Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 1876 - 1877: State Your Purpose

The man had a gentle smile on his face, giving off an impression of harmlessness and appearing very friendly!

Although the man seemed very friendly, Ye Xunhuan felt a sense of danger from him, filling his heart with alertness.

This man standing beside Ye Xunhuan made him feel as if there was a ferocious beast standing beside him.

Looking at the man in front of him, Ye Xunhuan was certain he didn't know this man and that it was the first time he had ever seen him.

Who exactly is he?

"You know me?"

"The name of the Marshal — who doesn't know it!" the man said softly, "Single-handedly defeating Shadow Phantoms, killing the Phantom King and Queen, the only one to kill a leader and take his place!"

The man seemed to be speaking about himself, his words filled with pride.

Mei Hanqing, sitting beside him, did not speak but listened quietly to the conversation between Ye Xunhuan and this man, without any dissatisfaction.

"Marshal, if you chase me away, I can sit down!"

Without giving Ye Xunhuan a chance to respond, the man sat down beside him.

Ye Xunhuan did not tell him to get lost.

"And who might you be?"

"I don't want to tell you yet," the man said softly. "Allow me to keep you in suspense!"

"Then why have you come to see me..."

Though Ye Xunhuan was curious about who this man was, he didn't continue to ask. The man had made it clear he wouldn't tell Ye Xunhuan, and even if he continued to ask, Ye Xunhuan wouldn't get an answer, so he decided not to pursue it.

"I think we should eat and talk at the same time. Don't worry, you provide the food, I'll provide the alcohol, and it will definitely be good alcohol — you won't be at a loss!"

"Well, let me ask my woman if she minds you sitting here!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan turned to look at Mei Hanqing, the implication clear.

Before Mei Hanqing could speak, the man very politely and gentlemanly said to her, "I believe this beautiful lady won't chase me away; after all, women in Huaxia are known for being generous and kind!"

Although Mei Hanqing didn't know who this man was or what his relationship with Ye Xunhuan was, his move to advance by retreating was quite clever and skillful.

Even if the man hadn't said this, Mei Hanqing wouldn't have chased him away.

Even though deep down, she didn't want the man to stay here and disturb her and Ye Xunhuan.

"It's up to you!" Mei Hanqing softly said to Ye Xunhuan.

When men and women are together, smart women generally give men face in public, and clearly, Mei Hanqing was one of those smart women.

"Marshal, in the end, it's still up to you to decide!"

"Since you want to sit here, then sit here," Ye Xunhuan also wanted to see what this man was really after.

"Alright, I'll have someone bring the alcohol here!"

The man seemed to realize something, "Do they allow you to bring your own alcohol here?"

"Just ask and find out!"

"Makes sense!"

The man snapped his fingers to call over a waiter and asked.

This Red Pigeon restaurant is quite lenient with alcohol policies; you can bring it from outside or drink here!

Since the restaurant allows customers to bring their own alcohol, the man took out his phone, made a call, and after speaking a string of words, hung up.

"Someone will deliver it soon," he said to Ye Xunhuan!

"You didn't just come here to eat and drink with me, did you?"

"To chat about life, too," the man added simply.

Ye Xunhuan chuckled softly, "You're the first one to come talk to me about life!"

"Then I'm quite honored!" The man glanced at Ye Xunhuan. "No one has ever come to discuss life with you? That's quite a blunder in life's journey!"

While Ye Xunhuan and the man were talking, a burly man in a suit and sunglasses, exuding the air of a strongman, like figures from The Matrix, walked in, drawing considerable attention.

Upon entering, the burly man walked straight over to Ye Xunhuan—or more accurately, toward the man sitting with Ye Xunhuan.

In an instant, he reached Ye Xunhuan's table, placed two bottles of alcohol on it, and left coolly without saying a word.

Ye Xunhuan didn't care and turned his gaze to the man sitting opposite him.

The man paid no attention to Ye Xunhuan's gaze and simply opened the alcohol.

The moment the bottle was opened, a rich aroma filled the air, catching everyone's attention.

Ye Xunhuan didn't expect the alcohol sent by the man to be so fragrant; once opened, the rich aroma filled the room—like a ten-mile fragrance trail.

The man ignored everyone's stares and, after opening the bottle, poured a cup for Ye Xunhuan, then turned to Mei Hanqing, "Miss Mei, you should have some too; this alcohol is good for the skin!"

The man then poured a cup for Mei Hanqing.

Fortunately, the waiter had just brought another set of dishes and cups; otherwise, the man would have had to drink straight from the bottle.

"Marshal, shall we have a drink together?"

The man glanced at Mei Hanqing, his intentions clear.

Ye Xunhuan didn't refuse; he picked up the cup, as did Mei Hanqing!

After taking a sip, Ye Xunhuan set the cup back on the table, "The alcohol's good!"

"Of course, it's brewed with many herbs," the man said softly. "I went through a lot to get only a few pounds of this, and I'm giving you two pounds here. What do you think—isn't that something?"

"I think I know who you are!" Ye Xunhuan said calmly.

The man paused, then chuckled, "If you see through something, don't speak of it. What do you think?"

"I'm curious why you left Europe to come to Huaxia," Ye Xunhuan said coolly. "Are you after the Taiji Seal, or are you here to kill me?"

"But killing me shouldn't mean much to you. Besides, you may not be able to kill me!"

"Marshal, of course, I have my reasons. But today, I don't want to talk about them. I just want to drink and chat with you. Next time we meet, it'll be a different scenario between us!"

Perhaps because Mei Hanqing was present, the man spoke tactfully without directly mentioning life and death.

"Do you think I'll believe you came just to chat with me?"

The man let out a sigh, "It seems we won't have a peaceful drink, after all!"

"So tell me your purpose!"
