However, instead of obediently returning to his mother's arms as he had done yesterday, he tightened his hold on Ling Yiran's legs.Zhuo Qianyun said, "Sorry, Lil Yan's not usually like this. He seems to like you.""It's all right. I like Lil Yan too," said Ling Yiran, picking up the little one as she spoke.The little one did not struggle and was remarkably submissive. He even grinned broadly at Ling Yiran after she picked him up.The smile had a trace of timidity and ingratiation that made Ling Yiran strangely sad. "Hello, Lil Yan," said Ling Yiran, raising her hand to touch the little one's head.However, the little one could not hear her voice at all. He did not know what she was saying. He only looked at her in confusion.Zhuo Qianyun looked at her son and then at Ling Yiran. Suddenly, there was a flash of gloom in her eyes. Did Lil Yan... mistake Yiran for that person? Was that why he was so unnaturally close to... If so, it was such a shame... They could never see that per
Besides, as the boss, she handled the cashier, served the dishes, cleaned the tables, and seemed to do a little of everything. When the business was busy, she had no time at all.Her abilities might be limited, but she gave her son the best that she could give.At about three o'clock, the restaurant received another order, which included pineapple buns and milk tea.It was only when Ling Yiran saw the address that she was distracted."What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Zhuo Qianyun had prepared the order for Ling Yiran only to find her staring blankly at the order receipt."It's nothing," replied Ling Yiran, taking the pineapple buns and milk tea.The address of the order was clearly the law firm where she had previously worked at. Now that she was going to deliver food there, she would naturally meet her former colleagues.Back then, she was such a splendid person in the office, Perhaps in a moment, she would be very embarrassed.Ling Yiran felt a hint of bitterness in he
However, her arm was caught the next moment. Then, with a jerk, she fell into a wide embrace.She unconsciously wanted to break away from his arms, but his hands closed around her and held her closer."What a perfunctory good night, Sis!" he muttered as his lips were close to her ear.Her body trembled a little, and she could feel his breathing on her ears. Her whole body seemed to be enveloped in his breath."You... Let go," she said, her face turning red."Why don't you tell me about your first day at your new job first?" he asked."It's just a regular delivery job. Someone orders something, and I just deliver it to them," she said, feeling her heart beating faster and faster. Even her blood flow was a lot faster."Is that so? Did you have a good meal today?" His voice once again rang in her ear."Yes, I ate with the boss. She provides two meals a day." Her face was heating up as if it was going to burn. The strange sensation made her panic. All she wanted now was for him to
In the wee hours of the day, when Ling Yiran was fast asleep in bed, the door between the two rooms opened slowly. A tall figure walked in.Those normally cold, amorous eyes were looking at the woman on the bed. At this moment, his gaze was full of attachment."Good night, Sis." A low and elegant voice spilled out from his mouth, it was tinged with attachment, and at the same time there was also an unspeakable desperation. ...When Ling Yiran went to work the next day, the store received a large order of more than 30 at noon.Normally, she would only deliver 7 to 8 in one go. All of a sudden, there was an order of more than 30. It was pretty much what the small restaurant would deliver in one afternoon.Zhuo Qianyun hurriedly got the order ready and said to Ling Yiran, "Thank you so much for delivering these.""What about the other food delivery orders?" said Ling Yiran. After all, once she went out to deliver this, she might not be able to deliver the others."It's all right.
After Ling Yiran walked into the building with the trolley, the receptionist greeted her, asking only for her name. She did not even ask her to register and offered to help her press the button for the elevator.All this led to Ling Yiran's speculation to drift in one direction. When she arrived at the address listed on the order, a tall woman in a business suit came over. "Miss Ling? I ordered the food. You can just leave these here, and please take these two to the president's office."Ling Yiran's heart dropped for a moment, and her speculation earlier began to come to light.The president's office... Yi Jinli was the president of Yi Group. Were these two for Yi Jinli's office?Ling Yiran picked two up and walked toward Yi Jinli's office. Standing in front of the dark wooden door, she took a deep breath before knocking twice."Come in." A voice came from inside.Ling Yiran pushed the door open and walked in, only to find Yi Jinli sitting at his desk. He was reviewing the paper
Ling Yiran took the lunch box and quickly began to eat with her head down. All she wanted now was to finish it quickly and leave."Are you eating so fast because you're eager to leave?" Yi Jinli's voice rang softly in the office."Ahem..." Ling Yiran choked, nearly spitting out her food. All she could do was hold her hands and cough with difficulty. Soon, her face became extremely red.Finally, she stopped coughing, but the palm of her hand, which was over her mouth earlier, had some grains of rice on it. Thus, she decided to take a tissue and wipe her palms.However, before she could take the tissue, his fingers grabbed her hand and drew it toward himself.She uncomfortably twisted her wrist but did not break free. "My hand is dirty, I need to wipe it," she said."Dirty?" He chuckled with amusement. "I don't find it dirty at all." As he spoke, he lowered his head. His lips clung to her palm while the tip of his tongue licked the grains of rice off her palm.Ling Yiran stiffened
She went on with the rest of the deliveries, and by the time she had lunch at two o'clock, Ling Yiran did not eat much.Zhuo Qianyun said, "What's the matter? You've eaten so little. Don't you like today's dishes?" When it was lunchtime at noon, everyone in the small restaurant would take advantage of their free time and get the chef to cook several dishes for them to eat together."No, I think I ate too much before coming to work this morning." Ling Yiran looked aside at Lil Yan. "Why aren’t you eating? I'll feed Lil Yan some fruits. I'm full now anyway."Ling Yiran took an apple and peeled it. Then, she cut the apple into small pieces and fed them to Lil Yan.The little one obediently opened his mouth and nibbled at the apple, occasionally smiling at Ling Yiran.After feeding him the fruit, the little one got sleepy. He yawned and spread his hands wide, gesturing Ling Yiran to hug him.Ling Yiran naturally took the little one in her arms and gently lulled him to sleep.Althoug
"By the way, you haven't been back to the office in a long time. Your old colleagues miss you very much. However, it's all right now. We can meet any time we want," said Guan Lili as she pulled Ling Yiran into the office. "Since you're here, why don't you meet your old colleagues?"Ling Yiran glanced at Guan Lili. She certainly knew what she was up to.In that case, she should just face them. If she escaped, they would only laugh at her."Okay, I’ll meet them," Ling Yiran said generously.Her attitude, on the contrary, surprised Guan Lili. After all, it was not what she expected to see.Once inside, Guan Lili clapped her hands in the main office and drew everyone's attention. "Come and take a look, everybody. Yiran, our former colleague, came back to see us."All of a sudden, many people in the office looked in their direction.As Ling Yiran looked around, she saw a mix of former colleagues and new ones she did not know."Sis Guan, did she work here before? Where is she working
