CHAPTER 188: CHAPTER 188: DID I ASK YOU?

Realizing what she was thinking, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Was she possessed today? She actually felt a sense of security being in his arms.

Standing by the side, Jiang Yue saw Beichen Rui approaching and noticed his intimate actions with Ye Xinluo, feeling full of resentment.

"Young Master Chen..."

Before she could say anything, Beichen Rui glanced over, and she immediately fell silent.

"Did I ask you?" His voice rang out coldly, completely unlike how he spoke to Ye Xinluo.

She felt extremely wronged.

Catching a glimpse of someone walking towards them, a glimmer appeared in her eyes.

"Uncle."

Jiang Zhengguo glanced at her cheek, "What’s going on?"

Thinking that her savior had arrived, Jiang Yue spoke up with grievance, "Uncle, it’s not..." that little b*tch who hit her.

She didn’t finish her sentence, but cast a venomous glance at Ye Xinluo.

Following her gaze, he saw the woman in Beichen Rui’s arms, his eyes flickered with a trace of unusual emotion.

He roughly understood what had happened.

Not wanting to offend Beichen Rui, he had no choice but to say, "Yueyue, hurry and apologize to Miss Ye."

Jiang Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Is this still her uncle?

Why is he siding with outsiders!!!

She gritted her teeth, unwilling to lower her head.

Jiang Zhengguo furrowed his brows, angrily shouting, "Quickly."

In Jiang Yue’s generation, it was just her and Jiang Shihan, two girls, who were spoiled usually.

Having just dealt with his daughter’s matter, now his niece was causing trouble too.

Jiang Yue’s body shook, almost collapsing. She was usually afraid of this uncle, much like now.

Unwillingly, she took two steps forward and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "I’m sorry."

She wanted to bite her tongue off, since she rarely apologized to anyone!

...

After a while, Beichen Rui, expressionless, took Ye Xinluo’s hand and walked towards the door.

From beginning to end, Lan Shan’s attention was on them. Seeing the two leave, she couldn’t figure out what she was thinking.

After Beichen Rui led her out, they got into the car. He told the driver, "Marine Garden," and then fell silent.

Ye Xinluo sat by the side, turned her head, and looked out the window. In the rush to leave, she didn’t have time to say goodbye to Lan Shan.

She took out her phone from her bag and sent a message to Lan Shan.

[I’m heading back first, see you at the office tomorrow.]

After a while, Lan Shan replied with a simple message, only one word: [Okay].

The car drove silently; neither of them spoke. The atmosphere felt a bit stifling, but she couldn’t find a topic to talk about, so she simply turned to look out the window.

The car arrived at the entrance of Marine Garden. After Ye Xinluo thanked him, she opened the door and got out, walking towards the residential area.

She thought she would be back very late tonight, but didn’t expect to return so soon.

Inside the car, Beichen Rui leaned back in the rear seat.

"Young Master, do you want to go back to the banquet?"

"No need, go home."

Since they’d already left, there was no point in going back. Besides, he didn’t like attending banquets anyway.

...

Ye Xinluo returned home, changed out of her clothes, and took her pajamas to the bathroom.

After taking a bath, she dried her hair with a hairdryer and then sat on the bed playing with her phone.

She glanced at the time, it was just after eight.

Opening her contacts, she slid her finger a few times to find Gong Shaoyu’s number, and hit dial.

Since he left that time, she hadn’t been able to reach him. She wondered how he’d been recently.
