Chapter 22: Chapter 22

The Qin Family was now desperate to tear the Ye Family apart.

Mrs. Qin was even more infuriated, rattling off a barrage of angry words at Zheng Cai.

"Listen up, Zheng! Today’s wedding is happening no matter what. You must find us another bride for our Qin Family right now!"

Zheng Cai’s face turned deathly pale.

Seething with internal rage, she kept placating, "Mrs. Qin, please listen to me. I’ve already sent someone to find her. Rest assured, the wedding will definitely take place today."

"Find whom? I don’t want your so-called adopted daughter! Our Qin Family won’t accept a woman who’s been married before!"

If not Ye Yuning, then who does she want?

Ye Tong’s complexion was ashen as she looked at Mrs. Qin.

At this moment, she finally understood Ye Yuning’s scheme.

Thinking of the word ’congratulations’ in that Weibo post of hers, was she waiting here for me?

This bitch, dragging me down with her!

Zheng Cai’s hesitation further enraged Mrs. Qin, who launched into another impassioned tirade.

Amid the chaos, Ye Tong was somehow shoved to the ground. Xiao Shuo tried to protect her, but he too was trampled and couldn’t get up.

Xiao Linye didn’t even spare them a glance, let alone help, and simply walked away as if it were none of his concern.

Lai Shuo had initially considered saying something, but seeing Xiao Linye leave, he quickly followed suit.

The wedding venue was in complete disarray.

Ye Yuning’s phone was about to explode with calls.

Yet, amid such chaos, she was nonchalantly exchanging WeChat messages with Xiao Linye.

When he messaged that he was coming back soon, she immediately asked, "Should I go to Sam’s Supermarket downstairs to buy some groceries? What should I buy?"

Cooking was hardly her forte.

Although she used to cook for herself when living in the countryside.

But her culinary skills were nothing impressive to Xiao Linye, practically pig slop. Better not even think about it.

Xiao Linye replied quickly, "Do you want fish? Or beef?"

Ye Yuning: "Either is fine with me."

Xiao Linye: "Let’s go with fish then."

Ye Yuning: "Okay!"

After replying, Ye Yuning shut her laptop, changed into a floral dress, and left the house.

As soon as she got into the elevator, Chen Wei called. "Miss Ye, will you be coming to the studio this afternoon?"

Chen Wei’s voice, even over the phone, was unable to conceal her amusement; she had clearly seen the related reports!

Every time Ye Yuning dealt with Zheng Cai, they couldn’t be happier.

Ye Yuning: "Of course! Why wouldn’t I come?"

With the Xiao Corporation’s matters looming, and the Ye and Qin Families in such a mess, she was incredibly stressed!

How did the Xiao Corporation end up with a living King Yama in charge? So difficult to handle!

"Yay!"

Chen Wei hung up, clearly in a good mood.

Sam’s Supermarket had a wide variety of goods, and Ye Yuning headed straight for the seafood section.

Xiao Linye had only mentioned buying fish but hadn’t specified which kind.

Faced with all sorts of fish, Ye Yuning hesitated, then decided to call him.

Soon, the man’s magnetic voice came over the phone, "What’s up?"

Ye Yuning: "What kind of fish should I buy?"

Xiao Linye: "If you want something spicy, get a grass carp. If you prefer something milder, buy a sea bass or turbot."

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up, Ye Yuning decisively bought a grass carp. Then, realizing Xiao Linye seemed to prefer milder dishes, she unhesitatingly bought a sea bass as well.

The store clerk asked if she wanted them cut, and if so, how. Ye Yuning was at a loss again!

She had no choice but to call Xiao Linye again. He picked up, "What is it?"

Despite her messages and now consecutive calls, the man on the other end showed no sign of annoyance.

Ye Yuning asked, a little embarrassed, "How should they be cut?"

She wasn’t a complete novice in the kitchen, but since she didn’t know how Xiao Linye planned to cook them, she had to ask.

Xiao Linye: "Don’t cut them. I need them whole."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Ye Yuning told the staff member not to cut them. The staff member nodded, then cleaned the fish and packed them in a bag.

As she was coming out of the supermarket, she saw Xiao Linye getting out of his Passat.

He must have been worried after her two calls and decided to come over directly.

Xiao Linye also saw her. She was carrying a moderately sized shopping bag.

Because she was rather petite, she had to bend her wrist slightly while carrying the bag to prevent it from dragging on the ground.

He strode over to her and effortlessly took the bag from her hand. "Did you get everything?"

Ye Yuning nodded, slightly embarrassed. "You said to buy fish, so I just bought fish."

Xiao Linye glanced at the two cleaned fish in the bag.

Her somewhat bewildered expression held a touch of endearing innocence.

He instinctively ruffled the top of her head. "Let’s go. We still need a few more things."

Ye Yuning froze for a moment, startled by the head pat.

Xiao Linye took a couple of steps, then, seeing her still standing rooted to the spot, raised an eyebrow. "Coming?"

"Oh, right!" Ye Yuning nodded blankly.
