Chapter 102 No need to pretend anymore
Lin Feiyan's gaze lingered on her again as he asked, "I heard we have guests coming today?"
Speaking of this, Ye Qingning scoffed: "Lin Younan and Ye Qingxue are like two flies, buzzing around so annoyingly, I didn't even let them in."
Hearing Ye Qingning compare Lin Younan to a fly, Lin Feiyan was in a good mood. He nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. From now on, the house will not receive guests when I am not at home."
Ye Qingning nodded: "I know."
After all, this is Lin Feiyan's residence, so of course he has the final say in everything.
...
The next day was the day she had arranged to meet Ye Qingxue. After breakfast, Ye Qingning told Lin Feiyan, "Mr. Lin, I have to go out today and I probably won't be back until noon."
"Going to do what?"
"Ye Qingxue invited me to her coffee shop for a girls' get-together. Afterwards, I need to go to the university town to find a chef and return the things Jian Yan left at home to her."
Lin Feiyan nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
He raised his head, his eyes carrying a hint of warning: "Be careful, don't encounter any more mad dogs, and don't do anything heroic. You won't always be so lucky."
Ye Qingning wrinkled her nose: "I know."
After changing her clothes upstairs, Ye Qingning came downstairs with her bag on her back.
Lin Feiyan was sitting in the living room flipping through the newspaper when he saw her adjusting the sky-blue ribbon that matched her clothes, which was tied around her arm. He smiled and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I know your arm has recovered. You don't need to pretend anymore."
Ye Qingning paused, "Huh? How did you know?"
Lin Feiyan looked at her with his deep eyes: "I just found out."
Ye Qingning: "..."
Damn, I got tricked.
She walked timidly to the sofa, her fingers unconsciously twirling the ribbon: "I begged Chen Ci to get me the medicine... You won't hold it against him, will you?"
"That's between him and me." Lin Feiyan smiled, but his tone was cold: "You should be more concerned about yourself. Didn't you say you weren't allowed to lie to me?"
“I didn’t lie,” Ye Qingning argued. “You didn’t ask me about my arm, and besides, I told you the truth as soon as you asked me. I didn’t lie at all!”
As far as the eye could see, Ye Qingning's clear and flawless face showed a conflicted expression, her red lips were slightly pouted, and her teary eyes blinked as she looked at him.
So she was being affectionate with him?
This realization made Lin Feiyan raise an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? It seems I misunderstood you."
"That's not important... What's important is that I could recover faster so I could take better care of you, but why aren't you happy about it?"
A hint of confusion appeared in Ye Qingning's bright eyes, and her pretty little face became even more expressive.
Lin Feiyan suddenly laughed; when it comes to sophistry and flattery, she's always been good at it.
Isn't this the Ye Qingning we all know?
"Alright, let's go." Lin Feiyan didn't say much, and continued reading the newspaper with his eyes down.
Realizing that the man didn't seem any angrier, Ye Qingning felt a little relieved, casually tossed the ribbon onto the sofa, picked up her bag, and went out.
Ye Qingning was unaware that the moment she stepped out of the house, Lin Feiyan called Chen Chu and instructed him to suspend Chen Ci's research grant for one month.
Chen Chu didn't dare ask the reason, but only told Chen Ci the conclusion. Chen Ci immediately made a phone call to Lin Feiyan to apologize.
