Xiao Linye was resolute.
In any case, he wouldn’t agree to anything related to Qin Jinchuan or Turanxi right now.
Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. eting the determination in his eyes, she laughed lightly. "I didn’t intend to discuss this with you."
Xiao Linye said nothing, his breathing growing heavy again.
Ye Yuning always seed to have this ability, though he never knew if she did it on purpose. Either way, she could effortlessly ignite the rage in his heart.
At this mont of eye contact, Xiao Linye asked, "So, you still haven’t settled things with Qin Jinchuan?"
Last night’s score still hadn’t been settled, he thought. And now she wants to invest for Qin Jinchuan? Doesn’t she have any idea that she should keep a certain distance from the opposite sex?
Ye Yuning replied, "I have nothing with him that needs handling."
I’ve always kept public and private matters separate, she thought. Private issues have already been clarified, and business matters are even more straightforward—I just do what needs to be done. So there’s nothing to handle.
Xiao Linye was silent again, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His already gloomy expression turned utterly black upon hearing Ye Yuning say that she had nothing to handle with Qin Jinchuan.
Xiao Linye narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Just as he was about to speak again, his phone suddenly rang, interrupting his train of thought.
He pulled out his phone and saw it was a call from Qi Mulan.
When Ye Yuning caught a glimpse of the na ’Mulan’ on the screen, a deep mockery surfaced in her eyes.
Xiao Linye glanced at her and picked up the call. "Mulan."
"Aye, I can’t go on, I really can’t go on anymore!" Qi Mulan’s despairing voice ca over the phone.
Even through the phone, the entire car seed enveloped in Qi Mulan’s despair.
Xiao Linye, already in a foul mood, gripped the phone tighter upon hearing her words. "Calm down!"
"I didn’t interfere in your relationship; you two divorced first! Why am I being labeled the ’mistress’? I was supposed to be Mrs. Xiao too! My conduct has nothing to do with Ye Yuning, so why has it co to this? Why have things turned out like this?" Qi Mulan scread hysterically.
The word ’mistress’ struck a raw nerve with Xiao Linye.
He glared icily at Ye Yuning. In her eyes, he saw a chill as sharp as ice shards.
eting his gaze, a cold light flashed in Ye Yuning’s eyes as well.
Why is he looking at like that? she wondered. Does he really think I orchestrated this whole ss behind the scenes? Yes, that’s what his gaze implies...
Ye Yuning’s breathing deepened.
"I’m not the mistress! I’m the one who was ant to be the young Mrs. Xiao! That lavish wedding was supposed to be mine! Why has it turned out this way?"
"Our relationship only started after you and Ye Yuning divorced! Why has it co to this now? Aye, tell why!"
Qi Mulan’s desperate, crazed voice was accompanied by the sound of rushing wind.
Xiao Linye’s brow furrowed as he asked, "Where are you right now?"
"The hospital rooftop!"
Upon hearing this, alarm washed over Xiao Linye’s face.
His hands reacted faster than his brain; he started the car imdiately while roaring into the phone, "What do you think you’re doing?!"
"Aye, I have a wonderful life ahead of ! My dream life isn’t supposed to be like this!"
"Just calm down and listen to !" Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavy.
The car was already moving. Watching him in such a rush, Ye Yuning felt her heart sink further and further.
In this mont, she saw clearly just how worried Xiao Linye was about Qi Mulan.
Who was it that said their relationship abroad was purely platonic? Does this look platonic? If their relationship was truly so innocent, would he be reacting like this?
"Aye, why are you treating like this? Why has my life turned out like this? I’ve beco the mistress!"
"From the esteed future Mrs. Xiao to a mistress! I’m a mistress..."
"No, you’re not! Mulan, listen to . Don’t move. Stay right there, don’t move! I’m coming right now, okay?" Xiao Linye spoke softly, trying to soothe Qi Mulan’s emotions. Sweat beaded on his forehead, betraying his anxiety.
Ye Yuning watched him, her lips pressed into a tight line.
Even though she had been trying hard lately to accept her position, at this mont, seeing Xiao Linye be so tender with Qi Mulan, her mind went blank.
Not knowing what was said on the other end, all she heard was Xiao Linye patiently asking, "Okay, tell what you want."
