Chapter 498 Why Would I Be Embarrassed?

At a fancy Starbucks cafe.

Ye Qian was staring at the menu card while looking at the prices of the cups of different coffees.

As for the people who were in the cafe, they were thinking of Ye Qian to be someone new in the city and was this flabbergasted to read the prices of the beverages.

Ye Qian took another glance at the whole place and nodded while taking a glance at Su Ren who was looking at him with patience.

"Are you done with your selection?"

He asked seeing that Ye Qian had finally got his head out of the menu.

At first, if not for him knowing Ye Qian, even Su Ren would also have thought of Ye Qian as a country pumpkin.

But then again with Ye Qian had told him that he was mostly isolated from the outside world and had only come back just a few days ago, Su Ren thought that it was very much likely that Ye Qian was also getting a hard time adjusting to the things that were happening right now.

Indeed he was right in one way or the other.

Back in the days when they were in the University, going out and having lunch was pretty normal, but the money they would need was mostly less compared to just a simple coffee on the menu card.

And knowing that Ye Qian had read the price after so long, Su Ren knew that Ye Qian was bound to be a bit shocked by the sky-high price of the commodities.

But Ye Qian was not as much astonished as Su Ren had thought that Ye Qian would take a long time to get adjusted to it.

He had known Ye Qian for a long time and knew that he was pretty simple-minded and didn't think much about things other than his family.

As for Ye Qian, since he had gone with Yuan Meng, Ning Wei and the two little girls at the mall a few days ago, he was quite accustomed to the high prices of the things, it was just that he didn't quite understand why the prices for just a cup of coffee was so high that it would be able to make a simple man full for the day.

"Hmm."

Hearing Su Ren's question, Ye Qian nodded and thought that he might have embarrassed Su Ren with his behaviour just now and smiled wryly.

"Just black coffee without sugar."

Ye Qian said as Su Ren called the water and gave his order along with a few more things which Ye Qian knew was a kind of dessert.

"Are you also looking down on me just because of my behaviour?"

Once the waiter walked away with the order, Ye Qian asked with a feeble smile, he knew that sometimes his actions were the most important reason for people to be embarrassed about, but there was nothing he was able to do to it.

In fact, no matter how much he tried to change even in the harsh cultivation world, a part of him always felt that if he changed so much then he would not remain the same Ye Qian he was before.

It was like there was an inner voice that said to him to not change no matter what.

"Huh, are you dumb, why would I be embarrassed about your actions?"

Su Ren chuckled lightly and shook his head while continuing.

"Old Ye, do you really think so low of me now that you even think that I would be embarrassed due to this?"

There was a forced smile on his lips as he seemed to have understood that Ye Qian was feeling defected due to the gazes of the people around them.

"No that is not what I mean."

Ye Qian shook his head and looked down.

He understood that his words might have caused a vedge between the two of them and he was already feeling sorry for what he had just said.

"Old Ye, we are friends, after all, we have done so many embarrassing things before, as for now, no matter how much people look down on us, we are still buddies."

"As for being embarrassed due to your actions, if we were then you would not have been like this."

Saying that he chuckled with a mischievous smile as he remembered that he and his mates had made Ye Qian drunk on the last day of their University and sent him with Yuan Meng.

Though Ye Qian didn't know what had happened that day, everyone else knew and this was their secret that none of them wanted to puke out or they would surely be scolded by Ye Qian.

Ye Qian sighed in relief and the two friends continued to talk.

Right now, it was Su Ren who asked and Ye Qian answered the questions.

There were many times that even Ye Qian was confused as to what he should say, but with his memory and the preparation he had done with Yuan Meng is he was ever asked such questions surely paid off.

And so Ye Qian continued to tell that he was under a special command from the government with special supervision and wasn't allowed to get to the family as it was to be kept secret and after the project was over he and others were sent and they were not forced to hide about being working for the military.

It was natural for people to be suspicious of Ye Qian's words if he was to tell that he was in a secret operation but was not telling about it now.

And so Yuan Meng had found this reason more appropriate.

Ye Qian then also asked about what Su Ren was doing these days.

Much to his amazement, Su Ren had joined the Long group with the division of production of adhesive.

Ye Qian had heard about the Long being one of the leading constructions companies from Yuan Meng and Mr Su from that day was also the lackey of the big boss of the Long but didn't know that they ever had their roots in the adhesive and chemical productions.

Su Ren had a job in the office and was mostly responsible for making checks on the given data and reporting any anomalies and testing a few qualities of the chemical.
