Chapter 405 Engagement Ceremony
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Yan Ye called Acheng and asked him to investigate Jiang Mengru.
Soon, Acheng sent him Jiang Mengru's information.
After quickly glancing through the information, Yan Ye left the study to find Yue Yirou.
Yue Yirou was sitting on the living room sofa, looking troubled.
Jiang Mengru was her best friend since childhood. Even after all these years, Jiang Mengru still remembered her and personally called to invite her to her engagement ceremony. It would be a real shame for her not to attend, but Yan Ye…
When Yan Ye came out of the elevator, he saw Yue Yirou sitting alone on the sofa, looking sullen.
"Where's the baby?" he asked as he walked toward her.
Yue Yirou raised her eyes and glanced at him indifferently, then said in a muffled voice, "Aunt Wu and Uncle Xue took them outside to play."
"Really? I'll go out and check on him."
Yan Ye turned and walked towards the door, but after a few steps, he turned back, sat down next to Yue Yirou, and stared at her: "Do you really want to attend Jiang Mengru's engagement ceremony?"
Yue Yirou looked up at him, and after a long while, she nodded gently: "Yes, I haven't seen her for many years."
After saying that, she lowered her eyes again. She knew Yan Ye's personality and didn't dare to hope that he would put aside his so-called important matter to accompany her to Jiang Mengru's engagement ceremony.
She didn't mean to blame him, because she knew he had been holding back for a long time and had truly reached his limit.
"Night, how about you..." help me think of a reason to refuse.
"I'll go with you tonight."
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Ye interrupted her, saying that he would accompany her to Jiang Mengru's engagement ceremony that evening.
He agreed.
He was actually willing to give up what he considered to be very important.
Yue Yirou was both excited and moved.
She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him on the lips: "Night, thank you."
"Are you sure you want to thank me?" Yan Ye put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
"Mm." Yue Yirou nodded with a smile.
Yan Ye gently pecked her lips: "Then you can thank me properly when you get back tonight, okay?"
"Okay," Yue Yirou said shyly.
"Good girl." Yan Ye kissed her lips a few more times.
He actually wanted to let her express herself first, but he was worried that he would lose control and make her unable to walk, so he decided to hold back a little longer.
Jiang Mengru and Xu Shaojun's engagement ceremony was held at the Star Shine Hotel. As soon as Yue Yirou and Yan Ye appeared in the banquet hall, they caused a commotion and attracted a lot of attention.
"Wow, it's Young Master Ye! Doesn't Young Master Ye dislike attending these kinds of banquets?"
"Yes, if I had known Young Master Ye would be attending tonight, I would have asked a stylist to help me dress up nicely."
"No matter how well you dress up, Young Master Ye won't even look at you. He only has eyes for his wife."
"That's not necessarily true. They've been married for over a year now, so Young Master Ye is probably already tired of them."
……
Yan Ye was so dazzling. Although she was his wife, Yue Yirou couldn't help but feel nervous when she appeared with him in this kind of setting, and subconsciously gripped Yan Ye's arm tightly.
Yan Ye gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
"Yi Rou!" A cheerful female voice rang out. Yue Yi Rou looked up and saw a beautiful girl in a pink lace evening dress walking out of the crowd and heading straight towards them.
Although Jiang Mengru's appearance has changed somewhat since she was a child, Yue Yirou still recognized her at a glance.
"It's Mengru." Yue Yirou looked up at Yan Ye and said, a happy smile on her face.
Jiang Mengru walked over, wanting to hug Yue Yirou, but Yan Ye wouldn't let her. He subtly pulled Yue Yirou away and had the bodyguard behind him hand her the gift.
"Young Master Ye, Yi Rou, you're too kind. I'm already very happy that you could come to my and Shao Jun's engagement ceremony." Jiang Mengru accepted the gift with a smile on her face, not minding at all that Yan Ye wouldn't let her hug Yue Yi Rou.
"That's only right," Yue Yirou said with a smile.
Jiang Mengru turned to Xu Shaojun, who was standing not far behind her, and said, "Shaojun, come here for a moment."
Xu Shaojun was chatting with a guest nearby when he heard this and walked over to them with a wine glass in his hand.
Xu Shaojun wore glasses, looking handsome and refined.
After Jiang Mengru kissed Xu Shaojun on the lips, she took his arm and introduced him to Yan Ye and Yue Yirou. Xu Shaojun politely extended his hand to Yan Ye: "Young Master Ye, hello, I've heard so much about you. I'm Xu Shaojun from the Xu Group. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Yan Ye glanced at his outstretched hand and said indifferently, "Sorry, I don't have the habit of shaking hands with people."
"I understand." Xu Shaojun withdrew his hand and turned to Jiang Mengru, saying, "Mengru, it's time for us to go on stage and give our speeches."
"Oh, right." Jiang Mengru slapped her forehead. "Yi Rou, Ye Shao, Shao Jun and I are going to give a speech. You can do as you please."
"Okay." Yan Ye nodded.
After Jiang Mengru left with Xu Shaojun, Yan Ye's expression instantly turned cold: "Have you seen enough?"
He was speaking to the woman beside him.
Yue Yirou came to her senses and, upon seeing his expression, immediately realized that she had done something wrong.
He said urgently, "Night, you've misunderstood, I just..."
"I just think he's more handsome than me, so I can't take my eyes off him," Yan Ye interrupted her, his tone cold and sarcastic.
"No, I don't think he's more handsome than you," Yue Yirou said speechlessly.
"Then why are you staring at people like that? Your eyes are practically popping out."
"...I didn't." She was just confused because she felt a sense of familiarity when she saw Xu Shaojun. It was nothing like he was staring at her so intently, his eyes almost popping out. That was really exaggerated.
At this moment, a sexy woman, holding a wine glass, walked up to Yan Ye: "Young Master Ye, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am..."
"I don't want to know you."
Yan Ye didn't even glance at her, and pulled Yue Yirou away from the banquet hall, heading towards the courtyard.
A small burst of laughter rippled through the hall. The woman holding the wine glass stamped her foot in embarrassment and indignation as she watched their retreating figures.
"Night, where are you taking me? I haven't had a proper talk with Mengru yet."
Yue Yirou wanted Yan Ye to let her go. She had just arrived and didn't want to go back yet, especially since she hadn't even exchanged a few words with Jiang Mengru.
Yan Ye didn't answer her. With a cold face, he pulled her to a dark corner hidden by trees, pressed her against the wall, and then kissed her hard, with a hint of punishment.
He hadn't kissed her like this in a long time. Yue Yirou felt a little pain from his kiss, and was both scared and annoyed.
She was afraid he would do something even worse, and angry that he wouldn't listen to her explanation and would go berserk like before.
"Ugh... Yan Ye, don't do this..." She patted his chest, trying to push him away.
Yan Ye grabbed her hand and kissed it passionately until his anger subsided before letting her go.
