Chapter 886: Chapter 861:
A tall woman dressed in a leather jacket and wearing pink sunglasses stood at the door, curiously looking around. The guards at the entrance were almost drooling, captivated by the woman’s appearance. The woman asked with a warm smile, "Gentlemen, may I ask if Ye Chen is here?"
"The Clan Leader?" The guards exchanged glances, immediately raising their vigilance, then asked, "What do you want with our Clan Leader?"
"What could I be here for? Of course, I have something to discuss!" The woman snorted lightly, seeming quite dissatisfied with the guards’ questioning. The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do. At this moment, the woman said, "How about this, you go in and tell him that Ms. Yan is here to see him!"
"Alright then!" If it weren’t for her good looks, the guards probably wouldn’t have gone to inform him and would have driven her away instead.
At this time, Ye Chen was with Feng Zhixiao and others at the construction site, surveying the terrain. They were observing the situation near the mountain’s base, where Ye Chen’s Royal Palace was to be built. Therefore, the security measures here had to be meticulous. Ye Chen decided to construct several secret passages within the Royal Palace, leading directly out of the city. This way, in the event of an intrusion, he could quickly evacuate his wives from here.
"Brother Chen, a phone call!" Feng Zhixiao rushed over, holding a phone.
"Who is it from?" Ye Chen was puzzled.
"It’s from the guard team, saying someone is at the gate looking for you!" Feng Zhixiao hurriedly said.
"Not seeing them. Who would come looking for me at this time?" Ye Chen replied irritably.
"The guard said it’s a woman named Ms. Yan!" Feng Zhixiao added, "If you don’t want to see her, should I have them drive her away?"
"Damn, who did you say is looking for me?" Ye Chen quickly asked.
"Ms. Yan, the guard said it’s a woman named Ms. Yan!" Feng Zhixiao looked at Ye Chen in confusion. Feng was still baffled, wondering who could this Ms. Yan be? When did Ye Chen have such a woman around him? Unexpectedly, Ye Chen’s expression changed to one of jubilant excitement, and he shouted at Feng Zhixiao: "Damn, if you dare to drive her away, I’ll have you driven away too!"
With that, Ye Chen immediately put on a safety helmet and drove swiftly towards the gate. It was over ten kilometers from his current location, and Ye Chen took the fast route, built specifically to allow the Rothschild family’s troops quick access. Generally, this rapid passage is only used in emergencies. Ordinarily, one would have to take the sandy road, which would sink significantly when heavy trucks and excavators passed over it. If Ye Chen took that route, it would likely take an hour to reach the gate.
Fortunately, there was this fast route, and Ye Chen drove at a hundred kilometers an hour, reaching the gate in about ten minutes. Ye Chen burst out, quickly spotting Ms. Yan standing at the entrance. Ms. Yan indeed appeared mature and charming, dressed in a black leather jacket that made her look not only wealthy but also young and enchanting. The black stockings made it seem like she wasn’t afraid of the cold at all.
"Sister, what are you doing here!" Ye Chen leaped out of the car excitedly.
"Chen, you finally came out, nearly froze your sister to death!" Ms. Yan glared at Ye Chen resentfully. Ye Chen hurriedly rushed over, taking off his coat to wrap around Ms. Yan, saying, "Yes, yes, it’s my fault, I came too late. Please cover yourself with my coat!"
"Make sure you don’t catch a cold!" Ms. Yan warned.
"Don’t worry, I’m naturally not afraid of the cold!" Ye Chen grinned, pointing at his clothes, saying, "Look, I’m wearing thermal wear!"
"Alright, stop boasting, let me see inside!" Ms. Yan laughed.
"Sure thing!" Ye Chen immediately laughed, then ushered Ms. Yan into the car, speeding toward the interior. Ms. Yan finally entered, seeing a wasteland inside, she curiously asked, "Chen, what on earth are you doing? How could you turn such a fine place into this?"
"This is called breaking down to rebuild!" Ye Chen laughed excitedly, "I want to build a city here according to my own vision, and in the future, I can live here. Sister, what do you think?"
"Great!" Ms. Yan’s eyes sparkled with delight, "Will there be a place for me here in the future?"
"Of course!" Ye Chen immediately nodded, then smiled, "Not only will there be a place for you, Sister, but I also intend to give you a building, establish a Night Color Bar here, so you can open a branch? What do you think?"
"Mmm, not bad!" Ms. Yan hurriedly nodded, but soon asked, "I’m just curious, how do you have so much money? And where did you get so many people to follow your orders?"
