Capítulo 1026: Chapter 996: Seven Years of Waiting
Chapter 996:
Unknowingly, seven years had passed, and Ye Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt. This guilt stemd from his apologies to Li Ruo, Zhang Yantong, Dian Ling, and Liu Momo. He had delayed the youth of so many won for his so-called career. They had silently dedicated their youth to him, but what about him? He never gave them any promises.
“Momo!” Ye Chen sighed and then asked, “Have you found soone you like?”
“Ah?” Liu Momo paused, then suddenly laughed, “Of course I have, it’s you, Brother Chen. Brother Chen, I will always wait for you. Even when I grow old, I will wait for you; until black hair turns white, until a pretty face turns plain. Until the end of ti, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble!”
“Fool!” A warm current suddenly flowed through Ye Chen’s heart. This sentence had deeply touched the soft spot in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, “Momo, I will definitely give you an explanation. Wait for !”
“Brother Chen, I love you!” Liu Momo said excitedly.
“Mm, Brother Chen loves you too!” Ye Chen imdiately nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen imdiately called Li Ruo, who was busy on Wall Street. Receiving Ye Chen’s call, Li Ruo suddenly beca exceptionally calm. She composed her emotions and then said, “Ye Chen, why did you suddenly think of calling ?”
“What do you think?” Ye Chen chuckled, “I’m calling today to tell you sothing.”
“What is it?” Li Ruo asked, puzzled.
“I want to tell you the most important thing in the world, sothing that concerns our future!” Ye Chen suddenly showed a very serious expression.
“What?” Li Ruo’s heart suddenly lifted. She thought Ye Chen was going to say sothing important, could sothing have happened to Ye Chen? Li Ruo suddenly beca very uneasy. She anxiously asked, “Ye Chen, hurry up and say it!”
“Xiao Ruo. I love you. I believe there’s nothing more important in this world than that I love you!” Ye Chen gently revealed his deepest feelings. He had to tell Li Ruo that he loved her deeply. Unknowingly, seven years had passed, and Li Ruo went from being 23 and youthful to crossing the line into her thirties. While he could afford the delay, she couldn’t.
“I love you too!” Hearing Ye Chen’s heartfelt confession, Li Ruo suddenly felt deeply moved. Warm currents filled her heart, nourished by the positive energy Ye Chen gave her. It let her forget the pain of her busy life recently and eased her longing for Ye Chen during this ti.
The two talked for a while before hanging up. Afterward, Ye Chen called Dian Ling and Zhang Yantong. These two won, receiving Ye Chen’s call, were also very moved. They both expressed their willingness to wait for Ye Chen, and their previous exhaustion faded away completely.
On the sa day, Ye Chen took a flight to Hong Kong and then transferred to a flight to Tongzhou City, which was very close to Hong Kong. It was so close that in the blink of an eye, the plane landed outside Tongzhou City’s airport.
Arriving in Tongzhou City, it was already the next day.
Ye Chen walked out of the airport, and Zhang Lang imdiately greeted him outside the airport, saying, “Brother Chen, you finally arrived?”
“Who asked you to pick up?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“It was Zhi Xiao who asked to pick you up!” Zhang Lang quickly said.
“Alright, let’s go then!” Ye Chen nodded. After returning to headquarters, he freshened up briefly and then had the driver take him to the technology developnt zone in Tongzhou City. Liu Momo worked there. Tongzhou City’s technology developnt zone was one of the city’s economic zones.
Ye Chen tidied his appearance, bought a bouquet of flowers from a flower shop, and headed straight to Liu Momo’s company. Ye Chen arrived at the technology developnt zone at four in the afternoon, and Liu Momo finished work around five-thirty, so Ye Chen had to wait an hour and a half.
The security guard at the company’s entrance noticed sothing surprising. Starting from four o’clock, there was a young man in a black suit standing motionless at the entrance for an hour and a half. At first, the guard felt competitive and decided to stand beside Ye Chen, thinking how could he lose to anyone else in a military stance, being soone who ca out of the army?
Though the guard was competitive, his heart couldn’t help but acknowledge it. While Ye Chen didn’t move an inch, the guard was scratching his ears and cheeks. Having been retired for so long, he couldn’t match Ye Chen. After standing for half an hour, he couldn’t take it anymore and approached Ye Chen, saying, “Brother, you’re from the army, right?”
