in your work matters?" Wang Qiang glanced at Chen Yu.

"That is not the case, President Wang. We will sign it right now." Ye Xinyu was anxious; if this order really fell through, her efforts would have been in vain.

"I think we should do it another day." Wang Qiang said as he put away the contract. He stood up and said, "Whenever you have finished discussing it with your husband, we will sign. However, our Weiye Group has immense strength; there are too many companies more qualified for cooperation than your Jiyun."

"President Wang, please listen to my explanation." Ye Xinyu said hurriedly, "We can sign now. I represent Jiyun, there is absolutely no problem."

"Ms. Ye, if the contract affects the relationship between you and your husband, I do not think that is what I want to see." Wang Qiang smiled, "Let's be in touch another day."

Wang Qiang glanced at Chen Yu and walked away.

"President Wang..." Ye Xinyu watched Wang Qiang leave and sat down powerlessly.

"Alright, let's go back first. I seem to have heard of Weiye Group; I will have someone look into it." Chen Yu said.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing?" Ye Xinyu raised her head, anger already on her face.

"What did I do?" Chen Yu looked stunned.

"This is a one-billion project. If we have it, our company's performance will double. Do you know that you ruined my order just because I was having a meal with him at a couple's restaurant?" Ye Xinyu said angrily.

"I did not mean it that way; I just... just wanted to protect you." Chen Yu did not know how to explain.

"I don't need it." Ye Xinyu stood up, "I am an adult and have the ability to discern things for myself. The company is developing very well right now, and the more that is the case, the more I must work hard so I am not eliminated."

"As a woman who is also pregnant, the pressure is already very high. Competitors have already suggested I take maternity leave, but I obtained all of this with such difficulty. If I let go now, my previous efforts will have been in vain."

"I know, but you really don't need to push yourself so hard right now. I will support you." Chen Yu smiled.

"You will support me? In your eyes, am I just a vase?" Ye Xinyu suddenly became angry.

"Why are you angry?" Chen Yu looked at Ye Xinyu blankly, not knowing what he had done wrong.

"Before, you were not doing your job properly, and because of you, I did not get a promotion for three years. Yes, you have changed a lot now, but I just want to rely on my own efforts to do things. I don't want to be like ordinary women who just raise children and do housework, achieving nothing."

"Chen Yu, do you know? I... the gap between you and me is getting wider and wider now. You have all kinds of women around you every day; what can I do? I can only work hard." Ye Xinyu's emotions were somewhat agitated.

"I have never done anything to let you down." Chen Yu's expression changed; he felt Ye Xinyu was being too extreme.

"Yes, not yet, but what about later? We still have decades of life ahead of us. I know you are unhappy that my parents came to live with us, but for the past few years, for your sake, I almost cut off all contact with the people who gave birth to me and raised me."

"Now that our relationship has eased, can't you... for my sake, just endure it?" Ye Xinyu shed tears.

"I didn't say anything." Chen Yu was even more puzzled; he felt Ye Xinyu's nerves were very sensitive right now.

"But you have it in your heart. I don't want to say anything more, Chen Yu." Ye Xinyu grabbed her bag and turned to leave.

Staring blankly at her back, Chen Yu opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.

"Did you have a fight?" Yan Roujin walked in. Seeing Chen Yu's expression, she was slightly stunned.

"I just feel... it's inexplicable." Chen Yu was speechless.

"Try to understand; a pregnant woman's mood is naturally prone to irritability and anger." Yan Roujin smiled and said, "As a man, you should also know what to do."

"But I feel her nerves are very sensitive." Chen Yu shook his head, "I don't understand women."

"Giggle, women are inherently difficult animals to understand. Alright, go back and have a good talk with her." Yan Roujin smiled slightly.

Chen Yu had no mood to eat dinner either. Since being reborn here, his mood had almost never been this messy.

At dawn, in the middle of the courtyard of Liu Chengye's villa.

On a table with a Compass, six Paper Talismans were hung above it. Chen Yu was going to perform a ritual.

In truth, this was not what Chen Yu was skilled at, but the inherited memories contained knowledge regarding this field, so he was trying his best.

Chen Yu borrowed half a cup of blood from Liu Chengye's palm, then blended it into water. Next, he paced around the table in a circle, then two Talisman Papers ignited and were tossed into the bowl.
