Ye Ning ended the call after listening to Lin Yuying’s long rambling.

Mu Yeli said, "With the Lin family’s wealth, she wouldn’t need to live in such a place. It seems she must have seriously angered her family."

Ye Ning said, "Yes, yes, yes. It was so hard on you to come to such a place to settle scores with me, even getting injured. It’s all my fault."

Mu Yeli frowned. This woman seemed to enjoy angering him in every minute detail. Was she sent by heaven itself to oppose him and literally blow his fuse?

"Ye Ning, what did I ever do to you that makes you prick me with your words all the time?"

Ye Ning shrugged, "No harm done. Perhaps Ye Zi was always too kind to you, always agreeing with you. As a result, you’re not used to dealing with someone as crude and difficult as me?"

Mu Yeli’s mood worsened. He glared at Ye Ning, "Can you not drag other people into your problems?!"

"Oh, look at you changing your expression the moment I mention your darling Ye Zi." Even though Ye Ning was joking, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Mu Yeli was so furious that he really wanted to strangle this woman!

He had never seen a more disobedient woman than her.

"Alright, Ye Ning. I’m going to say it one last time, this is between you and me, it has nothing to do with anyone else. We got married because both our families agreed on it, and you were on board with it too. Even though I hurt you later, it was because you drugged me--it was your initiative. Now, why are you making my life difficult every day, Ye Ning, what on earth are you up to!"

Mu Yeli leaned back, his face displaying his discontent.

Ye Ning paused, reflecting on the original owner’s glee at the prospect of marrying him and her willful decision to drug him. When she thought about these events, she felt guilty.

Indeed, none of this was really Mu Yeli’s fault. He was in love with Ye Zi, it was hopeless for her to expect him to pity or be kind to her.

In any case, neither of them could change the present circumstances, so they might as well live harmoniously together. As long as he did not cross the line, she would also control herself and not provoke him repetitively.

"Alright, since you are hurt now, focus on recovering. Tell me what you need, and I’ll get it for you."

"Just bring me my laptop."

Ye Ning obediently fetched his laptop for him.

He started working on his laptop. Ye Ning looked at him from behind, seeing that she had nothing to do, and worried that he might need something later, so she stayed in, picked up a script, and started reading it.

Each of them immersed themselves in their respective tasks: one sitting on the bed and the other on the couch.

Occasionally, when she looked up, Ye Ning could see Mu Yeli in front of her, his slender fingers rapidly typing on the laptop like playing a piano--a beautiful sight. Or she’d see him deep in thought with one hand supporting his chin and the other supporting the laptop, his eyes as profound as the deep sea.

Such a handsome man, everything he did was just pleasing to the eye.

He had a lot of work and continued working late into the night. She had already fallen asleep on the desk, but his computer was still on.

Past midnight, when Mu Yeli looked up again, he saw that Ye Ning had already fallen asleep sprawled out on the desk.

This woman, she could sleep so soundly even in such a position. It was clear that she was really exhausted. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

When he checked the time, it was already past midnight, without him even realizing it.
