Now with Qin Jinchuan in the picture, she couldn’t let Xiao Linye bother her right now.
So, she had to strive to complete the Nanjia Peak project!
Xiao Linye, noticing her unnatural gait, enveloped her in his arms. "You look like you’re in a lot of pain."
Ye Yuning was speechless. Her face instantly turned beet red.
This man...! Why is he doing this again? Is it really appropriate for him to speak about such things so seriously?
"I’m not in pain. Let me go, I’m going to be late," she said, her tone noticeably strained.
It was a lie to say she wasn’t in pain.
Yet Xiao Linye didn’t release her. Instead, he greedily nuzzled her neck. "Are you that afraid of being late?"
As he spoke, his tone remained normal, but his eyes turned noticeably colder.
Ye Yuning struggled lightly. "Afraid? Of course, I’m afraid! With the Xiao Corporation’s work atmosphere, even King Yama would curse Seventh Master Xiao for being such a skinflint!"
Xiao Linye was silent.
It seemed his image was utterly beyond redemption in this girl’s mind.
He stopped making things difficult for her and gently let go.
The moment Ye Yuning was free, she dashed into the bathroom to wash up. Xiao Linye didn’t go in, but he could hear her quick movements inside.
He remembered how she used to dawdle in the mornings when she worked at Manlang. Many times, he couldn’t wait and would leave the house first.
Her work experience at the Xiao Corporation these past few days clearly hadn’t been good; it had certainly made her remarkably efficient.
He turned and went into the kitchen, intending to warm up her milk and bread before she came out of her room.
Today, Ye Yuning moved faster than ever.
After changing her clothes and emerging from the room, she was greeted by the rich scent of milk and the aroma of bread.
So early in the morning, her heart was touched once again.
"Breakfast is ready. Eat before you go."
"I—I’ll eat on the way!"
Ye Yuning stepped forward, picked up the milk that hadn’t yet been placed on the table, and gulped it down. Then she grabbed two slices of bread.
Having breakfast ready for her first thing in the morning was truly blissful. The heavens must be so kind to her, for her to have found such a treasure.
Thinking of the threat Qin Jinchuan now posed, Ye Yuning felt a slight headache coming on.
Even for Xiao Linye’s sake, she had to deal with that scoundrel’s issues—and properly!
"Don’t rush. Wait for me," he said.
Xiao Linye watched her frantic behavior with a hint of helplessness—he hadn’t even changed his clothes yet.
However, Ye Yuning shook her head. "I can’t wait. I have to go first."
She really couldn’t wait.
He had been with the Xiao Corporation for five years; arriving a bit late probably wouldn’t draw any comments. But she simply couldn’t afford that.
Xiao Linye frowned. "There’s no need to rush."
"Ah, I really have to go now!"
He might not be in a hurry, but he doesn’t know how frustrating her situation in the design department is right now.
The design department consisted of just her, yet several other departments were keeping an eye on her!
For instance, the finance department and the HR department.
Xiao Linye wanted to suggest she take the car, but before he could speak, Ye Yuning had already dashed out the door.
Hearing the BANG of the door, Xiao Linye sighed in resignation once more.
He called Kang Xuan. The call was quickly answered, "Master."
"Move the finance department to another location," he ordered, his tone deep and devoid of the gentleness he displayed with Ye Yuning.
On the other end of the line, Kang Xuan was startled. "Yes, sir~!"
So, the person who gave the Young Mistress a hard time yesterday was fired, and it seems it’s not over yet~!
At this moment, Kang Xuan couldn’t help but feel that the Master seemed quite indulgent towards his wife.
It served Lai Shuo right to be transferred to the eastern region. The Master dotes on his wife so much, yet Lai Shuo actually suspected her of having an affair with the owner of Manlang...!
When Ye Yuning arrived at the company, she clocked in just in the nick of time. Follow current novᴇls on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
The elevators were somewhat crowded that morning. By the time she reached the design department, it was already 8:35 AM!
No doubt, if those who liked to arrive early—and couldn’t stand others being late—saw this, she would definitely become their topic of gossip for the entire day...
Ye Yuning had even braced herself for sarcasm and ridicule from Li Xin and Liu Ying. She had decided she wouldn’t tolerate it today and would retort directly.
However, as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Li Xin dejectedly packing her things, her eyes as red and swollen as walnuts from crying.
Yet Liu Ying, who had been Li Xin’s constant companion for the past two days, was now cowering to the side, offering no comfort.
Seeing this, Ye Yuning couldn’t help but wonder: What’s going on here?
After witnessing Li Xin’s arrogance for two days, this sudden change left Ye Yuning feeling somewhat unaccustomed.
She was even quite surprised!
While she was lost in thought, Li Xin approached her, clutching a box. "Are you satisfied now?"
Ye Yuning frowned. "Satisfied with what?"
"Ye Yuning, don’t think you can rely on Seventh Master Xiao like that. If you turn out to be another Ye Tong, I guarantee you’ll end up worse off than I am!"
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Seventh Master Xiao again...! No, what exactly had she relied on him for?! So, this one got herself fired? Like she always said, those who court death will eventually bring about their own ruin.
Before Ye Yuning could reply, Li Xin added, "I look forward to the day Seventh Master Xiao personally kicks you out of the company!"
Ye Yuning remained silent.
