Stars In His Eyes

Chapter 1851: Sincerity in Treating Others

"Did you all plan to come together, or did you just happen to meet at the entrance?" Chen Yun greeted them.

Qi Chengnan was the first to answer, "We arranged to come together at this time because you said you had something to discuss with us, right? Half an hour should be enough for that, and then it’s time to eat." After a pause, Qi Chengnan added, "By the way, Lin Chan, didn’t a seafood restaurant open in the capital a few days ago? I remember you muttered something about it, so I noted it down. Perfect opportunity for Chen Yun to treat us tonight."

"Pfft~" Lin Chan spat out his tea and started laughing uncontrollably.

"Chen Yun’s treating us? I have the phone number of the seafood restaurant! Let’s call ahead to book a spot; I’ve heard their business is great, and you need to reserve in advance." Bian Mufan caught the tail end of Qi Chengnan’s words upon entering and got interested. "Why don’t we head over early, discuss business while we eat! By the way, Chen Yun, why didn’t you invite Lin Deng? Didn’t see him around."

"Get lost, you guys! Don’t you know my Empress Dowager is starving me to force me into marriage recently?" Chen Yun glared at them before starting on the real topic, "I called you guys here to talk about Lin Deng."

"What’s up with Lin Deng?" Lin Chan, upon hearing it was about Lin Deng, showed interest and concern; after all, Lin Deng was his cousin.

"Last week, a female prisoner suddenly got sick at the prison, and Ye Zi saved her. As a gesture of appreciation, they reduced Ye Zi’s sentence by a month. She’ll be out in a few days. When I visited, Ye Zi asked me not to tell Lin Deng about her early release," Chen Yun said.

"Ye Zi doesn’t want Lin Deng to know?" Lin Chan perked up and put down his tea. "What does Ye Zi mean by this? She didn’t meet Lin Deng during her sentence, and even avoided us, and now she doesn’t want him to know about her release. Trying to cut ties with Lin Deng?"

"I asked Ye Zi what she meant. Lin Deng clearly likes Ye Zi; he even said he would marry her once she’s out. Ye Zi is aware but doesn’t seem interested; she said she doesn’t plan to return to General Military Hospital and wants to go somewhere far to calm herself down. She mentioned going to the mountains to work as a nurse," Chen Yun said. "Although I’m a bit rough around the edges, when Ye Zi talked about Lin Deng, it didn’t seem like she disliked him. Don’t you think women have their quirks? Lin Deng wants to marry her, and she apparently likes Lin Deng. Wouldn’t it be easier to agree and be happy instead of making such a fuss and wanting to escape to avoid Lin Deng?"

"Destined to be lonely!" Lin Chan laughed. "Now I understand why you can’t find a match! Never heard the saying about women’s hearts being impossible to figure out? A woman’s heart is not something a straightforward guy like you can understand."

"If you understand women’s hearts, then tell me, should we inform Lin Deng?" Chen Yun, annoyed at Lin Chan’s teasing, asked, "If we tell Lin Deng, how will you explain it to Ye Zi? You didn’t see the determined look in Ye Zi’s eyes when she asked; her mind is made up."

"I..." Lin Chan was at a loss for words.

"Since you’re so good at understanding women, it’s settled. You decide whether to tell Lin Deng. If you choose to speak, then it’s on you as his cousin." Chen Yun shifted the burden to Lin Chan, stood up with a laugh, and clapped Lin Chan on the shoulder. "Your business has been booming lately; that’s great! Oh, didn’t you also mention you kissed Dongxue and she didn’t hit you? That’s something worth celebrating too! You’ve got so much to celebrate, so why not today? Book a private room at the seafood restaurant and let’s celebrate together!"
