The Bugatti Veyron sped along the main road. At this moment, Ye Chen glanced at Li Kexin in the passenger seat and asked,
"Why are you so obedient all of a sudden? This doesn't seem like you."
Li Kexin, who had been lost in thought, suddenly returned to her senses.
"I've always been like this..."
Ye Chen smiled and said,
"Who was it that chased me for an entire street back then?"
Li Kexin's face suddenly turned red, and then she gave Ye Chen a playful roll of her eyes.
"You still mention that! Wasn't it all your fault?"
Ye Chen sneered a few times and said,
"You can't blame me entirely; it was just an accident."
Ye Chen deliberately brought up old matters again, not because he had nothing else to say, but because he saw Li Kexin seemed to be in low spirits and wanted to lighten the atmosphere. Hearing this, Li Kexin was silent for a moment, then turned her head and asked,
"Ye Chen, why are you being so kind to me?"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said,
"We're classmates."
"Is it that simple?" Li Kexin didn't believe it.
Ye Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said,
"Okay, I lied. Actually, I like you."
Li Kexin's heart skipped a beat, and she said unnaturally,
"What are you kidding... what kind of joke is that..."
"Look, you don't believe me when I tell the truth,"
Ye Chen shook his head, feigning helplessness, and continued driving.
Li Kexin bit her lip.
"You already have Xiaoya. I don't want to be a third party and destroy the relationship between the two of you."
Ye Chen glanced at Li Kexin, whose eyes were darting around, and said,
"You're thinking too much; you can't destroy it."
Li Kexin was stunned for a moment, then realized there was a hidden meaning in Ye Chen's words. Even if she were the third party, she could not destroy the relationship between Ye Chen and Du Xiaoya. At this moment, Li Kexin's whole demeanor faltered, and then she asked angrily,
"Are you so sure that I'll be your mistress?"
"Your understanding is somewhat flawed," Ye Chen said.
He then raised his right hand and asked,
"How many fingers are these?"
"Five. What's wrong?" Li Kexin said in confusion.
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said,
"If you think about it carefully, you'd actually be number five."
"Ah?" Li Kexin was stunned.
"Little five" and "little three",
although only two numbers apart, it had completely different meanings.
"You... you mean, Xiaoya is number four?"
Ye Chen said with a smile,
"Yeah."
Seriously speaking, Du Xiaoya was actually Ye Chen's first woman, not a mistress at all. Of course, Ye Chen wouldn't tell Li Kexin about this. In fact, at the beginning, Ye Chen didn't have any special thoughts about Li Kexin. It just felt that Li Kexin was still the same as before—a little interesting. However, all this changed after the incident in the bathroom the previous night. If Li Kexin didn't object, Ye Chen would naturally be happy to pursue things. Of course, if Li Kexin was unwilling, then Ye Chen would not force it, nor would he deceive her. Otherwise, Li Kexin would probably carry a kitchen knife and chase Ye Chen for eight blocks without letting up. This, Ye Chen was very sure, Li Kexin was capable of doing.
Hearing Ye Chen's affirmative answer, Li Kexin's eyes snapped open wide, staring at him.
"She... does she know you have... other girlfriends?"
Ye Chen nodded and said,
"She knows."
When Li Kexin heard this, she fell into a state of utter confusion. In her cognition, a woman as proud as Du Xiaoya could never be a mistress. Who would have thought that Du Xiaoya was not just a mistress, but had become "number four"? The most important thing was that Du Xiaoya had not been kept in the dark. The strong contrast and the shocking fact delivered the most direct stimulation to Li Kexin.
After a long while, Li Kexin came back to her senses.
"I... I don't want to be number five. If my mother finds out, she'll kill me..."
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Wow, it seems there's a chance here, although not a huge one..."
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel happy.
"Xiaoya should still be in the presidential suite. I'll take you there; the two of you can talk. And if you want to go out to relax, just go shopping together."
Li Kexin, whose heart was in turmoil, nodded and replied,
"Well..." At this moment, she felt somewhat helpless.
The news Ye Chen had delivered was so shocking that she couldn't even begin to process it.
Just then, a message popped up on Li Kexin's phone. When she picked it up, it was a text message confirming her salary had been deposited. At this moment, the image of the once mighty Manager Wang, acting like a subservient grandson in front of Ye Chen, reappeared in her mind. Li Kexin glanced at Ye Chen subconsciously and suddenly found that Ye Chen seemed to possess an inexplicable attraction.
"Don't think too much, don't think too much! He has girlfriends, and many of them..."
But a minute later, Li Kexin started peeking at Ye Chen again. It was okay not to look, but when she did, her heart started beating wildly. Li Kexin, noticing this, hurriedly leaned against the backrest and turned her head to look out the window.
In the afternoon, there were still many pedestrians on the street. Looking at the passers-by who kept looking at the Bugatti Veyron on the side of the road, Li Kexin suddenly felt a special sensation in her heart. She couldn't quite describe it, but it felt good. If it had been Du Xiaoya in this situation, she would have immediately recognized this feeling as a woman's "vanity." Yes, it was vanity. In fact, not only women have vanity; men do too. In this day and age, who doesn't have some vanity? However, relatively speaking, the vanity of women is countless times stronger than that of men.
Driving along, twenty minutes later, Ye Chen arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel. Throwing the car keys to the doorman, Ye Chen took Li Kexin towards the exclusive elevator.
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
...
Along the way, the female receptionists and the lobby manager bowed enthusiastically and said hello. Li Kexin had never experienced such a reception before, so she was a little nervous for a while. When they reached the elevator, they went straight up, and it didn't take long to reach the thirty-sixth floor. Andy immediately greeted them.
"Mr. Ye, welcome home."
Ye Chen nodded, then took Li Kexin towards the presidential suite. After swiping open the door, Ye Chen saw Du Xiaoya holding her mobile phone, dangling her long legs, eating snacks, and watching a TV show.
"Husband, you're back..." Du Xiaoya sat up, then froze.
"Kexin?"
Having said that, Du Xiaoya hurriedly put on her slippers and dragged Li Kexin, who was a little uncomfortable, into the room. Ye Chen glanced at Du Xiaoya at this time, then looked at Li Kexin and asked,
"What is your company's full name, and what business does it do?"
