Chapter 936: Will He Be Kneeling on Washboards?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Through the camera on the laptop, Jian Yiling could clearly see the people who were currently in Mr. Kevin’s room.

She could see Zhai Yunsheng, Han Mengyu, Xing Wei, and their men.

The moment they saw Jian Yiling, the entire presidential suite went silent.

Oh my god!

Their sister-in-law!

The smile on Mr. Kevin’s face remained very bright.

“Master Sheng, could you tell me why your men from the Harmony League are investigating Miss Elim from XDL? Do you not trust her? Or are you conspiring something else?”

All of a sudden, the matter became quite complicated.

Jian Yiling’s bright and crystal clear eyes were fixated on Zhai Yunsheng.

Her face did not appear angry nor happy.

Han Mengyu and Xing Wei nervously looked at Zhai Yunsheng.

Over the last minute, Zhai Yunsheng’s expression had changed.

“Listen to my explanation,” Zhai Yunsheng said to Jian Yiling through the video call.

“Hmm?” Jian Yiling said as she continued to look at him.

“I’m coming back right now. Wait for me.”

Then, Zhai Yunsheng turned around to leave.

Zhai Yunsheng left Han Mengyu and Xing Wei behind. The two of them looked at each other. They were somewhat unsure of what to do.

What were they meant to do now?

Master Sheng did not say anything to them before he left.

This was rather awkward…

The faces of Han Mengyu and Xing Wei were filled with embarrassment.

After Zhai Yunsheng left, Mr. Kevin couldn’t help but comment: “Ahh, it must be nice to be young.”

Then, Xing Wei whispered to Han Mengyu: “Do you think Master Sheng will kneel on a washboard once he gets home?”

“Nonsense. That’s impossible. Master Sheng would never kneel on a washboard,” Han Mengyu replied with certainty. “In this day and age, who even has washboards at home? It’s possible that he will probably kneel on a keyboard though.”

When Zhai Yunsheng got home, the lights in their apartment were turned on.

Back in the hotel room, Zhai Yunsheng noticed that the background of Jian Yiling’s video was their study room.

And thus, Jian Yiling should be in their study.

When Zhai Yunsheng entered the study room, he saw a delicate figure leaning over a writing desk. She was busy at work.

The video call with Mr. Kevin had not yet been turned off.

Zhai Yunsheng walked over to end the video call.

“What happened just now…”

“You’re investigating me?” Jian Yiling asked.

There was no sign of unhappiness or anger on her fair face.

“Mhmm.”

“Why?” Jian Yiling’s voice was quizzical but not angry.

“The scar removal cream.”

“You remember that?”

“Of course. I remember every single thing you do.”

As he said this, Zhai Yunsheng rolled up his sleeves.

“No scars.”

This was because he listened to her words. He obediently applied the scar removal cream after his wounds had healed.

Jian Yiling’s fingers gently touched Zhai Yunsheng’s upper arm.

Her fingertips went over his smooth skin.

There were indeed no scars.

Zhai Yunsheng: “Back then, I wanted to enter a cooperation with you. However, you told me you couldn’t for the time being. Instead, you went to cooperate with XDL.”

A bit of bitterness could be heard in Zhai Yunsheng’s voice.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling replied: “You left. You left without even saying goodbye. I was not allowed to even see you.”

After all, someone vanished from her sight.

This comment resulted in Zhai Yunsheng’s utter defeat.

“My bad,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. Then, he added: “I just wanted to confirm that Elim was you.”

“Mhmm, it’s me,” Jian Yiling replied. She had no intentions to hide this from Zhai Yunsheng.

After all, she never deliberately tried to hide anything from Zhai Yunsheng.

“And… Do you have any questions you want to ask me? About the Harmony League?”

“When did you establish the Harmony League?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Three years ago. After I separated from you,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.

“Why?”

“Because… There’s someone I want to protect,” Zhai Yunsheng said as he gazed into Jian Yiling’s eyes.