“Mm!” Ye Chen nodded.
“Which unit?” The guard quickly offered Ye Chen a cigarette, but Ye Chen remained still and said, “If I rember correctly, a military man’s unit number must be kept confidential!”
“Uh…” The guard was stunned, then awkwardly laughed and said, “Yes, yes, I was presumptuous.”
The guard saw Ye Chen not responding to him, so he tactfully left. However, he was truly impressed by Ye Chen’s abilities, even as a military man. Until Liu Momo ca out from work and saw Ye Chen standing straight at the company’s entrance, she imdiately smiled with delight and said, “Brother Chen, you… you ca back?”
“Mm. After receiving your call yesterday, I rushed back!” Ye Chen quickly said.
“Really?” Liu Momo excitedly threw herself into Ye Chen’s arms, and the nearby guard, seeing that Ye Chen had been waiting for Liu Momo, a famous beauty in the company, said softly, “This young man is impressive, standing still here for an hour and a half waiting for you!”
“Brother Chen, is that true?” Liu Momo was taken aback.
“Mm!” Ye Chen nodded, saying, “This is my apology for the past seven years to Momo!”
“Brother Chen!” Liu Momo imdiately started crying, throwing herself into Ye Chen’s embrace and crying heartily. She had waited too long for this day. All along, Ye Chen had been sowhat elusive to her, even intangible. She had even thought of giving up many tis, but in the end, she chose not to give up and continued to persevere.
With just one call of “Brother Chen,” Liu Momo released all her longing and reluctance. In the end, she threw herself into Ye Chen’s arms, and ultimately entered Ye Chen’s life circle. Hearing Liu Momo’s cries, Ye Chen felt even more guilty. How much courage and faith did it take for a girl in her pri to wait for him for seven years?
Ye Chen admitted to himself that he couldn’t do it, yet he didn’t understand how Liu Momo managed it. At this mont, his feelings were instantly elevated. His brotherly feelings for Liu Momo imdiately advanced to love. This love was true love, genuine emotion.
After Liu Momo had a good cry, Ye Chen wiped her tears and then said with a smile, “Look at you, crying your face into a ss. No more crying, or you won’t look pretty anymore!”
“Mm, no more crying!” Liu Momo nodded, “Except for when I miss Brother Chen, I never cry. Brother Chen, it’s all your fault. You’re my tear trigger, and just a slight touch will make cry!”
“Yes, yes, it’s Brother Chen’s fault, all because of Brother Chen!” Ye Chen laughed, “Then Brother Chen apologizes to Momo!”
“That’s not enough; how can you get away so easily?” Liu Momo pouted, “Brother Chen, you have to treat to dinner today.”
“Sure, that’s easy!” Ye Chen grinned.
After that, the two of them got into the Infiniti and headed to a very stylish café in Tongzhou City. The café was located in Tongzhou City’s North District, close to the ho of Ye Chen and Zhang Yantong, just near that neighborhood. Ye Chen wondered if he should go and see Zhang Yantong, considering he ca all the way from Canada.
Without much thought, they soon arrived at the café. The café’s ambiance was quite nice, with dim lighting and comfortable sofas in front of each booth. Each booth was draped with bead curtains, so passing people couldn’t see the figures inside the booths or hear their conversations. However, those inside could clearly see the outside traffic.
“Two of you, what would you like to order?” The waiter imdiately approached.
“Two cups of coffee, and two servings of French steak and foie gras!” Ye Chen quickly said.
“Okay!” The waiter nodded with a smile.
“Brother Chen, you’re not gentlemanly at all!” Liu Momo pouted, looking askance at Ye Chen, “As a gentleman, you should let the lady order first, then yourself. But you? Not only did you order for yourself first, but you also ordered for . Humph!”
“Uh…” Ye Chen paused. He had never noticed this issue before. Whether it was with Li Ruo, Zhang Yantong, or Dian Ling, he always made the decisions alone. Either he decided what to eat, or Li Ruo or others ordered. Ye Chen always thought that having so many ceremonies for a al seed cumberso. He smiled softly and said, “Momo, we’re so familiar, why bother with so many formalities?”
“That’s true!” Liu Momo thought for a mont and felt Ye Chen made sense.
“Then… should Brother Chen change?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.
