Chapter 1748 retreat
The Nordic royal convoy was galloping on the highway late at night.
The Concorde passenger plane is ready to take off and can take off immediately as soon as Ye Chen arrives at the airport.
At this time, it was one o'clock in the morning of Nordic time and seven o'clock in the morning of Yanjing time.
If it goes well, Ye Chen will arrive in Yanjing at noon in Yanjing time. After landing, he will go to Yeling Mountain as soon as possible to deal with the members of the Ye family who escaped in the last battle.
In the car, Helena was sitting next to Ye Chen.
At this time, Helena was confused in her heart. She sometimes looked at Ye Chen, sometimes looked at the darkness of the northern European outside the window, sometimes pursed her red lips, and sometimes she couldn't help but bit her lower lip with her white teeth.
After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke softly: "Mr. Ye, Nordics are actually too small compared to China, and their population is not even one-third of that of Yanjing..."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Small is a little smaller, but it will soon become your kingdom. You are still very young now and will have at least fifty years of reign in the future. In fifty years, there are too many things you can do, and it is still worth looking forward to."
Helena smiled bitterly and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, I'm going to hide it from you. Actually... I don't really have any interest in the throne..."
As she said that, she looked at Ye Chen, her eyes were red and said, "Mr. Ye, my greatest hope is not to inherit the throne, but to give my mother a stable life. If you exiled Olivia overseas, your mother's safety is already guaranteed. Whether you can be a queen is no longer important to me..."
Ye Chen asked her in a little surprised: "I will inherit the throne in three days. Why did I suddenly give up at this time?"
Helena pursed her lips and paused awkwardly for a while before she said, "Mr. Ye, I think I may not be able to handle the role of the Queen. To be the Queen, there are too many people who have to sacrifice and compromise, and... and I am not the kind of person like Olivia who can make up for it..."
Ye Chen thought Helena was just a simple and nervous, so he comforted him: "It is naturally not that easy to be a queen, but it is not as difficult as you imagined. After all, for Nordics, your symbolic significance is much greater than actual rule, and there are not so many decisions that you need to do. Even if you do not do so well, it will not affect the actual development of Nordics. So you only need to maintain the people's love for you, and this queen will pass the exam."
Helena whispered: "Actually... I actually think... since grandma is so obedient to you, you can let her be the queen for a few years first. In this way, I can have more time to prepare..."
Ye Chen looked at her and said, "Helena, if you want to truly own your life, now is the opportunity you must seize. You can't adapt for the moment, but it's just a transition. If you can't even deal with this transition, then how should you deal with it when you encounter an enemy like Olivia in the future?"
Helena was speechless for a moment.
The reason why she gave up at this time was because the convoy was getting closer and closer to the airport, and the faster and closer she and Ye Chen were separated.
The more this happens, the more she can be sure that she doesn't want to say goodbye to Ye Chen.
She didn't want the intersection between life and Ye Chen to end here.
It's like two intersecting straight lines, but there's an intersection at that only point of intersection, and then they go their separate ways and go further and further.
She wanted to change the direction of the straight line of her destiny at the intersection when she met Ye Chen. It would be best to start from this point and wrap Ye Chen's straight line tightly together so that Ye Chen will have his own companion in his future life.
However, these words kept blocking her throat and were about to burst out several times, but they were forced back by her.
It’s not that she dared not confess to Ye Chen, but that she was afraid of being rejected by Ye Chen.
If this suspense is preserved, at least there is a glimmer of hope to look forward to in the future.
Ye Chen didn't know the real reason why she retreated in the last days.
He looked at Helena and said with emotion: "Actually, I was the same as you now, and I was at the lowest point in my life. At that time, the Ye family suddenly came to me and wanted to give me a group with a market value of 100 billion yuan, and at the same time I gave me 10 billion yuan in cash. At that time, I also retreated..."
Helena nodded softly and said softly: "I heard Ye Feng talk about it. Every time he mentioned this, he was very angry..."
