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
The one who answered was of course Guan Lili. Guan Lili seemed to deliberately raise her voice. She talked about how Ling Yiran went to jail because she killed someone with her car while drunk driving...Ling Yiran smiled softly. Was Guan Lili stepping on her toes to make up for the frustrations of being suppressed by her in those years? Sure enough, you might not be able to see through people when you were well-regarded. However, once you were destitute, you would certainly see through them.Just as Ling Yiran stepped out of the firm and reached the lift, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind her. A voice rang out, "Yiran, wait!"Ling Yiran turned her head and saw a man hurrying over before stopping in front of her. He was looking at her with an obscure look.He was a moderately good-looking man in his 30s. He was of medium build and dressed in a suit as the city's elites usually did."Yes?" Ling Yiran asked as she looked at her old colleague. He used to partner with her at
At office dinners, she was the only person who would go out of her way to remind colleagues who had been drinking not to drive back but to find a replacement driver.How could a person like her drink and drive?She must have been wronged, he thought. However, as a lawyer, he did not even dare to help her clear her name.He was afraid that her case would be too complicated, and he was afraid that he would have to go against Yi Jinli.Who in Shen City dared to mess with Yi Jinli?He could only say that Yiran had... bad luck!...By noon, Yi Jinli's secretary placed a large order. Ling Yiran was in charge of delivering it, and this routine continued for days on end.Then... Yi Jinli would make her stay for lunch.Ling Yiran had explicitly hinted to Yi Jinli several times about this, hoping he would not do it again.However, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a bright smile, "Don't you like to have lunch with me? I just want you to eat with me."Ling Yiran was rendered speech
However, watching Zhuo Qianyun's beaming face, Ling Yiran sighed to herself and put the order on the electric bike.With more orders, Sis Zhuo could make more money and get Lil Yan a cochlear implant.When she thought of Lil Yan, Ling Yiran could not help but feel a pang in her heart. An adorable boy like him had such a defect. Plus, she had never seen Lil Yan's father after all this time.Lil Yan was also a Zhuo, so she could guess something. Maybe Sis Zhuo was alone with the child.In this case, of course, it was more difficult.Riding on the electric bike, Ling Yiran reached the entrance to the Yi Group building. Several security guards were already familiar with Ling Yiran. When they saw Ling Yiran coming, they enthusiastically put all the food onto the trolley and even helped push it into the building all the way to the elevator. They also kindly pressed the elevator button for her.As for the receptionist, she greeted Ling Yiran with a smile and even bowed in respect.Ling
Ling Yiran pressed her lips together and did not know what to say all of a sudden, so she opened her lunch box and started to eat.Yi Jinli's eyes were fixed on Ling Yiran. It seemed to gradually become a taboo as he tried to keep her by his side again and again.He did not want to let her leave. He only thought about what he should do so that she would willingly stay with him.Since when did having lunch together become something he looked forward to? He could eat with her just like that. He was happy even if they were only eating in silence.Come to think about it, his happiest days were probably from when he was ‘Jin’. At least she would josh with him, treat him as an ordinary person, lovingly dry his hair, and call him ‘Jin’ over and over again.Jin... Jin...Did she know how much he wanted to hear her call him that as if she were calling for her most important family?When Ling Yiran finished eating and looked up, she looked straight into Yi Jinli's eyes.He was watching h
"Thank you," Ling Yiran said as she took the book."I'm the one who should thank you," said Zhuo Qianyun. "Lil Yan has had little communication with outsiders. Besides, he can’t hear or speak, so others are less willing to communicate with him. I'm really happy that you’re willing to learn sign language to talk to him.""Lil Yan is lovable, and he seems to like me too. I guess it's just fate," said Ling Yiran.Fate... Zhuo Qianyun's lips moved, but at last, she only said, "Yes, perhaps... this is fate.""I got to go now, Sis Zhuo," said Ling Yiran."All right, see you tomorrow." Zhuo Qianyun waited until Ling Yiran left before closing the restaurant's door and going into the small room at the back of the restaurant. She looked at her son who was already asleep on his bed. Mrs. Zhuo was gently patting him on the body."Is he asleep?" Zhuo Qianyun asked softly, subconsciously lowering her voice even though she knew her son could not hear her."Yes, he just fell asleep," said Mrs.
