Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1717: Chapter 1716: A Date with Liu Rumei?

On this day, when Ye Tianchen woke up and stepped out, the entire Ye family mansion was already bustling with people, almost as if the threshold would be worn down from stepping. All the servants of the Ye family were incredibly busy, practically running instead of walking. Ye Tianchen yawned, stretched lazily, and walked out of the villa he lived in. It had been a long time since he had relaxed like this, a long time since he had a quiet, good sleep!

”Wow, what’s happening at home today? Why does everyone look so busy?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask himself aloud.

”Young master, you’re up?” a maid saw Ye Tianchen come out and respectfully asked.

”Why is it so lively at home? Is there something to celebrate?” Ye Tianchen instinctively asked.

”Young master, you, you don’t know yet? No way!” The maid was quite surprised and said when she heard Ye Tianchen’s question.

”What don’t I know, what’s going on?” Ye Tianchen was a bit puzzled and asked, genuinely not understanding.

”Young master, this morning the Zhou family, the Wang family, and the Xiao family all sent invitations at the same time, wanting to invite you and the master to a banquet. Then, many major forces and big families in China came to visit our Ye family. The master said that guests who come are still guests, and we must entertain them well, so we got busy!” the maid explained.

”Oh, I see. I get it now. You can go back to work.” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

The maid left to continue her work. Ye Tianchen looked at the warm sunlight spilling from the sky and felt comfortable. He understood why the Ye family was suddenly lively and filled with visitors. It was because last night, the Zhou family, the Xiao family, and the Wang family—three of the most powerful families in China—had been defeated by him. They were genuinely convinced and dare not flaunt themselves or oppose the Ye family anymore. They even sent such invitations early in the morning, unprecedentedly. The strength of the Ye family had made many outsiders speculate and even shiver with fear!

It’s known that Ye Tianchen cleaned up the young masters of the Xiao family, Wang family, and Zhou family, causing these families’ heads to personally visit the Ye family, itching to avenge their juniors, wanting nothing more than to tear Ye Tianchen apart and wipe out the Ye family at once. However, for some reason, these family heads reached a consensus with Ye Tianchen—that if Ye Tianchen could visit these three families in one night without incident, they would promise never to oppose the Ye family. But if Ye Tianchen didn’t dare or failed, they would face demise; it would mean the immediate decline of the entire Ye family!

Everyone knew that the agreement between Ye Tianchen and the top three strongest families in China was risking his life. These three families were unbelievably powerful, insurmountable in the eyes of ordinary people, and no one dared to provoke them easily. However, Ye Tianchen claimed he would visit these three families and leave unharmed, probably the first person in history!

No one knew if Ye Tianchen visited those three families last night, nor what happened within those families then. But this morning, the three families simultaneously sent invitations to the Ye family, proving everything. Ye Tianchen had won; he had won the bet with those three families!

Ye Tianchen won!

When this news, even this fact, was presented to everyone, many people’s first reaction was disbelief, even refusing to believe it. They knew Ye Tianchen was an extraordinary person, someone you couldn’t judge by conventional standards. Ten years ago, everything Ye Tianchen did in the Capital City was shocking and mentally breaking. Now, a decade later, did Ye Tianchen return with the same power? Even if he had, how could he single-handedly subdue three families so obediently?

However, everyone had to believe it; it seemed these three families had genuinely failed. Otherwise, they wouldn’t send invitations to the Ye family early in the morning to show goodwill. This news shook the entire Capital City and even the whole of China, at home and abroad. Of course, such high-level news was only known and discussed by those within high circles; ordinary people could never know this because the gap was too significant!

Ye Tianchen stretched his muscles and bones as he was just about to take a walk in the Ye family’s old mansion when someone appeared behind him. Ye Tianchen turned and, chuckling, said, ”Why are you following me so early? Want me to treat you to breakfast?”

”Pfft, early in the morning? Is this early? It’s already twelve noon. Only in Ye Tianchen’s dictionary is it still considered early!” Liu Rumei gave Ye Tianchen a sidelong glance and said.

