Chapter 26 – What’s going on? Ye Fei, explain it to me

Around eight thirty in the evening, Ye Fei received a call from Zheng Wanyu.

Then, she invited him out!

It was his first time meeting his sister-in-law alone, and honestly, Ye Fei felt a little nervous inside.

After all, it seemed like his sister-in-law didn’t particularly like him.

As soon as he entered Qingteng Bar,

Ye Fei immediately spotted Zheng Wanyu at the bar counter.

Zheng Wanyu was holding a glass of whiskey, having waited for Ye Fei for two or three minutes.

“Sorry, I’m not late, am I?” Ye Fei said with a smile, then sat down beside her.

“No, I just got here too,” Zheng Wanyu told the bartender, “Get him a glass of whiskey, thanks.”

Ye Fei waved his hand. “Thanks, but I don’t drink.”

“Not giving me face?” Zheng Wanyu asked.

“Alright then.”

Ye Fei picked up the whiskey, took a sip, then asked, “Sis, why did you ask me to come here?”

“What did you just call me?” Zheng Wanyu said, surprised.

Ye Fei asked, “I called you ‘sis.’ Is that wrong?”

After all, he and Zheng Wanqing were legally married now.

It was only natural to follow his wife’s lead and call her ‘sister.’

Zheng Wanyu rolled her eyes. “Hmph, you really don’t treat me like an outsider.”

“Alright, let’s get to the point. I called you here today to talk about something serious.”

Ye Fei nodded. “Okay, I’m listening.”

Zheng Wanyu set down her glass. “To be honest, I don’t really like you. Though you’re handsome, and you look good with my sister—you two do have that couple vibe.”

“But I don’t know you well enough. I still need to assess your character.”

“Still, since it’s my sister’s decision, I’ll temporarily accept your relationship.”

“But there’s one thing you must promise me.”

Ye Fei nodded. “What is it?”

“That is—”

“You! Must! Never! Hurt! My! Sister!”

Zheng Wanyu enunciated every word powerfully.

Her expression was stern.

She had always doted on her little sister, and the one thing she couldn’t tolerate was her sister being deceived by a scumbag.

If Ye Fei were to mess with her sister’s feelings and hurt her, Then as the older sister, she definitely wouldn’t let it slide!

Ye Fei gave a helpless smile. “Sis, don’t worry. I’ve been with Wanqing for three years. Our relationship runs deep. I can’t live without her, and she can’t live without me.”

“I wouldn’t dream of hurting her—if anything, I only want to spoil her.”

And the only kind of ‘bullying’ I’d ever do is… well, you know.

Zheng Wanyu said, “Alright, that’s more like it.”

“You’d better remember what you said today. Be a man of your word.”

“Also, since we’re family now, once you graduate from college, if you want to start a business, our family can support you.”

“Although my dad doesn’t quite approve of your relationship yet, Wanqing is his precious daughter.”

“What father doesn’t care deeply for his daughter?”

“So, make us proud. Our family is one of the top business families in the city.”

“If Wanqing’s boyfriend—and future husband—turns out to be a failure,”

“Even if Wanqing doesn’t mind, it would still hurt my parents’ pride.”

Ye Fei smiled. “Sis, you don’t have to worry. I have my own plans for my career.”

“Words mean little. Time will prove everything. Just wait and see.”

Zheng Wanyu nodded. “I like your confidence.”

As they chatted, Hong Jie, the manager who had just walked down from the second floor of the bar, was on the phone.

“Yes, boss, I understand! I’ve received the new boss’s profile.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll cooperate with him fully.”

“Alright, goodbye. Let’s catch up another day.”

As she hung up, Hong Jie took a deep breath.

Not long ago, she had received notice from upper management and even got a faxed profile of the new boss.

Rumor had it the new boss was a college student named Ye Fei!

From now on, Qingteng Bar will belong to Ye Fei.

She was to assist the new boss with whatever he needed.

“I wonder what kind of person he is. Will he be easy to work with? And he’s a guy… I hope he won’t take advantage of me,” Hong Jie muttered to herself.

As she came downstairs into the bar’s main hall, She spotted Ye Fei at the bar!

The young man drinking there—he looked just like the guy in the profile photo.

Ye Fei and Zheng Wanyu had just finished chatting and were about to leave.

Then suddenly, the worst possible person appeared.

“Hello, President Ye!”

Ye Fei’s expression froze instantly.

What the hell, lady? Who even are you?!

You pick now of all times to show up?!

Is my secret about to be exposed?

Zheng Wanyu stared at him in shock.

“President Ye??”

“Ye Fei, what’s going on?”

“Explain yourself.”
