Chapter 2567: Ripples in Her Heart  

Ning Yuan took Ye Yu’s car back.

Ye Yu asked the driver to drive Gu Fei’s car back for her.

Ye Yu drove personally while Ning Yuan sat in the front passenger seat.

Grandma’s words kept replaying in her mind.

He treated her as the future Princess Consort!

He had never said such things to her and she had always thought that he did not care about her.

Ning Yuan glanced at his well-defined side profile. After looking away, she looked back again after a few seconds.

This time, Ye Yu looked at her.

Their eyes met.

Ning Yuan felt a little guilty and embarrassed being caught by him.

“What are you looking at?”

Ning Yuan’s red lips curled up slightly. “I think you’re handsome.”

“You don’t have to tell me. I’ve known it since I was young,” he replied seriously.

Ning Yuan was amused by his serious and narcissistic appearance. “I think you’re the most handsome man in the world.”

Ye Yu looked at the admiration in Ning Yuan’s eyes and his thin and strong jawline tensed slightly. “Exaggerated.”

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!”

Ye Yu said nothing more, but his lips curled up slightly. When Ning Yuan looked at him again, she found that his ears under his short hair were slightly red.

She seemed to have discovered a new world.

Was this person shy from her praise?

What kind of person was the Second Prince? Why was he so shy?

Ning Yuan wanted to look at him again when he suddenly reached out his hand from the steering wheel and covered her eyes. “Don’t disturb my driving.”

Ning Yuan’s eyes that were covered by him curved into slits. She pulled his hand and blew lightly at his palm.

Ye Yu froze, his lips pursed tightly and his sexy Adam’s apple bobbed.

“Do you still want me to drive?” There was a trace of danger in his low and hoarse voice.

Ning Yuan let go of his hand with a bright smile.

“Don’t drive Gu Fei’s car next time. There are sports cars and sedans in the garage. Pick one and I’ll get Assistant Su to transfer it to your name.”

Ning Yuan was about to say something when she heard him say coldly and domineeringly, “You’re not allowed to refuse. My woman doesn’t even have a car. Wouldn’t she be a joke if word got out?”

Ning Yuan looked at his strong and unbelievably handsome appearance and her heart could not help but ripple.

….

After returning to the capital, Ning Yuan was busy with work for a few days.

Although Ye Yu was domineering, he was not tyrannical and would not force her to stay in the villa to rest.

She should continue working and live the way she wanted. He did his best to give her freedom.

After work that day, Ning Yuan called Auntie Wang and said that she was not going back for dinner. She drove to the office.

Although it was not her first time coming to the office, she came this time as Ye Yu’s girlfriend.

Her mood was completely different from before.

The guard did not stop her. After registering at the office, the front desk receptionist said to her, “I’ll call the higher-ups.”

Ning Yuan nodded. “Okay.”

After the receptionist finished her call, she told Ning Yuan, “His Highness is in a meeting. It might take more than an hour.”

“Then can I go up and wait for him?”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible. Secretary Yu’s assistant said that he will only reply to you after His Highness finishes his meeting.”

“Alright, then I’ll wait here.”

Ning Yuan waited for an hour, but Ye Yu did not come. Instead, Yu Guan came.

Yu Guan called Ning Yuan aside and looked at her with a frown. “You have to know your boundaries even if you’re fooling around. This is where His Highness works. Why are you here?”

Ning Yuan smirked, her smile bright and charming. “Of course I’m going back with him!”

Yu Guan looked at Ning Yuan with a complicated expression.

This vixen was really like a sticky candy that he could not shake off.

Yu Guan was about to say something when Assistant Su, who had received Ning Yuan’s message, came over. “Miss Ning, His Highness has finished his meeting. Please come up with me.”

Ning Yuan smiled and gave Yu Guan a meaningful look. “Secretary Yu, His Highness asked me to go up. Can I go up now?”

Yu Guan said with a smile that did not reach her eyes, “Go up! After all, Miss Ning is very capable and is about to climb up the ranks with the help of the Dragon Fetus. I’m afraid I’ll have to call you Princess Consort when I see you in the future.”

Ning Yuan said, “I’m looking forward to that day.”

Yu Guan watched as Ning Yuan followed Assistant Su into the exclusive elevator. Her smiling face darkened and her eyes seemed to be covered with a thick haze.

She never believed that the royal family would let a woman like Ning Yuan into their family.

Wouldn’t that be the biggest joke in the world?

….

When Yu Guan returned to the secretary’s office, her assistant was crying and tidying up the things on the table.

“Xiao Yu, what’s wrong?”

When the assistant saw Yu Guan, she said with red eyes, “Assistant Su just came to say that I was fired.”

Yu Guan was shocked.

“What reason?” Although she had already guessed it, Yu Guan still could not believe that Ye Yu could not differentiate between work and private matters.

“I didn’t ask that Miss Ning to come up. Sister Yu, you’re right. His Highness has been bewitched by that vixen.”

Yu Guan’s expression darkened and she patted the assistant’s shoulder. “Wait here, I’ll go find His Highness.”

Yu Guan walked to the door of the Second Prince’s office and was about to knock when she found that the door was not closed tightly. Through the gap, she saw Ning Yuan sitting on Ye Yu’s lap, her hands around his neck, pecking his firm and cold chin.

On the other hand, the man, who had always been cold and serious and cared about his image, let the woman do whatever she wanted without caring about impact.

Yu Guan was about to push open the door to remind them when she heard Ning Yuan’s coquettish voice. “Room 1092 in the bamboo forest in the south of the city is the first house my parents bought in the capital. There are memories of when I was young in it. Although it was sold later, I heard that the buyer owed a debt and that the suite was confiscated by the court. It will be auctioned soon.”

“I really want to buy that house back. Can you get Assistant Su to help me do this?”

“Sure.”

“Really? You’re too good to me.”

Seeing Ning Yuan shamelessly peck Ye Yu’s lips twice, Yu Guan left with a dark expression.

Back in the secretary’s office, he said to the assistant whose eyes were red, “You have relatives in court, right?”

The assistant nodded.

“Help me do something. Once it’s done, I’ll plead with His Highness to let you stay and continue working.”

“Sister Yu, tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you.”

….

After Yu Guan left the office, Ning Yuan quickly stood up from Ye Yu’s lap.

Ye Yu looked at her change of expression and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Are you testing Yu Guan? Do you suspect that she was the one who painted your father’s tombstone?”

Ning Yuan knew that Ye Yu trusted Yu Guan. If there was no direct evidence, it was unrealistic for him to believe that Yu Guan was behind it.

But this time, she would let Yu Guan show her true colors!
