Out of the main entrance of the banquet hall, I saw Ye Jingchi from a distance.

The man is tall and straight, and even at night when the lights are dim, he can be spotted in the crowd at a glance.

Ruan Ling was just about to step forward.

System: [To release the main quest, you need to behave intimately with Ye Jingchi in front of everyone and declare your sovereignty to everyone. 】

Ruan Ling paused and wondered, "Why?" ”

The system flipped through the database: [In the original book, Ye Jingchi treated you coldly in front of everyone, letting everyone know that you have no feelings for him, and some people also moved their minds to talk to you. You are very dissatisfied with this scene, so you come forward to declare your sovereignty. 】

Ruan Ling: "So now, hasn't the development of things been changed?" ”

System: [The trigger conditions for the main quest are very complicated. Now someone in the original book should be in the crowd and wants to talk to Ye Jingchi, so this quest is triggered. 】

Ruan Ling: "......"

She sighed: "Ye Xu." ”

Ye Xu turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Ruan Ling: "You wait for me here first." ”

Ye Xu: "......?" ”

The young man was a little inexplicably ingenious, but he still nodded obediently: "Okay." ”

……

Next to Ye Jingchi stood a middle-aged man who had made some fortune, and there were also some people around.

The owner of a food company surnamed Wang has been looking for opportunities to get close to Ye Jingchi before, but he is suffering from insufficient identity and no one has introduced him.

Now that he finally caught Ye Jingchi at the end of the banquet, Boss Wang's face was full of flattery, chattering to Ye Jingchi to introduce the company's newly developed products.

It's just that Ye Jingchi doesn't seem to be very interested, and occasionally responds, and his gaze drifts away from time to time.

Seeing this, Boss Wang's heart was anxious, and he was already sweating all over his head.

In the past two years, their company's business has become more and more sluggish, and Boss Wang pointed out that this conversation with Ye Jingchi tonight can turn things around.

Ye Jingchi and Ye Shi were his last straws.

Boss Wang took a deep breath and continued to show his three-inch incorruptible tongue.

At this moment, the corners of Ye Jingchi's lips suddenly rose slightly.

Boss Wang was overjoyed, thinking that his lobbying had finally achieved results, and he was about to make persistent efforts.

However, the next moment, Boss Wang found that Ye Jingchi's eyes fell on the woman in the red dress who came not far away.

Seeing Ruan Ling appear, the people who were originally surrounding Ye Jingchi had already made a way out of the way.

Ruan Ling Shi Ran stepped forward.

Ye Jingchi whispered to Boss Wang, "Wait a minute", and then looked at Ruan Ling, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

"Finished talking?" Ye Jingchi asked.

Ruan Ling said "um".

Her eyes surveyed Ye Jingchi for a moment, then walked to his right and reached out to put her hand on Ye Jingchi's arm.

The slender fingers rested lightly on the fabric of the man's suit, just holding on to it, making it almost impossible to feel any weight.

Ye Jingchi's expression was slightly condensed.

Then, bend your arm in an arc as if nothing happened

It's a little bigger. ()

Ruan Ling's eyebrows moved.

Is it so self-conscious?

So Ruan Ling's fingers also increased a little harder, and clasped more tightly on the crook of the man's arm.

The appearance of the two was the most prominent in the audience, and now they stand side by side, like a pair of stars walking the red carpet.

Ye Jingchi would take his wife to show affection so blatantly, and everyone looked at him straightly.

And some people who were still a little cautious and wanted to talk to Ye Jingchi and his wife when they were separated were also forced to dispel their thoughts.

System: [The task is judged successful.] 】

Ruan Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.

What else did she prepare say before she could say it, so it was so simple to determine that it was successful?

With a meaningful gaze at Shangye Jingchi, Ruan Ling silently pulled his fingers back.

In the next second, Ye Jingchi raised his left hand as if unintentionally and patted it on the back of Ruan Ling's hand, just right to stop her movements.

It's strange that Ye Jingchi looks like such a calm and self-controlled person, but the temperature of his palm is a cut higher than Ruan Ling's.

Ruan Ling was stunned by the sudden warm touch, and then her fingers were gently pinched by the man.

