Chapter 465
Chen Wei? Seriously?Just as Chen Wei was about to speak again, Ye Yuning said into the phone, "Is the boss looking for me? I’ll be right there!"
Without waiting for Chen Wei on the other end to respond, Ye Yuning hung up immediately.
Meeting Xiao Linye’s sleepy gaze, Ye Yuning also felt extremely tired; she wished she could just sleep alongside him. But I can’t let his charm delay me; I still have important things to do today.
After setting down the phone, she snuggled in Xiao Linye’s arms. "The boss called me; I need to leave right away."
"That wretched woman, why is she so meddlesome?" Xiao Linye said, somewhat annoyed. He obviously hadn’t heard everything Chen Wei had said on the call.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Yuning felt a weight lift from her heart.
She sighed softly. "How can you say she’s being meddlesome? We’re here on a business trip to work. Why else would we be on a business trip if not for work?" As she spoke, she was already getting up.
Xiao Linye still felt dissatisfied hearing her say this. However, after this little incident, he definitely couldn’t casually torment that wretched woman now. And Qin Jinchuan, too, is now starting to have *those* kinds of thoughts about that woman! Thinking of Qin Jinchuan’s situation, Xiao Linye couldn’t help but mentally light a row of candles for him. He prayed Qin Jinchuan wouldn’t be angered to death by that woman!
Seeing Ye Yuning about to get up, Xiao Linye also rose. He turned to get her clothes, only then remembering she had been wearing pajamas when he carried her upstairs last night. He picked up the pajamas lying nearby and helped her put them on. Luckily, the pajamas she had brought on this trip were quite modest, covering her completely once on.
Watching him attend to every little detail, Ye Yuning smiled sweetly and couldn’t resist pecking Xiao Linye on the cheek.
Xiao Linye was speechless. Seeing her triumphant expression, he was momentarily stunned. After fastening her last button, he cupped her small head and kissed her deeply.
Ye Yuning mumbled, "Mm, don’t. I still need to go out later." If my lips get swollen from his kisses, how can I go out and face people? Her small hands clutched tightly at the lapel of his pajamas, and Xiao Linye instantly came to his senses.
This little vixen...
"Still going to be mischievous?"
"No, I wouldn’t dare!" Ye Yuning quickly shook her head. She hadn’t realized he was so easily provoked; just one little kiss and he reacted so strongly.
Xiao Linye warned, "Don’t provoke me in the morning! Understand?"
Ye Yuning asked, "Why?"
Xiao Linye pinched her small nose. "A man in the morning is like a lion; you can’t handle it!"
Ye Yuning was speechless. His words made her small face flush crimson instantly. The longer she spent with Xiao Linye, the more she discovered this man wasn’t as cold and abstinent as he seemed on the surface. On the contrary, the fire in him ignited with the slightest spark; he was nothing like the composed man she’d first met!
Xiao Linye helped her straighten her clothes, his voice husky. "I’ll take you back to your room to change."
"There’s no need. Chen Wei probably isn’t free right now anyway," Ye Yuning said.
Xiao Linye paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded. "Are you going to get breakfast by yourself?"
Xiao Linye replied, "Don’t worry about me. Just go get your own."
"Okay." Hearing him say that, Ye Yuning didn’t press further.
Just as she turned to leave, a force gripped her wrist. Ye Yuning looked back. "What’s wrong?"
Before she could react, Xiao Linye gave her another deep, lingering kiss.
Ye Yuning felt like crying. This wicked man. I don’t even know what state he left me in last night; can I even go out today?
Just as she was about to push him away, Xiao Linye released her, his magnetic voice thick with desire. "Go on."
Ye Yuning quickly fled. If I stay any longer, I won’t get out of this room all morning!
Xiao Linye watched her dart out like a little rabbit, and his heart tightened. Doesn’t this girl realize her foot is still injured? Am I some kind of monster she’s fleeing from?
When Ye Yuning returned to her room, Chen Wei had already finished her makeup. Seeing Ye Yuning return in her pajamas, Chen Wei was taken aback. "Boss? Where did you go?" Wearing pajamas out in the hotel... she couldn’t have been up to no good, could she? This is... quite something.
"My husband suddenly came over last night." Knowing what Chen Wei was thinking, Ye Yuning gave her a pointed look.
Any misunderstanding Chen Wei might have had abruptly ceased. At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good she wasn’t out doing something inappropriate. If that were the case, I’d be really upset. In my mind, the boss has always been a rather upright and capable woman. She’s not physically imposing, but her ability to handle people and situations is considerable. I really hope the boss isn’t a bad person...
"So it was your husband! He really treasures you, following you even on a business trip."
Treasures me? If only Xiao Linye would always treasure me like this... All the tenderness he showed me now made me feel so secure that I never wanted it to end. The more I savor this current peace, the more I worry that when the truth about my past can no longer be hidden, he will abandon me. Thinking of all the awful things from her past, Ye Yuning felt completely overwhelmed.
