Xiao Lingyu brought Yan Siming into the reception room.
At the same time, she also asked Boss Pang to wait in the general manager’s office.
“Brother Yan, why are you here?” Xiao Lingyu poured a glass of water for Yan Siming and asked with a smile.
Yan Siming said with some blame, “How can you still ask that? You came to City Z to open a shop and didn’t inform me. At least I can help. I didn’t know about this until I saw your promotional poster two days ago.” At this point, he paused and continued, “Lingyu, you really don’t treat me as a friend.”
Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “Brother Yan, what are you saying? You’ve already helped me a lot. I don’t have the courage to trouble you further. Besides, you’re the chairman of the Yan Group, and this is just a small supermarket.”
“Even so, you can inform me of your supermarket’s grand opening.” Yan Siming felt like he had been estranged from Xiao Lingyu. “You don’t treat me as a friend.”
Ever since Xiao Lingyu married Gong Tianhao, he had given up and only wished her well. He did care about Xiao Lingyu, but he wasn’t a person to steal a man’s wife. Now that Xiao Lingyu was married, he obviously did not want to interfere with the other party’s marriage.
However, he did not expect Xiao Lingyu to deliberately keep a distance from him, which made him extremely sad.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Brother Yan, that’s not true. I’ve always treated you as a friend.
“It’s just that I’ve left this supermarket to my subordinates to run. I’ve only been to City Z to look at the location once or twice.”
“No, Lingyu.” Yan Siming shook his head, and he pressed. “It’s more than that. I remember that your son should be three to four months old by now.
“He should have celebrated his one-month birthday already. Why haven’t I received the notification for that celebration?
“Xiao Lingyu, you’ve become so guarded against me. I admit that I used to like you, but that is already in the past. I just want to be your friend now.” Yan Siming stressed.
Xiao Lingyu was stunned. Then, she said, “I did call you when Xiao Tong had his full month celebration. However, a woman picked up and told me that you weren’t free.”
Even though the father was not present, the Xiao family still celebrated Xiao Tong’s first month in the world. Other than some important relatives and friends, no one else was notified.
At that time, Xiao Lingyu also considered whether to inform Yan Siming or not.
Mother Xiao said that she should. Even though they couldn’t be lovers, they could still be friends. After all, Yan Siming had helped them a lot too.
Plus, a child’s full month celebration was an important milestone. He should be invited. Xiao Lingyu thought about it. When she told Yan Siming that she was going to marry Gong Tianhao, Yan Siming had made it clear that he would only treat her as a friend from then on.
So, in the end, she gave him a call. She didn’t expect a woman to answer her call.
The woman’s tone was overbearing and arrogant. She said that she was Yan Siming’s girlfriend and told Xiao Lingyu not to call her boyfriend again.
She told Xiao Lingyu to stay away from her boyfriend or she’d break Xiao Lingyu’s legs. She also cursed Xiao Lingyu.
After Xiao Lingyu hung up, she thought about it.
Yan Siming had always been a womanizer. It didn’t matter what kind of relationship he had with that woman on the phone. Since he already had a partner, it was not good for her to disturb him anymore.
Therefore, from then on, Xiao Lingyu stayed away from Yan Siming.
Yan Siming frowned when he heard Xiao Lingyu’s explanation. He asked, “A woman? When did you make the call?” He added, “I didn’t get any call from you. Plus, you could have sent an invitation card.”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “You already have a girlfriend. Your girlfriend told me not to contact you anymore. So, I didn’t.”
Xiao Lingyu felt like a mistress explaining herself. In any case, she really shouldn’t keep close to Yan Siming anymore. She really wanted him to find his true happiness.
On top of that, Gong Tianhao was still injured. He wouldn’t be returning to Taoyuan Village for another two or three years. She didn’t want to give Yan Siming the wrong impression.
What if his girlfriend got the wrong idea?
“But I don’t have a girlfriend.” Yan Siming said seriously.
“What?” Xiao Lingyu didn’t hear him clearly.
“I said, I don’t have a girlfriend.” Yan Siming stressed. “I don’t know when you called me, but I just want to tell you that I don’t have a girlfriend.” His eyes were serious and persistent!
Xiao Lingyu was stunned at first, but then she said with a serious expression, “Brother Yan, you should really find a girlfriend then. This way, you won’t focus on me anymore.”
Xiao Lingyu was very straightforward.
She had rejected Yan Siming more than once, but he didn’t seem to understand.
Xiao Lingyu was also helpless.
When Yan Siming heard her words, his eyes flashed with hurt, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu looked straight into his eyes. Her face wasn’t red, and her heart wasn’t beating. She treated her secret admirer with a normal heart.
Yan Siming stared at her for a moment, and then a proud smile appeared on his face.
He said, “Haha, Lingyu, don’t look so serious! Don’t worry, I’ve said that we’re going to be just friends and that’s what we’ll be. You’re already married. I don’t want to be the third party in your marriage with Gong Tianhao.”
As soon as Yan Siming finished speaking, Xiao Lingyu patted her chest and said with a smile, “Big Brother Yan, your serious expression just now really scared me to death.”
Yan Siming asked with a smile, “How can you be so timid? I still remember how a queen managed to stride into a big company and slaughter everyone.” Yan Siming was referring to the time when they first met in Huiqing Group. Xiao Lingyu looked like she was going to kill all those scumbags.
Xiao Lingyu burst out laughing. “Brother Yan, how can you still remember things from so long ago?”
“Of course, I remember them.” Yan Siming said. It was when he found interest in Xiao Lingyu.
Yan Siming looked around and asked with some confusion, “Why don’t I see Gong Tianhao?”
With Gong Tianhao’s strong possessiveness, he would definitely stay by Xiao Lingyu’s side for such an important matter as the shop opening. Also, he would not allow his love rival to be alone with his wife.
Therefore, Yan Siming found it strange that he didn’t see Gong Tianhao.
It was normal that Yan Siming did not know that Gong Tianhao had fallen into a coma.
After the car accident, Old Master Gong immediately calmed down after a bout of grief.
In order to protect Xiao Lingyu and her son, Old Master Gong sealed off the news of Gong Tianhao’s car accident.
Therefore, other than some acquaintances and local villagers, almost no one knew about the car accident.
When Yan Siming asked about Gong Tianhao, Xiao Lingyu hesitated.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
“Please come in!” Xiao Lingyu said.
It was Zhou Xiaolu who pushed the door open and came in.
“Boss, you have a…” Zhou Xiaolu looked down at the document in her hand and said. When she looked up and saw the other man in the room, she was stunned.
Perhaps she was stunned by his good looks.
Yan Siming also noticed the girl who came in and frowned slightly.
Xiao Lingyu noticed the different expressions of the two people and asked curiously, “Xiaolu, Brother Yan, do you know each other?”
Zhou Xiaolu reacted and quickly shook her head. “No!”
Yan Siming looked at Zhou Xiaolu with a faint smile and said, “How would I know such an ugly woman?”
Zhou Xiaolu, “…”
Xiao Lingyu, “…”
