Xiao Ye snorted coldly and looked at Lauren.

“I didn’t say that!” Lauren immediately denied it.

If she did not say it, he should not even think about accusing her!

“Then you are…” Xiao Ye drawled and his eyes narrowed.

At first glance, Xiao Ye looked very dangerous.

Lauren was not afraid, but she still had to say it clearly.

“I don’t mean anything by it. I just want to tell you that I will do what I promised you no matter what. Don’t worry about how and when I contact her, as long as she comes to treat you when the time is right!”

To contact Hundred Herbs, she had to expose her identity again. If Xiao Ye overheard, would not he be shocked to death?

It was better for her to be discreet. 

“Okay, sleep here.” Xiao Ye did not say anything else.

Lauren was even more speechless. “Bro, it’s not even night yet.”

She had always followed a regular timing. She would not go to bed until it was dark.

“What I mean is that you come over and put the quilt down. What do you think I can do to you like this? Or you want to sleep with me?” Xiao Ye’s thin lips moved slowly as he spoke word by word.

Lauren was embarrassed.

What was this all about?

“Xiao Ye, can you not be so direct with your words? I will leave you sooner or later. Do you think I will do that with you?”

In just a few seconds, Lauren had switched to her cold expression.

Even if she wants to, she would not do it with a man whose face could not be seen!

“Go to sleep by yourself. I will go to the balcony.” After saying that, Lauren ignored Xiao Ye.

It was not that easy to play the role of a good wife.

Xiao Ye called out to her and she immediately came to him. This was not acting, this was being a servant to him!

Lauren was very unhappy.

“Mr. Xiao, this is not part of the agreement we signed, right! I can play the role of a good wife, but can’t you find a servant to be by your side?”

She was a top-notch assassin, but she was a servant here. This was such a grievance!

“What if someone finds a maid to eavesdrop on our conversation and sees that we are just a partnership? This is just to train your adaptability.” Xiao Ye said as if it was a matter of course.

Lauren wanted to curse.

Her temper flared. 

“Do I need you to train my adaptability? When I was training, you were nowhere to be found!”

“Training?” Xiao Ye caught the keyword.

“In the countryside, if I don’t train for running or boxing, would I be like you city people who go to the KTV or the gym?” Lauren realized the slip of her tongue and quickly corrected herself.

Xiao Ye did not say anything. At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Ye signaled Lauren to open the door.

When Lauren saw the person standing at the door, her face instantly turned cold.

“What’s the matter?” Lauren asked very naturally, but her eyes had already betrayed her.

She stared at Xiao Mu in front of her sternly.

Xiao Mu handed her an exquisite box. “Sister-in-law, you and brother were newly married yesterday. As your younger brother, I didn’t have time to give you a gift yesterday. This is just a small gift. Please accept it.”

“Thank you.” Lauren did not tell Xiao Ye what had just happened. She did not want to cause any trouble now.

“Then I won’t disturb you. I’ll leave first!” Xiao Mu parted his lips, the smile on his face vile.

He turned around and left. Although Lauren was disgusted by Xiao Mu, she could not chase after him now.

“This is your younger brother’s wedding gift to you.”

Lauren handed Xiao Mu’s things to Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye did not accept them. He said coldly, “Throw it away.”

“Aren’t you going to take a look?” Although Xiao Mu was not a good person, he should at least glance at the things that were sent over?

“There’s nothing to look at.” Xiao Ye did not want to look, nor did he want to know what was inside.

Since Xiao Ye was not interested, Lauren did as he said and threw it directly into the trash can.

The next day, when the maid took out the trash, she thought it was something valuable and secretly put it away.

When she opened it when no one was around, she found two sets of sexy lingerie inside.

..

Xiao Ye went to the company.

Lauren admired him for this.

They shared the same bed last night. Fortunately, the bed was big and wide enough.

They did not have to be too close to each other.

What was admirable about Xiao Ye?

In the morning, he lifted dumbbells and dressed neatly to go to the company to handle business.

Lauren did not forget what she had to do.

However, before she could make the call, she received a call from Tom.

“Boss, where are you now? I’m already in C City.”

Tom’s actions were really fast. Could it be such a coincidence?

“Find a hotel first and send me the location. I’ll make a call and come over immediately.”

“OK.”

After hanging up, Lauren called Hundred Herbs..
