Driver of the Beautiful CEO - Chapter 19 - The Phone Rang

Chapter 19: The Phone Rang

Of course, Bai Bin didn’t believe such gibberish as “I forgot” but, he also didn’t intend to continue questioning. After all, what mattered was that Liu Yanbo stood alive in front of him, the rest could be forgotten!

“When you have time we can go back together. You haven’t gone back for so many years, and now you’re married. Let’s bring this good news back and tell everyone!” Bai Bin grabbed the hip flask from Liu Yanbo and took a big sip.

Liu Yanbo was a heavy smoker. After finishing his cigarette and lighting up another, his eyes fell on Yin Hanruo in the private room. There was no change to his expression, as he calmly asked, “she told you everything?”

“Mm-hmm” Bai Bin nodded, then looked at Liu Yanbo with some displeasure and asked, “why? If your wife hadn’t said anything, were you going to keep it from me?”

“I did think of that.”

Truth be told, Liu Yanbo really didn’t want to tell Bai Bin about his marriage to Yin Hanruo. Not because of the rules he had reached with Yin Hanruo, but because he didn’t want to disappoint Bai Bin.

For Liu Yanbo, this contract marriage was only a temporary stop when he had nowhere to go.

For Bai Bin, this was the dawn of hope.

When two people who only have each other are locked in the same dark cage. No matter who goes out first, the sun will light up the other through the prison door.

Liu Yanbo knew this very well, but he also knew that what he brought to others was usually not hope.

“You…” Bai Bin wanted to be angry, but he swallowed it back. Then he deeply looked at Liu Yanbo and asked: “Young Sir Bo, am I now a stranger to you? “

“You think too much.” Liu Yanbo playfully punched Bai Bin’s shoulder and said with a smile: “You know me, I’ve been like this since I was a kid. Besides, I married her privately, and she has a big family in the capital. I’m a poor loser, who knows what will happen in the future? After all, in this day and age, divorce is like drinking water and marriage certificates are useless!”

“Are you afraid her family will look down on you?” Bai Bin frowned, a little anxious.

For Bai Bin, appearance-wise, Liu Yanbo was indeed unworthy of Yin Hanruo, but he was the only one allowed to think so, others couldn’t!

Whoever dared to look down on Liu Yanbo was his sworn enemy.

“Do you think her family would look up to me? For what reason?” Liu Yanbo asked with a smile.

Reason?

Would they look up to him for his dual identity as a taxi driver and a valet driver?

Yin Hanruo’s family was not kicked by a donkey in the head.

Bai Bin was left speechless by Liu Yanbo’s question.

“All right. Why do you think so much? What does it matter if I get married or not? When I’m ready…” Liu Yanbo eyes twitched, firmly gripping Bai Bin’s shoulder: “We’ll go home together.”

Bai Bin put his hand on Liu Yanbo’s back and heartily nodded: “Yes! We have to go home together.”

After his cigarette was finished, Liu Yanbo habitually reached for another one.

“Wait! Try this one.”

Bai Bin stopped Liu Yanbo and revealed a pack of top-tier government-issued cigarettes from his pocket.

“Oh man! This is good stuff. It seems that our young Sir Bin is really doing well now.” Liu Yanbo took a cigarette with a smile and put it on his nose to smell it.

“Of course! Did you forget who this guy is?” Bai Bin boasted.

…

Looking at the two men on the balcony who were glued shoulder-to-shoulder, playfully talking, those sitting in the private room all breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’ve never seen Captain so happy,” one softly said.

Another echoed: “Yeah! I haven’t seen it either.”

As comrades for many years, they have seen his joys and sorrows, his responsibility, his vulnerability when secretly wiping tears in the middle of the night, his loyalty to the country, and his cruelty to the enemy…. But they have not seen Bai Bin like this now, as happy as a child.

They were happy for him.

Yin Hanruo was watching Liu Yanbo. She didn’t understand the man and probably no one did.

Not knowing his joys and sorrows, his past, and not even who he was now.

He was like a stranger wearing all kinds of masks: smiling and looking at everything around him, living in his own world, and going to the distance alone.

Yin Hanruo couldn’t help but ask in her heart: “Liu Yanbo, are you the real you now?”

If so, she was happy for him.

After finishing a cigarette Bai Bin dropped his cigarette butt, smiled, and beckoned: “Let’s go in, everyone is waiting for us at the dining table!”

Liu Yanbo nodded, agreeing. He reached for the pack of standard issued cigarettes and said with a smile, “there’s food to be eaten and cigarettes to be smoked.”

Bai Bin waved his hand and generously said, “you can keep it, there’s tons of it where it came from, I’m sick and tired of it.”

“Young Sir Bin!” Liu Yanbo resisted the urge to kick Bai Bin’s butt and stopped him from opening the glass door.

Bai Bin turned around and asked, “what?”

