CHAPTER 296: CHAPTER 295 I SLEEP WITH YOU (4/4)

Wei Xueqing was fuming over Yang Chen’s rejection and indifference, but when she heard Sun Yue’s words, she couldn’t help but feel curious and looked at Yang Chen questioningly.

When did he get things like a vineyard estate?

Nonsense!

If Yang Chen had those things, why would he work as a bodyguard for her?

Yang Chen felt a bit annoyed, he stared at Sun Yue and said, "What are you trying to say?"

Sun Yue was equally blunt and said, "I just want to see how you deliver on your boasts!"

"You want me to prove it?" Yang Chen asked calmly.

"That’s right!" Sun Yue’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Yang Chen.

"Hehe!" Yang Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Not interested!"

He’s not the type to get provoked into proving how impressive he is.

How could he not see that Sun Yue was trying to trap him in his words, that she was deliberately provoking him?

Because there’s no need for it, he’s not interested.

There’s no need for him to rush to lay everything out because of a few words from a woman.

Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen and chuckled lightly, "What if I want to see it?"

Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin and said softly, "If you want to see, I’ll prove it to you bit by bit, but not now."

With those words, Ye Xin was satisfied, she nodded and stopped asking, continuing to eat.

Sun Yue watched in frustration.

How could Ye Xin be so easily appeased?

And Yang Chen, completely ignoring the usual playbook in such situations.

He’s already said it out loud, shouldn’t he show some proof?

"Ye Xin, you should be careful. There are men out there who are sweet talkers and only boast, when they actually have nothing!" Sun Yue said, pouting.

"Are you finished eating?" Yang Chen stared at Sun Yue, ready to issue an eviction order.

For someone who’s just looking for trouble, Yang Chen was already being gracious by not throwing her out directly.

"Not yet!" Sun Yue quickly picked up on Yang Chen’s intention, quickly replied, and bowed her head to eat, not daring to provoke him further.

The dishes are so delicious, how could she bear to waste them?

Wei Xueqing, however, looked completely puzzled, not knowing what the three of them were talking about.

"Yang Chen, what are you talking about? A vineyard estate? What’s going on?" Wei Xueqing couldn’t resist asking.

Yang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Some foreign assets, now considering moving them domestically."

"What kind of assets?" Wei Xueqing’s heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, she realized that Yang Chen was not as simple as he appeared.

She wasn’t referring to Yang Chen’s identity or capabilities, but his behavior.

Firstly, if Yang Chen had assets abroad, why didn’t he have money to treat Yanyan’s illness? Why would he work as a bodyguard to earn money, risking his life?

What is his true goal?

Various thoughts kept flashing through Wei Xueqing’s mind.

Yang Chen said, "Some wine and jewelry."

Wine and jewelry... those are incredibly profitable industries.

If Yang Chen’s previous existence was like being shrouded in mist, now it seemed like shadows flickered in that mist, signaling danger to Wei Xueqing.

With such assets, why would Yang Chen become her bodyguard? What was his purpose?

Wasn’t he a retired bodyguard?

How could he have assets abroad?

Wei Xueqing couldn’t figure it out.

She was lost in deep thought.

While the others chatted and laughed, Wei Xueqing seemed to remain in her offline state.

After they finished dinner and cleaned up the dishes, as the group sat on the sofa watching prime time TV dramas, Wei Xueqing finally came back to her senses.

Though she couldn’t discern Yang Chen’s motives, she was certain that Yang Chen harbored no ill intentions toward her, nor any ulterior motives.

Otherwise, Yang Chen could have easily climbed the ranks in the Shangdong Group and acquired shares during his time there.

But he didn’t, and even when Wei Xueqing and her father offered him shares multiple times, he declined.

Therefore, Wei Xueqing felt she had nothing to worry about.

Just as she regained clarity, she saw Yang Chen sitting on the sofa, arms open, with Ye Xin naturally resting against his arm, leaning on his shoulder.

Such an intimate gesture... made Wei Xueqing feel uneasy.

Wei Xueqing felt uneasy, and Ye Xin didn’t feel comfortable either.

Who was she? A top Flame Country operative! Renowned internationally as the Fire Phoenix! How could she not see through these subtle feelings and changes in expression?

She knew that Wei Xueqing was hiding something in her heart, and she could tell what it was.

She didn’t ask, because she waited for Wei Xueqing to tell her personally; this wasn’t something she could just casually ask about.

But looking at Wei Xueqing, it seemed unlikely she’d ever be forthcoming with her.

The TV show continued, but neither Wei Xueqing nor Ye Xin paid attention.

It was ten o’clock.

Ye Xin stood up, "Time to sleep, everyone!"

It looked like neither Sun Yue nor Wei Xueqing planned to go home.

Everyone had drunk, so driving wasn’t an option.

Fortunately, the villa in Emperor Garden was big enough; giving everyone their own room wouldn’t be a problem.

"I’ll sleep with you, Xinxin!" Wei Xueqing was the first to claim Ye Xin.

"Sure!" Ye Xin happily hugged Wei Xueqing; she was used to sharing a bed with her best friend, after all.

Sun Yue didn’t seem to care, "I’m fine as long as there’s a place to sleep."

"There are rooms on the second floor, let’s head up," Ye Xin said.

Sun Yue nodded, following Ye Xin’s lead.

Ye Xin beckoned to Yang Chen, "Honey, we’re going upstairs. Good night!"

It was clear she meant for Yang Chen to sleep downstairs.

Yang Chen felt extremely frustrated.

Honestly, today had already exceeded his expectations; he was quite pleased and satisfied.

But if he could take advantage of this momentum and seize the opportunity, it would be even better.

Unfortunately, two Cheng Yaojin and Wei Xueqing butted in, and she took over his wife.

Helplessly, Yang Chen had to dejectedly head to the guest room next to the stairs.

The male homeowner sleeping in the guest room... that’s something unique.

At night, Yang Chen didn’t go to sleep early but instead logged onto the dark web with his computer.

He left a message for Meng Po, asking her to get in touch with Zhao Feiyang, and then through Zhao Feiyang, to get in touch with him.

Operations could start at the Lancy Country wine estate.

Now that the company had been acquired, they must act swiftly.

Despite his calm demeanor now, Yang Chen was actually under tremendous time pressure. Plus, he still had many undone tasks and needed to act quickly.

The phrase "racing against time to seek development" couldn’t be more apt for Yang Chen’s current situation.

Now that he’s using his connections, there’s a risk of exposure.

He must get the domestic operations ready before his identity is exposed, thus ensuring he can protect his family back home.

Only then would he be strong enough to confront potent adversaries.

The world today is not an era where going it alone can secure victory.

To protect those around him, he must have a sufficiently powerful force.
