After Ye Chen left, Lin Keke stayed alone in the fire escape on the 28th floor for a while before leaving.

She seemed to have gotten the answer she wanted: Ye Chen and He Lingling were not a real couple, and they could never be together.

However, to her disappointment, she was also an outsider and couldn't enter Ye Chen's world.

Despite her sadness, there was nothing she could do to change the situation. Perhaps she was destined not to be husband and wife with Ye Chen, but only to be friends or siblings.

Lin Keke wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, and then returned to her office to work as if nothing had happened.

When Ye Chen went down the mountain, his master told him that he would encounter many difficult problems, which he would have to solve one by one.

After shaking off Lin Keke's entanglement, Ye Chen dragged his tired body back to his office.

Ye Chen felt that today was the most tiring day since he came down the mountain. On the mountain, he only had to deal with his master, but down the mountain, he had to deal with several women.

Difficult!

Ye Chen never expected that he was so popular with women; it seemed that every woman except Jiang Ruoxi wanted to marry him.

Ye Chen didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

In Ye Chen's view, this was a very simple matter.

He Jianping had been drinking too much and posted a photo haphazardly with an incorrect caption, which led to a misunderstanding and created a different effect.

It could be explained in just three simple sentences, but it's causing this person to be unhappy and that person to get angry.

People in big cities overthink things; it's a classic case of involution, they're just making things difficult for themselves.

Hey, wouldn't it be better to save your time for something useful and do more meaningful things during your precious youth?

Ye Chen stayed in his office, but now when he went out, he was met with strange looks, and he felt like everyone was talking about him.

Ring ring, ring ring!

The phone rang, and Ye Chen answered lazily without checking who was calling: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Brother Chen, I'm so sorry. My brother drank too much and lost control, which led him to do something so stupid. I'll explain to my colleagues, don't worry!"

After thinking for a long time, He Lingling decided to call Ye Chen to apologize. After all, it was her brother He Jianping who caused the trouble, and she had no reason to stay out of it.

Whether Ye Chen believed it or not, she had done what she was supposed to do, and that was enough.

"It's alright, Ling, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. I don't blame you. What's done is done, and blaming your brother won't help. I won't hold it against you, don't worry!"

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

Ye Chen knew that it wasn't He Lingling's idea, nor was He Jianping's intention. Blaming them would have the same result, so it was better to be magnanimous and let him owe a favor that would be hard to repay.

After hanging up He Lingling's call, Ye Chen lay back down on the chair, covered his head with a newspaper, and adopted a relaxed posture.

Boom boom boom!

The door to Ye Chen's office was ajar. He Jianping knocked lightly on the door, gently pushed it open, and poked half his head inside.

"Brother Ye? Brother Ye? Is this a convenient time? May I come in?"

"Minister He, please come in and speak with me."

When Ye Chen heard He Jianping's voice, he let him in. He remained lying in the same position, without moving.

"Minister He, what are your instructions?"

Ye Chen put the newspaper aside, opened his eyes, and glanced at He Jianping.

"Brother Ye, how could I dare to give orders? I'm truly sorry about that. I didn't expect it to turn out this way. I was really drunk back then. I've already decided to quit drinking. Brother, you must give me another chance..."

He Jianping was telling the truth. Although he liked to flatter his superiors, he also knew that he had to have real skills to establish himself.

"Oh, well, that's the only way. You don't have a better solution, brother. You really can't make this mistake again."

"Don't worry, brother, it definitely won't happen again next time, absolutely not, not even if you gave me ten lives..."

He Jianping clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect, his waist bent at a ninety-degree angle.

"Minister He, let's leave it at that! It's all in the past now, it wasn't a big deal anyway, we're not afraid of what others will say, let's just consider it a lesson! Don't overcomplicate things."

"Brother Ye, you are truly a man of great things. You have the courage and ability, and a broad mind that can embrace all things. You are far superior to me. It is truly a very lucky thing to have met you."

These words were He Jianping's heartfelt words, spoken with genuine feeling.

Ye Chen didn't know how to reply to He Jianping: "Minister He, from now on we'll conquer the world together. You'll take charge of the direction, and I'll handle the work..."

"Oh, Brother Ye, this is too much, too much! You're making me feel terrible..."

After He Jianping left, Ye Chen resumed his lying-down posture, covering his head with a newspaper and closing his eyes to rest.

A moment later, Ye Chen suddenly sat up, remembering that there were things he hadn't done yet.

He picked up his phone and typed a text message to Jiang Ruoxi: "Wife, this is the only way to solve the problem. I, Ye Chen, am innocent. I don't need to explain too much to others. Please believe me, wife!"

After sending it, Ye Chen felt that something had gone wrong and he needed to work harder.

Jiang Ruoxi quickly replied: Really?

Ye Chen pondered for a long time, wondering what Jiang Ruoxi meant. Was she angry and bothered, or had she already moved on?

On the mountain, when his master got angry, he would beat him to vent his anger. At first, he hadn't practiced his skills well and was often beaten, but later he was beaten much less often.

After descending the mountain, Ye Chen realized that it was troublesome when a woman was angry, let alone a beautiful CEO like Jiang Ruoxi, who required even more effort.

With twenty minutes left before he was supposed to leave work, Ye Chen ran to the garage to wait for Jiang Ruoxi. He didn't want to miss the chance to take a free ride home.

"Ye Chen, you're really shameless! How can you expect to get a free ride without even asking? I don't want to be a good Samaritan!"

"Honey, you can't just leave me here and make me take the bus home alone, can you?"

Ye Chen tried to appeal to Jiang Ruoxi's emotions to get her to agree to let him ride home with her, but she wasn't buying it at all.

"Why not? Isn't this how we arrived this morning? Besides, I promised to include meals and accommodation, not transportation, right, Mr. Ye Chen?"

Jiang Ruoxi's cold reply left Ye Chen speechless.

Ye Chen found that Jiang Ruoxi's words seemed to be correct, and there was nothing to criticize. He couldn't find a better excuse for the time being.

"Honey, don't complicate things. It's very simple; there's nothing there. You're making it sound like something's wrong with me..."

"I wasn't angry at all, it's just that you kept thinking I was, and that's how things turned out!"

"Thank you, honey!"

"Next time you need to use your brain more, don't do it again..."

"Wife, be careful..."