The force was not large, but it happened to make her feel it clearly, like some kind of reminder.

Then Ye Jingchi withdrew his left hand, looked at Boss Wang without changing his face and said: "Regarding the new product, you can communicate directly with Lao Tang, he is responsible for food-related investment." ”

Boss Wang's face froze, and he didn't know what this meant by refusal.

The "Old Tang" in Ye Jingchi's mouth is an executive of the Ye family, and Boss Wang's investment request has been rejected there a long time ago.

It's just that Boss Wang is really desperate, so he wants to take the opportunity of this charity dinner to find Ye Jingchi himself, hoping to get a glimmer of opportunity.

Boss Wang glanced at Ruan Ling, and there was a bit of inconspicuous resentment in his eyes.

He thought that he had just talked about the most exciting part, if Ruan Ling had come two minutes late, maybe Mr. Ye would have been moved by him.

Boss Wang actually didn't dare to slap Mrs. Ye in person, but in great disappointment, he didn't control his expression for a while, and showed his inner thoughts on his face.

Almost at the same time, Boss Wang sensed a hint of coldness.

In his ears was Ye Jingchi's deep and indifferent voice: "Whether the previous order is renewed or not, I will also let Old Tang evaluate it again." ”

One sentence caught Boss Wang by surprise, and he was suddenly shocked: "Mr. Ye, I-"

Ye Jingchi's expression was cold: "For the rest of the things, let's directly let Old Tang communicate with you." I'm leaving with my family, and I'm out of company. ”

After speaking, Ye Jingchi looked at Ruan Ling again and smiled: "Let's go." ”

Ruan Ling: "Hmm. ”

Boss Wang could only watch the husband and wife slowly leave, their faces like ashes.

And the people around him confirmed a fact more and more in their hearts.

Ye Jingchi is 100% protective of his wife, if he wants to get benefits from Mr. Ye, he must not offend Mrs. Ye.

Many people also bought gifts overnight, ready to find an opportunity to give them to Ruan Ling.

After all, the sentence just now is also true in reverse.

As long as you can win Mrs. Ye's favor, it will be natural

() can make Ye Jingchi look at it differently.

.

Ruan Ling found Ye Xu who was standing not far away, and found that the young man's expression was a little complicated.

Ruan Ling chuckled: "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Xu looked a little speechless: "You asked me to wait here just to ......"

Grab his dad's arm?

Ye Xu's eyesight was very good, and of course he could see it clearly, and when Ruan Ling came back to look for him, he slowly let go of the hand that was holding the crook of Ye Jingchi's arm.

Ruan Ling smiled: "Can't you?" ”

Of course, she didn't want to avoid this, so she didn't let Ye Xu follow.

It's just that Ruan Ling originally thought that it would be more difficult for the system to determine the conditions for the success of the mission.

Inevitably, her words shocked Ye Xu's young heart, so she didn't let Ye Xu follow her.

Ye Xu was silent for a moment, and said sullenly: "...... I didn't stop you from holding hands, you can pull it if you want, and you don't have to avoid me. ”

As he spoke, he gave them a quick glance at the two of them, and then looked away again.

Ye Jingchi heard a low laugh in his ears.

Ruan Ling and Ye Xu looked over at the same time.

The man's expression was light and light: "Xiao Xu has grown up." ”

Ye Xu: "......?" ”

The boy glared angrily at his father.

I usually call him by his big name, why did he say the sentence just now, and suddenly he started to call him "Xiao Xu"?

He didn't say that just to please him!

Seeing this, Ye Jingchi even apologized to Ye Xu seriously: "I'm sorry, tonight, the people around me are calling this in their ears." After listening to it a lot, it will be smooth. ”

This is true, in order to show intimacy, the people who come forward to talk to Ye Jingchi will call Ye Xu "Xiao Xu".

Hearing this, Ye Xu's expression became more complicated.

Neither is accepting an apology, nor is it not accepting.

Ruan Ling looked at the awkward father and son from the side, and couldn't help laughing.

"Alright, alright." Ruan Ling patted Ye Xu on the shoulder, "Xiao Xu is Xiao Xu, it's also very good." Both of you father and son have known each other for so long, so what are you doing in life? ”

When Ruan Ling patted Ye Xu on the shoulder, the young man's body stiffened, and after listening to her, he became even stiffer.

