The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

348: Chapter 337 Chapter 334: Tang Yan’s Sacrifice 348: Chapter 337 Chapter 334: Tang Yan’s Sacrifice “I haven’t seen you in so long…

I…

I miss you a bit!” Tang Yan opened her eyes wide, her beautiful pupils gazing at Ye Chen, and said, “Aunt Yun said that Prince Charming falling in love with Cinderella isn’t just something that happens in fairy tales, it exists in real life too, what do you think…

is that true?”

“Yes!” Ye Chen nodded resolutely.

“Then…” At this moment, a blush spread across Tang Yan’s face, and she looked at Ye Chen with shy eyes and asked, “Then…

do you like me?”

“Like, how could I not like you!” Ye Chen nodded immediately.

“Ye Chen, can…

can you kiss me?” Tang Yan pleaded as she looked at Ye Chen, saying, “Let me leave this world within your kiss, can you?”

Ye Chen didn’t hesitate at all and immediately kissed her.

He captured Tang Yan’s red lips, and as she closed her eyes with a smile, tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.

Who says fairy tale stories can only happen in fairy tales; who says there’s no love when the time together is short; who says the power of love won’t sacrifice one’s life for the other; who says…

A song without words, within the castle, a mournful melody arose.

This lament was only heard when an important member of the Luo Sijue family passed away.

And when the residents of Leisure City heard the lament, they had to stand up and face the direction of the castle to offer their prayers.

Shen Haotian had fled, and Yun Qi had vanished.

All the guards gathered in the square, placing their right hands over their hearts, then facing the direction of the castle.

Ye Chen walked slowly down from the castle, holding Tang Yan’s body…

Tang Yan’s death was a huge blow to Ye Chen, and it also brought about many changes in him.

Her death made Ye Chen realize that if he liked someone, he must cling to them tightly, he must protect them well, and not let them suffer even the slightest harm.

As for his enemies, he must be ruthless, absolutely without a merciful heart.

The remnants of compassion for his enemies in Ye Chen’s heart had completely turned cold.

Ye Chen buried Tang Yan in the garden of the Luo Sijue family, where all the members of the family were laid to rest.

Originally, Tang Yan didn’t have the right to be buried there, but it was because of Ye Chen’s insistence that she could enjoy such honor.

But in the end, with her gone, what use was such honor to her?

“Xiao Ye, some things, once they’re past, let them go!” The Clan Leader stood behind Ye Chen, surrounded by a field of tombstones.

“Hmm!” Ye Chen nodded, then looked at the Clan Leader and said, “Clan Leader, please take care of the Luo Sijue family’s affairs.

I will come back to take over the position of Clan Leader when the time is right.”

“Don’t worry!” The Clan Leader smiled gently and said, “As long as I’m here, no one will dare to mess with the Luo Sijue family.”

Guarding this sacred land, guarding this world much like a Utopia, was the responsibility of the leaders of the Luo Sijue family throughout the generations.

They poured their hearts and blood into their duty, some even dying in their prime.

All was for the prosperity of the family, for the strength of the family.

Although they came from various parts of Asia, they all held a loyal heart.

After Tang Yan’s burial, everything calmed down again.

The political upheaval within the Luo Sijue family had settled down with Ye Chen’s faction victorious, and this caused a lot of discussions among the residents of Leisure City, of course, most were very supportive of Ye Chen.

On the day before he left Carefree Island, Ye Chen made a special trip to the same coffee shop he had visited with Tang Yan.

As soon as he entered, Aunt Yun saw Ye Chen.

“Young Master Ye!” Aunt Yun greeted with respect.

“There’s no need for such formalities, Aunt Yun!” Ye Chen said with a light smile, “I’m just here for a cup of coffee.”

“Sure, please have a seat!” Aunt Yun led Ye Chen to a quiet table and then asked, “What would you like to order, Young Master?”

“A cup of Blue Mountain coffee, please!” Ye Chen said with a smile.

Aunt Yun was slightly startled, then immediately turned and left.

Shortly after, a fragrant coffee was brought up and placed in front of Ye Chen.

He smiled, picked up the cup gently, and took a sip.

Aunt Yun sat down in front of Ye Chen and said, “Blue Mountain coffee was Little Yan’s favorite in life!”

“Hmm!” Ye Chen nodded and replied, “Little Yan was a kind girl.”

“Yes, kind enough not to bear stepping on even an ant!” Aunt Yun’s eyes reddened as she spoke.

She pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the tears from her eyes, and said, “It’s just a pity that heaven is so cruel to have taken her away like this.”

“Actually, the one who should have died was me!” Ye Chen set down his coffee cup.

“No, no!” Aunt Yun hastily shook her head and said, “Actually, Little Yan’s ability to die for Young Master Ye was also a blessing for Leisure City.

Now, many people have already begun to regard Little Yan as a hero.

