She had personally witnessed Ye Shilong fire a company executive who had accepted bribes. Xiao Linye was the manager of the Business Department; those people scheming against him probably wanted to use his position to cut corners.
It seemed like bribery, but in reality, they wanted to gain some leverage over him!
Xiao Linye said, "Don’t worry, it won’t happen!"
"Hmm, where are we now?"
"This is a house the company provided some time ago. I’m not too keen on living here."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning gasped, looking around at the layout and furnishings of the house.
The houses the company provides for its executives are all this nice? She once again witnessed the extravagance of the Xiao Enterprise.
She had been too naive in the past!
"Shall we go eat?" Xiao Linye asked her.
He had originally wanted to cook here. But having finally found an explanation and an excuse, he ultimately suppressed the urge to head to the kitchen.
Speaking of going out to eat, Ye Yuning looked at him with even more resentment in her eyes, "You’ve torn my clothes."
He was dressed impeccably, while she couldn’t even leave the house . What was even more infuriating was that last night, in the cramped space and without any light, she hadn’t even gotten a clear look at his physique. She felt so ripped off! Although he had just said he wanted a next time, how could a next time happen so matter-of-factly? The more she thought about it, the more Ye Yuning felt she’d been shortchanged!
"Rest assured, everything has been prepared for you."
"My underwear is ruined too."
"Mm, I bought everything!"
What a demanding little princess, he thought.
Seeing that the man had arranged everything so well, Ye Yuning finally stopped complaining.
She harbored no undue suspicion about Xiao Linye taking her to Shangyuan last night.
The two of them tidied themselves up and left the house.
For the first time, Ye Yuning realized that those things written about in books actually existed. When a man got wild, he really could make you unable to leave the bed for three days.
Looking at the man opposite her, who was full of vigor, she felt that after eating, she should go straight back to Shanyu Pavilion. There was no way she could go to work.
Xiao Linye saw her picking at her food with a listless expression. "Not to your taste?"
Aside from the time she had a toothache, this was the first time Ye Yuning hadn’t felt like eating. Usually, her appetite was very good, even hearty; sometimes Xiao Linye wondered where she managed to put all the food she consumed.
Ye Yuning shook her head. "No, it’s just that I’m really tired."
"Then can you take some time off?"
Speaking of taking time off, Xiao Linye remembered something: Ye Yuning hadn’t asked for leave that morning.
With that unreasonable boss of hers, he wondered if she would be given a hard time.
Ye Yuning said, "Mm, I’ll ask for leave."
She had no idea what Xiao Linye was thinking at that moment. However, her lack of reaction to not having asked for leave that morning made Xiao Linye suspicious.
After lunch, Xiao Linye sent her back to Shanyu Pavilion, while he went straight to the Xiao Enterprise.
The moment he arrived at the company, Lai Shuo looked at him with a troubled expression. Xiao Linye frowned. "What’s wrong?"
Lai Shuo hesitated. "Um, about Manlang... you’re not worried at all now, are you?"
He’s slept with their boss; he definitely isn’t worried about anything now.
At that moment, Lai Shuo even had a bold thought: Could it be that the Boss made a sacrifice for the Nanjia Peak project? But on second thought, that seems highly unlikely. With a wave of his hand, he could reduce Manlang to ashes in Upper City. How could he sacrifice his own charms for a mere project?
Lai Shuo racked his brains but couldn’t figure out how Xiao Linye had ended up entangled with Ye Yuning last night.
When Manlang was brought up, Xiao Linye had completely forgotten that Lai Shuo had also mentioned it at Shangyuan.
Truth be told, he didn’t have much trust in Manlang. There had been some friction between them in the past, after all.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go notify Manlang. Tell Boss Ye to come to the Xiao Enterprise to work on the Nanjia Peak designs."
She was supposedly in charge of the design. But if she stayed at Manlang, who knew who would actually be doing the design work behind closed doors? So, after some consideration, Xiao Linye had come up with this solution.
When Xiao Linye said this, Lai Shuo’s pupils contracted.
They just slept together last night, and today he’s already this eager to bring her to his side?! This...! He’s a married man now, isn’t he?
Lai Shuo looked at Xiao Linye, appalled.
Xiao Linye asked, "Any problem?"
Lai Shuo was speechless. No problem? When did the Boss become ?
Seeing Lai Shuo’s bewildered expression, Xiao Linye said, "Go arrange it."
Lai Shuo managed, "...Yes!"
With such arrangements, won’t his wife raise hell? Or does he think that since they just got married, she has no right to control him?! If she interferes too much, will he not even bother to explain and just divorce her directly? Thinking this, Lai Shuo mentally slapped a label on Xiao Linye... Scumbag!
Before turning to leave, he thought for a moment, then turned back. "Shall I book a divorce lawyer for you then?"
