157 There Is No Feeling Between Them

After lunch break, Lin Jiao, who had left the CEO’s office, rushed downstairs to start a new round of work.

She was busy completing the task given by Zheng Yi, her fingertips moving back and forth on the keyboard.

“Let me tell you something.” Zhuo Yuan, who was sitting behind her, started gossiping with the surrounding employees.

“What?”

“Pan Jun and Zhao Lan have registered their marriage.”

“So soon?” Sun Haoran felt that it hadn’t been long since that incident. “I thought he couldn’t get a divorce.”

Aly, who was on his right, pursed her lips and said, “Once a man makes up his mind, he will get a divorce no matter what.”

“I pity his first wife.”

“Indeed.” Zhuo Yuan picked up the glass of water. “Pan Jun is really ruthless. He would rather give out more than half of his assets than continue living with her.”

“Don’t tell me Zhao Lan is pregnant?”

“I think so.”

“No wonder he’s in a hurry to get remarried.” Aly opened the WeChat message sent by the receptionist and walked to Lin Jiao’s side.

She lowered her voice. “Someone is looking for you downstairs.”

“Who?”

“A Mr. Yan.”

Lin Jiao frowned in deep thought.

She thanked Aly and put down her work to go downstairs to see Mr. Yan.

Yan Jingshun, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, saw her and quickly waved at her.

He stared at that unfamiliar and familiar face and felt that she had become prettier after not seeing her for a while.

“Lin Jiao, are you still angry?” His clear voice was filled with uncertainty.

“For what?”

“It was indeed not my intention to leave without saying goodbye last month. I explained it to you on WeChat, but you didn’t reply.”

The afternoon after Yan Jingshun booked the concert tickets, he was called to go overseas temporarily.

At that time, he was too busy to contact her. Later on, he sent her a WeChat message, but she did not respond to him.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Lin City, he rushed to see her to prevent their relationship from worsening.

“I didn’t pay attention to it.” Lin Jiao’s memory did not want to admit that she had a ‘blind date’ with Yan Jingshun.

She automatically classified him as an ordinary friend. “You don’t have to come over because of this.”

Her expression did not change, and she did not look angry at all.

Yan Jingshun heaved a sigh of relief.

“Are you free tonight?” He stuffed his hands into his jacket pockets.

“Why?”

“I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Lin Jiao shook her head. “I have to spend time with my boyfriend.” She lit up her phone screen. “Let’s have dinner next time.”

Hearing the word ‘boyfriend’, Yan Jingshun couldn’t help but find it unbelievable.

He stared at the glowing ring and had to accept it. “When did this happen?”

“It’s been a while.” Lin Jiao did not understand the emotions in his eyes and did not care.

“Is he good to you?”

“Very good.” She rubbed the work pass on her chest and tried to end the conversation. “I still have proposals to finish. I’ll go upstairs first.”

Yan Jingshun, who was consumed by regret, called her again.

He knew that it was too late. Nothing he said could change this situation. He only asked, “Can we still be friends?”

“We’ve always been friends.”

“Then can you reply to me on WeChat in the future?”

Seeing that he cared so much about “replying to WeChat”, Lin Jiao could only apologize again for ignoring him.

She then replied, “I will.”

Yan Jingshun felt much better.

He crumpled the movie tickets in his pocket and looked at her gently. “Go ahead. I’ll see you another day.”

“Alright.” Lin Jiao smiled and said goodbye to him.

She found Yan Jingshun on the WeChat list. Not only did she not see his message, but she also realized that he was also blocked.

She thought that she had deleted the message and blocked him by mistake. She did not think about it at all and got back to work after unblocking him.

“Senior, help me take a look.” Before submitting the proposal, Meng Qi sent her a copy.

“You just finished editing it today?”

“No.” She moved the chair closer to her. “The one Brother Zheng beat back has been edited.”

Lin Jiao scrutinized it from beginning to end.

When she made some suggestions, Meng Xi was staring at her ring in a daze, as if she was not listening at all.

“Did I make myself clear?” She looked down and raised an eyebrow.

Only then did Meng Qi come back to her senses. “Yes, very clear.”

“Then edit it.”

“Where?”

“Product content.” Lin Jiao pointed out what she needed to edit and did not repeat her suggestion.

She then closed the document. “Are you feeling unwell? Why are you out of sorts all day?”

“No, I was thinking about something.”

“If you have something urgent to deal with, you can tell Brother Zheng and ask him to approve your leave.”

“It’s not necessary.” Meng Qi opened the takeout bag on the table and took out a box of cakes.

She picked up the spoon and ate slowly. “Senior, the wedding ring you’re wearing is Cartier’s, right?”

“Right.”

“President Pei is wearing the same one.”

“What a coincidence.” Lin Jiao pretended to be surprised.

She lifted the lid of the cup. “I didn’t even notice the ring he was wearing at the press conference.”

“It’s indeed hard to see from that far away.”

“How did you know then?”

“The media has already exposed it.” Meng Qi showed her a close-up photo.

Lin Jiao, who was not suspected, was relieved. “Cartier is very popular. It’s no surprise that we have the same one.”

“Indeed.” Meng Qi fiddled with her bracelet.

She swallowed a spoonful of cake. “I heard from a friend that President Pei’s girlfriend was chosen by his family.”

Lin Jiao was speechless.

She knew very well that before Pei Zhi made their relationship public, there would be many speculations and rumors, so she could not be bothered to take it to heart.

“Does your friend know his family?” She took two sips of fruit tea and continued typing.

“No, she heard it from someone else too.”

“The rumors will change after being spread a few more times. What you hear might not be true.”

“But I think it might really be the case.” Meng Qi recalled the scene in the morning again. “When the reporters asked him, he didn’t want to talk about it.”

“The occasion was dedicated to the new products. Personal matters about him shouldn’t be brought up at all.”

“It wouldn’t hurt to answer some, right?”

Lin Jiao found it hard to continue this conversation.

She could not understand Meng Qi’s thoughts, nor did she plan to argue with her.

Meng Qi did not mind not getting a response.

She continued, “In my opinion, there is no feeling between them.”

“And?”

“That’s all.”

Lin Jiao had a guess.

She turned to look at Meng Qi, as if she did not want to miss any of her expressions. “Do you like President Pei?”

“Not really.” Meng Qi smiled.

She did not hide her thoughts. “I’m only interested in his appearance, but that’s it.”

Hearing that someone was interested in her boyfriend, Lin Jiao felt complicated.

She took a deep breath. “You want to chase him?”
