If this were the past, Ye Yuning wouldn’t even know how much she would have beaten him up.
Yet here we are now, and she hasn’t even laid a finger on him once!
Chen Wei left.
Xiao Shuo walked up to Ye Yuning’s desk, pulled out the chair across from her, and sat down with a cheerful expression.
Handing her a box, he said, "Here, this is for you."
"Is it empty again?" Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Shuo: "Of course, after all, our relationship isn’t one for real gifts."
Ye Yuning: "..."
Indeed!
It seems Xiao Shuo has never really thought much of her.
During the ti they were engaged, Xiao Shuo never gave her anything.
Now, it’s just a performance...
"You seem to be in a great mood!" Ye Yuning said calmly.
When Xiao Shuo ca in just now, he looked quite happy.
Xiao Shuo nodded, "Of course, I am."
Ye Yuning: "What’s the good news?"
"I swindled ten million last night! Of course, I’m happy."
"Impressive, you really have that kind of mind."
Ye Yuning was shocked.
She rembered when Xiao Shuo was thrown back to work at the Xiao Corporation, how pitiful he looked then.
Back then, everyone thought he was a good-for-nothing, and Ye Yuning thought so too.
"Did you not only suffer but also learn a skill during that ti?" Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow.
Previously, no one would have thought Xiao Shuo had such abilities!
Really, when Xiao Shuo actually swindled money and left, who knows how old Master Xiao would react.
Xiao Shuo: "Desperation in survival changes everything."
"Are you surviving now?"
"Absolutely!"
Considering the current situation, it’s dangerous for him, even just a little.
Right now, Xiao Shuo just wants to quickly get the amount he desires and leave.
Seeing Ye Yuning remain silent, Xiao Shuo looked at her and said, "Even though I’m about to leave Upper City, and in the future, I won’t have anything to do with this city, so we won’t face awkward encounters, precisely because of this, I have sothing to remind you."
"Remind ?"
Hearing Xiao Shuo’s words, Ye Yuning furrowed her brows tightly.
Xiao Shuo nodded, "My seventh uncle is not soone any woman can easily rely on."
"I don’t know what ans you used, but his care for you during that ti was genuine. But now, his attention towards Qi Mulan is quite significant."
Ye Yuning: "..."
Not ntioning Xiao Linye is fine, but once ntioned, her breath instantly sank.
Especially when it concerns Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan, it’s sothing she doesn’t want to hear.
Seeing her face darken, Xiao Shuo thought for a mont and added, "You just lost a child, yet my seventh uncle is getting so close to Qi Mulan. I think sothing must have happened with Qi Mulan, becoming sothing my seventh uncle has to take responsibility for!"
"Responsibility?"
Ye Yuning’s breath hitched!
Xiao Shuo nodded, "Yes, you haven’t been with my seventh uncle for long, so you don’t know the specifics, but he’s not soone you can simply get involved with."
"And at the critical mont of you losing your child, my seventh uncle kept leaving you because of Qi Mulan, which shows that Qi Mulan’s situation must be related to him, and he has to take care of it."
Ye Yuning: "..."
Has to take care of it?
Thinking back to when she returned from Turanxi, still in her postpartum confinent.
Yet even at that ti, Xiao Linye kept leaving because of Qi Mulan!
"Previously, when you just returned from Turanxi, my seventh uncle stayed by Qi Mulan’s side for an entire month."
A month...
The entire tifra left Ye Yuning instantly stunned!
"Given this, if my seventh uncle is not bound by responsibility towards Qi Mulan, then you aren’t suitable to continue being with him if you’re very concerned about Qi Mulan."
The air grew quiet!
Responsibility, a lifelong responsibility, a responsibility that can’t be avoided...
Thinking about the one month Xiao Linye spent with Qi Mulan, if it were any other ti it would be fine.
But during the ti she needed him most, theoretically she should have been the priority.
Yet at that crucial ti, Xiao Linye was by Qi Mulan’s side!
"I’m telling you this today because of your cooperation in my matters this ti. Don’t tell my seventh uncle, don’t get in trouble."
Normally, Xiao Shuo wouldn’t say this.
Ye Yuning lifted her gaze and looked at the novel for a mont.
Her eyes at that mont were deep, no one could tell what she was truly thinking.
"In any case, you’re not suitable to be with my seventh uncle now, maybe never."
Because of Qi Mulan!
Xiao Linye won’t be with Qi Mulan, but at the sa ti, Ye Yuning can’t be with him either.
After all, everyone knows what Qi Mulan truly feels for Xiao Linye.
Just because of those feelings, being with Xiao Linye wouldn’t bring Ye Yuning peace!
Ye Yuning felt suffocated...
Even though during this ti, she hadn’t thought about reconciling with Xiao Linye.
But hearing Xiao Shuo speak like this now, she couldn’t help but tremble inside.
"Thank you."
"Hopefully, you’re soone who listens to advice, even though we’ve reached this point in our relationship, it’s ultimately my fault."
These words were from the heart.
Although he never truly liked Ye Yuning, it was indeed his fault against her.
Today was him risking danger for a final reminder to Ye Yuning.
