n10 pm that night.

nSun Yi did not drive this time. Instead, she walked back to her apartment.

nShe let the cold breeze blow in her face, hoping it would clear her mind.

nThe happenings of the day were like an emotional rollercoaster to her.

nThe man she had been looking down on had actually given her a formula worth a billion as though it was nothing.

nYe Chen had told her that morning that the formula could keep a listed company afloat. Back then, she had turned her nose up at him, assuming that he was just a pathetic fraud telling a tall tale.

nLooking back now, she was the pathetic one there!

n“Ye Cheng, did you want me to embarrass myself? Why did you give me something so valuable? Why didn’t you tell me it was real…?”

nSun Yi arrived at her apartment door eventually, and she took out her key but did not dare to open her door.

nShe was afraid to open the door only to find that Ye Chen was not on the other side.

nSu Na’s trampling on it meant that the formula was missing an ingredient, so the group could not use it as it was. That was why Xia Ruoxue had ordered her to find the person behind the formula.

nThat order came regardless of the cost.

nIf she could find Ye Chen, she would be the Magnificent Group’s number one heroine.

nIf she could not, however, she would be the Magnificent Group’s number one sinner.

nThe key went in anyway, and the door opened.

nThe lights were off inside, and there was no one home.

n“He… didn’t come back.”

nThat was when Sun Yi finally lost her composure. All of her unhappiness and regret surged over her like a wave!

nShe crouched down to the ground and hugged her knees, wailing out loud!

n“Why? Why are you doing this to me? I’m sorry, so won’t you just accept my apology and forgive me?

n“Why did you leave? Why didn’t you come back? I was wrong, I know I was wrong!

n“If you come back, I’ll do anything you want me to do! I’ll even let you stay here forever! Why don’t you just come back?”

nSun Yi wailed louder and louder. She wanted to air all the grievances she had pent up today.

nJust as she was at her most helpless, a lazy voice spoke behind her, “Hey, what are you doing crying at the door, gorgeous? Who hurt you? Do you need a man’s warm embrace?”

nWhen she heard that familiar voice, Sun Yi’s tears immediately dried up!

n…

nAfter that, Ye Chen changed into his slippers and walked in. By then, he saw that Sun Yi was already seated and waiting for him.

nShe even glanced at him out of the corner of her eye every so often.

n“Did I become more handsome today?” Ye Chen said vainly, looking at himself in the mirror.

nJust then, Sun Yi bit her lips and finally spoke,

n“You… Tell me honestly… Was the serviette you gave me today really the formula for the Beauty Pill?”

nYe Chen blinked. He was wondering why Sun Yi’s attitude had changed so drastically. So it was because of the formula.

nThe researchers at her place had probably seen it, and they told her how much it was worth.

nHe took an apple from the platter of fruit on the coffee table, and after rubbing it with his shirt, he brought it to his mouth. “How could I possibly give you a fake? I might trick others, but I’d never trick you.”

nSun Yi had mentally prepared herself for this, but when she heard that the formula was real, her heart still trembled slightly.

nShe bit her rosy lips and said softly, “You… Why did you give me something so valuable? I… I’ll return it to you.”

nYe Chen stood up and waved her off. “Why would you return it to me? It’s yours now. Did you forget? You accepted that formula in exchange for three thousand bucks and a month’s worth of rent. If you give it back to me, I’ll move out right now and end up on the streets!”

n“But…” Sun Yi wanted to say something, but Ye Chen interrupted her.

n“No more buts. The one I gave you was the most rudimentary one I had. If you don’t want it, you can just toss it away.”

nWhen Sun Yi heard that, she could not help a sharp intake of breath.

nThis man was too casual about this. How could she just throw away something this valuable, something worth a billion bucks?

nAlso, this Beauty Pill formula was the most rudimentary one he had?

nWhat shocking secrets were this guy hiding?!

nOnly then did Sun Yi realize that she had yet to know anything about this guy’s background. It was as though he had appeared out of nowhere.

nIf he did not resemble her dearly departed classmate so, she would never have had anything to do with him!

nIf there was anything Ye Chen hated, it was a woman’s indecisiveness. He did not want to waste too much breath over the Beauty Pill, so he said, “I’m a little tired today, so I’ll go rest for now. You should rest early too.”

nWhen Sun Yi saw that Ye Chen was leaving, she suddenly remembered something and said,

n“Wait a minute!”

nYe Chen stopped in his tracks.

n“Is there anything else?”

nSun Yi said hastily, “Um… You wanted to see Xia Ruoxue, right?”

nYe Chen turned around in surprise, waiting for Sun Yi to continue.

n“Your formula could very well save the Magnificent Group from the brink of collapse. That’s why President Xia wants to meet you personally, tomorrow morning at ten, at the Magnificent Group’s presidential office. Would you be available?”

nIf it was the day before yesterday, Ye Chen might have agreed without hesitation.

nAfter all, he could complete the old geezer’s request if he met Xia Ruoxue.

nNow, however, he was no longer in such a rush. His entire heart was set on his cultivation.

nOnly cultivation would allow him to go to Capital City for his revenge!

nOnly cultivation would allow him to solve the mystery of the black stone!

nHe already had ten million in hand, and that was enough for him to buy the materials he needed for his cultivation. He had been planning to visit the apothecaries around River City tomorrow, so he just had to decline Xia Ruoxue’s invitation.

nSo she wanted him to meet her in the president’s office?

nWhat right did she have to make him go there?

nIf you really want to meet me, get off your high horse and come find me here!

nI have no obligation to go look for you!

n“I’m busy.”

nYe Chen said those two simple words and closed the door behind him, leaving Sun Yi stunned on the spot.
