Xiao Linye saw her too. The mont their eyes t, Ye Yuning clearly looked uneasy.
She didn’t want him to know that she had been in a fight! But she really couldn’t hold back just now; Xiao Shuo was just too infuriating.
As she was lost in thought, the man had already approached her. Unlike the usual warmth he radiated, a distinct chill could now be felt emanating from him.
Ye Yuning sheepishly lowered her head, like a child who had done sothing wrong.
And with her petite fra, she certainly did resemble a child.
"Can we, um, talk about this at ho?" Ye Yuning said in a low voice.
Her tone carried a clear plea.
She didn’t want to lose face in public. Whatever his dissatisfaction, it would be better to settle it behind closed doors at ho. And she was also worried Xiao Shuo might suddenly pop up!
Xiao Linye naturally picked up on her intent and raised an eyebrow. "Scared now, are you?"
Scared? Of course, she was! She didn’t want to lose face in public. Especially not wanting Xiao Shuo to see her looking so pathetic after being reprimanded.
Luckily, Xiao Linye didn’t make it difficult for her and led her out of the police station.
Once they were in the car, Ye Yuning didn’t dare to look at Xiao Linye. After pondering for a while, she still couldn’t figure out how to explain what had happened.
Xiao Linye, on the other hand, didn’t seem to have any intention of putting her in a tough spot.
Amidst Ye Yuning’s nervousness, she couldn’t tell if he was suppressing his anger or sothing else. Regardless, he asked very calmly, "Are you hurt?"
"N-no!" Ye Yuning replied, subconsciously shaking her head.
Then, her eyes imdiately reddened.
She had thought Xiao Linye would bla her. To her surprise, he hadn’t ntioned the fight at all, only asking if she was hurt.
Hearing the sniffle in her voice, Xiao Linye asked, "Can you now explain why you were fighting?"
He had truly underestimated this young woman! She was so docile in his presence, yet she actually got into a fight? When he received the call about her fighting, he was genuinely surprised; he simply couldn’t believe she’d been in one.
While they had been silent earlier, Ye Yuning’s mind had been racing, trying to figure out how to explain the situation.
After so thought, she finally decided to point the finger at... the Xiao Group!
Sniffling, she said aggrievedly, "It’s all because of the Xiao Group..."
"The Xiao Group?" Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow.
What did her fighting have to do with the Xiao Group? That’s right, he rembered now. The officer who had called said she was fighting with Xiao Shuo.
Xiao Linye promptly pulled the car over to the side of the road. Gripping the steering wheel with one hand, he looked at her, clearly waiting for a proper explanation.
Seeing him like this, Ye Yuning was also taken aback.
Although this man had always exuded a cool aura during the days they had spent together, he had consistently shown a gentle side when they interacted.
Now, with his apparent intent to reprimand soone, Ye Yuning couldn’t help but stutter, "Um, did I, did I cause you any trouble?"
Xiao Linye asked, "Do you think I’m worried about that?"
Ye Yuning hesitated. He probably wasn’t worried about that at all! Being able to buy a 200-square-ter apartnt in Upper City with full paynt within five years demonstrated his extraordinary capabilities. Even if he left the Xiao Group for another company, the offers he’d receive would only improve, never worsen. However, now wasn’t the ti to dwell on that.
Lowering her head, her small hands twisting together nervously, she said, "It’s about our boss’s ex-fiancé, Xiao Shuo, the Third Young Master of the Xiao Group."
"Oh? So?"
She got into a fight with her boss’s ex-fiancé? What kind of logic was that?
Clearly, Xiao Linye didn’t grasp the sequence of events.
Ye Yuning lowered her head further. "During the recent collaboration between our boss and the Xiao Group, that Third Young Master made trouble for her twice. But each ti, he was suppressed by that pervert, Seventh Master, who wanted to collaborate with our boss!"
Xiao Linye said nothing.
That... *pervert*... Seventh Master? They weren’t collaborating anymore, so why did she still see him that way?
Xiao Linye’s expression tensed, and the small car was suddenly filled with a cold atmosphere.
Ye Yuning didn’t understand where this chill was coming from.
She continued sheepishly, "Now that pervert, Seventh Master, isn’t working with our studio anymore, that rich brat has been hounding our boss like a mad dog. Recently, he and his fiancée moved their studio above ours and have been causing trouble for our boss day in and day out."
"Our boss originally didn’t want to bother with him, but he went too far today. He even ca to our office demanding that our boss kneel and apologize to him and his current fiancée."
Her repeatedly calling him a ’pervert’ made Xiao Linye’s breathing a little unsteady. "But that’s your boss’s business."
"Yes, but you know our boss’s temper, she couldn’t stand it, right? So they just started fighting! As her most capable gofer, I obviously had to help our boss. If she got hurt, who would pay my salary!"
Despite her small stature, she spoke so convincingly that it didn’t sound like she was just making things up at all.
After all, Xiao Linye had a basic understanding of the kind of person Xiao Shuo was.
When he had told Lai Shuo they would no longer collaborate with Manlang, he knew Xiao Shuo would surely cause trouble for that Ms. Ye.
But he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly. It had only been a few days, and Xiao Shuo already couldn’t hold back!
