Chapter: 3624

At this time, it was midnight in northern Europe and early morning in Yanjing.

If things went smoothly, Ye Chen would arrive in Yanjing at noon according to Yanjing time, and after landing, he would head straight to Yeling Mountain to deal with those who had escaped during the chaos.

On the car, Helena sat beside Ye Chen.

At this moment, Helena's mind was filled with complicated thoughts. She occasionally glanced at Ye Chen, occasionally looked out the window at the night scenery in northern Europe, and occasionally lightly bit her lip or nervously gnawed on it with her white teeth.

Hesitating for a while, she finally whispered: "Mr. Ye, actually, northern Europe is really too small compared to Huaxia. The population is even less than one-third of that of Yanjing city..."

Ye Chen smiled: "It's indeed smaller, but it will soon become your kingdom. You're still very young now, and in the future, you'll have at least 50 years or more of reign time. Fifty years are too many to do things, so it's definitely worth looking forward to."

Helena forced a bitter smile and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, don't hide it from me, but actually... actually I have no interest in the throne..."

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Chen with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Ye, actually my greatest hope is not to inherit the throne, but to give my mom a stable life. You've already exiled Olivia abroad, so my mom's safety has been ensured. Whether I can be queen or not is no longer important to me..."

Ye Chen slightly furrowed his brow and asked her: "In three days, you'll inherit the throne. Why are you suddenly backing down now?"

Helena bit her lip, embarrassed, and paused for half a minute before saying stubbornly: "Mr. Ye, I think I might not be qualified to be queen. Being queen requires sacrifices and compromises, which are just too many. And... and I'm not like Olivia who can make tough decisions..."

Ye Chen thought Helena was simply nervous and comforted her: "Being queen is naturally not easy, but it's also not as difficult as you imagine. After all, you symbolize great significance to northern Europe, and there aren't that many decisions for you to make. Even if you don't do well, it won't affect the actual development of northern Europe. So just keep the people's love, and being queen is already good enough."

Helena whispered: "Actually... actually I think... grandma is already treating you like a queen now, so why not let her be queen for a few more years? That way, I can have some extra preparation time..."

Ye Chen looked at her and said: "Helena, if you want to truly own your life, the opportunity is right in front of you. You can't just wait any longer. If you can't even adapt to this temporary transition, how will you respond when you encounter an enemy like Olivia again?"

Helena was speechless for a moment.

She didn't want to part ways with Ye Chen at that moment because the car was getting closer and closer to the airport, and their separation was also getting closer.

She didn't want her life to be connected with Ye Chen at this point.

It's like two intersecting straight lines, only having a brief intersection at that one point before moving further and further apart.

She wanted to change the direction of her own fate's line at that intersection with Ye Chen, and preferably start by wrapping Ye Chen's line tightly around hers so that Ye Chen could have her accompanying him in his future life.

However, this idea was stuck in her throat, repeated several times without being uttered, but she forced it back down again.

It wasn't that she was afraid to confess to Ye Chen; it was just that she was afraid of being rejected by him.

If I keep harboring this hope, there would at least be a glimmer of expectation for the future.

Ye Chen was unaware of her genuine reason for retreating at the last minute.

He looked at Helena and said: "Actually, one year ago, I was in the same situation as you now - stuck at the bottom of life. At that time, Ye Family suddenly approached me to give me a company worth tens of billions and one hundred billion cash, just like what happened then I also retreated several times over..."

Helena nodded lightly and said softly: "I've heard Leaf say that he gets very angry every time he talks about this incident..."

"Ah... yes..." Ye Chen smiled calmly: "He's definitely very angry; otherwise, he wouldn't be so hostile towards me." JrNovels.com
