Chapter 43

Xiao Churan was also very curious about what happened today.

First, Ye Chen's BMW 520, why was it twice as fast as Wang Tengfei's BMW 540?

Then there was Ye Chen's ancient painting worth hundreds of thousands!

Also, why did Ye Chen know people from the underworld, and why did the people from the underworld give him so much face?

On the way back, Ye Chen explained it to her. He told Xiao Churan that this BMW 520 was a test-drive car modified by the 4S dealership, and in order to make users mistakenly think the car's power was very fierce, they had made some modifications.

Xiao Churan didn't know much about cars, so she believed it in a muddle.

As for the ancient painting, it had been explained before; someone else, out of friendship, transferred it to him at a low price, and he, out of friendship, sent it to Wang Daokun.

However, the scarred face's matter was a bit tricky.

After all, he kept calling him Mr. Ye so diligently, and Ye Chen couldn't explain it well.

In the end, he could only say that the scarred face's big brother was a relative of a friend of his, and they had met at a friend's gathering before. The guy was also giving him some respect for the sake of his friend.

Xiao Churan felt something was wrong, but seeing Ye Chen say it so firmly, she knew that asking further would be useless, so she didn't ask anymore.

Dong Ruolin had been observing Ye Chen and felt more and more that Ye Chen was not a simple person, so she decided to pay more attention to him in the future to see what secrets he had!

Wang Tengfei was said to be very miserable; he was already unconscious when he was sent to the hospital.

His father was fired by the Emgrand Group and was also found to have used his position to seek personal gain, so he had already been sued by the Emgrand Group's legal department and was immediately arrested by the public security organs.

It could be said that Wang Tengfei's family was completely finished.

However, Wang Tengfei's family didn't have much fame in Jin Ling, and no one cared about their life or death.

What everyone was really concerned about was the god-tier tycoon on the short-video platform and the mysterious big shot who was about to book the Sky Garden at Bai Jinhangong.

Everyone couldn't wait to know who exactly they were! And whether they were the same person!

Soon, the time came to the wedding anniversary.

Because he had long told Xiao Churan that he wanted to give her a surprise, Ye Chen forced Xiao Churan to change into a noble and elegant white evening dress before going out.

Xiao Churan agreed helplessly, while muttering: "We're just going out for a meal, why do you insist on me changing into such formal clothes? Even if today is our wedding anniversary, there's no need to be so grand, right?"

Ye Chen had a smile on his face and said: "Today is our third anniversary, so it should naturally be more formal. I've already booked the place to eat, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied with tonight's arrangements."

He had done a very good job of keeping secrets these past few days, and he hadn't let his wife have any doubts about this at all.

Xiao Churan smiled lightly, and she was also very moved in her heart.

For the wedding anniversaries of the past two years, the two of them had spent them casually at home. Although it was ordinary, Ye Chen would prepare some thoughtful little gifts for her to please her even when he was penniless back then.

However, this year, Ye Chen was acting unusually, keeping it mysterious, which instead made her unable to guess what new tricks her live-in husband was going to pull.

A moment later, the two changed their clothes and went out to take a taxi, arriving all the way at the Bai Jinhangong Hotel.

Ye Chen stepped out of the car, looked at Xiao Churan standing beside him, his gaze indescribably gentle, and said: "Churan, tonight, we will celebrate our third wedding anniversary here, what do you think?"

Xiao Churan's expression suddenly became strange. The restaurant Ye Chen booked tonight is here?

She subconsciously asked: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Of course not!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "A few days ago, I booked a seat here. If you don't believe me, let's go in and check the information."

Xiao Churan shook her head. Ye Chen had never lied to her in the three years they had been married, let alone on such an important day, so she said: "No need, I believe you."

As she spoke, she asked again: "You didn't book a seat in the Sky Garden, did you? Didn't a big shot book the place today?"

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "I booked a seat next to the Sky Garden, just in time to see the inside of the Sky Garden. When the time comes, we can also see what kind of big shot booked the place, what do you say?"

Xiao Churan smiled: "I'm not as gossipy as you!"

Afterward, the two walked into the Bai Jinhangong Hotel.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, a woman's exclamation suddenly came to their ears: "Oh my, School Beauty Xiao, why are you here?!"

Xiao Churan looked up and saw a young man and woman walking towards them.

The man was wearing an expensive suit and looked like a rich young master from some family, while the woman was covered in famous brands, her makeup was beautiful, but her eyebrows were full of arrogance, and her dress looked even more vulgar and flirtatious.

Xiao Churan knew this woman; she was her roommate in college, Zhao Liqing.

However, although Zhao Liqing was in the same dormitory as Xiao Churan, the two were not in the same class.

Although they were in the same dormitory, the relationship between Xiao Churan and Zhao Liqing was very average.

This was mainly because Zhao Liqing was self-righteous and very jealous.

She had always felt that Xiao Churan didn't deserve the title of school beauty, and that the real school beauty should be her.

But the actual situation was that she was much worse than Xiao Churan in terms of appearance, figure, aura, and connotation.

However, this woman had one advantage, which was that she was particularly good at hooking up with men. It was said that all her expenses during her four years of college were paid for by those men.

Xiao Churan frowned, but considering they were classmates, when the two walked closer, she could only bite the bullet and say politely: "Liqing, long time no see. My husband and I came here to eat, what about you?"

Zhao Liqing said with surprise: "Oh, what a coincidence, my husband and I are also here to eat!"

After saying that, she again deliberately asked curiously: "By the way, which seat did you book? Ordinary private room, high-level private room, or luxury private room?"

Xiao Churan was confused about Ye Chen's arrangements and could only reply truthfully: "I'm not clear about this; the seat was booked by my husband."

At this time, Zhao Liqing noticed Ye Chen's existence, covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Oh, this is your live-in husband Ye Chen, right? Back in school, he was a very famous soft-rice king!"

The ridicule implied in her words was exceptionally harsh.

Xiao Churan's face was full of embarrassment.

Zhao Liqing came back to her senses and hurriedly said apologetically: "Oh, sorry, sorry, blame me for being quick-tongued, Churan, don't mind it..."

Ye Chen frowned slightly. This Zhao Liqing didn't seem to have good intentions!
