Chapter 253 - Don’t Want to Agree (1)

The room was very quiet, only the sound of Ye Qingran drinking water could be heard. She held the cup and gulped down a cup of water.

She put down the cup and said to Chu Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, “I spoke until I almost ran out of saliva. I’ve finally persuaded her to go back.”

Chu Yan, who was silent, shot back with a vicious tongue. “If you punched her directly, she would go back very quickly.”

Ye Qingran giggled and said, “As men, we have to know how to cherish the fairer sex. How can we attack her just like that?”

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows. “We?”

Ye Qingran winked at him mischievously. “Haha, I’m used to it.”

She sat down beside Chu Yan and lifted his chin with her finger. She asked with a smile, “If I were really a man, would you still be with me?”

Chu Yan held her hand. “Can I even get off the boat?”

“If you’ve boarded then you can’t get off.”

“Then that’s it.”

Hearing Chu Yan’s relaxed tone, Ye Qingran deliberately tried to scare him. “Then maybe one day, I’ll really turn into a man and come looking for you.”

Chu Yan did not care at all. “Stay away from her in the future.”

He was talking about Su Kefei.

He did not agree with Ye Qingran going out just now.

The corners of Ye Qingran’s mouth curled up slightly, she smiled and said, “There’s no need. We’ve already agreed that it will be a fair competition. No matter who you end up with, we will respect your decision and give you our sincere blessings. Even if we can’t do it sincerely, we must stay far away from each other. We absolutely can not do anything to harm each other.”

Chu Yan asked, “You believe that?”

Ye Qingran nodded. “I believe that.”

Chu Yan asked, “Aren’t you afraid that she’s just giving you a perfunctory reply? After all, I’ve already made my decision.”

Ye Qingran said, “Maybe. But there’s a saying that’s quite right. You can’t stop others from liking you even if you don’t like them. In my opinion, you can silently like someone as long as your liking won’t cause any trouble and won’t hurt yourself or others. If it’s only in her heart, then let her be. When a girl is young, there will always be someone that she silently likes. There’s no need to be too harsh on her.”

Chu Yan changed the topic. “Then who was the person you secretly liked when you were young?”

Ye Qingran smiled. “You. I was captivated by you at first glance. I thought, how could there be such a good-looking man in this world? Every part is one that I like. It’s practically tailor-made for me.”

“Your mouth is so sweet. Let me have a taste to see if you’ve eaten honey.”

After Chu Yan said that, he leaned over and wanted to kiss Ye Qingran’s lips.

However, Ye Qingran pushed him away. “I have something I want to talk to you about.”

Chu Yan looked at her and hummed.

Ye Qingran suppressed her voice and said, “When I was having lunch with my father, I also told him about us.”

Chu Yan immediately sat up straight and his expression became serious. “Is your father against us being together?”

Ye Qingran nodded. “Congratulations, you guessed it right.”

Chu Yan quickly regained his composure and made a quick decision. “I want to treat your father to a meal.”

Ye Qingran asked, “Aren’t you going on a business trip in two days?”

Chu Yan said, “Isn’t there still tomorrow and the day after? If he’s not free in these two days, then he can only wait for me to come back.”

Ye Qingran did not think there was a need to be anxious. Ye Jun, who had just found out that she was in love, obviously did not agree. It would be better to wait for some time and let him accept it before meeting again for dinner.

She said, “Let’s wait for you to come back first.”

However, Chu Yan felt that since Ye Qingran’s father knew that they were together, he had to express his love for her at the first opportunity. Only then could he show his love for her.

If he handled it too carelessly, it would also appear that his love for her was too fake.

He said, “Call and ask. If he’s unavailable, wait for me to come back.”

Under Chu Yan’s gaze, Ye Qingran called Ye Jun and said that she wanted to treat him to a meal.

Suddenly treating him to a meal made Ye Jun feel that things were not that simple, so he asked, “Just you?”

Ye Qingran replied, “Of course not. There’s still my boyfriend.”

Ye Jun’s expression darkened, and he immediately wanted to refuse. However, on second thought, he decided to use this opportunity to make that brat give up and stop pestering his precious daughter.

While they were chatting, he would step on him both in the open and the dark, deliberately making him look bad.

If his family was well-off, he would mock him as a member of the second class. If his family was not well-off, he would mock him for failing to climb the social ladder.

No matter what, he would not lose out on this meal.

“Alright, then tomorrow night, Tang Store.”

The capital was very famous, famous for its expensive restaurants. He wanted to rip that kid off. If he couldn’t bear with this, and even started to regret. Perhaps he could let his daughter see the kid’s true colors and break up directly.

The next day, Chu Yan came to pick up Ye Qingran from school and then went to Tang Store together.

They had arrived an hour earlier, but when they entered, they still saw Ye Jun and Ye Hanzhi inside.

Ye Jun looked at them as he noticed them, but he glanced at Ye Qingran and Chu Yan from the corner of his eyes. It was clear that he was peeking.

When Ye Hanzhi looked at Chu Yan, he did not hide the coldness in his eyes at all.

It could be seen that he, who knew that his sister was in love, also had an objection to this.

When Chu Yan greeted him, Ye Hanzhi reached out his hand.

Chu Yan reached out and shook his hand. He immediately felt a firm grip on his hand.

His expression did not change. His face was calm, and he exerted some strength.

Ye Hanzhi’s expression changed slightly. When he was about to speak, Chu Yan had already let go of his hand and reached out. “Please.”

Ye Jun’s strange voice came from the side. “You’re really a busy man. I’ve been sitting here for almost an hour.”

Ye Qingran knew that he was deliberately finding fault.

She smiled and said, “They haven’t opened for business at four o’clock. Dinner will only start at five o’clock, and our appointment is at six o’clock.”

Ye Jun looked at Ye Qingran resentfully and thought to himself, “Stupid daughter, who am I doing this for? It’s all for you. How can you ruin father’s reputation?”.

He turned his gaze to Chu Yan.

He looked good, but it was useless for a man to be good-looking. Once he reached middle aged, he would just be an ordinary man.

Chu Yan looked at him and politely greeted him.

Ye Jun did not respond.

Instead, he looked at Ye Hanzhi. Ye Hanzhi and him looked at each other. The two of them understood each other and expressed their disapproval.

His gaze then fell on Chu Yan’s face.

He was indeed good-looking. No wonder he had charmed his precious daughter so much that she was disoriented.

However, he gave off a feeling of arrogance. Would such a man really treat his daughter well?

He was very suspicious.

Moreover, why did his face look somewhat familiar? Where had he seen it before.

Surnamed Chu?

He did not seem to know anyone surnamed Chu in the capital city.

Could it be that they had met at some business cocktail party?
