Chapter 4: To Take a Certain Disobedient Child Home
Chi Yuheng leaned forward slightly, using a voice only the two of them could hear to say, “The name A-Yao doesn’t sound as pleasing to the ear as Ye Ran, don’t use it anymore.”
Ye Ran rolled his eyes.
He had clearly recognized him right from the start but still pretended earlier. Ye Ran cursed hundreds of times in his heart: Chi Yuheng, you dog of a man.
The manager couldn’t hear what Chi Yuheng said, only seeing Ye Ran standing there like a telephone pole, and his face darkened.
Could it be this guy had a phobia of seeing the boss?
This wouldn’t do!
The manager tentatively asked, “Eldest Young Master, how about I change the bartender for you?”
“No need.” Chi Yuheng’s gaze was fixed on Ye Ran the entire time. “I just came here to play casually, and incidentally……..”
He intentionally paused here. “To take a certain disobedient child home.”
Even though he knew Chi Yuheng had already recognized him, upon hearing this sentence, Ye Ran’s body still trembled uncontrollably.
Chi Yuheng still wanted to settle accounts with him.
To settle the account of him secretly drugging him and plotting to climb into his bed.
Ye Ran wanted to cry but had no tears. He was innocent too, previously completely controlled by the plot.
Hearing Chi Yuheng’s words, the manager was completely stunned. “Eldest Young Master, I…….. I didn’t know it was Second Young Master……..”
The Second Young Master of the Chi family, Chi Youchu, was the child of Chi Yuheng’s second uncle. Because of a family history of illness, the second uncle passed away at a young age, and Chi Youchu’s mother remarried, leaving only the young him in the Chi family.
And Chi Yuheng’s parents had also passed away when he was young. As the eldest brother acting as a father, outsiders all knew the importance of the Second Young Master in Chi Yuheng’s heart.
Chi Youchu and Ye Ran could be considered mortal enemies since childhood.
Chi Youchu couldn’t stand Ye Ran’s pretentious and arrogant appearance, while Ye Ran couldn’t stand that Chi Youchu, who couldn’t out-talk or out-fight him, only knew how to run and complain to Chi Yuheng.
When the two met, they would have to fight with just their eyes for five minutes first, and Chi Yuheng would have to expend effort to pull these two childish ghosts apart.
Hearing the manager call him Second Young Master, Ye Ran’s eyes darkened.
Was there a problem with this person’s eyesight? Where did he look even half a bit like that bastard Chi Youchu!
Chi Yuheng knew with one look that a certain someone was fighting with Youchu in his heart again.
“Have you played enough, ancestor? Once you’re done experiencing life, come home with me.”
Seeing Ye Ran had no reaction, Chi Yuheng called his name. “Ye Ran.”
The manager almost dropped his jaw in shock. Not the Second Young Master, but Young Master Ye!
Even more finished!
Who didn’t know that no matter what Ye Ran did, Chi Yuheng would clean up his mess? If this were placed on an ancient emperor and concubine, that would be pampering to no end.
If they were really to compare, even his brother Chi Youchu couldn’t compete.
Chi Yuheng had long issued an order forbidding Ye Ran from coming to the bar. At the very least, Ye Ran shouldn’t even think about the Chi family’s bars, and nobody would dare let him in.
As a result, he now appeared in the bar managed and operated by him, and was even working here as a bartender!
The manager wanted to pinch his philtrum. If he fainted right now and pretended not to know anything, could he still keep his job?
“Eldest Young Master, I know he is Young Master Ye.”
“No no no, I don’t know.”
The manager was almost angered to tears by his own stupid mouth, sweating profusely. “Begging the heavens, distinguish loyalty from treachery……..”
Chi Yuheng didn’t say anything, only giving the manager a look. He didn’t want to pursue anyone’s responsibility right now; he just wanted to take Ye Ran back.
But a certain someone was still acting stubborn right now, maintaining an appearance of swearing to death not to comply.
The temperature in Chi Yuheng’s eyes completely turned cold.
Talking nicely wasn’t going to work.
Chi Yuheng stood up. Xin Yu immediately understood what it meant. For an offensive errand like this, he still had to be the one to do it.
Xin Yu stepped forward with a smile. “Young Master Ye, let’s go back.”
Wanting to forcefully take him away?
Ye Ran swept a glance over the people Chi Yuheng brought. After looking, he smiled contemptuously.
Heh.
Couldn’t beat them.
Preserve strength, lay low.
Ye Ran didn’t speak, his aura practically explaining everything.
Don’t use force, I’ll walk by myself.
Xin Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He finally understood why Chi Yuheng still had to bring people when coming to the bar to drink.
If the target they wanted to bring back was Ye Ran, it could save a lot of arguing.
The manager was on tenterhooks, finally sending this ancestor away.
When one of the bartenders finished his work and returned, the bar counter was already missing Ye Ran’s figure.
“Why do I feel like we’re missing someone.” Looking around, “Where’s A-Yao?”
Another bartender looked towards the bar’s main door. “He was taken away for forced love……..”
“???”
……….
After leaving the bar, Ye Ran was stuffed into Chi Yuheng’s car.
The escape plan had failed. Ye Ran didn’t know what would happen next after altering the plot.
It was like taking the wrong medicine—besides failing to cure the disease, would there be any other side effects?
It wasn’t until Chi Yuheng got into the car that the temperature inside the entire vehicle dropped by two degrees.
Ye Ran’s heart trembled slightly.
He was still thinking in his heart that he absolutely wasn’t afraid of Chi Yuheng, he was purely just cold.
Some people, when nervous, like to stare at one spot, while others like to look everywhere, trying to find a breakthrough point to their current situation in other places.
Ye Ran belonged to the latter.
In the nearly freezing atmosphere, he looked left and right, finally meeting the gaze of Xin Yu, who was sitting in the front row, through the car’s rearview mirror.
Ye Ran blinked, and the two successfully established contact.
Usually, Chi Yuheng bought various delicious foods for Ye Ran, and in large portions.
What Ye Ran couldn’t finish, throwing it away would be a waste, so Xin Yu and the servants of the Chi family became the welfare beneficiaries.
When there are good things, everyone should share. Ye Ran played a very good hand at presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers.
So even though all the protagonists in the book disdained him, Ye Ran still possessed his own small fan group.
A friendship built on eating together.
The two secretly communicated with their eyes.
Ye Ran stole a glance at Chi Yuheng, then looked at Xin Yu. The meaning in his eyes: Did this guy lose his temper when he was at home? How high is his rage level?
Xin Yu’s expression replied: It could probably flip the roof.
The matters with the board of directors were enough to leave Chi Yuheng completely overwhelmed, and Ye Ran had disappeared at this time. Chi Yuheng dispatched everyone to search for him.
To be precise, the last person Ye Ran saw before running away was Xin Yu. As a bodyguard who had followed Chi Yuheng for years, Xin Yu actually failed to notice Ye Ran was about to run away—it was entirely his dereliction of duty.
During the time they were searching for him, Xin Yu didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, terrified that under Chi Yuheng’s furious wrath, he would be the unlucky one.
Later, when Chi Yuheng learned that Ye Ran was working as a bartender in his own bar, he was angered into laughing.
Xin Yu still remembered that expression.
Ye Ran once again inquired with his eyes: Do you think I can escape disaster when I go back?
Xin Yu pursed his lips and blinked his eyes heavily twice: Take care.
Ye Ran: “……..”
Just as he was about to continue asking, the partition inside the car slowly rose at this moment.
An arm reached over and landed on his thigh.
