366: Chapter 355 Chapter 352: What do you want to do?

Smack!

Li Ruo slammed her palm heavily on the coffee table and said grimly, “Mr.

Zhang, do you think so little of the Northern City District project?

With your total investment of merely six billion, even if you were to add another ten billion, that would be just sixteen billion to claim a ten percent stake—pure daydreaming!”

“Ha, Mr.

Li, you’re wrong there!” Zhang Bufen immediately waved his hands and said, “The Northern City District project is no longer what it used to be.

Do you really think it can be developed smoothly?

Hehe…”

Li Ruo was taken aback and asked in shock, “What are you planning to do?”

“It’s not about what I want to do, but rather, I believe that the Northern City District project has no future!” Zhang Bufen laughed heartily.

“What if Ye Chen comes back?” Li Ruo frowned.

“Ye Chen?” Zhang Bufen was startled, then he sneered, “Ye Chen can’t come back.

He has vanished for over a month.”

“Ha, Mr.

Zhang, you’re not very well-informed, are you?” Li Ruo laughed and said, “Ye Chen has been back for two days now.

Surely you’re not unaware of even this bit of information?”

Zhang Bufen’s face darkened as he said menacingly, “So what if Ye Chen is back?

There are some things that nobody can stop!”

Zhang Bufen left immediately after speaking.

He needed to investigate Ye Chen’s situation thoroughly.

Surely that guy couldn’t have just come back, could he?

After disappearing for more than a month, to just return like that—it seemed he’d been praying every morning for nothing, hoping Ye Chen would never come back.

Better yet, he’d hoped he’d die out there…

…

Ye Chen arrived at the entrance of Tianya Group, just as Li Ruo, clutching a Louis Vuitton bag, was coming out, with Lin Ziwen following behind her.

Seeing Ye Chen, Li Ruo’s face broke into a relieved smile.

It had been days since she’d seen him, and this morning when she woke up, she thought everything that happened the day before had been a dream.

Now, seeing Ye Chen stand before her in the flesh gave her a strong sense of reliance.

“Ye Chen!” Li Ruo said with a tender smile.

“Hm!” Ye Chen nodded and asked, “Aren’t you cold dressed like that?”

“The weather’s warming up; it’s nearly April!” Li Ruo smiled sweetly at Ye Chen, while Lin Ziwen quickly said, “Mr.

Li, I’ll head back first.

I’ll make a list of tomorrow’s tasks!”

“Alright!” Li Ruo nodded.

Just then, the Milking Girl came out of the company, spotted Ye Chen, and ran over excitedly, laughing, “Ye Chen, that’s some brotherhood!”

“Uhh…” Ye Chen was stunned, then looked at the Milking Girl in confusion.

The Milking Girl grinned and said, “On the day of the wedding, your appearance was so cool, it gave me an exhilarating feeling.

Wow, to have a man show up like that for a wedding heist—I’ve never seen it before.

If a guy ever did that for me, I’d follow him with no hesitation!”

“Xingxing!” Li Ruo gave her a stern look.

Xingxing quickly stuck out her cute pink tongue, then skulked away from the scene.

Before she left, she turned back and said, “Ye Chen, you better take good care of Sister Li Ruo; she’s a great woman!”

After saying that, she ran off quickly.

Li Ruo’s face turned crimson, and when she turned her head to look at Ye Chen, her face was as red as a ripe apple.

She bit her red lips, then spoke up, “Let’s go for dinner!”

Ye Chen wanted to tell her he had already eaten, but faced with the beautiful lady’s invitation, he could only agree.

He drove towards Xiangming Mountain, where there was a lake with a very distinctive restaurant on it: the Waterfront Restaurant.

The food at the Waterfront Restaurant was excellent.

Ye Chen had been there once with Li Ruo, but the prices were a bit steep.

After all, for the working class, it was not something they could afford to enjoy; it was more for the social elite.

Curiosity got the better of Ye Chen on his second visit.

He parked his car in the lot right next to the shore.

From the shore, there was a pontoon bridge that led directly to the island opposite.

As they walked on the pontoon bridge, they could feel the gentle waves rippling under their feet.

Spring equinox had passed, and the weather was slowly changing, with the days getting longer than in winter.

Previously, he couldn’t see anything outside after work, but now, he could still catch a glimpse of the sunset.

The two walked hand in hand carefully along the pontoon bridge.

