Chapter 85: Let Me Hug You for a While

All the girls clapped and cheered!

Full of rage, Ye Chen quietly simmered down and looked at Anya with a baffled gaze that implied confusion.

Ye Yutang embarrassingly patted his clothes as coffee was stuck in his hair. Before he could hit Anya, he was stopped by Ye Chen. He gave Ye Chen a deadly stare as he left in utter embarrassment whilst insulting Anya.

“Anya, you have taught him a very good lesson!”

“Anya, you sure are brave…”

“Anya, you are my goddess…”

“…”

Even as the girls laughed, Cheng Anya felt comforted. Surely, Ye Chen was psychologically damaged, but he had won their hearts.

Everyone looked at Ye Chen’s strange look and then quietly left the reception room.

Cheng Anya’s face was flushed, her heart palpitating. She could not understand how she became so impulsive and could not endure what Ye Chen had endured.

Why couldn’t she?

When she was being outraged by Ye Yutang earlier, she was not angry to the point of losing her marbles. It was when she heard him insulting Ye Chen that she was so angry that she stood up for Ye Chen.

But she knew she was in trouble!

That person was the second master of MBS, the most beloved of Old Master Ye’s sons. Ye Chen might be the president of MBS, but Old Master Ye had control of the board of directors.

“President Ye… I, ah…” Cheng Anya wanted to explain her impulsiveness but soon found Ye Chen’s arms tightening around her as she knocked into his embrace. She was totally flushed.

“You…” She froze mid-statement as she tried to ask.

“Don’t talk. Let me hug you for a while!” Ye Chen said hoarsely as he held her tightly. There was a sense of pleading in his hoarse voice. “Just for a while!”

In spite of his many experiences since young, there was only one person who protected Ye Chen like that. It was his mother.

In the Ye family, Ye Yukun and Ye Yutang bullied him in spades. Being beaten and scolded was usual and all Ye Chen could do was to endure and not retaliate as he could not.

After her mother died, Ye Chen was sent to the United States. In those few years, he did not say a word. After escaping from the mental institution, he got into an underground fight club. Those two years were his most humiliating, yet strongest years.
