Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Bai family had put in a lot of effort into preparing a birthday banquet for Bai Yamo.

If she could marry into the Ye family, the Bai family’s business would definitely increase greatly.

At the thought of this, Father Bai, who had always been hostile towards Bai Yamo, also became harmonious.

Bai Yamo was flattered and Ye Lan was happy to see this.

The Bai family valued Bai Yamo because of the Ye family. If she married him, she would be the only person they can rely on.

After all, Old Madam Ye did not like the Bai family.

However, Lin Wanmeng was an eyesore.

Ye Lan took a sip of wine, her phoenix-like eyes searching the crowd.

Ye Lingxiao hadn’t seen Lin Wanmeng for a few days.

However, when that person slowly walked over from the door in a gown, he could not help but be stunned.

This outfit was completely different from the previous green dress. It accentuated Lin Wanmeng’s sexiness and charm from the inside out.

When the woman in the black dress looked up, her dark brown eyes were indeed shining brightly. The black veil curled around her graceful figure, and her fair skin was faintly discernible.

It was indeed beautiful. At first, He Yan was a little unhappy that Lin Wanmeng was not wearing the dress he had given her, but at this moment, he was indeed mesmerized by her.

He thought that this dress was Lin Wanmeng’s work. He raised his glass and praised, “President Lin’s design is not bad.”

Lin Wanmeng did not intend to claim credit. She politely lifted the hem of her skirt. “It’s a friend’s design.”

He Yan didn’t give up and continued to praise her. “Then it’s because President Lin has good taste.”

The two of them chatted happily. Lin Bo also saw Lin Wanmeng and wanted to say something nice. He took a few steps forward, but he saw a cold and arrogant man walk past him and pull the woman in a black dress to his side.

“Mrs. Ye’s charm doesn’t diminish at all. There are actually people who keep trying…”

Lin Wanmeng could hear Ye Lingxiao gritting his teeth beside her ear. For a moment, she thought that he was acting up again.

The thought of his woman wearing clothes given to her by someone who had designs on her made him furious.

When He Yan saw this, he did not explain. His eyes darkened and he deliberately smiled at Lin Wanmeng. “This dress suits you very well.”

Before Lin Wanmeng could react, Ye Lingxiao strode forward and she subconsciously held onto him tightly. “President Ye…”

The other party turned around, and there seemed to be a murderous aura in his eyes. His thin lips parted slightly, but they were as sharp as blades. “Mrs. Ye, remember how I instructed you to address me?”

“Or could it be that President Lin has already prepared the funds and is preparing to return the five million yuan to the Ye Corporation?”

Lin Wanmeng’s hand trembled. She wanted to let go, but the man grabbed her wrist tightly.

The two of them looked at each other and openly conveyed their anger to Lin Wanmeng.

He Yan should have stood by and watched.

However, he couldn’t help but tease. “What’s wrong?”

He placed his hand on the spot where the two of them met and secretly exerted force on Ye Lingxiao’s hand. “Five million yuan to change the way she addresses you?” He Yan tilted his face and gave Ye Lingxiao a strange smile. “Then I’ll give President Ye five million yuan too. When we meet in the future, how about you call me Hubby?”

BANG!

It was as if the anger that had been accumulated for a long time had suddenly erupted. The people at the banquet did not react and subconsciously looked at the source of the voice.

Ye Lingxiao’s face darkened. He Yan turned his face to the side and wiped the blood off his lips.

Assistant Zheng saw that something was wrong and hurriedly pulled them to a corner.

He Yan shielded Lin Wanmeng behind him. Lin Wanmeng was caught between the two men.

He took a deep breath in a low voice, but his eyes were still very provocative. “Why? President Ye can use money to make little girls say obscene things, but I can’t?”

“How am I obscene?” Ye Lingxiao’s expression was dark. He wanted to punch him again.

“You look obscene.”

After being punched, He Yan was not only in the mood to laugh, but he was also in the mood to continue talking.

Lin Wanmeng was filled with admiration.

However, she took a good look at Ye Lingxiao’s face.

This wasn’t right.

Seeing that He Yan was about to speak, Assistant Zheng stood in front of him politely. “You should follow me down to treat your wound.”

He Yan didn’t seem to care, but when he turned to look at Ye Lingxiao, there was a bone-chilling coldness hidden in his eyes.

Before he left, he didn’t forget to say, “I admire President Lin’s ability. If anyone causes trouble for President Lin, you can look for me.”

Lin Wanmeng wasn’t stupid. This guy was the biggest problem.

As expected, after hearing this, Ye Lingxiao was still enraged.

“What exactly is your relationship?!” His gaze was like a torch, and his words were intense.

Lin Wanmeng raised her chin, her small and exquisite Adam’s apple moving under her snow-white skin. She lowered her eyes and mocked, “Is it your business?”

There was a fire burning in her heart. She wanted to burn Ye Lingxiao and this banquet to the ground.

Possessiveness, right?

She was dressed up for his elusive love’s birthday, and he still dared to mention his possessiveness?

“What do you want?”

The man gradually approached, and the deterrence made Lin Wanmeng take a few steps back. She bit his lower lip and suddenly smiled. “You want to hit me?”

Ye Lingxiao was stunned, but the woman in front of him leaned her fair side profile over. “Do it. Old Madam Ye must want to see the injuries on my face tonight.”

Although she said that, her body trembled slightly. Seeing Ye Lingxiao’s lethality at such a close distance made her tremble.

She was gambling.

She was betting that Ye Lingxiao wouldn’t dare to make a move here.

He held a necklace in his slender and strong hand. The gemstone-cut surface reflected Lin Wanmeng’s slightly pale face.

His hands caressed her slender neck and the man’s fierce voice sounded. “Then should I strangle you to death now?!”

Lin Wanmeng’s entire body trembled. She slowly looked up and saw an emerald necklace around her neck. The entire necklace was complemented by 109 diamonds. It was incomparably luxurious. She gasped. “This is too expensive…”

Ye Lingxiao stopped the pair of hands that were about to take off and grabbed her thin shoulders. “Yes, you’re not worthy of it!”

He slowly bent down and stuck his nose into the tip of her hair. Smelling the fragrance of pinewood on her neck, he raised his teeth and bit the side of her neck before Lin Wanmeng could react.

“Sss!” Lin Wanmeng was in pain. She wanted to push his hand away, but she was restrained.

The man behind her was full of the smell of aggression, making her want to escape.

“I’ve given Mrs. Ye a stamp this time. She must be satisfied.”

His hands were released. The man took a step back and restrained his aura.

Seeing how helpless Lin Wanmeng was but she was still resisting, he really wanted to strangle her to death!

She actually thought that he would attack her!

“You heartless thing, you still don’t remember! Remember my name. If there’s a next time, it won’t be so simple.”

After so many twists and turns, Ye Lingxiao was still obsessed with the way she addressed him.

Lin Wanmeng’s neck and hands hurt too. She didn’t know which one to rub first.

She glared at Ye Lingxiao, but under his gaze, she reluctantly lowered her head and muttered, “Lingxiao.”

Even so, he was still not convinced.
