"Uncle, you can't be so unreasonable." Shi Nian calmly met his gaze. "You touched me yesterday too, so this is just returning the favor. We're even now."
Amidst this awkward atmosphere, Zhou Zheng, speaking timidly, said, "Fifth Master, someone ran a red light just now, and the car accidentally rear-ended another vehicle. Should I call someone to bring another car over to take you and Miss Shi to the hotel first?"
Ye Chen composed himself, gave a soft "hmm," and released his mental energy.
Let's let her off this time.
…
At 8 p.m., the car carrying Ye Chen and Shi Nian finally arrived and stopped in front of a luxury hotel.
Before getting out of the car, Ye Chen took out a mask that only covered the upper half of his face above his nose and put it on.
Shi Nian couldn't help but give him a deep look.
She knew from her past life that Ye Chen would always wear a half-face mask to cover his face when he attended public events.
It is said that this was his mother's request of him...
From the age of ten, whenever he went out to meet people, he had to wear a mask so that others would not know what the Fifth Master of the Bo family looked like.
"What are you looking at? Get out of the car!" Ye Chen glanced at her coldly.
"My shoes don't fit, help me out of the car," Shi Nian ordered matter-of-factly.
The shoes were a free gift with the dress, and they were a size too big.
The dress was actually too big, but Ruyan helped her alter it with a few stitches, so it wasn't noticeable to the naked eye. However, the shoes were a different story, so she had to make do with them and walk carefully.
Ye Chen coldly extended his hand, and Shi Nian placed her hand in his palm, using his strength to get up and get out of the car.
She took Ye Chen's arm and walked towards the hotel entrance.
They had just reached the hotel entrance when a group of people came to greet them.
The leader was a young woman wearing a princess dress.
She ran up to Ye Chen with a joyful expression and said excitedly, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to actually come! Thank you so much for coming. This is the happiest birthday I've ever had!"
This woman is the birthday girl today, and is also Ye Chen's cousin's niece from his mother's side of the family, Qiao Lin'er.
Ye Chen's surname is neither his father's nor his mother's. It is said that in the year he was born, a comrade-in-arms who had saved the old man's life passed away. That comrade-in-arms did not leave any offspring. In order to remember his comrade-in-arms, the old man gave his newborn son the surname of his comrade-in-arms.
"Little cousin, come inside with me quickly, don't get tired of standing!" Qiao Lin'er's eyes were glued to Ye Chen, her joyful voice filled with a girlish shyness and flattery.
She has no blood relation to the Qiao family; she was adopted by them. Therefore, she also has no blood relation to Ye Chen. It's perfectly acceptable for her to marry Ye Chen!
She fell in love with Ye Chen from the first time she saw him.
Even though Ye Chen always wore a mask, making it impossible to see his full face, his kingly aura and physique, which was even better than a male model's, were enough to make her completely infatuated.
She thought about marrying Ye Chen every day and fantasized about sleeping with him every night.
For her 24th birthday, she tentatively called the Bo family to invite Ye Chen to attend.
She hadn't held out much hope, but to her surprise, Ye Chen actually agreed to come!
Does this mean that Ye Chen also has feelings for her?
Qiao Lin'er was overjoyed.
But just then, she saw Shi Nian holding Ye Chen's arm, and her face instantly darkened!
"Little cousin, who is this woman? Where did you find such a lowlife?!"
