Chapter 1428
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
Ye Nuan didnât want her mother to see Ling Xi, so she panicked. She signaled Ling Xi to leave quickly with her eyes, then walked towards her mother and whispered, ââMom, Zhang Lipingâs people have left. Are you okay?â
âIâm fine.â Mother Ye shook her head and shifted her gaze to Ling Xi. â Xiao Nuan, this is? â
Ye Nuan turned around and saw that Ling Xi was still standing there. She could only explain, ââHeâs my friend. Itâs all thanks to him that Zhang Lipingâs men were chased away today. Itâs very late now. Mom, you go back first. Iâll send him off.â
Mother Yeâs gaze was still sizing up Ling Xi. This was the first time Ye Nuan had brought a friend of the opposite sex home, which surprised her.
Ling Xi could sense that Ye Nuan didnât want him to see her mother. It seemed like she wanted him to leave. However, since he was here and saw her mother, he couldnât leave without saying goodbye.
Noticing that Mother Ye was sizing her up, he took two steps forward and smiled at her. â Auntie, Iâm Ling Xi, Ye Nuanâs friend. Iâve long heard that you fell and were hospitalized, so Iâve been wanting to see you. I came in a hurry today and didnât bring any gifts. Please forgive me. â
...
When Mother Ye heard Ling Xiâs words, she was slightly stunned. She even knew about Ling Xiâs physical condition. It was obvious that her relationship with Ye Nuan was not ordinary.@@novelbin@@
The man beside her had an outstanding temperament. Although he was dressed in a low-key manner, she could feel the nobility emanating from him. This made her feel a little conflicted.
She just nodded coldly. â Mr. Ling, thank you for what you did just now. Iâm sorry for making a fool of myself at home. â
âHow can that be? If Auntie needs anything in the future, feel free to look for me.â Ling Xi didnât expect Mother Ye to be so cold to him, but when he saw his future mother-in-law, he naturally had to show his enthusiasm.
âMr. Ling, what do you do for a living?â Mother Ye asked.
Ling Xi took out a name card from his pocket and handed it to Mother Ye. â Auntie, I work in finance. My number is on it. You can contact me if you need anything. â
Mother Ye looked at the name card. It was the CEO of Ling Enterprise, Ling Xi. The next moment, her expression became even colder. â Mr. Ling, itâs getting late. You should go back first. â
Kicking her out after giving her the business card? Why didnât she invite him into the house? Ye Nuanâs mother was even colder to him than Ye Nuan.
Seeing her motherâs attitude, Ye Nuan understood what was going on.
Her mother didnât want her to associate with people of high status. Her mother might have seen her shaking hands with Ling Xi just now and had already decided that Ling Xi was her boyfriend. Her mother wouldnât support a relationship with someone of Ling Xiâs high status.
After all, Ling Xi had helped her tonight. She was a little embarrassed that Ling Xi was treated like this by her mother. However, she knew that her mother was unhappy, so she said to Ling Xi, ââYoung Master Ling, you can go back first.â
What else could Ling Xi do if he didnât go back? Since she didnât intend to treat him to a cup of tea, he could only leave.
After saying goodbye to Ye Nuanâs mother, Ling Xi went downstairs.
When he walked out of the corridor, he saw a figure walking towards him. When the person approached, he saw that it was Tang Ze.
He raised his eyebrows coldly. â Whatâs the matter? â
Tang Ze extended his hand to Ling Xi. â Hello, Young Master Ling. Iâm Tang Ze. â
âI know.â Ling Xi didnât respond to Tang Zeâs outstretched hand.
Tang Ze didnât mind. He retracted his hand and looked at Ling Xi, ââ Young Master Ling, may I ask whatâs your relationship with Xiao Nuan? â
Ling Xi met Tang Zeâs gaze and asked, ââWhatâs your relationship with her?â
