The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 648 - 629:

Chapter 648: Chapter 629:

Beautiful streets, bustling scenery, advanced technology provided too much convenience. Similarly, in this bustling city, a high crime rate and tremendous work pressure tormented everyone here all the time. Some said if you want to go to heaven, go to New York; others said if you want to go to hell, go to New York too!

The two walked on the street where luxury brands, considered extravagances back in China, were piled up on the ground like street vendor goods, displaying clearance sale signs. Li Ruo laughed, "Back home, so many people scrimp and save for a Louis Vuitton bag, even going as far as selling their organs. Look here, it’s piled up like trash. It’s cheap, but still, no one buys it!"

"Hehe, different places, huh!" Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, "These trashy things might even be made back in China!"

At Old Broadway and Manha Mall, many items considered luxury in China were directly piled up at the storefronts for clearance, but no one showed any interest. However, these designer bags, only costing a little over a hundred or even tens of US Dollars in the United States, would turn into thousands of RMB in China, and still, hordes of people would rush to purchase them. It’s really hard to understand that mindset.

The two roamed around New York, bought some items, and spent over ten thousand US Dollars, but these items could probably cost hundreds of thousands if taken back to China. It’s kind of a luxury, I guess.

The next day.

When sunlight streamed through the window, Li Ruo had already opened her eyes. She lay quietly in the white covers, watching Ye Chen deep in sleep, feeling utterly blissful. However, thinking about last night’s intimacy, Li Ruo felt her cheeks flush red; last night, Ye Chen had held her hand guiding him, and after a few experiences, Li Ruo did quite well.

Thinking back to last night’s romance made Li Ruo’s cheeks grow even redder.

"Are you awake?" Ye Chen opened his eyes.

"Ah. You’re awake too?" Li Ruo exclaimed, quickly smiling at Ye Chen, "I... I’m going to wash up, you should get up quickly too!"

Li Ruo hurried into the bathroom, and Ye Chen sat up, then watching Li Ruo’s hastening figure, a smile formed on his lips. He knew she must be recalling the embarrassing scenes from last night.

The two got ready and then went to have breakfast. American breakfast was okay at first, but not after having it too many times.

"Ye Chen, your phone is ringing!" Li Ruo reminded him.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded and immediately went aside to answer the call. Li Ruo curiously watched Ye Chen, who was speaking fluent and authentic American English. However, recalling that Ye Chen had mentioned he knew English during his job interview, she wasn’t curious anymore.

After finishing the call and returning to his seat, Li Ruo curiously asked, "Who was that?"

"Oh, a friend!" Ye Chen didn’t specify who it was, thinking if he told Li Ruo it was Obama, would she believe him? She’d definitely accuse him of lying and pursue the matter to the end. Rather than getting entangled in explanation, it was simpler to say it was a friend.

After breakfast, Ye Chen said with a smile, "Let’s pack up and prepare to head to Washington."

"Are you... really going to take me to stay at the White House?" Li Ruo asked curiously.

"Of course!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "I want to make sure you spend the most perfect night there!"

"Humph, let’s see if you’re capable of that!" Li Ruo huffed and then followed Ye Chen upstairs. The two packed up and then, carrying their luggage, left the hotel and took a cab straight to the airport, flying to Washington.

Li Ruo was curious all the way, wondering if Ye Chen really had the capability to stay at the White House. If they really did, was she really going to give him her first night? Thinking about this, Li Ruo’s cheeks turned slightly red. However, she soon convinced herself, assuming she would marry him in the future, sooner or later didn’t make much difference. Thus, Li Ruo relaxed quite a bit.

Coming out of Washington Airport, the two hailed a taxi.

"Are you really taking me to the White House?" Li Ruo looked at Ye Chen skeptically, as the White House seemed too far-fetched to her; not only foreigners, even locals couldn’t just stay overnight at the White House. It was only open to the public at fixed times for visits, and typically off-limits any other time. After all, the White House is where the highest leader of the United States and his family live.

"Of course!" Ye Chen nodded.

