The car sped along the asphalt road, and their destination was the Ye family’s old residence.

Every Friday, Ye Lingxiao would return to the old residence for a night. Today, Old Madam Ye specially instructed him to bring Lin Wanmeng along from now on.

However, if Ye Lingxiao had not come to pick her up, he would not have been able to see Shen Yusong’s angry face.

“Thank you.” Suddenly, Lin Wanmeng thanked him softly.

“I thought you would hate me.” Ye Lingxiao turned to look at her, his tone no longer as unapproachable as before.

Lin Wanmeng shook her head gently and smiled as if she had been relieved of a burden. “That’s a separate matter.”

Hearing this, Ye Lingxiao suddenly turned around and placed his arm on the back of Lin Wanmeng’s chair behind her. A dark look appeared in his eyes. “You mean you still hate me?”

The man’s cold breath blew on her face like a thin mist, making Lin Wanmeng’s brain unable to function normally.

Seeing that he did not move away, she was a little annoyed. She frowned and denied, “No!”

Unexpectedly, because her movements were too big, her forehead actually hit Ye Lingxiao’s chin!

“Sss..” Ye Lingxiao gasped in pain.

At this moment, the car stopped at the entrance of the Ye family’s old residence.

“I didn’t do it on purpose!”

With that, Lin Wanmeng decisively picked up her bag and got out of the car at the speed of light.

Witnessing the scene just now, the driver praised the young madam in his heart. She was really a warrior! If it were anyone else, they would have been decapitated.

In the living room, Lin Wanmeng was talking to Old Madam Ye. When she saw Ye Lingxiao walk in with a dark expression, she consciously avoided the cold knife in his eyes.

As long as she pretended not to see it, it was equivalent to him not glaring at her.

When Old Madam Ye saw the couple “exchanging glances”, she was so happy that she could not close her mouth.

However, at such a harmonious moment, there were naturally some people who came to make things difficult.

Ye Lan leaned against the sofa and admired her newly painted nails as she winked at her younger brother, Ye Zu.

Ye Zu had a straightforward temper, but because Old Madam Ye was around, he could not flare up. He only took the initiative to mention, “I heard that you took over the company under your mother’s name after it went bankrupt?”

Lin Wanmeng’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Although she did not want to hide this matter, she still felt a little guilty when it was mentioned in person.

“Why did you bring this up for no reason?” Old Madam Ye pulled a long face and glanced at Ye Zu unhappily.

“We’re all family. It’s fine to chat about family matters.” Ye Zu chuckled at Old Madam Ye and secretly scrunched his nose at his sister, Ye Lan, indicating for her to speak.

Other than Ye Lingxiao, Old Madam Ye doted on Ye Lan the most. Otherwise, she would not have allowed her to bring her child back to the old residence after the divorce.

“It’s good that Sister-in-law is career-minded.” Ye Lan took Lin Wanmeng’s hand and smiled. Then, she changed the topic. “However, don’t take on something that you don’t have the ability to fix. Otherwise, others will laugh at our Ye family. Don’t you think so, Wanmeng?”

Lin Wanmeng’s face darkened when she heard the sarcasm in the other party’s words. She stood up immediately. Her cold aura made people think that she was about to get anxious.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The Ye Family members were a little confused. Only Ye Lingxiao sat there calmly, looking at the woman with a hint of interest.

“The Qinyu Company is on the verge of bankruptcy. I’m trying my best to save it. If you feel that you’ll be implicated because of this, I can immediately divorce Ye Lingxiao and cut ties with the Ye family.” Lin Wanmeng’s posture was upright and neither servile nor overbearing as she retorted.

Previously, she wanted to cooperate with the Ye family, but she didn’t plan to do it for free. Even if she didn’t have the chance to cooperate now, she wouldn’t use the Ye family’s name to swindle people outside. Since the Ye family was suspicious, she definitely wouldn’t bow down and beg.

Ye Lan and Ye Zu looked at each other, hoping that Lin Wanmeng would leave the Ye Family as soon as possible. As long as Ye Lingxiao did not have a wife or children, they would be his legal heirs in the future.

“Aiyo, good child, don’t spout nonsense. If anyone dares to force you to get a divorce, I won’t let them off! Isn’t it just opening a company? Open it as much as you want. It’s best if you can be safe and sound. Even if anything happens, Lingxiao will take responsibility for you.”

Old Madam Ye quickly comforted Lin Wanmeng, but her words were meant to intimidate Ye Lan and Ye Zu.

After calming down, Lin Wanmeng forced a smile. “Grandma, this is my own business after all. I’ll handle it myself and won’t cause trouble for Lingxiao and the Ye Family.”

Beside her, Ye Lingxiao was slightly stunned. Lingxiao? This was the first time she had called him so intimately.

Due to Old Madam Ye’s presence, the dinner passed peacefully.

When it was almost ten o’clock, Old Madam Ye urged Ye Lingxiao and Lin Wanmeng, “It’s getting late. Go back to your room and rest.”

Looking at their backs, the old lady smiled slyly and secretly asked the butler, “Old Xu, are you sure that Lingxu and Mengmeng will like what you prepared?”

The butler nodded confidently. “Old Madam, I checked the various decorations on the Internet promoting couples’ lives before getting someone to decorate it. Young Master and Young Madam will definitely be satisfied.”

Upstairs, Lin Wanmeng pushed open the bedroom door. She was shocked and petrified on the spot.

The floor of the bedroom was covered with countless roses, creating an ambiguous atmosphere with the dim lights on the wall. The fragrance that assaulted one’s face was even more intoxicating.

“This.. What’s going on?” Lin Wanmeng couldn’t help but complain in her heart. Those who didn’t know better would think that they had entered a sex hotel.

However, Ye Lingxiao remained calm and said coldly, “Go to sleep.”

Every move in the Ye family’s old residence could not escape Ye Lingxiao’s eyes, including the matter of the butler “modifying” his bedroom.

Lin Wanmeng frowned. “That’s easy for you to say. How are we going to sleep?”

“Sleep on the bed.” Ye Lingxiao was a man of few words. He turned around and went to the bedroom.

“..” Nonsense.

After Lin Wanmeng’s repeated confirmation, she confirmed that there was really no suite in this bedroom. There was no sofa, and there was not even any extra bedding. It could be seen that Old Madam Ye had put in a lot of effort.

The night was quiet and the two of them slept on the same bed. Lin Wanmeng could clearly hear Ye Lingxiao’s steady breathing and felt inexplicably flustered.

After repeatedly failing to fall asleep, she gave up struggling and finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

Little did she know that Ye Lingxiao had a sleepless night as well. Fortunately, he went to the office early. However, before he left the bedroom, he accidentally saw the woman’s sleeping face appear in front of him from time to time.

..

Lin Wanmeng was woken up by Vice President Zhou Quan’s call.

“President Lin, the company is saved!”

Zhou Quan’s words made Lin Wanmeng stand up from the bed like a carp. She urged excitedly, “Hurry up and tell me the details.”

This morning, CEO Yu of the Orca Group took the initiative to contact Zhou Quan. He said that his previous cooperation with the Qinyu Corporation had been very successful. He also had a good relationship with Lin Bo, so he wanted to help Qinyu.

Lin Wanmeng didn’t know much about her father’s friends, but she had to see them first.

“Okay, I’ll go see CEO Yu later.”

“But—” Zhou Quan reminded her hesitantly, “CEO Yu has a little problem.”
