"I feel like I've seen you before, where have we met?" He Yanming looked at Pan Shuangshuang and asked.

"I work at this restaurant. Whenever you came, He Xiangdong, I was the one serving you!" Pan Shuangshuang glanced at the restaurant and smiled at He Yanming.

"Ah, I see!" He Yanming suddenly realized.

"…"

Pan Shuangshuang didn't entangle with He Yanming any further and turned around to go back to work at the restaurant.

If this had been before today, Pan Shuangshuang would be starry-eyed upon seeing He Yanming because she liked outstanding men, men who could handle her.

With his illustrious family background and his own merits, He Yanming was definitely Pan Shuangshuang's type.

But, when compared to Ye Chen, He Yanming was clearly trash!

Pan Shuangshuang was filled with thoughts of Ye Chen, this enigmatic, mythological, heretical being.

Pan Shuangshuang wanted to post on her moments to record today's unique experience, to note down that mysterious man.

Would Ye Chen ever appear again?

Pan Shuangshuang didn't know, but she was looking forward to it.

The next day.

Ye Chen had just woken up when his phone rang, showing an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Ye Chen answered the call, not knowing whose it was.

"Ye Chen?" The caller was a woman.

"I am Ye Chen, who are you?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"I'm Pan Shuangshuang!"

"Pan Shuangshuang?" Ye Chen asked with some confusion.

"Yes!" Pan Shuangshuang said. "You said you understood me, knew my flawlessness. I even played along with your act yesterday, you played the grandee, and I played the lady!"

Pan Shuangshuang knew that calling him was somewhat presumptuous, but she would have felt depressed had she not made the call.

With a heat of the moment, a ghostly urge, a subconscious mischief, Pan Shuangshuang didn't know which it was, but anyhow, she made the call.

However, after Pan Shuangshuang got through and stated her name, Ye Chen sounded puzzled, as if he didn't recognize her, which made Pan Shuangshuang feel internally defeated. She quickly brought up yesterday's events so that Ye Chen would remember her.

"Pan Shuangshuang, it's you!"

Ye Chen remembered Pan Shuangshuang, that beautiful hostess at the restaurant, but he was obviously surprised by her call.

"Does my call surprise you that much?"

Pan Shuangshuang was somewhat unhappy. As a goddess, a 'white, rich, and beautiful' woman, when she took the initiative to call a man, wouldn't they typically cry out of joy?

Not only did Ye Chen not cry, but he also sounded so surprised, as if he really forgot about her.

It had only been one night, and Ye Chen had already forgotten her. How insignificant did she have to be!

"Haha, I'm not surprised; I'm just a bit taken aback, so much so that I'm almost a fool." Ye Chen said with an awkward laugh.

Ye Chen and Pan Shuangshuang had met just once, and he hadn't tried to pick her up, so now her sudden call was indeed unexpected.

"Hmph!" Pan Shuangshuang snorted proudly, sensing Ye Chen's perfunctory tone.

"Shuangshuang, why did you call me?" Ye Chen asked in confusion. "I remember, I didn't give you my number yesterday!"

Ye Chen was sure he was a pure-hearted young man. After seeing a goddess, he had no other thoughts, and he had left without giving his number, intending to cut off this fleeting connection.

But Pan Shuangshuang's call had left him a bit dazed. What was going on?

"I know you didn't give me your number, but you are our restaurant's diamond member, so I found it from your profile!" Pan Shuangshuang, holding the phone, her face flushed as she said this.

"Oh," Ye Chen replied.

Ye Chen was somewhat puzzled. Why was Pan Shuangshuang calling him?

Could it be that she was smitten by his good looks, wealth, and fighting skills, and had fallen for him at first sight, wanting to pursue him?

Ye Chen knew he had considerable charm, but surely it couldn't be that overwhelming!

"Thank you!" Pan Shuangshuang said.

"Thank me? What do you mean?" Ye Chen was a bit confused.

"Yesterday, you made He Yanming thank the lady, and today he took extra care of me," Pan Shuangshuang explained.

Yesterday He Yanming had been metaphorically shot while lying down; if it weren't for Pan Shuangshuang's intervention, he would have been seriously injured.

Moreover, even though Pan Shuangshuang tried to hide it, He Yanming had sensed something.

The relationship between Pan Shuangshuang and Ye Chen was definitely not simple; it was very likely that she was Ye Chen's woman, so He Yanming "thanked" Pan Shuangshuang.

At the restaurant where Pan Shuangshuang worked, He Yanming was the major shareholder. So with just a little show of support from him, Pan Shuangshuang was promoted from front desk receptionist to restaurant manager, leaping upwards several grades in her career.

Thus, Pan Shuangshuang's main reason for reaching out to Ye Chen was to express her gratitude.

"You did much more for him than he did for you. If it weren't for you pleading on his behalf, He Yanming would have been disabled by now. All of this is what you deserve, so you don't have to thank me!" Ye Chen said.

"Haha, anyway, I still need to thank you!" Pan Shuangshuang laughed.

"..."

Ye Chen paused, not saying anything because he had no interest in Pan Shuangshuang, so naturally, there was nothing more to say.

"Ye Chen, now that I'm the restaurant manager, when you come to eat here again, I'll give you your meal for free!"

Pan Shuangshuang wanted to express her thanks and invite Ye Chen out for a meal, but after much thought, she became too shy to ask and chose to express it in an indirect way.

"Sure, I'll come by for a free meal when I have time!" Ye Chen said.

"Really!" Pan Shuangshuang was delighted.

"Really!" Ye Chen affirmed.

"That's great!" Pan Shuangshuang was becoming more and more excited, wanting to jump for joy.

"Shuangshuang, I've got something to do right now, so I'm going to hang up, okay? We'll talk some other time when I'm free!" After saying that, Ye Chen hung up the phone as if he had urgent matters to attend to.

"..."

Pan Shuangshuang had wanted to chat a bit more; she was curious and interested in Ye Chen. His abrupt hang-up caught her by surprise.

But then, considering that Ye Chen might really have something important to do, Pan Shuangshuang felt relieved.

Pan Shuangshuang flipped through Ye Chen's information, found his contact number, and even took the initiative to call and ask him out for a meal, which was quite daring.

Pan Shuangshuang was a conservative girl, and for her, taking such a bold and direct approach required a great deal of courage.

But Ye Chen was enigmatic, like a captivating mist, sparking Pan Shuangshuang's curiosity. Besides, Ye Chen was wealthy, had status, and was capable; Pan Shuangshuang admired such qualities in a man.

So, Pan Shuangshuang took the initiative; she was bold, she was candid, and she didn't believe Ye Chen could ignore her charm.

Ye Chen didn't return to Qin Ying's villa but instead went to the courtyard house.

The Canglan Realm trip was set, and not only did Ye Chen need to relax, but he also had to attend to his women.

However, Ye Chen came up empty this time; Yun Xianghan wasn't at the courtyard house.
