178: Chapter 170 Chapter 167: Kidnap the Beauty?!
Having said that, Zhang Bufen imdiately turned his head and walked away.
When Zhang Bufen left, he glared fiercely at Ye Chen, with such a venomous look that it was truly chilling to the bone, and everyone knew that Zhang Bufen would never give up on taking revenge on Ye Chen.
Today, Ye Chen had made him so embarrassed, he was determined to retaliate fully.
With Zhang Bufen gone, what was originally a pleasant birthday party beca very oppressive.
Elder Dian chuckled and said, “The affairs of you young people are indeed quite complex.
But no matter, we must continue our birthday party today, and now please allow our birthday star to say a few words!”
Applause burst forth…
Everyone clapped their hands in succession.
Dian Ling blushed and stood before the crowd.
The lights in the hall shone on Dian Ling, and she said with a gentle smile, “I hope to find a love of my own within this birth year of mine.
I also hope that my grandfather can live to be a hundred and five years old.
And I wish my dad’s business to flourish more and more…”
While Dian Ling was speaking, Li Ruo quietly approached from behind.
She stood behind Ye Chen and pinched hard on his soft flesh.
Ye Chen instantly inhaled a breath of cold air, the movent causing a bone-piercing pain to show on his face.
Holding the sore spot, he grimaced and said, “Mr…
Mr.
Li!”
“Hmph, yesterday it was Xiao Ruo, today it’s Mr.
Li!” Li Ruo watched Ye Chen angrily and said, “Have you actually beco Dian Ling’s boyfriend?”
“I…
I haven’t!” Ye Chen imdiately shook his head and said, “Today’s situation is almost identical to yours.
I’m just a fake boyfriend, here to ward off the mosquitoes and flies for Dian Ling.
Sigh, I didn’t expect to get myself into trouble.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have co!”
“Hmph, good that you know!” Li Ruo snorted lightly and a smile crept onto her face.
She was extrely happy with Ye Chen’s reply, at least he was not truly Dian Ling’s boyfriend.
This ant that everything Ye Chen said while saving her on Xiangming Mountain was true.
Consequently, a small wave of smug satisfaction surged in Li Ruo’s heart.
After Dian Ling had finished speaking, the dance party at the event began.
As was customary, it was the birthday star’s privilege to invite the gentleman she liked most to dance with her.
As everyone had guessed, Dian Ling invited Mr.
Dian.
Elder Dian chuckled and said, “Ha-ha, I’m old, I can’t keep up anymore, why don’t you ask Ye Chen?”
“Hmph, I wouldn’t ask him, he’s a ladies’ man!” Dian Ling pouted and, supporting her grandfather, said, “It’s best to dance with grandfather.
In grandfather’s heart, Lingling is the most important!”
The lights imdiately switched to the dance floor center, and everyone found their dance partners to dance amidst the dance floor.
However, three individuals stood motionless: Li Ruo, Ye Chen, Zhang Yantong.
Their hearts were all torn with conflict.
Li Ruo wanted to dance with Ye Chen, and Zhang Yantong likewise wanted to dance with Ye Chen.
And Ye Chen, the person involved, was well aware of the two won’s inner thoughts, which is why he had to quickly find an exit strategy to break the current status quo.
This situation was extrely awkward and difficult for Ye Chen.
His eyes rolled about in thought, and he quickly ca up with an age-old thod of escape.
Ye Chen imdiately clutched his stomach and said, “Ouch, I must have eaten sothing unclean this afternoon, feeling like diarrhea coming on.
No, no, I have to rush to the toilet!”
Just as Ye Chen was about to slip away, Li Ruo imdiately blocked his path, her voice cold as she said, “Hmph, you’re not going anywhere.”
“Mr.
Li…
what, what are you going to do!” Ye Chen was taken aback and imdiately clutched his groin, saying, “I don’t have a single penny on , you’re not thinking of robbing , are you?”
“No money, huh?!” Li Ruo curled up her lips with a smile.
“Could it be…
you’re plotting to take advantage of ?!” Ye Chen was stunned.
“Idiot!” Li Ruo instantly beca angry and said, “As if I would rob you of that.”
“Heh heh, a penniless and charmless guy; then just let go!” Ye Chen grinned, about to take his chance to escape again when Li Ruo stopped him once more, her beautiful eyes wide as she said, “You can’t go.
Today, you have to dance with us first, otherwise, you’re not allowed to leave!”
“That’s right!” Zhang Yantong also stepped forward.
Ye Chen’s mind beca instantly muddled.
Shit, what’s happening to this world?
Why are the beauties always flocking to ?
Could it be that I’m the world’s most handso man?
Not at all!
Could it be that I’m the world’s richest man?
Also not!
But then, why am I surrounded and besieged by so many stunning beauties?
Ye Chen was utterly frustrated, his head aching as he said, “There’s only one Ye Chen, but there are two of you; how am I supposed to dance?”
