74 -74 What’s wrong with your mouth?
So, there wasn’t much surprise to see him cooking at her place at this time, just a bit of embarrassment for having him come all this way and having to lift a finger himself.
The dishes were served, and Ye Xiaobao had already obediently washed his little hands and was sitting at the table waiting.
Seeing this, Ye Ning couldn’t help but smile, “He has never been this well-behaved during meals before, it seems he really misses the food you make.”
Then move back in and continue living with me!”
It was said casually and without much thought.
After that, there was a second of pause at the dinner table!
Move back in with him?
How could that be possible?
In the past five years, she had troubled him too much because of this child.
Now that she had finally moved out, how could she go back and disturb him again?
Ye Ning avoided his direct gaze and ladled a bowl of soup for him, “You’ll get used to it eventually.
When he’s a bit older, it’ll get easier.
By the way, Lin Big Brother, what brought you here today?”
Lin Yebai saw her divert her gaze, his own pausing slightly before shifting elsewhere.
His expression remained light and indifferent.
But now, as she avoided him, her beautiful and fair face bowed down, a trace of exhaustion seemed to seep through, and her lips, for some reason, appeared to be bruised and swollen.
Could something have gone wrong on her first day at work?
Thinking of the man known for being cold-blooded and ruthless, his fingers holding the chopsticks turned bluish: “What happened to your mouth?”
Ye Ning was startled and immediately touched the injured area, “It’s nothing.
I was moving something today and accidentally hit myself.”
“You just happened to hit your mouth?”
“Yes, because… it was a cup!” Ye Ning’s excuse wasn’t well thought out, mainly because she had never expected him to come over suddenly.
After the excuse, silence fell over the dinner table for a while.
Ye Xiaobao, seeing the two suddenly silent, blinked his grape-like eyes: “Mom, you’re lying, right?
You obviously bumped yourself, you got hurt before!”
Suddenly, she feigned an awkward expression and looked towards the man beside her: “Lin Big Brother, you…
don’t listen to him, he’s talking nonsense.”
Lin Yebai quietly looked at her, not saying a word…
As for how it happened, he didn’t need her to explain anything; he could already see for himself.
Because he himself had once caused someone to look like that, even more severely than her.
However, since she didn’t want to talk about it, he would let her be.
It looked like he would have to investigate what was going on…
“Be more careful at work in the future.
I came today because I heard from Xiaoyu yesterday that you were hired by the Ou Family, so I came to check on you.
How did you feel about working there today?”
Ye Ning didn’t notice the fleeting chill in his eyes when he asked about her going to the Ou Family.
As soon as she heard his question, she put down her chopsticks: “It was fine, but there was a rather unexpected gain today.”
“The second branch of the Ou Family seems to have handed over the supply chain for Dragon-Phoenix Jewelry to Ou Mucen, and, I also heard that Yang Xueshan, discontent, intends to sabotage the supply.” Ye Ning held nothing back from him, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she revealed all the information she had learned.
