Chapter 472: Chapter 472

On this end of the phone, Ye Ling saw Zhao Guodong laughing happily and didn’t interrupt him. She just waited for him to chatter away joyfully on the other end until Zhao Guodong asked if she had thought of any idea. Only then did Ye Ling speak indifferently.

"Have you laughed enough? I thought you hadn’t had enough laughter. If you haven’t, keep laughing. I have plenty of time."

Being called out like that by Ye Ling, Zhao Guodong on the other end sheepishly rubbed his nose, "You see, it’s just because I’m happy. Are you unhappy? Or did you have a fight with someone? Why do I hear such a low tone from you?"

"He’s so far from me, how could I fight with him?" Ye Ling didn’t tell the truth, then replied to Zhao Guodong’s question, "For now, I haven’t thought of any idea, but with Ye Qian’s nature, I know how to deal with her. It’s just about whether you dare or not."

"There’s nothing I don’t dare to do, just say it!" Zhao Guodong was really up to anything after being stirred up by Ye Qian.

Ye Ling smiled slightly, "Actually, it’s simple. Just find an opportunity to make a scene with Ye Qian in front of the Liu Family and bring out your suspicion. People always say suspicion is like a seed; once planted, it will grow on its own over time."

Zhao Guodong scratched his head, steeled his heart, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

"You really trust me, huh!" Although Ye Ling knew he would trust her, hearing him say it so directly, Ye Ling was still surprised, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll use you, not think through things? I’m just joking with you, don’t believe me. I do have another plan. But this matter requires me to go back personally."

"You’re pregnant now, are you sure you can come back?" Zhao Guodong hoped Ye Ling would return, then suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.

"Why does it sound like you don’t want me to come back, or are you afraid I’ll discover something?" Ye Ling couldn’t help but tease him after hearing his reaction. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N0velFire.ɴet

Zhao Guodong stammered for a while, knowing he couldn’t hide it, he finally told her about the situation with Liu Nan. Ye Ling, upon hearing it, couldn’t help but feel happy for them, laughing and saying it’s a good thing, while Zhao Guodong blushed on his end.

"Don’t laugh at me. What’s your idea, quickly tell me. I was so anxious last night that I couldn’t sleep, just hoping to hear your idea today. If you don’t tell me now, I still won’t be able to sleep."

"It’s nothing much, I know Ye Qian’s temperament the best, so I know how to get her to admit to the matter herself." Ye Ling couldn’t just express her suspicions outright, saying that Ye Qian has feelings for Shen Bin was out of the question.

Now that Shen Bin was involved, Ye Ling couldn’t stand by idly.

"Okay, when are you coming back? Have you booked the ticket?" Zhao Guodong didn’t ask further, steeling his heart, "Do you need me to come pick you up? I made a call to Weilai during the New Year; he’s doing well over in Shenzhen. He said his business is picking up and he’s made a bunch of new friends, getting into real estate with people. He heard you’re pregnant and even mailed a lot of baby clothes to me, and I was thinking about mailing them to you, but since you’re coming back, that’ll save the trouble. I’ll just bring them to the compound."

"I don’t lack things here, just tell him that since he’s just starting his business, he doesn’t need to worry about me." Ye Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about Shen Bin, her lips slightly curled with even a hint of coldness, "I’ll rush back these days, I’ll let someone else book the ticket, so you don’t need to worry. Once I’m home, I’ll contact you."

She also instructed Zhao Guodong to stay calm, and then they hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Ye Ling didn’t hurry home but sat in the chair for a while, thinking about how to talk to her father before getting up to go home.

Once at home, Ye Ling told her father about her plan to return to the compound. Ye He Ping listened to his daughter say that, looked at her seriously.

"Has something happened over there?"

Ye Ling laughed, "You’re overthinking it, what could happen? Look, I’m quite pregnant now, and since I’ll need a maternity leave anyway, I might as well go back to the compound, there’s no one to take care of me here."

His daughter had always been self-reliant, never thinking about seeking care from others. Ye He Ping thought there must be something she wasn’t telling him, something to avoid worrying him.

He didn’t press further, "Alright, since you’re going back, you need to submit a request to take leave. Once the leave is approved, you can start packing. But I’m going back to the countryside to farm, so how about this, I’ll take you back first, then head to my hometown."

This was the kind of plan where change comes faster than plans. Ye He Ping had planned that once spring came, he’d return to his hometown, look after the old family house, and cultivate his small plot of land. It was good to be by himself, taking strolls in the village when there was nothing to do.

This way, he could avoid the quarrels from his ex-wife and lessen the burden on his kids. However, the downside was he couldn’t help the kids much.

"Dad, don’t overthink it, and don’t worry. It’s really nothing. Originally, I’d hoped you’d come with me instead of going back to the hometown, but I know if I drag you back, you’d have nothing to do and be even more bored there, so not letting you go back to farm would leave you with no purpose. I thought that my mood would be better too." She had thought about all aspects last night, "So I thought it would be better for you to wait until Shen Bin and I are transferred back, settle in the city, and then you can come back and help us look after the kids, or just live with us."

"There’s no need for you to always worry about me. I’m not that old yet, I can manage fine on my own. It’s good in the hometown. I don’t want to return to the city; you know your mother’s temperament. Whenever she sees me, she’ll try every way to stir things up. I really am fed up. I just want to live the few remaining years peacefully, without fights."

Ye Ling felt a wave of sadness upon hearing her father speak like that.

The father and daughter didn’t say much more, Ye Ling went ahead to write her report and submitted it. Ye He Ping also asked if Shen Bin knew, and after his daughter said she had already talked to Shen Bin, he didn’t press further.

In the city, Shen Bin really didn’t know that his little wife would act on her words. He thought she was just being impulsive, but she actually submitted an application to start her maternity leave earlier.

By the time Shen Bin found out, her maternity leave had already been approved.

Meanwhile, after hanging up, Zhao Guodong headed to the hospital. He remembered Ye Ling’s words but once he got anxious, he just forgot everything.
