Does she have any job outside of work?
Xin Ying didn't elaborate, and Lin Leyao didn't ask further.
Xin Ying soon started coughing. It was unclear whether she had caught a chill from the wind outside the restaurant. Ever since entering the restaurant, Xin Ying had been coughing from time to time.
Lin Leyao's attention was quickly drawn to Xin Ying's cough.
Xin Ying was supposed to go out with Lin Leyao in the afternoon, but because Xin Ying's cough hadn't gotten better and she was worried that it would get worse and she would get sick, the two eventually went to the hospital at Lin Leyao's insistence.
In the evening, the two took a box of cough medicine prescribed by the doctor and returned home.
Xin Ying said that she wasn't in a hurry to finish work in the afternoon, but as soon as she got back, she locked herself in her study.
Xin Ying stayed in the study for several hours that evening. She only came out of the study after Lin Leyao had finished taking a shower.
Seeing Xin Ying return to the bedroom, Lin Leyao asked, "Are you done with your work?"
Xin Ying hummed in agreement, took off her coat and casually placed it on the chair next to her, then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Xin Ying is wearing the same coat she wore yesterday. Early this morning, Lin Leyao had intended to put her coat in the laundry basket and have the hotel staff send it to the dry cleaners.
But just then, Xin Ying came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, interrupting her actions.
Xin Ying didn't change her coat today, so Lin Leyao got out of bed and hung it on the hanger.
Lin Leyao realized that the hard object she had touched in her pocket that morning was gone.
When Xin Ying came out of the bathroom, Lin Leyao was looking down at her phone. When she saw Xin Ying, she immediately said, "By the way, Fashion Star magazine contacted me. Their medical aid charity project is starting next Saturday. I need to go to Yunnan then."
Xin Ying frowned and asked, "How many days will it take?"
About a week.
Xin Ying looked unwell. She sat at the foot of the bed and asked, "Why so suddenly?"
Noticing that Xin Ying was in a bad mood, Lin Leyao smiled and pinched her cheek to comfort her, "I was originally going to go at the end of the year, since there is also a charity project there at the end of the year, but I have some time recently, so I simply changed it to the first half of the year."
Xin Ying still had a stern face. Lin Leyao was surprised to see Xin Ying react so strongly for the first time.
She gently rubbed her forehead against Xin Ying's face and asked softly, "What's wrong? You already miss me before you even go?"
Xin Ying was indeed at a loss because this unexpected accident had disrupted all her plans, but she quickly recovered and kissed Lin Leyao's face, saying, "It's rare that I can see you every day after get off work these days. Now that you're out, I won't be able to see you anymore. You have to make it up to me."
Lin Leyao blinked and asked softly, "What compensation?"
Seeing the sly smile on her face, Xin Ying bit Lin Leyao's cheek, leaned down and whispered in Lin Leyao's ear, "You know."
In the middle of the night, Lin Leyao had already fallen into a deep sleep in Xin Ying's arms.
The room was dark and silent.
After a while, a rustling sound came from inside the room, and soon a light appeared in one corner of the room.
Xin Ying glanced down at Lin Leyao in her arms. The little girl was sleeping soundly, nestled quietly in her arms, looking very well-behaved.
Xin Ying opened her phone, quickly typed a message with one hand, and sent it. The person on the other end, who had been busy revising the plan all night, replied quickly.
Originally, Xin Ying had everything planned out perfectly. After returning from her business trip abroad, she planned to spend time with Lin Leyao and then complete the things she had always wanted to do.
Unfortunately, the plan ultimately failed, and things went wrong as she had arranged them.
The staff on the other end were trying to salvage the situation, and the original plan had been postponed. Because of this, Xin Ying hadn't been in a good mood all day.
That evening in the study, she discussed with the other party about revising the plan and resuming the operation a few days later. However, she did not expect that Lin Leyao would be going to Yunnan.
A small surprise that was originally scheduled to be postponed due to force majeure has been forced to be delayed again.
Good things come to those who wait, Xin Ying comforted herself with this thought.
Xin Ying sent the message that the plan was suspended, and then lowered her head to kiss Lin Leyao in her arms.
When they woke up in the morning, Xin Ying and Lin Leyao went to their respective jobs.
Xin Ying is going to work at the company, while Lin Leyao is going to continue her voice acting.
Lin Leyao sent a message to Iris, inviting her out for dinner that evening.

Chapter 93
After Lin Leyao finished her voice acting, she and Xin Ying went to the restaurant they had arranged to meet Iris in advance.
When they arrived at the scene, they found Xin Wenwen there as well.
Lin Leyao and Xin Ying were both tacitly aware of Xin Wenwen's appearance and were not surprised.
The four people sat around the same table, and looking at the scene, Lin Leyao sighed.
She and Xin Ying had only been married for about half a year, and she never imagined that she would be sitting down to eat with Xin Wenwen so calmly.
Only a few months have passed, but she feels that her whole state of mind has changed a lot compared to before.
In the past, when something happened, she would only want to bear it alone, but now when something happens, she will think of Xin Ying first, because she knows that Xin Ying will always stand by her side.
With Xin Ying by her side, she felt much more at ease. In the past, she would have always hidden her thoughts, keeping herself tightly wrapped up, making it difficult for others to guess what she was thinking. But now, she was gradually opening her heart and was willing to accept others.
Perhaps this change is the biggest change she has undergone since getting married.
With Iris present, the atmosphere of everyone dining together was quite harmonious.
Xin Ying went to the restroom halfway through the meal, and Lin Leyao slowed down her eating pace, her gaze involuntarily drifting to the two people across from her who were making little moves to each other.