Ye Chen’s eyes shifted, then smiled, "You’ll find out in due time, Sister; now is not the time to tell you. Come on, let me show you my Royal Palace!"
Roar...
Ye Chen stomped the accelerator hard, the car rushed past, quickly heading toward the first phase of construction. Feng Zhixiao and others were at the construction site, wearing safety helmets. When Ms. Yan arrived, Feng Zhixiao looked at Ms. Yan in surprise, "Aren’t you the boss lady of Night Color Bar?"
"You must be Feng Zhixiao. I know you!" Ms. Yan grinned.
"Really, I know you too!" Feng Zhixiao exclaimed excitedly, then said, "I... I seem to remember you have quite a status and position in Jianghuai City. I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful, no wonder Brother Chen is so smitten!"
"Slap!"
Ye Chen unceremoniously slapped Feng Zhixiao and shouted, "How dare you speak like that? Looks like you need a beating!"
"Brother Chen, I wasn’t wrong, just now you said to drive away whoever was looking for you. But the moment you heard it was Ms. Yan, you rushed out without even tying your shoelaces!" Feng Zhixiao rubbed the back of his head, distancing himself from Ye Chen, and then looked at Ms. Yan with a grievance, "Ms. Yan, you must stand up for me!"
"Hehe, you two are really amusing!" Ms. Yan giggled.
Ye Chen took Ms. Yan on a tour of his Royal Palace, which spanned over ten acres including residences, gardens, some horse racing tracks, and swimming pools. These constructions were beginning to take shape, with foundations dug, and a large amount of rebar and cement poured into the ground. Ms. Yan observed the construction site, and even from this foundation, one could glimpse the massive scale of future buildings. She exclaimed in wonder, "Wow, it’s so big!"
"Hehe, isn’t it?" Ye Chen grinned, "In the future, this will be my kingdom, and I intend to bring all my wives here!"
"I wonder if there will be a place for me here?" Ms. Yan couldn’t help but ask, surprised at the grandeur of the buildings.
"Uhm..." Ye Chen hesitated, to be honest, he hadn’t really considered Ms. Yan before. If she also moved in, Li Ruo and Zhang Yantong would probably have opinions. After all, Ms. Yan was already married, if she also entered his harem, wouldn’t that be...
Before Ye Chen could speak, Ms. Yan laughed, "Hehe, don’t overthink it, I’m only longing, never daring to expect to live here. I know I’m just an abandoned woman, not qualified to live here!"
"No!" Ye Chen immediately covered Ms. Yan’s lips with excitement, saying, "Sister, rest assured, I will let you live here, and I want to give you a large room with the most luxurious decoration to let you enjoy the wealth and prosperity of this world!"
"Really?" Ms. Yan looked at Ye Chen excitedly.
"Of course it’s true!" Ye Chen nodded, raising his hand in oath, "I swear, if I can’t give you..."
"No!" Ms. Yan immediately covered Ye Chen’s mouth and said emotionally, "I believe you, no need for oaths. But in the future, how will you explain to Li Ruo and them? Aren’t you afraid?!"
"What does it matter? I believe Xiao Ruo is tolerant. She can accept Tongtong and Dian Ling, I’m sure she will be able to accept you too!" Ye Chen took a deep breath, and at this moment, the desire to protect in his heart suddenly expanded. He was determined to protect Ms. Yan, to guard her forever, to provide a place for her future, not to let her continue as a drifting leaf in the mortal world, or as a lonely boat in the river of failed marriages.
"But, I’m just an abandoned woman!" Ms. Yan said tearfully.
"No, to me, you’re not. I love you, I want to protect you, I want to shield you with my chest!" Ye Chen suddenly proclaimed with righteousness, "You are my woman, now and in the future. I want to give you a safe harbor, a beautiful home. You are mine, it doesn’t matter whether you’re divorced; it’s all irrelevant to me!"
"Chen..." At this point, Ms. Yan was already crying uncontrollably, and in the distance, Feng Zhixiao saw her body trembling slightly. He couldn’t help but murmur, "Why is the beautiful sister crying? Did Brother Chen bully her?"
Ye Chen couldn’t help but hold Ms. Yan in his arms, hoping to protect this woman, disregarding societal views or others’ eyes. Whether she was divorced, or an abandoned woman, or even infertile, it didn’t matter to him. With so many women, having children was easy, and sometimes, an impulse of nerves can become uncontrollable.
