Mrs. Chen and Chen Qingqing brought the dishes to the table and invited Ye Chen over.
"Ye Chen, have a sip of soup first." Mrs. Chen said while scooping a bowl of soup and placing it in front of Ye Chen.
As Ye Chen picked up the bowl, Chen QingqingРІР‚в„ўs expression changed.
Ye Chen activated his "Mind Reading Skill" and got some information from Mrs. Chen and Chen Qingqing.
Mrs. Chen: "Once you drink this bowl of soup, it will be real between you and Qingqing. I canРІР‚в„ўt let such a good son-in-law slip away."
Chen Qingqing: "Ye Chen, IРІР‚в„ўm sorry, this is all my momРІР‚в„ўs idea, but I do like you a lot."
It was obviously a trap, and since Ye Chen knew, he definitely couldnРІР‚в„ўt just sit there waiting.
His eyes rolled, and a plan was already forming in his mind, the best strategy is to flee.
"Auntie, I suddenly remembered an important matter, I have a meeting with President Zhou tonight about a business deal—it’s a big project. But it doesn’t matter, your hospitality is more important than making money." Ye Chen said with a smile.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly advised, "Ye Chen, you should go and take care of business. You can eat my cooking any time, business is important."
"It wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be appropriate. You worked so hard to make this big feast." Ye Chen said pretending to be regretful.
"DonРІР‚в„ўt worry, donРІР‚в„ўt worry, Qingqing and I will eat. Today, we only had these ingredients at home and made something casual. Next time, IРІР‚в„ўll prepare something more sumptuous. You can try my cooking then." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
Young people should prioritize their careers, and she thought to herself that Ye Chen, the good son-in-law, wouldn’t escape—it was only a matter of time.
"Alright then, Auntie, you all enjoy, IРІР‚в„ўll go and talk business." Ye Chen said with a helpless expression.
"Go on, go on, Ye Chen, donРІР‚в„ўt just focus on business, make sure you eat something too." Mrs. Chen said with concern.
"Okay, donРІР‚в„ўt worry." Ye Chen stood up and walked out.
Mrs. Chen only returned to the room after watching Ye Chen enter the elevator. She looked at Chen Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, Ye Chen left and you didnРІР‚в„ўt even see him off, you really donРІР‚в„ўt know how to do things."
"Mom, why do you always talk to me like that?" Chen Qingqing pouted and said.
"A man as outstanding as Ye Chen is bound to have many women around him, yet you donРІР‚в„ўt understand anything. How can you compete with those women?" Mrs. Chen said with a sigh of disappointment.
"Mom, the man I like can only have me by his side and in his heart, no other women." Chen Qingqing said with a serious expression.
"Qingqing, nowadays lots of young women surround capable men, hoping for an easy life. This is the harsh reality; you have to be more mindful." Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at her daughter and said.
She continued, "If your dad were capable, I wouldnРІР‚в„ўt mind him having women around."
"Mom, what kind of talk is that?" Chen Qingqing said in disagreement.
"Daughter, itРІР‚в„ўs not that mom wants to say this, but to handle men you have to be proactive, yet not hold them too tightly." Mrs. Chen said with heartfelt advice.
"IРІР‚в„ўm full; IРІР‚в„ўm going back to my room to read." Chen Qingqing didnРІР‚в„ўt want to listen to her motherРІР‚в„ўs unreasonable theories anymore.
"You child, mom said so much and itРІР‚в„ўs all for your good, yet you donРІР‚в„ўt appreciate it, as stubborn as your father." Mrs. Chen said irritably.
Chen Qingqing ignored her mother and returned to her room, took out a book, and aimlessly flipped through it, her thoughts entirely about Ye Chen.
Her motherРІР‚в„ўs words stung her; although she knew an outstanding man like Ye Chen would have many women around him, she didnРІР‚в„ўt want to accept it.
She approached love with single-minded devotion and hoped the person she loved would be equally devoted to her.
Seeing her daughter return to her room, Mrs. Chen sat at the dining table mumbling to herself, "This silly girl Qingqing, itРІР‚в„ўs hopeless to rely on her. To catch this good son-in-law, IРІР‚в„ўll have to take action."
Ye Chen walked out the building, took a deep breath, thinking that was really close, almost landed in trouble.
If it werenРІР‚в„ўt for his mind reading skill and quick thinking, the consequences could have been unimaginable, possibly facing a forced marriage situation.
Gathering himself, Ye Chen went to the Lykan, got in, started the car, and quickly left Wanda Mansion.
On the way, he dialed Liu TianРІР‚в„ўs number: "Tian Tian, are you off work? IРІР‚в„ўm coming to pick you up now."
"I still have a bit of work, youРІР‚в„ўll likely arrive and IРІР‚в„ўll be done. See you downstairs shortly." Liu Tian said with a smile.
"Alright, see you soon." Ye Chen said, hung up, and headed towards Xingmei International.
After half an hour of driving, the car stopped at the entrance of Xingmei International Building.
It was quitting time; many beauties with long legs and stockings walked out of the building.
Ye Chen leaned against the car, admiring the scenery before him; itРІР‚в„ўs free, might as well enjoy it.
Liu Tian also came out, and it must be said those beauties were instantly overshadowed by her.
Seeing Ye Chen and the sports car, the beauties started discussing.
"Look, this guy is so handsome, is he a newly signed male star?"
"I donРІР‚в„ўt think so, heРІР‚в„ўs probably here to pick up his girlfriend."
"So envious, whoРІР‚в„ўs the girl? If I had such a boyfriend, itРІР‚в„ўd be wonderful."
"I think I saw this guy with Sister Tian at noon."
"Seems like heРІР‚в„ўs here to pick Sister Tian up. Look at that sports car, clearly a rich guy, IРІР‚в„ўm a bit jealous of Sister Tian."
"You canРІР‚в„ўt compare to Sister Tian, and itРІР‚в„ўs not just you, none of us can."
Liu Tian ignored their discussions and went straight to Ye Chen, saying, "So many beauties, couldnРІР‚в„ўt take your eyes off them?"
As she walked through the crowd earlier, she saw Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs eyes wandering among the beauties.
Although she knew these girls wouldnРІР‚в„ўt catch Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs interest, Liu Tian still couldnРІР‚в„ўt help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
"Who said? I only see one beauty, right in front of me." Ye Chen, aware of Liu TianРІР‚в„ўs jealousy, quickly said to win her over.
After all, Liu Tian was going to accompany him to the gathering; if he annoyed her, where would he find another partner?
"I like hearing those words." Liu Tian said with a smile.
"Beauty, get in the car." Ye Chen said with a smile.
Liu Tian didnРІР‚в„ўt get in the car but furrowed her eyebrows.
Seeing Liu Tian hesitate, Ye Chen asked, "WhatРІР‚в„ўs wrong?"
"ShouldnРІР‚в„ўt I change my outfit before accompanying you to the gathering?" Liu Tian asked Ye Chen.
"No need, your outfit is totally great, I think you look good in anything you wear." Ye Chen said with a smile.
Standing before him, Liu Tian had a delicate light makeup on, her hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a royal blue dress with black lace high heels, exuding a noble and elegant aura.
"Alright then." Liu Tian got into the car.
Ye Chen drove the Lykan, taking Liu Tian towards the hotel where the gathering was held.
