How could I say something like that in front of Ye Chen? Will he have a bad impression of me?” Chen Qingqing thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, from the first time she met Ye Chen, she had an indescribable fondness for him, hoping to meet him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him tonight made her excited, but out of a girl’s reservation, she didn’t show it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, she couldn’t help it and spoke the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen watched as Chen Qingqing left quickly, feeling puzzled but not thinking much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone rang, and seeing that it was Yueyue calling: “Brother Ye Chen, have you arrived at the complex? I’m waiting for you downstairs. Drive carefully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been here for a while. I’ll be right over to find you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked the time; it was already 8:30, twenty minutes later than planned. This meant Yueyue had been waiting downstairs for that long. Fortunately, the weather wasn’t cold, or else this silly girl would have caught a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen parked the car, quickly took out the supplements from the car, and headed to Yueyue’s building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen approaching from afar, carrying lots of packages, Yueyue quickly went to meet him: “Brother Ye Chen, why did you buy so many things? My parents can’t finish all that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had already transferred his parents to another hospital and let her live in the Wanda Mansion, for which Yueyue felt a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, take your time.” Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yueyue opened her mouth a few times but didn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen could tell this girl had something to ask him, so he smiled and said, “Yueyue, do you have something to say to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yueyue nodded and said, “Brother Ye Chen, you just said you arrived early, what were you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she knew she shouldn’t ask, Yueyue couldn’t help but inquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and said, “I just gave a confused beauty a ride home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t lie; he told Yueyue the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he felt there was no need to lie about such things, and in his eyes, Yueyue was like a little sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That girl must be very pretty, right?” Yueyue continued to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, she is quite pretty, and very confused too.” Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Yueyue’s face disappeared; she even felt a bit jealous of that beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as it was late, Ye Chen didn’t notice it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he always saw Yueyue as his sister and assumed Yueyue saw him as a brother too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s getting late, you should go up now.” Ye Chen handed the supplements to Yueyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it wasn’t appropriate for him to stay at a single girl’s house so late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yueyue nodded and said, “Okay, Brother Ye Chen, drive safely and call me when you get home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, don’t worry.” Ye Chen waved at Yueyue and headed to the Lykan car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, after Chen Qingqing entered the room, she quickly drank a glass of cold water to calm down her mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she heard the Weixun notification sound, thinking it was a message from Ye Chen, her heart started pounding again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to her disappointment, there was no message from Ye Chen. Instead, she was added to a chat group called “We Are All Good Sisters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingqing looked at the chat group, thinking, “What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was wondering, a message popped up from someone named Weiwei: “My dear sisters, I’m getting engaged! Please be on time for my engagement party at the Marriott Hotel at 6 PM tomorrow. Love you all, mwah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingqing glanced and realized it was her college roommate Liu Ziwei. Apart from the two of them, the other four people in the group were also her roommates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During college, their dormitory had six girls: Liu Ziwei, Chen Qingqing, Zhao Yue, Yu Meng, Shen Xinyi, and Ning Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the group chat was all about the engagement party and hotel details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I’ll be there on time.” Chen Qingqing replied in the WeChat group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Qingqing’s response, the girls began to change the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weiwei: “Qingqing, you have to bring your boyfriend, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingqing: “I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yueyue: “Ziwei, of course! Qingqing is so exceptional, she must have a boyfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mengmeng: “I remember back in college, many boys pursued Qingqing, but she was all about her studies. Otherwise, she would surely be the first among us to get married.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xinyi: “Exactly, some of our college classmates even asked me to invite Qingqing out, saying they’ve always liked her, but Qingqing wouldn’t even meet them. I think she must be seeing someone now. By the way, Qingqing, what does your boyfriend do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xue: “You guys, stop talking. Qingqing might be embarrassed already. We’ll naturally see her boyfriend on the day. Qingqing, you have to bring him, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingqing stared blankly at the chat records. When she wanted to speak again, the conversation had already shifted to another topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t possibly say, “I don’t have a boyfriend right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be too awkward. Chen Qingqing felt like she was caught between a rock and a hard place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls were right. In college, boys pursuing her could line up across the playground, but Chen Qingqing was introverted and focused on her studies, so she missed many opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduating, she dated a few people, but the longer it was, the less she felt that connection with them anymore, and they had nothing in common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Chen Qingqing’s criteria for a boyfriend were simple: Someone she could talk, eat, and play with together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for a house or car, if there were any, it would be a bonus, not a requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingqing frowned, thinking about who she could call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She definitely had to bring someone tomorrow night, but after thinking for a while, she had no idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh well, she thought. Tomorrow she just wouldn’t bring a boyfriend since she didn’t have one anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Weixun notification sounded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen: “What happened to you tonight? Why did you leave so quickly? Are you feeling unwell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting home, Ye Chen suddenly remembered that hurried and anxious look of Chen Qingqing and wanted to ask her what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, since Chen Qingqing had previously helped him with something, Ye Chen felt he should show some concern as a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingqing stared at the Weixun message, somewhat dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you asleep? If so, I won’t disturb you.” Noticing Chen Qingqing hadn’t responded, Ye Chen sent another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingqing quickly replied, “No, I just remembered I left the water running at home, so I left in a hurry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was impossible for her to tell Ye Chen what was actually on her mind, so she made up what she thought was a reasonable excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New free novel: “City: Starting with 999 Mansions as a Reward” has been published.