“You calling a pighead?” Li Ruo crossed her arms over her chest, the V-neck of her gown revealing a generous cleavage that imdiately captured Ye Chen’s wavering gaze.
Li Ruo’s fullness was like two magnets, and Ye Chen’s eyes were like they were made of iron.
Li Ruo huffed lightly and said, “First, you dance with Tongtong, then with !”
“Ah?!” Zhang Yantong, standing aside, was taken aback.
She hadn’t expected Li Ruo to be so magnanimous.
She had been holding her breath, ready to compete with Li Ruo, but Li Ruo’s strategic retreat had forced Zhang Yantong into a corner.
Zhang Yantong hurriedly waved her hands and said, “Sister Li Ruo, you go first!”
“Well…
if you insist,” Li Ruo said with a mischievous smile, glancing at Zhang Yantong, and then elegantly took Ye Chen’s hand and shalessly pulled him in close.
Zhang Yantong, witnessing the scene, fud silently, sitting aside and downing half a glass of red wine in one go.
Several young masters eyed Zhang Yantong, looking to invite her for a dance, but all were resolutely rejected by her.
“After the banquet tonight, co with to Xiangming Mountain!” Li Ruo said, holding Ye Chen’s hand, while he unabashedly wrapped an arm around her slender waist, their bellies pressing tightly together.
Li Ruo tried to keep a distance from Ye Chen, but the darned man insisted on holding her close, which made Li Ruo quite embarrassed.
“What are we going to do there?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“What else but race cars!” Li Ruo huffed lightly and excitedly said, “The race was postponed until today, and since you didn’t make it last ti, this ti you can help get first place!”
Watching Li Ruo’s spirited deanor, Ye Chen couldn’t help but be impressed.
Li Ruo truly was an exceptional woman, with the cuteness of an elf, the beauty of an angel, and a devilish figure.
No wonder everyone in Jianghuai City was enamored by her.
Regardless of age or gender, Li Ruo was everyone’s idol.
“You really are busy!” Ye Chen said with a snort, “You’re running around like mad with Tianya Group’s work, yet you still have ti to think about racing cars.”
“It’s because I have you to help ,” Li Ruo pouted with her red lips, hardly distinguishable from a sulking girl.
Ye Chen had to grimace and said, “My dear, I’m not even sure how long I can stay in Jianghuai City.
What if one day I leave?”
“Hmph, without my permission, how can you leave?” Li Ruo snorted, waving her fist and said, “You’ve signed a ‘slave contract’ with .
If you dare leave, see how I’ll deal with you!”
Ye Chen was suddenly taken aback, realizing this young lady had a streak of violence in her bones.
When the dance ended, before Ye Chen could start dancing with Zhang Yantong, Elder Dian imdiately sent soone to call Ye Chen up to the lounge.
Dian Ling whispered in his ear, “Ye Chen, my grandfather wants to see you.
Hurry up and be careful, he has quite the temper!”
“What does Elder Dian want with ?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“How would I know, maybe he’s set his sights on you as his grandson-in-law!” Dian Ling said with a shy smile, making Li Ruo and Zhang Yantong’s faces darken suddenly.
Zhang Yantong huffed and said, “Lingling, I’ve never seen anyone as shaless as you!”
“Tongtong, how am I shaless?
I’m just competing fairly!” Dian Ling imdiately snapped back.
Ye Chen knew the three won were far from done with their quarrel, so he quickly made his way upstairs.
Otherwise, he would definitely beco the target of their verbal onslaught.
With the help of a waiter, Ye Chen finally reached Elder Dian’s room.
The room, arranged according to Elder Dian’s preferences, felt imdiately solemn and dignified with its dark carpet.
The furniture around was almost entirely designed in traditional Chinese style.
The room was filled with a blend of Western and Eastern elents.
With his back to Ye Chen, Elder Dian lay in an armchair, his eyes half-closed, apparently sleeping but in fact, just resting with his eyes shut.
“Elder Dian!” Ye Chen called out hastily.
“Hmm?
Ye Chen, you’re here!” Elder Dian slowly rose from the armchair, looking at Ye Chen with a warm smile.
“Co here, let make you a pot of tea.”
Experts in the art of tea often prefer ‘making’ tea rather than ‘brewing’ it, like Dian Ling’s diocre thod.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with the term, but Elder Dian’s way of making tea sounded softer.
Ye Chen quickly gestured with his hand, saying, “No, that would be too much trouble!”
“Heh heh, making tea is one of my hobbies, and sharing the tea I make with others is a pleasure!” Elder Dian chuckled, then moved towards the tea set.
Sitting down, he smiled helplessly, “It’s a pity that such an exquisite Da Hong Pao has to be brewed with water from this electric kettle, feels a bit like a waste.
But no matter, I’ll do my best to bring out the flavor of the Da Hong Pao in the water.”