”Then it’s lunch, right? Want to eat together?” Ye Tianchen asked with a slight smile.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words and looking at his sunny smile, Liu Rumei couldn’t help but be a little dazed. Is this a date? Is Ye Tianchen asking her to a meal with him?

”What are you staring at? Come on, aren’t you hungry? I’m starving!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Oh, okay, I’ll, I’ll go change clothes!” Liu Rumei came back to her senses and said.

”Alright, I’ll wait at the door. Hurry up!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

”Okay!” Liu Rumei responded and turned toward the villa she lived in!

Ye Tianchen waited at the Ye family’s old mansion door for more than an hour before Liu Rumei finally came out. When Ye Tianchen saw Liu Rumei, he was surprised; when Liu Rumei saw Ye Tianchen, she was surprised too!

”You... What is this situation? Are we walking to get food?” Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked.

”Not bad, huh, quite pretty!” Ye Tianchen came to his senses and replied with a wicked grin, rather than directly answering Liu Rumei’s question.

Liu Rumei glared at Ye Tianchen, feeling a bit shy and irritated, ”I asked you, how are we getting food? Walking?”

”Walking? How could I make a beautiful lady like you walk? Besides, this is my first time treating you to a meal, do you think I’d be that ungentlemanly? Do you underestimate me that much?” Ye Tianchen said in a somewhat grumpy manner.

”Since you’re so gentlemanly, where’s your car?” Liu Rumei frustratedly asked Ye Tianchen.

”Look, right here!” Ye Tianchen said as he unveiled a bicycle nearby, speaking very seriously.

”You must be joking, right? How do we get there with this? Are you going alone?” Liu Rumei felt speechless and asked.

”This is it, I’ll give you a ride. It’s cooler and more breezy!” Ye Tianchen replied with a grin.

Liu Rumei couldn’t help but feel bewildered. She genuinely thought Ye Tianchen wasn’t sincerely inviting her to dinner but just fooling, maybe even teasing her. But looking at Ye Tianchen’s earnest demeanor, it seemed like he wasn’t toying with her. Was Ye Tianchen lacking emotional intelligence? Who goes out on a date like this, having a meal on a bicycle?

”Hop on. I’ve thought of a nice place; it won’t disappoint you.” Ye Tianchen chuckled.

Honestly, Liu Rumei was one hundred percent unwilling, not because she was arrogant but because, in her world, bicycles practically didn’t exist. She had never used one; every outing was in a supercar, at worst a branded sedan. How could a bicycle be of use?

No matter how Liu Rumei felt, she had already sat on the back seat of Ye Tianchen’s bicycle. Ye Tianchen, smiling, asked, ”Miss, are you ready? I’m about to start!”

”Go on then, hurry up!” Liu Rumei glared at Ye Tianchen. She, the proud heiress of the Liu family, the acknowledged number one beauty of the Capital City, and the beautiful CEO of Sea King Group, found herself sitting on a bicycle. If anyone saw this, it would indeed be shocking!

Ye Tianchen glanced at Liu Rumei behind him. At that moment, he had to admit, Liu Rumei was indeed beautiful. She wore a stunning red dress, elegant and fitting. Her face bore just a hint of makeup, and her flawless skin was almost inviting to the touch. More importantly, generally speaking, a crimson dress is not something every woman can pull off well—this includes even big celebrities and models domestically and internationally. But on Liu Rumei, it looked so fitting, so pretty, like a Red Fairy. Her beauty was indeed unmatched!

”Hey, can you slow down? I feel like I’m going to fall at any moment!” Liu Rumei couldn’t help but grab Ye Tianchen’s waist with both hands, speaking a bit tensely.

”No problem, don’t worry. I can handle this little thing just fine,” Ye Tianchen replied, feeling a bit embarrassed. He hadn’t anticipated that riding a bike, which seemed simple, would actually be a bit challenging to do well and smoothly; it almost tipped over when he started, which was truly embarrassing!
