Sheng Anran's face paled. "What did you say?"
Qiao Mu scoffed. "You don't dare to believe it, right? He's planning to fire that servant called Lingling from Jinjiang Court and replace her with a new one. "
"He …" Sheng Anran's face was ashen. "Didn't you say he believed it?"
"Yes, he believed it, but he still chose not to pursue the matter and pushed all the blame onto someone else, even though I already hinted to him that this matter wouldn't have anything to do with anyone else."
"Then say more. Tell him that Ye Huanyan has ulterior motives."
Qiao Mu glanced at her. "If I say another word, I'm afraid he'll fire me as well. What he wants is for himself and the people around him to believe that this matter has nothing to do with Ye Huanyan."
"He's deceiving himself."
Sheng Anran was so angry that her face paled.
"Is that so?" Qiao Mu took a deep breath and softened her voice. "In my eyes, he's just a bystander who's blinded by the situation."
This matter had nothing to do with Ye Huanyan to begin with, but he believed the so-called evidence and thought that Ye Huanyan was the one who did it. Even though he harbored ill feelings, he still did not pursue Ye Huanyan's responsibility. He numbed himself and only vented his anger on those innocent people.
"Don't tell me I can't do anything at all?"
Sheng Anran collapsed onto the sofa with a pale face.
Seeing her so despondent, Qiao Mu couldn't bear it and pulled her into her arms. "Must you stay by his side? He doesn't love you at all. "
Sheng Anran's face darkened. "Regardless of whether he loves me or not, I have to take this final gamble."
Late at night, after Ye Huanyan delivered supper to the study, she chatted with Ling Han for a while. Seeing that he was absent-minded, she casually asked, "Are there any problems with the company's matters? Are the losses very big? Do you need me to take a look? "
Ling Han looked up at her with an indifferent expression. "Are you very concerned about the company's matters?"
Ye Huanyan smiled faintly. "After all, I used to be an employee of Pleasure. Plus, it was the hard work of you and Uncle Ling. How could I not care? I thought this matter would be difficult to solve, but I didn't expect Guan Nai's identity to be related to the Eastern European royal family."
"Really?" Ling Han's eyes had a hint of melancholy. "Are you blaming me for not telling you about this?"
Ye Huanyan's heart skipped a beat. She was stunned. "I didn't mean that."
At this time, Ling Han had already lowered his head, so Ye Huanyan could not see his expression. Although she was suspicious, after thinking for a while, she just treated it as a casual remark.
After a while, Ling Han spoke again. "Among the leaked information this time, only Su Nianhua's information was not leaked at all."
When she heard the three words "Su Nianhua," Ye Huanyan's face tensed up slightly. She was nervous because Ling Han treated Su Nianhua as a thorn in his side and always misunderstood her relationship with him. She could not help but feel a little uneasy, so before she spoke, she warned herself to be careful.
"Is that so? Does he have any amazing information?"
"Of course. He's a popular singer. Recently, he's at the stage of releasing a new album and going on a nationwide concert tour. If his relationship is exposed, it will be a huge blow to our company. However, recently, half of the entertainment industry has been implicated, so he has become a clean stream."
Ye Huanyan looked indifferent and changed the topic. "Then the company's financial losses this year should be made up for by the concert, right?"
Ling Han did not say anything for a long time.
Ye Huanyan looked up at him and brushed the stray hair by her ear. She smiled gently and said, "Aren't you going to rest yet? It's 12 o 'clock. "
"You go rest first. There have been too many things to do in the company recently, and I also have a lot to deal with. I won't be able to accompany you properly for the next two days. Take care of yourself."
"Okay."
After responding, Ye Huanyan got up from the sofa and prepared to leave. Before she left, she glanced at the tray on the coffee table and reminded, "Remember to eat supper. Lingling will come to clean it up tomorrow morning."
Ling Han lowered his head and did not look at the supper. He kept writing something in his hand and said in a flat tone, "I plan to replace Lingling. I've already asked Qiao Mu to find a new person. You don't have any objections, right?"
Ye Huanyan's heart tightened, and she frowned. "No."
Ling Han was naturally suspicious. For the past two days, she had been investigating the issue regarding the leaking of confidential information within Huan Yu. She suddenly remembered that day when she had taken the file and sent it to the study. After that, she had gone to answer the call. Then, when Ling Ling had called her at the door for lunch, there was a period of time in between when she had not closed the study door.
Perhaps …
She knew that it was not easy for her and Ling Han to get to where they were today. Even if she did not believe that Lingling was that kind of person, she did not want to get into a conflict with Ling Han for no reason. She just wanted to protect herself and stay out of it.
With a click, Ye Huanyan's figure disappeared. The study door closed, and the sound of the door turning stopped abruptly. The study returned to silence.
Behind the desk, Ling Han stared at the door with a cold look in his eyes.
He had lived in peace for too long. It was only now that he realized that Ye Huanyan was different from before.
If it was in the past, she would always ask herself, 'Why?'.
But now, she carefully obeyed all of his decisions.
Was she really accommodating him out of feelings, or was she deliberately avoiding something?
The next morning, Ye Huanyan woke up to an empty space beside her. Clearly, he did not come back last night. When she opened the study door, he was no longer there. The supper on the coffee table was untouched. The layer on the bowl of beige porridge had solidified, and there was no warmth in it at all.
"Where's Ling Han?" She went downstairs to find Lingling.
Lingling was preparing breakfast. When she heard Ye Huanyan, she turned to look at her. "Isn't he upstairs?"
Ye Huanyan shook her head.
"That's strange." Lingling wiped her wet hands on her apron and looked in the direction of the entrance. "I woke up at five in the morning, but I didn't see the young master come down."
Ye Huanyan frowned. She did not know why, but she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Seeing Ye Huanyan like this, Lingling wiped her hands clean and went to the garage to take a look. When she came back, there was a gentle smile in her eyes. "Miss Ye, the young master's usual car is not in the garage. He probably drove out. Maybe he had something to do at the company. Don't worry."
Ye Huanyan nodded. She held her phone and turned to walk to the backyard. As she walked, she dialed Ling Han's number.
The call went through quickly. A familiar voice came through.
"What's wrong?"
When she heard this voice, Ye Huanyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"When did you leave?"
"This morning."
"Did something happen at the company again?"
"Nothing big. Don't wait for me for lunch. I still have a meeting. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Huanyan slowly exhaled. She just thought that the uneasiness in her heart was just her imagination.
Maybe she really had too much free time recently.
