The Arrogant President’s Cute Assistant

“Ugh, Xiaonai-Ge even said he wants to stay here with that bitch Ye Ranxi for a week. Just thinking about her makes me feel disgusted.”

Wen Nuan was standing by the window, her mood completely ruined. She pulled on the silk curtains beside her, wrinkling them as she gripped tightly.

If she could, she would love to crumple Ye Ranxi up like that, just to see if Ye Ranxi would dare to show her face again.

“Calm down a bit. Just stay composed and apologize to your Xiaonai-Ge. He’ll forgive you soon enough. Don’t get too upset; they’ll be staying here for a while, so you’ll have plenty of chances to deal with her,” Li Xiaoai said patiently on the other end of the line. Truth be told, she was almost at her wit’s end. This Wen Nuan, relying on her connection to the Ling Family, thought everyone had to revolve around her. In Li Xiaoai’s mind, Wen Nuan was just a silly girl who didn’t understand anything. Without her planning behind the scenes, Wen Nuan wouldn’t be nearly as clever.

Wen Nuan thought Li Xiaoai made some good points; she’d just have to go with it for now.

“Okay, Xiaoai, I’ll listen to you. But what should I do with her when the time comes?”

“Don’t worry; I’ll teach you when the time comes.”

Wen Nuan felt so touched. “Xiaoai, you’re the best. Every time I encounter a problem, you always help me think of a solution.” Although Wen Nuan appeared to be a princess pampered by everyone, she had very few friends, and even fewer who could actually lend her a hand.

Especially someone like Li Xiaoai, who always strategized for her; there were hardly any. If Wen Nuan knew that Li Xiaoai was just using her, she’d be heartbroken.

“Wen Nuan, we’re good friends! You have a problem, so how could I not help you? Alright, enough of this; hurry up and take care of your business,” Li Xiaoai said, tired of chatting, eager to hang up.

From Wen Nuan’s vantage point, she could see Ling Xiaonai holding Ye Ranxi’s hand as they walked in. Seeing this scene ignited a fire in her heart, but after thinking about what Li Xiaoai had just said, she managed to calm herself down.

As Ye Ranxi entered the living room holding Ling Xiaonai’s hand, Ling Jiang was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and Zhang Huiwen was watching television. When they saw her come in, neither of them spoke much, making Ye Ranxi even more nervous.

“Uncle, Auntie, hello.”

Ling Jiang’s gaze fell on Ye Ranxi’s hand. He cleared his throat and asked, “Is your hand feeling better?”

Huh? Ye Ranxi was taken aback, not quite responding at first. She managed to nod and smile, “It’s much better now, thank you for your concern, Uncle.”

Who said that only Wen Nuan could act cute? Ye Ranxi could do it too. Ling Jiang nodded and then went back to reading the newspaper.

As for Zhang Huiwen, she still didn’t seem to like her. Since the moment she stepped into the house, Zhang Huiwen had hardly exchanged any words with her.

But Ye Ranxi didn’t mind much; in the Ling Family, Ling Jiang was the most important. As long as he recognized her, she would have the legitimacy of being the daughter-in-law of the Ling Family.

“Alright, you should take her to rest. Her hand hasn’t fully healed,” Ling Jiang said casually, but Ye Ranxi could still detect the concern in his tone.

Ling Xiaonai nodded. “I’ll take Xiaoxi-Jie upstairs to rest.”

As soon as they reached the upper floor, they found Wen Nuan standing by Ling Xiaonai’s door.

It looked like Wen Nuan was going to trouble her again. Even if she had managed to win over Ling Jiang and Zhang Huiwen, Wen Nuan wouldn’t let it go that easily.

To her surprise, this time Wen Nuan was surprisingly gentle. Upon seeing them, she even smiled sweetly, “Xiaonai-Ge, Xiaoxi-Jie, you’re back.”

Xiaoxi-Jie? Ye Ranxi scoffed quietly. She didn’t feel any need to put on a friendly face in front of Wen Nuan, especially since Wen Nuan had long held her in disdain. Wasn’t pretending to smile just more hypocritical?

Wen Nuan must be wishing to stab her with a knife right about now.

“Xiaoxi-Jie, I know you don’t like me. I’ve wronged you in many ways before; could you forgive me?” Wen Nuan said, seeing Ye Ranxi’s cold demeanor. She walked over to take Ye Ranxi’s hand, smiling sweetly at her.

Unexpectedly, Wen Nuan was quite good at playing the pity card. If Ye Ranxi didn’t forgive her, she would become the villain in Ling Xiaonai’s eyes.

Since Wen Nuan could be so hypocritical, what if Ye Ranxi was a little hypocritical too?

“I’m not mad at you at all! From now on, we are family. Xiaonai’s sister is my sister,” Ye Ranxi replied, leaning against Ling Xiaonai with a look of happiness.

Sure enough, Wen Nuan’s expression changed immediately. Seeing her face shift from pale to flushed brought undisguised joy to Ye Ranxi’s heart.

