The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

105: Chapter 101 Chapter 099: Powerless 105: Chapter 101 Chapter 099: Powerless “Ye Chen!” Da Hei suddenly shouted from behind.

Ye Chen was startled and turned to look at Da Hei, saying, “Hmm?

What’s up, got something to ask me?”

“Right!” Da Hei nodded and said, “Let’s find a place to talk.”

“Okay!” Ye Chen nodded.

He knew Da Hei was a man with stories.

He was originally planning to wait until Da Hei’s emotions were stable before having a proper talk with him, but Da Hei came to him first.

They sat down in a restaurant.

Ordered two cooked dishes, and then called for a case of beer.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Brother Da Hei, you must have something to talk about, right?”

“Yes!” Da Hei was stern and full of austerity in his demeanor and style.

Ye Chen poured Da Hei a glass of wine, smiling, “First, let’s drink.

This damn weather is awfully hot.

Here…”

The two chugged down a bottle of ice-cold beer in one breath.

“Go ahead, what did you want to talk to me about?” Ye Chen exhaled a breath of alcohol.

“I wanted to tell you that my stay by your side is temporary!” Da Hei’s piercing eyes stared at Ye Chen as he said, “The reason I followed the Crown Prince is that he once saved my life.

I am not fond of the underworld, nor do I like following others in violent acts, harming the innocent.”

“But, having been by the Crown Prince’s side for so long, can you assure that everything you’ve done didn’t go against your conscience?” Ye Chen stared coldly at Da Hei.

“Correct!” Da Hei nodded and said, “Having done so many things by his side, I never put my heart into any of it, just like today.

If I had, you might not have been my match.”

“That’s true!” Ye Chen nodded and then smiled, “Since you don’t want to stay by my side, why are you following me?”

“First off, I saw that you are a different person from the Crown Prince!” Da Hei looked at Ye Chen as he spoke, “You are a person willing to sacrifice yourself for your ‘little brothers.’ Additionally, you spent five hundred thousand to redeem me, and I really want to know how you saw through me, and also, what that thing you said meant!”

Ye Chen glanced at Da Hei and smiled, “Your fists betrayed you.

An ordinary person wouldn’t have such thick calluses on his fists.

Moreover, I sensed a strong aura of killing from you.

I think, you must be a boxer, and, you have quite a few lives on your conscience!”

Snap…

Da Hei’s hand tightened around his glass, his gaze intensified, and the glass shattered.

Ye Chen looked at Da Hei in surprise and smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

“You better not think about using this to force me to stay by your side as a lap dog!” Da Hei looked at Ye Chen somberly.

“Heh, I’m not that kind of man.

If you want to leave, you can leave anytime.

I absolutely won’t stop you!” Ye Chen raised his glass, downed the alcohol in one gulp, then tossed two hundred yuan on the table, and got up to leave.

Da Hei watched Ye Chen’s departing figure, his gaze revealing a mix of complexities and perplexities.

…

Returning home at noon to rest, the blazing sun nearly made it impossible for Ye Chen to keep his eyes open.

Just as he reached the gate of his community, he saw that Li Ruo’s black Ferrari was parked inside.

Ye Chen was stunned.

Why had this Little Ni come here?

Could it be… she didn’t need to “transform” during the daytime?

In Ye Chen’s eyes, the daytime Li Ruo was like a rose that could only be admired from a distance, not played with up close.

And the nighttime Li Ruo was like a lily hidden in a deep, secluded valley.

Ye Chen wasn’t sure whether the current Li Ruo was the daytime one or the nighttime one.

Shivering, he was just about to get out of his car to leave when the Ferrari’s door opened like a bird spreading its wings, and Li Ruo stepped out wearing a cool summer outfit, a white tank top revealing her fair, creamy shoulders, and her proud fullness almost burst forth, barely restrained by the thin straps.

Her slender, jade-like legs were adorned with a pair of crystal sandals, appearing exceptionally cool.

A large pair of pink sunglasses covered her sparkling eyes.

“Ye Chen!” Li Ruo called out softly.

“Ah!” Ye Chen was stunned, unsure whether to respond as an employee or as her supposed ex-boyfriend from before his amnesia.

He stood there awkwardly, looking somewhat dazed.

Li Ruo watched his silly appearance and suddenly giggled.

She walked toward him with a purple sun umbrella, one step at a time.

Ye Chen quickly asked, “Mr.

