Chapter 21 Didn't you say you had no money?

"Okay, dinner will be served right away." Ye Qingning picked up the skateboard: "I'm going upstairs to take a shower, you can have some fruit to tide you over."

Without giving Lin Feiyan a chance to speak, he fled from the garden and into the house.

Lin Feiyan's gaze just now... looked like he wanted to devour her.

It seems that skateboarding at home won't be so safe anymore.

...

Half an hour later, Ye Qingning came downstairs. Lin Feiyan was watching TV in the living room. It was an interview with an entertainment company, and the interviewee was Lin Younan.

Ye Qingning remembered that Lin's Enterprises did indeed have an entertainment company, and Ye Qingxue was also a signed artist. Lin Younan gave her a lot of resources and promoted her.

The author seems to have planted a foreshadowing element in the early episodes, suggesting that Ye Qingxue will become a rival to the female protagonist in the novel.

Ye Qingning pondered for a moment, then the female protagonist of the novel must also be an artist.

In the interview, Lin Younan was speaking eloquently: "Our Lin family has the ability to make Linxing Entertainment an industry benchmark..."

Lin Feiyan gave a soft scoff, and casually turned his head to see Ye Qingning's gaze fixed on the television...

His gaze sharpened slightly, and his heart sank.

Didn't she clearly say that she wasn't interested in Lin Younan?

They're really enjoying watching it right now!

He simply raised his hand and turned off the TV, his voice cold: "Is dinner ready?"

Ye Qingning snapped out of her daze: "Ah, oh, I'll go right away."

With a swift movement of her pink figure, Ye Qingning headed straight for the kitchen.

Lin Feiyan narrowed his eyes, feeling inexplicably displeased.

Another pink outfit!

Did he ignore what he said?

...

After dinner, Lin Feiyan looked at Ye Qingning with a cool gaze and pointed to her casual clothes: "I told you before that you are not allowed to wear such bright colors in this house."

Ye Qingning paused in her work of clearing the dishes, frowning, "Mr. Lin, I already have enough freedom in this house, do you have to dictate what I wear?"

Not only can't we skateboard, we can't even wear whatever clothes we want.

She does have her principles, okay?

"Freedom?" Lin Feiyan scoffed. "What kind of freedom do you want?"

Ye Qingning said matter-of-factly, "The freedom to choose what to wear!"

"You can wear whatever you want when I'm not around."

The implication is that it's not allowed when he's around.

Ye Qingning opened her mouth, but her rebuttal turned into a resentful remark: "I only have a few clothes, I don't have money to buy more."

Lin Feiyan narrowed his eyes: "If I remember correctly, Miss Ye said a few days ago that she was rich and very generously refused the pocket money that others offered her."

Ye Qingning paused, her eyes shifted, and her tone became even softer: "I do have money, but that's money to supplement household expenses. You know how expensive women's clothes are, how could I bear to buy them!"

"I don't know," the man said indifferently.

"Don't know what?"

"I didn't know women's clothes were so expensive," the man reiterated.

Ye Qingning: "..."

She pursed her lips, her tone softening further, tinged with a hint of inexplicable grievance.

"Now that you know, I hope you won't bring this up again. I'm a married daughter now, like water spilled from a cup. I can't rely on my parents anymore, so I can only live off my savings."

Ye Qingning sniffed: "But we have such a big family to maintain, not to mention food, drink, and basic necessities, we also have to pay for water, electricity, gas, and property management fees..."

Lin Feiyan sighed and said, "Shut up."

He then turned his wheelchair around and left the restaurant.

Ye Qingning made a face behind his back, raising an eyebrow slightly.

This young lady is at least an actress, even if she's a third-rate one, her acting skills are absolutely top-notch.

Feeling cheerful, Ye Qingning hummed a song as she went upstairs, taking a bath while pondering her next plan.

Cooking proved to be a useful trick, but cooking alone might not be enough; she needs to start from other aspects.

For example, improving the home environment can help correct his aesthetic sense.

She was only dressed a little brightly, and he made sarcastic remarks about her. That's really going too far!

This urgently needs to change!

Thinking this, Ye Qingning checked her phone. The total balance of all her bank cards was nearly 500,000 yuan, enough to buy household items, bed sheets, and duvet covers.

So the next morning, Ye Qingning specially changed into a simple and elegant set of home clothes and asked Lin Feiyan if she could go to the mall.

"You don't like my clothes being too bright, right? I've thought about it and I'll respect your opinion."

She said with a pitiful look, "I'm going to buy some new clothes and some other things."

Lin Feiyan smirked coldly, "Didn't you say you had no money?"
