Chapter 74 The Conflicted Xue
Chapter 74 The Conflicted Xue
Once again being called a child by a woman, Ye Fei wasn't as angry as when Ming Yuexin called him a child.
Through his conversation with Li Xue just now, he realized that sometimes he still approached things with a heavy childishness.
More importantly, he deeply admired Li Xue, especially since she was significantly older than him.
Being called a child by her didn't bother him, so he smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. What you need to do now is to calm your mind because you are about to become the CEO of a hundred-billion-dollar company."
Li Xue thought about it and agreed. She didn't really need to know all these details.
Even if his money came from questionable sources, she couldn't refuse his proposal. In the past, she might not have understood this, but in the past two years helping Aunt Li manage the orphanage's affairs, she had realized the extent of the hardships here. She and Aunt Li had to worry so much every day.
So, for these children, even if she had to do something extreme, she would probably agree.
What Li Xue didn't know was that this time, she guessed correctly again. Ye Fei's money was indeed acquired through less than legitimate means, but no one knew it was him.
Knowing the family's predicament, Ye Fei had started preparing. Through online means in recent days, he had acquired a considerable sum of money without leaving a trace.
Although it was mostly for fun and not a significant amount, a hundred billion was definitely achievable.
So, he took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Li Xue, saying, "I'm not exactly sure how much money is in this card, but there is definitely a hundred billion. The password is 123456. You can hold onto it for now. If it's not enough, just ask me for more. But I hope this company's association with me remains discreet. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Somewhat dazed, Li Xue took the golden card handed to her by Ye Fei. Her mind was reeling with shock.
Could it be that this small card really contained a hundred billion?
And this kid was quite something. He didn't even know how much money was in his own card. Most importantly, he handed the card over to her so casually. However, she never placed much importance on money.
In the past, she had worked hard to earn money for the children in the orphanage, never considering what would happen if she had more money than she could spend. So, she quickly composed herself and joked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with this money?"
Li Xue's reaction at this moment made Ye Fei even more satisfied with her. He also smiled and said, "I believe you won't. Otherwise, you wouldn't have stayed at this orphanage all this time. With your talent and beauty, what kind of life can't you lead?"
Li Xue was taken aback by his words. Had he noticed something? So, she tentatively said, "I can accept that I have talent, but as for my looks, who would be interested in me?"
Ye Fei smiled faintly and said, "Your disguise skills are good, but they can't fool me. So, there's no need to pretend anymore."
Li Xue was so shocked that she almost dropped the card in her hand. How did he figure it out?
The disguise skills she had learned from Aunt Li were so flawless that even experts in beauty salons couldn't detect any flaws.
Yet, this was the first time he had seen her, and he could see through it. This made Li Xue extremely curious about Ye Fei.
What kind of person was he? Initially, when she first saw him, she thought he was just an ordinary boy similar to Purple Hair and the others.
However, as their conversation delved deeper, she began to feel that he was extraordinary, even slightly mysterious.
At the same time, Li Xue also thought of a possibility, that since he had seen through her true appearance, would he have any inappropriate demands on her?
Don't many big bosses try to obtain beautiful women through such means?
Although she had been disguising herself since the age of seven and had never experienced it, she had heard about it quite a bit. What if he took the opportunity to make such a request to her?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Xue was surprised to find that she wasn't particularly averse to it, and even had a bit of anticipation.
Although she had never experienced such emotions, let alone that kind of thing, at twenty-seven, her mind and body were mature enough. In quiet moments of the night, she had felt that longing, and even had those shy dreams. And Ye Fei, tall, handsome, kind, generous, and even a bit mysterious, embodied all the characteristics of the perfect man she could imagine.
Although in her eyes he was still a child, she couldn't help but admit that she was a little moved.
"State your request." It was unclear what mindset Li Xue was in when she uttered these words.
However, Ye Fei was momentarily stunned by her words and asked, "What request?"
"You've brought out so much money to help us, it's impossible that you have no requests of me, right?" Li Xue hinted, "Go ahead, whatever request, I will agree to it."
Seeing her slightly blushing face, Ye Fei immediately understood what she was thinking. He couldn't help but wryly smile to himself.
Did he really appear this way in her eyes?
True, Ye Fei found her somewhat stunning, and even felt a bit envious of her perfect figure. However, that was just a normal man's normal reaction.
Although he had experienced that intoxicating feeling with Ye Ningsuan and Ye Yunqi, he was somewhat enamored with that sensation, but he didn't like those emotionless encounters. His feelings towards Li Xue were purely admiration and instinctive appreciation for now.
However, seeing Li Xue looking so generous, he couldn't resist teasing her, so he put on a lecherous look and scanned her body, chuckling, "Well, then I'll state my request."
"Go ahead!" Li Xue was nervous, unsure of how she would react if he made such a request.
Although she didn't entirely reject the idea of something happening between them, there was still some reluctance in her heart.
Of course, if Ye Fei agreed to be with her for the rest of their lives, she might not have any reluctance at all.
Suddenly, Ye Fei revealed a baby-like innocent smile, "My request is that you manage the company diligently, and in the future, try to accommodate as many homeless and orphaned children as possible in this orphanage."
