Why did Xia Wan dislike her from the moment she arrived at the law firm? It turns out that since she came to work there, she and Xiao Chen would inevitably have a lot of work-related communication, and Xia Wan probably misunderstood.

Thinking this, Ye Xinning asked Ye Xiaoxiao, "And then? What happened next?"

When faced with Attorney Xia's confession, President Xiao only said one sentence: "You're too impulsive."

"Too impulsive? Didn't you say anything?"

"No, I can't really tell Mr. Xiao's attitude."

"How is Attorney Xia?"

Xia Wan has always been a strong-willed person, so this incident must have been a huge blow to her. I wonder how she is doing now.

"That's not good. She ran out after saying those words."

"They ran out?"

"Um."

Ye Xinning crossed her arms, looking somewhat worried. Xia Wan was agitated; she wondered if something might happen to her.

Ye Xinning thought for a moment, then got up.

Ye Xiaoxiao watched as she arrived and was about to leave again, wondering what it meant.

"Sis, where are you going?"

"I'll go find Xiao Chen."

Ye Xiaoxiao was shocked and tried to persuade him, "Sister, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to go see President Xiao at this time?"

Ye Xinning shook her head silently and patted Ye Xiaoxiao's head. "What are you thinking? I've never had those kinds of feelings for President Xiao, and President Xiao doesn't even look at me like that."

"But Mr. Xiao seems to really like you, sister."

"illusion."

After saying this, Ye Xinning walked towards Xiao Chen's office.

Knock on the door, and Xiao Chen's voice came from inside, "President Xiao."

When Xiao Chen saw her arrive, he gestured for her to sit down.

"I heard it from Ye Xiaoxiao."

Xiao Chen chuckled and joked, "It spread so quickly?"

Ye Xinning thought for a moment and then asked, "Have I caused you any trouble?"

Why do you say that?

“Xia Wan’s place.”

Xiao Chen waved his hand dismissively, "Jiahe's project was already decided to be given to you; it's just that she couldn't get over it herself."

That's not what I meant.

What is that?

Xia Wan likes you.

"Um."

Xiao Chen responded, and seeing Ye Xinning staring at him without saying a word, he immediately understood something. "So, you came to see me about this?"

Ye Xinning remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Xiao Chen smiled, then immediately understood, "Are you worried that I like you?"

"Does Mr. Xiao like it?"

"I used to like him."

Ye Xinning was surprised. She could talk to Xiao Chen naturally before, but when she heard Xiao Chen say that he had really liked her, her expression almost froze.

"Mr. Xiao isn't joking, is he?"

Seeing how nervous she was, Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Alright, I already said that was in the past. I don't like it now."

Ye Xinning breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her relieved expression, Xiao Chen feigned hurt and said, "Aren't you going to ask me why I don't like you?"

"I don't like it, I don't like it." She blurted out without thinking, the reason not mattering.

Xiao Chen, "..."

Seeing that Xiao Chen's expression was not good, Ye Xinning had a headache, but she forced herself to explain, "That's not what I meant, President Xiao."

Xiao Chen gestured for her to stop talking.

"Actually, when you first came here, I was indeed attracted to you. You have strong professional skills and unique ideas. Most of your cases coincide with my own, and I admire your work ability. But not long after, news broke that you married Shen Lin and that person from the Huo family. You know I'm used to being lazy, so I think I'd better not get involved in such a crowded relationship. From a certain perspective, it's not bad to be your colleague."

Xiao Chen spoke very clearly, and it was this unreserved honesty that made Ye Xinning feel much less uncomfortable.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Thank goodness Xiao Chen didn't like her, otherwise, seeing him arguing with Xia Wan now, she would have to start reflecting on her own problems again.

"So, it seems that my dislike for you makes you quite happy?"

Ye Xinning awkwardly touched her nose. "No, no, that's not what I meant."

"Alright, you don't need to hide so much from me."

Ye Xinning pointed towards the door, "Then I'm leaving."

"I thought you were going to continue talking about Xia Wan."

"It's enough that I understand this matter has nothing to do with me. Since it has nothing to do with me, I don't need to feel guilty. As for Jiahe... I have no right to resist the work arrangements. If I have to take responsibility for even such work arrangements, wouldn't I be too much of a saint?"

Xiao Chen's eyes were full of smiles. "As expected, this is the real you."

Ye Xinning smiled, said nothing more, opened the door and left.

Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao spent the entire day organizing documents together at the law firm without leaving the office.

Later in the afternoon, her phone rang.

Ye Xinning picked it up and saw that it was Wen Yu.

"Aunt Wen." She answered the phone, her voice soft and gentle.

"Miss, I'm back. Are you busy? If not, let's meet up."

"No rush, Aunt Wen, where are you? I'll come find you."

Wen Yu gave an address, and Ye Xinning nodded, "Aunt Wen is waiting for me there."

"Yes, Miss, please drive carefully on the road."

"good."

...

Upon arriving at the location, Ye Xinning pushed open the door and went inside. In the coffee shop, a woman was sitting by the window. The woman looked very young, only about thirty years old.