Liu Yanbo put away his smile and sincerely said: “No matter what I become, I will always be Qinghe Village’s Liu ~ Yan ~ Bo.”

“I know. No matter what happens, you will always be Qinghe Village’s only young Sir Bo and my little brother.”

In the private room, the table was full of food and wine, and everyone was seated.

“It seems after the storm came a calm, it’s worth a drink.”

Shangguan Qingmeng confidently picked up a glass of wine.

“Ah~”

After she downed the drink, Liu Yanbo ridiculed: “Brothers, it seems that you don’t drink much! Five people can’t win against a woman.”

“Shangguan sister is just too good at drinking,” a tall man sitting on the right-hand side of Bai Bin scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

“Why, little brother? Do you think you’ll be any different? Can you win against me?” Shangguan Qingmeng stood up and pointed her finger at Liu Yanbo.

This was a blatant provocation!

If he were to admit defeat, Liu Yanbo would definitely lose face.

To that provocation, men couldn’t say no. Especially Liu Yanbo, being a dignified old driver: “I’m quite a good drinker too.”

Shangguan Qingmeng smiled, and directly called the waiter and ordered two bottles of Burning Knife wine.

“One bottle per person, let’s see who finishes it first.”

Shangguan Qingmeng unscrewed both bottles and pushed one to Liu Yanbo. Shangguan Qingmeng’s move surprised everyone.

The Burning Knife was popular for its strong flavor, burning like fire. Some people got drunk just from smelling it. Drinking an entire bottle by yourself, even slowly, was already insane enough. Drinking it fast… did she want to burn a hole in her throat? These were the thoughts circling in the room.

“Are you crazy?” Yin Hanruo hurriedly objected. She knew that Shangguan Qingmeng could handle alcohol, but this was too reckless.

“Little sister, don’t butt in,” Shangguan Qingmeng Jiao said with a smile, “it was your man who provoked me first.”

Yin Hanruo angrily turned her head to look at Liu Yanbo, threatening him with her eyes.

Liu Yanbo shook his head quickly and spread his hands to show that this wasn’t the result he wanted.

“Little brother, will you drink or not? My girl Hanruo doesn’t like men who go back on their word.”

Shangguan Qingmeng licked her lips, looking impatient.

Damn it. She doesn’t like me in the first place!

However, it was too late to go back now. Liu Yanbo took the wine, “of course I’ll drink, whoever doesn’t drink is the turtle king~” he joked and directly ignored Yin Hanruo’s hot glare. Then he said, “but for the sake of fairness, you drink half and I drink a bottle.”

“Haha!” Shangguan Qingmeng laughed like a silver bell, and said: “Little brother, I like you more and more! But if you lose, you have to pay a price.”

“What price? “Liu Yanbo feebly asked.

A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she steadily said: “Sell us the formula for your foot injury medicine.”

Ever since she and Yin Hanruo confirmed that the pharmaceutical industry was the next development direction, Shangguan Qingmeng had been very attentive. She wanted to put it on the agenda, even more so, when she learned that the formula was from Liu Yanbo.

Shangguan Qingmeng had asked Yin Hanruo several times, but Yin Hanruo couldn’t find a good opportunity because of their awkward relationship since they signed the marriage contract.

Today seemed to be a good opportunity, Liu Yanbo looked like he was in a good mood. But that wasn’t the main reason why Shangguan Qingmeng mentioned it, it was because of Bai Bin.

Shangguan Qingmeng knew about Liu Yanbo and Yin Hanruo’s contract marriage, but Bai Bin didn’t.

From what she observed today, Bai Bin only learned that Liu Yanbo and Yin Hanruo were married outside the police station. She was certain that he valued ​​this marriage very much, and it seemed that Liu Yanbo valued ​​him very much.

As long as Bai Bin doesn’t know the truth of this marriage, today it didn’t matter whether Shangguan Qingmeng wins or loses. She had great confidence to believe that Liu Yanbo wouldn’t refuse to sell the formula while Bai Bin was present.

After all, it was his wife’s company. Instead of selling it, he could even give it away for nothing.

Liu Yanbo smiled while he looked at Yin Hanruo indifferently, then at Bai Bin, and nodded. With admiration, he asked Shangguan Qingmeng: “Then what if you lose?”

Shangguan Qingmeng could see that Liu Yanbo had realized her careful thoughts, but he still agreed. She couldn’t help but feel content, smiling charmingly: “Brother, if I lose, I will sleep with you. What do you think?”

Poof ~

Liu Yanbo almost ran away.

Shangguan Qingmeng was indeed a beautiful and attractive woman, born with a lot of charm, but with a bold and free personality. Such a woman was very popular with men.

But to say this kind of thing in front of so many people, what do you expect Liu Yanbo to do? How can he react?

Yin Hanruo frowned. Causing trouble so blatantly, Shangguan Qingmeng, what do you think you’re doing?

Yin Hanruo was about to speak when her phone rang.
