Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Drinking Longjing Tea, Is It Available Here?
Back when Ye Xunhuan first t Jian Yunong, Jian Yunong privately sought out i Hanqing a few tis afterward.
Each ti, she was extrely enthusiastic, either inviting i Hanqing to dinner or taking her shopping, even giving i Hanqing gifts.
But all these gestures were declined by i Hanqing.
When i Hanqing went with Ye Xunhuan to et Jian Yunong and dined together, Jian Yunong’s gaze made i Hanqing feel uneasy, yet strangely enough, she felt an extraordinary sense of familiarity when facing Jian Yunong!
That familiarity seed innate, deeply embedded in her blood.
This feeling was peculiar, and even i Hanqing couldn’t fully describe it.
Especially after the fact, Jian Yunong’s attitude towards her filled i Hanqing’s heart with unprecedented confusion.
Her connection with Jian Yunong was solely because of Ye Xunhuan. Even if Ye Xunhuan and Jian Yunong were closely acquainted, why would Jian Yunong keep inviting her for als, and even buy her jewelry, clothing, and other branded items?
Now Jian Yunong wants her son to study in Jiangzhong City, and Ye Xunhuan even asks her to take care of him sowhat.
This made i Hanqing even more puzzled and also provoked a bold guess in her mind.
However, i Hanqing didn’t voice it, believing ti would explain everything.
It must be said, i Hanqing was calm enough—although she felt she had sensed sothing, she maintained an outward appearance of tranquility.
Ye Xunhuan was unaware of i Hanqing’s inner doubts; otherwise, he’d likely find himself helplessly chuckling bitterly.
But regardless, i Hanqing agreed to look after Su Mingxuan a little, which made Ye Xunhuan breathe easy.
After spending so ti with i Hanqing in her office, i Hanqing asked Ye Xunhuan to leave.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be alone with Ye Xunhuan; it was because Ye Xunhuan’s relationship with Qiu Ruoxi was already widely known, and her reputation in the Royal Group wasn’t positive, being labeled as a promiscuous woman and a temptress.
If Ye Xunhuan stayed there constantly, it could easily provoke gossip.
Though i Hanqing had long since disregarded such rumors, it didn’t an she actually cared not at all or could remain shaless.
After all, rumors can cut like a sword, subtly destroying soone.
Had she a choice, i Hanqing wouldn’t let others curse her!
So understanding i Hanqing’s concerns, Ye Xunhuan sensibly left.
After all, ti was plentiful, and he would have nurous chances to be with i Hanqing, not needing to rush just now.
Perhaps because the matter with Su Mingxuan was resolved, Ye Xunhuan felt quite relieved.
Back in the office, Ye Xunhuan started playing a ga, but before he completed two rounds, his phone rang.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Ye Xunhuan casually picked it up, glancing at it.
Seeing the caller ID, Ye Xunhuan slightly furrowed his brow, revealing a thoughtful look.
After a mont of hesitation, Ye Xunhuan decided to answer the call.
“Hello…”
“Ye Xunhuan, I want to talk to you!”
A deep, magnetic male voice slowly ca through the receiver to Ye Xunhuan’s ear.
“I don’t think there’s much to discuss between you and Shu Mountain,” Ye Xunhuan said calmly.
The caller was none other than Yuan Feng from Shu Mountain.
Since Yuan Feng and his wife Feng Ya visited Ye Xunhuan, hoping to have him replace Shu Mountain in the Black List Competition disrupted by Olivia, they had harbored anger.
Especially towards Olivia, they held intense hatred.
But they felt powerless.
Olivia was the undisputed overlord of the underground world, a creature of unknown longevity, and they didn’t believe they had the power to deal with Olivia.
Knowing Olivia surely had unimaginable abilities after living so many years, confronting her was undoubtedly unwise.
Therefore, they suppressed their anger and left Ye Xunhuan’s place.
Yet they didn’t leave Jiangzhong City; they wanted to continue discussions with Ye Xunhuan.
After all, he was their only hope, and they sincerely didn’t want to beco enemies.
Though requesting him to represent them seed sneaky, they couldn’t find another way to transform hostility into harmony with Ye Xunhuan.
“Ye Xunhuan, I think we should et in person for a discussion. Should I co to you, or will you co to ?” Yuan Feng said nonchalantly.
“I’m busy!”
“Then I’ll co to find you!”
“You’re not welco here!”
“I don’t mind…”
“You…”
“Ye Xunhuan, let’s talk one more ti. If you still want to refuse, I won’t bother you anymore. How about that?”
Ye Xunhuan sighed heavily: “Fine, na the place!”
“At the Starbucks near your company!”
Ye Xunhuan didn’t say more and directly hung up the call.
After hanging up, Ye Xunhuan left the office, preparing to et Yuan Feng.
It wasn’t that Ye Xunhuan wanted the eting but rather couldn’t avoid it.
Even if he didn’t go, Yuan Feng would co over, and who knows what chaos would ensue?
Moreover, it seed this guy was determined to have another talk with him, so Ye Xunhuan had no choice but to et him!
Starbucks is an Arican coffee chain, not particularly high-end, but it’s the world’s largest coffee chain!
Almost every city in Huaxia has a Starbucks.
While not the most upscale venue, Starbucks offers a serene and comfortable atmosphere.
When Ye Xunhuan arrived at the Starbucks, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya had been there for an unknown duration, sitting by the window.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan approaching, both Yuan Feng and Feng Ya greeted him with warm smiles.
Seeing them there, Ye Xunhuan walked straight over to them.
Monts later, Ye Xunhuan was in front of them, sitting directly across. “Let’s talk; what do you want to discuss with ?”
Faced with Ye Xunhuan’s directness, neither Yuan Feng nor Feng Ya appeared surprised; they seed expected and remained calm.
“What would you like to drink?” Yuan Feng deflected.
As he spoke, as if recalling sothing, Yuan Feng added, “My treat!”
“If I said I wanted a pot of Longjing tea, would they sell it here?” Ye Xunhuan retorted, in an annoyed tone.
Hearing this, Yuan Feng’s lips twitched slightly.
This guy was clearly here to stir trouble—ordering Longjing in a coffee shop was either foolish or provocative.
Clearly, Ye Xunhuan wasn’t foolish!
Embarrassed, Yuan Feng chuckled awkwardly: “You’re quite amusing!”
“I don’t have ti to beat around the bush with you. Just say what you want to discuss!” Ye Xunhuan impatiently remarked.
