Chapter 24: The long-awaited crystal is free?

Italy.
Staying on weekends is particularly difficult for Ye Sicheng, and he feels like he is counting the seconds every day. In the past few nights, Ye Sicheng tossed and turned, couldn't sleep, just got up to work, and when he was tired, he picked up his mobile phone and looked at Qin Yumeng's photos, and kept seeing it in a daze. What's going on? In the past few days, he has always had a feeling of gaining and losing, which is particularly uncomfortable.
Huang Chuhan pushed his glasses, looked at his watch, and walked into the room, "Boss, it's seven o'clock in the morning, we can go." β
"Hmm. Let's go. Ye Sicheng's bloodshot eyes looked up at Huang Chuhan.
"Wow! Top dog! You haven't slept for the past few days, have you?! Huang Chuhan couldn't help but take a closer look.
"Buy me a bottle of energy drink." Ye Sicheng stood up to himself and walked into the bedroom to change clothes.
"Boss, if you go on like this, you're going to burst your liver!" Huang Chuhan didn't think much about it, and followed Ye Sicheng into the bedroom.
"You want to see my nakedness?" Ye Sicheng had already unbuttoned his shirt three times, grabbed his clothes with his hand, and turned to look at Huang Chuhan who was following behind.
"Uh...... No, no, no...... I'm out. As soon as the voice fell, the door slammed shut.

When Ye Sicheng arrived at the perimeter of the crystal owner's residence, it was eight o'clock in the morning.
"Boss, we're here." Huang Chuhan stepped down from the co-pilot, opened the door of the back seat, and gently pushed Ye Sicheng.
Ye Sicheng opened his eyes suddenly, red and bloodshot all over his eyes, and suddenly couldn't adapt to the sunlight shining through the car window, half-squinted his eyes, and stretched out his hand to block the light.
"I don't think it's time to meet yet, why don't we find a place to have breakfast first?" Huang Chuhan proposed, took out a pack of convenient face towels from his bag, opened the mineral water and wet the face towel, and handed it to Ye Sicheng.
"Okay." Ye Sicheng was really a little hungry and responded. Stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, took the face towel handed over by Huang Chuhan, and carefully wiped his face to make himself sober up as soon as possible.
"I see there's a breakfast shop opposite, it feels pretty good, why don't you try it?" Although Huang Chuhan is Ye Sicheng's secretary and has seen a lot of the world, he can learn from Ye Sicheng to maintain his usual serious expression, but for food, he still can't help revealing his true form.
Ye Sicheng got out of the car and smoothed the white shirt on his body, "Well, you arrange." Regarding Huang Chuhan's foodie level and vision of blending food, Ye Sicheng can still trust it. followed Huang Chuhan to eat, and he didn't seem to have eaten anything unpalatable so far.
"Okay." Huang Chuhan's eyes are almost glowing, and now what can enter his eyes is only food, not a boss.
"Where's his address?" Ye Sicheng followed behind Huang Chuhan, suddenly remembered something, and deliberately raised his voice to ask Huang Chuhan a question, wanting to use his voice to stop Huang Chuhan, who had already rushed to the breakfast shop.
"Huh?" Huang Chuhan heard Ye Sicheng's voice from behind, and immediately stopped, "Hehe, I'm sorry, boss......"
Huang Chuhan retracted his indecent expression, his face immediately put on a serious expression, and he raised his hand and pointed ahead, "Boss, the location is in the house with the flag in front of the door." β
"Okay, settle breakfast as soon as possible." Ye Sicheng walked towards the breakfast shop and walked in first.
"Okay, Boss. What do you want to eat? β

After breakfast, Ye Sicheng raised his hand and looked at his watch, and the clock showed half past eight. Reaching out and sweeping his hair, "Is my hairstyle normal?" β
"Uh......" Huang Chuhan still stuffed bread in his mouth, and raised his eyes to look at Ye Sicheng. Today's boss is really weird, and he actually took the initiative to ask him how his hairstyle was? I usually go to the bathroom to deal with it by myself......
"Look at me and I'll know the answer?" Ye Sicheng was obviously very dissatisfied with Huang Chuhan's reaction.
