Within the community of property owners, Aunt Lin could still be seen incessantly calling out.

"Has everyone seen the news? Our country is powerful, and we can completely handle this snow disaster!"

"Don't be nervous; all problems will be solved."

"Uh, if anyone needs supplies at home, please help each other if you can. After all, this snow disaster will pass soon, and there's no need to hoard supplies."

However, the responses to her were few and far between.

Clearly, after two days with no end in sight to the snow disaster, many people began to worry.

Fang Yuqing sent another message to Zhang Ye.

"Zhang Ye, are you okay?"

Zhang Ye raised an eyebrow. Fang Yuqing probably thought she was being taken care of by Chen Zhenghao.

However, he didn't believe that Fang Yuqing was acting out of kindness.

"I'm fine."

"Oh, that's good."

Fang Yuqing's heart was actually somewhat disappointed.

But soon, she said, "We're out of food at home. I remember you bought a lot of things. Can you give me some?"

"I'll treat you to a meal later, okayღ('・ᴗ・')"

Zhang Ye smirked.

Sure enough, this woman had a purpose in approaching him.

He remembered that when he went to the supermarket last time, Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining also bought some things. Although not as much as he did, it shouldn't be so dire after just two days.

"Oh, you're talking about things from a long time ago. I didn't keep those things at home. In fact, my house doesn't have much."

But Fang Yuqing wouldn't give up.

"Then can you give me a few packs of instant noodles? You manage the warehouse; your home can't have less to eat, right?"

Zhang Ye was very cunning.

"I really don't have any instant noodles left. Look, I usually eat these."

He took a picture of the Australian lobster and steak on the table and sent it to Fang Yuqing.

On the other end, Fang Yuqing, seeing the picture, was furious.

"Damn Zhang Ye, what do you mean! Are you deliberately provoking me?"

On the side, her best friend Lin Caining peeked out from under the covers.

Because it was too cold, the two of them slept on the same bed.

Seeing the delicious food in the picture made Lin Caining's eyes shine with envy.

These little fairies usually didn't cook at all.

They either ordered takeout or had men treat them to meals.

With the city under heavy snow for the past few days, they were stuck eating instant noodles and canned goods they rarely touched.

Seeing Zhang Ye still able to eat Australian lobster and steak made the two women angry and envious.

Angry because Zhang Ye was selfishly eating alone without considering them.

Envious because they were hungry.

Lin Caining immediately said sourly, "Wow, this Zhang Ye is too much! He has such good food at home, and he didn't think of sending some over to us!"

Just like that, the two women continued to criticize Zhang Ye for quite some time.

During this time, Fang Yuqing picked up her phone, thinking that Zhang Ye would send a message to apologize.

But Zhang Ye didn't send a single message, which made Fang Yuqing's face turn pale.

Although it might also be because she was freezing.

She angrily said to Lin Caining, "This Zhang Ye is truly ungrateful! I gave him a chance to invite me to dinner, and he actually asked me to treat him!"

Lin Caining, although tempted, had ulterior motives.

She secretly messaged Zhang Ye.

"Zhang Ye, why are you so stupid! Now that Yuqing is upset, do you know how serious the problem is?"

After receiving the message, Zhang Ye habitually took a look.

Nowadays, checking various chat group messages had become a source of entertainment for him.

After seeing that it was a message from Lin Caining, Zhang Ye chuckled and replied, "One playing the good cop, the other playing the bad cop, right? You two are quite the performers!"

This combination of Green Tea and White Lotus, Zhang Ye had seen through it long ago.

Usually, Lin Caining played the good cop to help Fang Yuqing maintain her image as a pure goddess.

So when it came to asking for gifts or hinting at men to spend money on Fang Yuqing, Lin Caining was the one who spoke.
