Thousands of people attending…
the scale of the event is still considered small…
Despite the astonishnt, Chen Yang was able to react promptly.
“Wealthy people really are different,” he said earnestly, “such a large social circle.
I’m impressed; I’ve never seen such a big gathering before.”
“Hahaha.”
Once Chen Yang said this, all three won couldn’t help but laugh.
“Chen Yang, of course,” Li Han said with a laugh, “there are only a hundred or so people in your entire Liuhe Village, and even if you add the nearby villages, it probably doesn’t reach a thousand.
It’s normal that you’ve never seen anything like this.
My uncle is different—he has big business and naturally interacts with many people.”
“Senior business people, partners, political figures—you na it, my uncle knows a lot of them.”
Li Han was telling the truth, without any other implication.
Chen Yang, having grown up in Liuhe Village, although he went to university and has seen much of the world, indeed had never experienced such a scene.
So it was normal for him to be a bit shocked at his first such experience.
You’re right.
Uncle Yang must have a vast network and strong connections to beco our city’s wealthiest man; otherwise, he wouldn’t have beco so successful,” said Chen Yang, who had a strong capacity for understanding, and could imdiately grasp the aning of Li Han’s words with just a bit of explanation.
Seeing Chen Yang nod and even speak with so admiration for Yang Tiancheng,
Yang Ruoxi, who was previously sulking, suddenly beca haughty.
Arms crossed in front of her chest, she tilted her head up and said, “That’s right, not just anyone can fill my dad’s role as the wealthiest man!
It took him many years of hard work to get there!”
Chen Yang, seeing Yang Ruoxi’s haughty deanor, knew what she was thinking and humored her with a smile, “Yes, yes, I know Uncle Yang is very impressive!”
“Hmph!” Yang Ruoxi huffed again, casting a contemptuous glance at Chen Yang before abruptly turning her head away, “Don’t think that just because you complint my dad, I will forgive you.
I won’t forget that you were peeping at just now!”
Her words caused Chen Yang’s previously smiling face to instantly stiffen.
“What?”
Chen Yang’s face was full of bewildernt: “Peeping?”
Yang Ruoxi’s gaze returned to him, her expression stern as she replied, “Yes, you were peeping!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that you walked in just as I was taking off my clothes?”
Chen Yang almost burst into laughter, unsure how to explain himself.
So he simply didn’t bother trying to explain at all, knowing the three won understood him and that their relationship was an open secret.
There was no chance they would misunderstand his intentions.
So he just sat on the sofa without saying another word.
Seeing this, Yang Ruoxi beca even more annoyed, pressing Chen Yang, “Hmph, see, you stop talking when I hit the nail on the head?”
Unable to hold back, Chen Yang laughed as he replied, “What can I say?
I just happened to co back from Liuhe Village and stumbled upon you by sheer coincidence.
Would you believe that?”
“Of course not!”
Yang Ruoxi responded without hesitation.
Chen Yang spread his hands: “Well, there we have it, since you wouldn’t believe any explanation I could give anyway, I’m not going to bother explaining.”
“You!”
Yang Ruoxi, pointing at Chen Yang, was fuming but couldn’t really do anything except stand there pointing at him.
Seeing Yang Ruoxi’s face turn red with anger, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Alright, alright, let’s say I accidentally offended you, okay?
I apologize, alright?”
With Chen Yang softening his tone, Yang Ruoxi’s anger dissipated significantly.
She knew in her heart that Chen Yang certainly hadn’t been peeping; if he wanted to, he could have done much more.
So why would he need to peep?
Therefore, she accepted his gesture and let it go.
“Humph, fine, since you’ve apologized, I’ll forgive you and believe you,”
Yang Ruoxi then crossed her arms in front of her chest and lifted her chin high, like a proud white swan.
Chen Yang smiled helplessly, shook his head and then turned towards Li Han, who was trying not to laugh.
“Li Han, I’ve brought back the wild mushrooms.
Is there anything else you need help with?”
Li Han thought for a mont and then shook her head, “No, there’s nothing else to help with right now, but after we deliver the birthday gifts and start the feast, it’s probably going to be very busy.”
“Because there will be dishes to serve, activities to host on-site, and I’ll also need to help Grandpa go from table to table toasting guests.
I’ll probably need your help!”
“Oh, I see.”
Chen Yang nodded, took out his phone to check the ti, and saw it was just past eleven, still so ti before the banquet at twelve-thirty.
“In that case, there’s still ti.
I can rest for a bit!”
Li Han nodded with a smile, “Yes, you can rest for a while.
What, did you not sleep well last night?”
At this point, Chen Yang had already lain down on the sofa.
Without a second thought, he nodded, “Yeah, it wasn’t comfortable at all sleeping on the sofa.
I woke up several tis, which really affected my sleep.
I need to catch up on rest so I can help you with energy later.”
After speaking, Chen Yang closed his eyes quite naturally, without feeling anything amiss.
But Li Han and Yang Ruoxi were montarily stunned.
Sleep on the sofa?
That’s not right.
Given Chen Yang’s usual customs, how could he possibly be content sleeping on the sofa?
Li Han exchanged a puzzled look with Yang Ruoxi but didn’t say anything.
However, Wu Kexin noticed the strange looks exchanged between Li Han and Yang Ruoxi.
Instantly, her cheeks flushed a bit, feeling shy.
But likewise, she didn’t say anything, just glared resentfully at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang, who had already closed his eyes to sleep, naturally didn’t notice this, nor did he notice the astonishnt on Li Han’s and Yang Ruoxi’s faces.
At that mont, all he wanted to do was to have a comfortable nap, knowing there would be plenty to do when he woke up.
…
Ti flew by, and before long, it was noon.
“Chen Yang, get up now, it’s past twenty past twelve,” seeing that it was about ti, Li Han woke Chen Yang up.
Upon hearing her, Chen Yang imdiately sat up straight.
After a little nap, he visibly felt much better.
“Is it already past twelve?
It felt like only a few minutes to ,” Chen Yang said as he stretched his limbs.
Yang Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, “Of course you wouldn’t notice, you were asleep.
My sister, Kexin and I have been watching you sleep for over an hour.”
“Hehe, really?
Have you guys been doing nothing but watching for an hour?” Chen Yang suddenly said with a smile looking at Yang Ruoxi.
Yang Ruoxi nodded, “Of course, what else could we do sitting here but watch?”
Chen Yang answered cheekily, “Then does that count as voyeurism?”
“You…
This…”
Yang Ruoxi was taken aback, unsure how to respond to Chen Yang.
After a silence of two or three seconds, just as she figured out how to reply to Chen Yang, Li Han interrupted her with a smile.
“Hehe, okay, okay, stop bickering, you two.
If we don’t head down now, we’ll really be late.
Let’s go together, the birthday banquet is about to officially start,”
Yang Ruoxi, who a second ago had been sowhat angry and wanted to argue with Chen Yang,
suddenly lost the mood upon hearing this, quickly stood up from the sofa, and asked Li Han to check if there was anything wrong with her outfit for the day.
Only when Li Han earnestly looked her over and nodded that there were no problems did she laugh and link arms with Li Han and Wu Kexin.
