But, ten minutes had slipped by, and Xia Mingyue still hadn't come downstairs.

Ye Xiao became very puzzled, but a puzzle is a puzzle, and he still had to wait. After all, he was Xia Mingyue's driver right now.

Yet another five minutes passed, and Xia Mingyue had still not come down from upstairs.

Just as Ye Xiao was tirelessly waiting, his mobile phone rang.

Taking out his phone to look, whose number could it be if not Xia Mingyue's?

Ye Xiao silently thought, could it be that the lady doesn't want to work today? Is she telling me to go back and rest?

When the call connected, there was no immediate sound from the other end.

"Hello? Mr. Xia, why aren't you talking?" Ye Xiao, finding no sound on the line, muttered to himself, "What a crappy phone, I hope it's not a counterfeit."

"You're the counterfeit!" Finally, there was a voice on the phone, but it was not at all friendly.

Hearing Xia Mingyue's voice, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Mr. Xia, why haven't you come downstairs yet? I've been waiting for you for quite a while now."

"What? You're getting impatient?" Xia Mingyue retorted coldly.

Ye Xiao, after all, worked for her and quickly said with a smile, "How could I? The air outside is very fresh."

After Ye Xiao spoke, Xia Mingyue went silent again.

Ye Xiao was once more plunged into confusion; what was up with Xia Mingyue?

"Mr. Xia, are you okay?" Ye Xiao asked.

It was then that Xia Mingyue's soft voice said to Ye Xiao, "I... I twisted my ankle."

"What?" Upon hearing Xia Mingyue's words, Ye Xiao immediately showed deep concern and said, "Mr. Xia, is it bad? Are you upstairs? Do you want me to have a look?"

"You're going to have a look? You know how to treat a foot injury?" Xia Mingyue asked, somewhat surprised.

Ye Xiao quickly said with a laugh, "Heh heh, I was quite naughty as a kid, always spraining my ankle, so I learned to treat it myself. I'm pretty adept at it now."

"How many times did you have to twist your ankle!" Xia Mingyue was surprised by his response, "Forget it, a drowning man will clutch at a straw. I was thinking about getting the community doctor to come over, but the doctor just had to be out on an errand. Come on up, then."

"Alright... oh no!" Ye Xiao said.

"What do you mean?" Xia Mingyue asked.

Ye Xiao explained, "Mr. Xia, maybe we should wait, I haven't changed my clothes yet, and I'm afraid I'll dirty your house."

"Stop dilly-dallying. Come up now, I order you," Xia Mingyue huffed. There was an important meeting that morning, and she absolutely could not be absent. It was crucial for the company's revenue at the end of the year; she had made a firm promise to her parents.

"Alright, I'm coming right now," Ye Xiao chuckled.

Xia Mingyue hung up Ye Xiao's call, suddenly feeling that something was not quite right, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Soon after, there was a knock at the door.

Xia Mingyue, leaning against the wall with difficulty, made her way to the door and opened it.

But just as the door swung open, the pain from her injured foot caused her to lose her balance, and she started falling toward the door.

Xia Mingyue was terrified, her face drained of color. Clearly, if she really fell, she could end up with a bloody gash on her head. But at this critical moment, Ye Xiao caught Xia Mingyue, preventing her from hitting the ground.

However, even though Xia Mingyue didn't fall, Ye Xiao didn't win her favor. On the contrary, she found him even more repulsive.

At that moment, Ye Xiao's hand was supporting Xia Mingyue, but as he steadied her, he found something soft in his grasp and subconsciously squeezed it.

That squeeze turned out to be a mistake; Xia Mingyue suddenly screamed.

Xia Mingyue looked up, anger climbing onto her face, and it seemed she wouldn't rest until she had Ye Xiao cut to pieces.
