Husband?
Wei Xueqing widened her eyes in disbelief, watching Ye Xin cling to Yang Chen's arm like a dainty bird.
Has the world gone mad?
In her mind, Ye Xin had always been a headstrong, wild woman! What kind of man could turn her into this?
Wei Xueqing felt like the world was changing!
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, what's going on?
Hasn't this girl been poisoned too deeply, has her brain fried?
"Alas!" Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh and say, "It's all my fault. If my medical skills were a bit better, things might have been different."
Ye Xin blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Yang Chen, a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Chen sighed, reached out to touch Ye Xin's head, and said, "If my medical skills were better, and I had discovered you sooner, I'm sure I could've cured you. But unfortunately, now this lovely girl has been poisoned into stupidity."
"..." Ye Xin's mouth twitched, and a vein popped up on her forehead.
Wei Xueqing knew this was a sign Ye Xin was about to get angry.
Feeling irritated, she immediately said, "If you two want to flirt, please do it outside, I'm working now!"
"Alright then!" Ye Xin immediately beamed a smile, looking as beautiful and sweet as ever, clinging onto Yang Chen's arm with a blissful expression, leaning on his shoulder, and softly said, "Husband, let's go home!"
Yang Chen's mouth twitched slightly, looking at Ye Xin's playful expression, he grinned and said, "Alright, let's... go home!"
Watching them walk out all lovey-dovey, Wei Xueqing was dumbfounded.
The person who just came in was definitely not Ye Xin!
Was this the same Ye Xin she knew, the unbeatable champion three times in a row?
Just now, she was clearly about to get angry, how could...
With her understanding of Ye Xin, she shouldn't act like this!
What kind of magic potion did this Yang Chen give her?
Wei Xueqing couldn't figure it out at all.
Ye Xin and Yang Chen walked out sweetly, attracting envious glances from countless people.
The senior white-collar workers at Shangdong Group noticed Ye Xin as soon as she came in and were ready to see if they could strike up a conversation with her. After all, a beauty like Ye Xin, a once-in-five-thousand-years kind of beauty, was very rare. Moreover, her explosively perfect figure directly sparked all the men's hormones.
Unfortunately, when this unrivaled goddess came out, she was already holding onto another man's arm.
The most important thing was, the clothes this man was wearing probably didn't even cost a hundred bucks!
Immediately, these men all beat their chests in regret, as if Yang Chen had committed an unpardonable crime by deceiving Ye Xin.
They thought, if they had met Ye Xin a little earlier, they could have saved her from her misery and let her live like a princess!
But alas, everything was regrettable. A good girl like that was just taken by this shabby-looking guy in front of them!
The lady at the front desk originally wanted to exchange contact information with Yang Chen when he came out, to see what kind of identity Yang Chen actually had, but ended up seeing the exceptional beauty who had just gone in come out holding his arm.
It seemed like she missed her chance.
However, this further confirmed the lady at the front desk's belief that Yang Chen's identity was anything but simple!
The two put on a display of sweetness, got on the elevator together, and came to the first floor.
Ye Xin directly pulled Yang Chen to a café, found a corner spot, and ordered two cups of coffee.
The two just sat there, quietly looking at each other.
Yang Chen noticed that Ye Xin looked really attractive in her white cartoon T-shirt. Innocently adorable.
Her hair was tied into a ponytail, combined with her exquisite and perfect face, it gave Yang Chen a feeling of being back in his school days.
"Two lattes, please enjoy," the waiter brought the coffee over, placed it in front of them, glanced at the pair, silently praised the golden couple, and then walked away.
Ye Xin was also observing Yang Chen. She found that Yang Chen looked very casual, indifferent, and didn't care much for his attire. His clothes seemed wrinkled. But all these clothes were very clean, and the cuffs of his shirt had been washed until they turned white, with a faint soap scent emanating from him.
Despite Yang Chen's lack of appearance maintenance, Ye Xin was certain that Yang Chen had a slight case of germophobia!
Because she noticed that Yang Chen was wearing Converse sneakers. It's well known that the toughest part to keep clean on canvas shoes is the white side of the sole, yet Yang Chen's shoes were spotless. Even though the canvas at the ankles had started to fray, the soles remained snowy white, as if they had never walked on the ground!
Moreover, she noticed that although Yang Chen seemed laid-back, there was a very sharp intensity in his eagle eyes, piercing enough to penetrate someone. Even though Yang Chen concealed it well, Ye Xin could still clearly perceive it.
Ye Xin couldn't help but be curious about what Yang Chen had gone through all these years. With such excellent medical skills, why hide beneath such an unimposing exterior?
She couldn't figure it out.
"You..."
"You..."
Both opened their mouths simultaneously, wanting to ask a question.
Seeing each other trying to speak, they both politely smiled, nodded at each other, and gestured for the other to go first.
Seeing the other mirror their actions, they chuckled simultaneously.
"You go ahead!"
"You go ahead!"
...
Ye Xin giggled and said, "Why don't you go first? I know more about the situation. I bet you have a ton of questions for me."
Yang Chen nodded, stirring his coffee with no intention of drinking it. Back in Federation Country, Yang Chen only drank the finest coffee, freshly picked, freshly dried, and freshly brewed—the freshest and most delicious.
He didn't need to taste the lattes here to smell the artificial scent coming from them.
After some pondering, Yang Chen asked the question that mattered most to him: "Do you know my parents?"
This was also one of the main reasons for his return this time.
"Of course, Uncle Yang and Auntie treat me very well. Grandpa Yang especially likes me; otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged a childhood engagement with you!" Ye Xin laughed.
Yang Chen slightly frowned, from Ye Xin's tone, it seemed she was very familiar with his family. But as for any arranged marriage, Yang Chen didn't believe it. He couldn't believe he could have an engagement with someone who knew him, yet he knew nothing about her.
If such a deep family connection indeed existed, Yang Chen couldn't believe they wouldn't have come looking for him.
Yang Chen had too many questions, too many uncertainties, but he couldn't bring himself to trust Ye Xin, let alone confide in someone he'd barely known for a day.
"Do you have any other questions?" Ye Xin lay on the table, her lively, bright eyes fixed on Yang Chen.
Yang Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Ye Xin smiled and said, "Alright, my turn now. Are you married?"
