Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

The food was served quickly.

They were all exquisite and well-prepared dishes, beautifully presented and with an enticing aroma.

Chen Ye handed the chopsticks to Qin Kexin and picked up a pair for himself.

He no longer has any aversion to such upscale restaurants.

Money is a man's courage.

He has plenty of guts now.

"Eat more." Chen Ye picked up a piece of glistening shrimp ball for her.

Qin Kexin was flattered and quickly thanked him, then carefully put the shrimp ball into her mouth.

The restaurant was playing soothing music, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Chen Ye felt this was a good opportunity to get information out of him.

He needs to piece together more fragments about the "original owner" from Qin Kexin.

"Kexin".

He put down his chopsticks and spoke casually.

"Do you think I've changed a lot since my divorce?"

Qin Kexin paused for a moment as she was taking small bites of her food.

She looked up and gazed intently at Chen Ye.

She had actually thought about this question for a long time.

"Yes." She nodded gently. "The changes... are significant."

"The you of the past..." Qin Kexin seemed to be organizing her thoughts, "very high, very far."

【lofty?】

Chen Ye had some doubts.

I'm 1.82 meters tall, that's not short at all.

"It's just..." Qin Kexin explained, "It feels like you're always on a pedestal, and we can't reach you."

You are very professional, very capable, but also very cold.

"When we used to date, you always talked about work or discussed cases."

Even without saying anything, it feels cold and distant.

As Chen Ye listened, he cursed the original owner of the body a hundred times in his heart.

"Damn, you're on a date with such a beautiful woman and all you talk about is work?"

[Beast! What a waste of resources!]

"And now?" Chen Ye pressed.

"Now..." Qin Kexin's cheeks flushed slightly.

"You... seem to have come down from the clouds."

"You treated me to mutton offal noodles and stood up for a migrant worker you didn't even know."

"He...he'll treat me to such delicious food, just like he is now."

Her voice grew softer and softer.

"Although... sometimes, it can become... wilder..."

She remembered that domineering and unreasonable kiss in the office that day.

My heart skipped a beat.

Wild?

"Hey sis, that wasn't wildness, that was just my roguish nature getting out of control."

Chen Ye mentally complained, but his face remained expressionless.

He needs to steer the conversation back to a safer direction.

"You've done a great job with the public welfare department."

Chen Ye looked at her and sincerely praised her.

"Very efficient and very thoughtful, thank you for your hard work."

This praise came from the heart.

Qin Kexin is indeed impeccable when it comes to her work.

However, this was just an ordinary compliment.

Qin Kexin's body trembled violently.

She quickly lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.

Chen Ye sensed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Kexin did not answer, but her shoulders shrugged slightly.

A single, glistening drop of liquid fell without warning onto the white porcelain plate in front of her.

A small patch of water spread out.

Cried?

【Hold!】

Chen Ye's brain went blank.

What he feared most was a woman crying.

Especially beautiful women.

This is worse than making him go to court and argue with ten lawyers.

"Hey, you..."

He was at a loss, wanting to offer comfort but not knowing where to begin.

Qin Kexin seemed to have flipped a switch, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.

She didn't make a sound; she just silently shed tears, drop by drop.

Chen Yexin's heart ached at the sight.

The guests at the surrounding tables were already casting strange glances at them.

A man in a suit made a beautiful woman cry.

This image is too easy to evoke negative associations.

Chen Ye felt extremely uncomfortable.

He hurriedly pulled out a few tissues and handed them over.

"Grandma, my dear grandma, please don't cry!"

He lowered his voice in a hurry.

"With so many people coming and going, anyone who didn't know better would think I was a human trafficker, forcing women into prostitution!"

As soon as he said that...

Qin Kexin, who had been silently shedding tears, suddenly burst out laughing.

Tears still clung to her eyelashes, but the corners of her mouth had already curved into a smile.

That smile, like pear blossoms in the rain, was indescribably moving.

Chen Ye was completely stunned.

Is this woman... insane?

She was both crying and laughing.

