Lin Ping didn't know why being with Xia Bin would land him in hot water, and Lin Ya wasn't about to explain. She just urged him to leave quickly.
'My sister didn't even give him a proper look,' Lin Ping thought as he came out of Lin Ya's office, feeling a bit sorry for Xia Bin. 'She didn't even walk him out, just had me escort him away?'
'Looks like I really can't call him 'brother-in-law' anymore,' he mused. 'Brother Bin doesn't stand a chance.'
Of course he had no chance. The moment he left, Lin Ya sent a message to Chen Xiao: "Boss, sorry I wasn't a better host! I've noted everything you assigned and will get started on it right away!"
Chen Xiao saw the message and didn't reply.
'The hospitality was more than thoughtful,' Chen Xiao mused. 'If someone hadn't shown up, we might have already "gotten started" on something!'
Sitting alone in his car, he stared intently at his Endurance Value: 111. He felt a more fitting name for it would be "I Love Little Matchsticks!"
