He had just hung up the call with Qin Jinchuan when Xiao Linye stord in, his face dark as a thundercloud. His gaze toward her left nothing to the imagination. Utterly devoid of tenderness, it was as if he wanted to devour her.
Ye Yuning flipped open a file. "If you have sothing to say, just say it!"
She uttered these four words bluntly, her tone laced with clear impatience. Clearly, the current Ye Yuning had no desire to deal with Xiao Linye.
Xiao Linye dangerously narrowed his eyes. "What’s going on with you and Qin Jinchuan? Is this for real?"
When people from the Qi Family ca looking for her, she actually sought out Qin Jinchuan for help! What? Is he dead? Or incapacitated? Thinking this, Xiao Linye felt a surging anger in his heart.
Hearing his strong accusation, Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow at him. "On what standing or capacity are you asking this question?"
"What do you an?" Xiao Linye’s temper was at its breaking point.
"There’s no relation between us anymore," Ye Yuning stated. "Now, when n marry and won wed, we should have nothing to do with each other, right?" She didn’t wait for his response before continuing, "Or did I rember incorrectly? Can an ex-husband still act as an ex-wife’s guardian? If that’s the case, then the law truly makes no sense."
Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavy.
In the past at Shanyu Pavilion, she had been quite a demure and unassuming girl. Looking at her now, how did she beco so sharp-tongued! Even Xiao Linye, with his clear thinking, felt sowhat overwheld at this mont.
Xiao Linye glared at Ye Yuning, grinding his teeth. "Ye Yuning, you should be very clear about what kind of place the Qin Family is."
"Do you really want to jump into those murky waters? Or do you think Qin Jinchuan can really protect you?"
At these words, Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows, eting Xiao Linye’s now bloodshot eyes.
She took a deep breath and said, "The way you’re talking, it’s as if the Xiao Family is any simpler. Right now, your father still wants to marry off to your nephew."
"I, for one, have no interest in wading through your Xiao Family’s muddied waters, but your father must have so backup plan in mind, just waiting for Xiao Shuo to give in, right?"
Simple? The Xiao Family and the Qin Family—aren’t they cast from the sa mold? And he still has the nerve to stand there and say the Qin Family isn’t simple? In Ye Yuning’s eyes, they were both shaless.
Xiao Linye’s breathing beca heavier, his head aching at this point.
"So, you think you don’t have enough problems already? You want more?!" he challenged.
"The Xiao Family is still causing trouble to this very day," Ye Yuning retorted, "and I haven’t seen you handle it very effectively."
"What’s so different about the Qin Family’s trouble? Mrs. Qin hasn’t bothered . On the other hand, the Qi Family, who are connected to you, won’t stop—either phoning or trying to attack in person!"
"Are you really going to tell that Mrs. Qi ca here today just for a simple chat? That she was rely asking to stay away from you and begging to graciously make way for you and Qi Mulan?"
Profound minds, deep waters? If we’re talking about real depth, the Qi Family and the Xiao Family are her current big problems.
Xiao Linye took a heavy breath.
Every word spoken by Ye Yuning hit the mark. So, it wasn’t that she had been ignoring everything recently, throwing herself into work. In truth, she knew exactly what was swirling around her, as clear as a reflection in a mirror.
"I’ll take care of the Qi Family’s affairs. I guarantee they won’t appear before you again."
"And the Xiao Family? Actually, your nephew seems quite nice. Apart from being a bit of a playboy, Xiao Shuo is quite innocent and very controllable."
"What do you an?"
"What do I an? It ans don’t push too far. Be careful, or I might really marry your nephew. After all, he and I were once engaged."
With that said, the entire office atmosphere turned icy.
First Qin Jinchuan, now Xiao Shuo. So now, Xiao Shuo had beco another contender in his world? Xiao Linye’s face turned a shade of green from anger.
"Ye Yuning, what are you thinking? Do you actually fancy soone like Xiao Shuo?"
Although Xiao Shuo was his own nephew, Xiao Linye was now so furious that he spoke without restraint.
Ye Yuning scoffed. "What ’soone’? Isn’t he also a mber of your Xiao Family? Your Xiao Family is like a big dye vat, filled with all sorts of characters!"
"You..."
"Xiao Linye, rember this: you’re not my guardian. You’re just indebted to . Right now, whatever I want, you have to give , because my brother used his own life to save yours."
The more she spoke, the redder her face and neck beca.
Xiao Linye’s breathing turned even heavier. His expression? It had turned extrely ugly.
She said he owed her, that his life was saved by her brother’s sacrifice, so whatever she wanted, he had to provide. And she wanted everything except him—was that what she ant?
Xiao Linye’s breath beca heavier and heavier, until it felt like it would burst.
"I owe you?"
Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows. "Isn’t that the case?"
"Yes, I owe you!"
"That’s right. So, whatever I want, you should give . Don’t worry about anything else, understand?"
She wants whatever she asks for, and he shouldn’t ddle too much? Where in this world could such an easy deal exist?
