Chapter 528: A token of love!

Outside Summer Palace.

The car had already been driven quite far away.

In the car, Zhang Ye was driving while Wu Zeqing was seated beside him making a call.

Xin Ya's voice from the phone could be heard in the quietness of the car. ”Sis Wu, you're really bad to me. We've been friends for over 30 years now and you've hidden away such a preeminent mathematician boyfriend on the side away from me? You didn't even give a little hint and hid him so well. What's the meaning of that?  Are you afraid that someone would steal him away from you? Is that even necessary!?”

Wu Zeqing laughed and said, ”Didn't I tell you already that I did not know about Little Zhang's math knowledge? If I knew about it, I would have already told you so that you two could have a good chat.”

Xin Ya said, ”I don't believe you.”

Wu Zeqing said, ”There's nothing I can do about it if you don't believe me, hur hur.”

”Where are you now? Why is it so quiet?” Xin Ya asked.

”I'm in the car with Little Zhang. We're going back since it's so crowded over there,” Wu Zeqing answered.

The voice from the other side didn't sound too friendly, saying, ”Is Zhang Ye beside you? There were too many people and media reporters around just now, so I did not say anything. Someday, I will settle the score with him! How dare he scold our mathematics world in front of so many people! He even dragged me in to argue with him. Old Wu, you saw what happened, right? Tell me, how should we settle it then? Your little boyfriend there totally showed me no respect back there.”

Zhang Ye looked over.

Wu Zeqing gestured to him to keep his eyes on the road and then spoke gently into the phone, ”He wasn't wrong to say what he said. All of you were really too harsh on the children.”

Xin Ya nearly died from anger. ”So you prefer to protect your little boyfriend, right?”

”I'm just stating things as they are.” Wu Zeqing laughed.

Xin Ya said, ”Alright, dates before mates, I get it. I'm not gonna talk any further for now. There's too much work to handle here. I'll deal with you again soon.”

”Alright then, bye.” Wu Zeqing hung up and then looked over at Zhang Ye and said softly, ”Xin Ya says she will settle things with you soon.”

Zhang Ye laughed. ”Yes, I heard that.”

Wu Zeqing casually asked, ”How did you come to learn such advanced math?”

”Sigh, I just learned it like that. Was it alright, Old Wu? Did I look really cool when I solved the problem? Extra handsome?” Zhang Ye boasted.

Wu Zeqing replied warmly, ”Hur hur, kind of.”

Hearing a positive comment from his beloved, Zhang Ye felt very satisfied. ”Great, that's good enough. Old Wu, where should we head to now? We were supposed to come out and have a good time before you headed to the south for your job posting, but we ended up not doing that and got caught up in the events at Summer Palace instead. We didn't even get a proper meal together.”

”Where do you wish to go to?” Wu Zeqing asked him.

”I don't know either. I will follow along with your decision,” Zhang Ye said.

She thought about it for a moment before suggesting, ”Big Sis knows a rather good hot spring resort. I was there for a work holiday once and I find it to be a nice place.”

Zhang Ye nodded. ”Lead on.”

She said, ”It's not far from here.”

Afternoon.

The suburbs. At a certain hot spring resort.

Despite it being Valentine's Day, there weren't many guests at the resort. It may have been because the resort was targeted at higher spending consumers. This could be seen just from the cars parked outside. Few of them cost less than 500,000 RMB.

Zhang Ye stayed in the car while Wu Zeqing went inside to check-in. He had initially planned to show off a little, but thinking about how he was really poor right now and this place looked really expensive, he wasn't even sure if his debit card would be able to pay for it. So rather than disgrace himself, he decided to just stay behind.

Di di. He received a text.

Wu Zeqing: ”Come into the inner building. Floor 5, room 566.

There were three or four buildings in here and a small garden with a rather large area for the hot springs. There was even a ski resort being built but it probably wouldn't be operating anytime soon. As Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing's status were a little special, they did not choose to use the common hot springs. They could only wear sungla.s.ses and face masks to hide their ident.i.ty, but had anyone ever dressed up that way at a hot spring?  That would be such a curious sight, so Zhang Ye definitely chose to avoid it. Luckily, according to Old Wu, this resort also had private suites furnished with a hot spring spa on the room's balcony. In that way, they would be able to enjoy their privacy.

At the inner building.

He took the elevator to the fifth floor.

He looked for the suite along the corridor, and when he found it, the door was slightly ajar. Zhang Ye went inside and the first thing he saw was a large living room area. There was even a family theater, complete with a computer and an open kitchen that was part.i.tioned from the living room by a transparent gla.s.s pane. On the other side of the kitchen were two doors to the bedrooms. It was a very large suite.

Wu Zeqing was just hanging up her coat. It was comfortably warm in the room and the temperature felt just right for her in her long qipao. Then she turned around and asked, ”There are two rooms here. Which do you prefer?”

Zhang Ye offered to let her choose first.

She casually pointed to one of them and said, ”Big Sis will take this room then. You must be hungry, right?”

”Yes, I'm starving already.” Zhang Ye rubbed his belly. ”After standing for almost an entire day, I'm feeling really hungry and tired now.” His arms were aching badly after having written with his hands raised high for more than five hours straight.

She smiled and said, ”Let's order some food and get them to send it up. Big Sis didn't have much to eat in the afternoon too.”

”Sure, you decide what to eat. I need to go into the room for a short rest.” Zhang Ye put down his bag and went into the other room. When he saw the room, his eyes brightened.

A connected balcony was accessible via the bedroom and it was equipped with a hot tub. But rather than calling it a balcony, it seemed more like a garden. Its area was even larger than the room itself and it had clear gla.s.s separating it from the outside, making it feel really s.p.a.cious. The gla.s.s looked like it was one of those one-way mirrors which let people inside see out, but those outside could not see in, so there was no worry of being watched. In the middle was a large bathtub that could probably hold five or six people easily. Several kinds of flowers were scattered around the bathtub, some yellow, some green, and the whole setup looked full of life.

It was very beautiful!
