“Nice.” Listening to the names of the dishes mentioned by Ling Ran, the saliva in Li’s mouth was already overflowing. Her small head kept moving up and down like a groundhog.
The corners of Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched when she looked at the two people, who were showing off their affection to each other unconsciously, with pink bubbles popping around them. She finally knew the reason why a certain someone had a round face in just half a month.
It would be weird if she did not get fat after being fed so recklessly.
Li took the lunch box handed over by Ling Ran with an excited expression. When she was about to open the lunch box and eat it, she suddenly remembered that there were two people standing beside her. She quickly turned her head and asked them enthusiastically, “General Manager, Xiao He, do you guys want to eat together? There’s a lot of food.”
The two smiled awkwardly, and they reflexively took two steps back. “N-No need. We have eaten just now, so you two eat it.”
At this time, they would be struck by lightning if they disturbed their date. The two of them were aware of this, especially when Li invited them while showing a reluctant expression without any disguise. It would make them feel guilty.
“Oh, I see. It’s such a pity.” Li sighed. She held the lunch box with one hand and held Ling Ran’s hand with another hand. Then, she led him to the table at the side and started to eat the food.
The two girls, who had nothing to eat, were left standing in the same place and stared at each other. They were speechless.
The corners of Su He’s mouth twitched when she looked at Li, who worked hard and had fun eating. Then, she sighed and said, “I feel that Sister Li is very innocent. She will be deceived by other people if they simply give her delicious food. It’s really dangerous.”
Zhao Youlin nodded. Then, she glanced at Li, who was concentrating on eating, and Ling Ran, who was sitting next to her and begging for attention. She could not help but cold sweat, and she said while feeling embarrassed, “I feel that a man who has to compete for a girl’s attention with food is very pitiful.”
“I have the same thought.”
The two pitiful girls, who had no one to come to condolences, just got together like this. They started to gossip about the pair opposite them, who had strange attributes. However, they did not know that the real surprise was still waiting for them outside.
With a soft ding sound, the door of the elevator on the forty-sixth floor opened again.
Zhao Youlin and Su He exchanged glances. They frowned and said, “At this time, who would…”
Zhao Youlin’s unfinished words came to an abrupt halt. Her eyes stared at the young man, who walked out of the elevator, in disbelief. She thought to herself, ‘Why is it him?’
Before she asked this question, Ling Ran, who had seen the young man walk out, had bright eyes, and he enthusiastically shouted, “Yan, here.”
Zhao Youlin frowned. ‘Do these two guys know each other?’
After thinking about it carefully, both Ling Ran and Ye Yan seemed to be the members of the four most powerful families. Among the four most powerful families, the Ling family and Ye family seemed to have a close relationship. It was not surprising that these two people would know each other, but… Why did she not think carefully just now and let the enemy enter out of a momentary curiosity?
When Zhao Youlin was regretting her decision, Ye Yan over there had already walked in stately with two desserts. He smiled at Zhao Youlin and said, “Ms. Zhao, we met again.”
“Yeah, we meet again. What a coincidence.” Zhao Youlin replied insincerely.
Ye Yan did not care about it. He carried one of the desserts and walked to Ling Ran. “The mousse cake you wanted.”
“Thank you.” Ling Ran smiled and took the cake from Ye Yan. After exchanging glances with Ye Yan without a trace, he happily fed the cake he was holding to Li, who was waiting to be fed.
After Ye Yan gave Ling Ran the cake, he walked to Zhao Youlin leisurely and gave her another dessert he was holding. He smiled and said, “I bought one more cake when I bought the cake just now. I wonder if Ms. Zhao can try the new product of this cake shop for my sake.”
Zhao Youlin glanced at the cherry blossom mousse cake in Ye Yan’s hand. The corners of the mouth curled up and showed a mocking smile. How free was he to buy one more of this dessert? Did this man think of her as a girl who would lose her reason after being coaxed with a few words?
“Although Mr. Ye’s dessert looks really good, I’m sorry. I have eaten a lot of desserts in my own store recently, so I’m a bit sick of it. Besides, I don’t have the habit of eating desserts after meals as I will get fat easily.”
On the other hand, Li, who was stuffing dessert in her mouth, suddenly stopped her movement. She raised the silver spoon she was holding and used it as a mirror to take a look at her face. Then, she said sadly, “I really have gained a lot of weight recently.”
The culprit was sitting next to her. He, who was dedicated to making her fat and eating her after that, coughed awkwardly. He quickly said, “There’s no such a thing. You were too thin before, but you’re just fine now. Actually, you can get a little bit more weight.”
If she got a little fatter, it would feel good when he held her. Besides, if she got a little fatter, her chubby face would be cuter.
Li did not know what was in his mind, so she said uncertainly, “Is that so?”
“Yes, you should listen to me.”
“Oh, I’ll have some more then.”
Zhao Youlin, Su He, and Ye Yan were speechless.
Zhao Youlin, who was stimulated by someone’s insensitivity, touched her forehead helplessly. She looked at Ye Yan’s hand, which was still holding the delicate dessert in front of her, and felt troubled. He did not plan to take it back at all.
All of a sudden, the people under the same roof were eating and staring at people respectively. None of them spoke.
The whole room was as silent as a grave, and the atmosphere around Zhao Youlin and Ye Yan was extremely awkward.
Maybe God could not stand the fruitless confrontation between the two as well. With a soft ding, the door of the elevator opened again, and a man, who could be called the savior, came out of it.
Xiao Jingyao was also taken aback when he saw the scene outside the office. He did not understand why the two young masters of the Ye family and Ling family would appear on the general manager’s office floor.
Xiao Jingyao pushed the golden glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he recovered his calm in an instant. He walked straight to Zhao Youlin and whispered, “General Manager, the new department chief of the development department has arrived. Would you like to go down?”
‘Uncle Xiao, you’re my second parent!’ Zhao Youlin’s eyes were shining slightly, and she was secretly relieved. However, her face was as calm as ever.
“The new department chief of the development department is here. Well, let me go down and take a look.” After she finished speaking, she turned her head to Ye Yan and Ling Ran and smiled embarrassedly. “Young Master Ye, Young Master Ling, I have some businesses to take care of, so I’ll leave first. Do treat it as your home. Oh, by the way, since I’m going to the development department, I’ll take this document with me. Xiao He, Li, help me serve these two young masters.”
After Zhao Youlin finished speaking, she directly took out the document, which she had just handed to Su He, from her arms. She passed by Ye Yan and walked into the elevator with Xiao Jingyao.