Although the time spent on the plane wasn’t much, after all the hustling, it was already 2 p.m. by the time they arrived at the White House. Li Ruo was a bit tired already. Ye Chen, holding her hand, stood at the entrance of the White House and said, "Tonight, we are staying here!"

"Really?" Li Ruo still couldn’t quite believe it, she looked at Ye Chen and asked, "How do we get in?"

"Hehe, don’t worry, someone will come to pick us up soon!" Ye Chen smiled lightly. Li Ruo felt somewhat incredulous. If it had been someone else, they might have turned around and left, but this was Ye Chen, so Li Ruo harbored no doubts. She carried her luggage, brought Little Yezi, and quietly waited at the entrance with Ye Chen.

Soon, an old man who looked like a butler came out from the main gate. He walked towards Ye Chen and Li Ruo with a beaming smile.

"Mr. Ye, sorry to keep you waiting. Please follow me!" The old butler quickly went forward to help Li Ruo with her luggage.

"Oh, thank you, but I’ll carry it myself!" Li Ruo hurriedly waved her hand, not wanting to impose on such an elderly person. However, the old butler didn’t insist and gestured for them to follow.

Ye Chen took the lead and walked inside, and Li Ruo quickly followed. She hurried closer to Ye Chen and asked, "How did you do it? And how can you enter the White House, why is that old butler so warm towards you?"

"If I told you that Obama invited me, would you believe it?" Ye Chen revealed a mysterious smile.

"I wouldn’t believe it even if I were beaten to death!" Li Ruo immediately shook her head. Obama was such a revered figure, such a top-notch personality, how could he possibly invite a Chinese from thousands of miles away to the White House?

"Hehe, everything will be revealed soon!" Ye Chen smiled faintly.

Under the old butler’s guidance, Ye Chen and Li Ruo walked through the vast garden, passed a small horse-riding arena, and then entered the White House building, walking all the way to the dining hall. Li Ruo took the chance to look around and absorb everything. It was hard to come by such an opportunity, how could she not take a serious look? However, she still didn’t understand why Ye Chen could enter this place.

"Mr. Ye, please follow me!" the old butler reminded again, then smilingly said, "The President knows you haven’t had lunch, so he’s waiting to have lunch with you in the dining room!"

"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded.

However, Li Ruo was stunned, as she clearly heard the old butler say ’Mr. President!’ Could it really be Obama?! Li Ruo’s heart thumped wildly. They say that Obama is very handsome, very mature, very stable. Oh, my God, am I really going to meet Obama?

Li Ruo was somewhat incredulous. Obama was such a top-tier leader — how could a commoner like her just meet him? She was practically dragged into the dining room by Ye Chen, where Obama’s family, including Mrs. Michelle and their two children, were present. The two children were laughing and talking, with Mrs. Michelle playing with them. Meanwhile, the esteemed President himself stood by the window, arms crossed, eyes gazing into the distance.

"Mr. President, Mr. Ye Chen has arrived!" the old butler announced respectfully.

"Uh-huh!" Obama nodded, turned around to look at Ye Chen, and with a smile, asked, "Mr. Ye, is this your wife?"

"Uh... yes!" Ye Chen nodded.

"Oh, she’s beautiful!" Mrs. Michelle exclaimed, rushing towards Li Ruo, smiling, "Lady Ye, I’m Michelle, nice to meet you!"

Li Ruo stood there dumbfounded, her mind and thoughts completely blank, she didn’t respond even as Michelle greeted her. Ye Chen wrapped his arm around Li Ruo and said, "Mr. President, Mrs. Michelle, my apologies. It’s her first visit to the White House, and meeting such an iconic figure as yourself has left her a bit overwhelmed. I hope you’re not upset!"

"Why should I be upset!" Obama shrugged.

"Mr. President, Mrs. Michelle, it’s such a joy to meet you!" Li Ruo finally recovered, she hurriedly bowed slightly towards them, maintaining her politeness and dignity. Michelle took Li Ruo aside for a chat. Michelle is President Obama’s most capable assistant, possessing brilliant wisdom and also serving as an invaluable aide in his work.
