Chapter 421: Chapter 417 Tang Xiaofei Invites for Dinner (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

Tang Xiaofei picked up her phone and saw Ye Chen’s handsome profile picture.

After thinking for a long time, she finally sent a message: ”Ye Chen, are you there?”

Ye Chen quickly replied: ”Of course, beauty. What’s up?”

”Did you read my book yesterday and even reward me?” Tang Xiaofei asked.

”Yes, I did read it and rewarded you a bit of money.” Ye Chen replied.

”A bit of reward? That was a hundred thousand yuan, that’s not a bit.” Tang Xiaofei was speechless.

A hundred thousand yuan was indeed a huge sum in Tang Xiaofei’s eyes, but in Ye Chen’s eyes, it really was just a bit.

”Yeah, I didn’t really reward that much.”

”Your account, Starlight, is yours, right?” Tang Xiaofei said.

”Yes, it is. I just rewarded a hundred thousand.” Ye Chen said.

Tang Xiaofei said: ”Ye Chen, it’s not easy for you to drive DiDi, you can earn ten thousand a month, this is a year’s income for you.”

Ye Chen saw what Tang Xiaofei had sent, knew an old classmate surely thought of him as a DiDi driver and felt heartache for rewarding so much.

”Haha, it’s not that exaggerated.”

”No way, this money you earned with hard work, I can’t take it.” Tang Xiaofei replied.

Seeing Tang Xiaofei’s message, Ye Chen felt warm inside.

So many years have passed, and many classmates have changed.

Even girls who seemed pure back then have now turned into green tea girls.

Society is a big melting pot, but perhaps Tang Xiaofei has been studying all along, her heart has not changed, still so pure.

Ye Chen replied: ”It’s nothing, not a big deal at all. Since I rewarded you, it’s definitely within my means, and besides, I couldn’t resist rewarding after reading your masterpiece, it was so wonderful.”

”Hmph, don’t lie to me, I know my own writing level. If it was really that good, I’d be winning awards by now.” Tang Xiaofei sent an emoji.

Ye Chen saw the cute pouting emoji Tang Xiaofei sent and imagined what she must look like now, feeling amused.

”Really, your writing is quite good.” Ye Chen continued replying.

”Hmph, stop lying, all my works flopped. Even this one’s numbers aren’t great. No way, I’ll return the money once I get my manuscript fee.” Tang Xiaofei said.

A hundred thousand yuan was just a drop in the ocean for Ye Chen, but it was truly a huge amount for Tang Xiaofei.

Since the website would take a half cut, plus taxes, it was questionable whether she could even gather a hundred thousand.

Ye Chen was speechless, other girls would be ecstatic getting such money, but this girl is determined to return it.

”Really, don’t worry, just consider it a classmate’s goodwill, and I don’t just drive DiDi, it’s just for life experience.”

Seeing Tang Xiaofei insisting on returning the money, Ye Chen had no choice but to lay it all out.

”But, that’s so embarrassing.”

Ye Chen said: ”I’m your book fan, if you really return the money, it would be disrespectful to me, I’d be heartbroken.”

Tang Xiaofei saw Ye Chen’s reply and finally asked a question she had always wanted to ask: ”Ye Chen, are you giving me so much money because you like me?”

As she typed this, Tang Xiaofei’s face turned red, and her heart pounded violently.

Ye Chen saw Tang Xiaofei’s message and was momentarily stunned.

In fact, when he was in school, Ye Chen really had a crush on Tang Xiaofei.

But back then, he was too naive and thought students should focus on studying, so he kept that feeling in his heart.

Honestly, from the moment he saw Tang Xiaofei, Ye Chen really felt something different in his heart.

Seeing no reply from Ye Chen for a long time, Tang Xiaofei sent another message: ”Haha, don’t be afraid, I was just kidding. As it is, I’ve accepted your kind gesture, but in the future, you’re not allowed to reward me again, it’s hard for you to earn money and I’ll get upset.”

Ye Chen said: ”Okay, since you don’t like it, I won’t reward you anymore.”

Actually, Tang Xiaofei had been waiting for Ye Chen’s reply.

She wished Ye Chen would reply that he liked her.

But after waiting for so long, he didn’t reply, so she, fearing his rejection, deliberately changed the subject.

Still, after chatting with Ye Chen for a while, she felt very happy.

Tang Xiaofei said: ”I’ve accepted your reward, you brought me so many fans, I have to thank you properly.”

Ye Chen laughed after hearing it: ”Alright, then I have to take good advantage of you.”

”Just as long as you don’t order a hundred-thousand-dollar meal.” Tang Xiaofei said playfully.

Tang Xiaofei suddenly sent a message: ”Ye Chen, I’ve noticed you’ve changed a lot, especially when it comes to making girls happy. Be honest, have you been dating a lot of girls?”

Ye Chen laughed: ”Oh, you’ve found me out, I’m a girl assassin.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s reply, Tang Xiaofei paused for a moment.

But she didn’t take it seriously, thinking he was joking.

The two chatted for a while longer, then Ye Chen continued driving DiDi.

At this moment, Ye Chen’s message group notification went off.

He took a glance and it was the DiDi Master group.

Ye Chen had joined a DiDi Master group not long after he started driving DiDi.

The people here drive DiDi for different reasons than Ye Chen, they do it to make a living, so their personalities are very down-to-earth.

Chen Wu: ”Guys, we’ve been chatting in the group for so long, how about we meet up?”

Zhang Dong: ”Sounds good, how about we split the bill?”

Li Fei: ”Sure, Ye Chen, are you coming?”

Ye Chen also chatted in the group usually, so everyone was familiar with him.

Ye Chen replied: ”Of course, just let me know the location.”

Chen Wu: ”How about we meet at Brother Si’s Barbecue at six tonight.”

”No problem.”

”No problem.”

Ye Chen also replied directly: ”No problem.”

Although Ye Chen was very wealthy, he preferred to interact with people like Chen Wu.

There were no ulterior motives, so the conversations were more relaxed.

In the evening, Ye Chen and a few others arrived at Brother Si’s Barbecue.

They ordered barbecue and beer.

The few of them were very laid-back, chatting about interesting things they’ve encountered while driving DiDi.

In the middle of their meal, Ye Chen’s phone rang.

Ye Chen took a look, and it was Tang Xiaofei calling, he said to the others: ”You guys start, I’ll step outside to take a call.”

Outside the private room, Ye Chen answered the call.

”Beauty, what made you think of calling me again?”

”You also write novels; how come you never told me?” Tang Xiaofei said from the other side.

”Haha, I’m just writing for fun.” Ye Chen said.

”For fun? Your writing is so good, I’ve been captivated by your story. Your novel is really popular on Creation Points, it already has ten thousand favorites.”

”Oh, really?” Ye Chen wasn’t surprised.

After all, in a previous life, this book was considered a masterpiece, being popular is very normal.

”By the way, Ye Chen, do you have time tonight? I’d like to take you out for a meal and consult you on novel writing techniques.”

Actually, the reason Tang Xiaofei asked Ye Chen out was because she wanted to see him.

As for consulting on writing techniques, they were just an excuse.
