Lai Shuo regretted it immensely now, but Xiao Linye clearly didn’t want to listen to too many of his explanations. During his time at Nanjia Peak, he had lost control of his emotions repeatedly over matters involving Ye Yuning. For a special assistant, this meant he had already lost his basic professionalism! "Master, I truly know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I...!" "You what? Go apologize to Boss Ye again? Isn’t that humiliating?" How exactly had Lai Shuo apologized to Manlang before? Lai Shuo himself might have forgotten, but Xiao Linye certainly hadn’t. The Master thought he was humiliating? In an instant, Lai Shuo’s eyes filled with grievance. Xiao Linye: "You’re a man. Can you afford to be saying words of surrender so often?" "Then what should I do now?" That tigress was now demanding to terminate the contract. As for him, was he, according to the Master’s wishes, to do nothing? Xiao Linye: "Go to the East!" Lai Shuo: "I don’t want to go!" Xiao Linye snorted coldly. "So you’d rather kneel to that little witch?" The term ’little witch’ already revealed the extent of Xiao Linye’s extreme dissatisfaction with Ye Yuning at that moment. But at the same time, Lai Shuo felt as if no matter what he did, it was wrong! So, "Master, are you saying that my going to the East is to give that tigress an accounting?" Now, the master and servant pair both referred to Ye Yuning—one calling her a ’little witch,’ the other a ’tigress’! It was clear just how terrible her image had become in both their minds. However, when Xiao Linye heard Lai Shuo’s ’tigress,’ his expression grew even darker. He glared fiercely at him and snapped, "Haven’t you suffered enough because of her?" Lai Shuo: "I... I won’t say it anymore!" So, when it came to that tigress, only the Master himself was allowed to be dissatisfied, and he wasn’t allowed to say anything? Lai Shuo felt very annoyed. But he still couldn’t stop himself from asking resentfully, "Do I really have to go to the East?" This update ıs available on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩 "You only have two choices!" Lai Shuo: "..." The other one was to kneel to the tigress? Then forget it! He’d still choose to go to the East. But just from those few words, he also understood that the Master sending him to the East wasn’t entirely due to dissatisfaction with him. More importantly, it was about giving that tigress an accounting for now. Thinking of this, Lai Shuo felt somewhat more at ease. While handing over his tasks to Kang Xuan, Lai Shuo still couldn’t help complaining that Ye Yuning was a tigress! This couldn’t help but remind Kang Xuan of his... wife! Lai Shuo: "This tigress is all yours now. You’re on your own, good luck." Thinking about his own recent battles of wits and cunning with Ye Yuning, Lai Shuo couldn’t help but silently offer Kang Xuan three seconds of sympathy. Seeing Lai Shuo so tormented by a woman, Kang Xuan gave him a look that screamed, ’You’ve really outdone yourself,’ and asked, "Is she really that ferocious?" Lai Shuo: "Extremely! Anyway, when you work with Manager Zheng next, be careful and give way to her a bit." Lai Shuo: "If you can’t control your temper, see? I’m your cautionary tale—off to the East!" Kang Xuan: "Don’t make it sound so absurd." In Kang Xuan’s view, when it came to being formidable, who could be more so than his wife? She had almost beaten someone to death. Lai Shuo wrapped up the handover in no time and swiftly made himself scarce. Even though he was heading to that bitterly cold place in the East, as long as he didn’t have to face that tigress Ye Yuning, he was fine. Kang Xuan turned and entered Xiao Linye’s office. Xiao Linye’s expression wasn’t good; he was clearly also angered by the Manlang affair. Kang Xuan approached. "Boss Ye, is she really going to terminate the contract?" Xiao Linye: "That’s what Lai Shuo said. Go and find out the specifics of the situation." Hopefully, that tigress was just throwing a tantrum. Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind cutting her career short. Kang Xuan nodded. "Alright, I’ll go right away." "Wait until tomorrow before you go!" Going over now would really make her think the Xiao Corporation was desperate for her. Hearing Xiao Linye say this, Kang Xuan roughly understood his meaning and nodded. "Alright, I understand." No matter what, they needed to keep this tigress in suspense for a bit! 「Meanwhile, at Manlang.」 Just as Ye Yuning returned to her office, she saw Luo Xin barring Zheng Cai from entering. Zheng Cai was hopping mad. "Do you have any idea who you’re talking to? The boss here is my daughter! How dare you stop me?" Hearing her words, Luo Xin remained unfazed. She even felt a bit of disdain for Zheng Cai in her heart. So now she remembered the boss was her daughter? Who knew who it was that had been raising hell here before.Back then, she certainly hadn’t shown any consideration for their mother-daughter bond! Thinking of Zheng Cai’s previous actions here, Luo Xin became even more resolute in blocking her. "The boss said that anyone from the Ye Family is categorically forbidden entry." Zheng Cai: "You... you little wretch! Do you know you’re just a dog here?" She was now so angry she was grinding her teeth! And it was no wonder she was furious. She had come here right after lunch, yet she hadn’t even managed to get through the door. When Ye Yuning heard this insult ’dog,’ her face turned cold instantly. "Who are you calling a dog?" Just as Luo Xin was itching to retort to Zheng Cai, she saw Ye Yuning—who had said she was going to the Xiao Corporation’s office—had returned. Ye Yuning was now coldly regarding Zheng Cai.
