Feeling Xiao Linye’s probing gaze, Ye Yuning quickly composed her expression. But she couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart—perversely spicy, the kind of chili that requires gloves just to pick! This is a bit despicable! But who asked Qin Jinchuan to retaliate against me so indiscriminately? I definitely have to teach him a lesson. Just then, she heard Xiao Linye utter the word "hospital"! Xiao Linye asked, "Is it that serious? He’s actually in the hospital?" Ye Yuning was speechless. The hospital is good; indeed, nothing went unexpectedly. I knew Junjun was always reliable! It would be best if that guy who deserves divine retribution could stay in the hospital for a month! She didn’t know what was said on the other end, but Xiao Linye subconsciously glanced at Ye Yuning again. "You think the owner of Manlang did it?" Ye Yuning froze. What the hell? No way, Qin Jinchuan this...! Before she could sort out her thoughts, Xiao Linye had already hung up and looked at Ye Yuning, saying, "Your boss is finished this time." All her excitement felt as if it had been doused with a bucket of cold water. Ye Yuning’s lips twitched as she looked at Xiao Linye. Xiao Linye sat down, picked up the water cup in front of him, took a sip, and didn’t elaborate. Ye Yuning, however, couldn’t wait. She anxiously sat down beside Xiao Linye, clutching his arm. "How is she finished?" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Xiao Linye lowered his gaze, looking at her clinging to him like a little kitten, a flash of tenderness in his eyes. He naturally took her small hand, cradling it in his palm. Her hand was soft and smooth, not at all like that of someone who did odd jobs. He sighed. "Does your boss have a grudge against the current Sect Leader of the Qin Family?" "Are you talking about that fool from the Qin Family?" Ye Yuning feigned ignorance. Xiao Linye nodded. "Mhm." Ye Yuning replied, "I suppose so. She almost married that fool and had a huge falling out with the Ye Family. What’s wrong? Is the Qin Family trying to retaliate against her again?" Ultimately, I had oversimplified things. Seeing the Qin Family relentlessly targeting the Ye Family, with no sign of them bothering with me... I actually thought the Qin Family wouldn’t retaliate against me! It seems I really overestimated the Qin Family’s magnanimity. Xiao Linye gently caressed her fine, smooth fingertips. "Your boss has gotten into big trouble this time. If this isn’t handled well, her Manlang might not be saved." Ye Yuning was shocked. His words made my heart pound. Xiao Linye stroked her small head, pulling her into his embrace and gently holding her. "Just focus on your work at Xiao’s company. You most likely won’t be able to go back to Manlang." He also didn’t approve of her returning to Manlang. Hearing what Qin Jinchuan had said, he felt even more strongly that this woman was exceptionally malicious. He worried that such a wicked woman would lead this little innocent astray! Hearing this, Ye Yuning panicked and immediately straightened up. "No, that’s not okay!" The mere thought of having to work properly at Xiao’s company made her whole being go numb. She was currently trying everything to leave Xiao’s company. If she didn’t leave soon, she was worried something terrible would happen. In such a situation, how could she possibly be willing to stay at Manlang? Seeing her resistant expression, Xiao Linye frowned. "Why not?" "It just won’t do!" Ye Yuning said, her voice laced with tears. Xiao Linye was silent. Before he could speak, Ye Yuning quickly continued, "Is that fool really so vicious? And do you know him, that fool?" Ye Yuning blurted out the questions. Xiao Linye’s eyelids twitched upon hearing this, and he then said, "I don’t know him." Ye Yuning was puzzled. "Then how do you know he’s going after Manlang?" "Kang Xuan just called. He said your boss was the one who put the Qin Family’s eldest son in the hospital!" Xiao Linye emphasized the word "put" particularly heavily, making it clear just how malicious he considered Manlang’s owner to be. Ye Yuning was speechless again. If hearing that Qin Jinchuan was hospitalized made me ecstatic earlier, then now I... ! "How would the Qin Family’s eldest son know it was our boss who did it to him? Our boss isn’t that kind of person!" As she said "not that kind of person," even she felt a pang of guilt. Her methods of getting even were quite something; if anyone truly angered her, they’d better pray she didn’t get an opportunity. Once she got the chance, she would definitely vent her frustration. If anyone was to blame, it was Qin Jinchuan for choosing today of all days to go to Huijian for hot pot!! Xiao Linye said, "The Qin Family’s eldest son went to Huijian for hot pot today. That hot pot restaurant is opened by a friend of your boss." Damn, he even figured this out? He is, after all, the eldest son of the Qin Family. To have feigned foolishness and laid low for so many years, his mind is truly not simple at all. Indeed, he’s not like Xiao Shuo, that naive fool who gets tricked and can’t even find the culprit. This Qin Jinchuan... he actually managed to trace it back to me in such a short time...!! As she was thinking this, Ye Yuning’s phone vibrated. It was a call from Yan Jun. She didn’t bother saying anything more to Xiao Linye, stood up, and said, "I need to take this call." Without waiting for him to respond, she quickly slipped into her room.
