Ye Jun said sternly, “In short, you must remember that a girl must be pampered and have high standards. When you find a boyfriend, you must find the best. You are still studying, so you can choose slowly. You must choose slowly, you must choose the best one.”
Ye Qingran agreed, “Yes, when I find a boyfriend, I must find the best one. This is a must, and a certainty.”
She naturally knew what Ye Jun meant. He hoped that she would not get a boyfriend.
However, the boyfriend that she was looking for now was the best one for her.
Whether it was in real life or here, it was the best.
When Ye Jun heard this, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief in his heart.
Old Fourth’s standards were still very high. His father was so outstanding, and she had a few good brothers at home. She would not be interested in an ordinary brat.
He smiled with relief. “Alright, rest early.”
Ye Qingran returned to her room and sent Chu Yan a message, asking him to let her know when he was home.
When she was done showering and lying on the bed preparing to sleep, she received a message from Chu Yan. He was already home.
Ye Qingran immediately made a call.
Just as the phone rang, the other party picked it up. The man said in a low voice, “You’re not asleep yet?”
Ye Qingran sighed. “I couldn’t sleep. Why did it take you so long to get home?”
“I went to take care of some things and was delayed,” Chu Yan asked softly. “Why didn’t you sleep?”
Ye Qingran said gloomily, “My father suspected that I had a boyfriend and seemed to know that it was you. He objected and warned me sternly that I was not allowed to see you again, or else he would sever the relationship between father and daughter with me.”
She almost broke down by the end and raised her tone slightly.
Although it was very subtle, Chu Yan still noticed it.
He was very distressed when he heard her, but Chu Yan really did not feel her sadness and depression.
However, he did not expose Ye Qingran and asked, “Your father doesn’t want us to be together?”
Ye Qingran nodded. “And his attitude is very unyielding.”
Chu Yan was silent for a moment before he said, “It seems, I have to have a talk with your father.”
Ye Qingran rejected him. “No, no. I’ll convince my father.”
After talking for a while, everything was exposed.
Chu Yan readily agreed. “Okay.”
However, he added, “But I can’t do nothing either.”
Ye Qingran felt that he could tell that she was lying to him. Knowing that she could not continue, she could not help but chuckle. “I’m lying to you.”
Chu Yan said three words lovingly, “You’re really bad.”
Ye Qingran snorted softly, “You’re even worse. You clearly knew that I was lying to you, yet you still deliberately watched me act.”
“I had no choice. I had to win the favor of the beauty.”
“You actually know how to be glib-tongued. It’s an eye-opener for me. It seems that father was right about one thing, men are not as simple as they look.”
“My future father-in-law is giving you a lesson.”
“Although what I said just now was a lie, your future father-in-law clearly said that my future boyfriend must be the best, or else I’ll be single for the rest of my life. Anyway, he’ll take care of me. If you can’t become the best, then we really won’t have a chance.”
“Okay.” Chu Yan agreed readily again.
“It’s the best, which is equal to perfection. If you agree so easily and fail to achieve it, then you will lose face.” Ye Qingran smiled, as if she was gloating.
“Even if I fail, you still have to accept,” Chu Yan said domineeringly, as if he had been attached to her for the rest of his life.
“This is a hooligan’s behavior.”
The two chatted for a while.
It was almost twelve o’clock, and it was getting late, so they ended the call.
After Chu Yan and Ye Qingran finished chatting, the originally gentle expression slowly disappeared.
He stood at the window and looked at the pitch-black night outside. His gaze was deep and fathomless, as if there was a thick fog inside that could not be dispersed.
On the phone just now, he told Ye Qingran that he went to the company to settle some matters.
It was half true and half false.
What was false was that he did not go to the company, but it was true that he had indeed settled some matters.
On the way back, he received a call from Housekeeper Wen. She said that no matter what, she had to see him today because there was something very important to tell him.
And it was about Ye Qingran.
Chu Yan directly asked her to come to the villa.
Housekeeper Wen arrived after a few minutes. She had probably been waiting outside the residential area.
When Housekeeper Wen came in, her brows were tightly knitted and her face was pale. She looked extremely vexed and even had a trace of panic.
Chu Yan sat on the sofa and leaned back. His hand was casually placed on the armrest, his indifferent eyes were so aloof that nothing could enter his eyes.
His expression was always indifferent, but Housekeeper Wen could clearly feel the pressure coming from him.
“Speak.” Chu Yan did not ask Housekeeper Wen to sit down.
He just raised his chin and looked at her without batting an eyelid.
Housekeeper Wen smiled gently at first. “Young master, it was my fault this afternoon. I apologize to you, I shouldn’t have entered the house without permission. Even if I originally wanted to give you a surprise, it was also my fault. Please don’t be angry.”
Chu Yan asked, “Is that why you’re here?”
Housekeeper Wen was afraid that she would be chased out by Chu Yan before she could say everything she needed to say.
She quickly said, “When I left the house today, I met a little girl who lived opposite you. She was very naïve and hospitable. I sat in her house for a while and chatted with her for a while. Then, I learned something I think I need to tell you.”
Mu Qingxue did not expect Housekeeper Wen to sell her out so quickly.
She did not hesitate at all.
She did not beat around the bush either.
The little girl opposite him?
Who?
Chu Yan immediately thought of the old enemy that Ye Qingran mentioned, the woman called Mu Qingxue.
He frowned. “What did she say?”
“Young master, that year when you arrived at the Yan house, I had also just arrived at the Yan house. The people in the Yan house treat us badly, we can be said to be dependent on each other. I treat you better than my own son, but I also know that you are the young master. I can’t interfere in your affairs, but I really want you to be happy. I don’t want you to be cheated. That Ye Qingran is really too much!”
Speaking up to this point, Housekeeper Wen’s tone was tinged with anger.
She continued, “Two years ago, when you decided to come back to take care of Young Miss Cousin, you bought this house in advance. However, this woman said that this house is hers.”
Chu Yan replied, “The house is indeed hers now.”
Housekeeper Wen said, “That’s because you gave it to her. It’s fine if she’s not grateful, but she actually told people outside that you’re her gigolo. Didn’t she take a look at who she is? Where is her face to say such big words? What ability does she have to keep you?”
Chu Yan replied, “I’m happy.”
Housekeeper Wen subconsciously clenched her fists. “Even so, Young Master, have you ever thought that maybe she’s not the girl you like?”
