Bai Xue claid she wouldn’t talk to anyone, yet in a blink, she had spoken to two people. Ye Ling had just returned ho and was resting, not going anywhere. Zhao Guodong and the others had grown up, and when they visited Ye Ling, they only sat and chatted briefly before leaving, unlike in the past when they hung out together.
After Bai Xue returned from visiting her niece, her mood noticeably soured; the previous excitent was gone, and she no longer felt like glaring at anyone at ho. Ye Ling was long accustod to her mother’s fickle temperant and paid it little mind. But Bai Xue couldn’t stand Ye Ling doing nothing, so she went to the West Room upon hearing it was quiet.
"I heard you plan to get married after graduation, is it true?" Bai Xue asked directly.
Ye Ling didn’t even raise her eyelids, "Do you need sothing?"
"What do you an ’do you need sothing’? You can’t just decide to marry without asking ? Do you know Shen Bin is the Li Family’s son, and that’s why you’re with him? Let tell you, such thoughts are not right. The Li Family won’t accept you, and Shen Bin will feel uncomfortable. I think you should hold off on this. Your sister entered society earlier than you and doesn’t even have a partner. You haven’t even settled into your job after graduation and you’re rushing to get married. How do you think your sister feels?" Bai Xue assud a loving mother’s deanor, "Ye Ling, don’t think marrying a leader’s son guarantees a life of ease. Couples can divorce too. Can you promise you’ll be happy forever? If sothing happens, won’t you need your family to support you? Your sister, even though she’s only an assistant at the company, gets information faster than you."
"Thanks for your concern, but I’ll make my own decisions. You needn’t worry." Ye Ling continued reading her book, turning a page, "Didn’t Dad tell you not to get involved in my matters? And didn’t Shen Bin ask Wu ngyi not to reveal his identity? You found out and told Ye Qian, right? You went out today; did you tell Bai Hehua too? Once this spreads, it can’t be hidden anymore. Who knows if Liu Family will bla you."
Ye Ling knew as soon as Shen Bin disclosed his background that it couldn’t be kept a secret. So when her mother ntioned it, she wasn’t surprised; she had anticipated it.
"Don’t worry about this; I told them not to spread it," Bai Xue said, lacking confidence. "Just because your dad says not to intervene, should I comply? Don’t forget I’m your mom."
"My mom? You rember you’re my mom?" Ye Ling sneered, raising her head, "If you say you’re my mom, then tell what you’ve done. Every single thing brings question to what being a mom ans. Now that I’ve found a decent partner, you suddenly rember you’re my mom. You’re not trying to be a mom; you’re up to sothing, aren’t you? I’ll give you a heads-up: even if money fell from the sky, don’t expect to get anything from or use for so gain. If you try to profit a bit, I’ll make you give back tenfold."
"You insolent girl, don’t act tough with . You haven’t even married yet; who knows if the wedding will even happen? What are you boasting about?" Bai Xue left, her face oscillating between green and red due to embarrassnt.
Ye Ling sneered, lying back on the bed. Wasn’t it always about giving everything good to Ye Qian? Ye Qian was supposed to marry Liu Zhiyuan in a previous life; why would she want a divorced Shen Bin?
Between Liu Zhiyuan and Shen Bin, one is a minister’s son, the other a company leader’s son. The difference is clear, no wonder mother is disgruntled. As for Ye Qian, she always wanted to dominate ; learning this news might keep her up for days?
In the evening, Ye He Ping returned ho, bringing Shen Bin along. Shen Bin carried a large green bag and a bundle of luggage. Ye Ling recalled hearing Shen Bin was to be transferred, assuming he left early, yet during dinner, she found out he was going on a business trip the next day as part of training for assistants and communicators. Shen Bin would be staying overnight at the Ye Family’s ho. Bai Xue enthusiastically welcod him, even personally helping with setting up bedding in the West Room. Though Ye Ling disliked sharing a room with her mother, since Shen Bin was here, she said nothing and lay in the East Room, listening to her mother’s musings about Shen Bin’s gentle nature but didn’t respond. She noticed Shen Bin’s occasional glances toward her as she lay there.
Once Bai Xue fell asleep mid-muttering, Ye Ling turned over several tis but remained sleepless. She sat up, dressed, put on cotton clothes and pants, and pushed open the room door. Before making her way to the West end of the house, she heard a sound behind her and turned to see Shen Bin coming towards her under the moonlight, quickly reaching her.
"Are you avoiding ?" Shen Bin rembered how Ye Ling hadn’t looked at him all evening.
Shen Bin felt uneasy lying in the warm bed, unable to sleep. Hearing movent in the East Room, he followed it outside to see Ye Ling, directly saying, "I can’t sleep without knowing why."
Ye Ling thought she was sleepless too, but instinctively explained, "I’m not avoiding you."
It’s just a bit embarrassing.
Yes, sowhat.
Despite living another life, Ye Ling couldn’t help but feel shy when faced with soone who had confessed to her.
"Are you going to relieve yourself? I’ll accompany you." Shen Bin, hearing her response, paused before speaking.
Ye Ling curled her lip, "I’ll go alone to the West end of the house; you go back inside."
Almost directly stating n and won shouldn’t be so close.
Besides, did this man think I am his girlfriend already? It’s just going to the bathroom, not as if we’re a couple; he doesn’t need to accompany .
"Alright." Shen Bin realized he was too tense and had said sothing silly.
He nodded awkwardly, turned, and went back indoors. He was composed and wise in the company dealing with employees, yet before Ye Ling felt he needed to adjust his behavior, but each ti got clumsy, knowing himself how badly things went and pondering what impression he’d leave Ye Ling.
As he lay back on the bed, Shen Bin reflected on his actions earlier, tossing several tis, his heart growing more restless, until hearing the outer door creak open later, steps gradually fading, his prior frantic heart slowly calming.
Overco by the interruption by Shen Bin, Ye Ling, once lying down again, fell asleep quickly with just a mont’s shut-eye. The next morning, she would not have awakened if not for Ye Qian’s laughter outside. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to cast your recomndation votes and monthly votes on Qidian.
