Lifetime of Bliss And Contentment With You

After Xing Chen left, the little kitten leaped into Lin Yan’s arms.

She stared at Xing Chen’s back, feeling puzzled.

Xing Chen’s expression didn’t seem very good.

Did he blame her?

Lin Yan had promised Xing Chen that she would try to persuade Pei Yucheng to plead on his friend’s behalf. However, Pei Yucheng was unwavering and she couldn’t do anything else.

“Thousand Bags Of Cash, come back!”

Suddenly, Prosperous New Year dashed out of the room.

The moment Thousand Bags Of Cash saw Prosperous New Year, it seemed agitated and it started struggling against Lin Yan’s chest. It then sprang on its feet and chased after Prosperous New Year.

Both cats were rather tame and wouldn’t run out of the mansion.

Lin Yan wasn’t worried that she wouldn’t find them. Instead, she was afraid that they might go to Pei Yucheng’s study.

Helpless, Lin Yan could only run after them and block their way outside the study.

She grabbed a cat with each hand and lifted them up.

The two cats stared at each other as they meowed continuously.

Lin Yan was about to leave when she heard an argument inside the study.

“Xing Chen, that’s enough… Brother Yu has his reasons for doing that. Ling Yue made a mistake and she should be punished. Why do you have to be so stubborn?”

Qin Huan’s voice was heard from the study.

“Oh, so it’s because of that girl…”

Lin Yan, who crouched below the window, muttered to herself.

That girl, Ling Yue, seemed to be on good terms with Xing Chen. She should be one of Pei Yucheng’s subordinates too but she seemed to have been punished.

“Brother Yu… As long as you allow Xiaoyue to come back, I will do anything. Brother Yu, give me a chance, please!”

Xing Chen sounded desperate.

Pei Yucheng merely chuckled coldly in response.

“Who are you talking to?”

Pei Yucheng’s voice rang out.

“Brother Yu…”

“Get out.” Pei Yucheng then said calmly, “Or do you want to be with her?”

“Brother Yu, I understand. Sorry.”

At last, Xing Chen bowed his head and left the study.

Lin Yan felt sorry at the sight of Xing Chen’s pathetic figure.

When she had first come to Cloud Manor, Xing Chen had taken care of her.

It was a pity that she couldn’t help him at all. She really was at a loss.

Actually, Ling Yue was curious about Ling Yue. What had the girl done to incur Pei Yucheng’s wrath?

Even if Lin Yan wanted to help Xing Chen, she had to know what had happened before she could do that. How could she approach Pei Yucheng again if she was clueless about the story?

Hence, Lin Yan rose and followed Xing Chen. She decided to ask him for details about what had happened.

Lin Yan was about to call out to Xing Chen when his phone rang.

As soon as Xing Chen glanced at his phone, his expression froze.

Unconsciously, Xing Chen surveyed the surroundings. He didn’t see Lin Yan, who stood behind him.

He then marched to a secluded corner of the mansion and answered the call.

“I hope you are aware of the facts. Please don’t pester me in the future.” Xing Chen lowered his voice, his expression solemn.

“Oh… Xing Chen. Don’t be so hostile to me. What have you accomplished after staying with Pei Yucheng all these years? Have you forgotten about Ling Yue’s incident?”
