Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 35 - 34: Dogfood Barrage

After getting ho, Ning Ruoxi couldn’t wait to share what had just happened with Luo Yue. When Luo Yue heard that Ye Ling actually controlled sixty percent of Shengding Group’s shares, even she couldn’t help but stare in disbelief.

"Whoa, for real? Ye Ling was hiding sothing this big?" Luo Yue said blankly. She never imagined Ye Ling would solve the problem this way.

Simple and brutal!

But it was definitely the most effective!

"Wait, does this an you’ll be working at Ye Ling’s company now, Ruoruo? Heh heh~" Luo Yue suddenly realized sothing, and a teasing look appeared in her eyes as she gazed at Ning Ruoxi.

Her big eyes were now filled with playful mischief.

’Is this the real-life version of the "domineering CEO falls in love with " plot?’

"Hm? You little rascal, Yueyue, are you thinking naughty thoughts!?" Sensing the mischief in her friend’s eyes, Ning Ruoxi launched a surprise attack, viciously tickling her armpits.

"N-No, I’m not!"

Luo Yue shivered and quickly escaped from Ning Ruoxi’s evil clutches. Hugging a throw pillow, she gave Ning Ruoxi a woeful look. "Hmph, Ruoruo, you don’t love anymore."

"Bleh!"

Ning Ruoxi stuck her little tongue out, looking utterly adorable.

"Alright, stop fooling around. I’ve booked a restaurant. I’m treating you two to a big lunch to celebrate this whole thing being resolved."

Ye Ling had just co down from upstairs. Watching the two girls playing and teasing each other, he couldn’t help but shake his head in resignation.

’These two girls are always so energetic.’

’Then again, without their constant chattering, this house would probably feel pretty empty.’

"A big al!? Yes, please! Yes, please!"

The mont Luo Yue heard there was good food, her eyes lit up.

However.

Luo Yue soon regretted going to lunch with Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi... She even decided she would never go out with the two of them ever again!

"Hey, can you two be a little more considerate? I’m still here, you know..."

Luo Yue said, her face full of grievance as she watched the couple sitting in front of her.

Ever since they left the house, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi had been engaging in all sorts of public displays of affection, as if she were completely invisible.

Ugh!

’I’m so mad!’

’So this is what it feels like to be a third wheel!?’

"Just try to bear with it."

Ye Ling couldn’t help but rub his nose, feeling a little sheepish... However, after a mont’s thought, he picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks and fed it to Ning Ruoxi.

’While a single person’s dignity should be protected, feeding my girl seems more important~’

Instantly.

The only single person present took another 10,000 points of critical damage.

’I may not be human, but you two are definitely dogs!’

At that mont, Luo Yue felt her fragile little heart had been dealt a heavy blow.

SOB SOB SOB... ’They’re all bullying for being single!’

"Hee hee, Yueyue, co on, I’ll feed you too~" Seeing this, Ning Ruoxi quickly scooted over to her best friend’s side and fed the girl a bite.

’Mhm. As everyone knows, this is how you can "lose" your best friend without even trying.’

’So, she felt it was necessary to ’maintain’ their friendship from ti to ti.’

Just then, Ye Ling’s phone rang.

"Ruoruo, can you get that for ?"

Ye Ling was busy peeling crawfish; he didn’t have a free hand to answer the phone.

"Okay~"

Ning Ruoxi gave a gentle smile and picked up the phone.

"Hello, is this Young Master Ye?" a man’s voice asked from the other end. Ning Ruoxi could tell the caller was very respectful toward Ye Ling.

Ning Ruoxi imdiately explained, "This isn’t Ye Ling. He’s busy peeling crawfish for right now, so I answered for him. If it’s urgent, I can get him?"

The mont she spoke, there was a clear mont of silence on the other end of the line.

After a long pause, the voice ca through again. "Ah, so you’re Mrs. Ye. Hello, I’m Li Yuan. Since Young Master Ye let you answer the phone, I can just tell you. Could you please ask him when he’ll be back? I’ve already arrived at Tomson Riviera."

’Mrs. Ye!!!’

Ning Ruoxi’s pretty face instantly flushed crimson. Being called that was a bit sudden, but... she found she was surprisingly happy about it~~

"Ye Ling, Li Yuan says he’s at Tomson Riviera and wants to know when you’ll be back," Ning Ruoxi said, her beautiful eyes turning to Ye Ling.

She was curious why Ye Ling was in contact with Li Yuan again, but considering that he had suddenly beco the owner of Shengding Group... she felt this was probably not a huge shock by comparison.

She understood that everyone has their secrets. Even the closest of couples should maintain so personal space. That was why she never pried too much into Ye Ling’s affairs.

As long as his heart was with her, that was enough.

Ning Ruoxi’s gaze softened as she watched Ye Ling diligently peeling the crawfish.

"Li Yuan? Let him wait. Can’t he tell I’m busy with my wife?"

Ye Ling frowned slightly upon hearing this and grumbled.

’That guy is so clueless. Ning Ruoxi was the one who answered the phone, doesn’t that prove I’m really busy right now?!’

Since Ning Ruoxi and Ye Ling were sitting right next to each other, Li Yuan naturally heard what Ye Ling said.

At that mont.

He too took 10,000 points of critical damage.

’Boss, I dragged my injured body straight from the hospital to get here! Can’t you show a little consideration for your subordinate? Fine, don’t show consideration, but do you have to shove a massive mouthful of "dog food" down my throat?!’

He had already, for the most part, decided to follow Ye Ling from now on.

After all, the Yu Group had probably blacklisted him by now... Following Ye Ling was likely his only chance of survival.

"Um... he said he seems to be a little busy right now, so it might be... a little later?"

"It’s alright, it’s alright, Mrs. Ye. You and President Ye take your ti. Don’t mind ."

Li Yuan proved to be quite sensible this ti and hung up imdiately.

Ning Ruoxi looked at Ye Ling, wrinkling her delicate nose. "Hey, you. Is it okay to just leave Li Yuan hanging like that?"

"Him? He’s fine."

Ye Ling shrugged, a look of complete indifference on his face. He picked up a freshly peeled crawfish and held it to Ning Ruoxi’s lips. "Here, baby, eat up~"

"Hee hee hee, so yummy!"

Ning Ruoxi’s face was brimming with bliss.

"I’m going to go get a Coke."

’Luo Yue felt she couldn’t take it anymore. This rotten Ruoruo, who chose boys over her bestie! She was never going to be her number one best friend ever again!’

"Uh... that little gal seems pretty unhappy."

Ye Ling had only just noticed, and he looked at Ning Ruoxi with so confusion.

Ning Ruoxi rolled her eyes in exasperation. ’Gee, I wonder why she’s unhappy~’ Then again, she supposed she was partly to bla too.

"Oh, whatever. You eat so crawfish too."

However, Ning Ruoxi’s guilt was fleeting. She quickly forgot about Luo Yue and, giggling, started feeding Ye Ling.

The two of them were instantly all over each other again. As for Luo Yue, she was long forgotten.

Luo Yue: *Sniffle, sniffle.* In the end, I was the one who shouldered everything alone. I need recomndation votes to feel better~~~
