Chapter 2228

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the feeling of reluctance in Liu Manqiong's heart became even stronger.

She pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll take you there tomorrow night."

After saying this, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have run out of topics with Ye Chen.

She didn't dare to ask about the previous topic, and now, she didn't know what else to talk to Ye Chen about.

Actually, there was still a lot she wanted to ask Ye Chen, such as where in the mainland he was from, whether he was married at twenty-eight, or whether he had a girlfriend he was currently dating.

Or, ask him if he was willing to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days, because there were still many places she had never shared with anyone else that she wanted to take Ye Chen to walk around, see, and taste.

However, none of these questions were ones she dared to ask.

First of all, she didn't dare to ask, and secondly, she didn't dare to hear Ye Chen's answer.

Thus, the car suddenly fell into silence.

It rains a lot in Hong Kong. Halfway through the drive, raindrops began to fall from the sky. Liu Manqiong, who had been stealing glances at Ye Chen, looked at the raindrops on the car window, feeling a bit lost.

Ye Chen was driving, occasionally glancing at her. Seeing her lost expression, he asked subconsciously: "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Liu Manqiong suddenly came back to her senses, smoothed her soft hair, smiled slightly at Ye Chen, and whispered: "Nothing, just watching the rain."

Ye Chen was very curious: "What's so good about rain? Do you like rainy days?"

Liu Manqiong shook her head: "I don't like them. I hate rainy days."

Ye Chen laughed: "It rains a lot in Hong Kong. For someone like you who hates rainy days, it doesn't seem very friendly."

"Yeah." Liu Manqiong pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "If many bad things happen on a rainy day, it makes people feel even more depressed, and then it makes people feel disgusted with rain."

Ye Chen seemed to have guessed something. He nodded slightly and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, Miss Manqiong, you're about to graduate with your doctorate, right? What are your plans after graduation?"

Liu Manqiong was startled by Ye Chen's suddenly jumping topic. After being stunned for a moment, she realized that Ye Chen had changed the subject because he definitely didn't want her to remember sad things. So she said with a smile: "I'll graduate this summer. After graduation, I plan to follow the original plan, go to Africa, and further implement the charity work I've been doing. Then I'll come back and find a job related to my major, working while continuing to do charity work within my capabilities."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Why do you still need to find a job? Wouldn't it be better to go to your father's company? You are the eldest daughter in the family, and his enterprise will most likely be handed over to you to inherit in the future."

Liu Manqiong shook her head and smiled: "I'm not very interested in his way of doing things. Besides, I've been studying Chinese from university to master's and doctorate, and I know nothing about finance and economics. I simply can't do that kind of work."

Saying this, Liu Manqiong teased herself with a bit of self-deprecation: "Besides, look at me, am I someone suitable for doing business? The snack street still has a deficit of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars every month that needs my dad to fill. If he really gave me the enterprise to inherit, I'm afraid I'd squander his family assets in no time."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "How long have you bought the snack street?"

Liu Manqiong thought for a moment and said: "It's been over ten years, right? It was bought the year my dad got married."

Ye Chen asked her: "Do you know how much it cost when it was bought?"

"Forgot..." Liu Manqiong said awkwardly: "Actually, I'm not sensitive to this aspect, and I wasn't very old at that time. I just felt that I wanted to keep that street, so I asked my dad to pay for it. As for how much it cost, I really don't know."

Ye Chen asked again: "Then how do you know there is still a deficit of 200,000 every month?"
