Chapter 24: The Attack Of The Tycoon (24)

Editor: Atlas Studios

The corridor outside was dimly lit with the only light source produced from the torches held by people beside him.

The few people lying in the corridor held their bodies and moaned in pain.

The boss he saw earlier was shielded by others as he locked eyes with them.

Ye Chen was brought out by the bodyguards at the back and he was not given a chance to speak.

He looked back and the girl indifferently stood in the middle of the corridor. In front of this bunch of people, she had no sense of fear.

Ye Chen had not taken his eyes off the entrance as he was brought into the car.

After half an hour, Chuzheng came out. She carried a school uniform in her hands while her sleeves were rolled up slightly, showing her beautiful wrists as she followed the bodyguards who had a sturdy built.

That posture was similar to the appearance of a Triad’s lady boss on the television screen.

The bodyguard helped to open the car door and fresh air gushed in.

After the car steadily left that place, Ye Chen’s stiff body slowly relaxed.

“How did you… know that I was here?”

“I asked someone.” The answer was short and clear.

“Did you… purposely search for me?”

“Hmm.”

Now, the lonely heart he had for a few years felt as though ripples were formed on the lake which slowly developed into unstoppable huge waves.

Ye Chen gripped both of his hands together and glanced at her. The girl’s brows were lowered while her fingers were tapping the top of her wrists.

The car drove to an unfamiliar place and bumped heavily as Ye Chen fell towards Chuzheng.

His brain bumped into Chuzheng’s shoulder and Ye Chen ear’s turned red as he smelled a flowery aroma on her.

He wanted to get up yet in the end, he tried to lean on her.

The latter nudged him slightly towards the side.

[Little miss, we are trying to be his friend. At this moment, how could you do such a despicable action and push him away!? You must treat him with warm care and concern. Remember, you are his friend~]

King’s voice stopped her action in time.

The car journey lasted for half an hour before stopping outside a small neighborhood.

“Miss Ji, we’ve reached.”

It was the small neighborhood he visited previously.

Chuzheng took out a bag from her school bag and passed it to the opposite party.

The opposite party checked and the fierce look on his face showed a smile. “Miss, thank you for using bodyguard services from Wu Di company. If you ever need us again, please contact us and we will be there. Remember to give us good comments.”

Ye Chen:

Was this service from Taobao?

The cars left one by one and Chuzheng pulled Ye Chen towards the small neighborhood.

“Tss…”

Chuzheng looked back.

Ye Chen tolerated the pain. “I’m fine.”

He was so weak!

Chuzheng walked back and supported him up the stairs.

Ye Chen sat on the sofa while Chuzheng flipped through the house before she stood in the living room and gazed at the empty room.

“Thank you for saving me today.” Originally, he was prepared to fight those people to death but he never knew someone would come and save him.

That person… was someone he had never dared to think about in the past.

“You’re welcome.” Chuzheng supported her chin with a serious look and casually replied to him.

“Is there a problem?” After seeing her look, Ye Chen could not help but feel worried. “Will those people find trouble for you? I…”

Chuzheng turned around and cut him off with a serious look. “Can you go and buy medicine?”

It was too troublesome to head out at night.

Now, her whole body was screaming one word. Troublesome.

How could Little miss say such words! You’re being single out of your own free will!’

King was going crazy.

Ye Chen was also a little stunned.

‘How could he buy medicine when he can’t even walk properly? So she was thinking about this matter for so long?’

“I’ll go buy it myself.”

He had already given her enough trouble yet he still had to trouble her now…

He got up while saying, but fell back down again. Pain surged through his knee.

He furrowed his brows and took in a deep breath before forcefully standing up again.

But in just two steps, he fell back down again. If it was not for Chuzheng’s quick reflexes and for her holding him, he would have bumped into the corner of the sofa.

Ye Chen was very close to Chuzheng at that moment.

Once again, Ye Chen felt his heart pumping faster.

Thump-thump..

Thump-thump, thump-thump…

As though his heart flew out of his mouth.

He stared at Chuzheng’s eyes and placed his hands on her shoulders before pushing her towards him. His adam’s apple moved a little as his lips pressed against Chuzheng’s lips.

The soft touch made Ye Chen’s heart pump faster as his blood bubbled up and he could not think straight.

He bit down on her lips and it was soft and tender with an icy cold breath, similar to her personality.

Chuzheng looked blankly at him and had no reaction.

Ye Chen’s adam’s apple moved as he wanted to carry on, but was pushed back by Chuzheng.

She raised her hand and swiped her lips. “What are you doing?”

Her tone was calm and had no sense of anger as well as the embarrassment most girls would feel as though she was asking the weather why it was so cold.

Ye Chen became frantic.

She had said before that saving him had only been to make him think of her as a friend.

He did not know why he had…

Ye Chen suddenly spoke up. “Ever since my parents died, I carried on the burden myself no matter what happened. I tolerated the pain from illnesses, the cold and everything I could not accept… There were a few times I thought I would die but I didn’t.”

He had not experienced the feeling of being cared about and saved for a long… long time.

His rationality told him that it could all be a scam.

But other than his rationality, he could not help, but think about her. Initially, he thought about her motive but in the later part… he was just purely thinking about her.

Ye Chen immediately came back to his senses. What was he saying?

“I… I’m leaving.”

Ye Chen rushed out of the house. The moment he stepped outside the house, he fell and the pain from his knees spread throughout his four limbs while his heart was in pain too.

He had no right to tell her that.

She was the superior Big Missy from the Ji Family.

She stood in the spotlight with bodyguards in the front and back.

From the start, they never belonged to the same world.

Ye Chen climbed up and walked towards the lift as though he felt no pain.

The lift door had just opened before a hand pushed him towards the side. Ye Chen’s back hit the icy cold wall.

Chuzheng held on the wall with one hand. “Where are you going?”

Ye Chen moved his head away and dared not to look at her. “I’ve given you enough trouble…”

“Go back.” Chuzheng raised her chin towards the house door.

“I…”

“I’m saying this for the last time. Go back.”

“Ji Chuzheng…”

“If you don’t go back, I’m going to break your legs.” Chuzheng fiercely threatened him.

Ye Chen was thrown back on the sofa again. Chuzheng did not glance at him as she kept a straight face and walked out. The door closed with a “Kacha” sound, followed by the locking sound of the door.

Ye Chen was stumped.

Ye Chen leaned on the sofa as his fingers touched his lips. He pressed it down softly as though the taste of her lips was still lingering there.

Ye Chen slumped on the sofa and hugged his knees while staring blankly at the emptiness.

‘Ji Chuzheng…’

‘I think… I like you.’
