Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 Promises Made

"No objections? Good." Ye Guichen nodded with satisfaction, then called the waiter over, pointed at Big Head, and said, "He's paying."

After saying that, Ye Guichen swaggered off.

The waiter had already been watching the situation closely. Seeing the whole room drunk and only Ye Guichen still standing, the waiter was shocked and couldn't help but feel a deep respect for him.

Big Head, however, looked ashen-faced.

Here, he didn't dare to default on the bill. Even with a dozen people, he didn't have the guts.

"You little bastard, just wait, I'm gonna kill you!" Big Head looked at the nearly 100,000 yuan bill, feeling his heart bleed.

...

"Ye Guichen, why did you come out?" Chen Ziran, who was frantic and thought something had happened to Ye Guichen, had just rushed to the restaurant entrance when she saw Ye Guichen coming out.

She looked behind him, not seeing anyone from the restaurant or Big Head and his gang, and asked curiously, "You're okay?"

Although Chen Ziran didn't want to marry Ye Guichen, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life if something really happened to him because of her.

But now, the situation seemed a bit unexpected.

"Honey, look at you, you're tough on the outside but soft on the inside. You're starting to worry about me already?" Ye Guichen said, swaying and holding his head, "No, no, honey, help me, I drank too much tonight, I can't stand."

With that, he staggered into Chen Ziran's arms.

Chen Ziran felt like she had been electrocuted.

Since she was born, she had never touched another man, but now, she was being held by this unmet fiancé.

"You, get off me!" Chen Ziran shouted, looking down, speechless.

Ye Guichen had fallen asleep and started snoring. If she let go, he would definitely fall to the ground.

Helplessly, Chen Ziran had to support Ye Guichen and barely managed to get a cab.

"Hey, wake up, wake up!" She was at a loss after getting Ye Guichen into the car; no matter how she called, he wouldn't wake up.

With no other option, Chen Ziran told the driver to head to her place first.

She didn't notice that as the car started, a sly smile appeared at the corner of Ye Guichen's mouth.

Such a kind-hearted girl.

Early the next morning, Chen Ziran was woken up by a phone ringing.

After being up all night, she was groggy and a bit confused as she answered the call.

"Hello?" Annie, her secretary, was on the line.

As soon as Annie heard Chen Ziran's voice, she screamed: "Mr. Chen, something terrible has happened. Big Head from the Security Department had his arm broken, and he's threatening to break all of Ye Guichen's limbs!"

Chen Ziran woke up instantly.

"Ye Guichen?" She instinctively looked over at the sofa.

Last night, after dragging Ye Guichen home and throwing him on the sofa, she barely freshened up before falling asleep herself.

Now, Ye Guichen was nowhere to be seen.

Although she didn't know what happened last night, hearing Annie's words made her shudder: "Could it be him? How could a country bumpkin dare to touch Big Head?"

The bathroom door opened, and Ye Guichen walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Honey, you're awake?" He grinned.

Chen Ziran was stunned, her eyes glued to Ye Guichen's muscles, speechless and unable to look away.

She had to admit, although Ye Guichen looked thin, his muscles were surprisingly well-built and attractive.

"Hehe, how about it, are you mesmerized by your husband's body?" Ye Guichen shamelessly walked up to her.

Reacting, Chen Ziran kicked at him: "You pervert, we haven't even registered yet! Who said you could take a bath here?"

Ye Guichen caught her ankle, grinning: "What does it matter if we're registered or not? We'll be family sooner or later. Bathing at my wife's place is perfectly justified, who cares, hehe."

"You, you..." Chen Ziran, exasperated, found her foot as if clamped, unable to pull it out of his hand no matter how hard she tried.

Finally giving up, Chen Ziran said, "Let go of me!"

Ye Guichen released his grip, and she fell onto the bed with a thump.

"Argh! Don't you have any sense of chivalry?" Chen Ziran was almost driven crazy.

How did she end up with such an oddball?

Other men treated her with caution and fear of offending her.

But this guy not only didn't consider her an outsider, he also completely lacked any sense of chivalry.

"Put on your clothes now," she demanded, seething.

"Okay," Ye Guichen agreed, starting to remove the towel right in front of her. Chen Ziran screamed immediately: "Go to the bathroom, now!"

Half a day later, Ye Guichen came out dressed, Chen Ziran already prepared.

However, her face was as red as a pig's liver, ugly as can be: "Ye Guichen, what happened last night? Did you break Big Head's arm?"

"Sort of," Ye Guichen replied innocently, "He insisted on treating me to dinner, I refused, so he self-harmed. You know us country folks are honest; we can't stand seeing that, so reluctantly, I agreed."

"Big Head self-harmed to treat you to dinner?" Chen Ziran didn't believe a single word: "Big Head used to be a thug; now he's threatening to break your limbs. If you don't want to become disabled, leave Yun City immediately."

She knew Big Head's capabilities, not only could he fight, but he was also well-connected.

Otherwise, the Chen Family wouldn't have turned a blind eye to his antics.

She had only intended to scare Ye Guichen away using Big Head, not expecting to actually provoke him.

Even if she wanted to protect Ye Guichen now, it might not be possible.

Ye Guichen didn't take her warning seriously, smiling: "Honey, we still have a week left, why rush? Besides, I haven't fulfilled my promise to you yet."

"What? Ye Guichen, who do you think you are? You want to fight Big Head? You think he'll listen to you? Quit dreaming. If you keep being stubborn, you'll really get hurt." Chen Ziran was anxious.

She had no fondness for Ye Guichen, but if something happened because of her, she couldn't face her late grandfather.

"Alright, your husband knows what he's doing." Ye Guichen turned and headed for the door: "Off to work I go."

"You..." Chen Ziran hadn't anticipated his indifference, stomping her foot in anger: "Fine, let's see how tough you are, just don't come begging like a beaten dog later!"

They both walked out one after the other.

News that Big Head from the Security Department was fleeced by Ye Guichen quickly spread throughout the Chen Group.

By the time Ye Guichen arrived at the Security Department, a crowd had already gathered outside.
