NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89: Is the Co-pilot Seat Where You Sit?
"What's wrong?"
"Sis, how do you coax an angry woman?" Wang Ye approached Chen Li with an embarrassed look and asked.
"What happened?" Chen Li glanced in the direction Fang Feifei had left, "Did you make Fang Feifei angry?"
"Yes." Wang Ye scratched his head in distress, "On the way back just now, she ignored me the whole time."
"She ignored you all the way back..."
Chen Li repeated what Wang Ye had said, reflecting on the information his words carried, "That means she was angry before she drove you back, but even though she was angry, she still drove you home. This indicates that she still cares about you, and there is room for reconciliation."
Chen Li looked at Wang Ye, "Tell me what happened."
Wang Ye recounted the day's events at the Fang Family Jewelry Store to Chen Li. After hearing what Wang Ye had said, Chen Li spoke to him, "She's definitely jealous, Wang Ye."
Chen Li's intelligent eyes stared at Wang Ye, very seriously, "Tell your sister the truth, has she ever expressed her feelings to you?"
Wang Ye, under Chen Li's detective-like gaze, knew she must have guessed the truth.
He couldn't help but admire Chen Li's astuteness. With just one sentence from him, Chen Li had captured useful information and deduced the actual truth.
"She has, but I rejected her." Since Chen Li had seen through him, Wang Ye didn't hide it anymore and laid it all out.
"Based on this incident, although she is angry now, she still has you in her heart. To coax her back into a good mood is simple."
"She's angry because you carved a pendant for Su Wanqing by hand from the Dragon Stone species, right? Then, just carve another pendant by hand from the Dragon Stone species and give it to her."
"I understand."
Wang Ye nodded, praising Chen Li, "My senior is incredible. The problem that has been troubling me all this way, with just a few words from my senior, I know what I should do next."
"Of course,"
Upon hearing Wang Ye's compliment, Chen Li responded proudly, without any false modesty with her junior brother.
"However..."
Chen Li's tone suddenly changed.
"However what?"
Hearing Chen Li's change of tone, Wang Ye focused on her. Chen Li looked at him seriously and said, "However, you need to think carefully about whether to coax her or not."
"If you do coax her, there is a good chance she will continue to like you. But if you don't, after she gets angry, your relationship might really just become that of friends or business partners from now on."
"Thank you, senior, I understand." Wang Ye showed a thoughtful expression. It indeed was a problem.
"Alright, no need to be so formal with your sister. Go get ready; we're about to have dinner soon, and your eldest senior will be back."
"Oh."
Wang Ye acknowledged and left to prepare. Soon, Xia Qingxin arrived. After hearing about the situation between Wang Ye and Fang Feifei, she suggested the same as Chen Li.
"However..."
Xia Qingxin stared at Wang Ye and said, "It's not good to always have others drive you, Wang Ye. It's time for you to buy a car."
"Buy a car?" Wang Ye was startled; he had just come down from the mountain and didn't know the price of a car, but they seemed convenient and fast, probably expensive.
He wondered if his sixty million was enough.
However, Wang Ye had no intention of asking Xia Qingxin for more money. Instead, he nodded, "Alright, I'll go buy a car tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Xia Qingxin nodded her head slightly, "After you buy the car tomorrow, let's meet up here, then we can go find your fifth senior sister together."
"Fifth senior sister, eh."
"Sure!"
Longing shone in Wang Ye's eyes, he had heard that his fifth senior sister had started a jewelry store. He wondered what expression would appear on her face when he gifted the Dragon Stone species pendant to her.
"What about the other senior sisters?"
Marriage is a serious matter, and although there wasn't much sentiment between him and Su Wanqing, he still hoped that all six senior sisters could be present.
"Your fourth senior sister has already contacted us, she'll be back on the day of your wedding. As for the third senior sister, she has been filming lately and we can't reach her, but we know where her crew is, so your second senior sister and I will go find her."
"The sixth senior sister is up to you," Xia Qingxin arranged the issues concerning the other senior sisters neatly in her speech.
...
The next day.
When Wang Ye arrived at the entrance of Peerless Medical Hall, he found that Fang Feifei was already waiting in her car.
Wang Ye looked at the car parked in front of Peerless Medical Hall and couldn't help but marvel inwardly at how his two senior sisters truly understood Fang Feifei's thoughts thoroughly.
Wang Ye opened the passenger door, intending to sit down, but Fang Feifei's voice suddenly rang out, "Don't you know only important people can sit in the passenger seat?"
"But I always used to sit in the passenger seat."
Wang Ye voiced his confusion but quickly caught on, "Oh, oh," he said a few times, about to get out of the passenger seat, only to hear Fang Feifei's cold voice ring out again:
"If you're seated already, then stay put, why get down and waste time!"
Wang Ye: "..."
Indeed, a woman's heart is as unfathomable as the ocean's depths.
Once in the car, Fang Feifei's face was cold, as if she wasn't the one who had come to pick up Wang Ye.
She looked straight ahead, showing no inclination to speak to Wang Ye.
"Miss Fang, I'm heading out to the provincial capital this afternoon," Wang Ye spoke up.
"Why are you telling me this? You are the chief appraiser of Fang Family Jewelry Store, and there's no need for you to go there every day," Fang Feifei's voice was very cold.
"If there's anything, you can tell me early, and I'll resolve it this morning."
"Nothing!" Fang Feifei replied curtly.
Seeing that Fang Feifei had no intention of speaking further, Wang Ye didn't say anything else either. Soon, they arrived at Fang Family Jewelry Store. After letting Wang Ye out of the car, Fang Feifei went to park the car by herself, showing no intention of joining Wang Ye in the store.
"Sigh."
Wang Ye watched Fang Feifei depart, exhaling in resignation and a touch of helplessness.
Sitting in the room where jade and jadeite were carved, Wang Ye contemplated over a piece of Dragon Stone species in his hands.
What should he carve for Fang Feifei?
Last night, Wang Ye had already decided that making up with Fang Feifei was necessary, he still intended to reconcile with her. After all, even if their relationship wasn't that kind yet, he wanted to maintain their friendship.
