Chapter 2440: Chapter 2440: Reunion After a Long Separation (7)

The secretary handed the contract to Ye Mingmei, respectfully reminding her.

"I understand."

Ye Mingmei took the cooperation proposal, her fingers slightly tightened, holding the proposal, and left the office.

-

"Miss Ye, this way please." The attendant led Ye Mingmei to the elegant seating.

Upon seeing Bai Zheng seated, Ye Mingmei became entranced again, her gaze firmly locked on the face that haunted her dreams.

She even forgot to sit down, let alone greet him.

"Do I look like someone from Miss Ye’s past?" Bai Zheng stood up from his seat, walked around behind Ye Mingmei, and gentlemanly pulled out her chair, gesturing for her to sit.

"..."

Ye Mingmei sat down in a daze, Bai Zheng’s masculine aura lingered beneath her nose, carrying a faint medicinal scent, completely different from Yu Xiuzhun’s dominating presence.

Ye Mingmei clenched her fist, her nails digging into her palm, keeping her rational.

Don’t identify the person in front of you as Yu Xiuzhun just because of that face.

"Mr. Bai, has anyone ever told you that you resemble someone?" Ye Mingmei took a deep breath, reached out to hold the water glass in front of her, asking casually.

Nervously, she raised the glass and took a sip, a bit afraid of hearing Bai Zheng’s response.

"Why don’t you just directly ask me if I’m Yu Xiuzhun." Bai Zheng spoke leisurely, took a sip of coffee, and slightly raised his hand to signal the attendant to come and take Ye Mingmei’s order.

"Bang—"

As his words fell, Ye Mingmei’s hand shook, water spilled from the cup, splashing onto her face.

"Miss Ye, are you alright?"

Bai Zheng stood up abruptly, took the cup from her hand, pulled out a handkerchief, and gently wiped her face, as gently as if he were wiping fragile porcelain.

Ye Mingmei suddenly grabbed his arm, her eyes filled with shock, "What did you just say, say it again!"

"Miss Ye, you’re not the first to look at me so surprised. Since I arrived in Washington, I’ve been constantly questioned about the same thing. Even I’m curious, do I really resemble Yu Xiuzhun that much?"

Bai Zheng looked at Ye Mingmei, slowly releasing her hand, retrieving his arm, meeting her disappointed eyes with a warm smile.

"But now I’m more curious, what is Miss Ye’s relationship with Yu Xiuzhun? You seem to really wish I was him."

"..."

He’s my daughter’s father, the man I’ve waited three years for...

Ye Mingmei bit her lip, looking at this familiar face, almost losing control to shout aloud.

Ultimately, she simply looked at him, unable to say anything.

"Miss Ye, may I ask what you would like to drink?" The attendant quickly came over to Ye Mingmei’s side, politely inquiring.

Ye Mingmei lowered her gaze, suppressing her emotions, "A cup of coffee, please."

"This is the new cooperation proposal I have already reviewed. The company Ye Group is collaborating with is Gaoda Technology. YX Group acquired Gaoda Technology, but in terms of technology, it does not have the capability Ye Group can trust, so..."

"Miss Ye doesn’t want to cooperate with YX?"

Before Ye Mingmei could finish speaking, Bai Zheng interrupted her.

He calmly picked up the coffee cup but did not drink, his long fingers rubbing the rim of the cup, his mischievous eyes slightly raised in an indescribably charming allure.

Matching with his face, it always gave Ye Mingmei an indescribable sense of familiarity.

While she was momentarily lost in thought, Bai Zheng spoke again, casually.
