For his so-called compensation, Bingkele initially refused outright, but she couldn't stand Ye Qing's relentless pestering, and finally agreed to remind him to eat regardless of whether she was around, and to have at least one meal with him every day.

After enjoying the benefits, she returned to the hotel feeling refreshed and content. She then continued to review the materials.

The next morning, Ye Qing went to pick up Bing Kele for work. He arrived earlier than usual and had breakfast at Bing's house. This was also a chance for him to improve his image in front of Bing Kele's parents.

After doing all that, Ye Qing went downstairs with a good mood. As for Bing Kele's feelings, they were a bit complex. She hadn't gotten used to the state where Ye Qing was her boss at work and her boyfriend after work.

Ye Qing also noticed her emotional state was off. After getting in the car, she said, "Don't overthink it. It's still the same as before, how you worked before is how you work now. During work hours, I will absolutely not bring up any personal matters."

Coke nodded.

After arriving at the company, Ye Qing quickly entered work mode. Bing Kele didn't have his calmness, but after a morning, she basically adjusted as well.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's been ten days since they arrived in Yun City. Their work here has entered a critical period. Ye Qing is extremely busy, often working overtime even during her rest time. Bing Ke Le, as an assistant, also has a lot of work to handle. Due to the distance from her home to the company, and to save time, Bing Ke Le moved into a hotel under the "expulsion" of her parents.

For their actions, Bing couldn't believe it. Such open-minded people? Really their parents? She felt a bit unreal about it.

She didn't know if it was because she truly didn't understand her parents or if they had brainwashed her while she wasn't around at night.

In fact, she was overthinking this time. Night Qing didn't do any ideological work for them at all; they just truly understood each other. These two had worked together in Longcheng before. If there was anything to be found, they would definitely find the opportunity. Besides, their daughter was over twenty years old, and the other person was her legitimate boyfriend who was willing to get married. It's good for them to spend more time together.

After five days of continuous hard work, all preparations were in place. Xuan Mei Group officially began its acquisition of Zhong Shi Group. That night, Qing appeared at the Zhong Shi's office building for negotiations. Many people couldn't help but wonder: how could the representative of Xuan Mei Group resemble their boss so much? Was this a coincidence or something else?

Many of those present were veterans of the company, and they knew something about their former boss's temperament. He was very fond of beautiful women in the past, and he would go to great lengths to get what he wanted if he liked someone. With so many outside women, it wouldn't be impossible for him to leave behind some seeds.

If that were really the case, this acquisition might not be so straightforward.

After a while, many people present had already imagined a thrilling story of love and feud in a wealthy family.

Ye Qing guessed their thoughts to some extent and said very directly: "It's work time now, and we shouldn't be talking about other things. However, I can see that everyone's gossip is written all over your faces. If we don't figure it out, I'm afraid none of us will have the heart to do our jobs properly, so I'll just tell you straight."

Wow, this sounds like there's a story here.

While others watched the play with great enthusiasm, Zhong Yue's face was grim.

"Ye Qing let out a cold snort then spoke, "That's right, Zhong Ying is indeed my biological father. He threatened my mother back then, which is how I was born. My mother disliked me because of her health reasons and only reluctantly raised me for a year before sending me to an orphanage. Later, when Mrs. Zhong found out about me, she sent someone to try and kill me in secret. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape, but I was injured in the head and forgot everything. Perhaps it was destined for the Zhong family to face this tribulation, as recently I vaguely remembered some things from my childhood. Out of curiosity, I looked into it and learned about my past, and now I'm sharing it with you all."

It's truly a captivating story, though it remains a tale of revenge. However, it's far more intricate and unexpected than anything they've encountered before.

After hearing all this, Zhong Yue's face could no longer be described as black. Zhong Ying liked to play with women, he knew that, and he thought it was all mutual consent, but there was actually threats and coercion involved! What a good guy. And his mother, back then she even wanted to kill a child who was just a few years old! He really opened his eyes. Both of them are amazing.

I wanted to have a proper conversation, but now that they've laid it all out so plainly, it's clear they're here to settle scores. There's absolutely no room for negotiation, no need to even struggle. After all, compared to Xuan Mei, the Zhong clan is like an ant to an elephant.

At this point, there was nothing more to say. Zhong Yue signed the contract according to Ye Qing's request.

Seeing him so delighted, Ye Qing didn't make things difficult for him. Before leaving, she said: "Zhong Yue, get a good lawyer for your mother. It will probably come in handy soon."

Zhong Yue finally managed a smile: "If it weren't for this complicated situation, with your personality, we might have actually been able to be good friends."

"You're remarkably open-minded. Though I have no intention of targeting you, you are Zhong Ying's son, and your mother wants to kill me. I can't be friendly towards you under these circumstances. Hopefully, things will change in the future." Ye Qing finished speaking and immediately left.

He walked several steps, but Bing Cola remained frozen in place. He had no choice but to turn back and ask, "Bing Cola, what are you thinking about? Let's go."

Ice Cola quickly regained his composure and then quickly ran behind Ye Qing.

"What were you thinking about just now?" Ye Qing asked.

"I… kind of regret urging you to look into your ancestry back then. If we hadn't known, there would have been less hurt. You were pretty drunk after finding out, and it must have been really hard for you at the time." Bingkele said softly.

I was sad then, but it's all in the past now.

"Ye Qing pointed his head and said, 'Well, what you said is right, but the damage has already been done. It's useless for you to regret it now. So, it's better to find a way to compensate.'"

"How can you compensate? The hurt in my heart isn't that easy to make up for," Bingkele questioned, puzzled.

Yè Qīng stopped his steps and leaned in close to her ear, whispering softly: "I am a discarded person. If you are willing to marry me and stay with me for life, I will feel like I have not lost out at all."

This person is really good at running with a topic.

Bing KeLe silently glanced at him without speaking. Ye Qing asked, “How about it? Have you considered it?”

"My parents have been bringing up marriage a lot lately. Could it be that you've been whispering in their ears?" Bingkele asked suddenly.

Ye Qing said with a helpless expression: "Since you've found me, I won't hide anymore. Ke Le, how about we get married when we return to Longcheng in a while?"

Ice-Cola pondered for a moment and nodded seriously.
