Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Took a Fancy to Him

He inwardly scoffed, thinking, "Why did this girl agree so readily? Turns out she wants to take advantage of me!"

Ye Xuan’s eyes twinkled as he grinned at Lin Tong, "Ms. CEO, considering I’m older than you, calling you ’Lin Sister’ seems improper—it might make you sound old. I think ’Lin Little Sister’ suits you better, it keeps you young! Don’t you agree?"

"Then you should call me Little Tong, just like Yumo does," Lin Tong replied with a roll of her eyes, resigned to accepting that name.

Moreover, the nickname ’Lin Little Sister’ always made her feel like that character ’Lin Little Sister’ from a television drama, which sounded awkward to her! She’d rather be called ’Little Tong,’ direct and to the point.

"Alright then, it’s your call since you’re the CEO; ’Little Tong’ it is," Ye Xuan shrugged indifferently.

Witnessing this exchange, Su Yumo pondered inwardly, seeing their behavior as not quite as intimate as she had imagined. If they had really progressed to a certain level, Lin Tong wouldn’t let Ye Xuan call her ’sister.’ It seemed like their relationship was still relatively normal.

With that thought in mind, Su Yumo’s tension relaxed slightly.

As long as their relationship wasn’t that kind, she felt reassured.

Just then, Ye Xuan turned his gaze toward Su Yumo, smiling amicably, "Manager Su, thanks for speaking up for me earlier; it has advanced my relationship with Ms. CEO... no, I mean with Little Tong! If one day Little Tong and I end up together, I definitely won’t forget your help."

Having just breathed a sigh of relief, Su Yumo’s mood instantly grew tense again upon hearing this!

This rascal actually harbored such intentions towards Little Tong? If he wanted to end up with her, wouldn’t the two of them...?

But then again, for a woman as outstanding and beautiful as Little Tong, which man wouldn’t harbor some thoughts? It was only natural for Ye Xuan, that lecher, to fancy her.

"Hehe, if you two really do end up together, I will certainly wish you well from the bottom of my heart."

Su Yumo forced a smile, but the smile quickly vanished from her face.

"Manager Su truly is Little Tong’s good friend; you’re loyal indeed," Ye Xuan said with a half-mocking smile.

Su Yumo remained silent.

Seeing the atmosphere sink into awkwardness again, Lin Tong nudged Ye Xuan with her foot and said to Su Yumo with a laugh, "Yumo, don’t listen to his nonsense. Who would end up with him? Even if I liked someone, it definitely wouldn’t be him. Have you ever seen a toad and a swan together?"

Lin Tong made her disgusted feelings clear through her expression, throwing a challenging glance at Ye Xuan:

A toad lusting after swan meat, if you manage to win me over, wouldn’t that just make you a toad? Hmph!

Su Yumo glanced at them both with suspicion, pursing her lips, "Pfft, who would believe that? With the high standards of the mighty CEO Lin, if she didn’t fancy him, would she speak up for him or let him call her ’Little Tong’?"

"I spoke up for him because his master saved my grandfather. The Lin Family owes him a debt of gratitude! Besides, I was trying to ease the tension between you two. Where did your mind go?" Lin Tong said impatiently, "And letting him call me ’Little Tong’ means I fancy him? Yumo, your imagination is too wild. In that case, why not say you fancy him since he calls you ’Yumo’?"

"You’re driving me mad, Little Tong! Are you off your meds or something? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hearing this, Su Yumo became somewhat flustered and immediately denied, "How could I possibly fancy him? Don’t you know how I feel about him? If it weren’t for your sake, I’d wish he’d drop dead! Even if all the men in the world died out, I wouldn’t spare him a glance."

Listening from the side, Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched.

Oh man, this girl’s really laying it on thick! She’s put me down so mercilessly; looks like someone’s little bum needs a spanking—it must be itching again.

Ye Xuan hid a mischievous smile deep in his heart as he sized up Su Yumo before intentionally stretching out his tone, "Oh... now I get it, so the reason Manager Su wanted me to call her Yumo yesterday was because of this!"

"Yesterday? What happened yesterday?" Lin Tong asked curiously.

From what Ye Xuan implied, it seemed he was with Su Yumo yesterday. What was this all about?

"It was nothing. Manager Su asked me for a favor yesterday, and then to thank me, she let me change how I address her to Yumo."

Ye Xuan cracked a grin, a hint of playfulness sparkling in his eyes as he said, "I didn’t get it at the time. Why would Manager Su, who has always been repulsed by me, allow me to change how I address her? But now it seems I have figured it out; it turns out Manager Su let me call her Yumo because she has taken a liking to me."

Su Yumo’s pretty face flushed red with anger, and she clenched her teeth, "You... Ye Xuan, don’t spout nonsense here! How could I possibly have taken a liking to you? Even if I liked a beggar, I wouldn’t like a lecher like you! Don’t flatter yourself!"

Ye Xuan played with the chopsticks in his hand, slowly and deliberately saying, "Manager Su, just now you were the one who said that if the CEO asks me to call Lin Tong by her nickname, it means he has taken a liking to me! But now it’s your turn, and you’re backtracking?"

"This is not the same, okay? Can you stop mixing things up? Besides, I was just joking with Lin Tong earlier. Who takes a joke seriously!"

Su Yumo, still huffing with rage, glared at Ye Xuan and loudly defended herself.

"Hey? Why are you two arguing again? Can’t we just have a nice meal? Alright, end this topic, and let’s not talk about it anymore."

Lin Tong frowned, intervening to cut off and end the dialogue between the two.

As her best friend, she knew Su Yumo’s temperament well. If this argument continued, it would surely escalate, and then they could forget about peacefully finishing their meal.

"Lin Tong, you guys go ahead and talk; I’m going to the restroom."

Su Yumo suddenly stood up, turned around, and left the private dining room for the restroom.

It was unclear whether she was embarrassed by what Ye Xuan said or truly angry!

Bang.

After Su Yumo left, Lin Tong slapped the table hard, her brows furrowing as she glared at Ye Xuan and scolded, "Haven’t I told you before not to purposely provoke Yumo? Didn’t you take my words to heart?"

"I wasn’t provoking her, okay? Didn’t you see that it was all her provoking me? I was merely joking."

Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders, his face the picture of innocence.

He remembered that a couple of days ago, he had made quite a few jokes with Su Yumo, but the woman didn’t seem too bothered by them. To his surprise, a few casual remarks today caused her to explode like a nuclear bomb!

Even he wasn’t sure at this point whether her reaction was genuine or an act.

"She’s a girl, so what if she tells you off a bit? Moreover, your jokes went too far, leaving a girl with nowhere to put her face!"

Lin Tong coldly rebuked him, her face sternly warning, "I understand Yumo’s character; she is reserved and doesn’t like people joking around! Especially with strangers, so don’t make these kinds of jokes with her again."

"Fine, the wife’s word is law! Haven’t I listened to you? Is not it enough if I just apologize to her?" Ye Xuan said helplessly.

"That’s more like it!"

Lin Tong’s expression softened slightly, and she didn’t continue on this topic. Instead, she brought up another question:

"Right, you said you were with Yumo yesterday. Weren’t you supposed to be out in the countryside over the weekend? What’s the deal with that?"
