Ye Yuning couldn’t cook to save her life.
She thought that those who could cook were extrely impressive.
Hearing that Ji Nan could cook, she truly admired him from the bottom of her heart. "Your woman will be so lucky in the future," she said.
"If you beco Mrs. Qin, you’ll be fortunate too," Ji Nan replied.
Ye Yuning was speechless.
She really felt like he was trying to show off all his capabilities for his boss.
Sensing that Ji Nan was going all out for Qin Jinchuan, Lai Shuo also seed to realize his own shortcomings.
He showed no intention of leaving, which made Luo Xin anxious.
As a result, her expression darkened.
"Is watching our boss eat that interesting?" Luo Xin didn’t hold back her annoyance.
Lai Shuo frowned.
Only then did Ye Yuning and Ji Nan notice Lai Shuo still hadn’t left.
Ye Yuning’s expression soured.
Glancing at the takeout bag in Lai Shuo’s hand, she could tell which prominent restaurant it was from.
"Did Xiao Linye send you?" Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow.
Her tone was neutral, devoid of warmth.
Lai Shuo shook his head. "No, I ca on my own."
Ye Yuning said, "Didn’t I tell you last night not to co anymore?"
He just drove her to and from work, yet every ti sothing happened, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him. She really didn’t need a driver like that.
Lai Shuo walked past Luo Xin, entered the office, and went straight to Ye Yuning’s desk.
The look he gave Ji Nan was clearly hostile.
Ji Nan, however, maintained his gentle expression, seemingly unaffected by Lai Shuo’s attitude.
Lai Shuo looked at Ye Yuning and lowered his head. "I ca to apologize."
He had planned to say this only after Ji Nan and Luo Xin left.
As a man, he felt sowhat embarrassed about this.
What happened last night... his standing by idly was definitely wrong.
But he just couldn’t bring himself to lose face!
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the office grew tense.
Ji Nan instinctively glanced at Ye Yuning, who looked back at him. Luo Xin was utterly baffled.
When Ye Yuning arrived this morning, Luo Xin had noticed she was injured but hadn’t dared to ask how.
Now, hearing Lai Shuo apologize, could her injury be related to him?
If so, Lai Shuo was truly detestable.
Their boss’s hands were crucial!
For a designer, nothing was more vital than their hands.
Earlier that morning, when Ye Yuning was sketching with the designers in the conference room, she had been noticeably less agile than usual.
Luo Xin glared unhappily at Lai Shuo’s back.
Ye Yuning glanced at Ji Nan and said, "Ji Nan, today’s lunch was excellent. Thank you."
"I’ll wait outside," Ji Nan replied.
Understanding Ye Yuning’s aning, Ji Nan nodded and left the office.
Seeing that Ye Yuning wanted to speak with Lai Shuo privately, Luo Xin also quickly left. She didn’t need to think hard to know that, given her boss’s temper, Ye Yuning would undoubtedly berate Lai Shuo harshly.
Why did he have to injure her boss’s hand of all things?
***
Only Ye Yuning and Lai Shuo remained in the office. Lai Shuo visibly sighed in relief.
Clearly, he had been terrified Ye Yuning would humiliate him in front of Ji Nan and Luo Xin.
Observing his deanor, Ye Yuning snorted. "It’s rare for you to apologize."
"But how many tis have you apologized to now?"
He had apologized before, back when she was cooperating with the Xiao Corporation and he had infuriated her.
At that ti, she and Xiao Linye were married, both unaware of each other’s true identities.
They were constantly at each other’s throats!
And Lai Shuo was naturally the one who suffered.
Looking back on that period, Ye Yuning still felt it was like a dream.
Being a married couple who didn’t recognize each other in broad daylight—that was probably unique to her and Xiao Linye.
Lai Shuo didn’t directly answer Ye Yuning’s question. He simply said, "Sorry. Last night was my fault."
This ti, Lai Shuo’s apology was filled with sincerity.
That hadn’t happened before.
During their previous cooperation, Lai Shuo had apologized, yes, but never with such earnestness.
Now...
A wry smile touched Ye Yuning’s lips. "Lai Shuo, I suddenly find you quite pitiful."
If one were to truly pinpoint who was to bla for last night, it would be Xiao Linye.
Yet Lai Shuo ended up taking all the bla!
Hearing Ye Yuning’s words, Lai Shuo’s expression darkened.
Ye Yuning asked, "Do you know why Kang Xuan ca here?"
"Why?"
It would have been better if Kang Xuan hadn’t been ntioned.
But as soon as Kang Xuan’s na was ntioned, Lai Shuo imdiately labeled him a ’traitor’ in his heart.
