President, please comfort me.

Chapter 169 Yes, I'm jealous.

Chen Nuo was so frightened by Ye Lin's shout that he trembled all over. His heart pounded as if it had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. He had never seen Ye Lin so fierce before.

Adding to her fear was Ye Lin's flushed face and booming neck, his voice as domineering and arrogant as a bandit's. Her mind went blank, and she blurted out instinctively, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

The haunting voice reached Ye Lin's ears, and he thought he had drunk too much and was dreaming before he even fell asleep. He was stunned.

Although he wanted to immediately change his attitude completely, his mouth seemed to have broken free of his brain's control, completely disobeying him, and still blurted out unpleasant words: "What are you apologizing for? What do you have to apologize for?"

"I..." Before Chen Nuo could finish speaking, the door to the next room suddenly opened.

Rong Yun'er, wrapped in a loose white bathrobe, slowly walked out of the room. Her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, and her face still had a flush from her recent bath.

When her gaze fell on Chen Nuo and Ye Lin, it naturally lingered on the former, her eyes revealing a surprised expression—she was taken aback by Chen Nuo's beautiful face and graceful figure.

Suddenly, Rong Yun'er felt playful and slowly walked towards Ye Lin. While he was lost in thought, she quickly leaned her head on his broad and sturdy shoulder.

At the same time, her slender, soft hands, like serpents, tightly wrapped around his strong, powerful arm.

"Ah Lin, I'm all done washing up. Who is this young lady?" Rong Yun'er said in a sweet and coquettish voice, pressing her entire body weight against Ye Lin's, clinging to him like an intimate couple.

As she spoke, Rong Yun'er seemingly casually turned her head slightly and glanced at Chen Nuo out of the corner of her eye. However, this casual glance was full of endless provocation and aggression.

Ye Lin naturally didn't want to be held so intimately by her, but at this moment, he was still immersed in the astonishment of Chen Nuo's arrival.

In addition, the effects of alcohol continued to erode his brain, and a rebellious thought involuntarily welled up in his mind—he wanted to see how Chen Nuo would react to this, so he forcibly suppressed the urge to push Rong Yun'er away.

Chen Nuo hadn't recovered from the fact that Ye Lin was alone in the room, and before he could even feel happy, he saw Rong Yun'er clinging to him in such an intimate and ambiguous manner, making their relationship self-evident.

In an instant, she felt utterly hopeless, a feeling of utter despair washing over her, making it hard for her to breathe.

His throat felt like it was blocked by a wad of cotton, and his voice became extremely hoarse: "Sorry to bother you." After saying that, Chen Nuo staggered and turned away, leaving behind a lonely and desolate figure.

Chen Nuo's gaze finally settled on the hands on Ye Lin's arm. The moment she turned away, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, glistening and scattered on the ground.

Afraid that they would discover her disheveled appearance, and not even waiting for the elevator to come up, she blurred her vision, swayed, and plunged into the stairwell next door.

Watching Chen Nuo's hasty departure, Ye Lin was struck dumb, sobering up instantly. Realizing he had done something incredibly foolish, he glared fiercely at Rong Yun'er, coldly shoved her away, and then ran frantically towards the stairwell.

At this moment, Chen Nuo was already in tears and dizzy, sobbing as she silently walked down the stairs.

Ye Lin chased after him closely, and because he was so anxious, he caught up with him in no time.

"Where are you going in the middle of the night?" He grabbed Chen Nuo's arm from behind.

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness and worry, his tone of voice unconsciously became hurried, and his voice rose considerably.

However, Chen Nuo remained silent, simply keeping his head down and struggling to break free from Ye Lin's grasp, continuing to walk forward without even turning his head back.

"I'm asking you a question." Ye Lin frowned, completely unaware of her strange behavior. He stretched out his right hand and, with half his strength, pulled her back.

In the brightly lit stairwell, Chen Nuo was pulled up abruptly by him. Her once delicate and beautiful face was covered with tears, which appeared particularly dazzling under the overhead light.

It wasn't until this moment that Ye Lin finally noticed she was crying. In an instant, his heart ached as if it had been stabbed, and the hand holding hers began to tremble slightly.

His previously high-spirited tone suddenly turned somber, and his face was filled with panic: "Why are you crying? I wasn't yelling at you."

However, upon hearing his words, Chen Nuo's tears not only did not stop, but flowed even more uncontrollably, and she couldn't stop them no matter what she did.

She silently shed tears without making a sound.

Seeing this scene, Ye Lin felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He couldn't imagine how heartbroken and wronged Chen Nuo must be, and all of this was caused by him.

Unable to bear Chen Nuo's silence and aloofness, Ye Lin took a deep breath, mustered his courage, leaned forward slightly, and carefully raised a hand to gently wipe away the tears that kept rolling down her cheeks with his fingertips.

At the same time, he tightened his grip slightly with his other hand, trying to pull her into his arms: "You really hit the nail on the head."

"I don't want you to hug me!" Chen Nuo's voice was full of resistance as she forcefully pushed the man away, as if using all her strength. Then, she turned around and hurriedly continued walking forward.

Seeing this, Ye Lin felt anxious and quickly chased after her. He stretched out his arms and tried to embrace the petite figure again.

As a result, Chen Nuo cleverly dodged to the side, easily avoiding the attack. At this moment, she was like a hedgehog with its quills raised, not allowing anyone to get any closer.

She lowered her head, not daring to look Ye Lin in the eye, and said angrily, as if in a fit of pique, "Go back and be with your girlfriend!" Her tone was full of bitterness.

Ye Lin's mind instantly became crystal clear, and he immediately understood who Chen Nuo's "girlfriend" was. He hurriedly explained, "What kind of girlfriend is she? Don't you know? From beginning to end, the only one I like and love is you."

After a slight pause, as if snapping out of his daze, his face lit up with undisguised excitement and joy, and he asked expectantly, "Jealous?"

Seeing that Chen Nuo did not respond, Ye Lin became increasingly anxious, eager for a definite answer. He leaned down, got closer, and whispered again, "Jealous?"

Hearing Ye Lin's explanation, Chen Nuo finally raised her head and met his affectionate gaze.

She bit her lip lightly and frankly admitted, "Yes, I'm jealous." The words had barely left her lips when she felt a dark shadow suddenly fall upon her from above...
