Chapter 25

Chen Rou’er Cried from Hunger

Chu Yao did not give up and quickly said, “You still remember, right? When we went to look for him previously, didn’t he move boxes of things into the house? He even told us to store more things. At that time, I thought he was crazy, but he was right.”

Chu Yao gritted her teeth in regret. She still remembered seeing the photo that Ye Xingchen had sent to Chen Rou’er a few days ago… Red wine, steak, and lobster. Looking at herself, she had to eat a bag of compressed biscuits in several sittings. She even had to pick up the crumbs that fell on the ground to eat.

Thinking of this, Chu Yao looked at Chen Rou’er with a hint of hatred in her eyes. This woman really didn’t know what was good for her! She had such a rich benefactor and yet she didn’t kiss up to him, just for that little bit of pride and character… If only Ye Xingchen liked her.

Chu Yao had no choice but to continue encouraging Chen Rou’er. “At this time, you should lower your stance a little. Moreover, isn’t Ye Xingchen quite handsome? If you give him more benefits, he will definitely bring food over immediately.”

Chen Rou’er’s attitude softened. She said hesitantly, “But he was so cold when I looked for him these few times.”

Chu Yao followed Chen Rou’er’s words and continued, “Are you stupid? He obviously thinks that he’s not worthy of you, so he wants to give up. After all, didn’t you always ignore him a while ago? Moreover, didn’t you always say that he wasn’t worthy of you?”

“If you’re like this, just send him a message and ask him how he’s doing at home. If you’re gentler and act coquettishly, don’t all men fall for this?”

After much persuasion, Chen Rou’er sent a message to Ye Xingchen, half-believing.

She pretended to be gentle and sent a voice message.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen was curled up on the sofa watching the documentary that he had downloaded earlier.

“Ding Dong!”

He took his phone and saw that it was a message from Chen Rou’er.

It was finally here.

Ye Xingchen’s face was full of ridicule. He thought to himself, this woman finally can’t take it anymore and is lowering herself to me.

He opened the voice chat, and the sweet voice was trembling.

“You’ve been neglecting me for so many days! Humph! So many days have passed and you didn’t come to look for me! You even said that you liked me before, hmph!”

“Didn’t I just say a few words to you a few days ago? What did I actually mean? If others can’t tell, you can’t tell either?”

“I said yes to you, you idiot!”

“I’m a girl, so I’m embarrassed to speak first. I’ve already hinted at you like that, but you still don’t understand!”

It had to be said that there was a reason why Chen Rou’er was able to charm Ye Xingchen. She had a beautiful voice, especially when she acted coquettishly. It could make one’s bones melt.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had the memories of his previous life after being reborn, if he didn’t clearly remember how that bitch Chen Rou’er had connected with outsiders to deceive him of his resources, and how she had led everyone into his villa…If it was still the Ye Xingchen of the past, he would have already personally brought Chen Rou’er over to eat and drink.

Ye Xingchen replied.

“My health hasn’t been very good recently. I’m probably sick, so I haven’t checked my WeChat.”

When Chen Rou’er saw the reply, her eyes immediately lit up. She only thought that Ye Xingchen Chen probably woke up and decided to continue being a bootlicker.

She looked at the word ‘sick’ and instantly felt that her chance had come. “Sick? What’s wrong with you? Are you okay? Do you want me to come over and take care of you?”

Ye Xingchen sniffed and replied, “I caught a cold.”

“Ah, it’s really easy to catch a cold in this cold weather. Do you have enough clothes at home? Should I send some over? You have to be careful. It’s not easy to cure a cold in this weather.”

“No, I have a summer cold.”

Ye Xingchen replied lazily.

Looking at Ye Xingchen’s message, Chen Rou’er was stunned for a moment before she became angry again.

Summer cold?

In this weather?

Are you kidding me?

The temperature in their house had already reached -50 to -60 degrees Celsius. She could only huddle together with Chu Yao to keep warm every day. Other than sleeping, they would eat a few mouthfuls after waking up from hunger. They did not dare to move too much, afraid that they would consume too much energy.

But Ye Xingchen said that he had caught a summer cold.

Chen Rou’er really wanted to curse, but she had no choice but to put on a pleasant expression.

“Haha, Xingchen, you’re so good at joking. Why didn’t I realize that you were such a humorous person before? How can you catch a summer cold in such a cold weather?”

Ye Xingchen sent a question mark.

“Are you cold? Oh, sorry, I have a temperature control system in my house, so I didn’t pay much attention to the temperature outside.”

“Maybe it was because I was in the mood to learn how to make barbecue two days ago, but I ended up sitting in front of the charcoal stove for too long and caught a summer cold.”

As Ye Xingchen spoke, he did not forget to take a photo of the oven that was still burning and roasting the oysters, prawns, lamb chops, and chicken wings. He even “accidentally” took a photo of his shorts and pants and sent it to Chen Rou’er.

If the first few photos only made Chen Rou’er jealous, then this photo could be said to make her jealous to the point that her eyes were spitting fire.

Barbecue! Charcoal furnace!

There was food and warmth!

Chen Rou’er had been so cold these few days that she almost couldn’t feel her body.

She stared at the photo, her facial features almost deformed from jealousy. When she was hungry and cold, this damned Ye Xingchen was actually enjoying himself here?!

Chu Yao noticed that Chen Rou’er was staring at her phone in a strange position. She leaned to the side and saw the photo that Ye Xingchen had sent her.

With just a glance, Chu Yao immediately exclaimed, “Really? This picture must be fake! What kind of time is this?! How could he still live so comfortably!”

“Impossible, this is definitely fake! Could it be that he is pretending with a photo in the past? Perhaps Ye Xingchen just wanted to act tough in front of you so that you would think how amazing and good he was. He might even trick you into living with him!”

Chen Rou’er suddenly came to a realization.

“What you said makes sense. Everyone doesn’t have enough to eat or wear. How can he live so comfortably?”

Chen Rou’er’s mind turned and she immediately made a video call to Ye Xingchen.

If she wanted to know if the photo was real or fake, she only needed to take a look at the video.

Chu Yao also leaned over and stared at the screen.

Ye Xingchen almost laughed out loud when he received the video call request.

Needless to say, the days were so boring now. Ye Xingchen really wanted to see what this so-called pure and cold school belle would look like when she was a lackey.

Ye Xingchen swiped his finger and picked up the video call.

The video call was connected, and both parties immediately saw each other’s current situation.
