Zhao Youlin saw his eyebrows twitch and thought that her goal had been achieved. She did not bother to continue arguing and cleared her throat. She said coldly, “Alright, this matter ends here. But it won’t happen
again. If it happens again, | don’t care if it’s your cousins, siblings, nephews, or anything else. Without permission, you leaked the things I asked you to investigate. The consequences… won’t be what you want to try
finding out.”
Everyone’s expression changed, and they hurriedly said, “We will keep our mouths shut and never let anyone know about this.”
“I hope so.”
As Zhao Youlin spoke, she suddenly felt the cell phone in her pocket vibrate, and her eyes flashed. She said indifferently, “Alright, that’s it for today. Get to work. Remember, you only have a month in total. If you’re late,
don’t bother waiting.”
As soon as Zhao Youlin said this, the few of them dispersed as if they had been granted amnesty. They scrambled to run outside as if something terrible was chasing them from behind.
Seeing that everyone in the office had left, and she was the only one left, Zhao Youlin calmly picked up the phone.
As expected, a familiar voice immediately came from the other end of the phone. “Why did you take so long to pick up the phone?”
“| had something to do just now. I was busy.”
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then asked, “Are you done now?”
“I just finished,” Zhao Youlin replied briefly. She walked to the soft sofa and sat down. She sighed comfortably and looked at the clock above her head. She was a little surprised, “Why did you call me at this time? What’s
the matter?”
As soon as Zhao Youlin said this, the silence on the other end of the phone became even longer.
“Huh? Why aren’t you talking?” Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but ask when she didn’t hear a response for a long time.
Soon, Zhao Youlin heard a familiar voice from the other end of the phone. “I heard that there’s a new coffee shop on the street in front of our house. It tastes pretty good. Do you want to stop by after work later?”
Zhao Youlin was stunned for a few seconds before she understood the real purpose of this awkward man. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Speaking of the coffee shop, she suddenly thought of Qin Huai, who had just been sent away not long ago. Zhao Youlin suddenly had the thought of teasing a certain someone. She coughed lightly, she said in a low
voice, “Mu Tingfeng, being able to marry me in this life is the greatest blessing in your life.”
You have to know that I’m also very popular. There was once a person who silently liked me for nearly three years, but I chose you. So, if you don’t treat me well in the future, I will definitely not let you off!
On the other end of the phone, Mu Tingfeng seemed to be frightened by Zhao Youlin’s sudden words. After a long while, he replied to Zhao Youlin, “Zhao Youlin, being able to marry me is also the greatest blessing in
your life.”
As soon as Mu Tingfeng said this, the people on both ends of the phone fell silent at the same time. After about half a minute, the two of them laughed at the same time.
Thanks to fate, the best of you and the best of me met at the right time and place. Even if our beginning wasn’t perfect, everything now… made us feel that being together with each other was the greatest happiness in
our lives!
Ever since An Yue acknowledged Nie Xingzhi, the typical visitors at the Zhao residence over the weekend clearly increased. An Yue was almost four months pregnant now, and her belly was swelling rather extensively.
It became more and more like a treasure in the hands of a group of people. Wherever she went, there would always be people following her everywhere, afraid that she would make any mistakes.
Such a situation only became even more intense after An Yue’s first fetal movement. A group of elders who were almost a hundred years old together would circle around An Yue’s stomach whenever they had free
time.
Even Zhao Youlin couldn’t stand it anymore and complained, “That little hobbit hasn’t even been born yet and they’re already circling around him. Who knows how badly he’ll be spoiled by those elders in the future.”
An Qi stood at the side and looked at An Yue who was surrounded by stars. There was an obvious smile on her lips. She wanted to move closer, but she was pushed out again.
After a few times, An Qi sighed helplessly. She silently turned around and left the house, walking toward the balcony outside.
Unlike the others who had their eyes fixed on An Yue, Nie Yunfan’s gaze had been fixed on An Qi from the beginning to the end.
When he saw An Qi walk out, Nie Yunfan glanced at the lively crowd surrounding An Yue without a trace and followed her out.
The balcony of the Zhao family was facing the wind. A cool autumn wind blew in at the right time, making An Q’s head clear up.
“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
A voice suddenly came from behind, giving An Qi a fright. She turned her head and saw Nie Yunfan standing behind her.
“Why don’t you make any sound when you walk?” An Qi touched her frightened heart and complained in a low voice.
Nie Yunfan smiled. “If you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. You’re so scared. Could it be that you’ve done something wrong?”
An Qi rolled her eyes at him. “It’s not a matter of whether I’ve done something wrong, is it? People scare people to death. Haven’t you heard of it?”
Nie Yunfan touched his nose and walked to An Qi’s side. He changed the topic. “Why aren’t you inside?”
An Qi also turned around and looked down at the scenery from the balcony. “There are too many people inside. It’s a bit stuffy.”
“There are too many people… Well, actually, I think so too.” Nie Yunfan pretended to be looking at the scenery downstairs like An Qi, but he had been carefully observing An Qi’s reactions from the corner of his eye.
After hesitating for a long time, Nie Yunfan finally couldn’t help but say again, “Do you feel unhappy?”
“Unhappy?” An Qi turned her head to look at Nie Yunfan in surprise as if she didn’t quite understand what Nie Yunfan meant. “Why should I be unhappy?”
Nie Yunfan was suddenly a little speechless, but he continued, “Don’t you feel unhappy seeing so many people surrounding Yue Yue? Yue Yue originally only had you as her family, and you as her elder sister. You were
the closest person to her, but now…”
In fact, Nie Yunfan wanted to ask this — wouldn’t you feel unhappy when you see so many people surrounding An Yue while ignoring you?
It was the same before. When they found out about An Yue’s background, everyone sympathized with An Yue. However, no one thought that An Qi, a girl, would witness true death at such a young age. Moreover, she
even accepted the daughter of the deceased. She took the roles of both mother and elder sister.
It was true that both girls were orphans, but An Qi had been protecting An Yue since she was young. What about An Qi? Who could protect her?.
