Chapter 451: You like people with the surname Ye?

In the end, the staff at the registration desk took Ye Tiandong to the door of Cui Hua's room on the second floor.

"This is the one."

Ye Tiandong grasped the other person's hand, his attitude humble, "Thank you, thank you so much."

The man, who looked like a big boss, was so polite to him, which pleased the staff. He smoked a cigarette and said to him, "You're not allowed to do anything bad, or we'll call the police."

Ye Tiandong reassured her repeatedly, "Don't worry, she and I are really family. I just glanced at her, and I'm going to rest now."

Ye Tiandong stepped forward and knocked on the door.

I knocked for a long time but there was no response.

Fortunately, the staff hadn't left yet. He hurriedly asked for help again, "Could you please use the spare key to open the door? She's drunk too much and probably won't wake up. I'm worried she might be in danger."

"What danger could there be in sleeping inside?"

The staff member grumbled discontentedly, "Our Friendship Hotel is a legitimate hotel, one of the most upscale in the southern part of the city. It's different from those shady hotels outside. We require identification documents for registration."

"No, I mean she drank too much and fell asleep. I'm afraid she'll choke on her own vomit."

The staff immediately took it seriously upon hearing this, and sure enough, this situation had actually happened before.

He decisively took the spare key and opened the door.

As soon as he turned the key, Ye Tiandong hurriedly blocked the doorway, stopping the staff member. "You don't need to go in. You can continue with your work."

What if that woman's clothes are disheveled...?

"Okay, you can come find me if you need anything."

As soon as the person left, Ye Tiandong pushed open the door and entered.

Upon entering, he saw a woman lying sprawled on the bed. His lips twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes. This... was simply too embarrassing to look at.

He walked to the bedside, looking down at the woman on the bed with a dark expression, and growled through gritted teeth, "Cui Hua, you've really made something of yourself, drinking so much."

The woman on the bed heard the sound and groggily opened her eyes.

Upon seeing the tall man standing in front of the bed, she subconsciously rubbed her eyes.

She squinted and muttered to herself, "Why do you look so much like someone surnamed Ye?"

Ye Tiandong, “????”

Someone surnamed Ye?

Is that what she usually calls him?

His face grew even darker, and he remained silent, continuing to gaze down at her.

His reaction only made Cui Hua's complaints louder, "Oh, even their grumpy expressions are exactly the same."

She yawned and scoffed, "I never thought I'd dream about someone surnamed Ye."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

"You really hate Ye Tiandong?" He leaned closer and whispered in her ear, biting his back teeth.

Cui Hua seemed genuinely drunk; her eyes were barely open, but her mind wasn't fully asleep. She heard someone speaking to her and instinctively responded.

"I hate it, I really hate it."

He persisted, unwilling to give up, "Why? Isn't he your boss? Doesn't he treat you well? Doesn't he pay you a high salary?"

Has he mistreated her all these years?

Cui Hua mumbled in a daze,

"Just because he earns a high salary doesn't mean I can't dislike him. I earned my high salary through my own hard work."

Ye Tiandong: "Then what do you dislike about him?"

Cui Hua: "I hate him! He's blind to reason, shallow, and insensitive!"

Ye Tiandong, "......."

Although it sounds harsh, I have to admit it's a very accurate summary.

He couldn't refute it.

He straightened up, took a deep breath, and after trying to calm himself down, he leaned closer again, his voice hoarse and ambiguous, "Do you like him?"

So what if you like it?

Cui Hua scoffed, "That kind of shallow man only likes young, pretty, but uneducated girls."

"He doesn't deserve my deep love."

"Unworthy!" Cui Hua roared, turned over, and fell asleep.

Ye Tiandong stood alone by the bed, looking completely bewildered.

He looked at the woman who was tossing and turning in discomfort because she had been drinking, and felt a strange pang of unease in his heart.

She's been with him for five or six years now, hasn't she?

Back when he took over the Bincheng Hotel, she was just a cashier there.

Later, after he took over the restaurant, she started as a cashier, but she was very capable and hardworking, doing all kinds of work and never slacking off.

However, she is very capable at work, has a warm attitude towards customers, and always takes the lead in everything.

Gradually, they became his right-hand men.

He gazed at her face and suddenly realized that even a woman in her early thirties could show the marks of time.

They've long lost the naivety of their youth.

Ye Tiandong sat down in the chair and lit another cigarette.

He sat there, his gaze fixed on the woman's face.

Memories of their interactions over the years involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

When he and Li Li first got together, Cui Hua seemed a little off.

She even tried to persuade him to get to know Li Li better before pursuing a deeper relationship with her.

Li Li is not that simple.

He coldly rebuked her, telling her to mind her own business and not overstep her boundaries as an employee.

During that time, she barely spoke to him and even took a few days off to go home.

After that, she never interfered in his private life again.

Whether it was his marriage to Li Li or their subsequent ugly divorce, Cui Hua never mentioned Li Li to him.

Although he had heard Ye Qingbai and Bai Zhi say that Cui Hua had been actively helping to resolve Li Li's issue and find evidence.

But in his presence, she only did what was required of her job, and even when he brought up personal matters, her attitude was very negative.

He had an indifferent expression.

This made him constantly complain that she was a cold woman.

At this moment, Ye Tiandong looked at the woman who was gradually falling asleep, and recalled the ups and downs they had gone through over the years, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

If—and he meant if—Cui Hua truly refused to accept anyone else and remained single because she had feelings for him, then he would truly be a sinner.

She's already thirty.

A woman spent the best years of her youth struggling alongside him, enduring so many years, but also missed the best age for marriage.

He naively listened to her explanation, genuinely believing that she had been hurt by a man when she was young and naive, so she had no interest in relationships or marriage and only wanted to make money to live a wealthy life.

Looking back now, her acting was so bad that he could have seen through her pretense with just a little effort.

But he, unfortunately, didn't take it to heart...

He even earnestly advised her that there are good men in the world, and that she shouldn't be so afraid of being bitten by a snake once and then afraid of a well rope for ten years.

He even intentionally or unintentionally introduced her to potential partners.

Little did she know that the man who hurt her the most was herself.

What merits does he possess to deserve such infatuation from her?

How could he be so slow-witted? He hadn't noticed her unusual feelings for him all these years.

Was she hiding it too well, or was he too carefree?

To put it bluntly, it's just that I didn't pay attention...

Ye Tiandong got up, opened the window, and stood there, smoking one cigarette after another.
