Xie Chen ignored the ghostly cries outside and followed the sound with a tight frown.
Jiang Ye rubbed his ankle. In fact, he had originally planned to accidentally knock something over from the side to trip the young man.
When he passed by, he didn’t think much about it and stretched out his feet, thinking it was just transparent.
He muttered something and then was stunned by the sudden severe pain.
Because he was undefended, the opponent fell solidly on his back.
Although the young man looked thin, he was quite solid in weight.
It was true when they said ‘injure the enemy by one thousand and end up injuring yourself by eight hundred’.
Jiang Ye hobbled to the sofa with his feet raised, sat there and groaned.
Xie Chen clenched his fists tightly in his hands. In the end, he turned his eyes and saw a clothes hanger not far away.
It was used to put up some temporarily changed coats, wooden, and each protruding knot of wood was a coat hang.
Jiang Ye lowered his head to check his ankle. There was no fracture, but there was some redness and swelling that was visible to the naked eye.
He was struck speechless.
A person, with only his soul left, was still injured. If something happens, would he die again?
“Boom!”
The sudden sound made Jiang Ye look up in fright. He stood up instantly and almost forgot that his legs were weak: “Ge! What happened? Are you okay?!”
The man turned sideways, looking a little dishevelled, and the clothes hanger fell upside down and was a little messy on the ground.
Jiang Ye’s anxious voice made Xie Chen happy and worried at the same time.
Happy that he was nervous about him and worried about his injuries.
Opening the sleeves, the bruise from the previous crash could be seen with the naked eye.
Jiang Ye had already jumped in front of him and stretched out his hand to grab him: “How old are you? You can still be hit like this in your own room. Let’s see…”
Xie Chen turned around and staggered the direction of the sound.
He was afraid that he would catch him. If he really caught him, if he reacted slightly unnaturally and was discovered by the other party, then some things would be unexplainable.
He didn’t dare to know about things he couldn’t control.
He was afraid of an existence outside the known world, after all, it was now unthinkable. What if he was discovered and taken away?.
He was afraid that if the little guy knew that he could hear, see, and touch, he would never come back again.
After all, Jiang Ye was staying with him now, because he thought that he didn’t know his existence.
Xie Chen took down the medicine box from the top of the cabinet.
Placing on the coffee table, he took a simple anti-inflammatory.
There was a knock on the door, and the Xie Family’s servant said cautiously: “The old Madam asked the Young Master to come downstairs. All are waiting for you.”
“En.”
Xie Chen nodded, then picked up his coat, got up and left.
As if purposely speaking to someone, he slightly raised his voice: “Has the banquet started?”
“It’s starting Young Master.”
“En, I’ll go over in ten minutes and you’ll bring dinner to my room.”
“Okay, Young Master.”
Jiang Ye, who was limping and just about to follow, returned back once he heard that. It was only ten minutes, that boy who was owed a beating fell extremely hard, and definitely didn’t have the time to find fault with the Big Boss.
Of course the Big Boss was not afraid of others.
It was this kind of Family that was troublesome.
Quickly walking to the coffee table, Jiang Ye squatted down and reached for the medicine box with his hand attentively. He was slightly nervous, but he was also mentally prepared that he might not be able to touch the medicines and rather have his hand pass through it.
After all, it was only reasonable that he couldn’t touch it.
Finally, when he picked up the disinfectant and cotton balls, Jiang Ye was so happy that he almost forgot about it.
That’s right, even games have bugs and even if you were a ghost, there shouldn’t be bugs in the Underworld?
As fast as possible, he put medicine on his ankle, and then quickly put the things back in the same position as they had been placed in.
He didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt much better.
Xie Chen ignored the different looks from everyone at the banquet and only gave Jiang Ye time to treat his injuries.
When it was about time, he nodded and left.
It happened that Xie Yuan came back in a wheelchair. The pain in his body did not hinder the speed of his mouth at all: “Hey, it’s rare for the Eldest Young Master to be seen in the Xie family’s banquet. He is only staying for a short while. For those who don’t know, they will think he is hiding someone upstairs in his room.”
Elder Xie swept a glance at him, and Xie Yuan shut his mouth.
It didn’t affect the figure that disappeared into the doorway in the slightest.
“Dad, this child is getting out of control.”
The middle-aged man in a suit continued worriedly: “Some people seem to be obedient. If their wings become stiff, they can fly.”
Although the old man was already old, his aura was still stronger, and his eyes were cloudy but not less sharp: “He has never been just a small bait in a pond.”
Then he asked casually: “Is there any news about the child?”
“No.”
The light music at the banquet made the whole hall look like a movie blockbuster. The handsome men and women were very eye-catching.
Most of the men gathered together to talk about business matters, while the women gathered together to gossip.
The center of the gossip was exactly that figure who had suddenly appeared and disappeared in ten minutes.
That night, the hearts of many wealthy Young Ladies and handsome Young Masters were in chaos.
A person in the corner stared at the direction where the stairs disappeared, biting his lips, and the goblet he was holding was covered with deep fingerprints.
Hearing footsteps coming from the corridor, Jiang Ye quickly checked the location of the medicines on the coffee table. After confirming that they were placed correctly, he leaned lazily on the sofa and looked at the door.
Xie Chen opened the door and directly went to tidy up the medicine box first. He saw that a certain medicine bottle was slightly tilted from the coordinates of 47 degrees, and the corners of his mouth curled up and quickly returned to normal.
It was like an illusion.
Jiang Ye had his back turned, so of course he didn’t see it.
“Ge, will others have any objections to you coming back so soon?”
Jiang Ye thought about what the young man said just now. He had always thought that the Big Boss was supported by thousands of people at home and treated as a treasure. It seemed that there was a big difference.
