She Just Doesn't Accept Me

Ye Chenglin opened her mouth and quickly explained, "I was patrolling the area outside."

She could not say she ran outside because she was angry with An Jiuyue and did not want to see or serve her.

It would be over if she admitted this to him.

"Patrolling?" Qian Jiyun turned and glanced at An Jiuyue before looking at Ye Chenglin.

She was his subordinate, and he had sent her to take care of An Jiuyue. Yet, Ye Chenglin said she went out to patrol.

He knew An Jiuyue well. She did not even say much when Gong Cheng revealed that he had deliberately acknowledged Zheng'er and Rong'er as his sons.

However, she was now speaking unkindly to Ye Chenglin.

He sighed softly and put down his chopsticks slowly.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have sent someone unfamiliar to take care of you."

He spoke genuinely to An Jiuyue and swore to himself that there would not be a next time. He glanced at Ye Chenglin sternly.
