Chapter 444
Chapter 444
Besides, with me here, Manlang could never collapse.After all, I’ve been managing it for almost three years—what kind of person haven’t I met? What storms haven’t I weathered?
Now, just because of Xiao’s Corporation, they think they can defeat me? Dream on!
Xiao Linye said, "You should have less private contact with your boss in the future. She’s not a good person!"
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Damn it! For the first time since I got married, I feel the urge to argue. What should I do?
This hiding my identity is really too upsetting! Am I just going to let Xiao Linye insult me to my face like this?
And I can’t even talk back!
Is there anyone else in the world as frustrated as I am?
Seeing her silence, Xiao Linye pinched her cheek. "Did you hear that?"
His tone was affectionate but carried an undertone of dominance.
Ye Yuning huffed, "I heard! I heard you!"
How could I not hear him? I’m not deaf!
Xiao Linye, pleased, held her face and kissed her. "Good girl. I’ll make you something delicious."
Ye Yuning pouted and stayed silent.
Clearly, she was still upset from the argument with Xiao Linye...
I regret it now. When I first got together with Xiao Linye, I should have revealed my identity.
What should I do now?
Every time I hear Xiao Linye bad-mouthing me, I get so furious, but I can’t even show my anger.
At this rate, I’m going to make myself sick from bottling all this up!
Xiao Linye had no idea what she was enduring internally as he turned and went to the kitchen.
When Ye Yuning was left alone and received another message from Xiao Shuo, she was so angry she felt like tearing her hair out!
The message read: "[Give me fifty thousand, and I won’t bother you again!]"
To me, Xiao Shuo isn’t worth a dime, yet here he is, shamelessly asking me for fifty thousand. He really has some nerve.
Not wanting to deal with that moron, she was about to put down her phone when a message came in from Chen Wei. It read: "Boss, Ye Tong is really having a meal with Ling Yan!"
Ye Yuning: "..."
Ye Tong knew Ling Yan before returning to the Ye Family!
The night before returning to the Ye Family, I even saw Ling Yan.
Ye Yuning felt something was off.
But for a moment, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it...
Could it be Ling Yan, that wretched woman, orchestrating this whole Ye Tong affair just to plot against me?
If that’s the case, am I really worth her going to all this trouble, making such a big fuss over me?
However, Zheng Cai did a paternity test before taking Ye Tong in, so there shouldn’t be any mistake!
If I could just confirm whether Zheng Cai performed the paternity test before or after Ling Yan and Ye Tong met, then some things might indeed call for a conspiracy theory!
Ye Yuning groaned aloud, "Ugh, this is so annoying!"
Her thoughts were a jumble, and Ye Yuning was too annoyed to think about it anymore.
She sent a simple reply to Chen Wei: "[Got it!]"
Ye Yuning didn’t care what those two were conspiring about right now.
Right now, the pressing issue is dealing with Xiao’s Corporation!
Especially now, I just hope Qin Jinchuan doesn’t jump in and add to my problems.
If Qin Jinchuan also chooses this time to be inconsiderate, that would be truly aggravating for me.
When Xiao Linye came out, he saw Ye Yuning rolling on the sofa, clutching her stomach.
Because of her petite stature, the sofa was more than spacious enough for her.
"What are you muttering about? Dinner’s ready!" Xiao Linye said, interrupting Ye Yuning’s thoughts. The source of thɪs content is NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Ye Yuning snapped back to her senses, sat up on the sofa, and leaned over the backrest, gazing plaintively at Xiao Linye.
Xiao Linye was so affected by her gaze that he almost lost his composure for a moment.
"What’s wrong?" he asked gently.
Ye Yuning said softly, "Aye."
"Hmm?" Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow, a warm current sweeping through his heart.
I never knew my name could sound so pleasant, especially coming from Ye Yuning’s lips.
Seeing the corners of his mouth soften, Ye Yuning sniffled. "Why is your Uncle Seven targeting our boss?"
I had intended to go to Xiao’s Corporation today to confront Uncle Seven, but I couldn’t find him.
And with Xiao Linye’s position in Xiao’s Corporation, he should have some idea why Uncle Seven is doing this, right?
Hearing her bring this up, Xiao Linye suppressed the rising frustration in his heart and managed to keep his expression unchanged.
He placed the food he was carrying on the dining table and took off his apron.
Then, he stepped forward and scooped Ye Yuning into his arms.
Ye Yuning nuzzled contentedly into his embrace. "Can’t you tell me?"
"It’s not that I can’t tell you. This is a matter between your boss and Uncle Seven. Don’t get involved."
His words left Ye Yuning somewhat indignant.
"I was working happily at Manlang, and now it could be in trouble at any moment, looking like it might collapse. How could this not concern me?" Her hushed voice was filled with complaints and dissatisfaction towards Xiao’s Corporation.
Xiao Linye replied, "Even so, it’s not something you can handle."
In any case, Xiao Linye was incredibly annoyed with Manlang. He didn’t want to discuss it any further.
Just the thought of that woman made him feel incredibly irritated...
Ye Yuning: "..."
This man, can’t he just give me a reason?
She snuggled against him again, a coquettish, kitten-like movement that nearly made Xiao Linye lose control.
"You little tease," he murmured, his voice hoarse and clearly tinged with desire.
