462: Chapter 462 [Iceberg Turns Soft] 462: Chapter 462 [Iceberg Turns Soft] “General, if you ask me, why not just grab Ye Chenfeng and bring him back?
It would save us so much trouble!
I really don’t get what the old chief sees in him!” Qiao Xiyue pouted and complained.
Ji Qiushui raised her head, her icy gaze piercing through Qiao Xiyue, who immediately went silent, not daring to make another sound.
“First, Grandpa must have his reasons for wanting Ye Chenfeng back.
Second, someone as outstanding as Chu Qingxue is holding onto him relentlessly.
Doesn’t that strike you as odd?” Ji Qiushui asked.
Qiao Xiyue was stunned, never having thought of it that way.
“Or perhaps there’s a secret about Ye Chenfeng we don’t know, and that’s exactly what Grandpa values,” Ji Qiushui continued.
Qiao Xiyue nodded in vague understanding but still said, “General, I really can’t see anything impressive about Ye Chenfeng.
If there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s being shameless!”
…
“Achoo!”
Just as Ye Chenfeng reached the company entrance, he sneezed.
“Damn, who’s thinking about me this time?” Ye Chenfeng muttered to himself, continuing to walk with his head down.
“Bang!”
In the next second, he collided with a soft, warm body, making a loud “bang” sound.
Luckily, they bumped into each other sideways; otherwise, given Ye Chenfeng’s physique, he would have knocked the person down.
“Who is it?
Don’t you have eyes?
You…” Ye Chenfeng shouted angrily, then raised his head.
“Ah, it’s you, Xue’xue!” But when he saw who it was, he swallowed the rest of his words.
He saw Chu Qingxue rubbing her right shoulder, her face showing a pained expression.
She had walked back from the Yard Western Restaurant in a daze, not even looking where she was going, thus bumping into Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng initially thought Chu Qingxue would scold him, but to his surprise, she smiled sweetly at him, “You’re back?
Wanqing didn’t give you a hard time, did she?”
The voice was soft and sweet, coupled with a slightly flirtatious tone, which almost made Ye Chenfeng stumble and fall.
There must be something wrong with this situation!
How could a career woman like Chu Qingxue suddenly turn into a soft girl?
The sudden turn of events left Ye Chenfeng a bit caught off guard.
“Xue’xue, are you okay?
Where did you go alone?” Ye Chenfeng asked curiously.
“Had some things to take care of,” Chu Qingxue replied absentmindedly.
Ye Chenfeng grew more puzzled.
Where was Gu Jundie, who usually never left Chu Qingxue’s side?
And judging by Chu Qingxue’s demeanor, it definitely wasn’t work-related.
“Really okay?
You don’t look so good.
Do you need to rest?” Ye Chenfeng asked with concern.
“No, I’m really fine!” Chu Qingxue smiled, giving Ye Chenfeng a gaze full of tenderness.
Ye Chenfeng was even more astonished.
What was up with Chu Qingxue today, suddenly turning so gentle?
“Did you handle things with Wanqing properly?” Chu Qingxue asked.
“Pretty much, just had to put on a show for her mom,” Ye Chenfeng replied casually.
Chu Qingxue grew suspicious, smiling as she said, “So, Auntie Yao is convinced you’re her son-in-law now?”
“Just about.
Anyway, I think her mom quite likes me!” Ye Chenfeng answered instinctively, realizing he had misspoken.
Chu Qingxue’s eyes flickered with a different emotion, and she chuckled.
“What’s so funny, Xue’xue?” Ye Chenfeng asked curiously.
“From what I know, Auntie Yao is quite stubborn.
Once she’s made up her mind, even eight horses couldn’t change it.
Now that she’s set on you as her son-in-law, I bet she’ll do everything she can to make you and Wanqing marry!” Chu Qingxue smiled.
“Pfft!
As if!
Marrying that tigress?
She wishes!
That woman might look like a lady, but she sure doesn’t act like one!” Ye Chenfeng shouted, silently adding to himself: And she’s quite repressed too.
“Wanqing’s great, a goddess in many people’s eyes!” Chu Qingxue laughed heartily.
“Haha, marrying her would be a living hell.
I’d rather…” Ye Chenfeng stopped halfway, looking at Chu Qingxue and almost saying “you” out loud.
Sure enough, Chu Qingxue’s gentle expression changed, and her gaze turned sharp as a knife.
“Hehe, a living hell?
That’s quite the description!” Chu Qingxue hid her stern expression and chuckled.
“So, Ye Chenfeng, are you happy now, especially being with me?”
Chu Qingxue emphasized “being with her.”
“Happy, very happy!” Ye Chenfeng replied without thinking, then glanced mischievously at Chu Qingxue’s most prominent feature.
“If we could elevate our pure and great friendship, it would be even better!”
Chu Qingxue glared at him.
“Why do you always think about that kind of stuff!”
“I’m a normal man!” Ye Chenfeng’s straightforward answer left Chu Qingxue speechless.
…
“How strange!”
Seeing Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue chatting and laughing, Gu Jundie rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.
After confirming it was indeed Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue, Gu Jundie was puzzled.
Why was Chu Qingxue suddenly so gentle with Ye Chenfeng?
Wasn’t she always cold to him?
Gu Jundie was baffled by what had caused Chu Qingxue’s sudden 180-degree change in attitude towards Ye Chenfeng.
Lying back in his chair, feet propped on the desk, Ye Chenfeng was completely at ease.
He had nothing much to do now, with Phoenix tracking the Emperor of Night.
Phoenix had even left Divine Land, so she’d probably inform him as soon as there was news.
The Golden Beast Mask guest had been handed over to Rattlesnake, whom Ye Chenfeng had great confidence in.
He believed they’d have news within three days.
“Who was it that tried to kill me in prison?
And why did Old Hou remind me?” Ye Chenfeng pondered, his mind flashing with various images.
Rattlesnake and Hou Ye’s interrogation that day were definitely premeditated, and undoubtedly aimed at him.
Rattlesnake and his crew tried to kill him, and then whoever was behind them could let them go.
That set the stage for the aftermath.
Lost in thought, Ye Chenfeng fell asleep, soon snoring loudly.
“Ye Chenfeng, are you bored out of your mind?” Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded in Ye Chenfeng’s ear.
“Huh?”
Startled, Ye Chenfeng rolled off the desk.
In Chu Qingxue’s office, he had been completely relaxed and let his guard down, which is why he got scared.
“Hehe…”
Chu Qingxue laughed heartily.
Ye Chenfeng looked up to see Chu Qingxue’s sweet face, beaming with a smile as bright as a fairy from heaven.
Suddenly, memories flashed through Ye Chenfeng’s mind.
She used to tease him and laugh like this.
“Hey, are you mad?”
