Only after being hurt and in pain would one understand that a normal person would not be able to describe that kind of emotional state. Only after experiencing it would one be able to describe it so realistically and make others sympathize with it.
Ling Mengxi did not know why, but at this moment, she felt very upset. What kind of parents would be so cruel to their children? What kind of experience did they have to go through to make the man in front of her so angry?
"It's late. You'd better go back early. I should go too." With that, Ye Chen got up and walked towards the shore.
Seeing Ye Chen leave, Ling Mengxi quickly asked, "I still don't know your name."
"A name is just an illusory thing. Why are you so obsessed with it?" With that, Ye Chen gradually walked away, leaving Ling Mengxi with a lonely and sad back. Then, Ye Chen disappeared into the darkness.
At this time, Ling Mengxi heard Ye Chen's reply and immediately became depressed. She stomped her feet angrily and said angrily, "Why is this person like this? Is it difficult to tell me your name? Is it difficult? "
Ling Mengxi felt frustrated. It had always been others who asked her name, but now, for the first time, she asked a stranger's name, and that person always perfunctorily answered her.
When Ling Mengxi returned to the hotel room gloomily, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Ling Mengxi came to Ye Chen's room and gently knocked on Ye Chen's door. Ye Chen, who was lying on the bed, heard the knock and got up to open the door.
As soon as Ye Chen opened the door, she saw Ling Mengxi standing outside with an unchanged expression.
"Let's talk." Ling Mengxi said coldly. Regardless of whether Ye Chen agreed or not, she walked into Ye Chen's room with light steps. Ling Mengxi came to the room and found a place to sit down.
"Do you know why I came here?" Ling Mengxi stared at Ye Chen.
"If you have something to say, just say it," Ye Chen said directly. He didn't like to beat around the bush.
"No matter how I asked you during the day, you didn't answer me. I thought you were mute," Ling Mengxi said.
"You're the one who made the terms on the marriage agreement. I'm just abiding by them," Ye Chen said calmly.
Hearing this, Ling Mengxi's expression suddenly froze. Was this the reason why he didn't talk to her during the day? I thought he wouldn't abide by it, but I didn't expect …
"Actually, you don't have to follow the rules. It's just a formality …"
"Since you've already signed your name, shouldn't you abide by it? No, isn't that what you want? At the same time, don't worry. I won't pester you for the rest of your life. When the time comes, I'll leave. I won't disturb your life. I know where my place is. "Ye Chen stood in front of the window and stared at the night sky outside. Not interfering in your life and not entering your world. Isn't that what you want?
"If that's the case, then why didn't you object when grandfather wanted us to get married?" Ling Mengxi couldn't help but ask.
"Some people die alone, some people die together. I don't want to be the former. I'm looking for someone who can accompany me through the years of my life. In these five years, I've traveled all over the Divine Lands and more than 220 countries, but I haven't found anyone. And Hua Xia was my last stop. That was the reason why I agreed without even thinking about it when your grandfather said that he wanted to marry you to me. When I first saw you, I felt that you were against your grandfather's arrangement. Then, a few days later, we went to get the marriage certificate. I wanted you to slowly accept me after we got married, but when you asked me to sign the marriage agreement, I realized that my thinking was perhaps too childish. "Ye Chen said. He embarked on this journey when he was 15. As he completed his studies, he searched.
"You … Don't you think that you're doing this a little too early? You have plenty of opportunities and time to find in the future. Why do you have to do it so early? "Ling Mengxi looked at Ye Chen and asked. How old was he? He thought of all these at such a young age.
Women had their own dream of being a prince. On the other hand, men had their own dreams too.
"If I had the experience of a normal person, perhaps I wouldn't have done it so early." Perhaps, a 15-year-old child looking for his so-called other half was not only laughable, but if he had endured billions of years of loneliness and loneliness alone, it wouldn't be a laughable thing.
No matter how others looked at him, as long as they didn't cross his bottom line, he wouldn't say anything. He knew what he was doing and what he was doing.
"Then, have you found her now? Is it Teacher Su? " Ling Mengxi asked. During the day, she was keenly aware that Su Ruobing looked at Ye Chen with an expression as if she had been abandoned by a heartless man. That was not the expression a teacher should have for a student.
"No, we're just friends." Ye Chen said. On the night of Su Ruobing's confession, Ye Chen used his ability to create a very real illusion, making Su Ruobing deeply trapped in the illusion, while he stood in the community park and looked at the stars all night. Therefore, when Ye Chen answered Ling Mengxi, he didn't feel guilty at all. The reason for that was because nothing had happened that night. Everything was under his control.
"Maybe, we can try to be friends first." Ling Mengxi said lightly, "Since Grandpa let us live under the same roof, we can't always be enemies. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends and get along happily."
"Okay." Ye Chen replied without any superfluous nonsense. "What else do you want to see me for?"
"After this outing, Grandpa asked us to go to work in the company. He said that my parents worked hard for most of their lives and went to travel around the world to enjoy themselves. The company is now without a leader. Grandpa is old and has no energy to manage the company, so he left the company to us." Ling Mengxi told him the purpose of this visit.
"So, you know that you are going to manage the company, so you want to take advantage of this seaside outing to relax yourself and then go to work in the company." Ye Chen said. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous to take over a large company at the age of 20.
"Uh huh." Ling Mengxi nodded.
"Your family's company has nothing to do with me. Why do you want me to work there?" Ye Chen asked. Was it because of his relationship with Ling Mengxi?
Ling Mengxi frowned when she heard this. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as if she was asking the obvious. "You can ask Grandpa yourself. Also, Grandpa asked me to tell you that he wants you to be the CEO of the company. So, he wants you to be mentally prepared. "
Ye Chen asked calmly, "Aren't you angry that an outsider like me is taking over your family's business?"
"Although I don't like the marriage that Grandpa arranged for me, I don't mind his other decisions. Grandpa isn't someone who doesn't know how to think. He must have his reasons for doing this. Besides, I believe that you will pay me back when we get divorced," Ling Mengxi said as she pursed her lips.
"Aren't you afraid that I will take it for myself?"
"You can even take out one billion yuan. Do you think you are short of money?" Ling Mengxi asked. At first, she thought that the bank card that Ye Chen gave her was from Elder Tang. But, after some investigation, she realized that it was not Elder Tang's account. It was his own.
Ye Chen did not say a word. He simply looked out the window quietly. Perhaps, I am so poor that all I have left is money.
Ling Mengxi looked at Ye Chen's calm back. She was completely different from the Ye Chen she saw during the day. This made Ling Mengxi curious about Ye Chen's past.