The man next to him looked easy-going and understanding: "It's okay, what does Xiao Xu think?" ”

Ye Xu: "......"

After a pause for a few seconds, the boy lowered his eyes and said, "Whatever you want." ”

……

The three went to the parking lot, and the driver was already waiting.

When Ruan Ling got in the car this time, Ye Jingchi took the initiative to help her lift the corner of her skirt, and then sat in the back row.

Ye Xu paused in the back and glanced at the back seat that could accommodate one person.

After hesitating, Ye Xu silently went to the co-pilot in front.

Ye Jingchi helped Ruan Ling straighten out her skirt, then took a bottle of pure water from the side of the car door and handed it to Ruan Ling.

When Ruan Ling finally leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, Ye Jingchi asked, "How was the chat with them in the banquet hall just now?" ”

"Not bad." Ruan Ling took a sip of water and said casually, "The old man of the Meng family is very kind and easy to talk to. ”

Ye Jingchi's expression was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. ()

"Really? Ye Jingchi said thoughtfully.

The author's new resignation reminds you that the most complete "The Stepmother of the Wealthy Villain of the Campus Literary Male Protagonist" is all in [],Domain name[()]?『 Come on[]. See the latest chapters. Complete Chapters'()

He and Old Man Meng have known each other for a long time, so they have naturally seen the kind side of the old man, but what he remembers more deeply is the scene where the old man made the audience dare not speak with just one sentence.

Except for Ruan Ling, I'm afraid no one will use the word "kindness" to evaluate Old Man Meng.

Ruan Ling nodded: "Well, and I think Old Man Meng's taste is really good, that glutinous rice pork rib that I love the most, is the old man's own improved method." He also promised me a copy of the recipe for the marinade. ”

"By the way, if you don't say I almost forgot." Ruan Ling said again, "How about I give the formula to Aunt Zhang and ask her to study and add it to our menu?" ”

Ye Jingchi smiled: "Of course, the menu at home is as good as you like." ”

Ruan Ling raised his voice and asked, "Ye Xu, what about you, do you like to eat glutinous rice pork ribs?" ”

Ye Xu seemed to be sleeping in the front seat, with a headset on his head.

But in fact, there was no song in the headphones, and he kept his ears pricked up, listening to the conversation between the two.

&n

bsp; After a pause, Ye Xu's voice came from the front: "It's okay." ”

Ruan Ling was satisfied: "That's good, then I'll talk to Aunt Zhang tomorrow." ”

Ye Jingchi pulled the topic back again: "Have you seen Su Qin too?" What did you talk to her? ”

Ruan Linggang wanted to answer, but after thinking about it, he looked at Ye Jingchi again: "What are you doing when you inquire so clearly?" ”

Ye Jingchi's tone was understated: "It's just curious." ”

Ruan Ling stared at the man for two seconds.

Ye Jingchi's eyebrows raised slightly: "What?" ”

Ruan Ling said reasonably: "You said that when Su Junruo's mother started her business, Su Junruo was still in kindergarten L. You met her at that time, which means that you have been friends for at least ten years. ”

Ye Jingchi let out a faint "um".

Ruan Ling: "Are you worried that Su Junruo's mother will tell me some secrets related to you, the kind that no one knows?" ”

Ye Jingchi asked lightly: "What secrets do you want to know?" ”

Ruan Ling thought to herself, that's more.

For example, she is very curious, this man's love history.

It stands to reason that with such external conditions as Ye Jingchi, coupled with the identity of the Ye family's ruler, how can the opposite sex who has thoughts about him have to queue up for a long time, right?

But in front of the driver and Ye Xu, it was not easy to ask.

Ye Jingchi probably guessed her thoughts, and looked at her deeply: "If you want to know, I can tell you in person when I go home." ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

She calmly pulled the topic back: "However, I had a good chat with Su Junruo's mother. ”

Ye Jingchi had a willing expression: "Oh? ”

Ruan Ling: "We talked about Su Junruo first, and also mentioned Su Junruo and Ye Xu by the way."

