Chapter 232 Lin Xueyao's Little Thoughts

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Shanghai?"

Lin Xueyao nuzzled her head against Ye Lan's chest like a kitten.

Ye Lan gently stroked Lin Xueyao's hair, her eyes full of affection, "I was thinking of telling you after the event."

"But I really miss you."

Lin Xueyao buried her head in her chest, her aggrieved voice like that of an abandoned child.

Their intimate actions drew the attention of everyone around them.

Zhou Ting glanced at Ning Caicai with some unease. Ning Caicai's eyes were gray, her gaze was dull, and her pupils were lifeless. Her whole body was like an empty shell, as if she had no soul.

Witnessing your beloved being intimate with another person of the opposite sex would make anyone feel heartbroken.

But Zhou Ting felt the same way.

However, she was a few years older than Ning Caicai, so she was more open-minded about many things. Moreover, her feelings for Ye Lan were always indecisive.

Ning Caicai is different.

Ye Lan held a very important place in Ning Caicai's heart. Any action Ye Lan took was like a boulder crashing into Ning Caicai's heart, easily disturbing her heartstrings.

To like someone, but have to watch them like someone else, is undoubtedly the cruelest thing in the world.

"Alright, there are so many people watching. If you look like this with tears streaming down your face, people will think I'm bullying you."

"Hmph, you're just bullying me."

Lin Xueyao pouted and wiped away the tears from the corners of Tao Hua's eyes, leaving a faint tear stain.

Looking up at Ye Lan, she couldn't help but smile with delight.

“Miss, it’s improper for you to be all lovey-dovey and hugging in the street.” An elderly man in a gray suit stood straight and sharp beside Lin Xueyao.

Lin Xueyao rolled her eyes and reluctantly let go of Ye Lan's arm.

She simply shoved her tiny, bun-sized hand into Ye Lan's palm.

"Lin Lao, how have you been?" Ye Lan greeted the old man with a kind smile.

"I never expected that young brother Ye Lan would know me. I am deeply honored."

Old Master Lin nodded slightly and returned the greeting.

Looking at Lin Xueyao's genuine smile, Old Master Lin felt a pang of regret that his daughter was no longer with him.

Lin Xueyao's biological father frequently travels abroad, and her stepmother dislikes her. As the housekeeper, Old Master Lin is basically the person who spends the most time with Lin Xueyao.

Logically speaking, a child born into a family like Ye Lan's would have no chance of marrying into such a prestigious family as the Lin family.

After all, the most important thing in marriage among the wealthy and noble is to be well-matched in terms of social status, as only in this way can the family continue to expand.

But when he told Lin Dongsheng about it, the other party didn't care at all.

He also stated that his daughter's happiness should be decided by herself.

This statement sounds quite enlightened, but to someone like Old Lin who has lived most of his life, it carries a different meaning.

My main account is useless now, so I'll focus on leveling up my alt account.

As mentioned before, Lin Dongsheng arranged for Lin Xueyao to marry a stepmother, and they had a son together!

In other words, Lin Xueyao has gained a younger brother, and now she has another competitor in terms of inheritance.

Looking at Lin Dongsheng's attitude, it's clear that he wants to groom Lin Xueyao's younger brother as his successor. If this happens, and Lin Xueyao doesn't marry into a good family and loses her family's support, she'll likely suffer for the rest of her life.

This is also the main reason why Old Lin dislikes Ye Lan.

Old Lin's deep gaze swept over Zhou Ting, Ning Caicai, and Ye Wanying in turn, while he secretly grumbled to himself.

"Hmph, bringing three beautiful women with him to an event, he's definitely no good!"

"I booked the presidential suite, why don't you sleep with me tonight?" Lin Xueyao said, holding Ye Lan's hand, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Seeing how Lin Xueyao gave away her prize so easily, Old Man Lin felt exhausted and wished he could take ten thousand nitroglycerin pills.

Xu Zhiqiang and the others stared wide-eyed, their expressions of shock evident. They tilted their ears, wondering if they had misheard.

Ye Lan coughed twice, trying to cover up her embarrassment. "How can that be? A man and a woman alone in a room, it's like dry wood meeting a raging fire. If I lose control and do something outrageous, I'll be in deep trouble."

Upon hearing this, Old Lin's expression softened.

Luckily you didn't push your luck, otherwise I would have broken your legs.

Ning Caicai and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Only Ye Wanying looked angrily at her brother, her expression so intense that she seemed to want to agree on Ye Lan's behalf.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xueyao raised her head and said innocently, "Don't be shy, it's not the first time anyway."

━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━

As soon as the words were spoken, the group froze, as if lightning was falling from the sky, and they slowly cracked apart.

Ning Caicai was utterly heartbroken. She clearly remembered that after Ye Lan left that day, she had a faint fragrance about her.

It turned out that the fragrance came from Lin Xueyao.

After glancing at Lin Xueyao's flawless beauty and then at the multi-million dollar stretch Lincoln, Ning Caicai felt that she had absolutely no hope of winning.

Old Lin's heartbroken expression was even more comical, and he was extremely agitated, asking, "Miss, when did you sleep with this guy?"

Lin Xueyao thought back carefully, "When I went to Jiangcheng last month, I stayed in a hotel because I was out shopping, eating and playing too late."

"Two people sharing a hotel room?"

"Yes!"

"Ye Lan!!!"

Seeing Old Man Lin's anger level continue to rise, Ye Lan was so frightened that she started to stutter.

"If I told you that she said she was afraid to sleep alone, and that she was staying in a standard hotel room, would you still not believe me?"

Ye Lan stammered as she recounted what had happened.

But no one present was willing to believe him.

After all, Lin Xueyao is so beautiful that it's hard to believe that Ye Lan could remain chaste.

Ye Wanying gave a thumbs up in admiration, thinking to herself that her brother had already found her a sister-in-law, but he just didn't tell her.

Ye Lan realized at that moment that he was now like mud that had fallen into his crotch—even if it wasn't shit, it was still shit.

He lowered his head in frustration.

Then I caught a glimpse of Lin Xueyao covering her mouth and chuckling.

Ye Lan immediately realized that this was all a scheme orchestrated by Lin Xueyao, and promptly gave her a flick on the forehead.

"Ouch."

Lin Xueyao clutched her head in pain, her big eyes welling up with tears as she stared at Ye Lan with a pitiful expression.

"You, Lin Xueyao, how dare you slander me."

"Oh, don't be angry. I really did arrange presidential suites for you. Don't you want to experience it?"

The group immediately became interested and clamored to experience it, so they got into Lin Xueyao's family's extended Lincoln.

However, some people don't go.

Ning Caicai and Zhou Ting!