"I didn't ...... Didn't ......" Huang Chuhan hurriedly swallowed the bread and straightened his waist, "Boss, you are also very handsome today!" β
"Yes, okay." Ye Sicheng inadvertently began to grind his hands, and his palms were a little sweaty. What's wrong with him? He's actually a little nervous? Ye Sicheng uneasily picked up the iced coffee on the table and took a big sip to suppress his nervousness.
"Boss, I really think you are very handsome, in addition to your appearance, you also have that kind of love for Miss Qin." For Ye Sicheng, the boss, Huang Chuhan admired it from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't expect Qin Yumeng's casual words to make Ye Sicheng spend so much effort to find it.
"Hmm......" At the mention of Qin Yumeng, the corners of Ye Sicheng's mouth unconsciously rose, but this happiness was fleeting, and it turned into a disappointed expression. I hope that this crystal can make his baby Qin Yumeng forgive him.
"Boss?" Huang Chuhan looked at Ye Sicheng in a daze at the coffee cup in his hand, his expression was subtle, and he called out cautiously.
"Let's go, it's almost time." After Ye Sicheng poured the last sip of coffee into his mouth, he stood up and walked out.
"Ah...... Top dog...... Wait...... Wait for me. Huang Chuhan stuffed the remaining piece of meat on the plate into his mouth, grabbed the bag next to him, got up and chased it out.
"You say, why does this crystal owner want to see me?" Ye Sicheng still had a slight doubt, and turned around and asked Huang Chuhan.
"Estimated...... Just wonder who is interested in his crystals? Huang Chuhan pushed his glasses and thought seriously.
At this time, Ye Sicheng's mobile phone rang, it was Lu Yangshuo's phone.
"You're a little slow this time." Ye Sicheng picked up the phone and began to dislike Lu Yangshuo.
"Third brother, don't be like this......" Lu Yangshuo's recent audit by Xinze Yu Floodlight has also been done day and night, his head is big, and he will actually forget about Ye Sicheng's matter for a while.
"Say."
"I've been checking here for a long time, and this man is really just an ordinary farmer, single, living alone."
"Okay. Hung up. β
"Wait......" This time Lu Yangshuo was ready and stopped Ye Sicheng from hanging up the phone before he could speak again.
"What's wrong?"
"What about the resignation of the third sister-in-law? I ......"
"Let her go, anyway, my money is enough for her to spend."
"Okay. Then I'll hang up. After Lu Yangshuo finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, and then had a victorious expression, "Hmph, let me also taste the feeling of hanging up the phone first." β
"......" Ye Sicheng listened to the busy sound in the mobile phone, a little speechless, this Lu Yangshuo is also naΓ―ve enough. He turned off the screen of his phone and put it in the pocket of his coat. Well, the owner of this crystal is an ordinary man, so there is no need for him to be nervous, and his face doesn't look like a bad person, so the other party won't be easy to give it to him.

"Boss, it's here." Huang Chuhan stopped, took the lead in stepping on a few flights of stairs, stood in front of the door, stretched out his hand and paused, and then knocked on the door with a little force.
After a few knocks, the door slowly opened, and it was a middle-aged man with a thick beard and amber eyes, wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand, apparently making breakfast.
"......" Huang Chuhan suddenly became a little speechless, bad, he set off in too much hurry and forgot to find a translator...... He hurriedly glanced back at Ye Sicheng and asked him for help.
Ye Sicheng didn't panic, walked up, opened his mouth and spoke fluent English.
"Hello."
"Hello, come in." The Italian man replied in fluent English, opened the door, and walked towards the kitchen by himself.
After Ye Sicheng and Huang Chuhan looked at each other, they walked into the house one after another, and Huang Chuhan stretched out his hand to close the door.
"Sit down and have breakfast, haven't you?" The Italian man was still busy in the kitchen, and when he saw Ye Sicheng and Huang Chuhan entering the house, he asked.
"Eat." Ye Sicheng quickly swept the house, the ordinary decoration, some wall cloths fell off slightly, there were a few simple ornaments on the fireplace, and a few books neatly placed on the coffee table, the air in the whole house was fresh, not like a single old man's house with a strange smell.
"Sit down." The Italian man walked over with a water glass, pointed to the sofa, and sat down on the single sofa first.
"Well, okay, thank you." Ye Sicheng sat down opposite the man, and Huang Chuhan also sat down next to him.
"This gentleman...... Oh, Mr. Ye, I heard that you are interested in my crystal? The Italian man took a sip of water and opened his mouth first.
