Chapter 13

Lin Wanmeng took a deep breath and tried her best to ignore him.

No matter how much her imagination ran wild, she could not resist the sleepiness that gradually spread.

Lin Wanmeng quickly closed her eyes. In a daze, she felt herself turn over. Her left hand, which was beside her waist, held something with distinct joints.

She subconsciously pinched it and realized that it was a human hand. The protagonist who was pinched felt the warm touch the moment the other party’s skin touched him.

It was different from last night’s boiling heat. It had a healthy hand feel.

Lin Wanmeng wasn’t someone who did not work, but her skin was still much softer than those of ordinary people

Like a piece of tofu that had just been fished out of the water, it rubbed against his hand.

Seduce him?

Ye Lingxiao narrowed his eyes. Could it be that his grandmother’s enthusiasm had given her hope?

He carefully turned around and saw Lin Wanmeng sleeping soundly with the pillows in her arms. She bit a corner of the pillow as if she was tasting something delicious and let out a weak hum.

Pretend he didn’t say anything.

Ye Lingxiao was going on a business trip for three days, while Lin Wanmeng planned to accompany him at the beginning and end of the trip. She could go to Xiaocheng to sightsee in between.

Initially, Lin Wanmeng did not think that Ye Lingxiao would refuse. Unfortunately, the other party had gone crazy and insisted on dragging her to the company.

So while Ye Lingxiao was having a meeting in the conference room. Lin Wanmeng waited in the pantry gloomily and even had to serve a cup of coffee to this man who had just come out of the conference room.

Initially, Lin Wanmeng was very dissatisfied with this job. However, as she slowly listened to how they operated in the company, she learned something.

Ye Lingxiao turned a blind eye to this. Lin Wanmeng’s talents and abilities were not bad, but she lacked experience and her horizons were not broad.

This was also the reason why he didn’t like the proposal back then.

This time, he could use this opportunity to train her.

He did not want her to embarrass herself

The last sentence was forcefully added by Ye Lingxiao five seconds later.

Secretary Zheng was supposed to accompany Ye Lingxiao on business trips, but he had waited at the door for too long yesterday and accidentally caught a cold.

Ye Lingxiao did not bring more people with him since he was not far from the headquarters. This attracted many people with ulterior motives.

Hence, Lin Wanmeng, who was standing at the side, had a new interest. She counted how many people tried to enter Ye Lingxiao’s office under all kinds of excuses.

There were a total of 12 people in eight hours, both men and women. The common characteristic was that they were all good-looking.

However, it was obvious that the person they tried building relations with did not have a good impression of this.

Lin Wanmeng yawned after watching too much of this drama. However, she heard a series of sounds from afar. A woman wearing red patent leather high heels appeared, bringing along a sharp wind with her.

Xia Qing had indeed been silent for a while after being warned by Ye Lingxiao last time, but she quickly found out about Ye Lingxiao’s business trip from Assistant Zheng.

Unfortunately, Old Madam Ye requested for Lin Wanmeng.

She quickly walked to Lin Wanmeng’s side and stopped in her tracks. Although her tone was cold, she still called out politely, “Mrs. Ye.”

It seemed that the previous incident had left a deep impression on Xia Qing. Lin Wanmeng nodded reservedly.

Xia Qing gritted her teeth and turned to enter. Her ending was different from those who had been chased out.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Lingxiao’s face darkened slightly. Behind him was Xia Qing, who still had the time to give Lin Wanmeng a provocative look.

Lin Wanmeng really did not know how she had inexplicably become a thorn in Xia Qing’s eye. Could it be that she had unintentionally expressed her admiration for Ye Lingxiao?

It didn’t seem like it.

Then why was she targeting her like this? Was she a hedgehog with so many thorns on her body?

“President Ye, I’m here for the field trip to Xiaocheng. If you’re interested, you can come with me.”

Xia Qing was obviously using work as an excuse to stay by Ye Lingxiao’s side.

On the other hand, Ye Lingxiao’s tolerance for her was also quite high. He was not unhappy at all.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Lin Wanmeng’s heart. Ye Lingxiao’s temper towards her was not even a quarter as good as his temper towards Xia Qing.

“Sure.” Ye Lingxiao glanced at Lin Wanmeng. She immediately put on a smile and followed him eagerly.

Initially, Xia Qing didn’t dare to have any designs on Ye Lingxiao.

She knew that Ye Lingxiao had always had an elusive love hidden in his heart, so she was willing to silently stay by Ye Lingxiao’s side. She only hoped that the other party would discover her good qualities one day.

However, Lin Wanmeng’s appearance was like a bolt from the blue to her.

It turned out that the unmoved Ye Lingxiao could also get married.

Xia Qing couldn’t accept that the position of Mrs. Ye, which she had been longing for, had been occupied by a woman of unknown origin.

Fortunately, she was a persistent woman. Since she already knew that Ye Lingxiao could marry, why couldn’t she give it a try?

However, Xia Qing’s original plan for this business trip was to follow Ye Lingxiao. However, Ye Lingxiao did not bring her along, but rather this woman.

She had to send her away.

Xia Qing glanced at the notice from the elevator beside her and smiled. She had an idea.

“President Ye, please come this way.”

Xia Qing smiled and blocked the announcement. Just as Ye Lingxiao stepped into the elevator and Lin Wanmeng was about to follow him, Xia Qing stopped her.

“Mrs. Ye, can I trouble you to bring President Ye’s documents over? We’ll go to the meeting room first.”

Lin Wanmeng blinked. The other party was clearly trying to send her away.

However, it was also good. After watching and learning for the entire morning, it was not a bad idea to take a breather. She was about to turn around when a clear male voice appeared beside the elevator.

“Mrs. Ye? Is President Ye here?”

That person clearly knew Ye Lingxiao and greeted him warmly as soon as he arrived. Ye Lingxiao’s expression also changed from cold to a little warmer.

“Is this your wife? She looks very much like the type you used to like.”

Used to like?

Lin Wanmeng accurately grasped the main point of this sentence.

Ye Lingxiao, on the other hand, avoided the topic. “How’s work recently?”

That person was obviously a carefree person. He scratched his head and suddenly slapped it. “Wasn’t there a meeting in the conference room just now?”

He looked at Xia Qing. “You must be the design director of the head office. Coincidentally, we have a proposal that we want you to take a look at.”

This man was overly enthusiastic and forcefully pulled Xia Qing out. Lin Wanmeng originally wanted to go upstairs to get the documents, but she was called back to the elevator by Ye Lingxiao.

“Mrs. Ye, pay attention to your status. Don’t let anyone order you around.”

Lin Wanmeng stopped thinking and quietly stayed in the elevator. Just as the elevator went down two floors, the lights suddenly flashed.

The power was cut off, leaving only the emergency lights still lit.

Lin Wanmeng’s mind went blank. When she thought of Xia Qing’s previous performance, the corners of her mouth twitched. Could this lady have been trying to utilize misattribution of arousal?

However, she soon realized the second problem.

She was a little claustrophobic.