Li Ruo, hooking her arm with Ye Chen’s, suddenly stopped and asked with a smile, “Ye Chen, if one day I fall into the water, would you jump in without hesitation to save me?”

“Of course I will!” Ye Chen nodded immediately.

“And…” Li Ruo’s lips turned up slightly as she said, “What if Liu Momo and I both fell into the water at the same time?

Whom would you save first?!”

Ye Chen was startled and immediately looked dumbfounded.

It seemed Li Ruo already knew about his situation with Liu Momo.

Instead of answering her question right away, Ye Chen said, “Xiao Ruo, listen to me, Momo is a pitiable child…”

Then, Ye Chen told Li Ruo about Liu Momo’s circumstances.

“Fool, do you think I don’t know?” Li Ruo snorted lightly and said, “But living with Momo like that, don’t you think it’s inappropriate?”

“This…” Ye Chen responded with a wry smile, “What can I do?

I sleep in the living room at night, and Momo sleeps in the bed.

Besides, she only comes back to stay over on the weekends, so you don’t have to worry at all!”

“Hmph, not worry?

With Liu Momo being such a beautiful girl, what if you turn into a beast one day and take advantage of her?” Li Ruo glared at Ye Chen, who could only shrug helplessly.

Li Ruo then pressed him again, “Now answer my previous question!”

“This…

seems like a tough question!” Ye Chen said awkwardly.

“Is it that difficult?” Li Ruo pouted with tears welling up in her eyes.

Ye Chen quickly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and said, “Of course I’d save our adorable Xiao Ruo first.

If Xiao Ruo were gone, wouldn’t the world lose some of its charms?”

“Really?” Li Ruo asked in surprise.

“Of course it’s true!” Ye Chen grinned, saying whatever seemed right for the moment.

When Liu Momo asked, he’d probably give the same response.

As long as the two of them didn’t confront him with the same question together, it would be fine.

Li Ruo showed a smile and then kissed Ye Chen’s cheek, saying, “Actually, you should save Momo first.

Momo is such a pitiable girl, all alone in the world, so you should save her, understand?”

“Is that what you really think?” Ye Chen was taken aback.

“Of course!” Li Ruo nodded her head.

Ye Chen was deeply touched inside.

He had never expected Xiao Ruo to have such a kind and adorable side.

He hugged her tightly, his affection for Li Ruo deepening with his heartfelt love.

Looking at her playful expression, Ye Chen couldn’t help but go in for a kiss, his lips capturing hers, followed by his tongue gliding over her lips.

“Mmm…” Li Ruo moaned softly, trembling ever so faintly.

Ye Chen’s tongue probed further, quickly entangling with Li Ruo’s.

With their arms wrapped tightly around each other, the two stood quietly on the pontoon, attracting sidelong glances from passersby who saw the couple immersed in love.

The occasional whistle from someone passing by caused Li Ruo to shyly bury her head in Ye Chen’s chest like an ostrich, refusing to look up for a long time.

“Let’s go, let’s go in to eat!” Ye Chen said with a grin, playfully pinching Li Ruo’s cute, turned-up nose.

“Mhm!” Li Ruo flashed a sweet smile.

After so many days, today was the happiest and most blissful one yet.

Without the annoyance of the fatso and the misunderstandings with Ye Chen cleared up, it was the first time Li Ruo truly felt the joy of going from cloudy skies to clear ones.

The two entered the restaurant hand in hand.

…

Meanwhile, the Squad Leader of the Doomsday Family had taken Liu Zhinan away.

What could his intentions be?

In an abandoned house in Jianghuai City, five or six men in masks were scattered throughout the room, illuminated by a single incandescent lamp.

The light was dim, casting long shadows around the room.

The man at the forefront stood in front of Liu Zhinan.

Liu had had a long dream and upon awakening, was shocked to find himself a prisoner.

He scrambled up and looked solemnly at the few masked men before him, asking, “Who are you?”

“Hehe, Liu Zhinan, surely you haven’t forgotten who we are?” the Squad Leader said indifferently.

“You…

you’re from the Doomsday Family!” Liu Zhinan had some understanding of certain secretive families.

The Liu Family had some dealings with the Doomsday Family.

However, it was clear that the Doomsday Family was all about forming cliques, while the Liu Family was a large, traditional family, quite different from the Doomsday Family – a group of people that was neither here nor there.
