The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 455 - 455 440 Being a Security Guard

455: Chapter 440: Being a Security Guard 455: Chapter 440: Being a Security Guard At this moment, the racing driver in the yellow sports car alighted from his vehicle.

The man was dressed in clean attire, his skin fair and clean, not at all like some racers who wore garish outfits.

Instead, he had a bit of a scholarly air.

Sporting a pair of black-framed glasses, he walked toward Ye Chen, then shyly smiled and said, “Your driving skills are quite good!”

“You’re not bad yourself!” Ye Chen pursed his lips, smiling in return.

“I’m really glad I could race with you!” The man reached out to shake hands with Ye Chen and added, “I hope there’s a chance to compete with you again in future!”

“I’d rather not!” Ye Chen shook his head, speaking indifferently, “I’m not a professional racer, this time I was just fighting for a place on someone’s behalf.

Take a breather, as a professional, you shouldn’t compete for spots with amateurs, it’s pointless.”

“Hehe, you’re slapping me in the face with that comment!” The man laughed awkwardly.

“I wouldn’t dare!” Ye Chen quickly waved his hand and said, “I have a friend on the Mainland who set up a racing club.

If you’re interested, you could go check it out.

I hope you can get along.

After all, the racing circle is so small, being able to gather means being friends!”

“Sure, can you give me the contact details?” The man nodded immediately.

Then, Ye Chen handed over Young Master Wei’s business card directly to the man, who took it, nodding, “My name is Liu Baida, I think we’ll meet again!”

After he spoke, the man climbed back into his car, and the procession of vehicles slowly departed from Taiping Mountain.

The crowd from Hong Kong that had been watching burst into enthusiastic applause, cheering and exclaiming.

The amateur racing team from Hong Kong had beaten the international racer.

This was certainly cause for celebration.

Ye Chen also promptly said goodbye to Li Hao, took Gongsun Yue with him, and then drove off in the Maserati that, while not particularly powerful, had a stunning exterior.

They drove slowly through the mountain roads of Taiping Mountain.

Gongsun Yue was even more filled with curiosity towards Ye Chen, this man shrouded in mystery, who was not only agile but also very influential.

Under his handsome appearance, just what kind of heart was hidden?

And beneath his attractive contours, what kind of identity was concealed?

All for avenging a brother, he recklessly placed himself in danger without a second thought…

Intrigued, Gongsun Yue asked, “Ye Chen… what did you used to do?”

“I was a security guard!” Ye Chen grinned, chuckling.

“Nonsense, I don’t believe it!” Gongsun Yue huffed, looking at Ye Chen, “Why aren’t any of our security guards at home as fun as you?”

“Well… that would depend on the person, right?” Ye Chen was taken aback, laughing, “Besides, if you haven’t interacted with them, how would you know they’re not fun?

Just like our first meeting, would you have thought I was fun?”

“You have a point there!” Gongsun Yue nodded.

Soon, the Maserati arrived at the Gongsun Family mansion.

Ye Chen stepped out of the car and said with a smile, “Little Yue, good night!”

“Mhm, good night!” Gongsun Yue nodded.

Just as Ye Chen was leaving, Gongsun Yue suddenly ran up to him, tiptoed, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Then, like a startled little deer, she dashed away quickly.

Ye Chen turned to watch Gongsun Yue’s graceful figure disappearing, a wry smile on his face.

By the time he returned to the temporary headquarters set up by the Heavenly Reversal Gang at Chen Nanfei’s villa, it was already past 10 p.m.

“Brother Chen, you’re back!” Feng Zhi Xiao and the others had gathered inside, seemingly discussing something.

“Everyone’s here?” Ye Chen walked in and took a seat among the crowd.

A little brother tossed him an ice-cold beer.

With the air conditioning blasting in the hall, Ye Chen cracked open the can and chugged it down, while his brothers grinned and said, “Brother Chen, let’s discuss when we should head back to Jianghuai City.”

“Is everything in Hong Kong settled down?” Ye Chen glanced at the crowd.

“It’s basically all dealt with, but Heizi said he wants to stay to take care of business here in Hong Kong for Brother Chen!” Feng Zhi Xiao looked at Ye Chen.

“Mm, let’s put the matters here on hold for now,” Ye Chen glanced at Da Hei and said, “Right now, your most important responsibility is to improve yourselves.

We’re not in a hurry to expand.

Enhancing the strength of the eight of you is what I need most.

Tomorrow, you’ll all head back to Jianghuai City, and we’ll temporarily entrust the Gongsun Family with managing things in Hong Kong.

After returning, continue your training in Leisure City in a couple of days.

That training cannot be interrupted; you must reach the second level for us to have the hope of expanding the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s operations!”

“Yes!” The others revealed eyes full of surprise and delight.

