Chapter 582: Chapter 563: Drunk or Not Drunk

Ye Chen watched everyone having a blast and decided to leave the Heavenly Reversal Gang early.

In Jiangnan No.1 District, Ye Chen returned to the villa with a drunken face. As soon as he got out of the car, Little Yezi went crazy and rushed out. Ye Chen hugged Little Yezi with a smile and then grinned, "You little rascal, you wouldn’t be craving a smoke, would you?"

"Woof woof..." Little Yezi nodded eagerly, seeming a bit irritable from the recent smoking cessation. No wonder Li Ruo had been annoyed by it lately. Ye Chen sneaked a peek inside the villa; Li Ruo had not come out, so he quickly slipped a cigarette to Little Yezi and then cautioned, "Don’t bark, okay? Otherwise, if you’re discovered, I’m in for it!"

"Wu wu..." Little Yezi immediately voiced his muffled barks, seemingly expressing his inner joy.

Ye Chen quietly lit the cigarette for him, and the two of them sat down on the lawn in the garden. Ye Chen lay on the grass, guessing that Li Ruo was working upstairs; the girl was a typical workaholic, always liking to bring unfinished company business home to work on. Ye Chen had long been used to it. Knowing that Li Ruo was busy, he simply sat outside to accompany Little Yezi for a while.

Little Yezi squatted on the grass, smoking like a panda holding bamboo, with a surprisingly practiced motion. If you’re worried that she might accidentally singe the fur that had grown back, then your concern is really unnecessary. With her two paws firmly gripping the cigarette, she took a puff and then leisurely exhaled the white smoke from her nose with movements even more skilled than a human’s, especially the hazy look in her eyes as she exhaled the smoke, which was irresistibly amusing.

"Little Yezi, how come you like smoking so much?" Ye Chen asked in amazement.

However, while smoking, Little Yezi completely ignored both Ye Chen’s words and actions. It wasn’t until she had finished half the cigarette that she casually threw the butt on the ground, yawned as if she had just had a big smoke. Having had her smoke, Little Yezi treated Ye Chen as if he were invisible and laid down to sleep beside him. Ye Chen embraced Little Yezi, who surprisingly smelled of shower gel perfume—probably because the maid bathed her every day.

"Little Yezi, tell me, if one day I leave this place, will Xiao Ruo miss me?" Ye Chen’s head leaned against Little Yezi.

"Woof..." Little Yezi gave a response.

"What about if one day I leave this world?" Ye Chen embraced Little Yezi.

Little Yezi lifted her head to look at Ye Chen, then roared at him, "Woof woof..."

It seemed like a protest against Ye Chen’s words, as if Little Yezi, afraid that she would have no cigarettes to smoke in the future, firmly refused to allow Ye Chen to leave Li Ruo or herself. Little Yezi glared at Ye Chen, then got up and headed inside the villa. Ye Chen muttered, "Shit, even a dog looks down on me!"

Back in the villa, the maid brewed a cup of tea for Ye Chen to sober up. Li Ruo descended gracefully from the second floor, saw Ye Chen sitting in the living room, and smiled, "I thought you had vanished!"

"Not at all! If I were to vanish, I’d take you with me!" Ye Chen said with a smirk.

"Smarty-pants!" Li Ruo huffed, and after she descended, she immediately frowned, "Did you drink?"

"Just a bit!" Ye Chen replied, then pulled Li Ruo into his arms and buried his head in her chest, inhaling deeply the scent of her body, a fragrance and a longing sensation that he relished. He took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Ruo, tell me, what would you do if one day you couldn’t find me?"

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Li Ruo looked at Ye Chen with curiosity.

"Some things might not be believed if they are spoken aloud!" Ye Chen looked at Li Ruo with a chuckle, saying, "Because some things simply cannot be explained by science."

"Ye Chen, are you drunk?" Li Ruo touched his head.

"No, I’m not drunk!" Ye Chen gripping her arm.

"Fine, you’re not drunk. Then tell me, what’s really going on, or what exactly do you want to say?" Li Ruo sat on Ye Chen’s lap, letting him bury his head between her breasts. After all, she had been seen by him completely, so a little more intimacy didn’t matter.

"I want to tell you that a long time ago, there were three great Hidden Families in this world," Ye Chen began to narrate, and many times, Li Ruo just expressed skepticism and also amazement. She was shocked by the existence of the three great Hidden Families—what kind of people could control these three families who actually held eighty percent of the world’s wealth.

"Then... why haven’t they approached me to join them?" Li Ruo asked curiously.

