Chapter 2288

In Ye Chen's palm at this moment, he was clutching a Sanxue Juxin Dan.

This Sanxue Juxin Dan was about one centimeter in diameter, more or less; since it was not as precious as the Huichun Dan, Ye Chen had not bothered to put it in a wooden box, but simply wrapped it in wax paper meant for food.

When Fei Keyin heard that Ye Chen was going to give her a gift, and moreover like a child, deliberately clenching one fist with the palm facing down, appearing quite mysterious, she momentarily thought Ye Chen was joking with her, so she laughed and said: "Mr. Ye, what little gift are you preparing? It wouldn't be a little bug, would it? I'll say it first—I'm not afraid of bugs."

Little boys in childhood always loved to tease little girls, most commonly by grabbing a bug in their palm and pretending there was a gift for the girl to reach out and take.

At this moment, Fei Keyin also seemed to have her playful spirit aroused; while speaking, she also stretched out her hand, placing it beneath Ye Chen's clenched hand, then looked at Ye Chen and asked with a light laugh: "Should I close my eyes?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said calmly: "No need."

Saying this, he relaxed his palm, and the Sanxue Juxin Dan fell into Fei Keyin's hand.

Fei Keyin felt as if a piece of paper had landed in her hand, yet it seemed to have more substance than paper, so she curiously looked at it and saw it was a spherical object wrapped in wax paper; for a moment she was stunned, then immediately she recalled the Sanxue Juxin Dan that Liu Manqiong had shown her, which seemed also to be wrapped in this kind of wax paper...

At this moment, Fei Keyin's heart felt as if struck heavily, her whole body even her scalp began to go numb, her heartbeat faster than ever before, as if adrenaline had surged sharply in this instant.

Even though the Sanxue Juxin Dan already lay in her palm, Fei Keyin still could not quite believe it.

She stared at Ye Chen, dumbfounded, and instinctively asked: "Mr. Ye, this... this isn't the Sanxue Juxin Dan, is it? Why would you suddenly give me such a precious gift?"

Ye Chen looked at her and smiled faintly: "During this period, I have indeed troubled you quite a bit; this Sanxue Juxin Dan is merely my small token of thought, and I hope Miss Fei will not disdain it."

Fei Keyin felt somewhat overwhelmed by the favor, even a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, my life is one you saved; without you, I could not have my present today; your great kindness and virtue toward me mean that I ought to do anything for you..."

Saying this, she hurriedly handed the Sanxue Juxin Dan back to Ye Chen, firmly saying: "Mr. Ye, this pill is too precious; I cannot accept it..."

Ye Chen, with a serious expression, pushed the pill back toward her, placing it again in Fei Keyin's hand, then used his own hand to clasp hers, enabling her to grip the pill firmly, and said: "This is my small token of thought; you may accept it with peace of mind, keep it close to you, and it will always be good to have as a precaution."

Saying this, Ye Chen added: "If it is not absolutely necessary, never directly give it to your grandfather; just keep it as a backup for yourself."

Seeing Ye Chen's firm attitude, Fei Keyin's heart was instantly moved beyond measure, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Just moments before, she had been feeling inferior and wronged due to Ye Chen's different treatment of her and Liu Manqiong.

But she had not expected Ye Chen to give her such a strong response so quickly.

At this moment, the greatest value of this pill before her was not the pill itself, but the attitude Ye Chen expressed through it.

This pill let her know that Ye Chen cared for her in his heart.

Thus, all her negative emotions surged out with her tears at this moment, her whole heart cleared like clouds parting, as if a young girl experiencing her first love, receiving a love letter from her beloved, sweetly filling her heart.

Seeing her tears flow incessantly, Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Look, you're crying over a little gift I gave you."

Saying this, he handed her a tissue and said: "Quickly wipe your tears; otherwise, when the flight attendant comes over and sees this, she might think I'm taking advantage of the empty cabin to bully you."

Fei Keyin couldn't help laughing, and while laughing she took the tissue and wiped her tears, teasing: "What are you afraid of? Even if you really bullied me, I wouldn't blame you..."

Saying this, she realized her joke might be inappropriate, quickly changed the subject, recalled the joke she had just made with Ye Chen, and immediately declared firmly: "Mr. Ye, thank you for this great gift; as repayment, within a week I will buy Patek Philippe and Rolex and give them to you..."

Ye Chen quickly waved his hands: "No, absolutely not!"

Saying this, he pointed to the Patek Philippe watch Liu Manqiong had given him, and said helplessly: "Just this one watch, I don't even know what to do with it; you want to give me two watchmaking companies—what would I do with them?"

Fei Keyin said seriously: "But if your Sanxue Juxin Dan were put up for auction, it could fetch at least hundreds of billions of dollars; I truly feel unworthy of it..."

Ye Chen waved his hand and instructed: "Fei Keyin, remember: if it's something I give you, no matter how precious or cheap it is, it's merely my token of thought; you need not feel disappointed because the gift is cheap, nor uneasy because it's precious; you only need to quietly accept it, and nothing else matters."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's utterly sincere words, Fei Keyin's heart was instantly moved beyond words.

She understood Ye Chen's thoughtfulness, and also knew that in Ye Chen's heart she surely had a place; thus, she hurriedly wiped away her tears that she could not control, nodded solemnly, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, Mr. Ye; Fei Keyin understands!"

Ye Chen hummed in acknowledgment, then said: "When you go back, say hello to your grandfather for me, and tell him that before I leave the United States, I will meet him again."

"Good!" Fei Keyin quickly nodded and asked: "Mr. Ye, is there something you need to discuss with my grandfather? I'll let him prepare in advance!"

Ye Chen shook his head: "No need to prepare; when I see him, I will tell him not to participate in next year's Huichun Dan auction."

Fei Keyin asked in surprise: "Mr. Ye... why... why is that?"

Ye Chen said seriously: "Your grandfather's desire for longevity is indeed too strong; if he still participates in the auction next year, he certainly cannot bear the consequence of failure, and might even make things worse."

Saying this, Ye Chen paused slightly, looked at Fei Keyin, and continued: "Once he goes all-in, and if you show him excessive tolerance and mercy, it could very well drag the entire Fei family into the abyss; you and the Fei family are very important future allies to me, and I do not want my allies to suffer great harm because of this."

Fei Keyin said with difficulty: "Mr. Ye... your grandfather... he has always been very clear about what he wants, and will act decisively; he won't listen to advice..."

"It's fine." Ye Chen said lightly: "I cannot just talk him out of it; if I did, not only would he not accept it, but even others would not."

Saying this, Ye Chen paused slightly, then said: "As for that Sanxue Juxin Dan I just gave you, keep it well; after I meet your grandfather, I will give him a promise to make him give up his thoughts on the Huichun Dan."

Fei Keyin did not know what in this world could be more important to her grandfather than the Huichun Dan, so she couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Ye, what promise do you intend to give my grandfather?"

Ye Chen said lightly: "As long as he properly assists you in securing your position as head of the Fei family, he need not compete for the Huichun Dan; I, Ye Chen, can guarantee him another ten years of life!"
