Chapter 377 - The continued rise of Zhang Yes Talk Show! (1/2)

After the meal.

At Wu Zeqing's home.

”Let me wash the dishes!”

”Put it down.”

”No, no. You've already prepared dinner, so you can leave the rest to me.”

”This is my house, I don't need you to do such ch.o.r.es.”

”That's not right, I won't feel good like this.”

”Oh, you.... You've already given me a most precious birthday gift with 'Ode of Mulan'. I intend to keep that with me for the rest of my life, so that I can pa.s.s it on to my children.”

”That's not worth anything. If you want more, I can write more. Please just let me wash the dishes!”

After fighting all day, Wu Zeqing finally stopped talking and just looked subtly into Zhang Ye's eyes. She did not say or do anything.

Zhang Ye said, ”Please let me do it. You are my leader, so how can I let you keep doing such ch.o.r.es. You're making thing difficult for me, these bowls..... Alright, you do it then!” He had been fazed by Wu Zeqing's stare.

”That's right.” Wu Zeqing smiled as she took the bowl from him and started doing the dishes.

He had left all the ch.o.r.es to Wu Zeqing as he could not find anyway to make her let him help out. He stood to the side and paced back and forth. The more he looked at Wu Zeqing, the more he liked her. She was an up and coming civil official, yet did not carry any airs about it and was always mild mannered. This sort of woman couldn't be found anywhere else, even if you looked. Sigh, but even if Zhang Ye wanted to marry her, he didn't think he was qualified enough. He knew that she was out of his league and just based on her status, it seemed like he would never have any hope in this lifetime. He reckoned that Old Wu's standard in looking for a partner was extremely high too, otherwise why would she still be single past 30?

The dishes were done.

It was 8PM now, not too late nor too early.

Wu Zeqing glanced at the time and said, ”Come, let's have some tea?”

Zhang Ye cautiously answered, ”Why don’t I go back instead? It's starting to get late.” He was afraid that it would be inconvenient since she was a woman after all. He certainly needed to hold back a little regarding these kinds of matters.

”It's only 8PM. It’s still early.” Wu Zeqing invited him upstairs.

Zhang Ye didn't say anymore and went back upstairs into Wu Zeqing's bedroom.

This room looked even larger, at least 40 square meters. It was not known if this was the standard for villas, or because Wu Zeqing had renovated it to be like this. The bedroom was also arranged in a very neat fas.h.i.+on. In the corner was a large waterbed, while over to one side was a row of wardrobes. It wasn’t known whether it was a full wardrobe or made up of one of those 3-tiered wardrobes placed together. There was also a big balcony outside, where some unknown things were placed. It was too dark to see. Over on the other side, there was a TV hung on the wall, which was very large. How large was it? It was just very very large. Zhang Ye had no concept of its exact size, so he could not put a number to it.

Luxurious.

Extravagant.

Wow, how did she do it?

Zhang Ye had earned quite a fair amount of money by working extremely hard, but even if the money was not spent on buying a car, he wouldn't be able to afford a villa in Taoran Pavilion. At most, he'd be able to afford the renovations and decorations added on to it.

”Take a seat. It's already winter and the air's much too humid downstairs. It will be more comfortable upstairs since you aren't wearing too much. The bedroom is smaller and there's a heater too.”

”Oh.”

”What type of tea do you want to drink?”

”I'll drink whatever you drink.”

”Then let's drink Tie Guanyin.”

Zhang Ye took off his slippers and sat cross-legged on the thick carpet.

Wu Zeqing also sat down, but instead of a cross-legged posture, it was more closer to kneeling. Her legs was put close to each other, similar to a posture of a mermaid sitting down. She was very particular when it came to drinking tea. Every step in preparing the tea, from the was.h.i.+ng of the tea leaves, pouring of the tea, and the serving of the tea to each of them was according to a procedure. ”Here, try some.”

After taking a sip, Zhang Ye said, ”Good tea!”

Since he didn't know any better, he would just say that it was good and it would be fine.

By now, Zhang Ye had already noticed Wu Zeqing's legs. At home, she wore very ordinary looking track pants, which was gray in color, but even that couldn’t hide her alluring figure. That virtuous demeanor of a housewife, which made him very comfortable around her, could not be suppressed within. The gentle and warm seduction came from within her, even without that traditional getup of a qipao. Her charms of a cla.s.sical beauty were still very apparent. With every smile, that charm would exude a little. Somehow, it was just the type of feeling similar to how chocolate would melt once you put it in your mouth, releasing the taste and aroma of the cocoa bit by bit.... It was just that sort of a feeling.

Her feet were exposed and she was wearing a pair of flesh-colored pantyhose, but he was unsure if it was the long or short type.

Zhang Ye had already taken several looks at the pair of beautiful legs, but still found it irresistible. He took another sip of tea and stole another glance, then felt that Wu Zeqing's eyes had caught him looking. He did not know if she knew that he was looking, so he quickly found a topic to talk about, ”Oh, President Wu. My 'Zhang Ye Talk Show' is back on broadcast today. Can we watch it at our house here?” Beijingers had a more pleasant and courteous way of speaking. They usually referred it as 'our house' rather than 'your house', making it sound friendlier.

Wu Zeqing put down her cup of tea, ”Of course we can. Hur Hur, I've watched a few of your Talk Shows before, but not in great detail. Let's use the TV to watch. I would like to watch it properly too.” Then she stood up and brought over a laptop and switched it on before connecting it to the TV, ”Which website can we watch it on?”
