406: Chapter 406 What will Huang Xian do if you fall in love with me?

Ye Chen paused in his tracks and turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with a touch of oddness.

"You... haven't fallen for me, have you?"

Wen Yating was stunned, her face instantly flushing bright red as she waved her hands frantically. "I haven't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Chen, however, continued to himself.

"If you fall in love with me, what about Huang Xian?"

Wen Yating: "..."

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found she had no idea what to say.

Because...

Ye Chen was right.

The relationship between her and Huang Xian had been seen through by Ye Chen at a single glance back in Yanjing.

Wen Yating took a deep breath and hurriedly changed the subject. "Never mind if she knows or not. Just tell me, are you going to eat this supper or not?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and nodded.

"Fine, I happen to be hungry."

Wen Yating breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face. "Then let's go. My car is right on the asphalt road..."

Before she could finish her sentence.

Her phone suddenly rang.

Wen Yating pulled it out to look, and the name 'Xian'er' was flashing on the screen.

She answered the call.

Huang Xian's nervous voice immediately came from the other end.

"Yating! Where did you go?"

"I woke up and you were gone. You didn't run off to that Underground Boxing Arena by yourself, did you?"

Wen Yating gave a dry cough. "Well... that's right."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xian panicked. "Are you crazy? You dared to go to a place like that alone? Are you okay?"

Wen Yating hurriedly explained, "I'm fine, I'm fine! Something almost happened, but I was saved by someone."

Huang Xian was stunned for a moment.

"Saved by someone? Who?"

"There are no good people in a place like that!"

Wen Yating teased, "Guess?"

Huang Xian grew anxious on the other end of the line.

"Stop keeping me in suspense! Tell me!"

Wen Yating smiled. "It's Ye Chen."

Huang Xian was shocked.

"Huh? Ye Chen?"

"Heavens! You actually ran into him? What are the odds!!!"

One must know...

Ye Chen is now a major celebrity in Yanjing and the Capital.

Who would have thought he'd be running around everywhere and just happen to run into her 'Mirror Friend'?

Wen Yating spoke with a beaming smile.

"I was saying the same thing; it's quite a coincidence."

"By the way, I'm planning to treat him to supper. Are you coming?"

Huang Xian immediately responded, "I must come! I'll wait for you at the Food Stall outside the hotel."

Wen Yating agreed.

"Alright, we're coming over right now."

Hanging up the phone, she looked up at Ye Chen.

"Let's go. Huang Xian is waiting for us at the Food Stall downstairs from the hotel."

Ye Chen nodded and followed Wen Yating to the highway, where they found her lamborghini.

Then.

The two got into the car and sped away.

...

The night deepened.

Central Plains City, Tianshui Street.

The Food Stalls in the Night Market were brightly lit.

Huang Xian sat at a table by the street, looking elegant in a light-colored dress that appeared particularly gentle under the dim lights.

The table was covered with dishes, all standard Night Market fare.

A dozen beers were also placed to the side.

She lowered her head and sent a message to her brother.

[Huang Xian: Bro, Yating and I actually ran into Ye Chen in Central Plains City!]

[Huang Tian: Ye Chen? He's actually in Central Plains City too?]

[Huang Xian: Yeah, we're having supper in a bit. Should I apologize to him for you?]

Her brother had originally been a member of the Dragon Group.

But because he had offended Ye Chen, he was now suspended at home, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Although her brother always said it didn't matter.

She knew very well that he had always wanted to return to his post, but he had never received a notice. Even when her father pulled strings, they were just told to wait.

On the other end, Huang Tian was silent for several seconds before replying.

[Huang Tian: No need. My, Huang Tian's, sister cannot beg that bastard.]

[Huang Xian: Bro, sometimes you shouldn't be so stubborn. It's better to be on good terms with someone like Ye Chen than bad terms. It's just an apology.]

[Huang Tian: Say no more, I'm going to sleep!]

...

Watching her brother's refusal to bow his head, Huang Xian gave a sigh.

Forget it!

She would apologize herself later.

Just as she was wondering how to bring it up...

Suddenly!

A drunken man came wobbling over.

He was a Middle-aged Man in his forties with a fleshy face, reeking of alcohol.

