CHAPTER 708: CHAPTER 682: YOU CAN’T BUY ME WITH MONEY

Ye Chen hurriedly pushed Xiaoya aside and ran towards the bathroom.

This little minx is really too tempting; if he didn’t leave immediately, he really didn’t know what he might end up doing.

Seeing Ye Chen leave, a smug smile appeared on Xiaoya’s lips.

Ye Chen arrived at the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and kept washing his face with cold water. After the fire of desire in his heart was greatly reduced, he went inside to relieve himself.

After doing all this, the feelings stirred up by the little minx calmed down significantly.

Just as he was about to leave the bathroom, he suddenly noticed a man standing at the door, blocking his way.

The young man in front of him was wearing an Armani suit, sporting a trendy hairstyle, and had a look of condescension on his face.

"A good dog doesn’t block the road," Ye Chen said flatly.

The young man’s mouth twitched, but his face showed no anger; instead, he smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Sun Ze, my grandfather is the head of the Sun Group, and I am his direct grandson."

Sun Ze proudly introduced himself, then asked, "You must have heard of the Sun Group, right? It’s one of the top companies in Hu Hai, if not the whole country."

He expected to see surprise or even envy in Ye Chen’s eyes, but Ye Chen’s gaze remained indifferent, even unconcerned.

To stop the young man in front of him from bragging any further, Ye Chen said expressionlessly, "What is this Sun Group thing? Never heard of it."

Sun Ze’s mouth twitched again, and though there was a hint of anger on his face, he didn’t act on it.

In fact, Ye Chen deliberately antagonized him. From the moment he entered the KTV box, he noticed this young man always looked at Xiaoya with ill intentions, like a hungry wolf spotting delicious food.

Although he and Xiaoya weren’t in that kind of relationship, he didn’t want such a nice girl to fall into the hands of someone like that.

"Bro, it’s okay, it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it." Sun Ze restrained the anger in his heart and continued smiling.

Perhaps years of family education and influence had developed in him the skill of hiding his emotions.

Ye Chen looked at Sun Ze, who was suppressing his anger, and found it amusing: "Trying to show off in front of me, you still have a long way to go, don’t you know I’m known as King Bi?"

He ignored Sun Ze and continued to walk out, but Sun Ze blocked him again.

Just now, Sun Ze noticed that as soon as this young man entered, Xiaoya was revolving around him, presumably close friends.

Hence, he thought of breaking through from this guy and getting some information.

Being blocked by Sun Ze again, Ye Chen was, of course, unhappy. He wasn’t one to fake politeness and said coldly, "Move aside."

Sun Ze still maintained a smile on his face, politely saying, "I still don’t know your name."

"Ye Chen," Ye Chen replied flatly.

"Oh, Ye Chen, nice to meet you." Sun Ze extended his hand with a smile.

Ye Chen didn’t shake his hand, as from Sun Ze’s way of calling him, he thought this guy was too arrogant.

Sun Ze was a few years younger than Ye Chen, and he should have called him "Brother Ye" or "Brother Chen," but instead, he used his full name, which was extremely disrespectful.

Seeing Ye Chen not extending his hand, Sun Ze awkwardly retracted his own: "Ye Chen, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What do you need help with?" Ye Chen asked in return, wanting to see what Sun Ze was up to.

"Oh, it’s actually nothing much. I see you’re very close to Xiaoya, and I want to often learn some news about her from you. To be honest, I like Xiaoya, but her attitude towards me is very cold." Sun Ze expressed his request.

While speaking, he took out a wad of cash from his wallet and handed it to Ye Chen: "Of course, I won’t let you help for free. This is your reward, and I’ll pay you monthly. If I can pursue Xiaoya successfully, I’ll give you a big thank-you gift."

Ye Chen smiled, taking that wad of cash from Sun Ze’s hand.

Seeing Ye Chen’s actions, a look of disdain flashed across Sun Ze’s face: "A poor person is still a poor person, so blinded by money."

When Ye Chen tossed the money into the trash can, Sun Ze’s face turned unsightly.

"Sorry, I’m not someone you can buy with money. Your money is in the trash can, go pick it up." With that, Ye Chen turned around and left.

Leaving Sun Ze staring dumbfounded at the money in the trash can, this just doesn’t make sense. Sun Ze had grown up believing money could solve everything, but it seemed it wasn’t working on the young man in front of him.

If he knew Ye Chen’s true identity, he would probably be shocked beyond belief, as this amount of money was negligible to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen walked back into the private room, looked around, and saw Xiaoya chatting with a few of her girlfriends.

He quietly moved to a sofa in the corner. Thinking back on Sun Ze’s behavior, he found it amusing. What an idiot, thinking he could buy him with money; what a laughable idea.

Out of the corner of her eye, Xiaoya spotted Ye Chen. She got up and walked over to him, and then threw herself onto the sofa next to him.

Luckily, Ye Chen dodged in time, otherwise, that little minx would have landed right on him.

Seeing Ye Chen avoid her, Xiaoya first pouted, then gave a mischievous smile.

She kept squeezing towards Ye Chen, and Ye Chen kept dodging, the two playing a game of squeeze and dodge, until Ye Chen had nowhere left to retreat, and the game ended.

At this moment, Xiaoya’s girlfriends also came over, and seeing the two of them, they found it amusing.

At this moment, Ye Chen looked helpless, while Xiaoya was quite smug.

The girlfriends watched Sun Ze enter the room, looking envious as they gossiped about Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya, you are so lucky to have such an excellent man like Sun Ze interested in you, I’m so jealous of you."

"I heard Xiaoya is Sun Ze’s first crush. To only like one person for three years is so dedicated."

"As the heir of the Sun Group, Sun Ze isn’t like other rich second generations who are fickle and love anyone they meet; he’s not only humorous and charming but also very kind-hearted."

"Yeah, I heard he asks his grandpa to donate to the Hope Project every year to help those kids who can’t afford schooling; you rarely find men like him even with a lantern."

"Xiaoya, you better hold on to him. A man like that is hard to come by, and you’re always so cold to him; anyone would not endure it. If Sun Ze meets another girl he likes, you won’t have time to cry."

Listening to the chatter of her girlfriends, Xiaoya’s face turned unpleasant, her small fists clenched tightly, ready to erupt when Ye Chen gave her a look, signaling her not to speak.

Ye Chen knew some of these girlfriends were bought off by Sun Ze, while others just went with the flow.

Sun Ze was really cunning, going to such lengths to pursue Xiaoya.

Ye Chen decided to make a big move, the words he said next left the girlfriends speechless, but Xiaoya was overjoyed.
