Chapter 151 Call her Mrs.
Sensing the man's intentions, Ye Qingning's breath caught in her throat for a moment. Reason told her to run away, but a strange sense of anticipation and excitement stirred within her.
Seeing the man's increasingly close features, seeing his long, trembling eyelashes in his deep eyes...
Ye Qingning's heart was beating faster and faster when suddenly a voice shouted in her mind.
"Ye Qingning, you can't! The male lead belongs to the female lead!"
She suddenly came to her senses, pushed Lin Feiyan away, and then got up from him: "I, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."
After saying that, she fled the restaurant as if she were escaping, rushing up the stairs and quickly disappearing from Lin Feiyan's sight.
Lin Feiyan lowered his eyes and smiled, his index finger gently tracing the corner of his lips. He was almost able to taste those captivating lips.
It was so close.
...
Ye Qingning returned to her room and buried her head in the pillow; her entire face was burning.
Thinking about the man's approach and intentions just now, she was completely at a loss.
Why would Lin Feiyan suddenly make such intimate gestures? Isn't he always so critical of her?
It's her own fault!
Why would she suddenly touch the man's hair? Every single hair on the man's body belongs to the female lead!
But what was that sudden feeling of anticipation in her heart just now?
Ye Qingning, even though you've never been in a relationship, you absolutely must never touch your best friend's man!
Ye Qingning angrily pounded the bed for a long time, and secretly vowed that she could be nice to men in the future, but she must be careful about the limits!
In addition, the plan to advance the relationship between the male and female leads needs to be expedited.
We really can't afford to delay!
...
The next morning, Aunt Qin came to work at the house, and Ye Qingning, who was playing on a skateboard in the garden, welcomed her into the house.
Xiao Cui was watering the flowers when she saw Aunt Qin coming over and greeted her: "Hello Aunt Qin, I'm Xiao Cui. You can just call me Xiao Cui. I'm a versatile maid. I can do everything except cook. I can also help the kitchen with things like chopping vegetables."
Aunt Qin was delighted to see that she was articulate, simply dressed, and very hardworking: "Okay, we'll be colleagues from now on."
Xiao Cui led Aunt Qin to the room, while Ye Qingning went straight into the kitchen.
Aunt Qin is new here and needs time to adjust, so she can naturally make this breakfast.
The mushroom and meat filling was prepared last night, as was the dough. All I need to do is wrap it up and steam it.
So when Lin Feiyan followed the aroma downstairs, he saw three women chatting and laughing in the kitchen, looking quite happy.
He seemed particularly unfamiliar to everyone.
Lin Feiyan coughed lightly. Ye Qingning was the first to react. When she saw the man's handsome features, her heart trembled again, and she suddenly remembered the unsuccessful kiss from last night.
She looked away and introduced Aunt Qin, "Aunt Qin, this is our boss, Mr. Lin."
Aunt Qin greeted him very respectfully: "Hello Mr. Lin, I am Zhong Qin, the new chef. You can call me Aunt Qin or Old Zhong, just like they do."
Lin Feiyan nodded, his expression unusually warm: "Yes, Aunt Qin, hello."
Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Miss Ye made the steamed buns for breakfast today. From now on, I will be in charge of all three meals a day in the mansion."
Noticing that Aunt Qin looked a little nervous, Ye Qingning quickly comforted her, "It's okay, Aunt Qin, our boss is a very nice person."
Lin Feiyan's fingers twirled lightly, his cool gaze falling on Ye Qingning: "You said I'm your boss?"
Ye Qingning was taken aback for a moment: "Huh? Yeah, that's right."
Lin Feiyan chuckled: "I think you need to reaffirm your identity. You are the mistress of the Lin residence, and my wife, Lin Feiyan."
The man's brows held a serious expression, and his refined features appeared even more gentle with a smile at the corner of his lips.
Every word and phrase was spoken with utmost seriousness.
After saying this, ignoring Ye Qingning's bewildered expression, Lin Feiyan's gaze fell on Aunt Qin and Xiao Cui again: "From now on, you should also change your way of addressing her and call her Madam."
Aunt Qin and Xiao Cui quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Lin."
Xiao Cui chuckled to herself, remembering how Mr. Lin had made her change the way he addressed her with a sour face, but Miss Ye had managed to change it back.
It seems the Lin family's fortunes are about to rise.
In that instant, Lin Feiyan's wheelchair turned and headed straight for the study.
Ye Qingning scratched his head. What's going on?
After hesitating for a moment, she instructed Aunt Qin and Xiao Cui to prepare breakfast and then went to Lin Feiyan's study by herself.
She knocked on the door, and a deep male voice came from inside: "Come in."
Ye Qingning pursed her lips and pushed the door open to go inside.
The man sat on the edge of the bed directly opposite the door, the morning sunlight slanting down on him, making him look exceptionally handsome and refined in his white shirt and black trousers.
Ye Qingning's heartbeat suddenly went off-beat. She felt a little disgusted with her current state, as if she had betrayed Jian Yan and her dreams.
So she spoke up decisively: "Mr. Lin, why do you have Aunt Qin and Xiao Cui call me Madam? I am just someone who takes care of you in this house. My status is no different from theirs. This will create a distance between me and them, which is not conducive to the warmth and harmony in this house."
"The one who takes care of me?" Lin Feiyan raised an eyebrow. "Is this how you see yourself?"
“Yes.” Ye Qingning nodded: “I made it very clear from the day I moved into this house that I would take good care of you…”
“But you seem to be my lawfully wedded wife,” Lin Feiyan reiterated.
Ye Qingning opened her mouth: "Back then, you were unwilling and I was not, so it can't be considered a proper marriage."
Lin Feiyan's eyes narrowed, and his aura gradually turned cold: "If I remember correctly, your explanation was that you jumped off a building because you were so excited when you first saw me because I was too handsome..."
"Didn't you not believe it?"
"So you mean you were lying back then?" Lin Feiyan scoffed. "Who was it that swore to me yesterday that everything they told me was the truth!"
Ye Qingning was taken aback, and she also keenly sensed the coldness hidden between the man's brows and eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. She herself didn't know which of the things she said at the Lin residence were true and which were false.
If we really start to nitpick, then all the goodwill she had built up before would probably disappear completely.
Can't!
Absolutely not!
Ye Qingning would not allow such a thing to happen.
So what if she's called "wife"? What's the big deal? Anyway, she doesn't get any of the perks that belong to the female lead.
Her mind raced, and she lowered her eyes to avoid Lin Feiyan's gaze, her voice weak: "Mr. Lin, please don't be angry... The reason I don't want them to call me 'wife' is because... I don't actually have much money left. Since they call me 'wife,' they'll definitely ask me for household expenses in the future... I, I really have no money left."
Lin Feiyan could no longer distinguish whether her words were true or false, but he didn't want to.
He pulled out the black card he had once given her from his wallet and handed it to her: "Here's your card, use it however you like."
