From Sidekick to Bigshot

Zhai Yunsheng’s chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

However, Jian Yiling continued to say: “According to human anatomy, in…”

“Eat!” Zhai Yunsheng interrupted Jian Yiling’s words and ordered her to eat.

“Okay,” Jian Yiling replied obediently before she bowed her head to eat dinner.

After finishing his meal, Zhai Yunsheng took out his car keys and went out.

In the past, he always spent his time after dinner in the study room with Jian Yiling.

However, for some reason, he went out today by himself.

It was as though he didn’t want to stay in the room for another moment.

Zhai Yunsheng went out for a drive.

When he reached the river bank, he received a call from Yao Moping.

However, Zhai Yunsheng did not answer the call.

Despite this, Yao Moping kept calling him.

The fourth time she called, Zhai Yunsheng finally answered.

“Master Sheng, I just saw your car. Where are you going at this time?”

“Is this related to you?” Zhai Yunsheng asked in an impatient and annoyed tone.

“Master Sheng, if you’re upset about something, you can tell me. We’ve been friends for so many years.”

“If you’re my friend, I’m willing to speak to you. However, if you want something else, then forget about it,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He did not care about Yao Moping’s feelings as he said these words.

“What could I possibly want from you?” Yao Moping replied. “You’re already engaged. Furthermore, I’ve seen the way you treat Jian Yiling. Even if I don’t like you romantically anymore, we’ve still been friends for so many years. We’ve known each other for so many years. We’ve hung out together with Han Mengyu and Xing Wei. Isn’t it just normal to care about you?”

Whilst calling Zhai Yunsheng, Yao Moping drove to the river bank as well. She then parked her sports car next to Zhai Yunsheng’s car.

Yao Moping got out of the car and walked over to Zhai Yunsheng’s car. Then, she knocked on his window.

Zhai Yunsheng rolled his window down.

“Are you in a bad mood?” Yao Moping asked. She could sense that Zhai Yunsheng had something on his mind.

Was Zhai Yunsheng in a bad mood?

Perhaps he was.

Jian Yiling’s actions today made him think of something.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to do some things. Instead, he couldn’t do those things.

He already tied her by his side using the engagement. However, he wasn’t about to be that selfish.

He couldn’t have a child.

There was a fifty percent chance that his child would inherit his condition.

He couldn’t gamble on this.

Therefore, he couldn’t touch her.

Whether it was now or in the future.

He couldn’t let her be pregnant with his child.

“Master Sheng, do you want to talk to me about it? Perhaps I can make some suggestions.”

Yao Moping wanted to let Zhai Yunsheng know that she was the one who understood him. She was the one who could accompany him.

There were a lot of things that Jian Yiling couldn’t do. However, she could do those things.

Sometimes, he couldn’t say certain things to Jian Yiling. She, on the other hand, could help him get rid of his worries.

“You can’t,” Zhai Yunsheng decisively rejected Yao Moping’s words.

“Why? You haven’t even told me what’s bothering you.”

They came from similar families. Furthermore, they had similar interests and hobbies.

Therefore, Yao Moping was confident that she could help Zhai Yunsheng. It didn’t matter whether it was a business or personal matter.

“Because, there are some things that you, as a friend, should not ask about.”

Yao Moping’s face stiffened before she said: “Ahh, okay. I won’t ask about it then.”

Then, Yao Moping handed Zhai Yunsheng a drink: “I’ll stay with you for a while though.”

Zhai Yunsheng couldn’t drink alcohol. Therefore, she handed him another type of beverage.

However, Zhai Yunsheng did not reach out for the beverage.

“Master Sheng, do you think that there’s something wrong with this drink?”

“I don’t know whether there’s something wrong with it or not. However, I don’t want to drink something that’s handed to me.”