Isn’t the fact that she could be buried in the Rothschild family’s cemetery proof enough?”

“Once people are dead, what use are those empty honors?

Being alive is more important than anything!” Ye Chen scoffed coldly.

Aunt Yun simply covered her mouth and did not speak.

Moments later, Ye Chen left the café and wandered alone around Leisure City.

Looking at those familiar streets, he so wished the girl whom he’d exchanged Tang Yan with could suddenly pop out at that moment and shout, “Ye Chen, take me to play in the castle!”

Some things, only when lost, do we realize their value; some things, once lost, will never return.

Ye Chen sat by the sea for a night and thought through many things.

There were certain things that absolutely must not be lost from one’s life, like Li Ruo, Ms.

Yan, Liu Momo…

He had to grasp hold of all of them without exception; once lost, they could never be regained.

…

In Jianghuai City, after Ye Chen had left, Tianya Group faced an unprecedented predicament.

The Northern City District project had come to a sudden halt due to lack of funds.

The general manager of the Northern City District project’s branch office was replaced on short notice, and as a result, the bank loans were delayed and shareholders from major investment consortia were no longer willing to continue investing.

The over one hundred billion that Tianya Group managed to scrape together simply wasn’t enough, leaving Li Ruo almost at her wits’ end.

At Monday’s shareholders’ meeting, the room was engulfed in silence, not a sound to be heard.

Li Ruo sat in the chairman’s seat, then swept a glance over everyone and said, “Now that Tianya Group faces such a substantial problem, can’t any of you think of a solution?”

“Mr.

Li, in my opinion, why don’t we just break up that project?” A shareholder with the surname Liao stood up, glanced around at everyone, and said, “If the Northern City District project continues to stagnate like this, it’s going to drag our Tianya Group down into total ruin.”

“That’s right!” Another shareholder immediately nodded and said, “I strongly suggest dividing and contracting out the Northern City District project!”

The shareholders proposed such an idea out of desperation, yet they were ignorantly unaware.

At a time like this, who would dare to take on the Northern City District project, a quagmire muddled as mud?

Whoever took it would be the unlucky one.

Li Ruo chuckled coldly and said, “If you have the ability, then help me break off this project, can you speak without being brainless?!”

Li Ruo’s words immediately deepened the silence in the room.

When the chairman lost her temper, who would dare to provoke her?

Fatty Liu hurriedly fanned Li Ruo with a small fan on the side, saying, “Ruoruo, don’t be so angry, talking to this bunch of brainless people is simply exhausting!”

Li Ruo glared at Fatty Liu and said, “Shut up.

If Ye Chen were here, this wouldn’t have happened at all.

It’s all because of you that Tianya Group has fallen into its current state!”

“What does this have to do with me?” Fatty Liu was quite annoyed.

One is a Ph.D.

in psychology and getting one to manage such a big project was damn frustrating, but Fatty Liu didn’t say it outright, rather he spoke with great irritation, “Even if Ye Chen came, I doubt things would be much better.

Does he have some magical powers to bring back the dead?

I simply had the misfortune of taking Ye Chen’s place at this time, so you put all the blame on me.”

“Hmph!” Li Ruo huffed softly.

During the shareholder’s meeting, the attendees babbled on, arguing for a long time, yet unable to come to any sort of conclusion, the meeting ended in disarray.

Fatty Liu had been pestering Li Ruo ever since Ye Chen left, trying every trick in the book to cheer her up.

However, after Ye Chen’s departure, Li Ruo’s emotions remained extremely unstable, even showing a hint of violent tendencies.

It was only after Ye Chen had left that Li Ruo realized how deeply she missed him; perhaps, the situation was not really as she had perceived.

While seeing is believing and hearing is doubting, sometimes one’s eyes can also deceive.

When she wanted to hear Ye Chen’s explanation, Ye Chen had already disappeared, and she had visited Ye Chen’s residence several times, only to find the door locked every time.

When seeking out Feng Zhixiao and the others, it was like running into a cold iceberg; whenever Li Ruo sought Feng Zhixiao and others, they coldly informed her that Brother Chen was not there, that he had left Jianghuai City and gone abroad.

“Ruoruo, I have an idea!” Fatty Liu chased after Li Ruo into the office.

“What idea?” Li Ruo was startled, but anything about the Northern City District project greatly concerned her.

Hearing Fatty Liu’s words, she immediately looked at him curiously.

Fatty Liu smiled and said, “We can ask my aunt, your aunt, for an investment.

She will surely be able to fund you.”

Li Ruo paused to think for a moment, then a surprised smile appeared on her face, and she said, “Of course, how did I not think of that?”

“Let’s go, we’ll go home and ask Aunt Yun!” Fatty Liu said excitedly.

“Alright!” Li Ruo immediately nodded in agreement.
