The Sparkle of A Lifetime - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Better Not Let Her See You

Yan Yiren was no fool. She could tell what he was trying to say. Hearing those words would make anyone happy.

She softly chuckled. Gazing at the document before him that he clearly hadn’t finished reading, she suggested, “If you’re busy, I’ll go look for Huanhuan now. It’s only her third day here, so I’m going to cheer her on.”

“You can’t.”

The smile on Yan Yiren’s face disappeared. “Why not?”

As if it was obvious, Ji Hanjiang said overbearingly, “All of your time belongs to me. You have to accompany me. During work, employees aren’t allowed to receive guests, or their pay will be docked. If you ditch me to go look for her, would you believe me if I was to say that I’ll sack her myself?”

“Hanjiang, do you need to be so overbearing? She’s Huanhuan, she’s not just anybody.” Yan Yiren couldn’t decide if she wanted to laugh or cry. “I just didn’t want to disturb you.”

Ling Yunhuan, who hadn’t even dared to breathe up until now, was suddenly struck with an idea. She began moving.

For an instant, Ji Hanjiang’s expression stiffened considerably. Yan Yiren noticed, leaning over to check his temperature by touching his forehead with her hand. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine.” Ji Hanjiang immediately adjusted himself, giving the half-read document before him an uneasy look. “I still have things here that I need a little more time to work on. Why don’t you go over to the meeting room first? As soon as the matters here are settled, I’ll come over.”

His girlfriend was in front of him, and within the distance of a table, was Ling Yunhuan below his desk…

Although Yan Yiren was a little disappointed, she knew she couldn’t hold him up. Reluctantly, she got up. “Ok. I’ll be going to the meeting room first.”

“Be good. I’ll be there in a minute.”

Yan Yiren nodded, leaving the office.

Once the door closed behind her, Ling Yunhuan’s head was immediately held in Ji Hanjiang’s tight grasp.

“You sure are gutsy. You dare play the fool in front of Yiren. Ling Yunhuan, I sure have underestimated you.”

Ling Yunhuan was desperate to explain herself. “To steal once is considered stealing. To steal a hundred times is also considered stealing, isn’t it?”

Ji Hanjiang remained silent, his lips pressed into a thin line.

Remembering that Yan Yiren was waiting in the meeting room, he quickly wrapped things up.

“You better watch out. Don’t let Yiren see you, or else…” As for how severe the consequences would be, he’d leave it up to her imagination.

After finishing saying his piece, Ji Hanjiang fixed his tie before striding off.

Ling Yunhuan looked around the spacious President’s office, chuckling coldly. Naturally, she wouldn’t let Yan Yiren see her, at least not now.

But, even if Yan Yiren didn’t see her, did that mean that others couldn’t?

There were so many pairs of eyes out there, and many people had seen her waltz into his office. Why wouldn’t they be able to guess the relationship between them?

In their eyes, Yan Yiren must be an utterly foolish woman.

However, that was the truth.

How foolish she was!

So what if she was prettier, so what if she came from a more prestigious background? In the end, wasn’t Ling Yunhuan still sleeping with Ji Hanjiang?

She had truly regarded her as a good friend. Her best friend.
