Ye Yuning: "..."
No, don't play with fire!
From Xiao Linye's tone, she detected not only oppression but also a clear threat.
Before she could speak, Xiao Linye said, "Let's have lunch together."
His tone had noticeably lost its earlier chill.
Ye Yuning: "..." This man! One moment he nearly scares me to death, and the next he's being so gentle. What's with him?
"No, I'll be busy then."
The thought of going to the Xiao Family had her so worried, her stomach was in knots. Even though Lai Shuo had been exiled, going to the Xiao Family felt like a huge risk to her marriage with Xiao Linye.
Xiao Linye: "Fine then. Tell your boss she'd better not try anything funny!"
With that, Xiao Linye hung up.
Ye Yuning tightened her grip on the phone, muttering, "Anything funny? Does he think I'm some kind of witch?"
Little did she know, as the owner of Manlang, that's exactly what Xiao Linye thought of her—a witch.
