Ye Yuning was so dizzy with anger from the words of Qin Jinchuan’s assistant, Ji Nan, that she had no mind to care who Xiao Linye was calling.
Coincidence or not, in her daze of fury, she simply didn’t have the mental energy to overanalyze!
She wasn’t disregarding Qin Jinchuan’s threats. Instead, she was stubbornly determined to ignore them.
She grabbed her clothes and went to take a shower. Content orıginally comes from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
By the time she came out, Xiao Linye had also hung up the phone.
Seeing her with wet hair, Xiao Linye turned around to find a hairdryer, signaling her to sit down on the sofa, "Come here."
Yuning sulked her way over.
She was clearly very upset by Qin Jinchuan, and even a hot shower couldn’t wash away her anger.
As Xiao Linye dried her hair, he noticed she was in a bad mood and asked, "Are you so unhappy about not being allowed back to Manlang?"
Ye Yuning snapped back to reality upon hearing this.
She nodded meekly. "Working at Manlang, the atmosphere is pretty good."
It wasn’t that she was praising herself.Her subordinates, for example, arrived and left work on time every day and never brought their emotions into it. She firmly believed this relaxed state was only possible because of her competent management.That kind of work atmosphere was definitely not something his Xiao Corporation could compare to!
Thinking of the Xiao Corporation, even a finance department employee there acted all high and mighty for no reason! They were all just workers, so why did some have such an inexplicable sense of superiority?Well, perhaps having that superiority complex wasn’t so strange. After all, the Xiao Corporation was the largest enterprise in Upper City, and their hiring standards were extremely stringent.Those who managed to get in probably did feel a bit superior!But what was the deal with using that superiority to step on others and make the work atmosphere so tense? It was truly annoying!
In short, after just one day working there, Ye Yuning was thoroughly fed up with the atmosphere.
Once her hair was dry, Xiao Linye turned off the dryer and used a comb to smooth her hair.
Without continuing the previous topic, Xiao Linye suddenly said, "You can go back."
Ye Yuning, who had been feeling lethargic, suddenly lit up with energy upon hearing Xiao Linye’s words.
She whipped her head back to look at the tall man who seemed to envelop her. "You agreed?"
"Yes, I agreed. But it also depends on whether your boss has what it takes to escape Qin Jinchuan’s grasp this time!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning’s eyelids twitched violently.
"You were on the phone in the study with that idiot? I thought you didn’t know him?"
Heavens, please don’t tell me this man just lied.If he knows Qin Jinchuan, what on earth would that mean...?
Xiao Linye put away the hairdryer. Since his back was turned to her, she couldn’t see his expression.
He merely said indifferently, "I don’t know him. But we are quite concerned about Nanjia Peak right now, so Kang Xuan is paying close attention to Manlang."
Hearing this, Ye Yuning breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
It was good they didn’t know each other. If they did, it would be simply too surreal.As Tang Xi would say, working in the same company as her former fiancé and current husband was already a battlefield!If her current husband also knew the Qin idiot she almost married, that would be even more...!If that were really the case, she wouldn’t believe fate wasn’t playing tricks on her.
But on second thought, even though Qin Jinchuan was the Qin Family’s eldest son, he used to be an idiot.Considering their statuses and other factors, Xiao Linye probably wouldn’t have had any dealings with him.
"So that’s how it is." Ye Yuning nodded.
It was right for them to be concerned!
No matter what, she was currently just a design assistant brought into the design department by Xiao Linye. It was natural for him not to have complete confidence in her, and Yuning wasn’t offended by this.
Then, probing, she asked, "Did Kang Xuan mention how Qin Jinchuan plans to retaliate against our boss?"
"Many projects related to your studio seem to have been acquired by him."
Many...?Could it be that beyond Blue Island and Xifeng, there were other projects she wasn’t aware of?
She knew that Qin Jinchuan had already threatened her, saying he would go after Gongshan, a major project for their company.
That bastard, always targeting the studio’s more significant projects.
"It’s okay, our boss will handle it," Ye Yuning said resentfully.
Listening to her suddenly dispirited tone, Xiao Linye scooped her off the sofa. "You have that much confidence in her?"
"Of course. I’ve been with her for so many years; I trust her abilities."
"I’d advise you not to be too confident this time. And tell her not to rely on her old rogue tactics."
Rogue tactics?Is this what he thinks of me?Alright. Ever since the studio and the Xiao Corporation had conflicts, she and her boss had always firmly stood by their respective sides.
"MPH! What are you doing? Let me go!" The moment Ye Yuning was placed on the bed, she instinctively wanted to escape.
Her mind in turmoil from Qin Jinchuan’s retaliation, she simply couldn’t get into the mood.
However, Xiao Linye didn’t give her a chance to flee, grabbing her slender ankles and pulling her beneath him.
Caught between resistance and the pull of Magic Power, Yuning ultimately succumbed to the latter...
