Chapter 332: Resembling an Injured Little Beast

All along, the old man had seen in him nothing but his abilities. Because of his mother, the elderly man had preferred Lin Jingxuan. It was not until he had discovered that that grandson had grown up to become a useless b.u.m that he had poured his attention on him instead.

He was well aware of this fact!

“Fine! Very well then!” Old Master Lin yelled at him before shooting a furious look at the woman.

I only have his best interest at heart, yet he doesn't appreciate my concern. Sooner or later, he's going to get hurt from all her deceit.

He had sent someone to look into this matter. Ye Erruo and Lin Jingxuan had been close when they had still been a couple. It was exactly like Su Qing Ning had said—the two of them had tried to elope, but their attempt to do so had failed. From then on, the woman's att.i.tude had pulled a one-eighty!

Even before then, he had heard news of the couple going steady and had been aware that his precious Xiao Ye had been fond of her. However, it was not until further investigation that he had realized that her relations.h.i.+p with his other grandson was not as simple as he'd thought. They were deeply in love with one another and, according to Su Qing Ning's words, Ye Erruo's love for Lin Jingxuan ran so deep that she could sacrifice her life for him.

Something's definitely fishy about her complete change of att.i.tude.

There must be something going on here.

That said, the elderly man saw no need to continue looking the young one up only to get snubbed in return. The latter did not give a hoot about anything the Lins had. On top of that, Mo Jiangye was not his only grandson.

Never mind that he refuses to acknowledge me as his grandfather. He even fell out with me over a woman! How capable of him indeed! One day, that woman will surely ruin him!

Since he insists on having his way, I'll just wait to see what happens to him!

“In that case, I'll think I've raised an ingrate!” He then heart-wrenchingly took his leave after saying this last sentence to his grandson.

“Raised?” Mo Jiangye scoffed in response. Ha!

Upon sensing the change in her husband's emotions, Ye Erruo hastily grabbed his hands and tried to distract him by saying, “Didn't you say you wanted to take me somewhere?”

“Yes. Let's go.” He put his arm around her waist as they climbed into the car.

It was very warm inside. The moment they boarded the car, the sullen man removed his wife's extra outer layers.

“You still have me.” She consoled him as she snuggled into her husband's embrace. He had truly done plenty of things for her sake.

“Yeah.”

She held his face in her hands and leaned in to give him a comforting smooch.

Quite naturally, the man would not just let the kiss end this way when she had actually taken the initiative. Although he started out as the pa.s.sive one, he soon dominated the kiss.

Her eyes flashed wide open at the abruptness of his kiss.

Meanwhile, the driver, who was driving the car steadily, sensed that something was amiss upon noticing the reflection on the window. Very tactfully, he raised the car's part.i.tion to give the couple some privacy.

“I only have you now, Baby Ruo,” Mo Jiangye whined weakly, sounding truly pitiful.

Her heart softened at the sight of his weak display. She was thus successfully deceived by his facade.

“Where are you taking me?” the woman asked all of a sudden, changing the topic of the conversation.

“I have an important last-minute meeting to attend.”

“Eh? Didn't you return Lin Teng to Old Master Lin? You have another company?”

He let out a low chuckle in his s.e.xy yet husky voice, which sounded like music to the ears.

“You've seriously underestimated your man's capabilities.”

Does she think that I have lost everything now that I no longer own Lin Teng?

How am I supposed to support her and give her a stable life if I have nothing at all?

“Your naughty hands need to behave!” The woman shot him a glare and gripped tightly his hands, which were up to no good.

He immediately gave her an aggrieved look in return.

“You're the only one that I can call family now, Baby Ruo,” the man, who resembled an injured little beast, choked out.

His reply put a frown and a pout on her face before she eventually gave up stopping his advances.

When he saw that she was acting all tamed and docile now, a naughty gleam flashed across his eyes and his lips tugged upward in a wicked smirk.
