After handing Zi Yun over to Luo Jingxuan and her company, Ye Luo left the scene and headed towards a restaurant in Zhonghai, as he had promised to accompany Li Wanqin to have dinner with her parents.
Upon arriving at a fine dining restaurant, Ye Luo spotted Li Wanqin and quickly walked over to her.
"Sorry, sothing held up, I’m not late, am I?" Ye Luo said to Li Wanqin with a smile.
"It’s fine; my parents are already inside. Let’s go in," she replied.
Li Wanqin revealed a sweet smile, and the two of them walked inside together.
anwhile, unbeknownst to Ye Luo and Li Wanqin, on the other side of the restaurant, two voices were heard chatting and coming out—it was Chen Yaowen and Ling Qingya.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen, for your help. Without it, this cooperation wouldn’t have been possible," Ling Qingya said, looking at Chen Yaowen.
"Not at all, it was thanks to our President’s leadership. Hey, isn’t that Manager Li and Vice Chief Ye?" Chen Yaowen suddenly seed to notice sothing, looking into the distance.
Following Chen Yaowen’s gaze, Ling Qingya saw Ye Luo and Li Wanqin intimately going upstairs together, and her expression changed slightly as a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"I didn’t expect to run into them here. They must be here to dine as well. Let’s go over and say hello," Chen Yaowen suggested lightly to Ling Qingya.
"No need, we don’t even know which room they’re in, let’s just go back," Ling Qingya’s eyes flickered as she spoke.
"It’s fine; the owner of this restaurant is a friend of mine. I can just ask and find out. Besides, we didn’t eat much with the client just now, so it’s perfect to have a al together. I’m sure Manager Li and Vice Chief Ye won’t mind."
Chen Yaowen spoke with a smile and imdiately went over, while Ling Qingya’s eyes flickered, and she followed him.
In a private room on the third floor of the restaurant, Li Wanqin’s parents were seated. When Ye Luo and Li Wanqin entered, Mr. and Mrs. Li showed their utmost enthusiasm.
The first ti Ye Luo visited the Li Family, he had faced all kinds of difficulties and sarcasm from Li Wanqin’s parents, who even wanted to marry their daughter off to a peripheral disciple of the Shen Family.
However, after Ye Luo bought them an apartnt and, with the help of Secretary Du from Zhonghai, helped Li Wanqin’s father not only get reinstated to his forr position but also get promoted, her parents acknowledged him as their son-in-law.
"Ye Luo, you’re here. Please, take a seat," Mrs. Li said warmly, rising to her feet.
"No need to be so polite, let’s all sit down," Ye Luo said calmly, then he and Li Wanqin took their seats.
"Mom, why did you insist on dragging Ye Luo out for a al? What exactly is going on?" Li Wanqin asked her mother with a puzzled face.
"Ye Luo, you and Wan Qing have been together for quite so ti now. Your uncle and I have discussed it, and we think it’s ti for you two to get married. We’d also love to have a grandchild," Mrs. Li said with a smile.
"What? Get married!" Both Ye Luo’s and Li Wanqin’s faces changed, showing great surprise.
"Is there a problem?"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Li looked at them with puzzled expressions.
Li Wanqin’s face changed, and she quickly said, "Mom, I’m still young. I don’t want to get married so early."
"You’re already twenty-five. How is that young? Girls your age already have sons. It’s ti for you to get married so we don’t have to worry about you anymore," Mrs. Li declared.
"Yes, Ye Luo, what do you think?" Li’s father looked at Ye Luo with a trace of expectation in his eyes, ever since his position had been continuously restored and even promoted.
He had vaguely heard that all of this was arranged by Secretary Du, and he hadn’t expected that Ye Luo knew Secretary Du too. With this in mind, he naturally beca even more satisfied with this future son-in-law.
He couldn’t wait for them to get married straight away, thinking that perhaps in the future he could climb higher up the ladder by relying on Ye Luo’s connection to Secretary Du.
"This..." Ye Luo’s gaze flickered, and he was sowhat at a loss for words. He couldn’t possibly say that he already had a fiancé and it wouldn’t be convenient to marry Li Wanqin, could he? That would definitely cause trouble.
Bang bang!
Just then, a knocking sound erupted, and Li’s mother called out directly, "Who is it?"
Ye Luo’s expression changed, about to speak, when the door to the private room was pushed open, and Chen Yaowen and Ling Qingya walked in.
Li Wanqin’s body trembled imdiately, her complexion changed in an instant, and she called out nervously, "President!"
"Oh, there are other people here, sorry for the interruption," Chen Yaowen said with a smile on his face.
"Who are you?" Li’s father and Li’s mother looked at the two with puzzled expressions.
"Oh, I am the deputy general of Ling Corporation, and this is the president of Ling Corporation. You must be Manager Li’s parents," Chen Yaowen said indifferently.
"So you are the president and the deputy president. We didn’t know you would co, we are really sorry," Li’s mother quickly said with a smiling face.
"Vice Chief Ye, how co you are dining with Manager Li and her parents?" Chen Yaowen pretended to be puzzled as he looked at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo’s eyes glinted with a cold light as he glanced at Chen Yaowen.
"It’s like this, I..." Li’s mother was about to say sothing when she was swiftly scolded by Li Wanqin.
"Mom, don’t talk nonsense. You and dad go ho first," Li Wanqin said with a tight expression, looking at her parents.
"Uncle, Auntie, just go ahead and speak. Why is Manager Li stopping you? Surely there isn’t sothing you can’t let the president and I hear," Chen Yaowen said with a strange smile on his lips, watching Li Wanqin and Ye Luo.
"I..." Li Wanqin’s expression shifted, uncertain how to start.
While Ye Luo had been silent all along, Ling Qingya’s eyes were fixed on him.
"There’s nothing to hide. We were just having dinner with Ye Luo and Wan Qin to discuss when they will get married. Since President Ling is here too, I’ve heard you have a good relationship with Wan Qin. Why don’t you persuade her? This girl is not getting any younger; she should get married sooner. Plus, Ye Luo is so outstanding—if she doesn’t hold on to him earlier, he might be snatched up by so other woman," Li’s mother blurted out in one breath.
Li Wanqin’s complexion imdiately shifted, her body trembling so much that she almost couldn’t stand steady.
Ling Qingya didn’t speak, her face showing no change whatsoever, but her eyes turned incredibly cold, cold to the extre, as if devoid of any emotion, staring intently at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo’s body also trembled slightly; he sighed softly but still remained silent.
Chen Yaowen, however, showed a surprised expression, saying, "What? Ye Luo and Manager Li are getting married? How is that possible?"
"What’s so impossible about that? They are boyfriend and girlfriend after all. And Ye Luo bought us a house and helped us so much; we’ve long regarded him as our son-in-law," Li’s mother said with a beaming smile, oblivious to her daughter Li Wanqin’s pale face.
