My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 342 - 299: Angry_2

After the event finally ended, the staff initially intended to take Ye Lingran to the interview location, but Ye Lingran was worried about Cen Jin, so she asked the staff to go ahead, planning to get there herself later. There were still over ten minutes until the interview officially started, so there was plenty of time.After leaving the venue, Ye Lingran took out her phone, dialing Cen Jin’s number while jogging around the surroundings, looking for her figure. At this time, Cen Jin, due to needing to enter the venue earlier that morning, had already set her phone to silent mode and was completely unaware.

When she arrived at a corridor, Ye Lingran inadvertently saw two figures sitting together, side by side. Although there was half a shoulder’s distance between them, the sunlight was just right, a golden glow pouring over them. Just from looking at their backs, they really seemed quite compatible. If Cen Jin wasn’t already with Jiang Baizhou, they’d probably be together!

Ye Lingran was stunned, suddenly frightened by her own thoughts, and hurriedly shook her head. But seeing Yun Qi’s heartfelt smile towards Cen Jin, a sour feeling rose in her heart—perhaps from the very beginning, the one he liked was Cen Jin!

"Oh, you must be Nie Cenjin’s friend! Congratulations! Second place." As she was feeling sad, a familiar teasing female voice suddenly came from behind her, even the tone carrying a bit of pride and mockery.

Ye Lingran heard and immediately turned around, only to see An Yuyao looking at her arrogantly and disdainfully. Her face instantly darkened as she walked up to her: "You won first place, but whether that first place was deserved or not, only you know in your heart."

"Nonsense, what right do you have to say I’m undeserving, what do you even know?" An Yuyao paid no mind to Ye Lingran’s questioning, coldly laughed, and dismissively retorted.

"That design was obviously created by Cen Jin, yet you..."

"Oh, is it Miss Ye? You need evidence to say such things. Nie Cenjin herself withdrew from the competition, what does that have to do with me? What do you mean that design was hers? If it was, why didn’t she say so then, not even daring to come out with the design? What a joke! Now you, an outsider, come to question me? Who do you think you are?" An Yuyao interrupted her angrily, walked closer, and poked her shoulder twice, "I heard... you’re the fiancée of the CEO of Yun Group. Isn’t your second place the result of favoritism? What right do you have to question my design? I’ve been observing you these days, trying to find evidence that the Yun Group President gave you special treatment, but alas, you two haven’t interacted much these days. Are you really his fiancée?"

Ye Lingran was pushed back two steps by her poking, and upon hearing her last sentence, she couldn’t help but tremble all over, an electric shock passing through her, her lips moved, but no sound came out.

"Whether she’s my fiancée, that’s for me to decide; since when is it your business?" Amidst the quiet atmosphere, a calm yet sharp male voice suddenly sounded from behind Ye Lingran. The next moment, Ye Lingran’s hand was grabbed, and a tall figure blocked in front of her.

An Yuyao was startled for a moment upon seeing the handsome figure in front of her, her heart inexplicably tightened.

Ye Lingran also didn’t expect Yun Qi to appear suddenly. Watching his back, her heart kept pounding, lowering her gaze to her hand held tightly in his palm, her hand appearing much more slender and small compared to his.

"What is it, Miss An? Do you have any objections to my fiancée? Or do you have objections to me? Or are you questioning the fairness of this competition?" Yun Qi looked down at her, his usual gentle and elegant demeanor now filled with gloom and anger, with thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, exuding a bit of darkness and sharpness.

An Yuyao was startled by his tone, swallowing instinctively. She had just returned to the country and wasn’t very familiar with domestic matters, but since she was participating in the competition, she had done her homework online beforehand and knew the competition’s partner was Yun Group. The CEO Yun Qi was known for being decisive and swift, yet kind and exceedingly gentle. Seeing this side of him now, An Yuyao was quite frightened.

Actually, not only An Yuyao, but Ye Lingran was also taken aback; this was also the first time she witnessed Yun Qi angered!
