Chapter 696 I. I was joking (4000 words)
Ye Ge was about to fall asleep, but he did not set his cell phone ringtone to silent.

Not only did he not set his cell phone's ringtone to silent, but because he went out this morning, Ye Ge was worried that he would miss any messages, so he set the ringtone to the maximum.

When the cell phone rang, Ye Ge was startled.

Ye Ge took out his cell phone and took a look, only to find that it was Yan Cici who sent him a message.

"I was about to fall asleep, but now I'm awake." Ye Ge replied.

"I'm sorry... I didn't expect you to fall asleep so quickly." Yan Cici said.

"It's okay, what's wrong?" Ye Ge asked.

Yan Cici typed a reply: "Actually, there's nothing wrong. I just couldn't sleep. It's okay, it's okay. You go to sleep first. I'm really sorry."

"It's not a big problem. How about we have some midnight snack?" Ye Ge replied, "I happen to be a little hungry too."

Yan Cici thought for a moment and replied, "I'm fine with either. I just don't want to disturb your rest."

Yan Cici originally thought that Ye Ge might not fall asleep so quickly because of the jet lag.

Besides, he had only been tossing and turning in bed for 15 minutes, so logically, he shouldn't have fallen asleep that quickly.

Yan Cici also wanted to ask you, Brother Ye, if you want to have some midnight snack?
Unexpectedly, Ye Ge was almost asleep, which made Yan Cici feel quite embarrassed.

"It's okay. There's no need to bother me. That's it. See you in the living room."

Ye Ge got out of bed and walked to the living room.

Not long after Ye Ge arrived in the living room, Yan Cici also came out wearing a suspender nightgown.

Brother Ye turned on the TV and watched some TV programs from the United States.

For now, these TV programs in the United States are actually quite normal and not so politically correct.

But that may not be the case in a few years.

As for midnight snack, it was naturally impossible for him and Yan Cici to go out late at night.

The public security in the United States cannot compare to that in China.

As the saying goes, in free America, shootings happen every day.

Not to mention that Yan Cici is so beautiful.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this hotel is located in the city center. If you go out at night, you may not know what will happen.

Fortunately, this five-star hotel provides midnight snack service.

There is also a midnight snack menu on the table in the living room of the room.

Ye Ge made a phone call, ordered some midnight snacks, and a bottle of wine.

Drinking wine at night can help you fall asleep.

A little over half an hour later, a waitress pushed a food cart, rang the doorbell, and brought in all the midnight snacks that Ye Ge had ordered.

Normally speaking, compared to the nightlife in China, the midnight snacks in the United States are definitely not that rich.

However, because the hotel Ye Ge booked was indeed top-notch, the service was indeed good.

With the help of my abundant financial resources, these midnight snacks actually taste pretty good, especially the steak, which is fried really well.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Yan Cici's little face was faintly flushed, and under the light of the night, she was wearing a suspender nightgown, which made her look even more attractive.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that one day I would live in a hotel with you."

Perhaps because her belly was exposed after two glasses of wine, under the influence of alcohol, Yan Cici did not seem so restrained and she talked a lot more.

"What's unexpected about this? You're my secretary, isn't it normal for you to live with me sometimes?"

Ye Ge smiled.

Yan Cici's eyes also curved slightly: "That's indeed the case. No wonder most company employees think something will definitely happen if the boss and the secretary are of the opposite sex."

As Yan Cici was talking, she leaned forward slightly, propped up her chin with both hands, and looked at Ye Ge with a half-smile: "What do you think? My dear boss, don't you want something to happen with a little secretary like me?"

"I really want it so badly, but I'm afraid my secretary won't agree." Ye Ge sighed and said in a half-joking tone.

"Who said I don't want to?" Yan Cici's eyes curved, "I'm just afraid that our dear boss doesn't have the courage."

"Then let's see if I have the courage."

Ye Ge and Yan Cici were originally sitting on the sofa, and the distance between them was quite close.

At this time, under the influence of alcohol, Yan Cici teased Ye Ge again, and Ye Ge naturally would not agree to her.

In fact, Ye Ge also knew why Yan Cici teased him.

It’s not that Yan Cici had not teased me before, but I was still very innocent at that time, so I always failed miserably every time she teased me, and Yan Cici also enjoyed playing with me very much.

The two of them were already living together tonight, and their relationship was already somewhat ambiguous. After drinking some wine, Yan Cici was also a little drunk.

So at this time, when Yan Cici teased Ye Ge, she actually subconsciously thought that Ye Ge would still run away innocently like before.

In fact, after going through two lives, this is still the third life, and Ye Ge is no longer the innocent self he used to be.

But Ye Ge did not give up immediately and kept biting.

Ye Ge moved a little closer to Yan Cici.

And when Ye Ge sat next to Yan Cici, Yan Cici's heart beat violently.

Yan Cici already felt something was wrong, as if Ye Ge had become a little different from before.

The next moment, Ye Ge reached out and held Yan Cici's fair and tender shoulders, and asked her to turn around to face him. Yan Cici's heartbeat continued to accelerate.

Yan Cici's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she watched Ye Ge slowly approach her mouth.

"No way, no way, is Ye Ge really going to kiss me? In the past, didn't Ye Ge always walk away with a red face?"

Yan Cici seemed to still have her previous impression of Ye Ge.

And as Ye Ge got closer and closer, Yan Cici could even smell Ye Ge's breath, a bold idea came to Yan Cici's mind.

Otherwise, I might as well just kiss him like this.

Anyway, I like him, and I only want to give my first kiss to him and not to anyone else.

So, Yan Cici slowly closed her eyes.

But just when Ye Ge was about to kiss Yan Cici, Yan Cici suddenly pushed Ye Ge away.

