Kang Xuan shook his head. "I’m not sure about the specifics. Manager Zhang mentioned it was around the time people get off work."
Around the time people get off work?
Xiao Linye glanced at his watch; it was now 7:30 PM.
Does that mean Ye Yuning had an incident right at the company entrance when she got off work? And she didn’t call me?
As he recalled the emotionally charged phone call from her after work, Xiao Linye’s head began to ache.
This girl, was she really so reluctant to work at the Xiao Corporation? Get full chapters from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Inside the elevator, Kang Xuan, seeing Xiao Linye’s tense expression, cautiously asked, "Could it really be your wife?"
Kang Xuan voiced the day’s lingering doubt. She had been bundled up so tightly that he hadn’t even recognized her.
Xiao Linye shot him a look!
It was this look that made Kang Xuan instantly understand.
Without answering directly, Xiao Linye said in a heavy voice, "From now on, pretend you know nothing."
What kind of emotional game was his boss playing?
Hadn’t he said before that he didn’t want his wife to know his real identity? And now he’d brought her right under his nose?
To think that, even now, his wife still believed her husband was just an ordinary office worker who drove a Passat.
Kang Xuan couldn’t understand why his boss was doing this. Could it be that he, too, yearned for true love?
But what if his wife genuinely was someone who saw money as worthless? Wouldn’t that cause a huge upset?
As soon as Xiao Linye stepped out of the elevator, he called Ye Yuning.
At this moment, Ye Yuning had just bicycled to the entrance of Shanyu Pavilion.
Hearing her phone vibrate, she took it out and answered, "Hello."
"Where are you?" Xiao Linye asked.
"Just got home," Ye Yuning replied.
"You got off work at six, and you’re only getting home now?" Xiao Linye’s tone clearly showed some displeasure.
This displeasure made Ye Yuning, who had been fuming just a moment ago, suddenly feel terribly wronged.
Taking a sharp breath, she retorted, "What? You think I should have stayed to work overtime too?"
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Linye was taken aback by Ye Yuning’s sudden outburst.
He hadn’t even criticized her yet, and she was already angry?
Could it be that she didn’t call him about the incident at the company entrance because she was worried he was working overtime?
Xiao Linye, who had been anxious, felt a weight lift from his heart upon hearing that she was okay.
His emotional tone softened. "How did you get back?"
"I’ll be home soon. What do you want to eat?"
Once the topic switched to food, Ye Yuning felt herself getting hungry.
It had to be said, Xiao Linye had a good grasp on her particularities.
Nothing could soothe Ye Yuning’s anger like a good meal!
"Octopus balls!" Ye Yuning declared.
During her time with Xiao Linye, their meals had always been rather formal.
It had been a long time since she’d had any of these various snacks.
Of course, Xiao Linye wouldn’t know how to make these.
"You haven’t gone inside yet, have you?"
"Um, I just got to the gate." The thought of the 100,000 yuan she had been duped out of made Ye Yuning angry all over again.
Right now, she was seething at Qin Jinchuan.
"Then wait for me a few minutes," Xiao Linye said. "I’ll be there soon; I’m already driving."
Hearing that Xiao Linye was driving, Ye Yuning, who had been about to go inside, turned back to the roadside.
The call ended, and Ye Yuning sat on a stone sphere, trying to sort through her recent turbulent life.
It had to be said, her life had truly been chaotic lately!
Working at the same company as her current husband and ex-fiancé was already an Asura-grade mess.
Now, Qin Jinchuan, the man she had almost married, was no longer a fool and was even taking revenge on her!
Tang Xi’s call came through, interrupting her thoughts.
Ye Yuning answered, "Xi Xi, I feel like my life is so chaotic."
"Why such a sudden lament? Come out for a drink!"
Ye Yuning fell silent.
With her current status as a married woman, could she just go out for drinks whenever she pleased?
"Where are you?" Ye Yuning instinctively asked.
"I haven’t left yet," Tang Xi said. "How about I come pick you up?"
"No need, I’m not going!"
Her refusal was very firm, and Tang Xi on the other end couldn’t help but TSK TSK.
"Well, well, marriage really does change people, huh."
Ye Yuning fell silent. This woman, still teasing me!
"So, tell me about that lament from earlier. Why are you suddenly feeling this way?"
"It’s a long story," Ye Yuning said. "I’ll tell you about it later."
Xiao Linye would be arriving soon; there wouldn’t be time to explain everything to Tang Xi now.
However, Tang Xi seemed to know everything.
Her tone suddenly turned serious. "It’s because of the Qin Family’s eldest son, isn’t it?"
"You know?" Ye Yuning was shocked.
Tang Xi chuckled. "The reports came out this afternoon. Didn’t you know?"
"The reports about the Qin Family’s eldest son successfully taking over the Qin Corporation! Qin Jinchuan is now the CEO of the Qin Corporation."
That fool had now made waves throughout Upper City.
And Ye Yuning, who had almost married him, knew nothing at all.
What did she know besides design, day in and day out?
"...! I really didn’t know!" Ye Yuning exclaimed.
So, it had already spread throughout all of Upper City. Yet, she had remained in the dark until Qin Jinchuan came knocking with his revenge. Only then did she find out he had taken over the Qin Corporation.
