"Heâs the one who judged me as inferior, and even refused to let me in. Do you even know who this is? This is my wife, the CEO of Zhonghai Cityâs Ling Corporation, with assets of several tens of billions. And yet, he dares to look down on me."
Ye Luo wrapped his arm around Ling Qingya, humming smugly with pride, while Qingyaâs face was full of embarrassment. She glared fiercely at Ye Luo, but did not shake off his hand.
Hearing Ye Luoâs words, all the guards present, including the one who had looked down on Ye Luo at first, were shocked. This man, who looked nothing special and dressed like a filthy beggar, was actually the husband of such an elegant and beautiful woman? Had the world changed too fast?
"Iâm so sorry, it was all a misunderstanding," the captain of the guards quickly said with a smile on his face.
"Itâs okay," Ling Qingya said with a smile, while Ye Luo humphed, "How can it be okay? This guy insulted my dignity, he must apologize to me, or else Iâll file a complaint against you all."
"Hey, can you stop causing a scene?" Ling Qingya frowned and gave Ye Luo a stern look. Shameless fellow, talking about dignityâhe has any dignity?
For a moment, the guard who had been hit had an embarrassed expression, his eyes filled with reluctance. But after thinking it over, he stood up and said, "Sir, it was my fault earlier, Iâm sorry."
"Remember, donât judge others by their appearance again."
Ye Luo said triumphantly, then walked into the hotel with his arm still around Ling Qingya.
"Alright, let me go now."
As soon as they entered the hotel, Ling Qingya struggled out of Ye Luoâs embrace.
"Wife, we havenât seen each other all day, letâs hug a little longer." Ye Luo looked reluctant to let go.
"Ye Luo, I once again find that you and Qing Ya are completely unsuitable for each other. Youâre not from the same world. You should leave early, donât delay Qing Yaâs future happiness."
Ling Huatao swept Ye Luo with a cold look, full of disdain and contempt.
"What does whether weâre suitable or not have to do with you? Although I have to address you as âfather-in-lawâ reluctantly, if you want to break up Qing Ya and me, donât blame me for not treating you as my father-in-law," Ye Luo retorted, unapologetically.
"Ye Luo, what are you talking about?"
Ling Qingya frowned slightly and glared at Ye Luo again.
"Alright, Qing Ya, you think about it yourself. The person Iâve introduced you to this time is definitely a perfect match for you. Plus, once you get together with him, this cooperation project will be a sure thing, without all the effort like today."
Having said that, Ling Huatao walked straight into his room as the elevator doors opened.
"Wife, are we staying in the same room?"
Ye Luo followed Ling Qingya into her room, then plopped himself onto the sofa, saying contentedly.
"Get lost, hereâs your room card, your room is next to mine." Ling Qingya handed Ye Luo a room card, huffing in the process.
"Wife, is the project not going smoothly?" Ye Luo picked up an apple from the coffee table and started munching on it.
"Donât call me wife." Ling Qingya said coldly, then let out a sigh, "This time, Shengtian Real Estate has a property project that needs development, and I was planning on getting Ling Corporationâs industries into Capital City."
"So I wanted to secure this property project. But today, when we went to meet the president of Shengtian Real Estate, we didnât expect that several large companies in Capital City were also eyeing this project. Itâs very difficult for us newcomers like Ling Corporation to secure it."
Ling Qingya spoke with a weary and haggard look as she unconsciously massaged her temples.
"Are you tired? Let me give you a massage," Ye Luo said. He approached Ling Qingya and placed his hands on her temples, gently kneading them. Instantly, her expression eased, her mood relaxed, and a hint of pleasure crossed her face.
Standing behind the sofa, Ye Luo massaged Ling Qingya, who leaned back against it. Suddenly, a large gap appeared in her white jacket, revealing a black camisole underneath, and from Ye Luoâs angle, he could see a glimpse of white lace.
It seemed that these women all liked lace, Ye Luo thought, his mind inadvertently drifting to Qin Yuru. Both she and Ling Qingya had the cold, CEO style, but evidently Qin Yuru was even colder, more noble, and exuded a stronger queen-like aura.
As he massaged, Ye Luoâs hands began to wander, slowly moving downward, as if yearning to touch the peaks of a mountain.
"What are you doing?"
However, just as Ye Luoâs hand nearly reached the summit, Ling Qingyaâs eyes snapped open and she coldly demanded, causing Ye Luoâs hands to swiftly retreat, and he said with an awkward smile, "Oh, I just saw a strand of hair on your clothes, so I wanted to help you pick it off."
Ling Qingya got up, glanced at Ye Luo, and asked, "What did you do yesterday? Why werenât you in Zhonghai?"
"Yesterday, a friend of mine ran into some trouble, and I went to help out."
"A woman?" Ling Qingyaâs pupil flickered with a peculiar light as she stared at Ye Luo.
"If I say it was a woman, would you be jealous?" Ye Luo asked with interest, looking at Ling Qingya.
"Iâm not interested in being jealous over you. Plus, Iâm only your fiancĂ©e, not your wife," Ling Qingya replied icily.
"But according to what you said, you should have arrived at this hotel two hours ago. Why are you so late?"
"Traffic jam. You have no idea how congested Capital City can be; it could drive a person insane," Ye Luo said earnestly.
"Enough, no more nonsense. Thereâs a business reception tonight in Capital City where many officials, nobles, and businessmen from Capital City will attend. Youâll accompany me there. Itâs a good opportunity to meet these people, which will be very beneficial for Ling Corporationâs future expansion into Capital City," Ling Qingya stated directly.
"Sure," Ye Luo nodded and then reclined on the sofa.
"If you want to sleep, go to your room. Donât disturb my rest," Ling Qingya huffed.
"You just wait, little girl. Iâll make sure you beg to sleep with me in the future," Ye Luo thought to himself, watching Ling Qingya with limitless fantasies in his mind.
Capital City, Qin Family.
The convoy carrying Qin Yuru slowly entered the Qin Family Manor, where a guard respectfully opened the door of the Bentley, and Qin Yuru stepped out.
"Yu Ru, youâre finally back; thatâs wonderful. Grandfather will be so pleased to see you," said Qin Tianming as he approached, a warm and friendly smile on his face as he greeted Qin Yuru.
If not mentioned, this scene would lead many to believe that their family relationship was incredibly good; no one would ever guess that Qin Tianming had just kidnapped his own niece.
