Ye Yuning was delayed by contract negotiations with Simon, so she finished work late.
Knowing Xiao Linye was waiting for her, she asked, "Shall we eat out tonight?"
She felt that Xiao Linye had had a long day and didn’t want him to have to prepare dinner after returning ho.
And since she wasn’t much of a cook herself, she figured it would be better to just grab sothing casual outside.
Xiao Linye, of course, had no objections and was happy to let her decide.
Ye Yuning smiled and nodded. "Then let’s have your favorite tonight."
"I’m fine with anything."
"How about we go for seafood?" Ye Yuning suggested after a mont’s thought.
Most seafood could be stead, making it a lighter option.
Xiao Linye also thought of this. "Are you sure you want to eat that?"
"Sure. I actually feel like having seafood today."
When it ca to flavors, she wasn’t very picky. If she had to choose, though, she would opt for sothing spicy.
Hearing her say she wanted to eat it, Xiao Linye naturally had no further objections.
The two arrived at a famous seafood restaurant in Upper City. Since Xiao Linye and Ye Yuning had finished work late, the restaurant was quite busy.
But as soon as he spoke a few words at the front desk, a waiter imdiately led them to a table by the window.
The mont they sat down, it felt as if all the lights of Upper City spread out beneath their feet.
When Xiao Linye picked up the nu to pass it to her, Ye Yuning said first, "You know more about seafood. Why don’t you order?"
Xiao Linye nodded. "Shrimp? Will you have so?"
"Yes, and crab too."
She wasn’t too fussy about food.
Although she had ostensibly co with Xiao Linye for sothing light, when it ca to ordering, Ye Yuning couldn’t resist choosing two spicy dishes.
Xiao Shuo and Ye Tong had been bickering, but Ye Tong had sohow managed to placate him.
The two of them also ended up at the sa seafood restaurant!
However, just as they entered the lobby, Xiao Shuo quickly grabbed Ye Tong and started to drag her out again.
As he pulled her hastily, Ye Tong, wearing high heels, twisted her ankle and yelped in pain.
But Xiao Shuo paid no mind to her pain and kept dragging her along!
He didn’t let go until he had dragged her into the car.
Ye Tong finally lost her temper. "What are you doing? Did you see a ghost or sothing?"
Because of their collaboration with the Xiao Corporation, Ye Tong now felt a bit more confident in front of Xiao Shuo.
Xiao Shuo’s face was ashen.
Shaking, he lit a cigarette and took a harsh drag. "I really did see a damn ghost!"
Ye Tong was montarily speechless. It was nightti, but surely he wasn’t just spouting nonsense, was he?
Before she could ask, she heard Xiao Shuo exclaim furiously, "Since when did that woman get so close to my Uncle Seven?"
It really was like seeing a ghost!
Just a few days ago, he had seen those two dining together, and now, tonight, they were at it again!
Ye Tong asked, "Are you talking about Ye Yuning?"
"You didn’t see Ye Yuning just now?"
"No, you pulled out so quickly!" She really hadn’t seen anything.
Then, before Xiao Shuo could speak, Ye Tong exclaid, "You an she’s dining with your Uncle Seven again?"
Xiao Shuo was so furious he was speechless, his face turning livid.
Ye Tong’s expression also darkened.
She had truly underestimated Ye Yuning’s capabilities.
Xiao Shuo seethed, "She acts all disdainful towards the Xiao Corporation in private, then turns around and cozies up to Uncle Seven. That bitch!"
Ye Tong asked, "Could she be trying to take back the Nanjia Peak project?"
They were no longer collaborating, yet they were still dining together. This made Ye Tong doubt Ye Yuning’s motives.
Hearing this, Xiao Shuo’s breathing grew heavier.
"She wishes! Trying to lick up what she already spat out? She really has so nerve!"
Ye Tong thought, She really does have so nerve!
Now truly anxious, she said in a tight voice, "We can’t let her snatch the Nanjia Peak project back."
"Of course not!" Xiao Shuo gritted his teeth.
Thinking of Ye Yuning’s previous arrogance, how could he allow her to have any further involvent with the Xiao Corporation?
If they really started collaborating, would there be any place left for him?
A vicious glint flashed in Ye Tong’s eyes, and she trembled.
Xiao Shuo looked at her. "Do well at the Bugelang Exhibition. Only by making an impact there will your future path be smoother."
Ye Tong nodded. "Don’t worry. The piece I’m exhibiting this ti is Nanjia Peak. Since your Uncle Seven himself appreciated it, winning an award will definitely be no problem."
In this aspect, Ye Tong was very confident.
As long as she secured her status at that exhibition, crushing Ye Yuning underfoot would only be a matter of ti.
anwhile, the subjects of their discussion, Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye, were still at the restaurant. Ye Yuning watched Xiao Linye peel shrimp, the admiration in her eyes almost impossible to conceal.
It had to be admitted, a handso man looked good no matter what he was doing.
