Chapter 1719: Chapter 1718: Liu Rumei’s Most Fanatical Pursuer!

[Please reward us!]

A couple went to a Western restaurant for dinner, and one of them switched to using chopsticks instead of a knife and fork because they weren’t used to it. This wouldn’t seem strange; after all, Chinese people have different habits, which is understandable and reasonable!

However, when two people go to a Western restaurant and both use chopsticks, it becomes a bit puzzling and even a bit odd. Are they here to enjoy the cozy romance of Western cuisine, or just here for a meal?

The two individuals who made the restaurant’s staff feel somewhat puzzled were Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei. Of course, in their view, it didn’t matter what others thought. The key was that they felt good themselves!

But, as Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei were enjoying their mutual fun, an uninvited guest approached their table, looked disdainfully at Ye Tianchen, and then at Liu Rumei, saying: ”Quite the coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here. Who is this uncle?”

Ye Tianchen glanced at the young man in front of him, about thirty years old. While his appearance wasn’t particularly off-putting, the most annoying part was his eyes, which were extremely self-satisfied and smug, giving the impression of someone with a high status that looked down on everything.

”Lu Han, I didn’t expect you here. Is there something you need? If not, I’d like to continue eating!” Liu Rumei said, looking at the man standing beside her.

”Oh? Eating? Using chopsticks to eat Western food? I say, Rumei, this man really embarrasses you by bringing you here. I don’t understand. Over the years, countless young lords in the Capital City have asked you out, sparing no expense, just to have a meal with you, and you never agreed. Why agree to this man? Who is he?” The man named Lu Han asked, looking very displeased at Ye Tianchen.

”What does this have to do with you? If it’s irrelevant, please leave!” Liu Rumei shook her head and said.

”You... what do you mean it has nothing to do with me? Ten years! A full ten years, I, Lu Han, have never given up pursuing you, yet you’ve never given me the chance to have a meal. Why? Am I, Lu Han, not dedicated or outstanding enough? Is this man stronger than me?” Lu Han said almost hysterically, gritting his teeth.

”I’ll say this one last time, it has nothing to do with you. You may leave now!” Liu Rumei said, looking at Lu Han with some annoyance.

Lu Han glared at Ye Tianchen and gave Liu Rumei another look before leaving reluctantly. Naturally, he was angry inside. For ten years, Lu Han had put in a lot of effort to pursue Liu Rumei, yet never once in those ten years did she give him a chance to have a meal. Lu Han truly didn’t understand why. His family background was substantial, his abilities strong, and unlike those foolish second-generation heirs, he wasn’t arrogant or conceited. However, he really liked Liu Rumei and deeply hoped she could be with him, which is why seeing Ye Tianchen stirred such anger and caused him to become agitated!

Ye Tianchen didn’t say anything. Given his Cultivation Realm and demeanor, such nonsense couldn’t easily anger him. Moreover, judging from Liu Rumei’s expression, she didn’t want to engage further with this man named Lu Han!

”Sorry, he’s my friend!” Liu Rumei said, glancing at Ye Tianchen.

”No problem, this guy should be your persistent pursuer, right?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen and then put down her chopsticks, saying seriously, ”Yes, indeed I have many pursuers who’ve never ceased attempting. Among them are people with enough power and wealth to control the world. But never has anyone pursued me for ten consecutive years without giving up like Lu Han has!”

”That shows this guy is very devoted to you, so why not give him a chance?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

Liu Rumei rolled her eyes at Ye Tianchen and shook her head, saying, ”I’ve known Lu Han since childhood; you could say we grew up together. Our Liu family and the Lu family are China’s top scientific research families, always receiving the highest national treatment, needing no struggle, no effort. Whatever these two families desire, the country provides full support. Our families need only focus on scientific research!”

”As two of China’s top scientific research families, it’s only natural that there’s interaction and cooperation between you. Knowing each other isn’t surprising!” Ye Tianchen nodded.

”Yes, Lu Han and I have grown up together, and the Lu and Liu families have always been closely linked. However, we are simply friends; it was unexpected when Lu Han confessed to me ten years ago and began diligently pursuing me afterward. But I’ve always seen him as a younger brother and never considered anything else!” Liu Rumei said earnestly.

