Ye Lingxiao was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little ugly. In just a moment, Lin Wanmeng had already pushed his arms away.

With her back to the moonlight, she looked up slightly, her dark brown eyes shining with a dark light.

“Since President Ye and Assistant Zheng still have something on, I’ll take my leave first.”

Lin Wanmeng turned her head and ran towards the garden without giving Ye Lingxiao a chance to react.

Ye Lingxiao stood rooted to the ground, the touch of her delicate skin still lingering in his palm. He stared blankly in Lin Wanmeng’s direction.

“President Ye, you’re unlucky in love.” A teasing voice sounded in his ear, and Ye Lingxiao quickly restrained his expression.

He Yan stood behind the pillar at the door as if he had been there for a long time. His eyes were filled with ridicule, but when no one noticed, he looked in Lin Wanmeng’s direction.

“Mr. He, you’re in a good mood. I won’t accompany you any longer.” Ye Lingxiao returned to his working state. His previous passion seemed to have been covered by the snow.

The back garden was very quiet. The supervisor here had specially divided the garden into two halves. One side was planted with sunflowers, and the other side was planted with pure white roses.

Lin Wanmeng walked slowly into the courtyard along the path in the middle and sat on a wooden bench at the side. She lowered her eyelashes, and a teardrop fell from her black eyelashes.

After sorting out the cause and effect, she realized that the tempting kiss was just the result of Ye Lingxiao’s possessiveness.

Lin Wanmeng had read the diary and seen all the gifts that Ye Lingxiao had meticulously prepared for that person.

In comparison, she was just a toy that was for pleasure during indulgence. As long as she was still under Ye Lingxiao’s control, she was not allowed to be approached by others.

There was nothing wrong with that.

Lin Wanmeng smiled. Fortunately, she could still obtain some protection before she ended her identity as Mrs. Ye.

She was the one in the wrong. She shouldn’t have been moved by this.

If she had only followed the deal, she would not have felt so sad just now.

“Miss Lin, are you here to admire the flowers?”

Lin Wanmeng raised her head vigilantly. The tears in her eyes had not completely dried up, and they covered her brown eyes with a layer of watery fluorescent light.

It had to be said that it was precisely because of that light that He Yan had deliberately chased after her.

He had been observing Ye Lingxiao’s movements and naturally noticed that he had followed Lin Wanmeng out.

However, what happened at the entrance of the banquet hall was completely beyond his expectations.

The relationship between the two did not seem to be harmonious, and there were even some disputes.

Originally, He Yan only used this as a way to gather information for business competition. However, when Lin Wanmeng suddenly pushed Ye Lingxiao away, he saw her long black hair swaying in the wind, and her eyes were as bright as the moonlight.

For the first time, he examined the relationship between Lin Wanmeng and Ye Lingxiao with the normal feelings of a man and a woman.

Regrettably, there were only two kinds of feelings for a proud son of heaven like Ye Lingxiao. Either he didn’t cherish her because he got what he wanted too easily, or he was too wary and didn’t accept her.

Although Lin Wanmeng looked tough on the outside, she might not be as resolute in her relationships as she was in her work.

At the thought of this, He Yan suddenly pitied Lin Wanmeng. Hence, he chased after her on impulse. In fact, he regretted it the moment he called out to Lin Wanmeng.

There was no need to be so despicable for competition in business. After all, the focus was still on business. This information was only supplementary.

However, since things had come to this, He Yan still greeted her with a smile and handed her a clean handkerchief.

“Old Madam Ye is also in the banquet hall. Don’t let her see that you’ve been crying.”

Lin Wanmeng did not even have an excuse to reject him. She silently took the handkerchief and thanked him in a low voice.

He Yan sat at the side and carefully observed Lin Wanmeng. He had interacted with Lin Bo before. To be honest, the two of them did not look like father and daughter at all.

Flattery was a method, and Lin Bai had forcefully made this method into his personality.

On the other hand, Lin Wanmeng’s back was still very straight, no matter when or how disappointed she looked. It was as if nothing could crush her back.

“President Lin, you should know that I personally approved of your designs.” He Yan knew that Lin Wanmeng was not someone who would let go of her heart easily. He deliberately circled around business and said, “Can you tell me your design concept?”

Lin Wanmeng was a little surprised. Although everyone had a tacit understanding, this was the first time He Yan had personally said in front of others that Yueming was his company.

Exchanging sincerity for sincerity, Lin Wanmeng was too embarrassed to dwell on her personal emotions.

The two of them were chatting happily and it was easy for people to see them from the window on the second floor.

The second floor of the banquet hall was lit with warm candles, and the dim yellow light could not hide the necklace in Ye Lingxiao’s hand.

Assistant Zheng braced himself and said, “President Ye, do you still want to give this gift to Madam?”

Ever since that business trip, Ye Lingxiao had been paying more attention to Lin Wanmeng. He could feel his gaze moving towards the woman quietly by his side, but for the first time, he was unwilling to stop her.

As a designer, Lin Wanmeng had once praised Huashe Jewelry endlessly. Ye Lingxiao remembered it but did not take it to heart.

However, after that day, he suddenly had an idea and wanted to give Lin Wanmeng a gift.

Unfortunately, she did not appreciate it.

Ye Lingxiao quietly watched as Lin Wanmeng smiled and whispered to the man downstairs.

The He Corporation was not bad. It could also become her shelter, right?

It did not matter who her husband was. She only wanted a backing that could shelter her from the wind and rain. When she could stand on her own feet, she would leave without hesitation.

What a joke. One day, he, Ye Lingxiao, would find it unbearable to abide by the contract.

“That won’t be necessary.” He tossed the ten-million-dollar jewelry on the sofa like it was trash. “That won’t be necessary.”

Assistant Zheng had a complicated look in his eyes. Just as he responded, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw Lin Bo standing at the door, rubbing his hands.

“May I ask if President Ye has rested?”

The situation of Lin Bo’s company had been very bad recently. He had enough ability to keep things under control, but in the face of the turmoil that could even shake the He Corporation, it was inevitable that he would be a little unstable.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sold Qinyu’s information for pennies.

In the entire turbulence, the Ye Corporation was the only one who was not affected.

Initially, Lin Bo did not expect to work with them. However, when he saw Old Madam Ye holding his daughter’s hand today, he felt that there was hope.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Lingxiao’s mood was gloomy, and his attitude was not good.

Lin Bo was still a little afraid of President Ye. He hesitated for a moment and said, “We have a project that we want to work with you on.”

“This kind of thing should be discussed in the company, shouldn’t it?”

Lin Bo laughed dryly. “That’s for an ordinary person. After all, my relationship with President Ye is not ordinary.”

He said meaningfully, “Besides, I also want to see if Mengmeng is doing well here. I’ve been busy with the company for the past two days and haven’t seen her in a long time.”

Ye Lingxiao raised his eyebrows. Although he did not know much about Lin Wanmeng, he knew that the man in front of him was not worthy of being her father.
