Chapter 438: Could It Be Someone from the Ye Family?

Xiao Changkun's consideration was very simple, because he was worried that Ma Lan would suddenly return within the next two days.

In case she suddenly returned home, then he wouldn't have such a good opportunity.

Even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to invite Han Meiqing to his house for a meal while Ma Lan was still at home.

In that case, Ma Lan would probably hack him to death with a knife.

So he felt that if he wanted to have such an opportunity, he had to do it as soon as possible, and the sooner the better.

Han Meiqing couldn't help but recall the past in her heart.

Because her hometown was in Su Hang, she could only live in the dormitory when she was studying at university in Jin Ling.

Moreover, when everyone was dating back then, they were relatively shy and low-key, and didn't dare to let their families know, so she had always wanted to cook a meal for Xiao Changkun, but had never found a suitable opportunity.

At that time, it wasn't as convenient as it is now.

Now, if you want to find a place to cook for your lover, you can just find a hotel apartment or a short-term rental family apartment, and it will solve the problem, with kitchens and kitchenware available for everything.

But at that time, there were no such conditions.

Even staying at an ordinary guesthouse outside required an introduction letter from your unit, so young people dating at that time couldn't possibly go out to hotels or guesthouses to open a room.

The school's own guesthouse didn't require an introduction letter, just a student ID to open a room, but ordinary students didn't dare to open a room there, because they would very likely be caught by classmates and teachers.

The first time Han Meiqing and Xiao Changkun tasted the forbidden fruit was one night when Xiao Changkun, taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the Xiao house, secretly brought her home, and the two of them completed it hastily at home.

After that, if the two of them wanted to taste that feeling again, they could only wait until no one was in the Xiao house.

However, at that time, although the eldest brother Xiao Changgan was studying in another place, most of Old Master Xiao's projects were local, and he didn't run out very often.

And Old Mrs. Xiao didn't go out very often, so the opportunity for no one to be at home was extremely rare.

Thus, for a long period of time, when the two of them wanted to try the forbidden fruit, they could only choose the school's small woods, or parks in Jin Ling, or go to abandoned houses or even construction sites.

Most university students of that era adopted this way of dating, which was a way with no other way.

It seems very crazy now, but it was really normal in that era. After all, young people's hormones needed to be released, and there were no suitable venues to choose from.

Especially the school's small woods, which were the most popular. It was pitch black inside, and there might be a couple every ten meters. Everyone could hear other people's sounds, but no one said anything, no one looked at others, maintaining a tacit understanding, each busy with their own things.

Because no one could see anyone, and no one knew who was who, everyone didn't feel shy.

Sometimes, school teachers would take flashlights to the small woods to catch people, thinking they could catch one or two little couples at most, but they didn't expect that it was like plunging into a pile of wild ducks, suddenly startling a sky full of wild ducks.

Now, when the two of them recalled that past in their hearts, especially when they recalled the bits and pieces of the two of them being together back then, even the details that seem relatively crazy, relatively romantic, or relatively shy now, both of them had an extraordinary palpitation in their hearts.

Ye Chen discovered that Han Meiqing's face suddenly turned a bit red. And she looked as if she was shy.

He couldn't help but think to himself, isn't it just talking about going home to cook and eat? Why did this Auntie Han suddenly start blushing?

Immediately after, he looked at his father-in-law beside him and found that his father-in-law's face also turned red all of a sudden.

And he looked very restless, not knowing where to put his hands, only rubbing them continuously with his fingertips.

Ye Chen understood immediately. These two middle-aged and elderly people must have some unusual memories about "cooking and eating," or about "going home with him."

Paul also discovered that something seemed wrong, but he was too embarrassed to say anything, so he could only say to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, let's go to the private room first."

As he spoke, he said to Han Meiqing: "Mom, you've been on a plane for more than ten hours, you must be quite tired. If you and Uncle Xiao want to chat, we can sit down in the private room and chat."

Only then did Han Meiqing suddenly come back to her senses. What she had just been thinking about was her past with Xiao Changkun back then, and she even recalled the details of her first time with Xiao Changkun.

At nearly 50 years old, her face turned even redder, and she hurriedly followed her son's words, saying: "Oh my, you're right. Look at us, we're already old and confused. Let's hurry to the private room and sit down to chat!"

Xiao Changkun also hurriedly echoed on the side: "Yes, yes, yes, let's hurry to the private room and sit down. It's all my fault, all my fault. I was just thinking about chatting and forgot about this matter!"

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and even sighed in his heart. It seems these two people are truly dry wood meeting a raging fire!

And it is dry wood and raging fire that have been waiting for 20-plus years. If they are allowed to meet and are given a chance to burn, then I'm afraid they will definitely burn into a raging fire...

Ye Chen led the way in front, guiding everyone to the catering department of Bai Jinhangong.

The manager of the catering department had long since received instructions. As soon as he saw Ye Chen, he immediately greeted him and asked respectfully: "Hello, sir, may I ask if you are a member of our Bai Jinhangong?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "I am not a member, but I have already asked a friend to book a private room for me."

The other party hurriedly asked again: "Then may I ask your surname? Which private room number is booked?"

Ye Chen said: "My surname is Ye, but I'm not very clear about which private room number is booked. I booked the private room through your General Chen Zong."

The other party immediately bowed respectfully and said: "So you are Mr. Ye. The private room you want has already been prepared for you. Please follow me."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "Thank you."

The manager of the catering department led the four of them toward the private room. Paul asked Ye Chen somewhat curiously: "Mr. Ye, do you know General Chen Zong here?"

Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I know him, but we aren't close."

Paul said subconsciously: "Bai Jinhangong seems to be an industry of the Ye family in Yan Jing, and General Chen Zong here is the spokesperson for the Ye family in Yan Jing."

Ye Chen looked at Paul in surprise. He really didn't expect that this American had figured out this place so clearly.

So he asked with a smile: "Mr. Paul must have done a lot of homework on Jin Ling, right?"

Paul nodded generously and said: "Before preparing to move the company to Jin Ling, I had already started to understand some of the situation in Jin Ling. After all, the company is my father's life's work. I couldn't possibly have brought it to an unfamiliar environment without any preparation."

Ye Chen couldn't help but admire: "Mr. Paul is so meticulous in his work, and also so forward-looking. I believe that in the future, he will definitely be able to be like a fish in water and be very prosperous in Jin Ling."

Paul smiled slightly: "Mr. Ye, you are too kind."

After finishing, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Ye Chen with his eyes, and asked curiously: "Mr. Ye, your surname is Ye, and you know General Chen Zong of Bai Jinhangong. Could it be that you are a member of the Ye family in Yan Jing?" ===== CHAPTER 439 =====
