My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 372: Chapter 0371: Has Tang Ning Become Obedient? (Three more)_1
 

“It’s all your fault, always making me laugh for no reason, and now we’ve been seen again,” Yang Xinyi grumbled from inside the car.

“Honey, you’re not actually that indifferent at heart, so why do you insist on putting on such a cool facade? In fact, being approachable can also work for an executive.”

“What do you know? It’s easier to manage people when you’re cool. Which boss integrates with their subordinates?”

“Alright, pretend I didn’t say anything,” Ye Xiong started the car and asked, “Where to?”

“Let’s go pick up Xiao Ning first!”

After that, Yang Xinyi didn’t mention anything about the scent of perfume on Ye Xiong.

This was a very good sign, indicating she was slowly starting to accept his flirtatious nature.

She probably figured that arguing was pointless. After all, who asked her to fall for a playboy?

Ye Xiong certainly wasn’t foolish enough to bring it up again. Women need to save face, and the fifty million was less about making her happy and more about giving her an out.

“It’s been a while since I saw Tang Ning, how is she doing in school?”

“Lately, Tang Ning has been much better behaved, almost like a completely different person,” Yang Xinyi said, somewhat puzzled.

“What happened?”

“It started when you were away on your business trip. She became quieter, not as talkative as before, less shameless. Maybe it’s because you weren’t around to influence her.”

Ye Xiong’s face darkened—was she calling him shameless?

Clearly, it was after Tang Ning had almost been assaulted at the swimsuit party and he had berated her—probably a wakeup call that prompted the change.

“Isn’t that good? You don’t have to worry so much.”

“It’s good, indeed, but something doesn’t sit right with me.”

Yang Xinyi liked quiet girls, but this change was too drastic for her to accept comfortably.

“I’m just afraid she’s suffered some setback. You know how teenage girls are during puberty; without the right guidance, things can easily go wrong.”

Ye Xiong thought back to the night when he and Yang Xinyi were being intimate and forgot to close the door, and the door moved slightly.

He was a bit worried that the peeking might have caused some psychological shadow on Tang Ning.

Arriving at Huadu University, they spotted Tang Ning waiting at the gate from afar.

She was wearing short denim jeans that showed off her long legs, which were tanned from the summer sun, not as white as before, but looking much healthier.

Her upper body was draped in a loose T-shirt, hiding her figure, making her less shocking to the world.

This girl had learned how to dress less revealingly, not as tight as before.

“Tang Ning, are you waiting for your cousin?” A bespectacled male student walked over.

Tang Ning nodded and stood quietly to the side, ignoring whatever else the young man asked.

The guy left feeling embarrassed.

This way of rejecting guys seemed different from her past behavior.

In the past, if Tang Ning did not tell him off directly, she would have at least scolded him, telling him to take a good look at himself in a puddle of urine, or else she would call for help from Ye Xiong, pretending that he was her boyfriend.

She truly had changed.

Seeing Tang Ning like this made Ye Xiong feel inexplicably distressed.

Honestly, he still preferred the shameless cousin who would cling to his arm and rub her chest against it while acting coquettishly. That kind of niece-in-law could make him, the cousin-in-law, burst with pride.

Which cousin-in-law doesn’t like to show off in front of his niece-in-law?

Ye Xiong suddenly remembered something very important.

If Yang Xinyi was not born to Yang Dingguo and his wife, wouldn’t it mean that if something happened between him and his niece-in-law, it wouldn’t be incest?

Tsk tsk, where are my thoughts going!

The car stopped, and the moment Tang Ning saw Ye Xiong, she ran over happily, exclaiming, “Cousin-in-law, you’re back?”

However, she quickly calmed down and reverted to the behavior of a good girl.

“Don’t you miss your cousin-in-law? You don’t seem excited at all,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

“I do miss you,” Tang Ning said, then she got into the car and sat in the back.

“Where shall we eat dinner tonight?” Ye Xiong asked.

“How about we go to the Mingyang International Hotel? I’ve heard from classmates that their Top Grade Chicken is really good,” Tang Ning suggested.

“No way.”

Ye Xiong would rather die than take two girls to eat there, especially if they ran into Sister Hua. How awkward that would be.

“Why not?” Tang Ning asked curiously.

“This kind of chicken, I can cook it, and make it a hundred times tastier than there. It’s just about roasting the chicken standing up, very simple.”

“But I heard that to roast that chicken, you need a very large oven. Do you have one at home?”

“We can go buy one.”

Anyway, there was no way he was going to take Yang Xinyi to Sister Hua’s hotel for dinner. Almost everyone at the hotel knew he had a fling with Sister Hua. Should they show up, a fiasco was inevitable.

“I’ve also heard that the Dongqi chicken is Mingyang International Hotel’s new specialty, quite famous.”

“Cousin, shall we go and try? It sounds good, doesn’t it?” Tang Ning hurriedly chimed in.

“Sure, your brother-in-law is working there. If we go, we’ll definitely get the best chicken.”@@novelbin@@

What was Xinyi thinking? She knew he didn’t want this and yet she was insistent on it?

If Sister Hua and Yang Xinyi met, certainly one of them would be upset. This was something Ye Xiong would not do, not even if his life depended on it.

But both women wanted to go, and to refuse would disappoint them both.

His eyes darting around, he came up with a ploy.

Soon, they arrived at the Mingyang International Hotel.

Just as Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning got out of the car, Ye Xiong smacked his forehead.

“I just remembered there’s a super important document at the office that I forgot to bring home. How about this, you two go ahead, and I’ll come right back after I get the documents.”

Without waiting for their response, Ye Xiong floored the accelerator and zoomed away.

Of all strategies, retreat is the supreme one.

Watching the car disappear, Yang Xinyi’s face turned dark momentarily before she let out a silent sigh.

Did she not understand Ye Xiong’s heart?

After leaving, Ye Xiong drove aimlessly around the streets since it was still early.

He wouldn’t be foolish enough to go in. It wasn’t too late to pick them up after their meal was finished.

The more suave one is, the harder one falls, alas!

Others were enjoying Dongqi chicken and lavish meals, yet poor him didn’t know where to fill his stomach.

Driving around without aim, somehow he found himself in front of a familiar small eatery.

Seeing the signboard of that small restaurant, Ye Xiong sweated. How could he unwittingly end up at Yang Xiaoqiao’s noodle shop?

Since he was there, he might as well get out of the car and grab something to eat.

Ye Xiong parked his Porsche worth over eight million by the roadside and walked towards the small noodle shop.

As he entered, an excited voice exclaimed loudly.

“Wow, so handsome!”

Xiao Qiao’s Mom sashayed in from the inside, eyes brimming with flirtation, her demeanor exceedingly coquettish.

Ye Xiong nearly turned tail and fled. What was Xiao Qiao’s Mom with that expression planning to do?

Caught off guard, she brushed past him and went straight to the car, her mouth agape, almost drooling over it.

“This looks like an eight-million-plus luxury car, I’m not seeing things, am I?” she rubbed her eyes.

Ye Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. So she wasn’t smitten with him, but with the car.

“Handsome, you’re here for Xiao Qiao, aren’t you?” Xiao Qiao’s Mom turned to ask.

“I’m just here to eat something,” Ye Xiong replied.

“Oh please, of every ten men who come here to eat dumplings, nine would say that.”

Suddenly, Xiao Qiao’s Mom whipped out her phone, dialed, and shouted, “Xiao Qiao, Mom accidentally tripped, I can’t get up…”

Hearing her words, Ye Xiong was momentarily lost for words.

Yang Xiaoqiao’s mother was really Top Grade!
