Xiao Linye had to be hers, and must be hers! Even if, after the incident, Xiao Linye found out about her relationship with Xiao Shuo, he wouldn’t marry her. But as long as she had that connection with him, her status in the Ye Family would also be securely established. Thinking this, Ye Tong became even more determined to win Xiao Linye over. She absolutely couldn’t let Zheng Siyu have him! When she got home, there wasn’t a single person around, because the whole day was to be spent over at the Ye Family’s place. Therefore, not a single servant was left behind. Ye Tong went straight to Zheng Siyu’s room. Seeing the furnishings inside, her discontent, which had been simmering all along, now surged to its peak. Who exactly is the real daughter here? Zheng Siyu’s room was bigger than hers, and all the furniture was of superior quality. She opened the wardrobe. Inside was a dazzling array, stuffed with all kinds of designer brands. Ye Tong took several deep breaths to barely suppress the suffocating tightness in her chest. Seeing the dress Zheng Cai had prepared for Zheng Siyu, jealousy flashed wildly in Ye Tong’s eyes. She snatched the dress out! The texture felt so good in her hand. Although it wasn’t as fine as the dress she had worn to the Bugelang Exhibition, this one was definitely top-notch as well. Ye Tong immediately changed into it! When she had seen Zheng Siyu wearing it that day, it looked incredibly beautiful, and Ye Tong had wished she could have ripped it right off her on the spot. However, now that it was on her, her expression turned utterly grim. She didn’t suit this kind of pure white. It looked so beautiful on Zheng Siyu, but on her, it was just... awful! Already furious, and now seeing how beautiful it looked on Zheng Siyu and how utterly mismatched it appeared on herself, Ye Tong angrily ripped it off. In her rage, she even tore the zipper slightly, but she didn’t notice at all. Ye Yuning was engrossed in designing in her locked room. Xiao Linye, thinking she was sulking, cut some fruit and knocked on her door. Ye Yuning opened the door, peeking out with just her head. "What is it?" Her tone was calm enough, but her posture clearly showed she was wary of him. Xiao Linye’s eyes darkened. "Come out and have some fruit." He turned, holding the fruit plate, and placed it on the coffee table. Ye Yuning instinctively replied, "I don’t want any." She wanted to go out and have fun with Xiao Linye, so her work had to progress stealthily. Not a single moment could be wasted. Xiao Linye turned back to look at her. "I’ll go to the study now." Ye Yuning was speechless. Huh? What did that mean? Xiao Linye had already sensed it. During meals, this girl kept her distance from him. She acted as if she were afraid he would devour her. Was he really that depraved? Ye Yuning looked at him, conflicted. Xiao Linye asked, "Are you going to apply the medicine yourself, or shall I help you?" He said it with a perfectly straight face. Ye Yuning’s face instantly flushed crimson. She knew perfectly well where Xiao Linye meant for the medicine to be applied. How could this man say such things without batting an eyelid? "I, I’ll do it myself!" Compared to Xiao Linye’s composure, Ye Yuning’s tone was glaringly unnatural. Xiao Linye nodded. "Can you reach it?" Ye Yuning was silent, her breathing growing heavier. This man was really...! Xiao Linye said, "I’ll help you apply it. Go take a shower first." "I... I really can do it myself." It was out of the question! How could she let him do such a thing! However, Xiao Linye seemed not to have heard her, his tone hardening. "Or should I help you bathe?" "No, that’s not... I mean..." Was what she said so hard to understand? She had made herself perfectly clear! She wanted to do it herself, apply the medicine herself! WAH! Xiao Linye said, "If you don’t apply medicine properly to a place like that, it can easily get infected. Be good now, hurry up and go." "I... I can’t!" Ye Yuning shook her head. Everything that had happened before occurred when she wasn’t clear-headed. But now that she was lucid, how could she possibly be so composed about it? She simply couldn’t. Xiao Linye remained silent. The man watched her without a word, his stance clearly unyielding. Ye Yuning conceded, "Well... alright then!" Under his insistent gaze, she didn’t dare argue further. If he were to insist on forcibly bathing her, she would truly wish for the earth to swallow her whole. Xiao Linye said, "Go on." Ye Yuning turned, went back into her room, and bolted the door. Apply medicine? Apply what darn medicine! She wasn’t going to apply any medicine! And so, Xiao Linye waited for a full hour, but Ye Yuning’s door remained closed. Xiao Linye had studied medicine for a period in the past. He naturally knew the consequences of not applying medicine properly in such a situation. Done wasting words with Ye Yuning, he found the key and directly opened her door. Ye Yuning, who was frantically working inside, heard the sound and looked up to see the man standing at the door. At that moment, her mind went completely blank with a BUZZ!
