Gao Congming gently closed the door after Ling Yiran walked in.He had brought Ling Yiran along not because of her own words, but because his own boss still cared about her.Maybe Young Master Yi just wanted Ling Yiran to give in. However, Ling Yiran looked as if something was bothering her, which could be a perfect stepping stone for Young Master Yi.Thinking of this, Gao Congming couldn't help but feel happy.At that moment, in the secretary's office, a secretary came over and asked Gao Congming curiously, "Secretary Gao, who is the woman that went into the president's office just now?"After all, judging from the woman's outfit, she didn't seem to be a person who could normally enter the president's office.However, Gao Congming said simply, "Don't ask. You will know when the time comes."And before that time came, he was afraid that someone might gossip about it and violate the taboo of Young Master Yi.In the office, Ling Yiran was a little uneasy as she stood there. She l
"I'm only hoping that you can get the police to release them. This matter is but a piece of cake for you," she anxiously said."It is a piece of cake, but... so what?" He looked at her stoically, a stark contrast to her anxious demeanor.Her arms that were hanging by the sides of her body stiffened a little. She took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. "What do you want in exchange before you'll release them?"His gaze darkened as he put down the pen that was in his hand. He stood up and slowly approaching Ling Yiran.He gently cupped her hands. "Sis, your hands are so cold."Her body immediately stiffened. Her hands were indeed much colder when compared to his.He looked down, took both her hands, and placed them on his palms. He slowly rubbing them, trying to give her warmth with the friction.He was doing it as if he was used to doing it all the time. His eyes carried gentleness with a hint of caution as if she was his precious babe.'My God! What am I thinking!' Ling Yi
A proud man like him would never allow such a thing to happen."So, you're only willing to see me just to prove to me that you’ll never agree no matter how much I beg, right?" She said those words with much difficulty.His lips curved into a thin smile. He lifted one hand and lightly swept away some stray strands of hair along her forehead, tucking them behind her ear using his long fingers. "Back then, you said that you didn’t want to stay by my side and that you didn’t need me to help you change your destiny. You said you would not regret it..."His actions exuded elegance while his voice was so gentle.He bent his waist and positioned his lips by her earlobes, breathing effortlessly.She could feel his breath blowing at her earlobes and neck region.That made her stiffen her whole body as if a huge boulder was on her chest, leaving her out of breath."I'm only seeing you because I want to let you understand what a joke it was when you said you would not regret it." He was sta
She had not gotten much sleep the night before. In addition to her grandmother’s issue, her problems were only getting worse. Right now, Ling Yiran felt as if she was floating on air.After walking a while, Ling Yiran brushed shoulders with a passerby and stumbled onto the ground.Fortunately, her clothes were thick enough, so she did not experience much pain.Just as she was about to stand up, she felt some hurried steps running toward her. That person quickly helped her up.Ling Yiran took a look and was shocked to see Guo Xinli."Why are you...""My car is just by the roadside. Let me send you home." Ling Yiran may have rejected his offer, but he was still worried about her. Therefore, he had slowly driven his car while trailing behind her."Nevermind, I can get home on my own.""You fell so easily after merely brushing past a passerby. How am I to be at ease seeing you go home alone? My car is just by the roadside. If we continue to dawdle here, I'll get a traffic summon if
Ling Yiran paused in her footsteps and slowly turned around. She saw that the car was slowly becoming a small black dot as it traveled further.'Perhaps, there will never be any other man who will wholeheartedly treat me well and is not even bothered by my criminal records. The only problem is that I don’t want to drag him down with me.'She looked until she could not see the car before turning around to head toward her house.At that moment, she did not notice the black Bentley parked by the roadside not too far away. The person in the car lazily looked out the window with a vague smile as if he was watching something amusing.Gao Congming, who was in the front row, nervously looked through the rearview mirror. After observing his boss for a while, he thought, 'The look on Young Master Yi's face right now... is a telltale sign that he is about to burst out in anger!'Gao Congming inwardly chided Ling Yiran, 'If you're going home, just go home. Why did you allow another man to dri
He casually leaned forward, closing the gap between their faces. His cheek came in contact with her cheek, gently caressing it. However, the words that came out of his mouth next were enough to send goosebumps rising from her skin and bones."None of my business? But I am capable of finding out the answers if I want to. Should I let something happen to him? Then I’ll find out the level of importance he has to you..."Ling Yiran trembled as she glared at Yi Jinli. "What are you going to do? We're just pure colleagues. We do not have anything going on!""But he has feelings for you, isn't it?" he mumbled as his thumb gently rubbed against her lips.Her lips abruptly felt heated as if the spot that came in contact with his thumb was about to go up in flames."Don't... do anything to him," her lips trembled as she spoke these words with difficulty."Does that mean you care about him?" His breath and voice had the power to lower anyone's defenses, but the gaze he had was so sharp that
Yi Jinli pulled Ling Yiran into the car and ordered, “Get us to Royal Court.”“Okay.” Gao Congming acknowledged as he carefully observed the expression of the two people sitting behind via the rearview mirror.Ling Yiran’s head was lowered, thus he could not see her expression. However, Yi Jinli’s mood seemed to be less moody compared to before he entered Ling Yiran’s place. ‘Hmm, I guess it’s considered a good thing,’ Gao Congming thought to himself.The Royal Court Restaurant was Shen City’s famous restaurant. It mainly served traditional palace court dishes, so prices here were exorbitant as well. The diners here solely comprised of the rich and famous. Regular people would not be able to afford a meal here.When the car came to a halt at the entrance of the Royal Court, Yi Jinli naturally held Ling Yiran’s hand once they got out of the car.She wanted to pull her hands out of his grip, but his hold on her was firm. “Sis, don’t move. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what method I
However, compared to the nauseating sensation, she was more afraid of losing her luxurious lifestyle. She was afraid of needing to live like a regular person—working a fixed job from nine to five and becoming prudent when buying any luxury bags.Zhao Mantian feared to lead that sort of life.For Zhao Mantian, she thought of herself as someone who should rightfully lead the upper class life while looking down at Ling Yiran and others of her kind. Now that Ling Yiran had witnessed her currying up to a fatty, the anger in her heart heightened.“Mantian, do you know her?” the short and chubby man next to Zhao Mantian asked.“Yeah. She just came out of jail not too long ago and now works as a road sweeper!” Zhao Mantian viciously revealed Ling Yiran’s identity before looking at the manager. “Since when does Royal Court allow even a road sweeper to dine here?”Yi Jinli’s back was facing Zhao Mantian, so she did not see him.Unfortunately, the manager could!Right now, he was trembling
