149 Wife's Instructions

Xie Limo's light, cherry-colored lips curled into a gentle smile. He said simply, "Dear."

Yun Bixue stared at Shen Zhengyao through the glass window. Her gaze grew cold as she said softly, "Limo, are you busy now?" She knew that she had acted too hastily immediately after she dialed his number. She was worried that Xie Limo was busy.

Xie Limo smiled elegantly and gave a gentle reply, "There's not much to be busy about. What's wrong?" His voice was filled with concern.

Hearing Xie Limo's soft reply, Yun Bixue's cold gaze became warm and gentle. She tenderly replied, "Nothing much. I'm having tea near the Shen family's place right now. Shen Zhengyao has been standing outside the gates for quite some time. I suspect that he's about to go looking for your help."

Xie Limo's beautiful eyes glittered with an enchanting light. He smiled and asked, "Are you worried that I'll lend him a helping hand?"

"That's not it. You definitely won't help him if he asks. I'm worried that he'll do something out of desperation. After all, Shen Zhengyao grew up under the care of Old Master Shen. The people of the Shen family are all born with an innate ruthlessness. You should take care."

Yun Bixue's words were filled with worry for Xie Limo.

Xie Limo's heart warmed, and he said smoothly, "I understand. Rest assured, as long as I'm still around, the Shen family can't do anything. I'll have my men watch over them."

"Okay, I can stop worrying then. Continue with your work; I'll be home soon."

"Alright, ask Xie Shiyi to keep you safe. Don't walk around alone."

Yun Bixue smiled and answered coquettishly, "As you wish."

Hearing her warm reply, his heart tightened. He remembered the times when she lay in his arms at home, where she appeared so fragile and beautiful. He couldn't help but smile. It didn't matter that he always kept a calm image in the face of outsiders—he couldn't do it in front of his wife. His emotions were always swayed by her, but he was willing to be swayed. For his wife, everything was worth it.

No matter how busy and tired he was, as soon as he returned home and saw her sweet smile, all his fatigue would disappear.

After hanging up, Xie Limo elegantly returned to the meeting room, where everyone waited in absolute silence. No one dared to grumble or question his authority.

When Xie Limo first started taking charge of Ning An City, many refused to comply with his orders. They had tried to make things difficult for Xie Limo, hoping that he would step down in the face of all those problems. In the end, no matter what kind of background they had, they were all either demoted or had something happen to their family. Some were also found to be corrupt and were subsequently put in jail.

By the time they realized what was happening, almost all of the officials within Ning An City had been replaced. Once they understood the gravity of the situation, it was too late for them to regret their actions.

After witnessing Young Master Xie's capabilities, everyone was secretly afraid of him. As a result, no one dared to oppose his decisions.

There were still some that tried to seek an opportunity amidst the crisis. They tried to report Young Master Xie's actions to the people in power at Tian Jing City in order to control him. However, it was ineffective. Not only did their complaints achieve nothing, but they were also reported to be conspiring against officials. The authorities found evidence of their misdeeds, and they had their homes sealed.

Everyone was obedient ever since, and no one dared to harbor any plans. Even so, the new officials that Young Master Xie employed were those he trusted deeply and not those people who once plotted against him.
