My Wife, The Ice Queen President-Chapter 387 - 0386 Murong Ruyin’s Arrival (Part 4)_1

Chapter 387: Chapter 0386 Murong Ruyin’s Arrival (Part 4)_1

Ever since Duanmu Kuang was killed by a mysterious person, Ye Xiong had an instinctive wariness towards Murong Ruyin.

This woman was too cunning, too difficult to control.

Particularly after Ye Xiong learned from Murong Feng that Murong Ruyin had been setting traps to harm people since she was six or seven years old, it made him gasp in shock.

He was very reluctant to have Murong Ruyin join the Hunter Organization, even though she was exceptionally beautiful, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.

What’s the use of being beautiful if a woman is so inscrutable? Such women are the ones men find most repulsive.

“Where are you?” Ye Xiong asked.

...

“At the city station.”

“Wait fifteen minutes, I’ll come to pick you up.”

Ye Xiong hung up the phone and drove towards the city bus station.

Although Murong Ruyin was difficult to control, it was undeniable that she was a very capable person. If they could get her medical help, the future of Hunter Bodyguard Company would be brighter.

After all, she was the most recent Divine Doctor from Lingnan. Both her reputation and her medical skills would be of great benefit to the company.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Xiong arrived at the city station and saw a woman in white standing by the roadside from a distance.

Dressed in white, with a veil on her head, she seemed ethereal from afar, like a fairy not belonging to this world.

Such attire was too out-of-place in the modern metropolis, completely at odds with her surroundings.

With cars coming and going on the road, those driving or walking all turned their heads to look, wondering who she was, some even looked around thinking there might be a camera and that perhaps someone was filming a movie or something.

Facing the strange gazes of these people, Murong Ruyin did not show the slightest embarrassment, as if she were accustomed to it.

Ye Xiong parked the car next to her, and Murong Ruyin got in.

“Have you eaten?”

“Just got off the bus, haven’t eaten yet,” replied Murong Ruyin indifferently.

Ye Xiong was already used to her coldness.

“What would you like to eat?”

“We’ll see when we get there.”

Ye Xiong drove to a famous hotel and booked a private dining room.

After entering the dining room, Murong Ruyin took off her head cover to reveal her face.

Although he had seen her true face before, Ye Xiong couldn’t help but be taken aback once again.

That face seemed specially crafted by the heavens; every feature was so delicate, so beautiful. All gathered on one face, it was divine workmanship, flawless.

Imperfection creates beauty, but a woman like Murong Ruyin was too perfect, making her unapproachable, and it always felt like there was a vast gulf between them.

“Order first, then after we eat, I’ll take you back to the company to complete some procedures,” Ye Xiong said, passing her the menu.

Murong Ruyin took it, ordered a portion of braised tofu, a dish of greens, and a fish soup—all light foods—then handed it back to Ye Xiong.

“I’ve already eaten.”

Murong Ruyin put her veil back on and pressed the service button.

Once the waiter came and the order was placed, all the dishes were served, and only then did she remove her veil and begin to eat.

Seeing her like this, Ye Xiong felt extremely annoyed.

Every day like this, how inconvenient it must be; doesn’t she find it tiring?

Ye Xiong couldn’t be bothered with her. After all, what he needed was her medical skill, he had no interest in her personal life.

If he hadn’t promised Murong Feng, he wouldn’t care to deal with her at all. Duanmu Linglong, who put righteousness before family, was much better than her.

Just then, his phone began to ring.

Ye Xiong looked and saw that it was Duanmu Linglong calling.

“Miss Linglong, have you eaten?” Ye Xiong asked with a smile.

“I’m eating now, what about you?”

“I’ve finished eating.”

Hearing Duanmu Linglong’s voice, a tender smile appeared on Ye Xiong’s face.

He couldn’t help but recall the times when he was on a mission, how he met Duanmu Linglong, how he had lied to her, claiming he liked her to infiltrate the hospital, and the scenes of them saving people together. Those memories were quite nostalgic.

Compared to Murong Ruyin, Duanmu Linglong might not be as beautiful, but she was much more approachable.

“I’m planning to go to Jiangnan to find you in a couple of days,” Duanmu Linglong said.

“You’re coming to Jiangnan?”

“Why, aren’t you welcoming me?”

“How could that be? Of course, I am,” Ye Xiong said.

After a casual exchange, Ye Xiong finally hung up the phone.

“Is it Duanmu Kuang’s daughter, Duanmu Linglong?” Murong Ruyin asked indifferently.

“Yes.”

Hearing her voice sounding somewhat cold, Ye Xiong quickly added, “The matter concerning Duanmu Kuang has nothing to do with her. It was she who told me Duanmu Kuang’s hiding place; she’s a good person.”

“Are you afraid I might harm her?”

“I’m just reminding you to distinguish between good and bad people, and not to tar everyone with the same brush.”

“Whether someone is good or bad is not spoken, but proven through actions.”

Then, the two of them did not speak for almost half an hour.

Ye Xiong took out his phone and started playing games. After a few rounds, Murong Ruyin finished eating and put her headscarf back on.

“Waiter, the check, please.”

“I’ll get it,” Murong Ruyin said as she took out her money and paid the bill.

Ye Xiong didn’t argue with her. If she wanted to pay, let her pay; he didn’t care.

As they were getting in the car, Murong Ruyin suddenly said, “My father has already told me what you said to him.”

Murong Feng, that old guy, why did he tell his daughter everything?

However, he didn’t feel anything was wrong; after all, everyone has the right to harbor doubts.

“Before coming to Jiangnan, I went to M City, but unfortunately, Duanmu Kuang’s body had already been cremated, so no clues could be found. However, I can tell you that Duanmu Kuang wasn’t killed by someone I sent,” Murong Ruyin said.

“I never said it was you who killed him,” Ye Xiong replied.

“But you suspect me.”

“Until the truth is out, I reserve the right to doubt anyone.”

“In that case, you should also suspect Duanmu Linglong.”

“Duanmu Kuang was Linglong’s father; that’s impossible.”

“Didn’t you say you reserve the right to doubt anyone? Duanmu Linglong can also use throwing needles and is an expert in using poison.”

“It’s not possible it was her.”

Ye Xiong remembered clearly the grief on Duanmu Linglong’s face when Duanmu Kuang died; how could she possibly be the murderer?

Once this was said, the conversation between them ceased.

The atmosphere during the entire trip was quite somber.

Ye Xiong had never experienced such a lull with a woman, to the point where he even lacked the desire to speak.

He regretted a bit; he really shouldn’t have let Murong Ruyin join the organization.

In his heart, Duanmu Linglong, who understood the bigger picture and could prioritize justice over family, was more suitable for the organization than Murong Ruyin.

Unfortunately, he had promised Murong Ruyin to let her join the Hunter Bodyguard Company and also promised Murong Feng to take care of Murong Ruyin and not let her fall into the Demonic Path.

They soon arrived back at the company, and Ye Xiong accompanied Murong Ruyin inside.

Seeing the boss come in with a woman wearing a headscarf, the employees were very curious, whispering among themselves.

Suddenly, a figure burst out, walked up to Murong Ruyin, and exclaimed excitedly.

“Oh my God, is that Miss Murong Ruyin? Am I seeing things? Boss, you didn’t manage to charm her as well, did you?”

In the company, no one except Chen Xiao dared to speak to him this way.

Ye Xiong’s face turned dark in an instant.
