Chapter 2693

~8 min read 1,479 words

Seeing Ye Chen standing at the door in a daze, Liu Manqiong couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Ye, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Chen came back to his senses and smiled: "Oh, I was thinking about something, sorry."

At this time, the waiter came over and said: "Please come in, the two of you."

Ye Chen nodded. When following the waiter into the door, he specifically looked at the small bell hanging on the sliding door, and he already had inspiration in his heart.

If the Anti-Qing Society really sends an earl to Jin Ling in the future, then he must make a "bell" that can warn him like himself.

After sitting down with Liu Manqiong, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhang Ermao, who originally sold antiques on the Antique Street, asking him to meet him at the hillside villa of Champs Elysees Hot Spring tomorrow noon.

Zhang Ermao had started to act as a dog-headed military advisor beside Hong Wu some time ago, and he had indeed done it with ease. He had reorganized the industries and personnel under Hong Wu, and the income and management had improved a lot.

At present, Hong Wu spent most of his time at Champs Elysees, and most of the affairs had been handed over to Zhang Ermao to handle.

The idea that Ye Chen just had a flash of inspiration needed Zhang Ermao to complete it for him.

At this time, Liu Manqiong was still a bit awkward and reserved in front of Ye Chen.

After ordering some food casually, she took the initiative to say to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry... I should have told you in advance about my coming to Jin Ling..."

Ye Chen saw the awkwardness and helplessness in her expression, so he smiled: "Wouldn't there be no such feeling of surprise if I told you in advance?"

Hearing this, Liu Manqiong couldn't hide her joy and asked: "Really? Do you really think so?"

"Of course." Although Ye Chen said this somewhat against his will, he also knew very well in his heart that Liu Manqiong had traveled so far, and he couldn't appear indifferent. That would definitely be a huge blow to her, and it would even make her feel like every day in Jin Ling was like a year.

And he only needed to show a bit of surprise to soothe the awkwardness and helplessness in Liu Manqiong's heart.

Liu Manqiong was indeed as Ye Chen expected. After hearing Ye Chen's affirmative answer, she immediately saw the moon through the clouds. Not only did her mood relax a lot, but a happy smile also instantly appeared on her face.

She looked at Ye Chen and said in a low voice with a bit of shyness: "I was afraid that coming to Jin Ling without saying hello would cause you trouble..."

"No." Ye Chen waved his hand without hesitation: "We are friends, and when I went to Hong Kong, you took good care of me. Now that you can come to Jin Ling to develop, of course I am very happy. If you need my help in Jin Ling in the future, don't be polite with me."

Liu Manqiong nodded heavily with joy: "Okay! I know!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then deliberately pretended to suddenly think of something, and asked: "By the way, what is your relationship with that Lin Xiaowan I saw in the dormitory at noon? How do you know each other?"

Liu Manqiong said truthfully: "Xiaowan is the granddaughter of a good friend of my grandfather. She is a Malaysian Chinese and came to Jin Ling University to study this year."

As she spoke, Liu Manqiong asked again: "By the way, I heard from Xiaowan that you know her new roommate?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said: "My younger sister happened to come to Jin Ling University to study this year. I didn't expect them to be assigned to the same dormitory and the same major."

"That's really a coincidence!" Liu Manqiong exclaimed: "I originally wanted to wait until I was stable at Jin Ling University after a while before finding a chance to tell you that I had come to Jin Ling, but I didn't expect to meet you when I went to Xiaowan's dormitory to find her today. It's really... really fate..."

"Right..." Ye Chen smiled and asked curiously: "By the way, what did you do after I left at noon?"

Liu Manqiong said: "I originally wanted to call Xiaowan to go eat together, but she seemed a bit uncomfortable. She kept saying her head hurt and rested in the dormitory for a long time without getting better, so I let Sister Xian take her back."

As she spoke, Liu Manqiong explained again: "By the way, Sister Xian is the housekeeper of Grandpa Qiu in Jin Ling. Xiaowan lives in Grandpa Qiu's Zijin Villa, and Sister Xian takes care of her daily life."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized that the reason Lin Wan'er had a headache was likely because he had injected too much spiritual energy into her brain at noon, and the psychological suggestion was a bit too fierce.

The reason for using a heavy dose was also because Ye Chen felt it was really strange to see her, and he was afraid that she had something strange.

Now that he thought about it, an eighteen-year-old girl having too much spiritual energy injected into her brain would definitely cause great damage to her body, and the headache and discomfort would likely last for a period of time.

Ye Chen also felt a bit ashamed for a moment, feeling that he had indeed reacted a bit too strongly when seeing Lin Wan'er, and had been a bit heavy-handed for a moment.

But fortunately, this situation wouldn't cause any irreversible damage to her. If the headache was severe, it would be fine after resting for a period of time.

At the same time.

At Zijin Villa.

Lin Wan'er, who was pale, had just opened her eyes.

Sister Xian, who was guarding on the side, asked with concern: "Miss Lin, how do you feel?"

Lin Wan'er only felt her brain spinning, and a strong sense of vomiting urged her stomach to churn.

Seeing her about to vomit, Sister Xian hurriedly picked up the trash can and placed it in front of her. Lin Wan'er vomited a stomach full of sour water with a 'wow'.

After eating at six o'clock in the morning, twelve hours had passed, and she hadn't had a drop of water. What she vomited was almost all the acid in her stomach, which burned her entire throat and esophagus, causing great pain.

Sister Xian wiped her mouth, hurriedly brought a cup of warm water, helped her rinse her mouth, and then helped her drink a little. Only then did Lin Wan'er feel a bit more comfortable.

Lin Wan'er struggled to sit up, her entire brain hurting as if it were about to explode.

She endured the pain and asked Sister Xian: "What time is it now?"

Sister Xian said hurriedly: "Back to Miss Lin, it's already six forty in the afternoon."

Lin Wan'er nodded gently and asked her: "You didn't tell anyone else about me being uncomfortable, did you?"

Sister Xian said hurriedly: "You ordered me not to tell, so I didn't tell anyone. After helping you back to the room, you passed out, so I helped you to the bed and kept guarding you. Our master and Mr. Zhang both came to ask, and I followed your wishes and didn't tell them, only saying you wanted to rest for a while."

"Good..." Lin Wan'er nodded weakly and said: "After getting in the car at noon, I almost lost consciousness. Thank you, Sister Xian."

Sister Xian said respectfully: "Miss Lin, you are too polite..."

As she spoke, she asked Lin Wan'er: "Miss Lin, you haven't eaten all day. Do you want me to prepare something for you?"

"Good..." Lin Wan'er indeed felt that her stomach was completely empty. Apart from the headache, she also had palpitations and weakness caused by hunger, so she said: "Thank you, Sister Xian, for helping me fill the hot spring pool in the yard with water. After eating, I want to soak for a while."

"Okay, Miss Lin." Sister Xian said respectfully: "Then Miss Lin, please rest for a while, and I will prepare dinner and hot spring water for you."

After Sister Xian finished speaking, she bowed and left, leaving Lin Wan'er alone, leaning against the head of the bed, lost in thought. Recalling the experience of being probed by Ye Chen repeatedly at noon, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but smile bitterly, muttering to herself: "Ye Chen, I wonder if I passed your test today?"
