Chapter 338

"Better call him anyway. He might have forgotten to eat again."

"... Brother Ming, is Master really heartbroken?"

"Stop worrying about things that aren't your business. Finish eating and get to work!"

He Lele glanced over slightly. Seeing that "Brother Ming," who wore black-rimmed glasses, knock on the door and enter L's office, her heart began to beat heavily and uncontrollably.

"Lingyu, I really have something else to do—"

Ren Lingyu grabbed He Lele. "Is it really something else, or are you afraid to see someone?"

Watching Rong Qingya looked at the two in surprise. Her clever little head immediately understood what was going on, and her delicate, bright eyes kept darting around.

"Lingyu, I, you understand. It's impossible between him and me."

"Yes, I understand. I understand your thoughts and your choices. But... do you understand Boss's thoughts and Boss's choices? Have you ever given him a chance to choose?"

"..."

"Lele, go see him!"

Lowering her eyes, He Lele shook her head stiffly.

"Lele!" Ren Lingyu couldn't help but point at Li Yiquan's office and shout, "Boss has liked you for three years! You can accept a man you've only known for three months, why can't you accept him!"

Everyone was shocked by Ren Lingyu's words and looked at He Lele in unison.

He Lele closed her eyes, letting her body heat up, tense, and tremble under everyone's gaze.

"I, I'm sorry... Lele, I—" As soon as the words left her mouth, Ren Lingyu was overwhelmed by her own guilt. On one side was her best friend, on the other was her mentor. Seeing the Boss she respected and admired most hiding his wounds and working frantically every day, she was really going crazy!

With a soft sound, the door to Li Yiquan's office was gently opened. Fang Ming raised his hand to push up his glasses and walked out.

"Brother Ming, Brother Li?" someone emboldened themselves to sneak over and ask in a low voice.

Fang Ming looked at the thin figure in front of Ren Lingyu. "He's not here."

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then they heard Fang Ming continue, "... That's what he said."

Fang Ming curled his lips in what could have been anger or disdain, closed the door behind him, and muttered to himself, "'If she doesn't want to see me, I will hide myself well.' Damn! I can't believe I actually heard such disgusting words with my own ears in this lifetime!"

The miserable Jiangshan has to work two extra days this weekend... begging for comfort, begging for head pats, begging for condolences!

☆, (11 Fresh Coins) Chapter 280: Long Time No See

"You helped me bring my luggage over? That's great! You actually managed to convince Caitlin to let me study abroad alone! Not alone? You're going to be my assistant tutor? That couldn't be better! Right now?" Watching Rong Qingya turned her head to look at the skyscrapers on both sides of the road. "I'm over by the Ya-Building. You're coming over now? No need to rush so much... Oh, I see. Then wait a moment! I'll call you back in a bit."

Watching Rong Qingya hurried two steps to He Lele's side, looking hesitantly and uneasily at her calm but vacant face. "Sister Lele, where... are we going?"

"Hmm?" He Lele looked at Watching Rong Qingya blankly, her brain taking several seconds like a network lag to react to what Watching Rong Qingya had asked.

Where to?

He Lele looked around, gave a bitter smile, and turned to head back the way they came. "I'm sorry, Qingya, I was distracted. Let's go back and get the car. Is there anywhere else you want to go?"

"..." Watching Rong Qingya shook her head, looking at He Lele with concern. Although she really wanted to help, she really didn't know how to help with matters of the heart. Right! Maybe Lilith has a way! Even if she can't solve Sister Lele's problem, she can definitely make Sister Lele forget her troubles and be happy for a while!

"Sister Lele, a good friend of mine is bringing my luggage over. Shall we find a place nearby to sit for a while?"

He Lele was just about to nod when she saw a man walking toward her with long strides.

"Can we talk?" Fang Ming asked with a casual tone.

Cat Coffee House

Fang Ming set down his coffee cup and glanced at He Lele in front of him. He wasn't specifically looking for her; he had just come out to buy a pack of cigarettes and saw that she hadn't gone far, so he wanted to take another look at what kind of woman that perverted kid had fallen for.

Li Yiquan didn't have a girlfriend; everyone knew this. If it weren't for the fact that the perverted kid's private life was as clear as lice on a bald man's head, they would have suspected the kid liked men. However, he had always known that Li Yiquan had a mysterious "private singer." Whenever Li Yiquan rested, that clear and moving singing voice would ring out in Li Yiquan's office. And in Li Yiquan's car, he hadn't heard a third person singing in that kid's car for two years! Especially the way that kid would softly harmonize while driving—it disgusted him every time he saw it!

"You like this girl so much, why don't you go after her?" he had asked once.

"Because... it's rare to like someone."

He had picked at his ear at the time. "Trouble Lawyer Li to explain that to me."

"Heh, I'm very satisfied with the current state. I don't want to break it."

"You, you kid, do you have to be so thoroughly perverted? You're perverted in the brain, fine, but why is your psychology so perverted too? Are you sure your male hormones are secreting? You say you've liked a woman for several years, have you never thought about meeting her, kissing her, or sleeping with her?"

"... If I go see her and lose my current good mood, will you compensate me?"