After saying that, he answered himself: “Forget it, the Big Boss Ge is so invincible. If anyone has any objections, just destroy him. If you can’t eliminate him, I will replace him. Ah – I finally found my use!”
Jiang Ye raised his arms above his head and stretched.
Xie Chen put the medicine box back in its original position and smiled after hearing this.
Finally, he had a serious expression again.
He never cared about these trivial things, he only cared about him.
He wanted to take him away directly, but the little guy’s leg was injured, and he could only tell the extent of his injury by listening to his voice.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
There was a knock on the door, and the servant outside brought in the dinner tray.
Simple meals were Xie Chen’s usual habit.
He was thinking about how to get the little guy to eat.
“Dinner eh.”
“It’s so light.” Jiang Ye glanced at it, his mind still filled with the various desserts he saw downstairs: “Big Boss Ge, you eat first, I’m going to sneak downstairs and try to quench my craving without being noticed hahahahaha —–“
“Speaking of which, the wine at Night bar really has an endless aftertaste!”
Xie Chen listened to the voice that had reached the door.
Raising his hand, he stroked his chest, slowly moving to the collarbone position.
The warm breath seemed pure.
How could he not be reminiscent of it?
He got up and went downstairs.
When Xie Chen appeared again, it was not just the young ladies at the banquet who were holding a reserved and excited attitude.
Everyone in the Xie Family was also stunned for a moment.
Because after Xie Chen showed up, he did not go to the main seat to sit with the Xie Family, but walked directly to the banquet, which was simply unbelievable for all those who knew him well in the Xie Family.
Jiang Ye’s ankle felt much better after resting for a while, and with his foodie nature rebounding, the pain almost disappeared in front of the delicious food.
It was just that there were too many people here to take action.
If he wasn’t careful and touched or bumped into someone and it became a supernatural incident, who knew if they would summon a Daoist priest to exorcise him!
He didn’t know if it was because of the hangover the day before but he was really hungry now.
“Gulp.”
Looking at the exquisite Norwalk and Jinfeng snacks on the tray in front of him, Jiang Ye swallowed his saliva.
An elegant and beautiful girl in a tight-fitting dress, holding a goblet in her hand, followed by a slightly younger girl, standing in front of Jiang Ye, putting Frrozen Haute(written in english) ice cream into her mouth one after another.
“Gulp.”
Jiang Ye couldn’t hold back and swallowed again, while his stomach began to growl.
He could eat anything from fried dishes, to barbecue, to spicy hotpot, and the dessert ice cream was just as appetizing.
Standard foodie.
When Xie Chen showed up at the banquet, he was dressed in black and had an upright and elegant demeanor. Although was clearly cold and resistant, the women who saw him felt that the abstinent look was even more seductive. They wanted to strip him naked immediately and throw him into their bed.
Due to the momentary silence, Xie Chen immediately distinguished a familiar “gulp” in the light music.
His line of sight shifted to look at the two Sisters who were standing at the same spot with wide eyes and ice cream in their mouths.
The Older Sister’s name was Qiao Mu. In the circle of socialites, she was the object of many Young Masters’ pursuit due to her talent and elegance. However, she was ambitious and had never been in a relationship so far.
The Sister next to her was a few years younger and was in high school. When she saw Xie Chen looking over, she was so excited that she had nowhere to put her hands.
Swallowing the ice cream, she squealed in a low voice: “Sister, Sister, oh my God, who is this? Why is he more handsome than my idol?! Is this a big star invited by the Xie Family?It’s over, it’s over, I’m dead, what have I missed lately for the college entrance exams?”
Qiao Mu patted her lightly, and Qiao Yiyi immediately shut up.
Her Sister didn’t care about business district affairs, but she knew.
“Hello, Mr. Xie.” Qiao Mu smiled and was about to introduce herself.
The man raised his head and seemed to have just discovered such a person.
Qiao Mu’s eyes met Xie Chen’s, and her heart pounded violently.
When Jiang Ye saw Xie Chen, he also went over and held his stomach, staring at the ice cream in the young girl’s hand across from him, and then started babbling: “Big Boss Ge, you came down too. You finished eating so quickly? I’m so miserable. I can see but cannot eat, I’m so ravenous that I’m going to lose my mind.”
After saying that, he sighed: “Ge, even if you are here, I can’t eat it. You must not be interested in the desserts that this little girl likes. Ahhhh! I’m starving to death. Ge, do you have any leftovers upstairs? I am going back!”
Xie Chen frowned, and then his eyes fell on Qiao Yiyi’s hand again.
“Where did you get it?”
“Ah? Ah, over there!” Qiao Yiyi followed her gaze and reached out to point.
After the man left, she pulled on her Sister’s sleeve again and shook it, “Oh my god, oh my god! He looked so handsome and sounded so good, Sister I’m going to die!”
“Watch your words.” Qiao Mu followed him with her eyes.
Xie Chen ignored everyone’s surprised looks, took the ice cream, and then distinguishing the size of the “gurgling” sound in his ear, took several of the desserts with the loudest “gurgling” sound.
Finally, he put the ice cream back in place.
“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t put it back, Frrozen Haute’s ice cream has a pure flavor!”
“If you don’t like it, you can give me a sniff to satisfy my craving. Ah, talking about this topic, Big Boss Ge, when are you going to go to the Night?”
Jiang Ye looked at the little pastries scattered in such a big porcelain plate. Big Boss Ge left without taking a single bite, so they must be nothing to him.
It was better to go to the Night and steal some drinks under the dim lights of the bar.
Xie Chen remained indifferent.
Eating ice cream on an empty stomach after a hangover was absolutely a no-no.
But when he talked about the Night…
Drunk…
Stopped and went to get another bottle of Romanee-Conti.
It was said that tonight there would be the strongest thunderstorm in the City since the beginning of summer.
