Chapter 508
He was on the phone with the Xiao Family.The gist of the call was that he would bring Ye Yuning back with him for his father’s birthday banquet next month.
When Old Master Xiao heard the name "Yuning," he also found it somewhat familiar. But for the life of him, he couldn’t remember where he had heard it!
He already disliked Ye Yuning, and now, hearing that Xiao Linye would bring her back during his own birthday celebration, he immediately objected, "No way!"
Xiao Linye asked, "Why not?"
"She’s not a good match standing next to you, unless you can make her grow taller in this period of time," Old Master Xiao said with a cold huff.
Thinking about that short girl, Old Master Xiao couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. His own son was at least 1.9 meters tall, wasn’t he? And who did he end up with? A child? Just the matter of height was an absolute deal-breaker for Old Master Xiao!
Xiao Linye stated, "Whether you agree or not, I will bring her back."
He wanted all of Hong City to know that she was the lady of the Xiao Family’s Seventh Master!
"You..." Old Master Xiao began, but Xiao Linye cut him off.
"Treat her well, or this might also be my last time returning to the old house!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Xiao exploded, "Are you threatening your father?!"
"You can take it that way," Xiao Linye replied calmly.
Old Master Xiao was speechless. What was that saying about a man forgetting his mother for his lover? This boy had gone so far as to forget his father too! After all these years he had treated this boy so well, and this is how he repaid him!
Old Master Xiao was so angry his chest heaved. Xiao Linye directly hung up the phone.
The air in the study quieted.
For some reason, an uneasy feeling stirred within him; he worried that something might change between him and Ye Yuning. That was why he had never before considered when to confess his true identity to her! But now, he wanted the whole world to know that Ye Yuning was his woman.
He pinched the aching bridge of his nose and then called his fifth sister, Xiao Ye.
The call was quickly picked up. "Aye!"
"Next month, during the birthday banquet, I will bring Ningning back with me."
"Ah? Go ahead! You’re finally going to bring her back."
"Father disagrees!"
"What?" Xiao Ye was shocked on the other end of the phone.
But then she quickly understood. Ever since Father returned from Shanyu Pavilion, he had maintained this attitude! What he said about Xiao Linye’s wife made her sound utterly worthless.
At this, Xiao Ye also felt somewhat helpless.
"I’ll talk to Father. Don’t worry."
Xiao Linye grunted in acknowledgment. His goal achieved, he hung up the phone directly.
He didn’t immediately return to the bedroom.
Instead, he sat in the study, his mind filled with Ye Yuning’s strange behavior from earlier. She seemed afraid of something...
「Meanwhile, with Ye Yuning.」
She was still exchanging messages with Tang Xi on her phone.
Tang Xi had messaged: *You shouldn’t act rashly now. Just be good and stay put.*
Originally, Tang Xi wanted her to test Xiao Linye’s attitude. But she, well, went straight up and asked...
Ye Yuning typed back: *Then what should I do now?*
Tang Xi replied instantly: *Just lay low!
Ye Yuning stared at the message. Lay low! But how long can she lay low? The problem is, she doesn’t have much time left to do so. She’s really going to go crazy!
She quickly typed again: *Next month, at the birthday banquet, he wants to take me back to the Xiao Family. Xiao Shuo and Qin Jinchuan will definitely be there.*
Tang Xi sent back a single: *...*
That... Tang Xi couldn’t think of anything to say to that.
Ye Yuning messaged frantically: *So, what should I do? There aren’t many days left, you know?!*
Thinking about this, Ye Yuning felt like crying. What on earth was all this about?
Tang Xi’s next message was blunt: *You’re really screwed. Just wait to die!*
Returning to the Xiao family’s old estate was something she couldn’t refuse. But if she went, it would surely be a disaster.
Ye Yuning quickly typed: *Can I refuse? Is there a good reason?*
Tang Xi shot back: *There is!*
Ye Yuning: *What reason?*
Right now, she just wanted a good reason not to go on that day.
Tang Xi’s answer was brutal: *Unless you’re dead that day!*
Ye Yuning winced. Could Tang Xi please not be so venomous? But Tang Xi was right. Xiao Linye had taken the initiative to bring her to the Xiao Family, and she simply had no way to refuse. It was such a headache! What on earth should she do now?
She wanted to ask Tang Xi more, but suddenly the door lock turned. CLICK. Xiao Linye came in.
Ye Yuning almost subconsciously hid her phone under the covers out of guilt.
She poked her head out. "Are you done with work?"
Xiao Linye looked at her, his face full of tenderness. "Haven’t slept yet?"
"Waiting... waiting for you," she blurted out, a random excuse.
Yet this very excuse instantly brightened Xiao Linye’s eyes.
They had both taken a shower shortly after dinner.
At this moment, Xiao Linye was wearing pajamas.
Hearing her say she was waiting for him, he almost hurriedly took off his clothes, got into bed, and pulled her into his arms.
His kiss pressed down!
"Mmm, don’t...!" Ye Yuning protested.
"Weren’t you waiting for me?" Xiao Linye caught her flailing hand, his magnetic voice particularly seductive in the dim atmosphere.
"But I wasn’t waiting for *this*! Aren’t you tired at all?!" Ye Yuning exclaimed.
This man’s energy was simply overwhelming!
But right now, Ye Yuning dared not let him continue like this; her body had just stabilized, and she was still on medication to prevent a miscarriage.
However, Xiao Linye dominantly secured her hands above her head.
"Not tired!" he murmured, gently kissing her small nose. The tenderness in his pampering gaze was utterly captivating.
Ye Yuning said pitifully, "But... but I’m tired. I’m really tired today."
"What did you do today?"
"My boss is preparing to open a branch office, and I’ve been busy all day. I’m really, really tired."
She sounded so pitiable, and under the dim light, her eyes held a trace of moisture.
Such a sight only made him want to devour her completely!
