The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 343 - 343 332 329 Pass Permit

343: Chapter 332 Chapter 329: Pass Permit 343: Chapter 332 Chapter 329: Pass Permit Tang Yan trembled all over and thought to herself, “This guy, holding someone’s hand without their permission.” However, Tang Yan’s heart was still sweetened.

As she was leaving, she said to the coffee shop’s proprietress, “Aunt Yun, I’ll settle the bill with you tomorrow!”

“Forget it, let’s just say this one is on me!” Aunt Yun grinned, watching Ye Chen take Tang Yan out, feeling delighted inside.

This young lady had grown up before her eyes, and now she was finally getting a boyfriend; she should be settling down soon, right?

Aunt Yun stood at the bar, wiping the glasses with a clean towel, her eyes following the figures of Tang Yan and Ye Chen until they disappeared without a trace.

Ye Chen led Tang Yan towards the mountaintop.

Tang Yan was very excited along the way and said, “Ye Chen, can you really go in?

Even if you can get in, I don’t think I’m allowed, am I?”

Tang Yan couldn’t be sure because she had never been to the Main Castle.

It was the birthplace of the fairy tales in her mind.

Ye Chen didn’t speak along the way, it was just Tang Yan, the chatterbox, who was talking nonstop.

Soon, the two reached the first checkpoint and smoothly passed through after inspection, then entered the second checkpoint.

“Please show your pass!” The gun-toting Soldier said coldly to the two.

Ye Chen pulled out a golden Token and handed it over.

The Soldier glanced at it and without hesitation, let them through.

Stepping through this gate was equivalent to entering the Main Castle.

Tang Yan was unusually excited; she took a determined step over the threshold and then leapt with joy, “Ye Chen, this is great, I’ve finally entered the Main Castle!”

“Do you plan to head back now?” Ye Chen teased.

“Humph, not at all!” Tang Yan snorted lightly and said, “I need to take in enough of this place before I leave.

Otherwise, I won’t go.”

“Alright, you can stay here tonight!” Ye Chen said with a smirk.

“Ah, I don’t think I’m qualified to stay here!” Tang Yan sighed and said, “Those who can stay in the Main Castle, aren’t they all people of noble status?

Even if they go out, the heads of state have to give them respect.”

“Fool, they are just ordinary people!” Ye Chen said with a light smile.

Then he continued to lead Tang Yan deeper inside.

Tang Yan asked curiously, “Ye Chen, what exactly does your friend do inside?

And what is that gold Token you have?

I’ve never seen it before.”

“If I told you my friend is the Clan Leader inside, would you believe me?” Ye Chen revealed a sly smile.

Sss…

Tang Yan shuddered all over and quickly covered Ye Chen’s mouth with her hand, then whispered, “Ye Chen, you’re new to Leisure City, you must be careful.

You absolutely can’t say things like that.

It’s a blasphemy against the nobility, and you could get arrested!”

“Haha…” Ye Chen laughed out loud.

Tang Yan said discontentedly, “I’m telling the truth!”

Ye Chen looked at the adorable Tang Yan, somewhat speechless, as they arrived at the castle’s grand entrance.

Tang Yan looked up at the solemn and hallowed castle.

She suddenly closed her eyes, made the sign of the cross over her chest, and prayed devoutly, “May God bless the Luo Sijue family with everlasting prosperity, Saint Heir, Holy Father, Holy Mother, amen!”

Afterwards, Ye Chen led Tang Yan through the iron gate, past the small patch of flowers, up the steps, step by step towards the interior of the castle.

The higher she went, Tang Yan’s heartbeat quickened, and sweat began to form in the palms of her hands.

“Don’t be nervous, just think of it as a sightseeing tour,” Ye Chen soothed.

Pfft…

That remark made Tang Yan burst into laughter.

This rascal actually treated the Rothschild family’s Main Castle as if it were just a tourist spot.

If the Clan Leader heard this, who knows whether his beard would curl up with anger?

Amused by Ye Chen’s tease, Tang Yan naturally relaxed.

Entering the castle, Tang Yan suddenly felt disappointed.

The decor, while solemn and respectful, did not align with the fairytale world she had imagined, nor was the ground covered with gold bricks and piled high with gold and silver jewelry as rumors had suggested.

“What’s wrong?

Disappointed?” Ye Chen asked with a light smile.

“Not exactly,” Tang Yan shook her head and said, “It’s just different from what I had in mind, so it feels a bit strange.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “Look at the carpet on the ground.

It’s pure handmade wool from Australia and is priced even higher than gold.

