Chapter: 6246

"No problem, Master Ye!" Hong Wu hurriedly agreed.

Ye Chen glanced at his watch and saw it was already around 3:30 pm. He decided to go visit the Xu Manor halfway up the hill to see if Ito Naoki had made any progress in controlling the spiritual energy. Just as he was about to call Hong Wu and Chen Zeqi, his phone suddenly rang with a call from Ha Qi's father, Ha Yuanjiang.

Ye Chen immediately answered the call, politely greeting him by saying "Ha Uncle, hello."

Ha Yuanjiang laughed on the other end of the line and asked, "Ye Chen, did your father-in-law tell you he had returned to Jinling?"

"Yes," Ye Chen replied with a smile. "I've just come back. What do you want to talk about?"

Ha Yuanjiang chuckled and opened up, looking a bit embarrassed. "I actually have some things I'd like to discuss in person, but I'm not sure if you're free. Would you be available at any time?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment before responding, "Yes, I can make time. What's your availability look like? Give me an address and I'll come find you."

Ye Chen had always been respectful towards Ha Yuanjiang, not only because of his good character and genuine talent, but also because they were former classmates and friends in the true sense.

"Ah, I've just gotten out of my master's program, and today is a weekend, so there are no classes. Won't you give me an address, and I'll come find you?" Ha Yuanjiang said hurriedly.

Ye Chen thought for a moment before responding, "It's around 3:30 pm now, and Ha Uncle must have finished lunch already. It won't be suitable to chat about things here again, considering your habit of drinking coffee in the afternoon after living in America for so long."

Ha Yuanjiang laughed and said, "That sounds great! I was just thinking about giving you an address. After buying a cup of coffee, I'll go find you. Since that's the case, let's meet at the coffee shop instead. I'm nearby, and you can get what you like. I've already reserved a seat for us."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "How about one cup of iced Americano? You go first, and I'll be there now."

"Alright then, see you later!"

Ha Yuanjiang suddenly wanted to meet with Ye Chen, but Ye Chen didn't know what it was all about. However, since the other party wanted to talk with him in person, he shouldn't ask too many questions over the phone.

Luckily, it sounded like there wasn't anything difficult, which also made him feel more at ease.

Subsequently, he gave a call to Hong Wu and Chen Zekai, and then headed off to meet Ha Yuanjiang at that coffee shop.

About 20 minutes later, Ye Chen arrived at the agreed-upon coffee shop. Ha Yuanjiang had already found a seat by the window.

As soon as Ye Chen walked in, he hastily stood up, straightened his suit, and awkwardly waved his hand towards Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, over here."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and came to stand before him, Ha Yuanjiang then hurriedly invited him to sit down and pushed the coffee he had ordered over in front of Ye Chen.

As Ye Chen lifted the cup to his lips, taking a sip while curious, he asked, "Ha Uncle, what's so urgent that you called me here? Is there something important you want to tell me?"

"This... um..." Ha Yuanjiang looked uneasy for a moment before saying, "Actually, I should have told you about this earlier, but you were in the US at the time and I didn't know when you'd be back, so I just put it off temporarily..."

Ha Yuanjiang paused for a few seconds, then gathered his courage and said, "Well, Ye Chen, Ha Auntie and I are planning to get married."

Ye Chen was taken aback at first but then became very happy and exclaimed, "Congratulations, Ha Uncle! Ha Auntie is an excellent partner among peers. You've really struck gold!"

After that, he asked with some curiosity, "When did you and Ha Auntie decide to get married?"

Ha Yuanjiang smiled awkwardly and explained, "Well, we weren't just part of the organization in the city that went to South Korea for cultural exchanges. I proposed to her there, and she accepted me. After being together for a while, we both felt that we were suitable for each other, and with our age not being too old yet, we didn't want to waste time on this lifelong matter..." JrNovels.com
