「On Ye Yuning’s side.」
At lunchti, her hand was still sowhat inconvenient to use. Writing with a pen that morning had been quite an ordeal. She hadn’t felt much pain last night, but now it throbbed with an intensity that was anything but ordinary.
Luo Xin had prepared lunch for her.
Seeing the state of her hand, Luo Xin asked, "Boss, would you like to feed you?"
Ye Yuning replied, "No need, I can manage slowly."
"Then I’ll get you a spoon."
"Alright."
Her hand was indeed making it difficult to use chopsticks; she had used a spoon that morning as well.
Just as she opened her lunchbox, Ji Nan arrived. He was carrying a lunchbox, and a glance at its logo revealed it was from a very famous hotel.
Seeing Ye Yuning already eating, Ji Nan approached respectfully. "Boss Ye, you’ve already started your al?"
"Mhm," Ye Yuning nodded.
Ji Nan saw it was just a simple takeout al. He quickly took the lunchbox from her. "With your current status, you shouldn’t be eating this."
"What status? I’m no longer Mada Xiao Qishao. My status is very ordinary."
"Even if you’re not Mada Xiao Qishao, your net worth is in the tens of billions."
Ye Yuning said nothing.
"It’s good that you’re not Mada Xiao Qishao. If you want to beco Mrs. Qin, that can be arranged with just a word."
Again, Ye Yuning was silent.
"Just say the word, and our Boss Qin can give you an unforgettable wedding this very afternoon!"
Lai Shuo, who was bringing lunch, arrived just in ti to hear Ji Nan’s sycophantic words. His face darkened, and his chest tightened with annoyance.
Ji Nan is already here. Does this an Boss Qin knows what happened last night? he wondered. No wonder the Seventh Master was so furious.
Ji Nan quickly placed the takeout containers before Ye Yuning. It was a very nutritious al with three dishes and a soup.
"Boss Qin had pick this up specially from that hotel. It was delivered in an insulated bag, so it’s still hot."
"Boss Qin gave strict orders to take good care of you. He said you mustn’t eat cold food because your stomach isn’t very strong."
"You can’t eat barbecue like you did last night anymore. From now on, if you’re hungry, just tell . I can even cook for you myself—it’ll definitely be healthy."
Ye Yuning was left speechless.
It had to be said, the difference between the people around Xiao Linye and those around Qin Jinchuan was starkly apparent at this mont, she thought.
Seeing Ji Nan fawning over Ye Yuning, Lai Shuo couldn’t help but curse inwardly, Bootlicker!
He cleared his throat twice.
Ye Yuning and Ji Nan both looked up at the sa ti, only then noticing Lai Shuo standing at the office doorway, holding sothing.
Luo Xin was still thinking about the untouched al, figuring she could just eat it herself so it wouldn’t go to waste. Seeing Lai Shuo co in, the corner of her mouth twitched.
What in the world? she thought. No, this... The studio had been incredibly busy these past few days. Even she had been swamped, to the point where she’d forgotten to prepare dinner for the boss last night. Everyone was this busy, and Lai Shuo hadn’t lifted a finger to help. Yet now, he’d actually, for the first ti ever, prepared lunch?
Luo Xin instinctively glanced at Ye Yuning and saw that her expression was grim.
"Luo Xin."
"Yes, Boss."
"I’m quite busy here. Please show Mr. Lai out."
Her tone was distant, her attitude frigid.
Having been with Ye Yuning for so long, how could Luo Xin not understand what she ant? She quickly stepped forward. "Mr. Lai, the boss is not available to see you right now. Please leave."
Facing Luo Xin, Lai Shuo’s grip on the bag in his hand tightened involuntarily. Then, his gaze shifted to Ye Yuning.
Ye Yuning was no longer looking at him.
Ji Nan handed her a spoon, saying gently, "Knowing your hand is giving you trouble, I also brought you a spoon."
Hearing this, Lai Shuo finally noticed the bandages on both of Ye Yuning’s hands.
She was that badly injured last night?
At that mont, an uncomfortable feeling stirred in Lai Shuo’s heart.
Last night, he hadn’t gotten out of the car partly because he’d seen soone at the opposite table about to intervene. And his reason for staying put was to let Ye Yuning see Xiao Linye’s attitude towards her, hoping she would realize the difficulty and back off. After all, getting involved with the Xiao Family and the Qi Family offered her no benefits now. But he truly hadn’t expected Ye Yuning to get hurt, let alone so seriously.
For Ji Nan’s thoughtfulness, Ye Yuning thanked him politely, "Thank you."
Ji Nan shook his head. "There’s no need for thanks. This is what we should do," he said respectfully.
Ye Yuning began to eat with the spoon. She had to admit, the food from this hotel was truly delicious. Even for a picky eater like her, she found the al quite flavorful.
"This tastes good. That was thoughtful of you."
"From now on, I’ll make sure you have different als every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you get tired of eating out, just let know, and I’ll cook for you."
"You can cook too?" Ye Yuning was surprised.
Just how multi-talented were the people around Qin Jinchuan?
Ji Nan nodded. "Yes, I have to. Boss Qin is very particular about his food and often doesn’t like to eat out."
This, Ji Nan was making up. But now, for the sake of that little bit of affection Boss Qin held in his heart, he was willing to go all out.