"Yes..." Ye Chen smiled indifferently: "He must be very angry, otherwise he wouldn't be hostile to me."
Helena looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Mr. Ye, how did you convince yourself to accept these gifts from the Ye family?"
Ye Chen laughed at himself: "I was penniless at that time, and my life-saving benefactor was waiting for money to treat the disease. My wife was bullied in the family. Even if I had a little bit of a poor boy's ambition, reality would not allow me to refuse."
As he said that, Ye Chen sighed lightly and said with emotion: "I thought at that time that even if I don't do it for myself, even for my life-saving benefactor and wife, I would still accept the gift from the Ye family. So, I took over the group and paid the medical expenses for the life-saving benefactor with the 10 billion cash from the Ye family, and then I got to this day step by step. And I can have today thanks to the gift from the Ye family."
Helena said seriously: "Mr. Ye, the Ye family only gave you a group and 10 billion cash, but your current strength is far from comparable to this asset, so I think you can succeed regardless of whether you have or not the Ye family's gift!"
"It's not necessarily true." Ye Chen shook his head and said seriously: "Helena, fate is sometimes very magical and subtle. Although I can't see what kind of way fate exists, I think there are thousands of connections between the fate of everyone in this world, as the saying goes, one moves the whole body..."
As he said that, Ye Chen said again: "Have you ever thought about whether your usual trivial decision may subtly change yourself or other people's lives?"
Helena said blankly: "Mr. Ye, I don't really understand fate and fate..."
Ye Chen said calmly: "If you see a person crossing the road and being killed by a taxi, you can try to push the person who was hit and the driver who caused the accident forward for ten seconds, ten minutes, ten hours, or ten days."
Helena asked puzzledly: "Mr. Ye, what does it mean to push the trajectory of life forward?"
Ye Chen said calmly: "It's what they were doing before the incident."
After a pause, Ye Chen said again: "It is possible that ten seconds before the accident, you happened to pass by the roadside. The driver was attracted by your beauty, so he was distracted, which caused the car accident."
"It is also possible that ten minutes ago, you took a taxi with another person, and the driver chose to park in front of you because he saw that you were more beautiful. After you got in the car, he asked him to drive the car near the scene of the incident, so he had that car accident."
"It may be ten hours ago that you uploaded a video of yours on the short video platform. The pedestrian friend saw it and forwarded it to him. After watching it, he thought you were very beautiful, so he kept thinking about you in his mind. Even when crossing the road, he was still thinking about your short video, which caused him to be distracted and was hit and killed by a car."
Speaking of this, Ye Chen shrugged and said, "This is the fate I mentioned, but the actual situation may be far more complicated than what I said. For example, if I had confiscated the money from the Ye family, I would not have been able to afford a BMW to my wife. If I hadn't bought that car, my father-in-law would not have occupied that car. If he hadn't occupied that car, he would not have asked me to be a driver for him and asked me to drive him to see an expensive antique vase...
Speaking of this, Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, naturally omitting the incident of accidentally getting the "Nine Profound Heavenly Sutra" in Jiqingtang, and continued: "If it weren't for these, you and I would never have any intersection in this life, and it would be even more impossible to sit in the same car at this moment."
In his opinion, fate is so magical.
Everything affects each other in the dark, and no one knows what impact a decision will have on their future.
Helena naturally couldn't understand the relationship behind Ye Chen's words.
She said with a confused look on her face: "Mr. Ye, I don't understand why you have to associate your destiny with a BMW car or even an antique vase..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "You just need to know that if there was no BMW and if there was no antique vase, we would never know each other in our life."
Helena was confused, but looked at Ye Chen with some shame, and plucked up the courage to ask him: "Mr. Ye, each of your three examples just now seems to have caused that car accident because of my appearance... Do you really think I am very beautiful?"
Ye Chen didn't think much and said casually: "It's very beautiful. Whether from the aesthetics of Westerners or from the aesthetics of Easterners, you should be considered very beautiful."