So, the rumors about the floor being paved with gold bricks are not far off.”

“Really?” Tang Yan was taken aback.

“Of course!” Ye Chen nodded and continued, “That sofa set air-shipped from Italy costs one million dollars.

This painting is an original Picasso, and this one is an original Da Vinci…”

After Ye Chen’s explanation, Tang Yan was dumbstruck.

The place indeed harbored a trove of wealth.

Just the decorative items in this grand hall alone were worth a fortune, which dazzled Tang Yan.

Then, Ye Chen took her by the hand and led her up to the very top platform of the castle.

The wind was strong up there.

Tang Yan, who was slightly afraid of heights, clung nervously to Ye Chen and walked step by step towards the railing.

Below was a drop of dozens of meters.

Looking down, the entire Leisure City was at their feet, its brilliance enchanting Tang Yan.

Ye Chen stood by, the wind blowing the tips of his hair.

He grappled internally with a question: why are some people’s wishes so simple, while others’ so complex?

Tang Yan wrapped her shaking hands around the railing, then closed her eyes, and with hands clasped together, made a silent wish in her heart.

She believed that a wish made from the top of this centuries-old castle would surely be noticed by God.

“What wish did you make?” Ye Chen, leaning against the railing with a few dozen meters of cliff below him, would fall directly into the sea if he tumbled down.

Facing him was the central area of Leisure City aglow with light.

The entire city seemed immersed in a sea of brilliance.

“I won’t tell you!” Tang Yan showed a touch of crimson.

She snorted softly and said, “You still haven’t told me how you were able to come up to this castle.

Even if you have friends working here, it’s unlikely you’d be allowed inside.

Tell me, who exactly are you?”

“I’m just an ordinary person, visiting Leisure City for the first time!” Ye Chen revealed a mysteriously smiling expression.

Tang Yan was startled; she indeed had never seen Ye Chen before, so it was definitely his first time in Leisure City.

This made Tang Yan wonder how Ye Chen had the privilege to enter this place.

The two stayed atop the castle only briefly before heading back down.

Upon reaching the castle’s grand hall, they encountered a Clan Leader.

Tang Yan’s eyes widened, looking at the familiar elder but unable to utter a word.

The presence of the Clan Leader was known to every person in Leisure City.

They might not recognize Obama or Putin, but they most certainly knew the Clan Leader.

Leisure City was like a large family, and the Clan Leader was an object of their veneration and respect.

“Clan… Clan Leader!” Tang Yan trembled all over.

It was over; she was doomed.

She hadn’t expected to run into the Clan Leader here.

The odds were minuscule within the vast castle, yet she had improbably stumbled right into him.

Tang Yan felt like dying.

“Hehe…” The Clan Leader chuckled without reproach or sternness.

He smiled warmly and said, “Xiao Ye, feel free to show your friend around inside.”

“Yes, Clan Leader,” Ye Chen nodded.

Afterward, the Clan Leader immediately proceeded deeper into the castle with several black-clothed men.

“My goodness…” Tang Yan exclaimed in shock, then her whole body went limp, and she collapsed.

Ye Chen quickly caught her and carried her to a nearby sofa, asking anxiously, “Are you okay?”

“I… I’m just too nervous!” Tang Yan was so anxious her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.

She clutched at it as it pounded almost audibly.

Ye Chen let out a hearty laugh and said, “The Clan Leader is neither a tiger nor a cannibal, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“You jerk, how dare you talk about the Clan Leader like that!” Tang Yan glared at Ye Chen, her expression softening suddenly.

“I never expected the Clan Leader to be so approachable; he always looks so stern in public.

In the eyes of everyone in Leisure City, the Clan Leader is majestic and sacrosanct!”

“Well, of course, he is the Clan Leader after all,” Ye Chen said with a light smile.

Tang Yan rested on the sofa for a while before following Ye Chen out of the castle.

As she left the castle, she was still shivering all over, but also exhilaratingly thrilled to have been inside the castle and met the Clan Leader.

Tang Yan lived near the café, and Ye Chen saw her across the street before taking his leave, to her reluctance.

“Ye Chen, I’m flying to Shanghai tomorrow.

Can I see you tonight?” she asked.

“You will,” Ye Chen nodded.

“That’s great!” Tang Yan nodded, and suddenly, she tiptoed and gave Ye Chen a peck on the cheek, before swiftly running off into the alley, disappearing without a trace.

Ye Chen stood there, perplexed as he watched Tang Yan vanish, then touched his own cheek, the trace of her scent lingering.

With a wry smile, he turned his head and left.
