The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

"I don't care! Get out!"

Lin Chuxing was already insecure about her ability to handle Xiao Ye, and now some woman had the gall to come and seduce him right in front of her.

She was in a complete panic, unable to remain calm. She grabbed Yin Zixin's arm again. "Get out!"

"You're from a minor family. What important business could you possibly have?!"

"And if there really is something, send someone else! A shameless woman like you can get the hell away from me—the farther, the better!"

As she was being dragged, Yin Zixin looked pitifully at Xiao Ye. "Mr. Xiao, I really do have important business."

"It's about the Golden Saber. Please... don't let Miss Lin throw me out, okay? I'll leave on my own as soon as I'm done talking."

Although the woman had an innocent face and gave off a harmless vibe, Xiao Ye saw the calculation in her eyes.

'This woman really is up to no good.'

'This Lin Chuxing might be a bit of an airhead, but a woman's sixth sense is surprisingly accurate.'

Xiao Ye nodded. "I understand."

He looked at Lin Chuxing and said coldly, "Let go."

A flash of joy appeared on Yin Zixin's face. She realized the Patriarch of the Xiao Family was even less gentle with Lin Chuxing than he was with her.

'Doesn't that mean I have a better chance?'

'My sister may have failed in the past, but that doesn't mean I don't have a shot!'

'Her greatest dream in this life was to marry into a wealthy, powerful family!'

'And the Xiao Family was the pinnacle of what she could reach—the pinnacle of the entire Dragon Country!'

'No matter what, she had to give it a try today!'

"Mr. Xiao, I promise I'll leave as soon as I'm done. Is that okay?" She glanced at her arm. "My arm... it hurts so much!"

Xiao Ye spoke again. "Let go, Lin Chuxing. Don't make me say it a third time!"

Lin Chuxing finally let go. She was furious—furious that Xiao Ye wouldn't even show her a bit of tenderness in front of an outsider!

'Even if it was just an act, he wasn't even willing to pretend!'

'If this bitch were to spread word of what happened today, she would immediately become the laughingstock of the entire Imperial City!'

"Xiao Ye, you..."

Xiao Ye didn't listen to Lin Chuxing at all, turning instead to Yin Zixin. "Is your arm okay?"

Yin Zixin was very fair-skinned, so the red marks on her wrist looked quite alarming. She feigned strength but furrowed her brow slightly. "I'm fine."

'Such a resilient little white flower.'

"Mr. Xiao, thank you."

"Come with me. We'll talk in the study."

Without a backward glance, Xiao Ye led Yin Zixin toward the study.

Left behind, Lin Chuxing gritted her teeth in fury!

Suddenly, Yin Zixin glanced back. The pitiful look from before was gone, replaced by an expression full of smugness and provocation.

The corner of her mouth curled up slightly in a mocking smirk.

It was as if she were laughing at what Lin Chuxing had just done!

Lin Chuxing trembled with rage. She recalled her godfather's words and steeled her resolve.

'It seems... I really have no choice but to use that method!'

'Xiao Ye, don't blame me. You forced me to do this!'

She rushed back to her room, poured out a pill, and put it in her mouth. Then, without a second thought, she ran upstairs and stopped at the study door.

The study door was slightly ajar, and she could clearly hear the voices from inside.

Lin Chuxing slowly crouched down, positioning herself so she could see inside through the crack.

Inside, Xiao Ye and Yin Zixin were sitting opposite each other.

The handsome man and the beautiful woman actually looked like a well-matched pair.

"Miss Yin, what did you want to tell me?"

Yin Zixin glanced at Xiao Ye before quickly lowering her head, deliberately putting on a shy expression.

"Mr. Xiao, what I wanted to talk about is the matter of the Golden Saber."

"My father has investigated some new clues. I'm not sure if they'll be of any use."

With that, she took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to him.

Xiao Ye opened it. It was handwritten. The script was neat and elegant, and the paper gave off a faint, pleasant scent.

'This bit of information could have easily been relayed over the phone or by text. There was no need to send someone in person.'

'And it certainly didn't need to be handwritten, unless it was meant to prove a point.'

Xiao Ye gave a half-smile. "Miss Yin, did you write this?"

Yin Zixin bit her lip and gave a barely perceptible nod. "Yes, I wrote it. Is it awful...?"

"Not at all. As they say, the handwriting reflects the person. Your script is very beautiful, Miss Yin."

Hearing their conversation, Lin Chuxing nearly fainted from anger.

'She had never heard Xiao Ye engage in such pointless pleasantries, asking if she was the one who wrote it.'

'He was clearly interested!'

Previously, Lin Chuxing had always thought that Xiao Ye was cold to her because of Lin Chuyue.

But it turned out Xiao Ye was just another fickle scumbag!

Lin Chuxing touched her own face, a sudden realization dawning on her.

'It must be because her face was so similar to Lin Chuyue's that Xiao Ye found her boring.'

'After all, he'd already had one of them; getting another similar one wasn't interesting. Yin Zixin, on the other hand, was a completely different type!'

In the study, the conversation continued.

Xiao Ye pushed a cup of tea toward her.

Yin Zixin took it, but then cried out in alarm as the tea spilled all over Xiao Ye.

"I'm so sorry!"

She immediately stood up, hurried over to Xiao Ye, and took out a handkerchief to help wipe it off.

"Sniffle... I'm so sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

As she wiped, she didn't forget to be provocative.

Her little hand circled endlessly over his lower abdomen, moving lower and lower...

Xiao Ye frowned slightly and pulled back, but he didn't move too far away, merely turning his body to the side.

By doing so, he happened to block half of Yin Zixin's body from view.

In reality, there was a distance between them, but from the outside, it looked as if Yin Zixin was still wiping his body.

"That's enough. I can do it myself."

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry." Yin Zixin looked as if she were about to burst into tears. "No matter how much this outfit costs, I'll compensate you for it."

"Mr. Xiao, could I have your contact information? I'll transfer the money as soon as I have it."

"I'm not relying on my family right now; I'm working part-time on my own, so it... it might take a little time."

Lin Chuxing's eyes burned with fury as she watched.

'This damn bitch! She was clearly putting on an act!'

'From her outfit at the beginning to her handwriting and now this story about working part-time, it was all to create a persona for herself as a resilient little white flower!'

'That kind of woman was extremely attractive to men. Once you pique a man's curiosity, it's not a long way to genuine affection!'

Xiao Ye made an excuse and dismissed Yin Zixin.

However, he didn't send her from the Xiao Family residence, but instead let her rest there for the day.

Lin Chuxing's sense of crisis deepened.

She glanced at the time. The pill she took should have taken effect by now.

The pill she had taken was a drug that promotes pregnancy. To be effective, one had to engage in intimate relations within half an hour of taking it.

This would increase the probability of conception by about 30%.

However, the drug was slightly harmful to the body, so it was best to take it sparingly.
