The Sparkle of A Lifetime - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Still Couldn’t Get Over

His gentle words of comfort were more powerful than anything.

Yan Yiren quietened down, her face turning red as she lowered her head in embarrassment. “Mn.”

With a snap, the long apple strand of apple peel in Ling Yunhuan’s hand broke.

She lowered her eyelids so no one was able to see the storm that raged within her.

They were going to get married?

So soon?

All of a sudden, Ling Yunhuan’s feelings soured. She felt disoriented as if everything was spiraling out of her control.

No, she couldn’t just sit by and watch things play out just to get kicked away like this.

It wasn’t wrong to love someone. If your lover could be snatched away, then that person wasn’t truly yours.

There was something between her and Ji Hanjiang, and that was enough to prove that she wasn’t completely worthless.

Before Yan Yiren came along, Ji Hanjiang had been a Casanova. He had dated numerous girls.

Come to think of it, it was thanks to her that Yan Yiren had even met Ji Hanjiang!

If she hadn’t accepted the concert tickets from the person who was wooing her, Yan Yiren wouldn’t have met Ji Hanjiang who had been at the very same concert. She wouldn’t have got close to him, and they wouldn’t have eventually gotten together.

Ling Yunhuan was angry with herself. There had only been two seats. How could she have chosen the wrong seat and missed out on sitting next to Ji Hanjiang!

Otherwise, she would have been the one he had stepped on!

Even today, after three years had passed, she still couldn’t get over this matter.

That was why she had sneaked into the hotel, into Ji Hanjiang’s suite, despite knowing that Yan Yiren had always kept that last line Ji Hanjiang couldn’t cross, despite knowing that she wasn’t willing to give herself to Ji Hanjiang, despite her being Ji Hanjiang’s girlfriend.

While he was drunk, Ling Yunhuan had played dirty in order to have a sexual relationship with him.

…

While Yan Yiren was hospitalized, Ling Yunhuan came over almost every day to keep her company.

Ji Hanjiang came over once he finished work in the evening. Then, he would order in, and the three of them would dine together.

Ling Yunhuan didn’t come to visit on the day Yan Yiren was discharged. Yan Yiren only received a call from Ling Yunhuan in the afternoon. Excitement was clear in her voice.

“Yiren, my job application to the Ji Group was a success!”

“Ji Group?” There was only one Ji Group in Ning City – Ji Hanjiang’s Ji Group.

Ling Yunhuan’s excited voice quietened down, a tinge of pitifulness laced in her voice. “Yiren, you’re not angry that I didn’t tell you before I sent in the application, are you? When I was looking through the job vacancies, I happened to see that Ji Group was hiring an assistant manager. Since the pay and employee welfare provided seemed good, I went ahead and submitted an application. I never expected my application to be a success. Yiren, are you annoyed with me?”

What more could Yan Yiren say?

The company was hiring, and Ling Yunhuan was coincidentally looking for a job. There was nothing weird about the situation.

Yan Yiren hadn’t even considered overthinking it and began to reassure her. “Why would I be annoyed with you? It’s good. Now that you’re at Ji Group, you’ll be able to help me supervise Hanjiang. Help me check if he keeps a distance from his secretary and his female subordinates.”

As she was saying this, Ji Hanjiang was by her side, smiling the entire time as he gazed at her. At her words, he rubbed his forehead helplessly.

“How would I dare?” he mouthed to her.

Yan Yiren chuckled softly, ignoring him. Ling Yunhuan heaved a large sigh of relief, patting her chest as she promised, “Don’t worry, Yiren! I promise to carry out this mission!”

After she hung up, Ji Hanjiang came over and embraced her. Yan Yiren buried herself into his chest, hitting his side with one hand. “You heard that? Huanhuan’s going to start working at the Ji Group. You better keep away from the women, or else you’re going to get it from me.”
