Chapter 1234
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
Ling Xi ordered takeout and it arrived very quickly. Then, the two of them sat down at the small table to eat.
There was no independent dining room in this house, so the dining area was not spacious. Ling Xi was used to the life of a young master and was not used to such an environment.
After some thought, she said, â Your place is really too small. Youâll reach the end before you even take two steps. Thereâs no space for you to move around at all. I have a two-bedroom house nearby that has always been empty. You can move in. â
Ye Nuan was stunned and shook her head. â Thank you, Young Master Ling. Itâs fine. Itâs quite small for you because youâre used to a big house. Iâm quite comfortable living here, so I donât want to change. â
âWoman, why are you so ungrateful?â Ling Xi frowned.
âI really think that living here is quite good. Besides, if you want me to rent an expensive house now, I can indeed afford it. Itâs just that thereâs really no need for it, so thereâs no need for Young Master Ling to worry about it.â
...
A 60-square-meter house might be pitifully small to him, not even as spacious as a room in his house. However, she did not have a rich life like him, so she did not feel that the house was small at all.
Hearing Ye Nuanâs words, Ling Xi was a little displeased. â You didnât understand what I said? Did I say I rented it to you? Iâm asking you to stay there for free!â
âThatâs even more impossible. Our relationship hasnât reached this stage. Whatâs the point of living in your house for free?â Ye Nuan answered without thinking.
Ling Xiâs expression darkened. Their relationship wasnât that bad? This woman had calculated everything so clearly!
Wasnât he doing this for her own good? He hoped that she would live in a more spacious and better neighborhood. It would be convenient to get around and it would be safe. However, her attitude was deliberately provoking him!@@novelbin@@
She snorted unhappily. â Up to you. If you like living in such a run-down place, I canât be bothered with you! â
A run-down placeâ¦
Ye Nuan stopped eating and looked up at Ling Xi. â Thatâs right, this is a run-down place. Iâm willing to live here. Young Master Ling, not everyone is born like you. They donât need to work at the bottom to be able to stand at the top and look down on everything. Itâs not a big deal to have money and power. You can live the life you want, and Iâll live the life I want. We wonât have any conflicts. You donât have to be so considerate for a commoner like me. â
âDo you think Iâm a busybody?â Ling Xiâs eyes darkened. Ye Nuanâs words had provoked him into anger. â Itâs not a big deal to be rich and powerful. Then, arenât you still relying on my power to climb up? If you really donât care about these things, why are you with me now? Youâre working so hard because you want to squeeze into high society and change your fate.â
Ling Xiâs words pierced deeply into Ye Nuanâs heart, hitting her weak spot.
Thatâs right, she was using his power to climb up. She wanted to get everything she wanted through her own efforts. She wanted to change her current state. She wanted to tell some people that she did not need to rely on them and could still live well.
However, what was the result?
In this unfair world, she had tried to climb up without anyone to rely on. However, every time she fell, it hurt. In the end, she realized that only by relying on power could she become better. Therefore, she chose the current path, despising herself while trying to prove herself.
However, deep down in her bones, she still looked down on people like Ling Xi who were born noble. Although he did nothing wrong, she just felt that it was too easy for people like him to get anything. It was too unfair to her.