”Oh, so that’s the case; then this kid is forcing it, which isn’t right!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”By the way, I want to ask you something...” Liu Rumei thought for a moment and said.

”What is it?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”Lu Han is, after all, someone I grew up with, and he isn’t a bad person, nor is he one of those spoiled rich kids. Now he sees you as a rival in love; I know you’re strong, but please don’t hurt him!” Liu Rumei said, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Don’t worry, I’m not someone who recklessly acts, and I’m quite busy myself!” Ye Tianchen replied with a slight smile.

”Then thank you!” Liu Rumei said with a smile.

No matter what, after this meal, Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei felt very happy and comfortable, despite using chopsticks for Western cuisine, which might seem odd to others. Their thoughts and feelings were at a level that was entirely different from ordinary people.

As Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei left the Western restaurant, intending to ride their bicycles again, a Ferrari sports car stopped in front of Liu Rumei. Lu Han hadn’t left and was waiting here for Liu Rumei. As soon as he saw Liu Rumei and Ye Tianchen leave the restaurant, he drove the Ferrari sports car over!

”Rumei, let me drive you home,” Lu Han asked, his eyes full of pleading.

”No need, I have my own vehicle!” Liu Rumei shook her head and said.

”Your vehicle? Is it this guy’s bicycle? Rumei, when did your standards become so low?” Lu Han asked, looking at Ye Tianchen’s bicycle with dissatisfaction and disdain.

Liu Rumei looked at Lu Han and, somewhat angrily, said, ”Lu Han, how can you not understand yet? It’s not that my standards lowered; it’s not that there are high standards for not being with you, but we’re simply not suitable. I simply don’t like you; I only view you as my younger brother, can’t you see that?”

”You see me as your younger brother, but even so, you shouldn’t choose such a useless man, picking such a waste is beneath your status!” Lu Han said, glaring at Ye Tianchen with great displeasure.

”I say, you can be mad, but why curse me?” Ye Tianchen asked, looking at Lu Han challengingly.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Lu Han sneered slightly, immediately opened the Ferrari’s door, walked up to Ye Tianchen, and said, ”I don’t care who you are, stay away from Rumei, otherwise, no matter how good-tempered I am, I won’t be polite!”

”Do you know what the consequences of your words are? It will bring disaster to the Lu family!” Ye Tianchen said calmly, looking at Lu Han.

”You... huh, ridiculous, shameless boasting. In China, nobody dares speak this way to the Lu family. Who do you think you are?” Lu Han said disdainfully.

”I am Ye Tianchen!” Ye Tianchen replied, still very calmly looking at Lu Han.

When Lu Han heard the three words ”Ye Tianchen,” he froze. He certainly hadn’t expected that the man standing in front of him, who looked quite unassuming, even riding a bicycle, would actually be Ye Tianchen!

Ten years ago, Ye Tianchen’s actions in China were universally known, shocking the entire nation. All families looked to the Ye family. Ten years later, upon returning to the Capital City, Ye Tianchen’s first significant act was to compel China’s three strongest families, the Zhou, Wang, and Xiao families, to submit and no longer oppose the Ye family. Such power, such strength couldn’t possibly go unnoticed; everyone was astonished!

However, Lu Han had never seen Ye Tianchen in person before; it was his first encounter. Of course, it was normal for people who’ve never seen Ye Tianchen’s face to imagine him as a capable, charismatic man, an impressive existence, with the world’s finest attire and possessions. Nobody would have thought Ye Tianchen would ride a bicycle and take the Capital’s top beauty, Liu Rumei, to such a not-so-upscale Western restaurant for dinner. Not just Lu Han, but no one could have imagined that!

”You... you are Ye Tianchen, you...” Lu Han froze completely, truly not expecting that the man before him was actually Ye Tianchen. He wasn’t arrogant but faced with a romantic rival, he naturally had some anger and wanted to assert his strength, making the rival retreat. Yet what Lu Han never expected was that his rival was Ye Tianchen... (To be continued.
