Free Web NovelChapter 291: Chapter 297: Ye Zi hopes that they won’t be angry anymore_1
Inside.
Ye Zi had already arrived.
In fact, it was she who had encouraged Sui Qinglan to invite Ye Ning and Mu Yeli over for dinner today.
Ye Zi was currently sitting with Sui Qinglan, gently saying, "Auntie, I really worry about her. Ye Ning is not the person she’s been portrayed as. The rumors must be false."
Lately, Sui Qinglan had been harboring a good impression of Ye Ning, feeling that she couldn’t be as despicable as the rumors made her out to be. So while she was indeed angry, she was not furious, "Those people outside just love to spread rumors. Ye Ning is the type to stir up trouble even when there isn’t any."
However, Ye Zi noticed that while she said these things, there was an underlying resentment that remained. It was as if the mere mention of Ye Ning made her uncomfortable, as if she was pushing her away.
Ye Zi could only continue to wear a warm smile, "Please don’t blame her. I’m just worried that the two might argue. You know how temperamental Yeli can be, especially given the rumors."
She says these words, but inside she’s bursting with joy.
Ye Ning had it coming. freewebnovel.cσ๓
She wondered if Mu Yeli had already given Ye Ning a good dressing down. Given the gravity of the situation, surely, she wouldn’t have escaped punishment? Mu Yeli might not raise his hand against a woman, but his subordinates weren’t as scrupulous.
Even if she was beaten, it served Ye Ning right!
She was eager to see Ye Ning and Mu Yeli walk in.
At that moment...
"Madam, Young Master and Young Mistress have arrived."
"Good, let them in. Keep an eye on the Young Master and don’t be too harsh on Ye Ning. That child..."
Unable to help herself, Ye Zi straightened herself to look out.
She saw Ye Ning and Mu Yeli walk in hand in hand.
Ye Ning was still radiant with joy, and Mu Yeli still looked as aloof as ever.
Sui Qinglan was surprised, "They both seem fine."

Ye Zi’s expression shifted slightly.
Sui Qinglan held Ye Zi’s hand, "Ah, it seems your worries were unfounded. They seem to be getting along just fine."
Upon entering, Ye Ning and Mu Yeli spotted Ye Zi.
Seeing Ye Zi, Ye Ning’s eyes filled with amusement, "Sis, you’re here too."
Ye Zi gave a small laugh and seeing Ye Ning clinging to Mu Yeli’s arm, her whole body pressed against him, a feeling of irritation and frustration welled up within her.
As if intentionally, Ye Ning further leaned on Mu Yeli, resting her chin on his shoulder, "I’m hungry, can we eat now?"
Mu Yeli glanced at Ye Zi and responded to Ye Ning, "Hungry already? Let’s go eat."
Upon hearing Mu Yeli’s words, the first thing that came to Sui Qinglan’s mind was, "This soon... Could she be...?"
She hastily stood up and ordered, "Quickly, have the kitchen prepare the food. Didn’t you hear them say they’re hungry?"
The servant hurried off after the order.
Ye Zi watched the pair with a forced smile, "You two are okay, right? I was so worried about you guys, but seeing you both together like this, I feel relieved."
Looking at the pair, Ye Zi thought to herself, now that it’s been brought up, can Mu Yeli keep pretending?
Ye Ning laughed, "What’s wrong? Sis, what are you talking about?"
"No... Nothing..."
Ye Ning said, "Let’s go, I’m starving."
"Rightly so, you ate so little before." Mu Yeli softly chided her, but his tone was full of affection.
Behind them, Ye Zi felt a cold chill in her heart.