When she said it, she said it in a very calm gossip and homely tone, and her voice was not loud.

However, before the words fell, I saw half of the shoulders leaking out of the front row of Ye Xu, and it became obviously stiff.

The corners of Ruan Ling's lips raised slightly.

Sure enough, she was eavesdropping, and she caught it

() 。

However, Ruan Ling just planned to tease Ye Xu, and did not plan to really discuss the relationship between Su Junruo and Ye Xu with Ye Jingchi.

The feelings of high school students are actually very simple, it is better to let them deal with it themselves, and adults are not a last resort, so it is best not to interfere.

Ruan Ling felt that Ye Jingchi should have the same idea.

Therefore, when Ruan Ling said this, he changed the topic: "Then, I talked to Su Junruo's mother about some things related to entrepreneurship. Although I only opened a personal studio, there are similarities, and Su Junruo's mother gave me a lot of advice. ”

In the short conversation in the banquet hall just now, Su Qin did give Ruan Ling a lot of useful advice.

In addition to the universal advice that works for every entrepreneur, Su Qin also came up with some ideas specifically for photography studios.

For example, Su Qin suggested that Ruan Ling could consider cooperating with clothing stores to carry out some joint activities, or find clothing manufacturers to make some unique shooting costumes.

Ruan Ling originally didn't know anything about the clothing industry, and the clothes used for filming were bought directly in the store, and she never considered customizing her own clothes or anything.

But after Su Qin's popular science, she found that customizing clothes was not as difficult as she imagined.

In addition, the clothes used for filming can be reused, and the combined cost is actually within the range that she can accept.

However, she was only getting started, and it was not good to take too big a step all at once, so these were all on the plan for the time being.

Ruan Ling briefly mentioned these to Ye Jingchi, and finally concluded: "In short, I learned a lot from Su Junruo's mother, and she is really as powerful as I imagined." After talking to her like this, I feel that my thinking is much clearer again. ”

"It's a pity......" Ruan Ling said with some regret, "she must be very busy in normal times, so I can't talk to her about these things often." ”

Whenever she talks about something she is interested in, Ruan Ling will enter a state of self-forgetfulness.

Therefore, when she said this, she remembered to see Ye Jingchi's reaction.

The man listened attentively, his eyes focused.

Just after listening to her, Ye Jingchi seemed to be a little speechless and stopped.

Ruan Ling raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Jingchi pondered for a moment: "Actually...... If you want to talk to someone about these things, there's another person. ”

Ruan Ling didn't know what to do: "Who?" ”

She has only been in this world for less than two months, and there are not many people who can be called friends, and several of them are high school students.

Discussing entrepreneurship with high school students is like discussing calculus with elementary school students, although it does not rule out those who have different talents, but it is generally not reliable.

Ye Jingchi was silent.

A very light laugh came from the front row, which would hardly be heard if it weren't for Ruan Ling's ears.

Ruan Ling reacted and looked at Ye Jingchi: "You won't talk about yourself, right?" ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Ye Jingchi's eyes: "Hmm." ”

Ruan Ling furrowed her eyebrows slightly.

Ye Jingchi asked good-naturedly, "Where do I not meet the requirements?" ”

Ruan Ling thought for a moment.

In fact, if Ye Jingchi really starts a class, then I am afraid that many entrepreneurs will rush to it.

Although the Ye family was not founded by Ye Jingchi himself, but

The change in the scale of the Ye family after he took over is no different from re-establishing a large enterprise.

It's just that......

Ruan Ling's heart was still subconscious, and he didn't want to mix the affairs of the studio with Ye Jingchi.

Probably in her heart, this studio is a safe area of her own, and she also sees it as her own retreat.

She and Su Junruo's mother rarely had the opportunity to meet, and they were limited to verbal communication, so they could calmly exchange ideas with each other.

But Ye Jingchi, she can see him almost every day.

If she starts talking to Ye Jingchi about the situation in the studio and asks for advice from him, over time, she will definitely form a habit.

If she happened to encounter some problems, and she knew that Ye Jingchi could easily solve her problem with just a wave of her hand, would she really be able to resist asking Ye Jingchi for help?

Deep down, Ruan Ling actually knows it.

