Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the other end of the line, Ying Qing fell silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, he spoke up, “Junior sister, I’ll catch a plane to River City immediately. Remember, don’t contact this person. He’s extremely dangerous! Also, stop investigating any cases related to Ye Chen. I’ll send someone over to take charge of them.”
“What about your mission, eldest senior brother?”
“My mission isn’t as important as this guy. I want to see what kind of monster this Ye Chen is!”
River City’s Wanda Plaza.
Ye Chen had already disposed of the bloodied clothes earlier. He went back to the Armani store again dressed in a white shirt.
The store manager recognized Ye Chen from a glance and ran over with a smile on his face. “Mr. Ye, are you here to buy more clothes?”
Ye Chen nodded and randomly picked out two sets of clothes.
…..
“Wrap those up for me.”
“Alright, Mr. Ye. Please wait a moment.”
After completing the purchase, Ye Chen walked out of the Armani store.
He had purchased a suit and a set of casual clothes.
He put on his casual clothes and packed up his suit so that he could deal with Sun Yi’s questions later.
However, Ye Chen still felt that Armani’s casual clothes were a little uncomfortable. In desperation, he went to an Adidas store to purchase some sportswear.
It was much easier to move about once he changed into sportswear.
Ye Chen was just about to leave Wanda Plaza when he spotted a familiar face.
It was Xia Ruoxue.
At this moment, Xia Ruoxue was sitting inside a coffee shop and absent-mindedly stirring her coffee with a spoon.
In front of her sat a well-rounded woman that seemed to have a noble temperament. The woman looked to be in her 30s or 40s, and had maintained herself well. Her skin was fair and without a single wrinkle.
Most importantly, she looked like Xia Ruoxue. If he was not mistaken, she was probably Xia Ruoxue’s mother.
Given her appearance and temperament, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she could pass for Xia Ruoxue’s sister.
“The life of rich people, drinking afternoon tea…”
Ye Chen sighed and walked toward the plaza’s exit. Inside, Xia Ruoxue had just picked up her coffee cup. Just as she was about to drink it, her eyes naturally noticed Ye Chen passing by outside the window.
A look of surprise appeared on her face. She quickly put down the coffee cup and ran outside.
“Mom, wait here for me!”
“Ye Chen, wait up! Why are you walking so fast?”
Xia Ruoxue caught up to Ye Chen very quickly.
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and looked at the cold and elegant Xia Ruoxue in confusion.
“Why? I’m just passing by. You’re not going to treat me to coffee, are you?”
Xia Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes carried a trace of anger. She was a beauty, after all. Did this guy always have to use such a disdainful tone while talking to her?
She looked around and puffed out her chest, “I haven’t settled the matter of you sleeping with… me.”
“Hey, you were the one sleeping with me. That was my bed you slept on.”
Xia Ruoxue did not want to fuss over the details. Her beautiful eyes turned sharp as she said, “I don’t care. You slept with me. I’ll give you a chance to make it up to me. As long as you help me, we’ll let bygones be bygones. How about it…”
“I’m sorry, I’m not interested. It’s already fortunate that I didn’t ask you to compensate me for the trauma I experienced. Goodbye.” Ye Chen started to leave after he finished speaking.
However, would Xia Ruoxue let Ye Chen go? She hugged Ye Chen’s arm tightly with both hands. Even though his arm was touching her proud peaks, she did not care.
Ye Chen was utterly dumbfounded. Was Xia Ruoxue not the president of the Magnificent group? Why was she acting like a rascal in the middle of the street?
Just as he was about to speak up, a cold and displeased voice rang out from behind him.
“Ruoxue, who is this man?”
Xia Ruoxue and Ye Chen were both stunned.
Before Ye Chen could reply, Xia Ruoxue immediately adjusted her position and held onto Ye Chen’s arm even more intimately. She turned around and said, “Mom, why did you come out here…”
Xia Ruoxue’s mother glared at Ye Chen. If her gaze had been an arrow, Ye Chen would have been riddled with holes.
“Who is this man? It’s not proper for you to hold his hand in the street like this! Also, didn’t you promise me not to come into contact with any boys?”
Xia Ruoxue’s mother’s voice gradually turned cold.
The Xia family had already arranged a marriage for Xia Ruoxue, so she should be well aware of the consequences of her actions.
If that man found out that Xia Ruoxue had an ambiguous relationship with another man in River City, the relationship between the two families would not only be broken, but the Xia family might even suffer their crazed revenge!
At that time, the Xia family would be in grave danger!
Ye Chen could feel Xia Ruoxue’s delicate body trembling next to him. Her fingers were tightly gripping his arm.
Fear, helplessness and disappointment.
All these emotions made Xia Ruoxue’s eyes turn red. A tear even rolled down her cheek onto Ye Chen’s hand.
She had used all her time and energy to support the Magnificent group, but she was still a woman; a woman who had been born into a big family and one who was destined to have no choice in her life partner.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother glared at Xia Ruoxue and Ye Chen coldly before ordering, “Ruoxue, let’s go! You’re coming back to the Xia family with me today! Over the past five years, your Magnificent group has not achieved much. The Xia family will take over the Magnificent group under the guise of an acquisition, and the family will arrange for someone to help you manage it.”
Xia Ruoxue’s body trembled. Her five years of hard work had been denied with a single sentence. Her heart was filled with endless bitterness and she almost collapsed.
It seemed that she could not escape the wheel of fate in the end.
She was born to be treated as a commodity of the Xia family!
Her tears kept falling on Ye Chen’s hand.
This was the first time she had cried in five years.
No matter how proud and cold a girl was, she would still cry in situations such as this.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother took a step forward and said with a hint of anger in her voice, “I won’t say it a third time. Ruoxue, let’s go! The men of River City are not worth your affection. When you return to Jiangnan Province, you will see the true heaven’s favored son. You will gradually understand how unbearable and trashy the men of River City are.”
“I don’t care what relationship you have with this man in front of you, but you should understand that you will only harm him by continuing to be with him. Because no one can go against your father, no one.”
Xia Ruoxue slowly released her grip, choosing to compromise.
She had wanted to make use of Ye Chen to get her mother to give her more time.
However, it now seemed that it was completely unnecessary.
Ye Chen was innocent, after all. The only relationship she had with him was that they had slept together in the same bed for a single night.
Nothing had happened between them.
She did not want to harm Ye Chen. The Xia family’s anger was not something Ye Chen could handle.
He only possessed a valuable formula, but this formula was insignificant and powerless in the eyes of the Xia family.
The Xia family could easily buy thousands or tens of thousands of such formulas.
Xia Ruoxue finally released her grip completely. Just as she was about to walk over to her mother, a large hand wrapped itself around her waist.
At the same time, a magnetic voice rang out.
“Aunty, I’m sorry. Ruoxue can’t go with you because she’s already my woman. Furthermore, she’s pregnant with my child. I’m willing to take responsibility for her.”
Xia Ruoxue was completely dumbfounded.
When did she become Ye Chen’s woman?
Also, although they had hugged each other to sleep the entire night, they had not done anything unspeakable.. How could she be pregnant?
