Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Something Happens_1

"What has Wang Ye been busy with lately? Isn’t he back from his overseas trip?"

Ruan Xiaozhu asked curiously.

Inside the serene restaurant, Ruan Xiaozhu and Nalan Yaqi sat by a table near the floor-to-ceiling window, chatting and sipping tea while waiting for Wang Ye to arrive.

Some time ago, Wang Ye was part of a delegation on an overseas trip, something they both knew about.

Of course, they knew a lot about him and he never really kept anything from them, openly discussing most of his affairs.

Considering their relationship, Wang Ye wasn’t worried they would use this information against him.

"Who knows what he’s been busy with all day, always leaving early and returning late. I haven’t seen him for several days. I managed to catch him yesterday, and made him promise to treat us to a meal today," Nalan Yaqi huffed.

Of all the women associated with Wang Ye, Nalan Yaqi happened to be the most carefree.

She wasn’t managing any company nor was she holding any public office. She was just a freshman...

Spin it as you may, her attending college now was only a means to keep herself busy. When bored, she would go to the university and attend classes.

Nalan Yaqi didn’t care about things like education and qualifications anymore!

Who are we kidding? Holding on to Wang Ye, this "thick thigh," there was no need for her to struggle with school and exams.

Ignoring just a bachelor’s degree, even after graduating with a doctorate, how much could she earn in a month?

It probably isn’t even as much as what she would spend shopping in a day...

...

Seeing Nalan Yaqi grumbling, Ruan Xiaozhu laughed, "You, always playing the victim. If Wang Ye were just an ordinary student who went to classes daily and had nothing else to do, would you like him? Oh well, that’s possible too, considering he’s rather handsome..."

Nalan Yaqi laughed too, as memories of when she first met Wang Ye flooded back, her eyes glazing over.

"When he first arrived last year, he was such a country bumpkin, a total straight-arrow guy! In our preparatory course building, many guys wanted to talk to me, but not him. He would duck and run whenever he saw me, not wanting to speak a word more..."

Ruan Xiaozhu couldn’t agree more with this

Indeed, when Wang Ye had just arrived in Moscow, the first time he met Ruan Xiaozhu at the Xiao Ying Hotel, he was wearing an unattractive, ill-fitting down jacket.

His attire left quite an impression on Ruan Xiaozhu, who advised him to buy new clothes and show some attention to personal appearance.

During the weekend, she even accompanied him to the underground mall in Red Square to buy a new down jacket...

"Ah, who could’ve imagined? In just one year, Wang Ye has transformed completely. Where is the innocent boy we knew last year?" Ruan Xiaozhu sighed.

"This guy is indeed clever. No sooner had he arrived here, he started dealing in phone cards. Unlike others who just dabble in small-time deals, he went straight into wholesale. And he pulled it off, later even venturing into the study abroad agency..."

While discussing Wang Ye, they realized they had endless stories to share, able to talk non-stop for days...

...

Just when the two of them were engrossed in conversation, they suddenly heard someone speak.

"So what are you talking about? I’ve been standing at the side of the table, and none of you noticed."

Wang Ye was here!

Both women hastily got up, laughing, and welcomed Wang Ye to sit down.

Now that everyone was here, they started ordering the meal.

This restaurant was a French restaurant located on the street adjoining Red Square. It’s housed in a traditional European-style building, flamboyantly decorated to cater to high-end customers.

However, this kind of restaurant only had a main dining hall and no private rooms. The dining environment was quite pleasant and peaceful.

Being midday, there weren’t many customers, just a few scattered tables of guests at a considerable distance so as not to disturb one another.

Wang Ye and his companions were seated near the window inside, with a view of Red Square not far away.

The four bodyguards he had brought along, including Xie Liaosha, had taken a seat near the restaurant entrance, neither too close nor too far from Wang Ye’s table.

In this arrangement, they could monitor the movements inside the restaurant discreetly, ready to act in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Wang Ye always treated his bodyguards well, offering them all-expenses-paid trips.

Moreover, they were entitled to the same boarding and lodging as himself.

He would never be so stingy as to have a lavish meal himself while making the bodyguards starve and drink cold water...

...

"This restaurant is a Michelin three-star restaurant. It’s quite famous!" Nalan Yaqi remarked cheerfully.

Wang Ye rolled his eyes; he wasn’t really fond of French cuisine.

The so-called baked snails and foie gras simply didn’t appeal to him...

Even though the presentation was exquisite, it did fall short compared to Chinese cuisine.

But, women seemed to love this kind of Western food, reckoning it added a touch of romance...

The three hadn’t dined together for a while, mainly because Wang Ye was too busy.

Although Nalan Yaqi couldn’t see Wang Ye during the day, she spent her nights with him...

Ruan Xiaozhu, however, hadn’t seen Wang Ye in a while, as she wasn’t living with him. She still resided in the dorms at Moscow University.

Indeed, Wang Ye also had a room in the same dormitory, but he hadn’t stayed there for a long time. It’s likely his roommates didn’t even recognize him anymore...

Having finally gathered together again, the trio caught up enthusiastically.

Having to deal with those old foxes every day, being mindful of every word and action was mentally exhausting for Wang Ye!

Right now, dining with Ruan Xiaozhu and Nalan Yaqi, Wang Ye could finally unwind without any fears.

Whatever Wang Ye was saying, it made Nalan Yaqi burst into laughter...

Perhaps due to being too cheerful, she laughed a bit loudly. In such a fancy restaurant, speaking or laughing loudly wasn’t appropriate, as it might disturb other customers.

Nalan Yaqi seemed to realize this as well and quickly covered her mouth mid-laughter, although her eyes still twinkled with amusement.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal, but coincidentally, a Caucasian couple had just taken a seat next to them.

Having afforded to dine here, and considering their neat appearance, they seemed to be wealthy.

While the couple were chatting softly, they turned to look at Nalan Yaqi as she laughed.

It was apparent from a glance that the trio were Asians, quite different from the white-skinned blondes from Russia or Europe and America.

While the woman didn’t say anything, the man seemed quite displeased and muttered something under his breath.

Nalan Yaqi and Ruan Xiaozhu didn’t hear what the man said, but Wang Ye did, and his face turned frosty...
