The two good friends looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They tacitly avoided the topic of Lin Wanmeng.

Bai Yamo looked at the street in a daze. She suddenly thought of something and asked, “I remember you saying that you have someone you like.”

“Is that her?”

She had witnessed many young girls being rejected miserably after confessing to Ye Lingxiao.

At some point, the young man who was surrounded by flowers and candy could only reply in an indifferent tone, “I’m sorry, I already have someone I like.”

After so many years, Bai Yamo still remembered.

At the mention of this, Ye Lingxiao suddenly fell silent. After a while, he said, “No.”

Bai Yamo was stunned. At this moment, Ye Lingxiao’s eyes were filled with youthful loneliness. She lowered her head. “Did something happen?”

Ye Lingxiao didn’t say anything. The man’s mature face was filled with loneliness and regret. It was a pity.

The traffic was heavy and the neon lights were flashing. Bai Yamo mustered her courage and asked,

“If you meet her one day, will you regret it?”

In fact, what Bai Yamo wanted to ask was that if it wasn’t her, then did it really not matter regardless of who it was..

Lin Wanmeng’s figure flashed past Ye Lingxiao’s eyes. It was neither gorgeous nor elegant. It was like a grass seed that had been abandoned and casually thrown into a crack in the soil.

All it needed was heavy rain for it to grow and release a clean scent that made people feel at ease.

But suddenly, someone wearing a red dress with flounced sleeves flashed past with a bright smile.

“It’s just a marriage. There’s no regret.”

At the entrance of the hotel, the two of them did not notice the flash of a camera in the grass by the road.

Bai Yamo was happy to be back. She drank a little more and walked side by side with Ye Lingxiao.

When she was about to get into the car, she lost her balance and stumbled. Ye Lingxiao held her arm.

Ye Lan held her phone and looked at the intimate photo with satisfaction. Her lips curled up.

The next day, when Lin Wanmeng arrived at the company, everything was normal. Only Zhou Quan’s behavior was a little strange.

The other party stammered and hesitated, as if he was hiding something he shouldn’t have.

Lin Wanmeng did not have the habit of reading entertainment tabloids. When she heard the girl beside her discussing the love and hatred between the rich and powerful, she smiled.

It was only when she heard Ye Lingxiao’s name that she froze.

“What happened?”

Zhou Quan braced himself and brought the newspaper to Lin Wanmeng. On it was the scene of Ye Lingxiao supporting Bai Yamo last night. The reporters gave this scene an extremely explosive opening.

[The financial giant is dating a newbie in the entertainment industry. Was it love at first sight or did it develop over time?]

Bai Yamo’s life story was almost completely dug out. It was also marked in larger fonts that the other party was actually childhood sweethearts with Ye Lingxiao.

This report was flirtatious and not obscene. Instead, it outlined a relatively innocent and beautiful scene, causing many young readers to sigh at the true love of the wealthy.

If one of the parties involved, Lin Wanmeng, had not seen it, she would have believed it.

Lin Wanmeng put down the newspaper. If Ye Lingxiao was determined to marry Bai Yamo, reuniting with his old love was indeed a good headline.

“President Lin, if you’re unhappy, you can say it.”

Zhou Quan only felt that Lin Wanmeng’s cold expression was very terrifying, but she only smiled at him.

“Instead of thinking about this gossip, why don’t you consider which advertisement we should choose this time?

After confirming that there was really nothing wrong with Lin Wanmeng, Zhou Quan was a little relieved. “Our fashion design and jewelry are all quite well-received. It’s just that the publicity is not strong enough. Nowadays, jewelry and clothing are all collaborating with management companies, but..”

“Most of the models now belong to the He Corporation. I remember you telling us to rely less on the He Corporation and think of our own way out.”

Indeed, after encountering He Yan repeatedly, even the slowest person could sense that something was wrong.

The Ye family did have a management company, but now..

Lin Wanmeng pondered for a moment and could only put this matter aside for now.

On the Ye family’s side, Ye Lan was sitting beside Old Madam Ye and acting coquettishly. She begged aggrievedly, “Recently, our family’s management company has been lacking a manager. I want Yusong to try.”

“To help his uncle? Don’t embarrass the Ye family like last time.”

Ye Lan did not dare to refute. However, when she thought about how Lin Wanmeng was probably in pain, she felt a little better.

Old Madam Ye did not resist and finally agreed. Ye Lan picked up her bag and walked out happily. Before she could take two steps, she received a call from Bai Yamo.

“Sister Ye Lan, I promised to help you at the agency last time, but you clearly know that Lingxiao is already married. How can you still create scandals for us?”

Ye Lan was confident that she could handle a young girl who had just graduated from school.

As she started the car, she kindly advised, “When a newcomer debuts, they have a lack of popularity. Isn’t it a good thing to have such perfect news as a foundation?”

When facing Ye Lingxiao, Ye Lan changed her words.

“This is also Bai Yamo’s idea. After all, we’re good friends. You won’t reject her, right?”

Seeing that Ye Lingxiao was still frowning but did not deny it, Ye Lan smiled smugly.

In the evening, Lin Wanmeng received a call from Ye Lingxiao. The other party seemed to have just finished dealing with public relations. There was a hint of fatigue in his tone. “You saw the news today, right? This matter..”

“It was an accident. I didn’t want to do this. I was careless, I’ll pay attention next time. What else do you want me to do?! Can you not be unreasonable?!” Lin Wanmeng finished the entire sentence in one breath and asked Ye Lingxiao with a smile, “President Ye, is this what you want to say?”

The person on the other end of the phone was very obviously silent for a moment. He opened his mouth to explain again.

Lin Wanmeng spoke before he could. “President Ye, you probably forgot that our marriage hasn’t been completely announced to the public.”

“What’s more, it’s just a scandal. Nothing will be affected even if there’s more of it.”

Perhaps angered by Lin Wanmeng’s nonchalant and provocative tone, the man opposite her originally felt guilty. Now, his attitude became cold. “Miss Lin is right. It seems that I was overthinking.”

Lin Wanmeng chuckled. She placed her other hand on her heart and felt the pain from the beating.

Even so, she still gritted her teeth and teased, “That’s right. Of course, Miss Bai is pure and innocent. It’s hard on President Ye to be so flustered.”

This didn’t sound right. Ye Lingxiao frowned and was about to ask when the other party hung up.

Lin Wanmeng clutched her chest and sat in her office. A second before she hung up, a suffocating feeling suddenly swept over her, making her unable to breathe.

Her eyelashes fluttered. The corners of her eyes were red, but she refused to cry.
