Yao Lili caught the shift in Ye Chen's face and assumed she'd struck a nerve, which only boosted her arrogance further.
“Ye Chen, a real man needs drive; without it, what's the point of being a guy?”
She gestured triumphantly toward the nearby Lakefront Villa and declared, “Look at this? My boyfriend gifted it to me. That's true manly behavior.”
“This villa is your boyfriend's?” Ye Chen paused in surprise for a second.
“Absolutely, and not only that—this Pagani sports car belongs to me too.” Yao Lili boasted with a triumphant grin, indicating the Pagani stationed beside the villa.
Things were turning fascinating now!
A sly smile tugged at Ye Chen's mouth as he fished out his car keys and pressed the button gently.
The Pagani's doors unlocked with a click.
Yao Lili stood there, utterly speechless and shocked.
Impossible—how on earth did he possess the keys to a Pagani?
Yao Lili had merely been putting on a show, yet she couldn't have imagined Ye Chen would actually access the vehicle.
Wasn't he just a DiDi driver?
How could someone like him own a Pagani?
Unless... was Ye Chen some hidden rich heir slumming it as a driver for fun?
Yeah, that's the kind of twist you see in dramas.
Ye Chen retrieved the property deed from inside the car and verified it: “Apologies, H8 block—this property is actually mine.”
“Yours?” Yao Lili's eyes widened in disbelief.
The villa turned out to be Ye Chen's as well; it was crystal clear now.
A luxury car and a high-end home—Ye Chen had to be a total billionaire.
Right then, Lin Shanshan approached, having wrapped up the paperwork.
“Mr. Ye, the residency process for the house is complete, the fingerprint lock is configured, and you're all set to move right in.”
Ye Chen gave a nod: “Thanks.”
With that, Ye Chen headed to the villa's entrance, where Lin Shanshan assisted him in programming the fingerprint lock before swinging the door wide.
Yao Lili remained frozen in astonishment.
It was unbelievable—moments earlier, Yao Lili had been fantasizing right there about owning this multi-million-dollar estate.
Little did she know, she'd been so near to claiming it once?
In a flash, Yao Lili's stare at Ye Chen ignited with intense desire, like a feline in pursuit.
Suddenly, Yao Lili lunged forward and latched onto Ye Chen's arm.
“Little Chen, I've always fancied you; I faked our breakup to uncover your true self. Turns out you're a genuine tycoon.”
Ye Chen was at a loss for words.
Did she truly admire him all along?
Wasn't it her who just labeled him a failure to his face?
“Ye Chen, is she your secretary? Don't sweat it—dismiss her, and I'll step in as your girlfriend and occasional assistant.”
Ye Chen: “…”
Glancing at Lin Shanshan next to him, who scored over 95 in looks, Ye Chen brushed off Yao Lili's grip and stated, “Sorry, but we're not a match.”
“No, we're ideal together! I checked our compatibility—it's off the charts!”
Ye Chen: “…”
Regret flooded Yao Lili.
How was she supposed to foresee that the guy she viewed as a mere option was in fact a prosperous scion with a Pagani and prime real estate!
Next to Ye Chen, that BMW dude was downright pathetic.
Imagining herself soon cruising in luxury and residing in the Lakefront Villa, Yao Lili buzzed with thrill.
Fortune favors me—I've snagged a wealthy spouse!
“Sorry, I've got a girlfriend already—it's this lady right here.” Ye Chen indicated the woman at his side.
“What? Her... No, no, Ye Chen, I'm your girlfriend.”
“Yes, more precisely, you're my ex. You phoned me to announce our split.” Ye Chen replied coolly.
“No, that was just a tease. I adore you. I'll cherish only you forever, Chenchen—please don't leave me behind.”
Ye Chen chuckled abruptly: “Her beauty and figure outshine yours by miles. Why settle for a money-chaser like you?”
Lin Shanshan blushed deeply nearby.
Oh! Goodness, did he declare me his girlfriend just like that?
We've only met for half an hour, and now we're exclusive?
The joy hit her out of nowhere.
“Ye Chen, don't you recall our promises?”
“Yao Lili, the second you made that call, our ties ended. Step out of the way—I'm heading out!” Ye Chen had no patience left for her and pivoted to depart.
“Thump,” she dropped to her knees before Ye Chen.
Desperate to wed into riches, Yao Lili threw caution aside.
“Ye Chen, don't forsake me. You're the sole love of my life.”
“Yao Lili, what's this about?” A guy's voice rang out from the rear.
The arrival was Chen Shan, the sales department head.
As it happened, Chen Shan was Yao Lili's actual beau.
He'd taken her to Lake Heart Island for fun when alerts hit about the Lakefront Villa sale, prompting him to hurry off for the documents.
Once done, he came back to discover his girl clinging to some unknown man, down on her knees, pleading to date him.
Damn, after all Yao Lili's talk of eternal devotion, she'd cuckolded him this fast?
“Yao Lili, you slut, what's your game—betraying me in plain sight?”
“I…!”
Yao Lili felt distressed, having planned a heartfelt plea to sway Ye Chen, only for her legit partner to show up.
She raised her eyes, realizing Ye Chen had vanished ages ago.
Chen Shan sneered: “Save your search—he's been gone for a while.”
Yao Lili's expression twisted; she quickly pleaded with Chen Shan: “Little Shan, hear me out.”
“Get lost, you tramp, you fortune hunter—weren't you chasing a rich marriage? Go for it! But check a mirror first; delusions of social climbing? Over—it's over.”
Chen Shan flicked his sleeve and stormed off.
Ye Chen was out of reach, and now her boyfriend too.
Coming away empty-handed, Yao Lili longed to smack herself repeatedly.
Why had she been so shortsighted, overlooking such a dashing magnate?
Yao Lili stayed kneeling, sobbing uncontrollably.
Ye Chen ferried Lin Shanshan back home; fresh off sealing a major sale, she wasn't just spared dismissal but elevated to vice GM, plus a full week's break.
“Mr. Ye, I only shot back at that woman off the cuff; I'm not like that at all.” Lin Shanshan murmured bashfully.
“Oh? What are you getting at?” Ye Chen feigned ignorance.
Ye Chen couldn't suppress a grin at Lin Shanshan's embarrassed demeanor.
That innocent charm—she truly stood unmatched against Lin Shanshan.
“Relax, I'll guide you down the line.” Ye Chen shot back with a mischievous smirk.
“Hmph, as if I need lessons from you.” Lin Shanshan, sensing she'd been outmaneuvered, swatted Ye Chen's arm.
Once she stepped out, Ye Chen chuckled: “Don't forget that Five-Star Review.”
Lin Shanshan pursed her lips: “No rating without your WeChat first.”
Ye Chen agreed: “Sure thing.”
They swapped WeChat IDs, and then Lin Shanshan awarded Ye Chen a Five-Star Review.
