Chapter 1588
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
When Ye Nuan saw that it was her mother calling, she told Ling Xi not to speak and picked up the call. â Mom, whatâs the matter? â
Xiao Nuan, where are you? â Mother Ye asked lightly.
âIâm ⦠Iâm at the company. Iâm going to attend a fashion show later. Whatâs wrong, Mom?â Ye Nuan lied guiltily.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he said, ââItâs nothing. Iâm just asking. Come home for dinner after youâre done. You havenât been home for a few days.â
âOkay, Mom. If thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up first. Iâll be busy in a while.â
âYes.â Mother Ye stared at the car that had already driven away, and her face darkened.
...
Ye Nuan hung up the phone and exhaled. She then looked at the man who was driving. He was obviously unhappy that she had lied to him.
She tugged at his sleeve gently. â Are you angry? â@@novelbin@@
Ling Xi grunted. â You knew that I would be angry, yet you still hid it from your mother? Am I that shameful? Or are you saying that you donât want to reveal your relationship with me at all?â
âItâs not what you think.â Ye Nuan hurriedly explained, â Our relationship happened too suddenly. I kept telling my mother that we had nothing to do with each other. Now that our relationship has suddenly changed, I donât know how to tell my mother. â
âYou know, my mother doesnât like you,â she whispered after some thought.
Hearing this, Ling Xi became even more unhappy. â Why doesnât she like me? Am I not worthy of you? Not qualified to be her son-in-law?â
Ye Nuan bit her lip. â Iâm not worthy of you. â
âNonsense!â Ling Xi frowned. â I dare you to say that again! â
How could the woman that Ling Xi liked not be worthy of him?
Ye Nuan confessed, â The reason why my mother doesnât like me being with you is because of your status. She thinks that Iâm not worthy of you and that Iâll be at a disadvantage if Iâm with you. â
âIf thatâs the reason, then itâs fine. Iâll promise her!â She had already gotten her mother. It was not difficult for him at all.
âCan we not be so anxious about this?â Ye Nuan asked. My mother had always hoped that I would find a family of equal social status. She was worried that I would walk the same path as her. She thought that rich and powerful men would be like my father, who would abandon me and worry about meâ¦Abandoned.â
Ling Xi had never understood why Mother Ye disliked him. Now, she finally understood. It was not because he had done something wrong, but because of his identity. This was an unchangeable factor.
This way, things would be easier to resolve.
He patted her head. â Alright, I wonât force you, but we have to be honest with her sooner or later. The sooner we tell her, the sooner we resolve it. We have to face it sooner or later, so we shouldnât drag it on. Trust me, this isnât a problem for us. â
As long as he treated her well, she believed that as a parent, he would want his daughter to be happy.
Ye Nuan walked up and wrapped her arms around Ling Xiâs neck, saying gratefully, ââLing Xi, thank you.â
At this moment, she realized how good it was to have him around.
It was such a blissful thing to be with him. She could face everything with him.
Ling Xi heard her hoarse voice and thought she was crying. As he drove, he wiped her face with one hand. â Youâre so touched that youâre crying? â
After she finished speaking, she realized that there were no tears on her face at all.
Ye Nuan burst out laughing. â Whoâs crying? I just have a cold and my nose is stuffy. â
Ling Xi was speechless.
What a waste of emotions. He had wanted to say a bunch of sweet words to comfort her.
