Chapter 12: Just a Little Accident

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He Corporation, in the CEO’s office.

“CEO He, I don’t understand why you want to work with this small company?” The assistant was puzzled.

Although the Qinyu Group’s proposal was not bad, this group’s capital chain was extremely poor. Even if they had a proposal, it was not a suitable company to work with.

Moreover, there was no need for CEO He to interfere in such a small business.

The man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window traced the signboard of the Ye Corporation with his finger and smiled.

“This corporation is naturally ordinary, but I’ve heard an interesting piece of news about its new owner. This cooperation might be useful in the future.”

Lin Wanmeng knew nothing about these stories.

She rushed to the company and Zhou Quan came up to her excitedly to tell her that not only had the other party signed the contract readily, but he had also compensated her with a high price.

With Yueming’s investment, at least Qinyu had a project that could sustain their internal development.

Lin Wanmeng read all the contracts nervously and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming the terms.

However, she was still a little puzzled. “I remember that we didn’t release the proposal to Yueming Corporation. Why would they suddenly help us?”

Lin Wanmeng knew that there was no such thing as a free deal in business.

Zhou Quan clearly had some doubts about this. However, a small company like theirs, whether it was Yueming or the corporation behind them, was no match for them. They could only be careful.

“However, according to their supervisor, the CEO of the corporation took a fancy to this order and personally decided on it.”

The president of the corporation… Ye Lingxiao’s figure suddenly flashed before Lin Wanmeng’s eyes. In the end, she shook her head firmly.

Ye Lingxiao was not interested in this proposal. The boss behind the scenes had been in the business world for so many years. It was impossible for him to not have a keen eye.

However, this was a good medicine that could save the company. Even if it was a trap, Lin Wanmeng had to try.

At this moment, Zhou Quan suddenly noticed that Lin Wanmeng’s clothes were different from the ones she wore yesterday. Her hair was also a little messy.

At the thought of the rumors about CEO Yu, his breathing instantly became tense. “CEO Lin, what exactly happened yesterday?”

Lin Wanmeng saw the look in Zhou Quan’s eyes and knew what he was worried about. She quickly waved her hand. “It’s nothing. It was just an accident.”

Recalling yesterday’s memories, Lin Wanmeng felt nauseous and casually asked about the other party’s condition. However, she found out that the other party was still lying unconscious in the hospital.

How could this be? Yesterday, she attacked him with a bottle of wine. She had clearly hit his thigh. How could she have fainted?

So… Ye Lingxiao was the one who did the rest?

Lin Wanmeng pursed her lips with mixed feelings.

At this moment, Lin Wanmeng’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Ye Lingxiao.

“You have to accompany me on a business trip to Xiaocheng for the next three days.”

Ye Lingxiao sounded furious. Lin Wanmeng was also confused.

However, she had just received a contract. It was not good for her to leave for no reason.

Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Ye Lingxiao say, “Grandma said that there’s a family heirloom in Xiaocheng that she left for her granddaughter-in-law. Her granddaughter-in-law and grandson have to go and get it together.”

“Coincidentally, I’m going to Xiaocheng. Grandma asked me to bring you along.”

It turned out that Old Madam Ye was threatening him. No wonder Ye Lingxiao was furious yet helpless.

He must be regretting taking this call about work at home.

However, the Qinyu Company was busy. Even if Lin Wanmeng wanted to free her hand and accompany him, she was powerless.

“I’m sorry. I still have work to do at the company. Please apologize to Grandma for me.”

The other party was silent for a moment, as if he did not expect such an answer. Then, Ye Lingxiao’s voice sounded again, “If I tell her, no matter what evidence I produce, Grandma will definitely think that I’m threatening you.”

He paused for a moment. “I’ll make sure that nothing goes wrong with your company.”

Upon hearing Ye Lingxiao’s words, Lin Wanmeng felt a little embarrassed to refuse. However, to be honest, she did not want to go out alone with a man who she had just slept with.

However, she still had to keep the position of Madam Ye. Moreover, Old Madam Ye was the only person in the Ye family who treated her well. Lin Wanmeng did not want to reject her.

Zhou Quan echoed softly, “President Lin has been busy with these things recently. Now that the order has been placed, I can be in-charge of normal production, why don’t you go and rest? Just treat it as a vacation.”

Lin Wanmeng thought for a moment. It was only three days anyway, so nothing big should happen. She agreed to Ye Lingxiao’s request without hesitation.

“Grandma even asked you to come back for dinner tonight. Remember to be there at seven o’clock sharp.”

Ye Lingxiao was usually busy, so he hung up after finishing his sentence.

Lin Wanmeng felt a little helpless. After going to the company with Zhou Quan for an inspection, she went to the Ye family as promised.

Old Madam Ye was thrilled with Lin Wanmeng’s arrival and affectionately pulled her to her side.

Surprisingly, there was no one else in the house today. She and Ye Lingxiao looked at each other and sat on both sides of the table.

The three of them could not help but feel a little lonely when they ate. However, under Old Madam Ye’s constant laughter, the atmosphere seemed to be harmonious.

When it was time to sleep, Lin Wanmeng thought that she was going back to the villa. Unexpectedly, the old madam interrupted her. “You and Ye Lingxiao can stay here today.”

Less than 12 hours had passed since yesterday’s incident. Lin Wanmeng suddenly looked up. The soreness in her waist and thighs from the day before was still lingering.

“I’m going to sleep in the guest room,” Ye Lingxiao replied immediately. He was faster than Lin Wanmeng.

Old Madam Ye: “The guest rooms are full.”

Ye Lingxiao’s gaze slowly met Old Madam Ye’s. The two of them were tit for tat, and neither was willing to back down.

“What about the first floor?”

“There’s someone.”

“The utility room.”

“It’s full.”

The argument between the two was decided by Old Madam Ye. “There’s only one room today. You and Mengmeng have to stay together. You still have to go on a business trip tomorrow morning. Go quickly.”

If they had not slept together, they could still bear it if they slept on the same bed. However, although what happened last night was ridiculous, it was already the truth.

Neither Ye Lingxiao nor Lin Wanmeng wanted to have physical contact with the other party.

The two of them returned to the room in silence. They looked at each other and quickly looked away.

“I’ll go get a few more pillows.” Ye Lingxiao’s face darkened. Although he could not disobey Old Madam Ye and really sleep separately from Lin Wanmeng, he could still do something to the bed.

Soon, a row of pillow walls divided the bed into two. Each person got one half, It was very fair.

Lin Wanmeng’s eyebrows twitched. This seemed like something only a child would do.

However, it was good that she did not have to feel the warmth and breathing of the person beside her.

However, Lin Wanmeng soon realized that she was wrong.

Memories of last night kept reverberating in his mind. The environment was terrifyingly quiet, and she could even hear the heartbeat of the person opposite her clearly.

She recalled that the close trembles on her were like the beating of the other party’s heart. Every pant encouraged shyness and blushing.
