Ye Yuning's head was throbbing.
"No, that won't work. I'm on a business trip; you shouldn't accompany me," she declined directly.
Xiao Linye's suggestion was entirely out of concern for her, a fact that was truly touching. But she didn't dare! If she hadn't kept it a secret from him from the start, it would have been fine for him to join her now. But now, it wasn't possible...
Xiao Linye said, "I happen to have some matters in Luozhou as well, so I could go there ahead of time."
"Really, there's no need. If you want to go, you can go by yourself. My boss gets furious at the mere sight of anyone from the Xiao Family right now."
Xiao Linye fell silent. Hearing Ye Yuning say that, he suddenly found himself unable to insist any further.
"Alright then, take care."
"Yeah, I know. I'm hanging up now!" Having said that, Ye Yuning hung up the phone directly.
The speed at which she hung up suggested she was genuinely worried Xiao Linye would insist on accompanying her, no matter what.
