"What are you looking at me for?" Nangong Ye, who was waiting for her response, asked. She didn't understand why she was suddenly using this kind of gaze to size herself up. It was as if she was researching something.
"Elder Nan Gong, are you really Long Yingqi? In the past, when I saw you, your name was not Nangong Ye. Why did everything change after a month? He no longer returned to the Long Residence, so he treated her like a stranger.
Nangong Ye didn't expect her to ask this question and thought to herself that she must have heard Long Haochen's nonsense last night. He suddenly turned around and stood in front of the wine shelf. Holding the glass in his hand, he wanted to pour a cup for himself, but he had no intention of drinking it.
Ye Jia's gaze followed him closely. When she thought that he wouldn't answer her question, Nangong Ye clenched her wine cup tightly and said two words, "No!" After saying that, she turned around and stared at Ye Jia expressionlessly, "Twenty days ago, in the lobby of the first floor, it was the first time I saw you and spoke to you."
"How is this possible?" Ye Jia called out in a low voice, but Long Haochen had clearly said that he was Long Yingqi's. In the end, who could believe his words?
Nangong Ye took a step forward and pressed down on her shoulders. She stared at her and said in all seriousness, "I didn't lie to you, and there's no need to lie to you." Seeing that she still had a look of disbelief on her face, he let go of her and walked towards the studio, not saying anything else to explain himself.
Ye Jia froze on the spot, unable to react for a moment. Nangong Ye's expression didn't seem like she was lying at all. Had Long Haoxuan made a mistake? The real Long Yingqi is still in England? AHH! How messy!
"I really didn't expect you to come back to work today." Nangong Ye sat down on the leather chair and sneered at her.
"What do you mean?" His words were so profound, she could never understand them! However, looking at his evil expression, he knew that there was nothing good to say.
Nangong Ye crossed her arms and lazily leaned against the back of the chair, sizing her up with a smile, "With Long Haochen's temper, I thought he wouldn't let you stay by my side any longer. Seeing you suddenly appear today is the greatest surprise I've ever experienced."
"He …" Ye Jia was stifled. She thought angrily that he did let her come, but he forced her to come at the last moment with all his power and guarantees. However, she was already very satisfied. Long Haochen's willingness to let her continue working here really astonished her. If it had been a month ago, he would have long since sent her back to the Dragon Manor.
Why did he let her go so easily this time? I don't understand!
Especially now, the outside world was talking about her and Nangong Ye. However, after seeing Nangong Ye's appearance, it seemed that she did not care about the rumors outside at all. He didn't even mention it. Was it because he didn't hear it at all?
"Elder Nan Gong, you should have heard the rumors outside, right?" Ye Jia asked carefully.
"So what?" Nangong Ye was still unmoved. It was as if the rumors outside had nothing to do with him. She only stared at him, wanting to hear what kind of relationship she had with him. Did he want to leave?
Ye Jia was frightened by his question and stammered, "Uh, I don't think we should be in a public place together, plus …. I can't help you much, just transfer another assistant. "
This way, she wouldn't be pressured by the rumors from the outside world. Also, she promised Long Haochen that she wouldn't have anything to do with Nangong Ye. Although she didn't feel the need to listen to him intentionally, for the sake of everyone else, it was better to stay away from him.
"I don't care if they love it or not. What are you worried about?" Nangong Ye laughed coldly. This matter had a far greater impact on him than she did. But what was strange was that he liked hearing them spread like this!
Ye Jia spat out blood in her heart. She didn't care about telling him that it was useless! Sigh!
When Nangong Ye saw her helpless expression, she suddenly felt that this matter was truly interesting. He really couldn't bear to part with it. So, let them spread it. The more intense the spread, the better!
"Mister Nan Gong, uh... "You seem to be rather busy. I won't bother you any longer and will be going out to work first." Ye Jia said uncomfortably, waiting for his response. Nangong Ye just stared at her without moving. She didn't nod or shake her head, nor did she say a word.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Jia just assumed that he had tacitly agreed. She politely lowered her head and took a few steps back, then she turned around and quickly left. Nangong Ye looked at her back as she ran away. She did not say anything to stop her and only took in a light breath.
While he was deep in thought, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Nangong Ye habitually pressed speaker down on it and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?" His face returned to the seriousness of his work.
A sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mister Nangong, Madam Nangong wants you to go home tonight."
"Got it." Nangong Ye replied and hung up. Madame Nangong was looking for him? All he had to do was to get him a bunch of beautiful women for him to choose from, and ask him to get married as soon as possible. Ye Jia's figure suddenly appeared in his mind. 'Why can't there be more women as unique as her in this world?'
When other women saw him, they would think of ways to stick close to him and especially liked to make the first move on Madam Nangong. She was the only one who avoided him like a plague god every day.
