Ye Yuning was somewhat unhappy during the meal, but at the same time, she didn’t dare show it too obviously. She wondered how she could avoid going to Xiao Corporation. But Xiao Linye’s resolute attitude, coupled with the guilt in her heart from deceiving him, made it difficult for her to voice any objections. When the man came out after his shower, Ye Yuning asked, "Will my going to Xiao Corporation really not affect you?" "It won’t, as long as you fully demonstrate your talent!" Ye Yuning was at a loss for words. Fully demonstrate her talent, huh? He had actually recognized her talent from a design that was kindergarten-level. How had she not seen it herself? Ye Yuning felt an unprecedented headache, a sense that she might be doomed! Her sighing and lamenting continued until bedtime. She subconsciously tried to retreat to the secondary bedroom, but Xiao Linye caught her and took her to the master bedroom. Ever since they had become intimate, he had naturally started to assume they were a real married couple. Plus, they had shared a room at Nanjia Peak! Now that they were back, there was no way he would let her sleep separately. As Xiao Linye tucked her into the quilt, Ye Yuning finally managed to gather her wits. "You know I’m a restless sleeper, right?" Xiao Linye replied, "It’s fine. I can tolerate it." Ye Yuning was speechless. What could she say when he put it like that? Given Xiao Linye’s outwardly gentle but actually domineering personality, she knew saying more now would be useless. Ultimately, she obediently snuggled into the quilt. This man really knew how to enjoy life; the bed in the master bedroom was clearly much more comfortable than the one in the secondary bedroom. And this quilt was so comfortable, carrying the man’s distinct, crisp scent. While Ye Yuning was awake, she could still keep to her side. But in the dead of night, whether it was because the temperature difference made her cold or because she was truly restless... she crossed the invisible line separating them and snuggled right into Xiao Linye’s arms, curling into a ball. Xiao Linye was awakened by her movements and narrowed his eyes, looking at the small figure in his arms. The atmosphere around him changed noticeably; he felt a little hot. Ye Yuning looked refreshed and energetic, clearly having slept very well. Xiao Linye had breakfast ready; there were steamed dumplings this morning. Ye Yuning’s mouth watered at the sight. "These look so delicious!" Yesterday, because of what Xiao Linye had suddenly said, she had lost her appetite for the rest of the meal. Now, after a night’s sleep, she was back to her usual carefree self. Xiao Linye said, "If you like them, eat more." Ye Yuning nodded. "Mm-hm. About what you said, about me going to work at Xiao Corporation tomorrow... were you serious?" Ye Yuning asked, "Then, can you really make that decision? You’re just a manager in the business department. I don’t want to cause you any trouble." Xiao Linye stated, "Your office will be arranged today." Ye Yuning was stunned. So this was really happening! He wasn’t giving her any chance to refuse at all. So, she really had to go to Xiao Corporation to work tomorrow? But how could she possibly do that? She had been seen around Xiao Corporation from time to time recently, and quite a few people there knew her. Especially Lai Shuo and Xiao Shuo—that went without saying. If she went to Xiao Corporation, she might expose everything. Ye Yuning said worriedly, "I don’t think you should rush this. I still need a month for my handover." She was desperately trying to buy time. However, her attempt to stall was completely shut down by Xiao Linye’s casual remark, "What kind of handover does someone who just does odd jobs need?" Ye Yuning grew anxious. "No, you can’t put it like that! Even if I just do odd jobs, my work involves many things, and a handover definitely needs time." So, was it because she was just doing odd jobs that he was so insistent on her going to Xiao Corporation, to give her a better future? She was somewhat touched, but at the same time, she felt she couldn’t accept Xiao Linye’s consideration for her. What on earth was she thinking back then? Why did she have to deceive this man? She had originally wanted to make a clean break with Xiao Corporation as soon as possible. But now, she was being forced to go there. Seeing her conflicted expression, Xiao Linye asked, "Do you want me to go help you with the handover?" Him, help with the handover? Wasn’t that the same as what he threatened last night? If he didn’t see her tomorrow, he would go to Manlang to demand her. Ye Yuning’s mind went completely blank! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 Given Xiao Linye’s current determined attitude, if she didn’t go to Xiao Corporation tomorrow, he would definitely go to Manlang to get her. What on earth was she going to do?! Xiao Linye said, "Hurry up and eat. I’ll drive you after." "No, no need for you to drive me." Ye Yuning refused, her expression listless. She was in a terrible mood and wished she could get away from Xiao Linye immediately. This man was simply too much trouble! Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "Why not?" Ye Yuning said, "I have to run some errands for my boss later." Hearing that she had errands to run for her boss, the tension in Xiao Linye’s expression eased slightly. He nodded. "Want to use the car?" It was raining outside; he was undoubtedly being considerate of her. Ye Yuning, however, didn’t quite register his consideration, shaking her head. "No, it’s not necessary, I...!" "The car keys are at the entrance. You know how to drive, don’t you?" "Yes!" Ye Yuning nodded. This man was truly extraordinarily assertive. Once he said something, it was nearly impossible to refute. Ye Yuning felt a bitter taste in her mouth, even more worried about what she would do tomorrow!
