Ye Yuning had no idea what Xiao Shuo was going through right now. She was even more clueless that what Xiao Shuo said about her and Xiao Linye being together was all true! She had been busy all morning, and it was almost noon when she received a call from Chen Wei. "Boss~!" Hearing Chen Wei’s voice made Ye Yuning shiver. Truth be told, she didn’t want to go. In the past, when dealing with pesky collaborators, she always had her own ways to handle them. But this time, Qin Jinchuan was different; he was out for revenge against her. Now, she had to go, whether she liked it or not! Thinking about it made Ye Yuning’s head ache. "Where is the meeting?" Ye Yuning asked coldly. "Ji Nan called," Chen Wei said. "He said for you to go directly to Huijian." Ye Yuning was speechless. She immediately had a bad feeling. Thinking of how she had Yan Jun make Qin Jinchuan eat food so spicy he ended up in the hospital, was he planning to pay her back in the same way? Why did she feel like that idiot was even worse than Xiao Shuo, the second-generation rich heir? Massaging her aching temples, she said, "Fine, I got it." "Do you want me to go with you?" asked Chen Wei. Actually, she was worried about Ye Yuning going alone. Chen Wei knew all too well how Ye Yuning had previously handled such difficult people. "No need," Ye Yuning said. "Go back and arrange a meeting for noon. I’ll be back at the studio soon." Back soon? Chen Wei wondered. Is she planning to beat up Young Master Qin and then return? A beating wouldn’t take much time, would it? Don’t blame Chen Wei for letting her thoughts run wild. Right now, she could already visualize Ye Yuning’s fierceness when beating Xiao Shuo. "Then you can’t hit Young Master Qin, you know," Chen Wei urged, concerned. Ye Yuning didn’t answer and hung up directly. Not lay a finger on Qin Jinchuan? Right now, she really wanted to shove that man’s head into a lake and give it a good rinsing! What on earth was he thinking, wanting revenge on her? Had she really dug up his ancestral graves in a past life? BUZZ. Her phone vibrated! Xiao Linye had sent her a text message. Ye Yuning flipped open her phone to see the message: "What would you like to eat?" "Going to meet a friend!" Ye Yuning replied. She wanted to have a meal with Xiao Linye too, but she definitely couldn’t make it for lunch today. She had to return to the studio. Xiao Linye, seeing she was going to meet a friend again, didn’t say anything more. He remembered back when she used to work at Manlang, they could have lunch together every day. Now that they were in the same company, it turned out that they could only be together in the evenings. He had originally thought that being closer meant they could see each other all the time. In the end, he had oversimplified things. He dialed Qin Jinchuan’s number, and the other end picked up quickly. "Lin." "Have lunch together?" "Aren’t you afraid your grandfather’s men will see?" Qin Jinchuan asked. "What’s there to worry about?" "Doesn’t your grandfather always say that public and private lives are inseparable?" Inseparable? It was more like they were completely entangled. Listening to Qin Jinchuan ramble on, Xiao Linye asked, "You care about that?" "Not at all!" Qin Jinchuan chuckled. If anything, the elders of the Qin and Xiao families were now so estranged they wouldn’t interact for the rest of their lives. However, the private relationship between Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan was exceptionally good. During the years that Qin Jinchuan was considered a fool, he spent most of his time abroad, and most of that time was with Xiao Linye. Newest update provıded by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 "Then come out!" Xiao Linye said. "Not today," Qin Jinchuan replied. Xiao Linye was puzzled. "I’m meeting a friend today," Qin Jinchuan said. "You should just have your wife accompany you." "She’s also meeting a friend!" "What a coincidence! Then I must remind you, women can be deceitful with their words. Are you sure it’s just a friend?" Facing Qin Jinchuan’s slander against Ye Yuning, Xiao Linye shot back sharply, "A dog’s mouth will never produce ivory!" Then, without waiting for Qin Jinchuan to reply, he hung up. At this moment, Ye Yuning was already on her way to Huijian. She called Yan Jun, telling her to hide all those various chili peppers. But Yan Jun told her, "Ji Nan just ordered the Devilishly Spicy. Is he trying to get back at you?" Ye Yuning was silent. She hadn’t guessed wrong! Why was this man so petty? Seeing she wasn’t speaking, Yan Jun asked, "Is he really getting back at you? I thought he’d developed some kind of addiction to spiciness! He just got out of the hospital, and he’s already asking for those peppers!" "So you served it to him?" Ye Yuning asked. "Served it, yeah, just did." Yan Jun hadn’t even considered that this might be to ’treat’ Ye Yuning, so she had gone ahead and served it. At that moment, Ye Yuning was waiting at a traffic light. Hearing Yan Jun’s words, she felt completely disheartened. As the traffic light countdown began, she said into the phone, "Can’t talk now, hanging up." She stuffed her phone into her bag and rode her little yellow shared bike, merging into the flow of electric scooters. On the way, she was pondering how to deal with Qin Jinchuan’s move. Qin Jinchuan was not like the others who came to pester her; he was cold, obstinate, and... childish! He used the coldest gaze to do the coldest things, with absolutely no room for negotiation. When she arrived at the entrance of Huijian, Ye Yuning first returned the bike. But she didn’t go into Huijian straight away. Instead, she stood at the entrance for a while, ultimately fishing out some eye drops from her bag...
