Chapter 319

Unworthy?

The man who had been waiting for her response, upon hearing these words, finally felt his heart sink completely.

"Ye Ning, all these years, have I ever disdained you?"

"What?"

"You say you’re a single mother, you’ve been to jail, you live in the shadows, all of these, which part did I not personally take care of for you? If I really disdained you, do you think you could have stayed by my side for so many years?" noveldrama

"..."

The words became blunter!

The meaning was also getting clearer; without disdain, there is no unworthiness, and everything she said now was just her excuse.

Ye Ning finally looked down, her face, which had been forcibly composed, began to stiffen, "Brother Lin, isn’t it better for us... just like this?"

"How so?"

"Like siblings, like family, isn’t that good?" Ye Ning raised her head, her eyes full of hope while she stared at the man.

Indeed, was it good to be like siblings, like family? How much she cherished such a relationship! She was an orphan, without the warmth of a family since childhood. Didn’t he know how important and precious his care and protection were to her?

But the man was very determined, even with a hint of mockery after hearing her words, "Being family with me, and being a spouse to Ou Mucen, is that it?"

"What did you say?"

Ye Ning’s face finally changed, "Brother Lin, why would you say that?"

Lin Yebai: "..."

He was about to ruthlessly pierce through the true secret hidden in the depths of her heart, but at this moment, Xiaojin pushed the door and came in from outside, "Sir, so you were here, I’ve got something to look for you about."

Only then did Lin Yebai stop the words still trapped in his throat.

Now that Xiaojin had arrived, Ye Ning wanted even less to stay in the living room, so as soon as Lin Yebai moved away from in front of her, she turned and went to her room, slamming the door shut with a "bang".

This was the first time she had been so angry at him!

Xiaojin stood there seeing this, and finally couldn’t hold back, he approached the equally ashen-faced sir, "Sir, you’re pressing her too hard, this way, you’ll only drive her further away."

Xiaojin hadn’t actually come to look for him about something; he had hurried over to stop him after hearing something amiss from outside.

Yes, if Xiaojin hadn’t appeared just now, Lin Yebai might have exposed the man truly hidden in the depths of her heart, and perhaps, there would have been no turning back for them.

"Sir, Miss Aning came for revenge. Ou Mucen belongs to the Ou Family. No matter how much she likes him, she won’t let herself step into that situation."

"So your point is..."

"My point is, don’t push too hard, lest she actually ends up with that man. You must understand, they already have a child together."

Xiaojin also knew about the incident from back then.

Because at that time, it was he who had witnessed it and informed Lin Yebai.

Lin Yebai finally calmed down slowly!

Indeed, he had been too impulsive just now, especially after hearing her mention family, the word "spouse" that he had blurted out in anger was precisely because he thought of that child.

He lit a cigarette and slowly paced to the floor-to-ceiling windows of this luxurious living room, "How’s that matter I asked you to take care of coming along?"

Xiaojin quickly answered, "It’s all set up. But, sir, how did you know that jewelry company belonged to Ou Yuze?"
