Chapter 460

"No, no, don't say that. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Seeing Li Yuxin's expression, Ye Lingtian was utterly speechless. He knew she had a point. Although he desperately wanted to expand the company and make the Ye Lingtian brand more renowned, he would never resort to rolling on the floor and throwing a tantrum, as Li Yuxin described. He couldn't do something like that, nor could he bear the shame.

"Alright, alright, everything you say is right, everything you say is right. Can you please just stop? I was wrong, okay? Please, just stop."

Ye Lingtian immediately surrendered.

"Hmph!"

Li Yuxin glared at Ye Lingtian, but ultimately couldn't help but crack a smile.

"How about that? I'm doing all of this for your own good, aren't I? So, are we having dinner at my place tonight or yours? Hmm?" Li Yuxin asked.

"Uh... about that, maybe not tonight. I have something to do this evening. Something came up... at the military base." Ye Lingtian said, a little hesitantly.

"Something at the military base... what is it?" Li Yuxin asked, a little curiously.

"Uh... you don't really need to know about this, do you? It's just... somewhat related to me." Ye Lingtian said dismissively.

"Don't try to pull one over on me. You're out messing around with your unfaithful lover, aren't you? Let me tell you, don't think I'm unaware." Li Yuxin guessed it instantly, her face darkening as she spoke.

"What philandering lover? I'm telling you, Yuxin, don't just spout nonsense, or you'll only confuse yourself." Ye Lingtian pretended to misunderstand Li Yuxin's words.

"Are you still pretending? Let me tell you, when I went out today, I saw a woman downstairs from your place – a very beautiful woman, dressed very similarly to you. So I specifically followed her home, and I saw her. She lives right downstairs from you. Tell me, who is she? Are you with her every day? Confess!" Li Yuxin completely erupted, like an enraged lioness, glaring at Ye Lingtian through gritted teeth.

"You... what in the world are you talking about?" Ye Lingtian stared wide-eyed at Li Yuxin, then said, "Yuxin, what exactly are you trying to say? Can you please not talk nonsense out here? If you have something to say, let's go home and discuss it."

"Go home? What home? In your current state, can I possibly go home with you? I'm telling you, Ye Lingtian, I've already said it: I won't give you any more chances. This is your last chance. If you utter one more 'no,' I... I will immediately tell my dad and my mom. I'll have them investigate you and that shameless mistress of yours. I'll make sure you never get to be with me in this life." Li Yuxin wore a look of intense anger and resentment.

"Yuxin, what... what are you doing? What kind of logic is that?" Ye Lingtian was completely bewildered by Li Yuxin's outburst. He knew she was angry, but he had no idea why she was so incredibly furious.

"My logic is this: either you marry me, or you don't. If you marry me, then we'll be legally wedded, a proper married couple. You'll have both the obligation and the right to do anything to me. Conversely, if you don't marry me, then we won't be considered husband and wife; we'll simply be ordinary friends. In that case, you shouldn't do anything to me, and your talk of being responsible for me would sound even more like a joke. Tell me, which do you choose?" Li Yuxin stared coldly at Ye Lingtian as she asked.
