Chapter 2420
When the kiss was over, Zhuo Qianyun suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ye Wenming. "If you have no feelings for me, don't do that!"
"What's the matter? You don't like it? Don't forget that we're still married. It's perfectly justified even if I have my way with you! Don't forget the conditions I made in return for agreeing to your request..."
His angry voice was choked back into his throat when he saw tears in her eyes.
How many times had she slapped him? He was the chairman of Ye Group. Few people dared to do that to him, but the tears in her eyes seemed to extinguish the fury within him.
He felt as if his chest was being weighed down by something heavy, leaving him breathless.
The next moment, she pushed him away, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Mr. Ye, I understand that you have no feelings for me, so I have no intention of tempting you in any way. If the words I said earlier about not being able to help myself bothered you, I can assure you that it won't happen again."
His thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line. Why did it upset him to hear her say that and to be looked at indifferently by her?
It was as if something was missing...
...
When Ling Yiran went to pick up her daughter at the Shen family’s house, she learned from Shen Weifang that Xia Xi had been transferred by the Xia family.
"When did this happen?" Ling Yiran was surprised.
Shen Weifang said, "I found out about ten minutes ago and was about to call you. It seems that the Xia family has been alerted."
Ling Yiran said, "Do you know where the Xia family transferred Xia Xi to?"
"We need to investigate that. I'm afraid we won't find out so soon," said Shen Weifang.
Ling Yiran knew that it was no use worrying now. She first had to find out where the Xia family had transferred Xia Xi to.
"Did Xia Xi's attending doctor receive any money from the Xia family? I hope you can help me look into that, Mr. Shen," said Ling Yiran.
"No problem," replied Shen Weifang.
Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli then picked up their daughter in preparation to leave. However, Yi Qianjin looked reluctant to leave.
"Mommy, can I stay in Deer City a few days longer? Lil Fei said there are many interesting places in Deer City. I haven't even visited them yet!" Yi Qianjin could not help saying.
"It's Monday tomorrow, and you have to attend kindergarten. You can come to Deer City to visit Lil Fei next time during winter break," said Ling Yiran.
"But winter break is still a long time away. I want to spend more time with Lil Fei. I still have so many things to tell Lil Fei!" the little one said gloomily.
"Then stay here for a few more days," Yi Jinli said suddenly.
Yi Qianjin instantly looked surprised, while Ling Yiran seemed puzzled. "How many more days are we going to stay?"
