“……” It was awkward.
An Nuan stared blankly at Ye Yunfeng, unsure whether to nod or shake her head. If she denied it now, it would seem overly dramatic, especially since he had heard her. But if she nodded, it felt as if she were already a married woman. She had promised to be responsible for him, and if she went on to flirt with other men, she would surely be condemned by everyone.
“I…”
“Approved.”
Ye Yunfeng said two words and strode towards the car, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth, seemingly in a good mood. Meanwhile, An Nuan stood frozen in place, feeling disheveled by the wind.
Approved?
Had he forgotten that they were already legally married, or did he consider the marriage certificate just a formality?
She hurried after him; she needed to clarify this.
It couldn’t just remain unclear like this.
“Ye Yunfeng, wait a minute.”
Calling his name for the first time felt a bit awkward. An Nuan jogged to his side and opened her mouth to speak, but saw that Ye Yunfeng was on the phone. Suddenly, the words she wanted to say vanished from her mind.
“Yeah, I understand.”
Ye Yunfeng's expression darkened as he responded to the person on the other end of the line, appearing quite displeased.
After hanging up, he noticed An Nuan standing there in a daze. His voice softened slightly, “Did I scare you?”
"I'm... I'm not sure..."
An Nuan shook her head, hesitating about whether to ask.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Yunfeng's large hand ruffled her hair, as if the anger from a moment ago had never existed. An Nuan couldn't help but marvel at how quickly this man could change his expression, as swift as flipping through a book.
With her eyes closed, she took on the demeanor of a warrior facing death and asked, "We're legally married, after all. If I go after Qian Xinghui's major shareholder, you won't mind, right?"
"What do I have to mind? I can't expect you to give up your career for me."
Ye Yunfeng spoke with a hint of grievance, while also appearing to be fully supportive of her career. An Nuan was left confused by his mixed signals.
Of course, she was just saying it; she didn't really have the guts to pursue a major shareholder.
There were plenty of beautiful women in the company—why would a major shareholder be interested in her?
"I see you're somewhat of a successful person. Aren't you afraid of having a green hat on your head?"
Though she felt timid inside, she still tried to project an image of confidence. Ye Yunfeng chuckled at her words.
"I just mentioned that I want to see who in this circle would dare to put a green hat on me. As for your ambition to pursue Xing Hui's shareholder, I think that's an excellent choice and the quickest way to gain fame. But whether they accept you depends on your abilities."
"..."
Feeling bare and exposed to disdain, An Nuan's cheeks involuntarily flushed.
To be honest, what Ye Yunfeng said made a lot of sense.
It was one thing for her to want to infiltrate, but whether or not she would be allowed to do so was another matter entirely.
It was clear that she was being told that someone like her would never catch the eye of Xing Hui, the Major Shareholder.
Was she really that inadequate?
"Alright, stop overthinking. We need to make a trip to the casino in the west of the city."
"What happened to my mom?"
"They're not letting her go; I need to handle this personally."
"Oh."
An Nuan nodded and quickly got into the car. The vehicle headed towards the western part of the city. Meanwhile, inside the casino, the atmosphere was quite awkward. They had already planned to release the people involved, but who would have thought that this old woman would feel like she had connections and recklessly bump into someone?
Now it seemed they had collided with the heir of C City—Chu Lingchuan.
