CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126

Xiao Linye showed not the slightest intention of contradicting. Instead, he nodded seriously. "Mm, my fault."

"I thought it was because of your father’s matter. I was really at fault back then, too impulsive."

"That matter is in the past now," Xiao Linye said indifferently.

Though he said this, the thought of the current situation at the old Xiao family residence gave him a headache.

This morning, his fifth sister had called, saying the old man wanted to go to Shanyu Pavilion again.

Ye Yuning didn’t see the flicker of irritation that passed across his brow. After thinking it over, she said, "I was thinking, if you’re free this weekend, how about we take a trip to Lingcheng together?"

"What? You want to go to Lingcheng?"

"I saw your father was really angry at the time. I think it’s necessary to apologize in person."

Tang Xi had said that Xiao Linye treated her well, so she should be accommodating with his family.

No matter what she really thought, when it came to social niceties, she still needed to present a decent facade.

However, since it was Xiao Linye, she didn’t mind that much. She hadn’t felt repulsed when Tang Xi brought it up.

She even felt that it was time to find an opportunity to apologize in person.

Xiao Linye hadn’t expected her to have such a thought. He was taken aback for a moment, the irritation in his eyes dissipating as he looked at her even more tenderly.

But the thought of her going to Lingcheng gave him a headache.

"You don’t need to put yourself through this."

"It’s no bother, not at all. After all, your father knows I’m your wife now. It would be really improper not to pay a visit."

If his father didn’t know she was married to Xiao Linye, she wouldn’t have to go out of her way to seek trouble.But the current situation was obviously different.Offending her future father-in-law at their very first meeting was really not good.

Without waiting for Xiao Linye to speak, Ye Yuning continued, "How about this? I’ll make time to buy some gifts. What does your father like?"

With a son like Xiao Linye, they definitely had no issues regarding food and clothing.So her gifts definitely couldn’t be related to clothing.

Xiao Linye said, "No need to go."

"I should go, I really should," Ye Yuning insisted.

Sometimes men are too casual, saying it doesn’t matter, but in reality, they’re just laying the groundwork for future problems in the relationship.Tang Xi had explained all this to her clearly over the phone.

Xiao Shuo and Ye Tong were going to the restaurant to dine, but as they approached the entrance, Xiao Shuo saw Ye Yuning having dinner with Xiao Linye again.

This scared him so much that he immediately retreated from the entrance!

Ye Tong bumped directly into his back, covering her nose in pain. "You, what are you doing?"

Xiao Shuo whispered, "Shh! Is that... Uncle Seven?"

"With Ye Yuning again?"

Ye Tong’s breath hitched.

Surprise showed on her face as she tried to peer inside the restaurant, but before she could see clearly, Xiao Shuo dragged her away.

Xiao Shuo felt like he had seen a ghost. Why did he always encounter Uncle Seven and Ye Yuning together lately?How many times had the two of them dined together already?Especially since Uncle Seven had only just returned! How could Ye Yuning be so close to him already? This woman was truly capable!

They didn’t stop until they reached the underground garage. Xiao Shuo was breathing heavily.

Clearly, his hasty escape had taken its toll.

"You should avoid that woman for now," Xiao Shuo said to Ye Tong after a moment’s thought.

Ye Tong asked, "Why is she always with your Uncle Seven? Could she be seducing him?"

What was this supposed to mean?Failing to become Xiao Shuo’s wife, she’s now aiming to become his aunt?If that was the case, wasn’t Ye Yuning too malicious?

When Xiao Shuo heard this, he stiffened, a forced laugh escaping him. "She... she wouldn’t dare!"

"What wouldn’t she dare? What vile thing hasn’t she done before?"

Ye Tong became even more convinced of her suspicions.

Hearing her speak so assuredly, Xiao Shuo couldn’t help but believe it too.

After all, what despicable things hadn’t Ye Yuning done before? Accusing her of robbery and plunder wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

"That woman!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Shuo was instantly incensed.

How could Uncle Seven fall for that kind of woman? And one he himself had rejected!

Ye Tong said, "She’s shameless. If she really becomes your aunt, will you have any good days ahead?"

She’s already so vengeful now. If she really hooked up with Seventh Master, wouldn’t Ye Yuning be able to lord it over everyone in Upper City?

The thought made Ye Tong’s heart clench with anxiety.

Xiao Shuo’s expression was even darker. "I will not let her marry Uncle Seven. She shouldn’t even dream of it."

"Do you have a plan?" Ye Tong asked.

Clearly, she didn’t want Ye Yuning to marry Seventh Master either. If that happened, she would suffer as well.How could that woman be so capable?She had only just broken off her engagement with Xiao Shuo, and now she was already entangled with Seventh Master Xiao!

A sinister glint flashed in Xiao Shuo’s eyes. "She’s so cunning. Uncle Seven must be unaware of her true identity. She’s definitely keeping him in the dark."

So, as long as he revealed Ye Yuning’s true identity to Uncle Seven, then no matter how capable she was, she couldn’t possibly marry him.His Uncle Seven was the most outstanding member of the Xiao Family. How could he possibly want a woman that someone else had discarded?