"Yes, Mr. Dante."
"I want to know, why do you want this crystal?"
"Mr. Dante, this crystal is my wife's favorite, you know, I love my wife very much, so I have been trying to find it, but I didn't expect to find this crystal here in Mr. Dante." Ye Sicheng's face did not change, and he panicked a little.
"Oh, I can see that Mr. Ye loves your wife very much."
"So, Mr. Dante, can you sell me this crystal?" Ye Sicheng couldn't wait a little and went straight to the point.
Actually, Mr. Ye ...... I'm not going to trade this crystal either......" The Italian man paused deliberately and took another sip of water.
Ye Sicheng watched the other party's movements, began to get nervous, and leaned forward slightly, "Mr. Dante, what does this mean?" Do you agree to sell me crystals? β
"It's not. In fact, this crystal was only inadvertently picked up on the farm, and I was reluctant to collect it because of its beautiful color. Now that you like it so much, I can give it to you. β
"Send?" Regarding the Italian man's reply, Ye Sicheng began to be curious, "Is Mr. Dent willing to give it to me?" β
"It's okay to send it, but Mr. Ye, can you tell me what your wife's name is?"
Dante's question made Ye Sicheng even more depressed, this crystal owner was not interested in trading, but was interested in what Qin Yumeng was called? Ye Sicheng pondered for a while, and did not intend to hide, so he truthfully said Qin Yumeng's name.
"Her name is Qin Yumeng."
"Qin Yumeng......" Dante repeated, then stood up, "Okay, you wait for me." He turned and hurried upstairs.
"Mr. Dante......" Ye Sicheng couldn't stop Dante, so he went upstairs.
As soon as Dante went upstairs, he saw a woman in a wheelchair at the top of the stairs, with a beautiful face and black hair draped over her collarbone, making it impossible to guess the woman's age.
Dante was about to speak, but the woman quickly motioned for her not to speak, turned the direction of the wheelchair, and slid into the room. Dante nodded, followed the woman into the room, and after reaching out to see if there was anyone at the bottom of the stairs, he gently closed the door.
"How's it going?" The woman asked, with her back to Dante, looking out the window at the tree.
"Madam, I have already asked clearly, this crystal was specially found by Mr. Ye for Miss Qin."
"Oh...... Is it ......" the woman paused, then took the box in her arms to Dante, "Take it to him." β
"This ...... Madame, do you really want to give it to him? Dante took the box, still uncertain.
"Hmm. Give it to him. β
"But ......"
"Dante, I naturally have my considerations."
"Okay...... Dante glanced at the box in his hand, "I'll take it then." β
Dante took the box, went downstairs, and saw Ye Sicheng sitting upright on the sofa, and walked towards him with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, this is your crystal."
Ye Sicheng stood up, reached out to take the box, gently opened it to confirm the crystal inside, and closed it again, "Then thank you, Mr. Dante." β
"Have breakfast?" With a smile on his face, Dante pointed to the breakfast on the prep table.
"Thank you, no, we've already eaten. Then let's go back first. Although Ye Sicheng's expression was calm, he was invincible and excited in his heart. From the moment he took over the crystal box, his hand kept grasping hard, for fear that if he couldn't grasp it tightly, it would not be in his hand in the next second.
"Okay, we'll see you later." Dante had already re-entered the kitchen and beckoned to Ye Sicheng.
Will there be a period later? How could this Mr. Dante say something so strange? Ye Sicheng looked at Dante for a few seconds, didn't say anything, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of the house and walked to the path, Huang Chuhan came up, "Boss, congratulations!" This trip to Italy is really a good harvest! β
"Well, I didn't expect it to go so well." Ye Sicheng has been protecting the box in his hand, and finally smiled.
"But, Boss, what do you mean when you say that there will be a period in the future? Does he think we'll meet again? β
"Well, I also think this Mr. Dante is talking very strangely." Ye Sicheng reached out and touched the box again, "No matter how much, book the fastest ticket and go back to China!" β
"Okay, boss!"
"Oh! That's right! Ye Sicheng stopped, turned his head to look at Huang Chuhan, "If you have time, go to an English cram school." β
Belch...... Well, Huang Chuhan was very frustrated by the fact that he couldn't speak half a sentence of English just now, so he could only smile awkwardly, "Yes!" Go back and do it right away. β
