The Empty Bridal Chamber

Chapter 11: Untitled

This pillow was really great. It was also very soft to the touch.

In a daze, Lin Wanmeng wanted to pull the edge of the pillow and place it under her head, but she accidentally bumped into…

This is…

Three seconds later, she and the person under her woke up.

The air froze for a moment. Lin Wanmeng’s face was pressed against his warm chest as she blinked.

“Haven’t you touched enough?” The man’s cold voice came from above her head. Lin Wanmeng couldn’t pretend to be asleep anymore. The scenes from last night flashed through her mind, but she only remembered a few blurry moments.

As soon as CEO Yu came up, he stuck close to her and sat beside her. After a few sentences, he started to touch her. After being rejected, he was not discouraged and directly used drugs.

So, how did she end up in the same bed as Ye Lingxiao?

Lin Wanmeng propped herself up. As soon as she looked up, she met Ye Lingxiao’s playful gaze.

She lowered her head and moved away. It turned out that her hands were on Ye Lingxiao’s chest and were rising and falling along with his heartbeat.

“I’m sorry!” Lin Wanmeng quickly retracted her hand. “Yesterday was an emergency. Did something happen?”

Initially, he thought that this woman would be pleasantly surprised when she woke up and ask him for compensation. He did not expect her to have a blank expression.

Was she pretending to be innocent?

Ye Lingxiao’s gaze shifted to the blood on the bedsheets, interrupting his conjecture.

He looked embarrassed, but he did not notice that Lin Wanmeng, who was kneeling at the side, was gradually enlightened.

“It’s you!” Memories of the hotel waiter, her stumbling into the room while supporting herself against the wall, and someone breaking through the window and carrying her to the bed appeared in her mind.

She recalled Ye Lingxiao’s question before she lost consciousness. It was obvious that he had heard some news and rushed over to help her.

Her words of doubt were stuck in her throat.

“Thank you… for yesterday.” Although she thanked him, Lin Wanmeng felt uncomfortable. It seemed like she was the victim.

Ye Lingxiao did not answer. He only glanced at Lin Wanmeng from head to toe. “Are you injured? What happened yesterday?”

These words made Lin Wanmeng feel even more aggrieved.

“It’s nothing. That CEO Yu…” If she remembered correctly, she had hurt him.

Judging from yesterday’s circumstance, the other party seemed more like a person who would do anything.

“Don’t worry.” Ye Lingxiao’s face darkened. No matter what kind of deal he had with Lin Wanmeng, she was still his wife.

She was definitely not someone that could be taken advantage of by someone like that!

Hearing this, Lin Wanmeng knew that Ye Lingxiao had helped her again.

“Thank you…” Lin Wanmeng had just moved forward when she realized that she was wrapped in the bedsheets.

Wait, bedsheets?!

Lin Wanmeng was shocked. At this moment, the entire bed was in a mess. It was as if 300 people had rolled across the bed.

She was wrapped in a bedsheet, while there was only a thin blanket covering Ye Lingxiao.

The clothes she had worn yesterday had been shredded into pieces and thrown to the ground.

Following Lin Wanmeng’s gaze, Ye Lingxiao also noticed the madness last night. He pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

“Cough cough, President, are you awake?” Secretary Zheng, who was holding the key in his hand, carefully leaned against the door and asked.

He had been guarding the door since early in the morning, but he had not heard any commotion.

The door was still locked. Ye Lingxiao pulled a towel from the side and stood up to open the door.

Lin Wanmeng closed her eyes. Her face was red as she curled up on the bed like a quail.

“Prepare two sets of clothes. Also…”

Lin Wanmeng pricked up her ears, trying to distinguish the details of Ye Lingxiao’s communication with Secretary Zheng. At this moment, her phone, which she had left on the carpet, suddenly rang.

Upon closer inspection, there were more than 60 missed calls from last night alone. Most of them were from people working in the company.

Lin Wanmeng thought for a moment and dialed Zhou Quan’s number.

The other party picked up almost instantly. “CEO Lin, are you alright? We couldn’t contact you the entire night yesterday.”

Lin Wanmeng’s voice was still a little hoarse. She cleared her throat and asked, “Did something happen to the company?”

Although Ye Lingxiao said that he would help her deal with CEO Yu, the two companies would definitely not cooperate anymore. They should be able to receive the news of the withdrawal this morning.

Lin Wanmeng did not expect that Ye Lingxiao had also given him a kick after her stab. At this moment, CEO Yu was still lying in the hospital, unconscious.

“The company is fine. It’s just that CEO Yu’s reputation is not good. I’m a little worried about your safety.”

Lin Wanmeng’s heart warmed. Although this order was gone, she encouraged herself in her heart when she thought about how this company still had to rely on her.

“I’m fine. It’s just that this order might be gone.”

“It’s alright.” Zhou Quan’s voice sounded a little excited. “Do you know about Yueming Clothing?”

Yueming Clothing?

Lin Wanmeng had done market research. This was an independent clothing company that was quite famous.

He heard that the He Corporation was supporting them, but he didn’t know if it was true. It was just that the two companies did cooperate a lot.

“Their company read our proposal and expressed interest in working with us.”

“I’ve already sent someone to discuss the exact funds this morning!”

Lin Wanmeng was stunned for a moment. She did not expect things to turn around at the fork in the road.

“I’ll be at the office right away.” Lin Wanmeng walked to the door with the bedsheets draped over her shoulders. Coincidentally, Assistant Zheng placed the clothes on the coffee table beside her.

She grabbed the clothes. As she leaned forward, she forgot that she was only wearing a white cloth, and her snow-white skin was exposed.

Ye Lingxiao was talking to Assistant Zheng. When he saw what Lin Wanmeng did, his face darkened and he used his body to block Assistant Zheng’s line of sight.

How could Lin Wanmeng think so much? She hurriedly changed her clothes and got dressed.

“What are you doing?” Ye Lingxiao closed the door and stood in front of her.

After yesterday’s incident, Ye Lingxiao was traumatized by the fact that Lin Wanmeng had gone out to negotiate with others.

He narrowed his eyes. If the woman in front of him was willing to repeat the previous proposal, it was not impossible for him to help.

“There’s a meeting at the company. President Ye, please excuse me!”

Without even giving Ye Lingxiao time to reply, the woman slipped past him like an agile hummingbird.

Ye Lingxiao held his forehead. Xia Qing, who had just received the news, rushed over. When she saw Ye Lingxiao’s gaze, she could not help but feel a little guilty.

The man was silent for a moment. His cold eyes swept across Xia Qing. It was almost noon, but Xia Qing immediately broke out in cold sweat!

“There’s no next time.”

Xia Qing shivered. She gritted her teeth and supported her weak body. “Got it.”

Ye Lingxiao turned around and looked at the messy bed. He recalled Lin Wanmeng sobbing on it and could not help but feel complicated.
