Chapter 464
Ye Yuning was still in a daze as Xiao Linye led her back to her room. "Why did you come over in the middle of the night?""I missed you."
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Why did she feel that when Xiao Linye said "I missed you," there was a hint of grievance in his tone?
She suddenly felt that she was truly a villain.
At first, it was just to block the misdeeds of the Qin Family and the Ye Family. Who would have thought she would actually develop feelings in this matter?
She sighed. "Oh..."
"Sighing about what?" Xiao Linye asked.
Ye Yuning shook her head. "I didn’t expect you to have such a childish side."
"You’re calling me childish?" Xiao Linye’s tone suddenly turned dangerous.
Ye Yuning sensed his intent and tried to flee, but in the next moment, he caught her ankle.
"Hey, you!" she protested.
"Am I childish? HMM?" he pressed. The "HMM?" at the end carried a clear purpose; if Ye Yuning dared to nod at that moment, Xiao Linye would undoubtedly devour her without a second thought.
In such a situation, how could she dare say a single word against him?
She immediately shook her head. "No, not childish. It’s me who’s childish."
"HMPH!" Xiao Linye grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Don’t move! It’s ticklish, ticklish!" Ye Yuning cried out, instinctively struggling as a ticklish sensation came from the sole of her foot.
"Don’t move," Xiao Linye said gently. "Let me see how your injury is."
With her away on a business trip these past few days, Xiao Linye’s biggest worry had been that she was overusing her injured foot.
When Ye Yuning heard he wanted to check her injury, she immediately settled down.
It was impossible not to be moved!
In her memory, no one had ever cared for her so attentively.
She had never experienced the warmth of familial affection!
And now, Xiao Linye, her husband, filled all the emotional voids within her!
Daily greetings and concern weren’t enough; now he had even followed her here.
"It’s not swollen. Is the pain still very noticeable?" he asked.
"I already told you, it’s fine," she replied.
"Haven’t you been running around a lot during this business trip?" Xiao Linye asked.
He was most worried that wicked woman had been dragging her everywhere, making her injury worse.
If that were the case, he wouldn’t let that wicked woman off easily.
"I went to quite a few places," Ye Yuning explained, "but I didn’t strain my foot much. I mostly traveled by car."
That might be so, but going from one place to another, didn’t she still have to walk?
Ye Yuning glanced at her phone. It was four in the morning!
"You just came all this way to find me? Don’t you have work tomorrow?" she asked, her voice laced with worry.
"I took leave," Xiao Linye replied simply.
Ye Yuning was speechless. That was remarkably impulsive.
Still, for someone with an annual salary, taking leave wasn’t a huge deal. That much was understandable.
Ye Yuning sighed. "So, are you planning to wait and go back with me the day after tomorrow?"
"Is that okay?" Xiao Linye asked.
"Sure, why not?" Ye Yuning replied.
He had come all the way from Upper City to find her. If she said no now, he would surely feel terrible.
"But," she added, "we still have some things to take care of here tomorrow. What are your plans?"
Xiao Linye remained silent for a moment.
"If you don’t have any plans, you’ll have to wait for me at the hotel," Ye Yuning added.
"I have a few things to take care of here too," Xiao Linye said. "Don’t worry about me."
"Okay." Ye Yuning nodded.
Seeing that her foot injury wasn’t serious, Xiao Linye tucked her into bed and told her to get some sleep.
Ye Yuning had gone to bed early the previous night, so now that she had been woken up, it wasn’t easy for her to fall asleep again.
Her eyes, hazy with sleep, gazed at Xiao Linye, looking utterly aggrieved.
Xiao Linye gently ruffled her soft hair. "I’m going to take a shower. Close your eyes now."
"Mhm," Ye Yuning responded obediently and immediately closed her eyes.
Xiao Linye looked at her obedient demeanor, a warm smile gracing his lips.
He had told her to sleep.
However, not only could she not fall asleep, but Xiao Linye, emerging after his shower, couldn’t sleep either.
Especially when holding Ye Yuning’s soft, small frame, his heart grew even more restless.
The moment Ye Yuning turned and wrapped herself around him, his self-control was pushed to its very limit.
"You..." he began.
"I can’t sleep," Ye Yuning mumbled, her voice full of grievance.
What man could withstand a woman in such a state? Xiao Linye had always considered himself a man of strong self-control.
However, facing Ye Yuning like this, that line of defense instantly crumbled.
His magnetic voice, husky with desire, proposed, "Then, shall we do something... interesting?"
"Do what...?" Ye Yuning began, but before she could finish, a "MMH!" escaped her as she was devoured.
She really shouldn’t have asked!
When a man says something like that to you, what else could he possibly mean?
Of course, it meant he would immediately do as he pleased...
Throughout the latter half of the night, the sky over Luozhou seemed to grow warmer.
Ye Yuning, who had initially been unable to sleep, was eventually exhausted to the point of collapse by Xiao Linye.
The next morning, she was woken by the sound of her phone ringing.
The moment she answered, Chen Wei’s voice exploded through the receiver, "Boss, where did you go?"
The word "Boss" instantly jolted Ye Yuning fully awake.
Her eyes flew open, and she instinctively looked to see if Xiao Linye was still beside her.
When she met the man’s drowsy, sleep-filled eyes, her mind went completely blank with a BUZZ.
