Chapter 696: It depends on Master Ye’s sincerity
"Master Ye, why did you find a beautiful woman to share the table with you when you were just eating?!" Ye Qiyuan's friend glanced at Kong Xiyan who was going to get a drink and said, "I've never seen you in a relationship. Do you like this? You have very high standards!
When are you getting married? I, Liu Ke, will be your best man, so remember to bring some snacks as gifts."
"If you don't need your eye, donate it to the medical school." Ye Qiyuan rolled his eyes at him. "Last time, we represented our school at a seminar at Jingcheng University, and she was the keynote speaker!"
"Who is it? Her!" Liu Ke looked at Kong Xiyan several times to identify her. "That genius senior from Beijing University? We were a bit far away at the time, so I couldn't see her clearly."
"I came here with Professor Du, how could it be fake?" Ye Qiyuan said, "The technical difficulties we need to overcome in our experiment happen to overlap with her research project. You better understand what's going on and don't talk nonsense."
"Don't worry about me!" Liu Ke quickly raised his thumb to show that he would act carefully.
Seeing Kong Xiyan coming back, Ye Qiyuan immediately smiled and said, "Is this place okay?"
"Not bad." Kong Xiyan nodded. "As a reception restaurant for an academic seminar, it's pretty good."
"If you need anything, feel free to tell me." Ye Qiyuan directly opened the QR code page on his phone and placed it in front of Kong Xiyan: "Add me as a friend."
"You're really persistent." Kong Xiyan smiled and nodded, then took out her phone and added Ye Qiyuan as a friend: "Okay."
"I also want to learn more about your preferences so that I can optimize and improve them later." Ye Qiyuan chatted while eating. "I saw a very interesting report on your current project last time. If there is a chance to ask Sister Kong for guidance, it would be our honor."
"That's fine with me, but Professor Du might not be happy." Kong Xiyan said with a dry laugh, "He also feels that I have too many things to do, which has affected the progress of the experiment."
"This might be something that all the top students have in common. Our Young Master Ye is also a very busy man." Liu Ke said with a smile, "You might have a lot of common topics."
"We do have common topics, but how many they are...it all depends on Young Master Ye's sincerity." Kong Xiyan smiled with a deep gaze.
At this time, Kong Xiyan's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and said, "Sorry, I have to answer the phone."
Looking at Kong Xiyan's back as she walked away with her phone, Liu Ke lowered his voice and said, "Sure, Mr. Ye, I see that the genius from Beijing University is very interested in you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Ye Qiyuan smiled a little embarrassedly: "She might just be being polite."
"Is that politeness? I feel like it's all clear! People want to see your sincerity! Sincerity!" Liu Ke lowered his voice and said, "We have to go to the cinema, have a candlelight dinner, and arrange everything!
Boy, maybe you can get rid of being single this time!
I knew you weren't serious about being a volunteer, man!
Best man, I must be the best man!"
"Shh, stop it." Ye Qiyuan blushed and waved her hands, "Keep your voice down! She's back."
Liu Ke quickly fell silent, but his eyes were still sparkling with excitement.
Kong Xiyan put away her phone after sitting down: "Sorry, my boyfriend just called me for something."
"?" When Liu Ke heard Kong Xiyan mention the word "boyfriend", her heart sank, and she looked at Ye Qiyuan with a little sympathy in her eyes.
After all, they had known each other for such a long time, but this was the first time he saw Ye Qiyuan being so proactive towards a girl, and it turned out that the girl was already taken.
This incident caused...
"Ah..." Ye Qiyuan was also stunned: "It's okay, Miss Kong has a boyfriend?"
"Yeah." Kong Xiyan replied casually, "I'm collaborating with him on my current experimental project."
"Well, they're truly a perfect match." Liu Ke laughed dryly and asked curiously, "So what Miss Kong just said about having to see the sincerity of us, Young Master Ye... is she talking about consulting fees? I don't mean to offend you, I just don't quite understand. I'm a bit of a fool, I..."
"It's okay." Kong Xiyan shook her head: "I just want to ask Master Ye about someone."
"Who?" Ye Qiyuan was a little curious.
"Ye Yunsheng."
With a "click", the fork in Ye Qiyuan's hand fell onto the plate, and the expression on his face froze. He looked at Kong Xiyan with eyes full of shock and wariness.
"It seems that Master Ye recognizes this person." Kong Xiyan looked at Ye Qiyuan and smiled: "Master Ye, you can show your sincerity now."
"I don't know him." Ye Qiyuan placed his fork on the edge of his plate. "Sorry, Miss Kong, I have something urgent to do. Let's talk another day."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Liu Ke looked at Ye Qiyuan with a puzzled look on his face, then put down his cutlery and stood up.
Huh? You're not going to eat it now?
It was fine before, why did it suddenly...
"Young Master Ye, there's no need to postpone it." Kong Xiyan said calmly, "I will visit the Ye family tonight. Please give a message to the head of the Ye family."
Ye Qiyuan paused and did not look back.
"Just tell them that everything is fine at Xing Er Tower, so that Patriarch Ye can rest assured."
Hearing this, Ye Qiyuan's face became even uglier and he left without looking back.
"Young Master Ye!" Liu Ke didn't understand the situation and hurriedly followed.
Kong Xiyan, who remained where she was, waved to the stunned staff nearby and said, "Please take these two away. They're not mine to waste."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The staff member quickly responded and went forward to collect the food, leaving a message: "I hope you enjoy your meal."
The staff member looked nervous. Since she started working here, every time Young Master Ye appeared, he was smiling and looked easy to talk to.
It was the first time she saw her young master lose his composure like this.
After dinner, Kong Xiyan returned to the hotel to rest.
Not long after, there was a knock on the hotel door, and Ye Qiyuan appeared in front of Kong Xiyan's door with a serious expression: "Ms. Kong, the head of the family wants to see you."
"I understand." Kong Xiyan responded, took her cell phone and two boxes of prepared gifts, closed the door, and left with Ye Qiyuan.
The Ye family house is a villa built halfway up the mountain. It has a simple shape, covers a large area and has a wide view.
Because it is winter, everything looks white and solemn.
Along the way, Ye Qiyuan was secretly observing Kong Xiyan. When Kong Xiyan looked back at him, he would immediately look away and pretend that nothing had happened.
After going back and forth several times, Kong Xiyan felt a little tired.
Just at this moment, Kong Zhishan called: "Sister, are you busy?"
"No, there's just a dog staring at me all the time, which is a bit annoying."
Ye Qiyuan, who was called a "dog", turned his head stiffly and touched his nose.
This Kong Xiyan is a bit rude.
