Chapter 147: Special Reward
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Ruoxue’s mother had investigated Ye Chen’s past, and knew that he had been nothing special back then. However, that five-year blank period seemed to have changed everything.
“You came to me just to say these words?”
Ye Chen said calmly, “If there’s nothing else, then I’m leaving.”
Ye Chen was about to get up when she continued, “Were you aware that Ruoxue has a marriage arrangement with the Qin family?”
Ye Chen’s body froze and he sat back down.
“Marriage arrangement? Why haven’t 1 heard Ruoxue mention it before?”
“This was decided a long time ago. If a major family wants to survive and ensure its peace and stability, they have to rely on martial strength. This is the weakness of the Xia family.”
“Of course, the Xia family has a few experts to hold down the fort, but it is far from enough!”
“Relying on the Qin family is the only way the Xia family can survive. These few years, Xia Ruoxue’s father had been looking for a marriage alliance with a martial arts family, but it never came to fruition until the Qin family appeared.”
“This marriage alliance proposal was initiated by the Qin family, which surprised us. There are still a few months left until the marriage alliance is to be fulfilled.”
“Do you know why I’m telling you this?” Xia Ruoxue’s mother stared at Ye Chen with a burning gaze.
Ye Chen did not say anything. His eyes were cold, like a bottomless abyss.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother sighed and said seriously, “I know that you might hate me. I did do some detestable things, but I did all of this for the Xia family and for Ruoxue. Any girl born in a major family cannot choose their marriage partners. It was the same for me. 1 met Xia Ruoxue’s father because of a marriage alliance.”
Ye Chen still did not speak. He knew very well that what she really wanted to say was yet to come.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother had been paying attention to Ye Chen’s reaction. However, other than a hint of killing intent in the beginning, Ye Chen remained completely calm.
She bit her lips and said seriously, “Ye Chen, I hope that you can withdraw from Xia Ruoxue’s life. You’ve offended the Qin family, so they’ll definitely take revenge on you! Although you have Wu Xiangming behind you, he definitely can’t represent the Wu family now! The Zhou family can’t help you either. You’re completely isolated now. How can you fight alone?”
“I’m saying this for your own good. Before the news reaches the Qin family, leave River City quickly and go to a place where no one can find you. This is your only chance of survival!”
Xia Ruoxue’s mother was almost shouting near the end of her sentence.
Silence returned to the room.
There was only the sound of Xia Ruoxue’s mother’s agitated breathing.
“Is the Qin family very powerful?” Ye Chen suddenly asked.
“Yes, it is one of the top martial arts families. The Wu family is no match for the Qin family,” she replied.
“Got it,” Ye Chen stood up and said. Then, he walked out.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother was a little stunned. They had not even finished talking, so why was this guy leaving?
She quickly said, “Ye Chen, when do you plan to leave River City? 1 can arrange a private jet for you.”
Ye Chen stopped and did not turn around. Instead, he snorted coldly and released an overwhelming aura.
“Although the world is vast, no one is qualified to make me retreat! If some people dare to seek death, 1 don’t mind uprooting them!”
The door closed, as Xia Ruoxue’s mother was left trembling in the room.
She stared at the door, thinking about something.
On the top floor of the Tomson Condominiums.
Ye Chen and Sun Yi returned home. Xia Ruoxue had planned to come over today, but as her grandmother was leaving tomorrow, she decided to spend another night with her.
After all, the time she could spend with her would only decrease.
From, it could be seen that Xia Ruoxue was quite filial.
As soon as Ye Chen turned on the television in the living room, Sun Yi sat down beside him.
“Ye Chen, tell me honestly. When Ruoxue kissed you just now, were you very excited? Are you very proud of yourself now?”
Sun Yi leaned over and whispered.
Although it was just a joke, Sun Yi felt like she had lost out.
She liked Ye Chen. She really did.
In fact, she had liked him from way back when they were younger.
This was why she was happier than anyone else when Ye Chen returned.
She had thought that Ye Chen only belonged to her, but now it seemed that the stronger Ye Chen was, the more capable he was, and the more beautiful women he would have around him.
Right now, she did not expect Ye Chen to only love her, but she hoped that she would always have a place in Ye Chen’s heart.
“It felt alright,” Ye Chen said calmly.
“A man who doesn’t mean what he says!”
Sun Yi said, “I’m going to ask you a very serious question. You have to answer me properly.”
Ye Chen was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, a black shadow covered his eyes and Sun Yi’s red lips kissed him.
Her red lips parted, and Sun Yi’s pretty face turned red. She said seriously, “The question is, between me kissing you and Ruoxue kissing you, which one feels better? Don’t you dare change the topic!”
Ye Chen did not expect Sun Yi to do this. However, he knew very well that he should never praise another girl in front of her. He said without hesitation, “Of course it feels better when you kiss me.”
When Sun Yi heard this, she burst into laughter.
Her smile was like a blossoming flower.
“Ye Chen, since your answer has pleased me, 1 feel like giving you a very special reward…”
The room was very quiet.
Because the two of them were very close to each other, when their eyes locked, a surge of hormones seemed to heat up the atmosphere.
Ye Chen’s heart was already itching for action. He could not hold it in any longer. However, just as he was about to make his move, Sun Yi pounced on him.
