The auction concluded successfully.
The three families then held a grand celebratory banquet.
Ye Chen hadn't originally planned to join in the fun, but the three major families strongly invited them to attend.
Since Li Muyue couldn't refuse, Ye Chen had no choice but to go along with his wife.
The banquet was of a very high standard and extremely luxurious.
At this kind of banquet, the food and drinks are quite good, with many ingredients being temporarily air-freighted from all over the country, coupled with the cooking of national treasure-level master chefs.
Ye Chen hadn't eaten so well in a long time.
Aside from the food, nothing else at the banquet really interested him, except for the beautiful women, of course.
To be fair, every woman who attended this banquet possessed exceptional temperament, looks, and figure, and with their meticulous attire, they were truly a feast for the eyes.
Most of the celebrities attending the dinner weren't there for the food and drinks; they gathered in small groups to discuss collaborative projects and future plans.
Li Muyue was already very adept at handling such occasions, moving with ease among the many celebrities.
Ye Chen doesn't really like wearing masks these days, so he and Li Muyue parted ways after arriving at the venue.
I found a quiet corner and started eating and drinking to my heart's content, while also enjoying the view.
Fortunately, he had a special status, and the main characters tonight were the three major families, plus there weren't many people familiar with Ye Chen.
Although many people wanted to approach him and strike up a conversation, they were deterred by his unapproachable and reluctant-to-speak demeanor.
The people present were all perceptive; even those who knew each other only came over to say hello and then left.
However, there are exceptions.
For example, right now, Ye Chen had just picked up a plate of top-quality oysters in front of him when he was suddenly bumped into from behind by a soft body.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." A soft, weak voice came from behind, tinged with nervousness.
Ye Chen turned around and saw a young beauty in a white evening dress, with a pure and refined appearance and a curvaceous figure. She was holding onto the table with one hand and clutching the hem of her dress with the other, looking at him pitifully with a cautious expression.
"Ah, Mr. Ye, I didn't mean to bump into you. I just twisted my ankle..." The woman quickly explained when she saw Ye Chen turn around, as if she had just recognized him.
Ye Chen frowned slightly, feeling utterly speechless. This secluded corner was completely deserted, with no one within five meters of him. He must have had a GPS device installed to have bumped into him.
"It's alright, I won't hold you responsible," Ye Chen said, and started to leave.
"Mr. Ye..." the beautiful woman called out hurriedly.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Chen stopped and asked, frowning.
"This... could you please help me to that seat over there, Mr. Ye? I sprained my ankle and can't walk."
The woman spoke weakly, looking at Ye Chen with her watery eyes, appearing delicate and helpless.
Ye Chen frowned even more deeply, and his nose seemed to smell the aroma of green tea, causing him to twitch involuntarily.
Seeing Ye Chen frown, the woman quickly whispered, "If it's too troublesome, I'll just walk over myself."
As she spoke, she stood up and tried to move forward. After taking only two steps, a pained expression appeared on her face, but she still gritted her teeth and looked strong.
"Wait a minute, let me help you," Ye Chen said, a slight smirk on his face.
Although the woman in front of him was a high-class green tea, as a man, he couldn't just stand by and watch a beautiful woman act like that in front of him.
Besides, it's not like he'll lose anything by helping him out!
"Ah, thank you so much, Mr. Ye, you're so kind..." Upon hearing his voice, the woman looked up at him with delight, her face filled with gratitude.
"You're welcome, it was nothing," Ye Chen said casually, reaching out to help her up and leading her to a seat.
"It's too much trouble for Mr. Ye," the woman said shyly, intentionally or unintentionally brushing her breasts against Ye Chen's arm as she walked.
After taking her seat, the woman quickly thanked him again, saying, "Mr. Ye, thank you so much for today. I didn't expect someone as capable as you to be so kind. My name is Bai Shanshan. I wonder if I could leave my contact information with you, Mr. Ye? I want to thank you in person after my foot heals."
After she finished speaking, she looked at him with a pair of big, watery eyes full of respect and a hint of expectation.
"sharp!"
Ye Chen secretly praised her, raising his opinion of the woman in front of him to a whole new level. With that look of admiration and expectation, plus her pure and flawless appearance, few successful men could resist her.
He showed no expression on his face, but simply smiled and said, "Miss Bai, you're too kind. It was nothing, just a small favor. You should take good care of your injured foot."
"Honey, you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere. Who is this young lady?" Suddenly, Li Muyue's cool voice rang out from behind.
Ye Chen turned his head and saw Li Muyue looking at him with a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.
"Ah, Mu Yue, when did you arrive? You walked so quietly?" Ye Chen said, touching his nose, feeling strange, as if he had been caught in the act of adultery.
"I just found this place myself. I hope I didn't bother you," Li Muyue said with a smile.
"Hello, Mrs. Ye, my name is Bai Shanshan. I twisted my ankle just now, and I'm so grateful for Mr. Ye's help. Please don't misunderstand, it's all my fault..."
Before Ye Chen could speak, Bai Shanshan hurriedly explained, her face full of guilt and grievance.
Ye Chen looked speechless, shook his head, and said calmly, "Since Miss Bai is alright, I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he took Li Muyue's arm and left.
"Honey, this Miss Bai is so pitiful, aren't you tempted? I won't mind if you sneak a taste now and then," Li Muyue whispered teasingly in his ear.
"It tastes like green tea, I don't like it," Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Don't you men all like this kind of gentle and weak woman?" Li Muyue asked curiously.
"That kind of woman is quite attractive to men, but I prefer..." Ye Chen chuckled and whispered in Li Muyue's ear.
Two blushes rose on Li Muyue's face as she playfully scolded, "How annoying! Aren't you afraid someone will hear us?!"
After saying that, she glanced around guiltily. Seeing that the crowd was still some distance away, she relaxed and called out in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Good brother..."
Ye Chen licked his lips and suddenly felt a bit thirsty.
Suddenly, even the state banquet-standard food didn't taste good!
He found something even more delicious!
"Let's go back..."
As he spoke, he led Li Muyue around a corner and headed straight for the main gate.
"Uh... wait, the banquet isn't over yet!" Li Muyue said, blushing as she sensed Ye Chen's impulsiveness.
"It's not a banquet for us, why are we waiting!"
After saying that, Ye Chen left without another word, pulling Li Muyue along.
