The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 516: Chapter 501: Liu Momo’s Pain

"Momo, don’t cry anymore, okay?" Ye Chen became somewhat anxious. With people coming and going at the South Gate, he always felt uncomfortable under their stares, so he wanted to quickly comfort Liu Momo. Liu Momo looked up at Ye Chen, her delicate face adorned with crystal-clear tears, resembling a figure made of tears, eliciting pity and compassion. She made one want to hold her tightly in their arms. Liu Momo sobbed, "No, no, it just won’t do!"

"Ah, my little ancestor, then what do you want?" Ye Chen felt somewhat helpless.

"I don’t want to leave Brother Chen, not now, not ever!" Liu Momo raised her head, looking at Ye Chen, and declared, "I want to marry Brother Chen!"

Ye Chen became somewhat vexed. The passersby overheard Liu Momo’s words and were immediately surprised. They stared at Ye Chen, cursing inwardly, "Shit, this guy is really no good, rejecting such a beautiful girl?" Such a beautiful girl, whose smile could charm a whole city, is tearfully saying she wants to marry him, and he is still hesitant. If it were any of them, they would probably have agreed long ago, even if it meant kicking their plain wives to the curb.

"Momo, we can talk about getting married later, okay?" Ye Chen hurriedly pulled Liu Momo to her feet.

Liu Momo immediately threw herself into Ye Chen’s arms, clinging tightly to him, as if she might lose him at any moment. Holding Ye Chen, she cried again, "Brother Chen, then you promise me, you won’t leave me, you won’t abandon Momo!"

"Alright, alright, I promise, is that okay?" Ye Chen quickly nodded.

"Hmph, that’s more like it!" Liu Momo, like a little elf, stopped crying as soon as she heard Ye Chen’s promise. Ye Chen held Liu Momo’s exquisite and delicate face, truly a masterpiece of the Creator. He couldn’t help saying, "Look, such a beautiful face, and you’ve cried it all into a mess!"

Pfft...

Liu Momo immediately burst into laughter, trying to suppress her smile, she said, "Brother Chen is a big bad guy, making a girl cry without knowing how to cherish and treasure her!"

"Silly girl, isn’t Brother Chen doing this for your own good?" Ye Chen said helplessly, "We had already agreed that we’ll make a decision after you graduate from college. Who knows, maybe by then you’ll have found a man even better than Brother Chen?"

"Hmph, I couldn’t care less!" Liu Momo snorted lightly and said, "In this life, I am Ye Chen’s in life and in death!"

"Ssss, how terrifying, even as a ghost!" Ye Chen shuddered and then quickly ran away.

"Don’t run, stinky Brother Chen, you’re not allowed to run!" Liu Momo immediately chased after him.

The two frolicked at the South Gate, and soon, Liu Momo’s mood improved, and her face was filled with smiles. This simple girl had not corrected her innocence even after two months of working a summer job.

They chose an ice cream shop, enjoying the air conditioning and feeling very comfortable. Each held a cup of slushie as they started chatting. Liu Momo said she wanted to open a kindergarten and become a teacher after she graduated, so she could play with the children every day.

Ye Chen pinched her nose and said, "Silly girl, you’ve been in contact with society for two months, why haven’t you shed your innocence yet?"

"The world is too complex. If innocence is a disease, I hope it’s a contagious one!" Liu Momo said earnestly, looking at Ye Chen, "Then, it would infect everyone, making each person a little simpler, and the world would no longer be so complicated."

Ye Chen’s heart suddenly vibrated, and Liu Momo’s words shook him deeply. That shock was as if a bell rang through him, penetrating deeply from the surface to his core. This left Ye Chen speechless. He realized that he had never really understood Momo. He had always considered Liu Momo too naive, so he protected her like a princess.

Unexpectedly, this princess had suddenly grown up, leaving Ye Chen with an immense sense of loss. Indeed, once the princess grew up, perhaps she would lose her beauty, her innocence. However, Liu Momo’s growth might not be a bad thing. Contact with society had taught her about the good and bad, the beauty and ugliness of the world, and the principles of survival.

Ye Chen said with a faint smile, "Indeed, the world is too complex, always on guard, always wary."

"Brother Chen, don’t you think such a life is tiring?" Liu Momo looked at Ye Chen and said, "Those two months in the company, I really came to understand a lot. Office politics, superficial smiles, and the knives behind one’s back..."

"Tell Brother Chen about it!" Ye Chen smiled.

