Xiao Linye took off his suit jacket, washed his hands, and came out.
Ye Yuning had already sat up in bed. When she moved slightly, a certain spot still throbbed terribly!
Xiao Linye furrowed his brow. "Does it hurt a lot?"
Ye Yuning glanced at him resentfully and said nothing.
Xiao Linye stepped forward and stroked her soft hair. "I’m sorry, I..."
"Don’t talk!" Ye Yuning quickly interrupted.
This man always said such earnest things that made her heart race, yet he himself seemed to think nothing of it.
Ye Yuning was broad-minded, but not *that* broad-minded.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Xiao Linye laughed.
He turned around, took out the camera, and handed it to her. "See if the photos in here are what you want. If not, I’ll take you there again."
Ye Yuning took the camera.
Going again was out of the question; she had to admit, this man was truly fierce. He had kept her in all night, ensuring she couldn’t go anywhere, and they didn’t have much time left at Nanjia Peak.
Chen Wei had just called her again, saying Lai Shuo was coming to the studio to meet her!
This Lai Shuo...Thinking of this man, Ye Yuning gritted her teeth in anger.And for that Xiao Qiye, whom she had never met, she was mentally plastering all sorts of negative labels.Though anger had simmered within her, seeing the photos Xiao Linye brought back, it was quickly extinguished.
It had to be said that Xiao Linye’s photography skills were truly excellent.
She didn’t even have to visit those places to get a good sense of the situation; he had even carefully labeled what each photo depicted.
"Mm, these photos are great. Thank you," Ye Yuning said with sincere appreciation.
The whole reason she’d come to Nanjia Peak with Xiao Linye was to see the actual situation on site.
Although she hadn’t seen many places yet, this was already a significant gain.
Xiao Linye lifted her from the bedclothes and placed her directly on his lap.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
He hadn’t made it back for lunch, and he knew Ye Yuning almost certainly hadn’t eaten anything.
"I can’t eat pork anymore!" Ye Yuning declared.
Her first reaction was that she couldn’t eat the local pork.They’d had lamb last night, so they definitely couldn’t have it again.
Xiao Linye saw her look of aversion and chuckled lightly. "How about stone pot chicken then?"
The stone pot chicken had plenty of mushrooms, which Ye Yuning adored, and being chicken, it probably wouldn’t have any strange taste.
Seeing Ye Yuning’s eager expression, the tenderness in Xiao Linye’s eyes deepened.
"How about getting dressed?"
"I’ll do it myself," Ye Yuning said.
She absolutely couldn’t let Xiao Linye touch her again now.
Despite the pain, she quickly darted into the bathroom after slipping out of Xiao Linye’s embrace.
When she came out dressed, her gait wasn’t quite as graceful as usual.
A deeper sense of guilt settled in his heart.
The stone pot chicken was delicious, especially the soup, which had been simmered until it was creamy white.
Ye Yuning took a sip. Although it didn’t taste strange, it was definitely different from what she usually drank.
"How did this soup get so white?" she couldn’t help but murmur.
Not only was it white, but it was also incredibly thick.
"I added some milk to it," Xiao Linye said.
Milk? Had she heard him right? Could milk actually be used to make soup?
"Yes, it’s milk," Xiao Linye confirmed.
This, she truly didn’t understand!She couldn’t even cook; she’d never even heard of adding milk to soup.
"Do you like it?" Xiao Linye asked.
"Yeah, I like it. The taste is very unique, and it’s not gamey."
To add milk and make the soup so delicious was truly no ordinary skill.
"Shall I make it for you next time?" Xiao Linye asked.
Hearing it was delicious, Ye Yuning naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Moreover, the chicken, surprisingly, had no strange flavor from the milk either.
Ye Yuning found the meal incredibly satisfying.
Halfway through the meal, Lai Shuo’s call came through—to her number.
Seeing the caller ID, Ye Yuning instinctively glanced at Xiao Linye opposite her. When she saw he wasn’t looking, she simply flipped her phone face down.
This Lai Shuo was truly relentless!He just had to be Qiye’s assistant. She was so frustrated she couldn’t even block his number.
Fortunately, Lai Shuo only called once and didn’t try again. But the next moment, Xiao Linye’s phone began to ring.
The instant he answered, Ye Yuning saw ’Lai Shuo’ flash on his screen.
The corner of her mouth twitched.
Anyone who didn’t know better might have thought Xiao Linye was Xiao Qiye himself, with Lai Shuo reporting to him so diligently! It was a bit much, wasn’t it?At the same time, she couldn’t help but admire Xiao Linye, this talent from Hanmen, for achieving his current position in the Xiao Corporation!
