The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 647: Chapter 628:

At that moment, John was lying on the ground, his face contorted with unbearable pain as Ye Chen’s kicks were by no means light. The first kick landed on John’s chest, which was not a big deal, but the crucial second kick struck right under John’s groin, directly impacting his testicles. Therefore, John’s face turned pale with pain. His entire body curled up on the floor like a cooked shrimp.

"Ye Chen, what happened to him? Is he alright?" Li Ruo was terrified but John was naked, so she didn’t dare to get too close.

"Don’t worry, his balls won’t explode!" Ye Chen responded with a faint smile. He walked straight to the refrigerator, took out some ice cubes from the freezer, and scattered them directly onto John’s crotch, hitting right on the testicles.

Sigh...

John immediately exhaled a turbid breath, clutching the ice cubes and covering his testicles; the pain seemed to have lessened a lot. He then opened his eyes leisurely and looked at Ye Chen timidly, asking, "Who... who are you exactly?"

"Who I am doesn’t matter, what matters is you touched my woman!" Ye Chen said coldly to John.

"Nonsense!" John argued, stating, "Li Ruoke has never mentioned she has a boyfriend!"

"You’re wrong, I am her husband! In English, it’s, you got it?" Ye Chen smirked, causing Li Ruo on the side to almost burst into laughter. Ye Chen had actually translated English using Chinese so amusingly and formally that Li Ruo couldn’t help but laugh out loud. However, in her heart, she was more touched. She was moved that Ye Chen had traveled all the way to New York to find her, and even more touched by the moment of his arrival, as if all the happiness in the world surged towards her, overwhelming her heart with joy.

"You... you better leave, otherwise, I will call the police!" John was now terrified of Ye Chen, this frightening Chinese man who possessed tremendous strength. John didn’t even see how Ye Chen made his move before he felt sharp pains and collapsed.

Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, a tall Chinese girl suddenly pushed the door open. She looked around the messy living room in surprise and at John lying on the floor, and said in shock, "John, what... what happened here?"

"Xiao Hui, you’re back?" Li Ruo hurried forward.

At this time, John played the victim first and said, "Xiao Hui, hurry and kick them out, otherwise I’m calling the police. They are criminals, robbers. If not for my efforts in stopping them, they would have probably taken all our valuables!"

"Xiao Ruo... what... what’s going on?" Xiao Hui looked up and saw Ye Chen, this unfamiliar man in her home.

"Xiao Hui, it’s a misunderstanding!" Li Ruo quickly explained, "This is Ye Chen, the man I’ve told you about so much. I brought him here today, but it seems like John had some issues, so the two had a conflict!"

"No, it’s not like that!" John immediately refuted vehemently, stating, "He’s just a robber!"

"Xiao Hui..."

"Enough!" Xiao Hui suddenly frowned, looking at Li Ruo and said, "Xiao Ruo, to think I treated you as a good friend. Look at what you have done to my place!"

That single statement stopped Li Ruo in her tracks. She realized that she was now unwelcome. It was just as the saying goes in books, the friendship between women is unreliable, while the friendships between men are the most solid.

"Alright, then I’ll leave!" Li Ruo said with a light smile, then went upstairs to get her luggage. She also left ten thousand dollars, saying, "This is compensation for my two months of stay here. I’m leaving, Xiao Hui, take care!"

"Xiao Ruo..." Suddenly, Xiao Hui felt regretful. She hurriedly stuffed the ten thousand dollars back to Li Ruo, saying, "Take the money, I... I know I owe you an apology!"

Instantly, John snatched the money, stating, "This money will pay for my medical treatment, I’m in so much pain!"

John counted the money while checking its authenticity, all the while pretending to be ill. He truly resembled an old man; Li Ruo looked at this scene with a mix of sarcasm and pity. The apartment was left to the John family, and besides that, he and Xiao Hui had no savings. Xiao Hui’s salary was three thousand dollars a month, barely enough for their expenses. John received a few hundred dollars in unemployment benefits each month. Combined, the two barely scraped by. If not for Li Ruo’s help these past months, they would have been in dire straits.

