Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The morning light shone through the crack between the thick curtains.
Ye Qingran woke up and turned over with the blanket in her arms.
She was still a little groggy. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before her memory returned little by little. She recalled everything that had happened last night.
Stomachache was common. Chu Yan should not get suspicious, right?
She stood up and brushed her teeth. Then, she went downstairs with her messy hair.
Chu Yan had already gotten up and was eating breakfast at the dining table.
Ye Qingran sat down opposite him and put her head on the table. “Brother, please pretend to be my parent and ask for a leave from the school. I don’t want to go to school today.”
“Still feeling unwell?” Chu Yan’s face was unreadable.
“I’m especially listless. I even feel a little nauseous. I will be extra careful with what I eat in the future.” Ye Qingran lied calmly, trying to explain what had happened last night.
Chu Yan looked up at her, his deep eyes unreadable.
He said slowly, “… drink some warm water first before the breakfast.”
As he spoke, he poured a glass of warm water and placed it in front of her.
Ye Qingran picked it up. She took a sip listlessly and said, “Thank you, brother, for going out to buy medicine for me last night.”
Chu Yan asked casually, “How do you want to thank me?”
Ye Qingran was stunned. She said curiously, “Brother, you really want me to thank you? I thought you would say politely that there’s no need to thank you.”
Chu Yan cut the fried eggs into pieces and placed the plate in front of her. “Do I need to be polite to you?”
“We’re so familiar with each other and there’s really no need to be polite. Then, I’ll have to think about how to thank you.” Ye Qingran’s eyes darted around. Suddenly, she winked at Chu Yan and asked suggestively, “How about giving myself to you?”
“Okay.” Chu Yan did not hesitate at all and accepted immediately.
Ye Qingran was stunned for a moment and then said with a complicated expression, “What did you say? Didn’t you say that you don’t like men?”
Did she turn this wise, self-disciplined, shrewd, and unsmiling man, into a gay?
She chuckled and teased him, “Don’t tell me that you suddenly like men because of me.”
Chu Yan frowned and replied in exasperation, “You think too highly of yourself.”
Ye Qingran smiled cheekily, “Yeah, I do.”
She winked at him with a sly look in her eyes.
In the face of her brazenness, Chu Yan’s lips curled up slightly and he smiled faintly. The handsome man’s smile could melt snow and turn everything else colorless. His gorgeous face exuded a soul-stirring charm.
Looking at such a face was really a pleasure.
Ye Qingran felt that Chu Yan was even more delicious than breakfast.
Chu Yan gestured to the food, “Hurry up and eat. It’s getting cold.”
“I have no appetite now. I’ll eat it later.” Ye Qingran turned her attention to her phone.
The funds under Polaris had been exposed and it caused a uproar. Angry netizens immediately turn it to the No. 1 trending topic.
Now, everyone was boycotting Polaris.
It had been almost three days, and it was still a top trending topic.
Polaris’s stock price had been falling. If there was no way to restore its reputation, Polaris would be over.
As the big boss behind Polaris, Long Junyao’s market value had shrunk by tens of billions of yuan. Many of his cooperation projects had also been put on hold.
Now that he was involved in money laundering, his Dragon Palace would be over, too, if he couldn’t deal with the crisis.
She did not want to eat, so Chu Yan did not make her. He only said, ” Heat it up in the microwave when you want to eat.”
He asked, “Do you know how to use the microwave?”
Ye Qingran nodded. “I do.”
She looked at Chu Yan and asked curiously, “He Cizhou has already started planning. Yesterday, Polaris’s stock price fell by the daily limit, and it will definitely fall by the daily limit today, too. What is Junyao’s plan? Is he going to sell the Dragon Palace?”
Chu Yan replied indifferently, “Of course. With his current situation, the Dragon Palace is a hot potato in his hands.”
Ye Qingran nodded. “Indeed. If the situation continues, the people behind him will be exposed. Abandoning the pawn to protect the commander-in-chief is the way to go. However, he definitely won’t let it go so easily.”
She was telling Chu Yan to be careful.
Chu Yan’s face was as calm as usual.
Ye Qingran thought that he had probably prepared everything long ago, so he wasn’t afraid of Long Junyao’s revenge in the future.
Chu Yan put down the knife and fork.
He said, “The Dragon Palace is also bidding for the real estate project that your Ye family is competing for. They know Ye Corporation’s bidding price.”
Ye Qingran was puzzled. “How did long Junyao know about such a confidential matter?”
Chu Yan said calmly, “Of course, there’s a mole inside the Ye family.”
Ye Qingran frowned. “Then Ye Corporation will will lose this time. But fortunately, Long Junyao is in trouble himself, so he can’t participate in this bid.”
Chu Yan said, “Long Junyao is not the leader of this bid. Even if something happens to the Dragon Palace, they will bid against Ye Corporation.”
Ye Qingran said, “Then I have to make a phone call.”
Chu Yan’s eyes shifted. “Aren’t you fighting with them over the Ye Corporation? If your elder brother lost in the bidding this time, he might lose the right to inherit the company, and you will become the most suitable successor.”
Ye Qingran chuckled. “When did I say that I wanted to be the successor of the Ye Corporation? I hate the business world that looks glorious on the surface in fact is filled with all kinds of schemes and dangers. I also hate going to the company’s meetings every day, looking at the data, and reading all kinds of documents.”
Chu Yan looked at her.
At this moment, Ye Qingran’s eyes were pitch-black and deep, as if they were veiled with a thick layer of fog, making it hard for him to see through.
She was sitting so close, yet, he felt she was far, far away.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Chu Yan stood up. “If you don’t like it, then don’t do it. No one can force you.”
When he walked past her, he gently touched her head. “The bidding will be held at nine o’clock this morning. There should be enough time to inform them now.”
Ye Qingran looked at the time. “Then I have to hurry.”
She quickly pulled up her contact list and dialed Ye Hanzhi’s number.
It rang for a long time before the call was answered. “What’s up?”
Ye Qingran did not waste any time and said directly, “I know that you have a bidding meeting in the morning. Your competitor knows your bidding price. If you want to win, hurry up and change it.”
Ye Hanzhi was surprised. “How did you know that?”
“Don’t ask how I know it. Believe me or not, it’s up to you.”
Then she hung up.
Ye Hanzhi had a suspicious nature and his methods were terrifying. No matter he believed her or not, he would change the bidding price just in case.
