Ultimately, Xiao Linye left.
He summoned Kang Xuan. Kang Xuan had originally been handling Qi Mulan’s affairs, but now it seed Xiao Linye intended to deal with it himself.
The villa had been cleaned before her return, and two housemaids and a doctor were assigned to her.
When she saw Kang Xuan, Ye Yuning sighed. "You can go back to your own ho."
"The Master has instructed to watch over you here," Kang Xuan said respectfully.
Given the situation, he naturally understood Ye Yuning’s significance to Xiao Linye.
Upon hearing that Xiao Linye had ordered him to watch over her, the coldness in her eyes deepened.
Kang Xuan said, "Madam, the Master has always cared deeply about you. He..."
"Don’t say anymore!"
Ye Yuning didn’t want to hear anything more about Xiao Linye. Whether he cared for her or not no longer seed important.
Seeing her reaction, Kang Xuan sighed heavily. What could he possibly say? He understood then that their days ahead would not be easy. It was clear that things between Madam and the Master would not improve anyti soon.
After dinner, the doctor carefully examined Ye Yuning. After confirming she had no issues, a maid escorted her upstairs.
Xiangti was unchanged, just as before. When Ye Yuning returned to her room, even the bedding was what she had used previously. The maids had washed everything thoroughly.
As Ye Yuning lay in bed, a maid brought her warm milk. Ye Yuning accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
"You’re too kind, Madam."
The word ’Madam’ made Ye Yuning’s hand, holding the cup, stiffen, and her expression darkened. Madam? Whose madam was she? Did everyone here think she was Xiao Linye’s wife?
"From now on, call Miss Ye," Ye Yuning said. Being the madam of the Xiao Family wasn’t a role just anyone could fill. She neither wanted it nor felt she was worthy of it.
The maid was stunned for a mont, then nodded respectfully. "Yes, Madam!"
Ye Yuning rely stared at the maid. The maid, feeling awkward under her gaze, quickly corrected herself, "Miss Ye."
Ye Yuning finished the milk and then fell into a deep sleep. She had been exhausted lately. After taking on so many orders in Turanxi, she desperately needed to rest well, as she still had to fulfill them. Even though she wasn’t physically in Turanxi, her work commitnts remained.
Although she hadn’t slept here in a long ti, Ye Yuning had dearly missed her own bed. That night, she slept incredibly well. The doctor checked on her again as soon as she woke up.
「During breakfast.」
Kang Xuan stood behind her.
Ye Yuning asked, "Isn’t your master busy?"
"The Master has instructed to look after you."
Ye Yuning retorted, "Do I look like I need looking after?"
"Whether you need it or not, in the Master’s heart, you do..."
Her breath hitched at his words. "The ti when I needed care has long passed."
Kang Xuan fell silent, daring not to respond to her statent. At the sa ti, he couldn’t help but sigh internally. Given Ye Yuning’s current state, the Master surely wouldn’t have an easy ti either.
Ye Yuning didn’t inquire further about Xiao Linye.
「Later that morning,」 Ye Yuning received a call from Gui Xingli.
"Ningning, where are you?"
"Xiangti."
As she spoke, Ye Yuning’s tone was noticeably softer. Although she had never t her brother, after hearing about Gui Xingli and him, Ye Yuning no longer felt that peculiar sense of confusion when answering Gui Xingli’s gentle call. She even felt a tinge of pity for Gui Xingli. How much pain Gui Xingli must be in. Finding , taking care of ... it has almost beco a form of spiritual solace for her.
"Then I’ll co find you right away."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Ye Yuning set down her phone.
Kang Xuan asked, "Is Miss Gui Xingli coming to see you?"
Speaking of Gui Xingli, Kang Xuan thought, no one could stir up trouble quite like her. Recently, the Old Master had been so angered by her antics that he ended up in the hospital, and then there was Miss Ling Yan to consider as well!
Ye Yuning didn’t speak, rely giving him a cold look. That one glance made Kang Xuan lower his head guiltily.
Before long, Gui Xingli arrived.
Kang Xuan waited outside. Soon, a call ca from Xiao Linye. Kang Xuan quickly answered, "Master."
"How is she?" Xiao Linye asked over the phone.
Kang Xuan replied, "She’s doing well. She ate well too. At breakfast, Ye Yuning ate a good amount. The doctor also examined her and said she’s in good condition."
"Mm."
"Master, aren’t you going to co see her?" Kang Xuan asked. After all, at such a critical ti for Ye Yuning, it would be best if Xiao Linye could visit her. Better yet, he should stay with her! How could he just leave because she said she didn’t want to see him? He should be persistent, stick by her side. After doing so many hurtful things, could he really expect her to co to her senses and forgive him on her own now?
"Qi Mulan ran away!" Xiao Linye’s chilling voice ca through the phone.
Kang Xuan stamred, "Wha-what?" No, it can’t be! Ran away? What does that an?
"Then... can you still divorce her?" Kang Xuan asked anxiously. They had already discussed divorce, and considering Ye Yuning’s current attitude... If the divorce couldn’t proceed smoothly... Thinking of the potential consequences, Kang Xuan tensed up.
