A sense of helplessness immediately rose in Ye Chen's heart.

Why has this woman become so controlling?

When did I ever ask her about her private matters?

She's something else; she has to ask about everything and meddle with everyone.

He answered in a calm voice:

"Just a friend."

Bai Ningbing seemed to sense his displeasure, so she composed herself slightly and changed the subject: "Male or female?"

"Male."

Upon hearing this answer, Bai Ningbing remained silent for two seconds, then didn't ask any further questions and quietly began to eat her meal.

After half an hour.

Bai Ningbing returned to her room.

Ye Chen tidied up the dishes and kitchen, then went out the door and headed straight for the central villa.

On the second-floor terrace, watching Ye Chen's figure disappear into the darkness, Bai Ningbing returned to her room alone.

She first took out the moon pendant that Chongyang had given her, looked at it, and then casually put it back in the drawer.

Previously, she would watch Moonlight Fall for half an hour every day.

For some reason, she wasn't in the mood to watch it today.

Instead, he took out a body-tempering potion that he had asked someone to bring him a couple of days earlier.

After letting out a long breath, she tilted her head back and swallowed.

Feeling the energy reaction triggered by the medicine entering her body, her eyes brightened slightly.

However, the energy quickly subsided, like a stone sinking into the sea, without even a ripple.

Despite having tried countless times, a deep sadness still welled up in my heart.

"Is this really how my life will be, like a useless person?"

Silent tears streamed down her cheeks.

……

the other side.

"Young friend Ye, welcome."

Lin Xiao and Lin Yao were waiting for him at the Lin family villa.

"Old Lin, what brings you here?"

After taking his seat, Ye Chen got straight to the point.

Lin Xiao didn't waste any words and directly took out a bank card and placed it on the table.

"This is……"

Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "As we agreed before, all the profits from this transaction will be yours, a total of 300 million."

Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

It really was that matter.

Without any hesitation, he pocketed the bank card.

"Thank you very much, Elder Lin."

"No need to be polite, this was agreed upon beforehand."

Lin Xiao smiled, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "So? Still selling?"

"Sell!"

Ye Chen did not hesitate.

"However, Mr. Lin, you can't help me for nothing this time. How about this, from now on, you'll take forty percent!"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.

This young man is really savvy.

Lin Yao covered her mouth in surprise.

Forty percent!

Of those 300 million, 120 million can be taken!

This is way more profitable than running a business! And the risk is low!

With one in and one out, the money is in the account.

"Haha, great!"

Lin Xiao laughed heartily, but did not refuse, after all, his Lin family was the one facing the greatest risk: "So how much are you planning to sell this time?"

Ye Chen did not answer his question directly.

Instead, he lowered his head and began to think.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao and Lin Yao exchanged a glance.

It was as if he was asking his granddaughter: What is this boy thinking about?

Lin Yao shook her head with a wry smile.

moment.

Ye Chen slowly raised his head. "How much do you think would be appropriate for the second time?"

"Um……"

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment before replying, "There are many examples in the country of people whose strength has plummeted due to damage to their talent, especially in the military, where the demand for this kind of pill is huge. Of course, I understand the principle that scarcity makes things valuable."

"In my opinion, thirty is the best."

"It can satisfy the needs of those high-ranking figures without attracting attention. Thirty pills are nothing more than a stone thrown into the sea for the populous Dragon Kingdom, and will not attract anyone's attention."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head.

Upon seeing this, both Lin Xiao and Lin Yao had a look of confusion in their eyes.

Thirty pieces won't do.

Ye Chen slowly raised his head to look at the two of them.

"I want to sell one hundred of them!"

"one hundred?!"

Lin Xiao gasped.

Then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He never expected Ye Chen to have such a big appetite.

It increased tenfold.

Lin Jiaguang can directly earn 1.2 billion by taking a cut!

This is making money faster than simply taking a sack of cash to the bank!

Lin Yao also covered her mouth in surprise.

A single coin costs 30 million, so 100 coins would cost 3 billion.

This is almost equal to the Lin family's total income for an entire year!

At this moment, she suddenly found this honest-looking junior somewhat unfathomable.

"Yes, one hundred."

Ye Chen asked solemnly, "Mr. Lin, what price can you control for this quantity?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao thought about it seriously for a while.

He then slowly spoke, "The first response was enthusiastic; the second price will definitely not be lower than thirty million!"

"Can."

Ye Chen nodded, got up and left, "Then I'll bring you the pills right away."

Lin Xiao opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he could only watch as Ye Chen left the villa.

Watching Ye Chen's retreating figure, he couldn't help but sigh:

"This child is definitely no ordinary person; his future achievements are limitless."

After watching for a while, Lin Xiao suddenly turned to look at Lin Yao:

"Yaoyao, don't you have someone you like yet?"

"what?"

Lin Yao was taken aback. "Grandpa, why are you asking why I'm drinking this?"

Lin Xiao revealed a shrewd smile, "If not, you can get closer to young friend Ye."

Lin Yao's face turned red instantly, down to her ears.

"Grandpa, he's got a wife!"

"Tch, the mere Bai family."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao seemed completely unconcerned. "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Bai family was also infected with the Thousand-Beast Origin Toxin. Heh, how long can she live?"

"Grandpa! How could you say that about me!" Lin Yao said angrily.

"That's the truth."

Lin Yao's expression changed, and she said earnestly, "Yao Yao, Grandpa has lived for over a hundred years. I've seen all sorts of people, and I can judge a person's character perfectly at a glance. You can't go wrong by listening to Grandpa. Even if you can't get along with this kid, you should still build a good relationship with him. You won't suffer any losses!"

He was teased by his own grandfather to his face.

Lin Yao's face flushed red, like a ripe apple.

But she didn't say anything in rebuttal, her eyes were blank and she seemed to be thinking about something.

It only took about ten minutes.

Ye Chen returned carrying a huge jade box.

Lin Xiao and his companion were immediately drawn to the jade box.

The crystal-clear box was engraved with strange patterns and emitted a faint white mist, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.

"These are one hundred Angel Tears, and I'm entrusting them to you."

Ye Chen placed the jade box on the table and looked at Lin Xiao with a serious expression.

Lin Xiao nodded solemnly.

"Alright, young friend Ye, please rest assured. If I cannot earn the money back safely, I will compensate you with my granddaughter!"

"grandfather!"

The blush that had just faded from Lin Yao's face returned to her pretty face.

Ye Chen gave an awkward laugh.

"I trust Old Lin, yes, I trust him..."

He didn't linger there long afterward.

After saying goodbye to Lin Xiao, he left the villa.

Lin Yao escorted him all the way to a spot a hundred meters from Bai Ningbing's villa before turning back, making Ye Chen feel a little embarrassed.

back home.

Bai Ningbing was still awake, wearing a loose silk nightgown, nestled on the sofa watching TV.

Her fair and smooth neck was exposed, and her beautiful hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Tranquil and beautiful.

Ye Chen was slightly stunned.

At that moment, he wished that the woman could stay like this forever, becoming mute and leaving only her beautiful appearance.

However, he had some doubts.

What's going on here?

She had never worn such clothes in front of him before, and she wished she could cover her face completely so that he wouldn't see any of her exposed skin.

Has she changed her personality?

Ye Chen took off his shoes and walked into the living room.

"I'm back."

"Um."

Bai Ningbing gave a curt reply.

Then he got up, put on his slippers, went back upstairs, and slammed the door shut.

Ye Chen pursed his lips.

Nothing's changed, it's still the same...
