Uncle Zhong said, "The Seventh Young Master has returned and explained everything. The Third Young Master should stop overthinking things from now on." Blood felt as if it were surging backward from the soles of his feet! What did that mean? Did Uncle Seven explain everything? How did he explain it? Did he deny his relationship with Ye Yuning? Of course, Uncle Seven must have denied it; after all, Ye Yuning is his fiancée! So, if he denied it, would Grandfather believe him? The more Xiao Shuo thought about Grandfather actually believing him, the more he trembled with anger, completely forgetting his fear of Xiao Linye. "I really saw them dining together, and Uncle Seven even defended that woman in front of me!" Uncle Zhong replied, "Third Young Master, the Seventh Young Master has his reasons for everything he does. You really should stop overthinking." Hearing Uncle Zhong’s words, Xiao Shuo felt an even deeper chill run through him. He had spoken so plainly, yet Uncle Zhong still used such words to shut him down. So, Uncle Seven didn’t go back to deny it, but actually explained everything to Grandfather? Regarding his relationship with Ye Yuning, how exactly did he explain it? Was his explanation clear? Would Grandfather accept it? Countless questions swirled in Xiao Shuo’s mind. In the end, they all pointed to one outcome: Xiao Linye had left the Xiao Family unscathed. And Grandfather hadn’t erupted in fury. So the outcome he had anticipated all night had simply fizzled into nothing!? Before he could say another word, Butler Zhong on the other end of the line had hung up, showing no intention of listening further. Listening to the BEEP BEEP sound from the phone, Xiao Shuo was so angry he nearly smashed it. That enchantress...! How is she so capable? What on earth did Uncle Seven say to persuade Grandfather? If Grandfather also accepts Uncle Seven being with her, what would his friends say about him when he goes out? Was he being cuckolded by his own Uncle Seven? At this thought, Xiao Shuo’s mind reeled. Wait, hadn’t his father mentioned that Uncle Seven had quietly gotten married? And that Grandfather thoroughly disliked this new Seventh Aunt? Could it be that Grandfather, because he dislikes Seventh Aunt, is allowing that enchantress Ye Yuning to destroy Uncle Seven’s marriage with Seventh Aunt? His mind was a complete mess. But no matter how chaotic his thoughts became, one thing remained unchanged: he might have been cuckolded by his own Uncle Seven!! Meanwhile, Xiao Linye had returned to Shanyu Pavilion, where Ye Yuning was still busy in the study. Seeing him push the door open and enter, Ye Yuning continued her work without pause. "You’re back?" Xiao Linye nodded. "Working so hard?" As he spoke, he moved to stand behind her. As a layman, Xiao Linye naturally couldn’t appreciate the intricacies of design sketches. All he saw was a dense mass of lines! "I want to finish it quickly," Ye Yuning said. Finish it quickly? Does she want to go back to work at Manlang sooner? He was somewhat displeased but didn’t let it show. He was just surprised that even after he’d described how dire the situation at Manlang was, she hadn’t given up the idea of returning. "You really don’t want to stay at Xiao Corporation?" "I’m afraid of affecting you," Ye Yuning said helplessly. When she first joined Xiao Corporation, she only wanted to help him quickly complete the Nanjia Peak design. After everything she had experienced since joining, coupled with Qin Jinchuan’s current retaliation against her, she felt more and more that her influence on Xiao Linye was pervasive. Right now, it was best for them to maintain as much public distance as possible. Xiao Linye had initially been displeased by her insistence on returning to Manlang, but his heart instantly warmed when he heard her say this. "You won’t affect me," he said softly. Ye Yuning chuckled. "I’m well aware of whether I’ll affect you or not. And you shouldn’t be too confident in your Seventh Master." What kind of person Seventh Master Xiao was—even though she hadn’t actually met that persona—she knew it all too well in her heart. This girl! It was like having to swallow a bitter pill in silence. "It’s late. Sleep." Xiao Linye reached out, saved her draft, and then shut down the computer. His domineering tone clearly carried a hint of displeasure. And that displeasure completely vanished after they went to bed together... Xiao Shuo spent the entire night at the company. He had originally planned to work overtime. However, after he eventually calmed down, he was too agitated and on edge to focus on work at all. When Yang Jing came in and saw he had accomplished nothing the previous night, she was so irritated she wanted to curse! "Go explain it to the Seventh Master yourself," she snapped. She really didn’t want to deal with him anymore. Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽 What kind of idiot was this? Utterly unteachable.