"Actually, there’s something I have to tell you!" Li Ruo had to reveal this truth to Xiao Hui as she was leaving.

"Go ahead!" Xiao Hui said, nodding with tears.

"Break up with him sooner!" Li Ruo said as she looked at Xiao Hui, "He’s not a reliable man at all!"

"I... I understand!" Xiao Hui nodded her head.

Afterward, Ye Chen took Li Ruo’s hand, took Little Yezi, and then left the garden. Xiao Hui stood on the doorstep, watching Li Ruo and Ye Chen leave. She hadn’t spoken to Ye Chen from the start, but from his gaze and overall demeanor, she could tell Ye Chen was no ordinary person.

"Now that I’m homeless, where do you plan to take me?" Li Ruo asked Ye Chen with a smile.

"I’m thinking of staying at the White House for a while!" Ye Chen said, squinting.

"Yeah, right, bragging!" Li Ruo snorted and said, "I might believe you if you said you were taking me to stay in the presidential suite at the New York International Hotel for one night. But taking me to stay at the White House? That’s far too unreliable!"

"Then... how about we make a bet?" Ye Chen said with a smirk.

"Hmm? What should we bet on?!" Li Ruo asked with a laugh.

"What can you put up as your wager?" Ye Chen threw the question back to Li Ruo. Li Ruo gazed innocently up at the sky and after a long while, she said, "If you can take me to the White House, I’ll give you the most precious thing a woman can offer! But what if you can’t do it? What then?"

"If I can’t do it, then I’ll never touch you for the rest of my life!" Ye Chen laughed.

"You jerk, you’re doing this on purpose!" Li Ruo said, blushing, "How about this, if you can’t do it, then you can never let Little Yezi smoke again, you have to make it quit!"

Woof woof...

Little Yezi was very smart and seemed to understand what Li Ruo was saying, so she protested and barked loudly. Li Ruo glared at her and said, "The law doesn’t protect the rights of dogs, so just stay put!"

Woo woo...

Little Yezi let out a dissatisfied whine, she ran to the side and then squatted down. She knew she didn’t have a say in the matter, so she just had to quietly squat there.

Ye Chen immediately nodded and said, "No problem, but New York is so beautiful, why don’t we stay here for a day, and I’ll take you to Washington tomorrow?"

"Um... okay!" Li Ruo pondered briefly.

Thereupon, the two checked into the New York International Hotel, opting for a regular suite instead of the presidential suite. The presidential suite at the New York International Hotel cost about ten thousand dollars a night—a price locals would definitely not choose, only some foreign tourists did, including a group of officials from China who stayed there while "on inspection" in New York.

The room was quite cozy. In the afternoon, the two sat in the hotel’s cafe, sipping coffee and casually talking about some things in Jianghuai City. When Li Ruo heard that Tianya Group was now facing a crisis, her heart couldn’t help but clench.

"How could this happen!" Li Ruo said tremulously, holding a cup of coffee, "Isn’t Zhang Dadan already in jail?"

"Yes, but someone wants to bail him out, and isn’t that just a word away?" Ye Chen said with a faint smile, "It’s a conspiracy from those above us. We can’t control it!"

"So, you’re planning to take all of Heavenly Reversal Gang out?" Li Ruo asked.

"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded.

"What about Tianya Group? What about Si Yang Group?" Li Ruo asked anxiously. Si Yang Group had now merged with Tianya Group. The world is indeed so ridiculous; two opposing companies had now become one, which was both funny and sad.

"Don’t worry, I’ve secured us for now, but how long this stability will last, I’m not sure!" Ye Chen took a sip of coffee.

The pair sat in the cafe until dusk, then walked out onto the streets of New York, where the lights were already on, casting beautiful illuminations across the splendid streets. It’s said that New York is both a heaven and a hell. In Ye Chen’s view, it was a place where heaven and hell coexisted.
