The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 100 - 100 96 94 The Amnesiac

100: Chapter 96 Chapter 94: The Amnesiac 100: Chapter 96 Chapter 94: The Amnesiac The lake’s surface reflected the colorful lights from the opposite shore.

Driven by the wind, it even produced fish-scale-like ripples, one after the other, playfully twinkling.

However, the scene was so filled with luxury and excess that it inevitably gave one a greasy feeling.

This night market, though it lacked the extravagant scale and class of city nightlife, and didn’t have the style and romantic atmosphere necessary for urban beauties to splurge, still had a strong rural charm on these sweltering summer days.

It was a beautiful scene etched in people’s hearts…

“This place is pretty!” Ye Chen smiled faintly.

“Of course!” Li Ruo nodded and said, “The style and taste here are really good.

That’s why they have so many returning customers!”

Ye Chen followed Li Ruo to the restaurant on the island.

The restaurant was truly unique, surrounded by white European-style garden fences, with the trees and flowers inside trimmed to specific standards, lending it a special novelty.

The paths were paved with gray tiles, not slippery at all.

The two held hands and walked in, then chose a spot near the lake.

The seating here was spread out, preserving a degree of privacy between diners, so conversations generally didn’t disturb other customers.

Such an arrangement was considered quite reasonable.

Li Ruo ordered a fruit salad and a drink.

Ye Chen, without any hesitation, ordered a French steak and even added foie gras sauce and a glass of red wine.

Just the items ordered by Ye Chen were valued at over five hundred, but Li Ruo didn’t mind at all.

When the meal arrived, Li Ruo slowly ate her fruit salad with a fork, while Ye Chen wolfed down his steak.

The foie gras sauce was tasty, and as he ate, Ye Chen praised, saying, “The environment here is nice, and the food is really not bad; the steak is cooked medium-rare, and although the foie gras sauce isn’t authentic, it’s much better than some inferior products!”

“How strange, how do you know all this?

Being able to discern that the foie gras sauce here isn’t authentic means at least you’re an expert!” Li Ruo said with a smile playing on her lips.

“I’ve done a bit of study on this stuff, so I know a little!” Ye Chen replied with a light smile.

Actually, these thoughts just popped into his mind.

As the two dined and chatted, Li Ruo found herself increasingly interested in Ye Chen, especially after today.

It seemed like his shadow had been deeply imprinted in her heart, occupying half of it.

She didn’t know why, but today, in front of Ye Chen, she showed such a vulnerable side.

In fact, Li Ruo didn’t realize that she had unknowingly fallen for Ye Chen, but she was afraid to face it; whenever she thought about it, she couldn’t help but avoid the thought, afraid to delve deeper.

“Ye Chen!” Li Ruo suddenly looked at Ye Chen seriously.

“Hmm?” Ye Chen dabbed his lips with a napkin, smiling back at Li Ruo, and said, “What’s up?

After a romantic dinner, are you going to give me a romantic confession?”

“Shut up!” Li Ruo’s face flushed as she glared at Ye Chen and said, “I want to ask you a question, okay?”

“Go ahead!” Ye Chen nodded.

“You…

what kind of person are you?” Li Ruo asked curiously.

“This…” Ye Chen was taken aback.

When it came to describing what kind of person he was, Ye Chen himself didn’t really know, because ever since he could remember, he had been someone with no memory of his past.

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you because I know nothing about my past!”

“Oh, you’ve lost your memory!” Li Ruo’s curiosity intensified as she leaned closer to Ye Chen, her eyes shining.

She looked at him and said, “They say it’s very painful to lose memory.

I’m really curious, what kind of person were you before?

Did you have a wife or kids?

A girlfriend?”

“I don’t know!” Ye Chen shook his head, his eyes filled with a regretful light.

That’s the plight of someone with amnesia.

“Ye Chen!” Li Ruo softly called out to Ye Chen, her cheeks tinged with a blush.

Ye Chen was startled and laughed, “What is it?”

“I…

I was thinking…” Li Ruo’s face grew even redder, she took Ye Chen’s hand, then whispered, “I thought…

let’s have a love affair before memory, okay?”

“Eh?!” Ye Chen was stunned and looked at Li Ruo incredulously, saying, “What do you mean by a ‘love affair before memory?'”

“It means that once you recover your memory, we’ll break up!” Li Ruo said as she blinked her eyes and smiled at Ye Chen.

“Why would we do that?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“Because I don’t know anything about your past, maybe the old you already had a wife and kids, or perhaps a girlfriend.

Once you get your memory back, you might just revert to being the old you.

From then on, we would have no more ties,” Li Ruo smiled and looked at Ye Chen, saying, “What’s more, maybe after you get your memory back, you won’t be you anymore.

And me, I just like the you that you are now!”

Ye Chen felt like his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

He could hardly believe Li Ruo would choose to date him.