Even though he knew Madam Nangong's intentions, Nangong Ye would still go back. As the Nangong family's private residence was rather remote, it would still take them an hour to get back home by car.
When he drove the car into the courtyard, Nangong Ye saw that familiar running palanquin that belonged to Wang Qi Wen. Her pretty eyebrows unconsciously drew together. Why was this woman so free all the time!
After handing the car over to the male servant, Nangong Ye walked into the house with steady steps. When she entered the door, she saw Wang Qi Wen's charming face. Beside her, Madam Nangong and Madam Wang were chatting happily.
"Ye, you're back?" Wang Qi Wen happily stood up from the sofa, stepping on her 10-inch high heels to welcome him. He acted as if he was very familiar with Nangong Ye. In fact, they had only met a few times just because the parents of both parties had rubbed their faces.
Nangong Ye looked at her beautiful smile and lightly smiled, "Darling Qi Wen, why are you free to come to my house today?"
As for Wang Qi Wen, other than feeling a little annoyed when she was pestering him, she was fine with everything else. At the very least, she wasn't like the other women who were mainly greedy for the Nangong Family's status and position, because the Wang family had as much money as the Nangong family.
"Am I free everyday? I wanted to treat you to a meal, and thought that you were definitely not free again, so I decided to personally pay you a visit. " Wang Qi Wen never knew how to speak subtly, and her blinking eyes were bright.
Although she wasn't greedy for the Nangong family's money, but she was infatuated with Nangong Ye! This man was so handsome that he could drive people crazy, which woman didn't love him? That was why she kept pestering him and pestering him. What he wanted was for him to remember her ruthlessly. Unlike other beauties, it was just that the passing of time was gone in the blink of an eye!
Nangong Ye smiled and walked past her to stand beside the sofa. She politely greeted, "Hello, Madam Wang."
"En, sure. I haven't been to the Nangong family for a few days now. Sigh …" These past few days have been too busy. " As Madam Wang spoke, she sized up the tall and straight figure of the enchanting Nangong Ye. At the same time, she wondered why her daughter was so infatuated with this man.
Truth be told, she was not very supportive of her daughter following Nangong Ye. The reason for that was because her identity was truly too special. Although he had become the successor of the Nangong family, he was not Madame Nangong's biological son. Thus, he felt that it was a little strange.
The thing that frightened her the most was that the past and origin of the Nangong and Long Clans would most likely undergo some earth-shattering changes in the future. However, when she saw that Wang Qi Wen liked Nangong Ye so much, she could only support her and help her create all sorts of chances to get along with Nangong Ye.
"This child doesn't want to stick around. If you want him to come back, you have to invite him. Sigh!" Madam Nangong feigned sorrow as she shook her head and sighed, her eyes filled with endless love. Of course, she knew why Nangong Ye didn't like going home. However, who told her to think about the next successor of the Nangong family being born earlier?
She should be at ease if she was born earlier! The Nangong Family was always lacking in people, unlike the Long Family … When she thought of the Long family, the doting expression on Madam Nangong's face disappeared, replaced by a faint trace of jealousy.
Especially when she looked at Nangong Ye and saw how outstanding he was in all aspects, she felt even more unwell. Millions of feelings lingered in her heart. Sometimes do not know oneself should love him or should hate him, the two cannot always feel the most bitter!
"Mom, I'm sorry. I just came back from the United States. The company naturally has more things to do." Nangong Ye said apologetically. In front of outsiders, it was better not to spread the truth. In any case, he and Nangong Fu had long since come to an understanding.
"Young Master is back. May I ask if the Madam would like to have dinner first?" When Sister Bi who was walking out of the kitchen saw that Nangong Ye had returned, she turned towards Madam Nangong and politely asked.
"Yes, I'm starving." She did not take herself to be an outsider at all, dragging Nangong Ye over to the dining table. She laughed and pointed at the dishes the maids brought out, "Guess which ones were cooked by me. My cooking skills have improved, haha, you definitely can't guess." With that, he looked at Nangong Ye with confidence.
Nangong Ye swept her gaze over the dishes on the table and pointed to a pot of colourful stains that was relatively lacking. "This one."
"Eh? How do you know? " Wang Qiwen puffed up her cheeks and looked at Bee with suspicion. Sister Bi was so shocked that she quickly shook her head and waved her hands before she turned around and fled into the kitchen.
Nangong Ye cast a glance at her and unrestrainedly sneered, "There's no need to doubt me anymore. Beautiful women have such high water ratings that are hard to come by. Don't ask me such boring questions in the future, thank you."
"You're annoying. Is there anyone capable of making a fool out of you?" Even if she didn't cook well or taste good, would pretending to be delicious could kill her? Why do you have to hit her so hard!