Ye Chen was preparing to return to Jianghuai City.

Meanwhile, in Jianghuai City, Li Ruo was distressed over how to shake off Kong Haoran.

From initial sympathy to current exhaustion, it seemed as if Li Ruo had fallen from heaven into hell.

The current Kong Haoran was almost unrecognizable compared to his past self.

Because of this, Li Ruo was distracted and gave out wrong orders on many matters.

She even approved documents erroneously.

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Ziwen, standing to the side, spoke up discontentedly, “Mr.

Li, you can’t go on like this.

If this continues, the company will eventually be destroyed!”

“Ah, Ziwen, what should I do now?” Li Ruo propped her cheeks with her hands, looking delicate yet utterly listless as if she hadn’t slept all night—a flower drooping miserably.

“What can you do?

Just dump that Kong Haoran!” Lin Ziwen gritted his teeth.

“That guy doesn’t even act like a man!”

“Ah, don’t talk about him like that!” Li Ruo still defended Kong Haoran, saying, “He’s just been too busy with work and neglected his own feelings, leading to some emotional deformity.

Perhaps it’s partly my fault too.

Asking me to dump him, but, when he risked his life to protect me…”

“Mr.

Li, isn’t your compassion a bit too overflowing?” Lin Ziwen bit back, “What about Ye Chen?

He’s come close to sacrificing his life time and again.

When bullets pierced his chest, when the piece of wood that could have taken our lives was hurtling toward him, when Ye Chen threw himself at the car bomb to save you with his flesh and blood, why didn’t you say these things then?”

“I…” Li Ruo was at a loss for words and sighed, “My heart has room only for Ye Chen.

But I can’t just abandon Kong Haoran.

If I don’t agree to his request, I fear he really might opt for suicide!”

“Hmph, such a grown man being all weepy and acting like a woman.

If he wants to die, let him!” Lin Ziwen could no longer stand it.

That guy was like a scoundrel, the likes of which she had never seen.

Lin Ziwen had some mettle, and almost everyone in Tianya Group couldn’t bear to watch, but Li Ruo remained indecisive.

Except for the time when Kong Haoran proposed, and Li Ruo refused, she had accommodated almost all his other requests.

Luckily, Kong Haoran had not been excessively demanding, not asking for anything unreasonable.

Even if he did, Li Ruo would certainly have firmly refused, just like she had back in the United States.

When Kong Haoran suggested they get intimate, Li Ruo rejected him outright.

Perhaps because she was so stern back then, Kong Haoran has never dared to entertain any improper thoughts to this day.

“Haoran has indeed changed!” Li Ruo shook her head, saying, “He’s changed to the point where I hardly recognize him!”

At that moment, a call came in from the front desk, and Little Mei hurriedly dialed the internal line to Li Ruo’s office.

Seeing it was the front desk extension, Li Ruo quickly picked up the phone and asked, “Little Mei, what’s going on?”

“Mr.

Li, Mr.

Kong has come to the company looking for you again; he says he needs you to come down!” Little Mei urgently reported.

“Alright, I understand!” Li Ruo nodded.

Lin Ziwen snorted and said, “I bet that guy is here to cause trouble again!”

“Ah, let’s go, come down with me!” Li Ruo said helplessly, fully aware of Kong Haoran’s intentions.

These past few days, he had insinuated and hinted at marriage multiple times, but Li Ruo had refused him every time.

She had no idea what he could possibly want now.

Li Ruo and Lin Ziwen then hurriedly made their way downstairs.

When they emerged from the elevator, they found Tianya Group’s lobby encircled by employees.

Everyone was gathered around something, so Li Ruo sensed something was off.

Lin Ziwen made way through the crowd, allowing Li Ruo to enter.

When the view cleared, a sea of flowers greeted her.

Roses of various colors were piled up in the Tianya Group lobby, astonishing everyone who saw them.

“Good heavens, all these roses?” Li Ruo was stunned.

At that moment, a figure emerged from among the flowers.

Kong Haoran, sitting in a wheelchair, rolled out slowly.

He wore a smile and said, “Ruo, here are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses representing my sincere declaration of love.

I hope you will marry me!”

As he spoke, Kong Haoran took out a ring box from his pocket.

He opened it to reveal a twinkling diamond ring before Li Ruo, eliciting gasps from the surrounding crowd.

Good lord, is she putting on the ring or is the ring putting her on?

How can someone not be tired with such a large diamond on their finger?

Li Ruo’s eyes widened at the scene, feeling a sudden pang in her heart.

How perfect it would be if the man in front of her was Ye Chen instead of Kong Haoran?

Alas, what had happened had happened, and the person in front of her couldn’t be Ye Chen.

Li Ruo said helplessly, “Haoran, is this your way of pressuring me?”
