“About that... I can’t be going around announcing that I have a boyfriend.” If she did that, her colleagues would think that she was a lunatic.“Is that so? Okay, I understand,” he said.She blinked her eyes. ‘What does he understand? Why do I have a feeling that we’re not on the same page?’...The next day at the company Qin Lianyi worked in, rumors about yesterday’s incident were spreading like wildfire. The kind of gazes that her colleagues gave her was different than the usual.Some of them even mocked Qin Lianyi right in her face. “How shameless of you! Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu are a couple yet you still want to put your foot in!”“That’s right. Even if you want to be a third party, don’t do it within the company!”Qin Lianyi scoffed and fought back. “What third party? If you all don’t know the whole truth, then check the facts first. If I would have eyes for Shen Ziyu, I’d dig out my eyes!”“You’re just being boastful now. What’s wrong with Shen Ziyu? He’s a graduate fr
Qin Lianyi wanted to hurl more insults at them when suddenly her vision was attracted to something further behind Zhou Jiewen at the entrance of the office. She saw her boss walking into the office, but that was not the problem. The problem was the person next to him... was Bai Tingxin?!Qin Lianyi blinked her eyes and looked carefully. Okay, her eyes were not playing tricks on her. It was really Bai Tingxin.Bai Tingxin saw her as well but did not greet her. He merely shot her a smile and continued his conversation with her boss.From Qin Lianyi’s point of view, her boss was being very respectful and humble toward Bai Tingxin when they conversed. They were talking as they walked, and her boss got his secretary to brew some tea to serve in his office room.Qin Lianyi thought about it and understood why. After all, their design firm was not famous in Shen City. Their main company was slightly better in which it managed to squeeze itself into the rankings. As for their firm, it was m
Qin Lianyi sneaked a glance at Bai Tingxin. ‘Hmm, he looks good in a suit. He looks rather handsome! He is indeed very good-looking! No wonder I was so rash to do such a thing to him when I got drunk back then.‘On that note, he does have a good physique. Although he’s a little on the skinny side, he’s muscularly firm...’ Qin Lianyi recalled the time she saw Bai Tingxin in his full naked glory as she looked at him...Her complexion immediately flushed red, and she quickly looked down. She was telling herself to stop thinking of such nonsense.Bai Tingxin caught sight of Qin Lianyi who was at a corner with her head lowered. He was unsure of what was going through her mind.Looking at her figure, Bai Tingxin’s lips inadvertently curved into a small smile.The boss said to Bai Tingxin, “Mr. Bai, we can begin.”“Okay.”Thus, the boss started the meeting. He began by introducing Bai Tingxin, then he introduced some of the past projects done by the firm.He did not forget to mention
Everyone at the design firm thought it was true. After all, Shen Ziyu was quite a catch while Qin Lianyi was just a nobody at the design firm. She came from an ordinary family background and had ordinary looks as well. It was quite normal for her to be interested in a man like Shen Ziyu.After what happened yesterday, many colleagues were on Zhou Jiewen's side.Many felt that even though Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu were keeping their relationship low-key without anyone knowing, Qin Lianyi should not try to steal him away.However, who would have thought Qin Lianyi's boyfriend would be Bai Tingxin, the president of Bai Feng Group!If they compared Bai Tingxin and Shen Ziyu, were the results not obvious? Bai Tingxin won in every way!If Qin Lianyi had a boyfriend like Bai Tingxin and still seduced Shen Ziyu... That was impossible, no?Immediately, many colleagues who had been partial to Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu changed the way they looked at them and began to wonder if things were n
Bai Tingxin turned around and looked at Shen Ziyu. A moment later, he chuckled and said, "It seems that there really is a misunderstanding."He said it carelessly with a look of contempt, and Shen Ziyu's face was immediately red.He was implying that he was not someone Qin Lianyi would like as he could not even win against Bai Tingxin, but Shen Ziyu could not argue.Bai Tingxin once again turned to Qin Lianyi and said, "Tell me if there are any more misunderstandings next time. Don't let others think that you don’t have a boyfriend."Then, he lovingly touched Qin Lianyi’s head. Qin Lianyi immediately felt like she had a spotlight on her, attracting even more envious eyes.However, the problem was... She was going to break up with Bai Tingxin! The more people envied her now, the more she would be ridiculed in the future.Qin Lianyi looked miserable. She was suffering but could not let it show....The meeting ended in such envy and embarrassment for Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu tha
She was dating him now, so to speak. Therefore, if she was involved in any scandal with other men, it would be humiliating for him.However, he did not think of the trouble he was causing her by making their relationship public today. When the time came for them to break up, perhaps the only thing she could do is to change her job.Qin Lianyi immediately laughed at herself. In the end, he was still ‘getting even’ with her. The more miserable she was, the happier he would be."All right, I see. I don’t think anyone else will think that I’m after their boyfriends anymore,” said Qin Lianyi.Bai Tingxin frowned a little. The way she was speaking somehow made him feel uncomfortable. It was as if she was emitting an invisible sense of alienation from her body, stretching the distance between them."You don't like it?" asked Bai Tingxin, squinting his eyes."No, you're my boyfriend, and it's the right thing to do," Qin Lianyi replied with a smile. "What you did today embarrassed Zhou Ji
She had a vague conjecture in her mind, but it was so crazy that she could not believe it herself.Just then, her phone rang. Ling Yiran looked at the caller ID. It was Zhuo Qianyun's number, so she answered the call."Lil Yan will be discharged tomorrow, Yiran. Can you come to work the day after tomorrow? I'd like to tidy up the restaurant and reopen it the next day," said Zhuo Qianyun."Sure, no problem," replied Ling Yiran. Speaking of which, it had been a rare break for her after she got out of prison."Great. By the way, Lil Yan wants to talk to you too. Why don't you say something to Lil Yan?" said Zhuo Qianyun.Ling Yiran was slightly stunned for a moment, then she said into the phone, "Lil Yan? I'm Aunt Yiran, can you hear me? I'll see you the day after tomorrow, Lil Yan. When you can understand and speak, how about I tell you lots of stories?"Even though she knew that he might not understand what she was saying, she still hoped so.As she spoke, a young but hoarse voic
Ling Yiran stared at the man in front of her. If her idea of Yi Jinli's influence in Shen City had only been a rumor before, it seemed to be a more concrete impression now.However, it was the demolition of a big shopping mall after all. Even if he had something to do with it, he probably went through a lot to do it. Otherwise, how could the Hao family be so willing to demolish it?He did all of this just because she was humiliated by the Hao family in the mall that day.She thought that he had stood up for her by slapping Lyu Zhixue when the Hao family came to apologize. She did not expect him to do more."Why?" she asked breathlessly, her nose feeling a little sore somehow."Because of you," he replied. Those four simple words seemed to contain thousands of words.She was the reason he had done it.It was because she was the one he guarded with great care. He could not bear to hurt her himself. How could he allow others to hurt her?"Besides, this way, the Hao family will kno
