At the dinner table.
Ye Yuning felt her stomach couldn’t take it anymore, but she still forced herself to eat, trying to appear spirited. Even so, Xiao Linye still noticed sothing was off with her.
He said to the housekeeper, who was tidying up nearby, "You don’t need to co to prepare breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir," the housekeeper nodded respectfully.
Ye Yuning looked at Xiao Linye, puzzled. "Why not? Are we going out to eat?"
Xiao Linye replied, "Tomorrow morning, I’m taking you to the hospital for a fasting check-up first. We can talk about eating after that."
Ye Yuning’s eyelids twitched. Looking at Xiao Linye, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
How could I have forgotten about this? The hospital! We’re going to the hospital... What am I going to do? I absolutely cannot go to the hospital.
"If you’re delayed for so long tomorrow, won’t the company have an issue? Maybe I should just go by myself."
As soon as these words left her mouth, Ye Yuning wanted to slap herself. What am I being so naive about? He’s the Xiao Seventh Master, after all! I’m afraid that apart from Old Master Xiao, no one in this world could possibly restrain him. Wait, that’s not right...! Considering how furious Old Master Xiao was when he visited last ti, it probably ans even Old Master Xiao can’t do anything about him, right? So, actually, I don’t need to worry so much? As long as he’s determined to be with , absolutely no one can make trouble for ? But the problem is! But would he really accept , Xiao Shuo’s forr fiancée, who also almost married Qin Jinchuan?
Ye Yuning felt her whole body go weak. She had never cared about her reputation before, but now, she felt she truly couldn’t afford to tarnish it recklessly. Otherwise, once you start to care about sothing, it’s often too late to do anything about it!
Amidst Ye Yuning’s extre inner turmoil, Xiao Linye said calmly, "It won’t be a problem. I’ve already requested leave."
Ye Yuning was speechless. He’s really lying without batting an eye! Going to the hospital together!
"I’m not going!" Ye Yuning shook her head, her tone firm.
I can’t go to the hospital. No matter what, I just can’t. If I go to the hospital, it’ll really be all over.
This was despite all the discussions she’d had with Tang Xi and Xia Andai in the office today. But now, Ye Yuning was still a ss of confusion.
Xiao Linye frowned. "Why not?"
His tone had deepened, and his gaze sharpened. Undoubtedly, Ye Yuning’s repeated refusals to go to the hospital made Xiao Linye sense that sothing was amiss.
Ye Yuning blurted out, "What if they find out I have so serious illness?"
"Then that’s even better. We can treat it early!"
"Anyway, I’m just not going! No matter what you say, I won’t go!" Ye Yuning’s temper flared. Her voice clearly rose, no longer just refusing to go to the hospital, but also showing signs of petulance.
Xiao Linye frowned. His gaze on her gradually deepened.
Ye Yuning felt a little unnerved by his stare. "I’m just not going to the hospital~!"
At this mont, Ye Yuning beca certain of one thing. Run! She couldn’t bring herself to hurt Xiao Linye by exposing everything and making both him and the entire Xiao Family a laughingstock. So, I have to run! But even if I run, I need a legitimate reason, right? A legitimate reason~?!
As the thought flashed through her mind, Ye Yuning looked at Xiao Linye, a clear idea forming.
She stood up and, with a CLANG, slamd the spoon in her hand hard onto the table.
Her action was so abrupt that even the housekeeper tidying up in the kitchen heard the commotion. She hurried out.
In the dining room, the gentleness in Ye Yuning’s gaze towards Xiao Linye had vanished. "I am not going to the hospital!" She spoke word by word, her voice firm and tinged with anger.
Xiao Linye looked up, his deep gaze now mixed with a hint of sharpness. "Tell . What are you hiding from ?" His attitude had clearly turned cold.
And in that chill, the mont Ye Yuning t his gaze, she even detected a hint of danger.
What is this...?
For months, he had always treated her gently. Although he wasn’t overtly furious now, Ye Yuning distinctly sensed the rumored ruthlessness emanating from him. Her heart couldn’t help but tremble.
"What could I possibly be hiding from you? Don’t you trust ?"
As soon as she said this, the suspicion that had already taken root in Xiao Linye’s heart was almost confird. His gaze, which had already been cooling, now turned completely icy.
Xiao Linye stood up. He walked directly around the dining table towards Ye Yuning. Seeing his suddenly imposing aura, Ye Yuning instinctively took a step back.
"Wh-what are you doing?" she stamred.
The mont the words left her mouth, her wrist was seized.
The atmosphere in the room instantly tensed. The housekeeper, seeing this, hurriedly tried to diate, "Sir, Madam might be feeling unwell. You... you..."
Before the housekeeper could finish, Xiao Linye was already dragging Ye Yuning towards the door.
Ye Yuning instantly understood Xiao Linye’s intention.
Damn it! He had originally planned for us to go to the hospital tomorrow, but it seems he wants to take right now. This man... you really can’t let him have any doubts. Once he suspects sothing, he’ll imdiately try to get to the bottom of it. He couldn’t wait until tomorrow; he wants to take to the hospital for a check-up right now!