Then, Liu Momo began to tell Ye Chen about the hardships and pains of the past two months. When she first arrived at the company, naturally, it drew the delight and frenzy of her male colleagues. However, Liu Momo’s beauty didn’t bring convenience or benefits but instead drew envy, jealousy, and hatred from the women in the office. A series of events targeted at Liu Momo unfolded in the office.

For instance, when a contract wasn’t finalized, a saleswoman actually blamed Liu Momo, the clerk, saying Liu Momo printed the contract too late, causing her to set off late... many incidents like this. If it weren’t for the support of Li Wen and Qianqian, as well as the understanding of that male manager at the company, Liu Momo might have run away a long time ago. However, Liu Momo persevered all along, and her mindset became incredibly serene. It was during these two months that Liu Momo, a naive and innocent young girl, suddenly turned into a worried young woman.

If Ye Chen hadn’t discovered it today, he might have never known that within Liu Momo’s heart, there was another her hiding. In front of Ye Chen, Liu Momo had always behaved like a simple girl, but during this time, the young lady suddenly grew up, changing so much that Ye Chen found it a bit hard to adjust.

"Momo, you’ve suffered!" Ye Chen comforted.

"It’s nothing!" Liu Momo wiped her tears and said, "I actually see it as a valuable asset in my life, because if I had always grown up under Brother Chen’s wings, I might never have encountered these things. They’re what made me grow and mature emotionally."

"That’s true," Ye Chen said as he wiped away Liu Momo’s tears. "How about you come home five times this week? Brother Chen will pick you up and cook something delicious for you. How does that sound?"

"Great!" Liu Momo immediately said with joy. "I haven’t been home in a long time, more than half a month now. Without Brother Chen, the house feels cold and empty, so I just decided to stay in the dorm!"

"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded. "Then I’ll take you back now!"

After that, Ye Chen immediately took Liu Momo back. On the return trip from Jianghuai University, Ye Chen realized that Liu Momo had changed, from a naive girl into a mature and sensible young woman. The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth turned up slightly.

Sometimes, people can feel time flying by, and sometimes, they feel like days drag on like years. Ye Chen had fought hard at Tianya Group for several days, finally managing to sort out the affairs of the Northern City District branch. Shit, Ye Chen was so tired he was about to collapse. There were so many things waiting for him: business negotiations, project supervision, project audits... It seemed like everything had to revolve around his hand.

He had finally understood why emperors in ancient times didn’t want to hold court at dawn or review petitions. It was because it was just too tiring. I mean, a guy finally becomes an Emperor, who wouldn’t want to enjoy it? Who would willingly exhaust himself to attend the early morning court?

"Ye Chen, tired?" Fang Fei came over and began massaging Ye Chen’s shoulders.

"Ah, that’s comfortable!" Ye Chen leaned back in his chair and said, "No wonder kings didn’t hold morning court, women are alluring but also trouble. A massage almost made me wave the white flag!"

"Hahaha..." Liu Shang almost burst out laughing.

"Cut it out!" Fang Fei blushed and glared at Ye Chen. "If you can, fight me for real!"

"Go on, Ye Chen, don’t be shy!" Liu Shang immediately said excitedly. "If any woman dared to challenge me like that, I’d have her on the couch immediately, a hundred times, oh a hundred times!"

"Liu Shang, stop making a scene!" Fang Fei couldn’t help but glare at Liu Shang.

"Yes, yes, I’ll back off, just waiting for the golden words of Vice President Ye," said Liu Shang with a grin.

Afterward, Fang Fei immediately burst into laughter, pouting at Ye Chen. Ye Chen quickly waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I admit I’m impotent, I admit I can’t do it. Alright?"

Fang Fei covered her mouth and laughed. Not just Fang Fei, but all the other girls in the office started laughing too. They all looked at Ye Chen with red faces and beaming smiles. Ye Chen responded calmly and casually, "Vice President Ye, you can’t be like that; otherwise, Mr. Li won’t have a happy sex life in the future!"

"Hahaha..." Liu Shang let out another uproarious laugh. But Ye Chen quickly retorted, "Don’t say that, this is an indirect form of impotence!"

"I get it!" Liu Shang immediately stood up from his chair.

"What do you get?" Chen Qiong asked curiously.

"Vice President Ye’s so-called indirect impotence means that he’s picky. With someone like Fang Fei, even if she stripped naked in front of him, it might not stir his little brother into action!" Liu Shang grinned and laughed.