This was definitely a risky game, and whoever fell into it was bound to get hurt in the future.

“Li Ruo, are you…

are you the daytime you or the nighttime you right now?” Ye Chen asked, stunned.

“Hehe, it’s 8:30 in the evening now.

What do you think?” Li Ruo pinched Ye Chen’s nose, then called over a waiter to pay the bill and pulled on Ye Chen’s arm, saying, “Come on, let’s go to the bar and hit the dance floor!”

After that, she immediately pulled Ye Chen and ran towards the city center.

Li Ruo had almost not waited for Ye Chen’s agreement before she had decided on their romantic relationship.

This girl was only twenty-three years old, not exactly old but not young either.

Her temperament was still unstable, and her personality not yet fixed.

The car headed straight to the downtown bars.

Li Ruo chose a place named Rolling Stone Bar.

Before they even entered, the noise from inside was already pouring out, making one’s eardrums throb.

At the entrance, some scruffy guys squatted, several of them holding a piece of tin foil sprinkled with some white powder.

One of them was holding a lighter underneath, toasting the tin foil, while a group gathered over it like a bunch of starving rats foraging in the darkness.

“Drugs…

drug use!” Li Ruo suddenly froze.

“A bunch of addicts!” Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and said, “The number of drug users in Jiangbei City is increasing.

If this issue isn’t addressed properly, it’s bound to lead to trouble!”

Li Ruo was frightened and almost clung to Ye Chen as they entered the bar, where a wave of noisy voices hit them.

As soon as they walked in, a blast of hot air engulfed them, and the sound of the rock band on stage made the whole bar vibrate along.

On the stage, the rock band played, and on the dance floor below, men and women with closed eyes shook their heads in tune.

“Eight out of ten people are on drugs!” Ye Chen pointed to the people in the dance floor.

Li Ruo took Ye Chen’s hand and then ordered two drinks at the bar.

The bartender looked at Ye Chen with a grin, gave him a knowing look, and asked, “Hey, buddy, wanna skate?”

“No thanks!” Ye Chen glanced at the bartender and then asked, “Where do you get your supply from, aren’t you afraid of being caught by the police?”

“Hehe, don’t worry, we’ve got guaranteed sources!” The bartender grinned and said, “In the whole Jiangbei City, who can be more formidable than Yan Bu’er?

Besides, we have insiders in the police force.

Once the police take action, we’ll have ways to deal with it, so have fun without worries!”

Ye Chen held a glass and sat down on the sofa in the bar with Li Ruo’s hand in his.

In a bar, it’s always a great place to hunt for love.

Droves of striking women drank or waited for men to hit on them and buy them drinks.

The men sat in corners, lusting after the various women in the bar.

They would try their luck with anyone they thought they could get their hands on.

If they succeeded, the next step would be to go to a hotel room.

The arrival of Li Ruo made the men in the bar as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline, while the women waiting to be hit on stared at Li Ruo with resentment, as if Li Ruo had stolen their husbands.

“Li Ruo, someone’s going to come up and hit on you soon!” Ye Chen watched the bar, and his keen senses had taken in everything as soon as he entered.

In the direction of one o’clock, a man’s gaze had never left Li Ruo’s body.

At eleven o’clock, another man seemed to have just finished talking with friends, and it looked like they were making bets, and Ye Chen boldly guessed their stakes definitely had something to do with Li Ruo.

The man at one o’clock stood up.

He was about 1.75 meters tall, not very tall, but relatively strong, and his face was quite pale, with the potential to be a pretty boy.

The man walked step by step in their direction.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, watching the man’s approach.

The man came up to Li Ruo and flashed what he thought was a charming smile, saying, “Lady, may I have the pleasure of asking you for a dance?”

Li Ruo was taken aback and curiously looked at Ye Chen.

How had he guessed so accurately?

She hooked up a smile and said, “Sure, but only if my boyfriend agrees!”

The man was momentarily stunned, then fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, saying, “Buddy, you can’t be that stingy, can you?”

“I’m not usually a stingy person!” The first thing Ye Chen said made Li Ruo freeze and the man who had come forward seemed thrilled.

Could it be that he was going to be so fortunate today?

Could such a fine woman be within his grasp?

However, Ye Chen continued, “But a man has two things he can’t lend out, the first is his girlfriend, and the second is his money.”

“You!” The man glared at Ye Chen and sneered, “What if I insist on dancing with this lady tonight?”

“Then you’ll have to ask if my fist agrees,” said Ye Chen, gripping the crystal ashtray on the coffee table.

He glared at the man, hand tight, and the crystal ashtray turned to ash.

The man’s eyes widened and he slinked away immediately.

Li Ruo leaned in close to Ye Chen and planted a kiss on his cheek, saying, “Not bad, this is your reward from me!”

“Haha…” Ye Chen grinned and started to laugh.