It's unclear how far Iris and Xin Wenwen's relationship has progressed. Judging from Iris's behavior, she doesn't seem to have encountered many setbacks, but judging from Xin Wenwen's appearance, the two don't seem to have taken it any further.
Lin Leyao couldn't help but think of Tang Ran.
If Xin Wenwen were still with Tang Ran, this meal certainly wouldn't have happened, and they wouldn't be sitting here eating peacefully.
Lin Leyao was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.
The restaurant has two floors. Lin Leyao and her friends were eating on the second floor, while the first floor was also a dining area. It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few people in the restaurant. Everyone was eating quietly when suddenly someone started making a fuss.
From where Lin Leyao was sitting, she could see exactly what was happening on the first floor. She could see an elegantly dressed woman standing in front of a dining table, trying to grab a girl sitting in the seat. However, her actions were stopped by an equally elegantly dressed man wearing a shirt and tie.
When the woman saw that her actions were being stopped, she became furious and shouted, "Luo Jiarui! You actually cheated on me with another woman! Don't you even respect me?!"
The woman's cursing instantly echoed throughout the restaurant, drawing everyone's attention to the arguing group.
The girl, who had been standing silently with her head down behind the man, immediately raised her head and retorted loudly upon hearing the woman's words: "I'm not a mistress! Don't slander me!"
"You seduced my fiancé, what else could you be but a mistress?!"
"I didn't know she had a girlfriend, and besides, I haven't agreed to be with her yet!"
Upon hearing this, the woman who had been rebutted immediately widened her eyes, grabbed the girl's sleeve, and cursed, "You still dare to argue? Today I'm going to tear your mouth apart, you mistress!"
The moment the scene of catching the mistress unfolded, everyone who was eating was captivated. Everyone sat in their seats watching them, no one ran over to watch the show, but no one stopped them either. Lin Leyao, who had been lost in thought, suddenly stood up after seeing something.
"I have to go downstairs for something." With that, Lin Leyao quickly left.
Seeing her sudden movement, neither Xin Wenwen nor Iris reacted. After a dozen seconds, Xin Wenwen asked loudly, "Where are you going? Auntie hasn't come back yet!"
As soon as Xin Wenwen uttered those words, Lin Leyao's figure had already disappeared at the top of the stairs.
Seeing Lin Leyao run downstairs without looking back, Xin Wenwen worried that something had happened and said to Iris, "Go and keep her company. I'll wait here for my aunt to come back."
Iris immediately went after Lin Leyao.
When Lin Leyao arrived on the first floor, the arguing became even clearer, and many people around her were recording with their phones.
The woman who came to catch her fiancé in the act of cheating saw that her fiancé was blocking her way, and she immediately widened her eyes in anger and grabbed the arm of the girl behind the man.
"You come out here!"
Everyone was watching the show, but at that moment, the onlookers noticed a woman with long, flowing hair, wearing a light purple cashmere sweater and high-waisted light-colored jeans, walking straight towards the three people arguing.
The woman whose arm was being grabbed was equally angry: "I already told you I didn't know he had a girlfriend. He was the one who asked me out to dinner. You should blame your boyfriend for being a jerk and taking it out on me!"
“I’ll settle accounts with him when I get home, and I won’t let you, the mistress, get away with it either. You talk a good game, but a girl like you obviously doesn’t have much money. Would you eat at a fancy restaurant like this without a rich guy? Didn’t your parents teach you how to be a decent person? Today, I’m here to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!”
As she spoke, the woman raised her hand, intending to slap the girl.
The next second, her raised hand was grabbed, and a clear, sharp voice rang in her ear: "Miss, resorting to violence will have legal consequences."
The woman was interrupted as she was hitting someone, and she immediately turned around and saw the woman standing behind her.
The woman was wearing a mask, so her identity couldn't be seen. She frowned and demanded, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Lin Leyao released her grip on the woman's wrist and said slowly, "I was eating on the second floor and came down because your voice disturbed me. Miss, let me give you a piece of advice: don't hit people without understanding the situation, or you might face consequences you can't bear."
"I can't even discipline the mistress?! What if I can't bear the consequences?!"
Lin Leyao tilted her head and squinted at the woman in front of her for a while.
As she sized up the woman, the woman's gaze was also scanning her up and down.
People who come to this upscale restaurant are all wealthy. Lin Leyao was dressed simply, but she had a very good temperament. Although her clothes and pants did not have obvious logos and it was difficult to identify the brand in a short time, the necklace around her neck and the shoes on her feet were designer brands.
In addition, she was the only person in the restaurant who dared to come up and interrupt her for so long.
After thinking it over, the woman realized that this woman might be someone special, and her attitude softened considerably.
The woman softened her tone and said, "I was a little angry just now and didn't control my voice. I didn't mean to disturb your meal. I'll be quieter from now on."
Lin Leyao smiled politely and said, "Thank you."
During the time Lin Leyao was talking to this woman, two people at the scene recognized her and were quite surprised to see her there.
Seeing that Lin Leyao hadn't left after finishing speaking, the woman asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
When Xiao Mi saw Lin Leyao suddenly appear there, her face turned pale instantly.
Xiao Mi, who was finally on vacation at home, was invited out to dinner by someone, but she never expected to be caught in such an embarrassing situation by her boss. She was originally able to stand up to this woman who caught her husband cheating, but she immediately lost her temper after seeing Lin Leyao.
She didn't want to stay there any longer. Seeing that the other person was still speaking, Xiaomi turned around and tried to leave.
