Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

By the time Ye Yan arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Youlin had already left. He went to the table Ling Ran had told him, only to find the table was empty-seated. All that was left behind were the few dishes served.

Just then, the attendants inside the restaurant were trapped in the aftermath of the meal after Mu Tingfeng left his gold card to them. They were discussing the incident feverishly and did not even notice there was another man at the table.

Looking at the dishes that had yet to be taken away, he thought Zhao Youlin had left temporarily due to some issue. He sat at Ling Ran’s seat, and waited for her to return patiently.

As time passed, Ye Yan grew more anxious.

Finally, Ye Yan could no longer hold back himself. He ran over to the counter and asked the attendants about the entire situation. Suddenly, a stranger’s silhouette overshadowed him.

Ye Yan was in glee as he thought Zhao Youlin had returned, only to realize the person before him was not Zhao Youlin when he looked up.

Ye Yan obviously looked very disappointed to the point that Su He could not pretend not to see it even if she wanted to. A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. Soon, she resumed normally. The corners of her lips curled up, and she asked, pretending not to know anything, “Are you Ling Ran, Mr. Ling?”

Ye Yan froze. He recalled that he was sitting in Ling Ran seat. He faked a cough awkwardly, and said politely, “Ling Ran is my friend. He has left due to some issue, and asked me to come over. May I know you are…?”

‘The person in front of me could not be Ling Ran’s blind date, right? How dare that rascal fool me?!’

Upon hearing this, Su He’s eyes sparkled. She heaved a sigh, pretended to look relieved, and smiled faintly as she said, “So, that’s how it is. I’m sorry to say that I’m Ms. Zhao secretary. Ms. Zhao is Mr. Ling’s blind date. She has some urgent affairs, so she has left. She asked me to come over to inform Mr. Ling, but I never thought…”

While Su He was speaking, she had already quietly sat opposite Ye Yan. She kept smiling while looking at the young man opposite her. At the same time, she covered the hint of interest in her eyes very well.

“Oh, so that’s how it is!” When Ye Yan heard Su He’s explanation, he apparently looked disappointed. They had missed each other!

After a brief moment of silence, the disappointment on Ye Yan’s face faded. He looked up at the person opposite him, and forced a smile, “If so, we should…”

Before Ye Yan finished speaking, Su He smiled faintly as she interrupted him, “Since we’re here, why don’t we have a meal together?”

Just then, the attendant who was discussing the topic feverishly noticed the movement over there, she hurriedly came over and said politely, “Sir, Miss, do you want to place your orders?”

Ye Yan froze. He looked slightly embarrassed, and said, “I’m sorry, but I have something to…”

“Couldn’t you handle your things later? It’s lunchtime now. Sir, aren’t you willing to accompany me for a meal? Am I that disgusting?” At her final rant, Su He looked aggrieved. Her cute face crumpled. Looking at her, one would inevitably feel guilty for bullying a child.

Right after Su He spoke, Ye Yan keenly sensed the rebuking gazes from his surroundings. Even the attendant standing beside them was looking at him in disgust, akin to saying he was scum, and bullied a young lady.

Ye Yan felt a chill sent down his spine. He froze for a moment before he heaved a sigh, and said helplessly, “Alright, then…”

As soon as Ye Yan agreed to her request, Su He immediately looked joyful. Her clear eyes sparkled with happiness, and the corners of her lips curled upward. Seeing her in this state, one could literally feel her joy.

Ye Yan’s heart clenched up. He felt something was sprouting from his heart, yet, he deliberately ignored it.

“Sir, Miss, what is your favorite dish? Sir… Sir…?” While Ye Yan was in a daze after watching Su He’s smile, a certain one had already placed her order and was asking about his favorite.

Ye Yan was snapped out of his daze when he was called multiple times. By the time he recovered his senses, Su He was so close to him that their noses were touching.

She was watching him with her big, clear eyes, as if he had been caught doing something illegal!

The third young master of the Ye family was known for his gentleness and thoughtfulness. This was his first time not being able to force a smile, and he said with difficulty, “W-What’s… the matter?”

Su He saw everything. The hint of a smile in her eyes grew increasingly prominent, “I called you many times, but you didn’t respond to me. Sir, what do you want to order?”

Su He handed over the menu in her hand to Ye Yan as she spoke. Then, she returned to her seat.

When Su He’s face was gradually fading from his sight, Ye Yan unwittingly heaved a sigh of relief. He took the menu from her and ordered a pork ribs dish. Then, he returned the menu to the attendant who was waiting at the side.

Looking at the additional dishes on the menu, her eyes crinkled with amusement. After so many years, the person’s taste had remained the same. He still had a thing for pork ribs. But…

After the attendant left, the atmosphere between the two turned awkward once again.

Ye Yan looked away, pretending he was admiring the scenery outside. In fact, he was sizing the girl up, who appeared out of nowhere, with the corners of his eyes.

The girl looked very young and adorable. Coupled with her clear, big eyes, she looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen-years-old.

However, she had clearly mentioned she was Zhao Youlin’s secretary. In other words, she must be an adult.

‘Are you an adult?’ Ye Yan frowned. Before he gave it a deeper thought, the girl opposite her spoke first.

“By the way, I still don’t know what’s your name, Sir? I don’t find it convenient to keep calling you Sir. We’re at least sharing the same table, and having a meal together, right?”

Ye Yan froze. He withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly as he said, “I’m sorry. Hi, I’m Ye Yan, spelled Y-E-Y-A-N. Nice to meet you.”

Su He smiled. She stared at Ye Yan, and said faintly, “Hi, Mr. Ye, I would like to introduce myself again. I’m Su He, spelled S-U-H-E. Nice to meet you too.”

Su He spoke seriously. The corners of her lips curled upward and revealed her dimples. She looked much cuter.

However, when Ye Yan saw this, apart from finding the person before him looking adorable, he also found her to be familiar.

“Have we… met each other before…?” Without giving a second thought, he blurted out the question.