He walked to Huang Xian's side, plopped down onto the chair next to her, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Little sister, all alone?"

Huang Xian's brow furrowed slightly. "I have friends coming; they'll be here soon."

Her words were already quite blunt, stopping just short of directly telling him to get lost!

But as a noble daughter of the Huang Family, her lifelong upbringing prevented her from behaving like a shrew shouting in the street.

The drunkard seemed not to understand and leaned in with a chuckle, his gaze unscrupulously scanning Huang Xian's body.

"Friends? Male or female?"

"If you ask me, don't wait. How about having a drink with big brother?"

As the smell of alcohol wafted toward her, Huang Xian's frown deepened. "My friends will be here any moment. Please leave immediately."

Instead of leaving, the drunkard laughed even more wantonly.

"Oh, quite a temper?"

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll leave after this drink."

He reached out to grab a beer bottle from the table while his other hand moved to grab Huang Xian's wrist.

Huang Xian's expression changed, and she hurriedly pulled her hand back to avoid him, shifting her whole body backward.

"Boss!" she called out loudly.

The next second.

A Middle-aged Man wearing an apron ran over quickly upon hearing her, his face full of forced smiles.

"Coming, coming!"

"Miss, do you need anything..."

Before he could finish.

He saw the drunkard's face clearly, and the smile on his face froze.

"Bo... Boss Mu?"

The drunkard squinted at him. "What?"

Sweat instantly broke out on the boss's forehead as he offered an apologetic smile.

"Boss Mu, this table is taken. Why don't you change seats?"

"I'll serve you the best dishes, and the drinks are on the house..."

Before he could finish.

Slap!

A crisp slap landed heavily on the boss's face.

The boss stumbled backward, clutching his face with an expression of shock and fear.

The drunkard spoke coldly, "Scram, this is none of your business."

The boss clutched his face, his expression both terrified and helpless.

"Boss Mu, this lady is my guest. If you do this..."

"How can I do business?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Mu gave a cold laugh. "Business? Then don't do it! Think I won't have someone wreck your stall?"

As his voice fell.

At several nearby tables, seven or eight thugs who had been drinking and eating skewers all stood up in unison.

Each of them rolled up their sleeves to reveal colorful tattoos, staring menacingly at the boss.

The meaning was obvious...

One more word of nonsense and they would start wrecking the place.

The boss's face turned pale, but after hesitating for a moment, he spoke again. "I..."

However.

Before he could finish, Boss Mu suddenly raised his foot and kicked the boss hard in the stomach.

"Ow!"

The boss let out a cry of pain and stumbled backward before falling to the ground.

Without sparing him another glance, Boss Mu looked at Huang Xian and leaned forward with a grin.

"Little sister, no one will disturb us now."

"Come, come, come, have a drink with big brother."

He reached out again to grab Huang Xian's wrist.

Huang Xian's expression went completely cold.

Since she was a child, when had she ever been treated like this?

In Yanjing, she was the eldest miss of the Huang Family, pampered and revered wherever she went.

In Central Plains City, she was actually being harassed in the street by a drunken thug?

She suddenly stood up and grabbed a beer bottle from the table.

Bang!!!

The bottle was smashed hard against the drunkard's forehead!

Glass shards flew everywhere!

Beer mixed with blood flowed rapidly down Boss Mu's forehead!

Boss Mu stood frozen in place, looking at Huang Xian in disbelief.

He reached up to touch his forehead, and his hand came away covered in blood.

"You bitch, you dare hit me?"

He let out a roar and suddenly pulled out a Switchblade from his waist, lunging toward Huang Xian!

Huang Xian's expression changed, and she instinctively moved to retreat.

But there was a table behind her; she couldn't retreat at all.

Seeing the knife about to reach her...

Just then.

A large hand reached out from the side and lightly gripped Boss Mu's wrist that was holding the knife.

Then.

With a slight exert of force.

Crack!

The crisp sound of bone snapping echoed in the night air!

Boss Mu's wrist was snapped and bent on the spot.

"Ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream erupted from his throat!

The Switchblade fell to the ground.

Ye Chen let go and kicked him in the chest.

Boss Mu was sent flying, toppling three or four tables before rolling into the stinking ditch by the roadside.
