After work, Xiao Linye picked up Ye Yuning.
On the way, Ye Yuning kept looking out the window, obviously feeling awkward about what had happened between them last night.
Xiao Linye observed her shy, newlywed-like deanor. He took her hand and placed it on the gear lever!
Ye Yuning: "..."
Though usually thick-skinned, her mind suddenly buzzed, and her face flushed red.
While driving, Xiao Linye asked, "Do you need to buy dicine?"
"Huh? I’m not sick!"
Even if that area was injured, he had already applied dicine for her. Although she didn’t know what kind of dicine it was, the discomfort had clearly eased a lot by the afternoon.
Xiao Linye looked at her, his gaze inscrutable.
Ye Yuning: "..."
She still didn’t understand!
Seeing her confused look, Xiao Linye sighed. "If you don’t want children right now, you might need to take ergency asures."
Ye Yuning: "..."
Her already warm face flushed a deeper red.
This guy! She’d thought he was talking about so other kind of dicine! In her mind flashed scenes from those trashy romance novels she’d read, where the scumbag male lead would prepare *that kind of thing* for the female lead after they’d slept together. And because they didn’t want any trouble, they’d even watch the woman take the pill before they felt at ease. Was Xiao Linye actually respecting her wishes? This feeling of being consulted... it felt really good.
Xiao Linye looked at her. "Should we get it?"
Ye Yuning asked, "What about you? What do you think?"
She tossed the question back to Xiao Linye. Honestly, having children with him right now seed a bit far-fetched. Although their current understanding was good, it definitely wasn’t the ti for children.
Xiao Linye squeezed her hand a little tighter, then said, "I think neither of us was in a good state last night. Having a child now might be risky."
He hadn’t said no directly. This showed full respect for her while tactfully indicating it wasn’t appropriate.
Ye Yuning nodded. "Then shall we stop by the pharmacy first?"
Xiao Linye humd in agreent.
There was a pharmacy right at the entrance of Shanyu Pavilion, so they didn’t need to stop on the way.
During the rest of the drive, Ye Yuning mulled things over.
As they neared Shanyu Pavilion, she finally couldn’t resist looking at Xiao Linye. "Um, can I ask you about sothing?"
She was really confused about what had happened today. The Xiao Corporation was becoming increasingly unreasonable. Honestly, if it weren’t for Xiao Linye’s sake, that five-million design fee wouldn’t have swayed her at all.
The car stopped at a red light, and Xiao Linye looked at her. "What do you want to ask?"
"Your Seventh Master... is there sothing, you know, wrong with him up here?" Ye Yuning asked, tapping her temple.
Xiao Linye’s initially gentle expression instantly stiffened.
No one could remain calm when soone suggested there was sothing wrong with their brain. But seeing her innocent expression, he managed to suppress his irritation.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Ye Yuning said, "Our boss was quite upset today."
"What was she upset about?"
So, it had escalated to him being accused of having ntal issues? Who knew what rumors she might have spread in the studio. And she still had the nerve to be upset? Little did he realize, it was precisely because she was upset that she’d concoct such stories.
Ye Yuning continued, "Today, an assistant from the Xiao Corporation called, telling our boss to go work at the Xiao Corporation’s offices. His attitude was very forceful, and with such a distrustful deanor, anyone would get upset, right?"
"Was Assistant Lai rude to your boss?" Xiao Linye asked.
"Rude is an understatent! His attitude was so aggressive, anyone who didn’t know better would think he was Seventh Master Xiao himself!"
Recalling Chen Wei’s expression at that mont, she had looked absolutely livid.
Xiao Linye frowned, clearly not expecting this.
This Lai Shuo... he was getting more and more out of line...
Ye Yuning continued, "It was the first ti our boss encountered a situation like that, so she was upset."
She said this with such a straight face. She was the one who was actually upset...
The light turned green, and the car slowly rged into traffic. Xiao Linye said, "The Nanjia Peak project is very important. Ask your boss to be a bit more understanding."
Ye Yuning: "..." Was he defending his Seventh Master again?
That one sentence left Ye Yuning unsure how to continue.
Xiao Linye asked her, "Are you going over as well?"
"Yes, I definitely have to go."
She was the boss; how could she not go? Behind closed doors, she was the designer; out in public, Chen Wei was... Boss Ye!
When the car stopped at the pharmacy near the entrance, Ye Yuning looked at Xiao Linye hesitantly. "You go buy it!"
She was too embarrassed to ask for *that kind of thing* at the pharmacy.
Hearing this, Xiao Linye paused for a mont, then nodded. "Okay."
