Chapter 456 - But... (2/2)

”She's asking around while holding the drawing of your husband's face...” Ning Jie explained while pulling out something from her sleeve. She gave Yao Ling a piece of dirty scroll. Yao Ling opened it with a trembling hand and indeed, it was Yao Ying's drawing. Fortunately, the painting only looked five to six points to Yao Ying --- maybe because she didn't have the money to hire a better painter.

”Do many people know about this matter?” Yao Ling asked worriedly.

”The woman has made such a big move. How could people not know about it? I'm pretty sure that people would soon realize that it's your husband. You should take care of this matter before it's getting bigger and turning into a mess,” Ning Jie said.

Yao Ling's body was trembling in fear. ”And then...? Has she found out anything about Yao Ying?” Yao Ling asked worriedly.

Ning Jie patted her hand. ”Don't worry! For the time being, I'm able to suppress this matter. Fortunately, the first person that she has asked was our people. We make a promise that we would tell her once we get more information about the man in the painting.”

The woman believed their people because the former had no other choice. Not only that, but she couldn't get out of the trope's tent for a long time.

Yao Ling nodded her head and said her thanks to Ning Jie. ”What a coincidence!” Yao Ling sighed in relief. At least, she could deal with the matter before it blew up. She felt really dizzy and started to massage her own forehead to calm herself down.

Ning Jie looked at her weirdly, feeling that Yao Ling was a bit funny.

”What?” Yao Ling asked while holding her face. ”Is there something on my face?”

”Why do you look so worried?” Ning Jie asked her out of curiosity.

Yao Ling bit her lower lip and finally, decided to tell Ning Jie everything. If she kept bottling up her feelings inside her mind, she would become crazy in no time. She had no confidence in herself --- it might be because of her pregnancy, she became more sensitive than usual.

Ning Jie flicked Yao Ling's forehead softly. Even though she was working for Yao Ling, the latter treated her like a dear sister so she did the same as well. Thus, she wasn't hesitant to say the next sentence.

”Why are you being so stupid?!” Ning Jie chided her.

Yao Ling held her forehead and pouted childishly. ”How could that be? I'm not stupid!”

Ning Jie rolled her eyes. ”You made a stupid decision this one time... and you don't even realize it yourself...”

”What do you mean?” Yao Ling asked in surprise.

”Shouldn't you trust your husband a bit more?” Ning Jie asked while raising one of his eyebrows.

Yao Ling couldn't answer Ning Jie because she knew by keeping this as a secret, it meant that she was doubting Yao Ying's feelings and personalities. ”But...” Yao Ling didn't know how to refute Ning Jie's words.
