Chapter 561: Chapter 564: Falling Out


    “No,” Ye Xinn coldly stared at her, “I want Mue Ting. Give me Mue Ting, and I’ll consider pleading on behalf of the Shi family. If you can’t do that, then let’s cut off all ties here and now. From this day forward, the Shi family and the Ye family will be enemies. Your Shi family shall never step foot into my Ye residence again!”


    The color drained from Shi Qianling’s face uncontrobly, bit by bit.


    She didn’t harbor any illusion of luck.


    Ye Xinn explicitly requested for Mue Ting, and his attitude towards her had turned so icy cold; it couldn’t be a coincidence.


    Did Ye Xinn… know about her rtionship with Mue Ting?


    How could this happen?


    She had been so careful.


    She was only affectionate with Mue Ting in the privacy of her own home.


    Outside the Shi residence, she and Mue Ting were like any ordinary master and servant, keeping a safe distance, not even sharing a flirtatious nce, leaving no trace of their secret rtionship. How could Ye Xinn have found out?


    She felt a panic she had never experienced before, yet managed to force a smile. “Since Brother Lan values Mue Ting so highly, I’ll have hime overter. Since he’s not on duty today, I didn’t bring him with me.”<div>


    “Really? How convenient,” Ye Xinn sneered, “Every time you see me, he’s not on duty. He sure knows how to enjoy life, takes a day off whenever he wants, especially when it coincides with when you’re meeting me. Your Shi family really know how to treat a bodyguard!”


    Shi Qianling’s head buzzed, her body swaying uncontrobly.


    Finally, she realized where the problemy!


    Mue Ting was young and deeply in love with her. He was filled with jealousy for Ye Xinn, who could openly be with her.


    She was afraid that Mue Ting wouldn’t control his expression and attitude when seeing Ye Xinn, revealing their secret.


    Every time she met Ye Xinn, she would not bring Mue Ting. Even if she did, she would make sure he stayed a great distance away.


    But whenever she wasn’t seeing Ye Xinn, Mue Ting would always be with her.


    She trusted Mue Ting.


    She believed that if she ever faced danger, Mue Ting would protect her, even if it meant sacrificing himself.


    She never imagined that such an insignificant detail would be the downfall of her secret rtionship with Mue Ting.


    Their secret rtionship has been exposed.


    And it had to be exposed when the circumstances were at their worst, at a time she desperately needed Ye Xinn’s support.


    She was struggling to maintain herposure, making sure she didn’t give herself away, yet her fear was so great that her facial features betrayed her anyway.


    Seeing this, was there anything left for Ye Xinn to question?


    He looked at Shi Qianling as if she was trash. With a cold voice, he said: “Enough, stop pretending. I know everything. Mue Ting is your lover. For all this time, I, the Young Master of the Ye family, have been sharing a woman with a lowly servant. Shi Qianling, you must be very pleased, aren’t you?”


    As she looked into Ye Xinn’s cold, repulsed eyes, terror gripped Shi Qianling’s heart. She stumbled and almost fell.


    She managed to steady herself, forcing a smile that looked worse than a cry. “Brother Lan, you’re mistaken! Mue Ting is just my bodyguard. How could there be anything more between us? Brother Lan, I…”


    “Shut up!” Ye Xinn cut her off with disgust. “Would I speak without evidence? Shi Qianling, your denials are useless! From this point on, all ties between you and me are severed. The Ye family and your Shi family are sworn enemies. Starting today, everyone who steps on your Shi family, counts as one of us, the Ye family!”