Qin Kexin raised her head, her eyes red from crying, like a rabbit's.

She just stared at Chen Ye.

His eyes held an extremely complex emotion.

"Chen Ye..."

Her voice still had a strong nasal tone.

"You...you've really changed."

Chen Ye's heart tightened.

Again!

"After following you for so many years, this is the first time you've... praised me."

Her voice was soft, yet it struck Chen Ye's heart like a heavy hammer.

"This is the first time you've been so gentle with me."

"I'm just... a little uncomfortable."

Chen Ye fell silent.

His hand holding the chopsticks tightened unconsciously.

No further explanation is needed.

He could already imagine how the original owner had treated this woman.

A woman with outstanding abilities who secretly admires him and takes care of everything for him.

What they received in return was nothing but indifference and a sense of entitlement day after day.

This silly woman lost control of her emotions over a mere compliment.

Just how much grievance had she accumulated?

Chen Ye felt a pang in his heart.

Once again, he cursed the original owner's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

He looked at Qin Kexin's face, which was still wet with tears, and blurted out.

"Just for this?"

"Okay!"

"From now on, I'll praise you every day, three times a day, morning, noon, and night, okay?"

"Please, just don't cry, okay?"

His words carried a hint of urgency, a touch of clumsiness, and a hint of heartache that he himself was unaware of.

Upon hearing this, Qin Kexin burst out laughing again.

This time, her smile was even brighter than before.

She took the tissue from Chen Ye and wiped her face haphazardly.

"I don't want to."

She sniffed and muttered something.

Seeing her smile through her tears, Chen Ye felt a sense of relief.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that this intelligent and capable female subordinate was actually quite adorable.

The meal ended in a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Chen Ye helped Qin Kexin, who had calmed down, into a taxi.

Only after watching his car merge into the traffic flow did he turn around and go home.

Back to that spacious, luxurious apartment.

The hustle and bustle of the day fades away, leaving only boundless silence.

Chen Ye took a shower but didn't go to sleep immediately.

He turned on the huge LCD TV in the living room.

I found a legal documentary program and started watching it.

He needs to familiarize himself with the rules of this world as soon as possible.

Although the predecessor possessed strong legal knowledge, it was merely a passive skill.

He needs to actively learn and understand in order to truly make the abilities of this body his own.

The lawyer on TV spoke eloquently, describing a complex and intricate case.

Chen Ye was engrossed in watching it, and before he knew it, he fell asleep on the sofa.

He had a dream.

In his dream, he returned to the karaoke bar from his previous life.

This time, however, he wasn't a waiter.

He is a guest.

He booked the largest private room all by himself.

They ordered one hundred Aces of Spades, which were piled up into a pyramid.

Then, he waved his hand.

"Bring me all the prettiest women here!"

The manager came running over excitedly.

Soon, the door to the private room was pushed open.

There were twelve princesses in total, each with her own unique charm and beauty, ranging from plump to slender.

They lined up and greeted him sweetly.

Chen Ye was overjoyed.

He embraced two women, picked up an Ace of Spades, and blew into the bottle.

The cool liquor slid down my throat.

He even washed each of the princesses' jade feet with wine.

Cool!

This is what life is all about!

Just as he was preparing to take the next step and have an in-depth discussion about his life ideals.

A piercing cell phone ring pulled him abruptly from his dream.

Buzzing... Buzzing...

Chen Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

Before me was the dim ceiling of the apartment.

The persistent ringing of a cell phone was in my ear.

Who the hell is so inconsiderate! Disturbing my sleep!

He sat up from the sofa, grumbling, and groped for the phone he had tossed aside.

The name displayed on the screen sent a shiver down his spine.

All sleepiness vanished at that moment.

Jiang Yuyan.

That woman, prickly and alluring like fire.

And the words she left behind when she departed yesterday.

"See you at the usual place tomorrow night at 8 PM."

Chen Ye's mind was buzzing.

He glanced at the time on his phone almost instinctively.

It's one o'clock in the morning.
