Xia Ruoxueâs mother had investigated Ye Chenâs past, and knew that he had been nothing special back then. However, that five-year blank period seemed to have changed everything.
âYou came to me just to say these words?â
Ye Chen said calmly, âIf thereâs nothing else, then Iâm leaving.â
Ye Chen was about to get up when she continued, âWere you aware that Ruoxue has a marriage arrangement with the Qin family?â
Ye Chenâs body froze and he sat back down.
âMarriage arrangement? Why havenât 1 heard Ruoxue mention it before?â
âThis was decided a long time ago. If a major family wants to survive and ensure its peace and stability, they have to rely on martial strength. This is the weakness of the Xia family.â
âOf course, the Xia family has a few experts to hold down the fort, but it is far from enough!â
âRelying on the Qin family is the only way the Xia family can survive. These few years, Xia Ruoxueâs father had been looking for a marriage alliance with a martial arts family, but it never came to fruition until the Qin family appeared.â
âThis marriage alliance proposal was initiated by the Qin family, which surprised us. There are still a few months left until the marriage alliance is to be fulfilled.â
âDo you know why Iâm telling you this?â Xia Ruoxueâs mother stared at Ye Chen with a burning gaze.
Ye Chen did not say anything. His eyes were cold, like a bottomless abyss.
Xia Ruoxueâs mother sighed and said seriously, âI know that you might hate me. I did do some detestable things, but I did all of this for the Xia family and for Ruoxue. Any girl born in a major family cannot choose their marriage partners. It was the same for me. 1 met Xia Ruoxueâs father because of a marriage alliance.â
Ye Chen still did not speak. He knew very well that what she really wanted to say was yet to come.
Xia Ruoxueâs mother had been paying attention to Ye Chenâs reaction. However, other than a hint of killing intent in the beginning, Ye Chen remained completely calm.
She bit her lips and said seriously, âYe Chen, I hope that you can withdraw from Xia Ruoxueâs life. Youâve offended the Qin family, so theyâll definitely take revenge on you! Although you have Wu Xiangming behind you, he definitely canât represent the Wu family now! The Zhou family canât help you either. Youâre completely isolated now. How can you fight alone?â
âIâm saying this for your own good. Before the news reaches the Qin family, leave River City quickly and go to a place where no one can find you. This is your only chance of survival!â
Xia Ruoxueâs mother was almost shouting near the end of her sentence.
Silence returned to the room.
There was only the sound of Xia Ruoxueâs motherâs agitated breathing.
âIs the Qin family very powerful?â Ye Chen suddenly asked.
âYes, it is one of the top martial arts families. The Wu family is no match for the Qin family,â she replied.
âGot it,â Ye Chen stood up and said. Then, he walked out.
Xia Xiaofuâs mother was a little stunned. They had not even finished talking, so why was this guy leaving?
She quickly said, âYe Chen, when do you plan to leave River City? 1 can arrange a private jet for you.â
Ye Chen stopped and did not turn around. Instead, he snorted coldly and released an overwhelming aura.
âAlthough the world is vast, no one is qualified to make me retreat! If some people dare to seek death, 1 donât mind uprooting them!â
The door closed, as Xia Ruoxueâs mother was left trembling in the room.
She stared at the door, thinking about something.
On the top floor of the Tomson Condominiums.
Ye Chen and Sun Yi returned home. Xia Ruoxue had planned to come over today, but as her grandmother was leaving tomorrow, she decided to spend another night with her.
After all, the time she could spend with her would only decrease.
From, it could be seen that Xia Ruoxue was quite filial.
As soon as Ye Chen turned on the television in the living room, Sun Yi sat down beside him.
âYe Chen, tell me honestly. When Ruoxue kissed you just now, were you very excited? Are you very proud of yourself now?â
Sun Yi leaned over and whispered.
Although it was just a joke, Sun Yi felt like she had lost out.
She liked Ye Chen. She really did.
In fact, she had liked him from way back when they were younger.
This was why she was happier than anyone else when Ye Chen returned.
She had thought that Ye Chen only belonged to her, but now it seemed that the stronger Ye Chen was, the more capable he was, and the more beautiful women he would have around him.
Right now, she did not expect Ye Chen to only love her, but she hoped that she would always have a place in Ye Chenâs heart.
âIt felt alright,â Ye Chen said calmly.
âA man who doesnât mean what he says!â
Sun Yi said, âIâm going to ask you a very serious question. You have to answer me properly.â
Ye Chen was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, a black shadow covered his eyes and Sun Yiâs red lips kissed him.
Her red lips parted, and Sun Yiâs pretty face turned red. She said seriously, âThe question is, between me kissing you and Ruoxue kissing you, which one feels better? Donât you dare change the topic!â
Ye Chen did not expect Sun Yi to do this. However, he knew very well that he should never praise another girl in front of her. He said without hesitation, âOf course it feels better when you kiss me.â
When Sun Yi heard this, she burst into laughter.
Her smile was like a blossoming flower.
âYe Chen, since your answer has pleased me, 1 feel like giving you a very special rewardâŠâ
The room was very quiet.
Because the two of them were very close to each other, when their eyes locked, a surge of hormones seemed to heat up the atmosphere.
Ye Chenâs heart was already itching for action. He could not hold it in any longer. However, just as he was about to make his move, Sun Yi pounced on him.