Whether it was money or manpower, as long as she spoke, Ye Jingchi would most likely agree.

After all, he can invest tens of millions of dollars in her, so how can he be stingy with this little resource.

It's just that once this kind of inertial dependence is formed, when the time comes, will her so-called retreat still be a retreat?

In an instant, Ruan Ling's mind had a lot on her mind.

Then she raised her eyes to look at Ye Jingchi and found that the man's expression was still very peaceful.

Seeing her look over, Ye Jingchi smiled slightly: "It's okay, if you don't want to talk to me, don't say it." ”

Ruan Ling was suspicious: "Really? ”

Ye Jingchi let out a faint "um", and then stopped talking.

Just when Ruan Ling thought that the man was unhappy, Ye Jingchi suddenly leaned over and approached her ear.

"It's just that I'm a little jealous."

After saying that, he quickly retreated again.

But the warm breath seemed to still linger in his ears, making Ruan Ling's heart beat a little faster.

Whose vinegar to eat?

She thought slowly.

Ruan Ling turned his head to look at Ye Jingchi, and found that the man had returned to his usual calm and relaxed appearance, and looked out the window quietly.

She looked ahead again, and just met Ye Xu, who was twisting her face and peeking back.

After being discovered, the young man looked stunned and turned his head stiffly.

Ye Jingchi's words just now were almost in her ear.

The voice was very soft, and Ye Xu and the driver would definitely not be able to hear it.

But the man's action of approaching her was obvious, so Ye Xu must have seen Ye Jingchi whispering to her, but he didn't know the specific content.

Ruan Ling finally realized-

She seemed to be teased by Ye Jingchi under the noses of the driver and Ye Xu.

And she hasn't been able to get it back right away.

Ruan Ling: "......"

What is the feeling of being unconvinced?

.

The Meng family manor is some distance from the city.

Even if there is no traffic jam at this point in time, it will take nearly an hour to drive back.

After Ye Jingchi whispered that sentence, the two didn't speak again.

Ruan Ling felt a little unconvinced at first, but soon, this emotion was replaced by sleepiness.

Steam on the move

The car was like a giant cradle, and she had just drunk a little red wine at the dinner party.

Soon, Ruan Ling's eyelids began to fight.

……

When she woke up again, Ruan Ling found that she seemed to be in an embrace, and the person holding her was still walking forward.

The pace is a little slow, but steady.

However, Ruan Ling still subconsciously hugged the man's shoulders to make sure that he would not fall.

It wasn't until consciousness gradually returned that Ruan Ling finally reacted that he was being held in Ye Jingchi's arms in the posture of a princess.

The familiar décor around them means that they are now home and are in the living room on the first floor of the villa.

Ruan Ling no longer had the energy to think about how she fell asleep and why Ye Xu was no longer around.

She has only one problem now -

Should I pretend to be asleep, or should I "wake up"?

"System?" Ruan Ling tentatively called out two sentences in his mind first.

Then the familiar synthesized sound did not appear.

Ruan Ling vaguely remembered that the system seemed to have told her.

For the purpose of protecting the host's privacy, in addition to eating, sleeping, bathing, etc., if she has "close contact" with other people, the system will also be blocked.

I didn't expect this to be a "pure love" system, just a princess hug, is it actually counted as intimate contact?

Ruan Ling thought out of place.

A slight feeling of weightlessness appears suddenly.

Ruan Ling didn't have time to think, and subconsciously hugged Ye Jingchi harder—this time he hugged his neck.

In fact, in order to avoid the woman in his arms being bumped, Ye Jingchi kept walking very slowly.

It's just that the bedroom is on the second floor, and when you go up the stairs, it's inevitably not as stable as the flat floor.

Ruan Ling's "throat lock" made Ye Jingchi's breathing stagnate, and his footsteps stopped.

After a while, the man's helpless and somewhat hoarse voice came from above: "Don't be so tight." ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

She silently let go of some of her strength, and moved her hand downward, moving to the junction of the man's neck and shoulders.

Ye Jingchi continued to carry her upstairs in silence.

Halfway up the stairs, Ruan Ling finally realized something.

Isn't she already awake?

Why didn't Ye Jingchi let her down?!
