Third update!
Yes, this man was none other than Gu Shaoqing, who had once arranged to meet Ye Chenfeng.
“Young Master Gu!” Chen Xijun nodded and smiled in greeting, but she noticed that Gu Shaoqing moved his gaze from her and stared directly at Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng did the same, watching Gu Shaoqing with great interest.
The two men’s eyes met thunderously at that moment, making the space seem to freeze.
Instantly, Chen Xijun felt a sense of suffocation.
Gu Shaoqing’s originally calm eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp brilliance, as if a volcanic eruption of hot waves burst from them, enveloping everything in an overwhelming force.
The bright smile on Ye Chenfeng’s face was replaced by cold ice.
A tsunami-like aura, carrying a breath of destruction, horror, and death, rapidly spread from him, colliding with the overwhelming heat.
The air seemed to make a horrifying sizzling sound…
Everything around fell into deadly silence, as if even the air had been sucked dry, leaving the world in gray and white.
The closest one to the two men, Chen Xijun, felt it most tangibly.
At this moment, she felt as if her chest was about to explode, the blood in her veins stopped flowing, and her respiratory tract was twisted into knots.
“Boom!”
It sounded like muffled thunder exploding in the air.
Chen Xijun’s ears buzzed, but at the same time she found she could move, her blood resumed flowing, her breathing became smooth, and the terrifying feelings squeezing her chest vanished.
Looking up, she found that both Ye Chenfeng and Gu Shaoqing were smiling at each other.
“Dear Junjun, you haven’t introduced me!” Chen Xijun felt a weight on her shoulder; it was Ye Chenfeng wrapping his arm around her.
And what kind of nickname is “Dear Junjun”?
Like calling an unruly little kid?
Chen Xijun felt goosebumps all over.
Gu Shaoqing’s expression remained unchanged, but he observed the two with great interest.
Glancing at Gu Shaoqing, Chen Xijun couldn’t help but say, “Chenfeng, this is Young Master Gu Shaoqing from the Capital City.
Young Master Gu, this is my good friend Ye Chenfeng!”
“Hello, Brother Chenfeng!”
“Hello, Brother Shaoqing!”
The two shook hands politely, but without the clichéd test of strength; they withdrew their hands immediately after the touch.
“Brother Chenfeng, Miss Chen, please have a seat!” Gu Shaoqing invited them.
“Thank you!”
Then, the three of them sat together, creating an awkward scene for any onlookers.
Because this was originally a couple-themed western restaurant, how could the combination of two men and one woman not be awkward?
What Chen Xijun didn’t expect was that Gu Shaoqing seemed more interested in Ye Chenfeng than in her.
After sitting down, Gu Shaoqing’s gaze remained fixed on Ye Chenfeng.
“Brother Chenfeng, you seem quite extraordinary, with a graceful demeanor.
Could it be that you hail from an illustrious family?” Gu Shaoqing stared unblinkingly at Ye Chenfeng as he asked.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head, “Just a humble country bumpkin, definitely not from any aristocratic family.”
“Oh?
Is that so?
How could the fiancé of the Chu Corporation’s president, Chu Qingxue, be a humble country bumpkin?
I don’t believe it!” Gu Shaoqing smiled.
Ye Chenfeng sighed deeply, “I can’t help it; I’m too handsome.
My little Xue’xue was determined to marry me!
This isn’t the life I wanted, I’m worn out!”
“Do you know about the Capital Ye Family, Miss Chen?” Gu Shaoqing changed the topic, looking at Chen Xijun.
“What?” Chen Xijun was puzzled.
“The Capital Ye Family is a powerful existence, having been one of the Eight Great Families for centuries, with influence spanning across politics, business, and the military.
Their foundation is incredibly deep, remaining unshaken throughout the years!
Young Master Ye must be aware of this, right?” Gu Shaoqing intentionally steered the conversation towards Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head, “Really?
I didn’t know that!”
Gu Shaoqing smiled nonchalantly, “But Brother Chenfeng, I sense a natural kingly aura in you that’s typical of the Ye Family children.”
“You’re saying I bear the demeanor of the Capital Ye Family?” Ye Chenfeng pointed to himself and asked.
Gu Shaoqing nodded, “Indeed, I am fortunate to be friends with the most outstanding young talent of the Ye Family from the Capital.”
Chen Xijun, on the side, looked puzzled, “You mean the one known as the First Young Master of the Capital?”
“Exactly, someone who transcends ordinary people, a truly formidable existence.
I sensed a similar aura in Brother Chenfeng, a carefree exterior but actually exuding a dominating charisma!” Gu Shaoqing said.
In fact, his meaning was clear: Ye Chenfeng was from the Capital Ye Family.
Chen Xijun’s eyes brightened as she re-evaluated Ye Chenfeng.
Naturally, she understood Gu Shaoqing’s implication, wondering if Ye Chenfeng really did belong to the Capital Ye Family.
If true, it would overturn her understanding of him, and she would have to reassess him.
“Not only that, but years ago, a certain young man from the Ye Family was rejected by his fiancée and despised by his family.
He then disappeared, and people gradually forgot about him,” Gu Shaoqing continued, naturally casting a glance at Ye Chenfeng.
“Is that true?” Although Chen Xijun was the granddaughter of a high-ranking officer in the Northwest Military Region, she knew little about the affairs of the Capital City.
Gu Shaoqing’s lips curved into a sunny smile, “Yes, not only that, but the heiress of the Ji Family who broke off the engagement has now become a Major General, the youngest female General in the military history of the Divine Land!
Miss Ji’s brilliance makes many young heroes look up to her.”
Upon hearing this, a spark of color appeared in Ye Chenfeng’s otherwise dark eyes, but it vanished quickly.
“Female General?” Chen Xijun muttered to herself, her face showing a hint of admiration.
Ye Chenfeng lit a cigarette with a snap, “Brother Shaoqing, I find you talk a lot of nonsense.
First, it’s the Ye Family child, then the youngest female General.
Are you broadcasting the evening news?”
Gu Shaoqing’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled, “Brother Chenfeng, don’t be angry.
I was merely reminded of some matters by your surname.”
Ye Family child?
Gu Shaoqing’s implication was too obvious, and Chen Xijun quickly connected it to Ye Chenfeng.
Could it be that Ye Chenfeng was the forgotten child of the Capital Ye Family?
Ye Chenfeng said, “Gu Shaoqing, you really are naive.
If you want to flirt with a girl, then just do it.
Why involve me, a grown man?”
Gu Shaoqing’s face froze, at a loss for words.
Ye Chenfeng had just pierced his thoughts with one sentence.
Yes, he indeed had feelings for Chen Xijun.
Chen Xijun interjected, “Ye Chenfeng, what nonsense are you spouting?
There’s nothing between Young Master Gu and me!”
Ye Chenfeng sneered, “I’m curious, Brother Shaoqing, what do you do exactly?
You seem to know a lot about other people’s business!”