Wen Nuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ling Xiaonai. “Xiaoxi is not feeling well and needs to rest. You should go back.”

“Xiaonai-Ge…” Before, Ling Xiaonai had never been so indifferent to her; now, he regarded her like a stranger. Wen Nuan wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’t come out.

Before Wen Nuan could catch up, Ling Xiaonai had already taken Ye Ranxi into their room.

As soon as they entered, Ye Ranxi wrapped her arms around him and started to act cute. “Your precious sister is probably outside crying her eyes out. How can you be so heartless, leaving her out there at the door?”

However, Ye Ranxi felt quite happy about how Ling Xiaonai was treating her. At least he was on her side, willing to offend Wen Nuan for her sake.

“As long as you’re happy,” Ling Xiaonai replied, leaning down to kiss her neck, his lips tickling her skin. After a while, he released her, saying, “We’ll go downstairs to eat with Mom and Dad later, okay?”

“Sure, but it seems like your dad has been a lot nicer to me,” Ye Ranxi said, wrapping her arms tighter around him at that thought.

“Yeah, it’s obvious.” With only the two of them in the room, Ling Xiaonai carried her over to the bed, and the atmosphere grew more intimate.

Ye Ranxi felt a bit dazed from his kisses and abruptly pushed him away. “Oh, by the way, there’s something else I want to talk to you about.”

“Go ahead, little girl,” Ling Xiaonai said, gently poking her nose.

This was something Ye Ranxi had thought about for a long time before finally summoning the courage to bring it up.

“What if after we get married, we stay here and live with Uncle and Auntie? Would that be alright?” She buried her head in his chest, feeling cozy. “They’d definitely love having more noise in the house. We could live here for a while.”

Ling Xiaonai was taken aback by her sudden suggestion, and his movements came to a halt.

“What do you think?” Ye Ranxi tugged at his shirt collar. Living with the Ling Family would surely come with its challenges, but it would make it easier for her to take revenge on Wen Nuan.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Ling Xiaonai’s eyes. He worried that she might not feel comfortable living in that environment.

“Xiaoxi, you really don’t have to put yourself in a difficult position,” he said, gently caressing her face. He still felt unsettled about the slap she received from Wen Nuan last time. Plus, he knew very well what kind of person Wen Nuan was; she wouldn’t let Ye Ranxi off easily, and who knew what trouble she might cause in the future.

Ye Ranxi smiled and affectionately wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m not putting myself in a difficult position at all! As long as everyone is happy. Uncle and Auntie will definitely be thrilled knowing we are living here.”

“Alright, we’ll do it your way.” Ling Xiaonai’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “Since I agreed to your request just now, don’t you think you owe me a little reward?”

Without needing to think, Ye Ranxi already knew what kind of “reward” he was talking about. What on earth was this man always thinking about?

“Since you’re being so good, I’ll give you a little reward!” Ye Ranxi planted a soft kiss on his face. Ling Xiaonai smiled at her, “What? You think a kiss is enough to satisfy me?”

Did he expect…? It was still daytime, and they were at home. She would have to go downstairs for dinner later, and what if someone saw them?

“Can we not? I’ll make it up to you next time.” Ye Ranxi kissed his face several more times, but Ling Xiaonai still seemed unwilling to let her off the hook. Before she knew it, he had pulled up her dress. With a swift motion, he tore the fabric apart, leaving it in shreds in his hands.

In the end, of course, she couldn’t escape Ling Xiaonai’s fate of being completely devoured by him… She was utterly exhausted by the time she cried out for him to stop, and only then did Ling Xiaonai relent, holding her as they drifted off into a deep sleep.

That evening, Qian Yexue returned home from work. Recently, Ye Ranxi needed to replenish her nutrition, so Qian Yexue always bought a lot of food on her way back.

“Xiaoxi, I’m home! Today I bought a lot of your favorite foods, so come look!” Qian Yexue walked in, happily carrying several bags of groceries after taking off her shoes.

However, she didn’t see a single person.

Just as Qian Yexue was pondering this, a male figure approached her. Squinting, she realized it was Pei Yuanyi.

And what was worse, why was Pei Yuanyi shirtless in their home?

“Ah… you freak!” Qian Yexue nearly hurled all the groceries at his face.

Pei Yuanyi had just been woken from his nap, groggy and confused. Not only was he disturbed by this woman’s loud entrance, but he also had to endure her shouting. If he hadn’t been forced to stay here, he wouldn’t have lingered for even a second!

“What are you doing here? Where’s Xiaoxi?” Qian Yexue asked, glancing around the apartment but not finding Ye Ranxi anywhere.

Pei Yuanyi yawned lazily before replying, “Xiaoxi went home with Xiaonai to celebrate the New Year, so he asked me to come over and watch the house.”

Now Pei Yuanyi understood that he was not here to play a caretaker role; he was here to keep Qian Yexue company. And honestly, he was the most unfortunate one in this situation!