Yan Cici was a little tipsy just now, but now he is sober all of a sudden. He is extremely clear-headed, and the redness on his cheeks has spread to his ears.

"I...I was just kidding." Yan Cici quickly stood up and looked at Ye Ge with shaking eyes.

Just now, Ye Ge almost kissed her. At this time, Yan Cici realized that Ye Ge actually wanted to kiss her.

"I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep first. You...you should also go to bed early."

Yan Cici quickly ran into her room and closed the door.

"This girl, does she really think I'm the same as before?"

Ye Ge smiled, made a phone call and asked the waiter to come up and clean up.

In your own room.

Yan Cici fell on the bed, her long legs hitting the bed constantly, and her cheeks were extremely red.

"How can he really kiss me..."

Yan Cici gently pressed her lips with her fingers. At this moment, Yan Cici could even feel the breath that Ye Ge had just exhaled lingering in her mouth.

"If...if I hadn't stood up just now, would Ye Ge have given me my first kiss..."

Yan Cici felt both happy and shy.

I'm glad that Ye Ge is not completely uninterested in me. I do have some opportunities, but Yan Cici is not ready for that yet.

In Yan Cici's opinion, no matter what, no matter what, it can only be like that when they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

I have already confessed to Ye Ge, but Ye Ge did not agree at that time. Does this mean that if I confess again, Ye Ge will agree?

As she thought about it, Yan Cici's shy mood gradually calmed down.

Yan Cici couldn't help but sigh.

Yan Cici felt that she was overthinking it.

She felt that even if she confessed her feelings again, Ye Ge would not be her boyfriend.

A big part of the reason why what happened just now was because the two people were under the influence of alcohol and were impulsive.

Secondly, because they were not in a confirmed boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, even if something happened at that time, Ye Ge did not have to be responsible for himself.

After tonight's impulse has subsided, Ye Ge and I will regain our composure again.

As she thought about it, Yan Cici felt that she had missed a very good opportunity to get closer to Ye Ge. However, if she and Ye Ge really kissed tonight, it would probably not be just a simple kiss.

Lying on the bed, Yan Cici felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier due to fatigue after the excitement and the influence of alcohol.

With a complicated and tangled mood, Yan Cici slowly closed her eyes.

Yan Cici fell asleep, but after Ye Ge returned to the room, he found that he had difficulty falling asleep.

It is very easy for a man and a woman to get angry when they are alone in the same room, especially when they are young and energetic.

Not to mention that Yan Cici's clothes are more likely to make other people angry.

As a result, something like that happened during the midnight snack, and Ye Ge really felt a little sleepless.

After drinking several bottles of water, going to the toilet several times, and browsing Bilibili for a while, Ye Ge finally felt a little tired and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, the bell rang and Ye Ge woke up in a daze. Then he walked out of the living room. Just then, Yan Cici also walked out of the room.

When the two people looked at each other, Yan Cici remembered what happened last night. Her cheeks flushed again. She felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to talk to Ye Ge.

"Good morning, how did you sleep last night?"

In comparison, Ye Ge seemed like nothing happened and greeted Yan Cici.

"I slept well." Yan Cici nodded.

Because of Ye Ge's calm tone, Yan Cici acted as if nothing had happened, so she followed Ye Ge's words and treated it as if she had just had a simple midnight snack yesterday.

"Get ready. We'll go downstairs to have breakfast together, and then we'll set off to meet those foreigners."

After collecting them, Ye Ge walked into the bathroom.

Looking at Ye Ge's back as he walked into the bathroom, Yan Cici felt a little unhappy in her heart.

Even so, Ye Ge pretended that the incident had never happened, and the relationship between the two of them returned to normal on the surface.

But no matter what, we almost kissed last night, so we should at least make some small statement.

He also said that Ye Ge was actually drunk last night. Does Ye Ge really not remember what happened last night?
Yan Cici couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling a little unwilling.

"Go wash up, why are you still standing there in a daze?" When Ye Ge finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, he saw Yan Cici still standing there in a daze.

"Nothing, wait for me."

As she spoke, Yan Cici also walked into the bathroom, but she looked a little angry.

Ye Ge naturally knew what Yan Cici was angry about, but Ye Ge did it on purpose.

The more Yan Cici cares about this matter, the more he cares about himself.

Later on, she even thought about proving herself.

By then, Yan Cici will probably fall into the trap.

On this day, in the morning, Ye Ge and Yan Cici met with some senior officials from the California State Administration to discuss investment in California.

Because Xuetang Group and Penguin had informed each other in advance, and Ye Ge was well-known in the United States. Everyone knew that there was an extraordinary person whose net worth was over 10 billion when he was in college.

Therefore, the other party was very happy and welcoming about Ye Ge's plan to invest and build a company, and would provide sufficient convenience.

So this meeting actually went very smoothly and there were basically no obstacles.

However, Brother Ye is not 100% confident. After all, these Americans are prone to say one thing in public and another in private. They even have a deep-rooted bandit mentality, so he has to be on guard.

In the afternoon, Ye Ge met with the vice president of Oracle, and the two discussed some aspects of network data support.

There was no substantial progress in this discussion, and no contract was signed, but the two parties reached a consensus on the direction of cooperation.

In the evening, Ye Ge took Yan Cici to meet a senior executive of Microsoft.

When Ye Ge and Yan Cici returned to the hotel, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

There is nothing to do on the third day, so I can take a short break. But on the fourth day, I have to meet some famous people in the American business community.

And early the next morning, Ye Ge got up at 2 o'clock and found that Yan Cici was still in the room.

Ye Ge thought Yan Cici was just sleeping in, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But at 12 o'clock, Yan Cici still hadn't gotten up.
