Zheng Cai clenched her teeth in anger.
She shouted at Ye Yuning, "Get everything here sorted out before the wedding, and hand it all over to Tongtong!"
Originally, she hadn't wanted to rush her like this. But Ye Yuning had gone too far, humiliating her Tongtong like that. There was no need for civility anymore.
She thought this would blunt Ye Yuning's sharp edge, yet Ye Yuning nonchalantly nodded, "Sure, no problem!"
This swift agreement made Zheng Cai and Ye Tong's expressions freeze.
She agreed again? Just as unhesitatingly as she agreed to marry into the Qin Family? What is she up to...
Before Zheng Cai and Ye Tong could figure out Ye Yuning's intentions, they heard Ye Yuning instruct Wang Jin, "Notify everyone; let's get the handover started immediately!"
Wang Jin nodded. "The new office is ready. I'll notify all staff to prepare for the move right away."
At these words, the air seemed to grow heavy with tension.
Zheng Cai, already fuming, grew even angrier. "What do you mean, Ye Yuning?"
Ye Yuning shrugged. "I'm just doing as you said, handing everything over. Are you satisfied now?"
"Then why are you taking the staff with you?"
"Why don't you ask around and see if anyone wants to stay?"
Zheng Cai was rendered speechless, her chest heaving with suppressed fury!
Looking at Ye Yuning's casual yet completely in-control demeanor, Zheng Cai wanted to tear her to shreds.
Ye Tong also felt deeply humiliated by Ye Yuning's seemingly nonchalant words.
Just as Zheng Cai was about to say more, Ye Tong couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her back. "Mom, don't say any more! Let's go!"
I was too impatient today. Everything Ye Yuning has should be mine anyway. Why rush it? I should have waited until Ye Yuning married that fool from the Qin Family!
Zheng Cai was furious, but seeing how the people here were humiliating Ye Tong, she didn't want to stay any longer either.
She glared hatefully at Ye Yuning before angrily leaving with Ye Tong.
The office door was slammed shut.
Ye Yuning, however, was in a great mood. She looked at Wang Jin, who still hadn't calmed down, and asked, "Really not even as good as a kindergartener's work?"
She hadn't seen Ye Tong's drawings, but for Wang Jin to be this furious, they must have been truly terrible.
Wang Jin fumed, "It's worse than chicken scratch!"
Ye Yuning suppressed a laugh and nodded. "Remember, I appreciate your honesty. Go on, get back to work."
"Okay."
Wang Jin left.
Ye Yuning picked up her phone to see a text message from Ye Tong.
Since Ye Tong hadn't gained any advantage and had nothing to flaunt, the message was full of unspeakable abuse.
Reading these words, Ye Yuning didn't feel the slightest bit angry. Instead, her mind replayed the scene of Ye Tong and Zheng Cai being thwarted.
Feeling quite pleased, she replied with two words, "Sow~!"
This response nearly made Ye Tong, on the other end of the line, explode with rage.
She put down her phone and went to the conference room. After two consecutive meetings, it was already time to leave work.
Ye Yuning thought of her new husband—they had just registered their marriage—and suddenly remembered she hadn't sent him her location.
She quickly took out her phone, which was on silent, intending to call Xiao Linye.
But just then, his message came in, "You haven't sent me your location."
"Sorry, I got busy and forgot. Where are you? I'll come to you!"
"Send me your location. I'll come to you!"
Even through the screen, Ye Yuning could sense a touch of the man's commanding nature.
This man I randomly picked to marry... could he be a male chauvinist?
As she pondered this, she sent her location to Xiao Linye.
He replied, "I'm nearby. Wait for me, ten minutes."
"There's a Western restaurant downstairs from my company. You can go straight there."
Ye Yuning, who hadn't eaten lunch and was now starving, sent the message and quickly went to her office to pack her things.
When she arrived at the restaurant, she saw Xiao Linye from a distance, sitting by the window.
He had changed his clothes. The outfit was unbranded but impeccably neat, without a single wrinkle. These small details suggested he was a meticulous person.
Ye Yuning approached him. "How did you get here?"
"Took a taxi."
Ye Yuning nodded, beginning to form an idea of his financial status.
At the same time, she wondered, Could this man I married in such a hurry be a 'Phoenix Man,' like the one my best friend Tang Xi married? Thinking of the chaos in Tang Xi's family made my scalp tingle instantly! If he is, can I get a divorce after dealing with the Qin Family's trouble in three days?
As the thought flashed through her mind, Ye Yuning herself felt she was being quite despicable.
Xiao Linye, unaware of her thoughts, handed her the menu. "I don't know your preferences, so I didn't order for you."
Ye Yuning said, "Black pepper spaghetti, please, and a medium-well steak."
Xiao Linye nodded and then handed the order slip to the waiter.
When it was just the two of them left at the table, Ye Yuning picked up her water glass, took a sip, and felt a bit awkward, not knowing how to start the conversation. She wasn't usually like this at work, but facing this husband she knew nothing about, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. If it weren't for dealing with the Qin Family in three days, she would never have done something so unreliable.
Xiao Linye's gaze was deep, as if he sensed her unease. He seemed to consciously temper his imposing aura and asked, "Do you mind if I'm direct?"
This was exactly what Ye Yuning wanted. She shook her head. "Not at all!"
"Then you ask first?"
"Sure!"
Having agreed, Ye Yuning suddenly found herself at a loss. Where should I even begin? I have no experience with this!
