Chapter 501: Chapter 501: My Wife Turned into My Sister

Fifteen minutes later, a group of people arrived at a high-end restaurant and, led by the waiter, entered a luxurious private room.

Soon, the three of them settled into the chosen private room, picked up the menus to order several dishes each, and then sat down at a long, rectangular table by the window.

The table was carved from wood, and below it were soft, genuine leather sofas; the surrounding environment was quite pleasant.

After sizing each other up a few times, they naturally struck up a conversation.

Once the waiter brought over the wine and juice, Lin Tong picked up a glass of red wine and, smiling, toasted Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, come, let me toast to you, the hero, for securing the overseas agency rights with the William Group!"

"The CEO is too kind, I didn’t do much; you were the one who negotiated the contract, so the credit belongs to you."

Ye Xuan responded with a polite remark and likewise raised his glass, clinking it with Lin Tong’s.

After drinking, Lin Tong pursed her lips but knew that the people from the William Group had been incredibly arrogant at first. If it weren’t for Ye Xuan’s silver ring, which brought about a crucial reversal at the key moment, the agency rights would have been unattainable!

Upon hearing their conversation, Su Yumo expressed her shock, "Tongtong, Ye Xuan secured the overseas agency rights with the William Group?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan gave Lin Tong a look. After pondering for a moment, Lin Tong said, "Hmm, Ye Xuan gave some constructive advice. Although he wasn’t present, it was acknowledged by the William Group, which is why the agency rights were successfully signed."

Su Yumo looked on in amazement after hearing Lin Tong’s explanation.

Initially, she was in charge of this project, but she had been kidnapped by a fiend sent by the Ice Demon during the negotiations.

Later, when she phoned Lin Tong, she was told the contract had been successfully concluded. She had thought it was Lin Tong’s accomplishment, not realizing it was all thanks to Ye Xuan.

However, what intrigued her was that Ye Xuan had been with her at the time, trying to rescue her.

What kind of suggestion did he offer that facilitated the successful negotiation of the contract?

"Yumo, what do you think? I told you this guy would be of great use! If we hadn’t kept him around, we would have lost the agency rights this time."

Lin Tong changed the topic and said with a laugh.

"Alright, I admit it, you indeed have a discerning eye, able to recognize the true potential in him, letting this gold nugget shine."

Su Yumo responded helplessly, her expression filled with emotion.

She now fully agreed with Lin Tong. If not for her, how could her bizarre illness have been cured? Without Ye Xuan, she would still be facing the threat of death!

In three months, her life would have come to an end. She probably wouldn’t even know how she died. Furthermore, Grandma Li’s heart condition wouldn’t have improved either.

And all of this was because of Ye Xuan!

Had Lin Tong not mentioned it, she wouldn’t have realized how much this man had impacted her life, already deviating from her original life trajectory.

Unaware that her words had evoked such reflection in Su Yumo, Lin Tong continued jokingly, "We have Ye Xuan as our secret weapon. Future negotiations will be a breeze! Think about it; those wealthy businessmen nearly always suffer from affluent illnesses, right? With Ye Xuan’s expert medical technique, as soon as he wields his miraculous needle, our contracts will be in hand."

"Heh, you’re not wrong; that’s a pretty good method. We’ll bring this guy along for future negotiations."

Su Yumo said with a light laugh, covering her mouth.

Ye Xuan, feeling somewhat dissatisfied on the sideline, interjected, "Hey? You two are making decisions for me without asking my opinion? I helped the CEO accomplish such a big deal this time, and yet the CEO doesn’t give me any reward. The world is really unfair!"

"Cut it out. Haven’t I given you enough rewards? One should know when enough is enough. It’s not good to be greedy!"

Lin Tong gave Ye Xuan a slight glance, her pretty face holding a hint of menace, and spoke with a pressing tone.

"Please! CEO, you can’t be like this! The moment I ask for a reward, you make that face. Are you afraid I’m going to eat you or something?"

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, leaning back on the sofa with a lazy air.

Hearing this, Lin Tong sneered internally, Do I not understand your thoughts? With you being such a greedy villain, if I don’t get tough on you, you’ll definitely seize any opportunity to climb higher.

In the end, you’ll swallow me—the CEO—whole! Hah, like I wouldn’t be prepared for you, this pervert?

Lin Tong had long seen through all of Ye Xuan’s ploys and would never let herself fall so easily into the wolf’s jaws!

Thinking this to herself, Lin Tong said coolly on the surface, "Don’t you have any idea? I’ve already given you the rewards you deserved! If you want more rewards, then contribute diligently to the company, and naturally, I won’t let you down."

Her words sounded perfectly fine on the surface, just like a leader encouraging an employee.

But the underlying meaning was something only she and Ye Xuan could appreciate!

"Hehe, thanks for the encouragement, CEO. I’ll definitely roll up my sleeves and get to work, to earn another reward from the CEO as soon as possible."

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, his face full of excited glee, smiling in a rather sleazy and smug way.

On the side, Su Yumo looked at them suspiciously. That conversation sounded a bit odd—it seemed like they were playing some kind of guessing game, which was quite intriguing!

With thoughts racing, Su Yumo’s red lips slightly parted as she spoke, "Lin Tong, aren’t you and Ye Xuan friends? Now that we’re having a private dinner, there’s no need to maintain that employee attitude, right? It feels very impersonal and not at all like how you would treat a friend."

After pausing, she turned to look at Ye Xuan and said, "Ye Xuan, it’s the same for you. Since we’re all friends here, stop calling her CEO. Call her Lin Tong like I do, otherwise it also sounds awkward."

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, sensing that this little girl was quite shrewd!

He looked over at Su Yumo, his gaze as if it could see through everything, deep and revealing, leaving her no place to hide.

Felt by Ye Xuan’s gaze, Su Yumo’s pretty face blushed, as if her own thoughts were completely exposed under those eyes, making her look away in slight guilt, but she still pretended to be casual on the surface, afraid of being discovered.

Ye Xuan chuckled inwardly, but said aloud, "That... it’s not up for me to decide, you have to ask CEO Lin. I wouldn’t dare to call her that unless she agrees."

Lin Tong glared at Ye Xuan with irritation. What do you mean you ’dare not’? Is there anything in this world you wouldn’t dare do? Who the hell came up with nicknames like ’Tongtong’ and ’Dearie’?

She took a deep breath and said with a twist of her lips, "This guy becomes reckless at the drop of a hat. If I didn’t constrain him with these rules, he’d already be acting lawlessly, getting into all kinds of sneaky trouble! So, to keep him in line, I can only display the CEO’s authority to keep him under control."

She said this to Su Yumo, who nodded vigorously, obviously very empathetic.

As the words settled, Lin Tong gave Ye Xuan a deep look before continuing, "However, Yumo does make a point. After all, we’re gathering privately now, and if we continue using our company titles, it could distance our relationships..."

With that, Lin Tong glanced at Ye Xuan, smiling, "Alright, I’ll let you off today. Ye Xuan, don’t call me CEO anymore, just call me Lin Sister from now on!"

Whaaat?

Lin Sister!

Ye Xuan’s face was a picture of bewilderment.

Isn’t this turning a wife into a sister?