"Because the Tianya Group is not big enough!" Ye Chen said with a grin, "The Shanghai Liu Family, the Northern Shaanxi He Family, the Sichuan Tang Family... all fall under the control of the Rothschild family. On the opposite side of these three major families, there is a mysterious religious sect: the Church Court! The Church Court is incredibly powerful, and moreover, its members are widely spread, mainly in Europe. Many religious countries are basically enslaved by the Church Court. They listen to the Church Court’s arrangements and orders, and there had been peace until more than ten years ago when the Church Court started trying to bring the three great Hidden Families under its control..."

Ye Chen’s narration went on, and Li Ruo treated it like a fairy tale. In her view, Ye Chen’s stories were all needless—or perhaps they were just the ramblings of a drunk Ye Chen.

"Alright, my Clan Leader, why don’t you hit the hay early tonight, okay?" Li Ruo said with a smile, planting a kiss on Ye Chen’s lips, "It’s getting late, and we still have to work tomorrow!"

"You... don’t believe what I said?" Ye Chen was taken aback.

"Believe, how could I not believe?" Li Ruo revealed a helpless smile, saying, "I believe you are the Clan Leader of the Rothschild family, and I believe that the Church Court is about to wage a war against the Rothschild family. But what about it? Even if the end of the world arrives, don’t we still have to make the best of every day?"

Ye Chen closed his eyes and let out a sigh, understanding that convincing Li Ruo was now impossible. However, in the next six months, or perhaps a year, there might indeed be an outbreak of an economic crisis, a battle between religious sects and Hidden Families. Sadly, Chaikefu and the Doomsday Family had already pledged allegiance to the Church Court. If he wanted to defeat them, it seemed too much of a challenge. The chances of victory were just too small.

"What about the question I just asked?" Ye Chen opened his eyes, looking earnestly at Li Ruo, "What would you do if one day you couldn’t find me?"

"If one day I can’t find you, I would wait for you in Jianghuai City for a lifetime!" Li Ruo gazed deeply at Ye Chen, saying, "Even if you’re married with children, I’ll still wait for you to come back and tell me you no longer love me!"

"No, you won’t have to wait that long!" Ye Chen held Li Ruo tightly and bit her bud, then said, "I love you, I love you, I will always love you for the rest of my life. Even if I die, even if I’m crippled, I still want to give you a complete love."

"Mm!" Li Ruo bit her red lip as Ye Chen, definitely drunk, bit the most sensitive spot on her body, leaving her unable to move and forced to simply hold Ye Chen’s head, allowing him to have his way further. However, Ye Chen was not drunk; he knew what he should and shouldn’t do. He just lightly teased Li Ruo before laughing and saying, "You go rest!"

"What about you?" Li Ruo was puzzled.

"I plan to grab some supper, then smoke a cigarette before going to sleep!" Ye Chen smiled.

"Mm, I’ll cook supper for you!" After saying this, Li Ruo prepared to head to the kitchen, but Ye Chen stopped her, looking at her, "Let the servants do it. How could you possibly do the cooking?"

"Cooking supper for the one I love is a very happy thing, are you going to stop my happiness?" Li Ruo revealed a smile.

Ye Chen was left speechless, but there was a warm current in his heart. Li Ruo’s smile, Li Ruo’s silhouette, all deeply imprinted in the depths of Ye Chen’s heart. Making Ye Chen’s supposedly unforgettable first love seem insignificant—indeed, Li Ruo’s smiles and words "You can’t stop my happiness!" were more powerful than any deep love from the past.

Li Ruo’s happiness depended on him, but what about his own happiness?

Before long, Li Ruo brought Ye Chen a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice, perfect in colour, fragrance, and taste. Ye Chen practically devoured it. Li Ruo, sitting opposite him, smiled and asked, "How is it, tasty?"

"Do I even need to say it? This is the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten in my life!" Ye Chen nodded eagerly.

"You don’t have to rush; there’s also a soup in the kitchen!" Li Ruo, smiling tenderly, felt happiness at having her cooking skills affirmed by her beloved. Her heart was as sweet as honey.

"It’s so delicious!" Ye Chen didn’t heed Li Ruo’s instruction and continued to wolf down his food. Soon, he had eaten up the late-night meal without leaving a single grain of rice. Li Ruo, holding the plate, expressed her amazement, "This is the first time I’ve seen someone eat so cleanly, not even leaving a single grain of rice!"

"Heh heh!" Ye Chen grinned.
