A Long-Awaited Marriage - Chapter 28

These small hexagonal pastries are not only adorable in appearance, but also taste absolutely amazing. Their melt-in-your-mouth texture and sweet flavor are the most blissful gifts that food can give to the taste buds.

Jiang also enjoyed watching Lu Anran eat the hexagonal pastry in small bites, looking completely satisfied.

Lu Anran’s school has a large natural lawn, which, after being trimmed and decorated by the school workers, has become a popular spot for couples to take photos.

After eating the hexagonal pastry, the two of them would lie on the lawn, dreaming about their bright future.

Lu Anran once said that one day in the future, she would open a bakery and study the method of making hexagonal pastries.

Jiang would always play along and say, “Then I’m in for a treat.”

Couples in the throes of new love often imagine the unknown to be so simple and beautiful. Who could possibly foresee the separations and unpleasantness that lie ahead…?

Years have passed since we parted.

Jiang also snapped out of her thoughts, losing all interest in eating the hexagonal pastry. Her expression turned cold.

He stuffed the hexagonal pastry back into Zhou Yichen’s arms, saying, “If you like it, you can have it all.”

“You’re really acting strange today.” Zhou Yichen sat down next to him, looked at the hexagonal pastry in his arms, and then at Jiang Ye.

Then he fell silent.

In fact, Zhou Yichen knew exactly what Jiang Ye was thinking.

Jiang was reminded of Lu Anran by the sight of the object. He also knew that the hexagonal pastry was Lu Anran’s favorite.

He had seen Lu Anran share her posts on social media: “A small hexagonal pastry, a huge taste of heaven.” The accompanying picture was a beautiful, satisfied smiling face.

However, he couldn’t openly present her with the hexagonal pastry she desired, just like Jiang Ye had done. He couldn’t openly tell her that he liked her.

Perhaps, I will never have this opportunity in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yichen also became sad, and his face was covered with a layer of frost.

Two grown men, each with their own worries and anxieties, are both troubled by the same girl.

An employee passing by Jiang Ye’s office saw the two “statues” staring blankly and whispered among themselves.

“Is the company facing some difficulties? Why do you both look like that?”

“I haven’t heard of that. What problems could our company possibly have?”

There were also female employees swooning, exclaiming, “Wow, those two are so handsome! They’re seriously affecting my work efficiency! I can’t take it anymore, I can’t look at them anymore!”

After a while, Jiang also came back to her senses from her endless longing and said to Zhou Yichen seriously, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Wang Yahui isn’t coming.”

Zhou Yichen frowned in confusion. “Not coming? What do you mean?”

“It’s exactly what you mean.” Jiang shrugged helplessly.

“Why? You said in the meeting yesterday that it looked promising! If he could cooperate with our company, it would definitely be a win-win situation. I just don’t understand.”

“This last-minute change of plans is so unreliable!” Zhou Yichen slammed his hand on the table in anger.

“Who knows!” Jiang narrowed his eyes. “However, I suspect Dongfang Hong is behind this. It took us a lot of effort to resign from Dongfang Hong back then, do you remember?”

Zhou Yichen frowned, seriously considering the possibility in Jiang Ye’s words. “What you said is not impossible. Given Wang Yahui’s status in the industry, there must be many companies that want to poach his production team.”

“Back when we were still at Dongfanghong, we had contact with Wang Yahui, and his production team quite liked you. Dongfanghong’s move like this is really underhanded!”

Jiang nodded, “You’re right. Our company is still in its infancy, far behind Dongfanghong. It’s not surprising that Wang Yahui would reject us.”

Zhou Yichen patted Jiang Ye on the shoulder, “If you don’t want to come, you don’t have to. Our production team is also quite good. In another two or three years, we will definitely become a leader in the industry.”

Jiang finally smiled. “Extraordinary Technology” was his greatest source of inspiration. The hardships of starting the business were still vivid in his mind.

“By the way, when will the God of War be released for public beta?”

“We originally planned to launch the public beta after Wang Yahui’s evaluation. Let’s wait a bit longer. Let’s polish it more and see if there are any other bugs. When we do release something, we want it to be a masterpiece.”

“Yes!” Zhou Yichen nodded solemnly, and the two smiled and bumped fists in tacit understanding.

“By the way, we’re going back to your house tomorrow. Have you figured out how to deal with your dad?”

“He only said a few words. I’ll just ignore him and leave once he’s done.”

After hearing this, Zhou Yichen shook his head with a stern face and punched Jiang Ye in the chest. “You’re so rebellious! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
