The moment before, she was gently chiding Ye Tong and the others for scheming against her. The next, she walked past Ye Tong with an arrogant expression and headed straight inside. Yan Jun, who followed behind, was almost completely confused by her sudden change! "What was that just now?" Yan Jun asked Ye Yuning in a low voice. That foot of hers had almost stepped on Ye Tong, yet she withdrew it! Such a reaction wasn’t something an ordinary person could pull off, and Yan Jun almost admired her for it. Ye Yuning explained, "Qin Jinchuan’s men came out just now." Yan Jun said, "I see. I was wondering why you suddenly started playing the innocent." "So, was my acting any good?" Ye Yuning asked. "Good, I was almost disgusted to death!" Yan Jun said bluntly. Ye Yuning replied, "Don’t say you were disgusted, I am too. Look, goosebumps!" As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves to show Yan Jun. Yan Jun was speechless. There weren’t many people who could disgust themselves like that. And as their conversation reached this point, Yan Jun probably understood why there were tears in Ye Yuning’s eyes. It was all to deceive Qin Jinchuan! Only, that Young Master Qin is clearly not someone to be trifled with. Would he fall for such tricks? Ji Nan told Qin Jinchuan everything he had seen outside. Qin Jinchuan asked, "She really cried?" He was somewhat incredulous. After all, the Ye Yuning of rumors was not someone known to cry. Although she was adopted by the Ye Family, the rumors were all about her excellence. As for her temperament... naturally, she would be arrogant because of that excellence. Ji Nan nodded. "She did cry. The Ye Family was really too harsh on her." Qin Jinchuan shot a cold glance at Ji Nan. The pot on the table bubbled away. Even with a miniature exhaust fan, the air was still filled with a pungent, choking smell. Ji Nan hadn’t expected that his boss would seek retaliation against a woman in such a manner! The method seemed cold, but no matter how one looked at it, it was somewhat childish. As the two of them talked, there was a knock on the private room door. Ji Nan looked at Qin Jinchuan and said, "It should be Miss Ye." "Open it," Qin Jinchuan said in an icy tone. That woman actually cried? That’s as surprising as the sun rising from the west. He wanted to see just how she cried. Ji Nan opened the door. Outside, the petite Ye Yuning stood obediently. Wearing a face mask, her red, misty eyes were even more conspicuous to Ji Nan and Qin Jinchuan. This gave Qin Jinchuan an instant sense of guilt. What was he doing? Making such a small child cry? When the word ’child’ flashed through Qin Jinchuan’s mind, he went numb. Indeed, Ye Yuning’s small stature did make her look like a child at first glance. "Young Master Qin, you wanted to see me," she said, her voice soft and weak. It bore no resemblance to the brazen demeanor of the tomboy from before. So, had he really scared her to tears? Qin Jinchuan took a deep breath, nodded, and grunted, "Mm." "Are you asking me to eat this whole pot of chili peppers?" Ye Yuning asked with a whimper. Qin Jinchuan was silent. Ji Nan, hearing this, stiffened. At this point, could they really ask her to eat it all? Yes, when he ordered this, Qin Jinchuan had said to make Ye Yuning eat all of it! He wanted to ensure she wouldn’t be able to leave the hospital for a month. However, right then, Qin Jinchuan lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know you sent me to the hospital with your spicy food?" Hearing that tone, Ji Nan’s eyelid twitched. And upon hearing these words, Ye Yuning choked out, "I’m sorry." Both Ji Nan and Qin Jinchuan were speechless. She actually apologized? Ji Nan looked at Ye Yuning in disbelief. Regarding the rumors about Ye Yuning, he had certainly heard the most. According to those rumors, she had no background, yet she had propelled herself to the apex, a true heaven’s favored daughter. The halo she wore was enough to make her arrogant! Such an arrogant person was now softly saying ’I’m sorry’ to his boss? Qin Jinchuan frowned, giving Ye Yuning a cold look. "So you realize your mistake?" "Yes, I realize my mistake." Qin Jinchuan was silent. She admitted her mistake! Before coming here, all he had thought about was how to destroy this vixen. But now, she had admitted her mistake. He hadn’t considered the possibility of her admitting her mistake, so for a moment, Qin Jinchuan didn’t quite know how to react. Before he could figure out how to respond, Ye Yuning continued, her voice filled with grievance, "Refusing to marry you really wasn’t my fault. You were a fool back then. The Ye Family wanted me to marry a fool. How could I agree to that? If I had, wouldn’t I have become a fool too?" When Ye Yuning had said these words before, her assertive attitude constantly provoked defiance. But now, spoken in such a pitiful and vulnerable tone, it instantly made it hard for anyone to rebut her. Qin Jinchuan found himself thinking, Yes, she knew it was a setup! And they wanted to marry her off to a fool. Unless she was a fool herself, why wouldn’t she resist? Seeing that Qin Jinchuan didn’t respond, Ye Yuning felt extremely nervous and carefully glanced at him. When she saw a flicker of yielding in the man’s eyes, Ye Yuning quickly pressed her advantage, "I’m truly sorry for causing you such harm." Her "I’m truly sorry" conveyed absolute sincerity.