Li, what… what brings you here?”

“Oh, I came here today to discuss some matters regarding villa No.1!” Li Ruo walked towards Ye Chen.

“Then… let’s go upstairs to talk!” Ye Chen hurriedly waved his hand.

The two went upstairs one after another.

Entering Ye Chen’s home, Li Ruo looked at the familiar scene around her.

Remembering the day Ye Chen had seen through her completely, her face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.

She hurried inside and sat down on the sofa.

The air conditioning in the living room was off, so it was a bit hot.

As soon as Ye Chen entered the room, he habitually took off his clothes, baring his upper body, revealing a back and abdomen covered with eye-catching scars that were almost heartbreakingly visible.

Those scars immediately drew Li Ruo’s attention—Ye Chen’s back looked like a map of chaotic hills.

Ye Chen took a chilled beer from the fridge for Li Ruo and smiled, “There’s nothing else here but beer.

Do you want one?”

“Sure!” Li Ruo nodded, her expression somewhat wooden, unable to describe her feelings.

“Mr.

Li, what brings you here?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“I came to discuss the proposal you worked on.

I have finished reviewing it.” Li Ruo nodded, took off her glasses, and looked at Ye Chen earnestly.

“Ye Chen, before we discuss this proposal, I need to let you know about the difficulties Tianya Group is currently facing…”

Ye Chen was taken aback.

He could tell from Li Ruo’s expression that she was serious, and he believed that whatever was to follow would be quite sensitive.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, looked at Li Ruo seriously, and said, “Mr.

Li… I… I think I’d rather not know about these things!”

Ye Chen was just as serious because no one knew when they might have to leave the city or when their enemies might suddenly find them.

Therefore, Ye Chen did not want to get involved in more complications; once he became entangled, it would only cause more trouble later.

Li Ruo was startled and asked, “Why not?”

“There are some things that I’m afraid I can’t help with!” Ye Chen shook his head.

“But how do you know if you never try?” Li Ruo frowned.

“Mr.

Li, you have your difficulties; I have mine.

I’ve already submitted the proposal to you.

Just leave the rest to handle on your own.

Why must you involve me?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

“I… I’m all alone now, I don’t know who else to turn to!” Li Ruo’s eyes suddenly reddened, and tears began to fall.

She looked at Ye Chen and said, “My father is in the hospital again, unconscious, and the hospital has already issued a critical condition notice.

I don’t want my father’s company to be destroyed like this.”

Li Ruo’s tears were Ye Chen’s most lethal weapon.

In no time at all, Ye Chen had surrendered.

“Can you… can you stop crying please?” Ye Chen instantly panicked, he quickly grabbed some tissues and handed them to Li Ruo.

Li Ruo glanced at him and then took the tissues, wiping away her tears, saying, “It’s just me all by myself now, even my father who could have helped is in the hospital.

What am I supposed to do alone?”

“This…” Ye Chen looked at Li Ruo awkwardly.

“Do you really have the heart to let me bear such a heavy burden of Tianya Group alone?” Li Ruo’s large eyes looked pitifully at Ye Chen.

“Besides, you’re still her boyfriend!”

“Uh…” Ye Chen paused, confused.

How did they get from daytime topics to nighttime issues?

Ye Chen widened his eyes, curiously asking, “Are you…

are you the daytime you or the nighttime you?”

“Is there a difference between the daytime me and the nighttime me?” Li Ruo smirked.

“This…” Ye Chen swallowed several times.

Li Ruo had moved closer to him, and Ye Chen’s gaze started to wander, briefly landing on her full chest.

His heart began to race, always tempting him to take another glance at that spot.

Ye Chen quickly nodded and said, “I thought…

I thought you might not remember the nighttime issues during the day.”

“Why would that be!” Li Ruo smiled lightly and said, “That’s because at the company, I need to maintain a cold demeanor.

For such a large company, establishing authority is essential.

Otherwise, without authority, my commands would hardly be followed.”

“Ah, I see!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “Living like that must be really exhausting!”

“Yes!” Li Ruo nodded and said, “Sometimes, I really wish I could just throw everything away and travel alone, settling wherever I end up.

Unfortunately, reality wouldn’t allow it.

Sometimes, I even envy the employees in the company…”

“Maybe, everyone has their own destiny!” Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “Some people envy you, but they don’t see the hardships behind you.

You envy others, because you don’t see their hard work and suffering.”
