Chu Yan’s expression did not change as he sat down on the sofa next to him.
Ye Qingran stopped smiling and her expression became slightly serious. She stared at Chu Yan without blinking. “I know that you’re very interested in the Dragon Palace and don’t want that Long fella to know about it for the time being. We’ve already discovered the secret of the Dragon Palace, but there were simply too many of them just now. In a moment of desperation, I told them that I knew that the Dragon Palace had installed surveillance cameras.”
Chu Yan was not surprised at all. He only responded faintly, “Oh.”
Ye Qingran smiled. “You’re not angry?”
Chu Yan said indifferently, “You’ve already told them. Is there any use for me to be angry?”
Ye Qingran said, “Since Long Junyao already knows about it, it might be quite troublesome in the future. Since we’ve already alerted the snake, should we lure it out directly?”
Chu Yan asked, “Do you know why I asked you to keep an eye on the Dragon Palace?”
Of course Ye Qingran knew.
But she was hesitating whether she should say the truth.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak up. “Because you think you most likely know the person behind the Dragon Palace. If I’m not guessing wrongly, you’re not suspecting, but rather you’re certain that the person behind the Dragon Palace is someone you know.”
Chu Yan nodded.
This meant that Ye Qingran was right.
He asked again, “Then, how much do you know about Long Junyao?”
Ye Qingran said, “I’ve been monitoring him for a period of time, so I know everything I should know. This Long Junyao is the illegitimate son of the Long family in the capital city, so he’s not popular in the Long family, and he’s not being groomed as the heir. But as a child of the Long family, everyone will receive a hefty inheritance regardless, and the money will be enough for them to squander for a lifetime.”
The book didn’t mention if there was anyone else behind the Dragon Palace. However, it did talk about Long Junyao’s family background and his best friend, the heir of the Su family in the capital city — Su Yian.
Long Junyao was not only willing to share the female lead with Su Yian.
He even succeeded in becoming the person in charge of the long family with Su Yian’s help.
All of this showed that he and Su Yian were more than just friends.
No relationship in the business world could compare to the intimacy brought about by mutual interest.
She continued, “But Long Junyao is different from the other children of the Long family. He is not satisfied with the current situation and has been eyeing the Long family covetously. So, he hooked up with the Su family in the capital city and established a strong interest relationship with them. If I’m not wrong, the person supporting Long Junyao in the Dragon Palace is the Su family.”
Chu Yan stared at Ye Qingran, who was laughing wildly.
He naturally knew what Ye Qingran knew from observing thee Dragon Palace. He knew so much just from the observation over the past few days.
It was indeed very surprising.
Seeing Chu Yan staring at her and lost in thought, Ye Qingran raised her hand and waved.
She looked at him mockingly. “Why are you staring at me? Could it be that you like me?”
Chu Yan raised the corner of his mouth. “I like you. Are you interested in coming to my company?”
He had a satisfied look on his face. Who would want to be his employee? Ye Qingran snorted arrogantly. “You want a minor to work for you? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll report you?”
Chu Yan explained, “I’m talking about the future.”
Ye Qingran shook her head. “I’m not interested.”
If Chu Yan became her boss, how could she tease him in the future?
She asked, “Then what are you going to do with the Dragon Palace now?”
Chu Yan looked at her with a deep gaze. “Even if a mere Dragon Palace is gone, it will not be enough for the Su family to make a move. Don’t use luring the snake out of its hole to convince me.”
“What you’re saying is to buy the Dragon Palace directly?”
“Isn’t that what you meant after telling me so much?”
“Heehee! “Ye Qingran laughed embarrassedly after being exposed.
She coughed lightly and teased, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you with the acquisition. If you go bankrupt because of the acquisition of the Dragon Palace, I’ll definitely support you in the future.”
Chu Yan could not help but laugh. “Support me? We’ll talk about it after you’ve settled the house.”
Ye Qingran pretended not to understand him.
She tilted her head slightly and changed the topic. “Brother, your smile is really beautiful. I suggest that you don’t smile at others so often in the future. If you meet someone with poor self-control that day and can’t help but turn into a beast, you’ll be in big trouble.”
“You’re noisy.”
Chu Yan’s finger knocked on Ye Qingran’s head.
Ye Qingran was about to say something when she suddenly smelled a burning smell.
She subconsciously sniffed and looked at the kitchen. Then, she asked Chu Yan, “Brother, can He Cizhou Cook?”
Chu Yan stood up and went to the kitchen.
Ye Qingran followed him quickly.
He Cizhou was already cooking, but he did not turn on the range hood.
The kitchen was filled with smoke.
The dresser was in a mess. It was filled with seasonings, vegetables, and egg shells.
As he struggled with the fried eggs in the pot, he waved his hand to fan away the smoke. “Cough, cough. Heavens, why is there so much smoke?”
When he saw Ye Qingran and Chu Yan enter, he immediately shouted, “Wait outside! It’ll be ready soon.”
“Why didn’t you turn on the range hood?” Ye Qingran asked. She wanted to turn on the range hood, but Chu Yan had already turned it on before her.
She was flabbergasted!
She thought that she was already the biggest idiot in the kitchen.
She did not expect He Cizhou to be worse than her. At least, she knew that she had to turn on the range hood before cooking. This was common sense.
Knowing that she was not at the bottom, Ye Qingran was instantly very happy.
He Cizhou was very embarrassed. “The dishes today are a little more complicated, so it’s a little chaotic.”
Ye Qingran took a look. He Cizhou was making the same dish as her, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
He was still using the bowl of tomatoes that she had cut.
She nodded. “Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is indeed too difficult. I just turned around, and it turned black on its own.”
He Cizhou looked as if he had met his soulmate and nodded excitedly. “Yes, yes. I also feel that it’s very difficult because I forgot to turn on the range hood. I couldn’t see clearly in the pot, and it burned before I could turn it over.”
Chu Yan:”...”
He looked at the two people who had appreciated each other because of a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
They fell into a strange silence.
He Cizhou: “This scrambled eggs with tomatoes dish is simply the most difficult dish in the world.”
Ye Qingran: “I feel that the simpler the dish, the harder it is to cook.”
He Cizhou: “No wonder those famous chefs don’t like to cook scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”
Ye Qingran asked, “Brother, is that so?”
Chu Yan: “...”
He simply did not look at them. He rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, “Get out.”
He Cizhou understood Chu Yan and quickly slipped away. “That... I... I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do! I’ll be leaving first. Bye bye!”
Ye Qingran smiled slightly. “Brother, I think I can still learn how to cook a dish that isn’t as difficult as scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”
Chu Yan:”...”
He just wanted to say that scrambled eggs with tomatoes was such a simple dish that could not be any simpler!
