Chapter 318

"That’s true, it seems that Mr. Lin really is a romantic person."

"Yeah, but what’s with the president of the Ou Group? The way he looked just now was quite off."

"..."

The president of the Ou Group?

Who knows?

——

Yeah, who knows?

Secretary Gao didn’t know what had happened either. After watching the president return to his room as soon as he came back and never coming out again, he was quite puzzled.

What’s wrong with the president?

Why does he look so awful?

Turning his head, he saw Miss Lai who had brought him back. He asked, "Miss Lai, did something happen at the banquet where the third young master and your father went?"

La Chenxi smiled, "Nothing happened, it’s probably because he discussed some business matters. You know, he has a bad temper. It’s normal for him to feel uncomfortable if he encounters things he doesn’t like."

This woman seemed to be in a good mood, giving a light and casual explanation when asked.

Hearing this, Secretary Gao felt relieved.

Indeed, his president does have a bad temper, so if he encountered something displeasing at the banquet, it would be normal.

Therefore, he didn’t bother him anymore and went off to prepare the materials for the exhibition the next day.

Meanwhile, the woman, after seeing him leave, looked at the tightly closed door with a bright smile, then went downstairs to prepare food for him.

So the little assistant had such a relationship with the man named Lin she saw during the day. Since that was the case, what was there for her to worry about? noveldrama

She opened the refrigerator and took out his favorite dried scallops...

Ye Ning also returned to the presidential suite.

After returning, the first thing she did was to take off the Jade Pendant from her neck and return it to the man following behind her, "Brother Lin, I’m giving this back to you."

Lin Yebai’s complexion stiffened for a moment, neither accepting it nor refusing it.

She’s a smart girl. He didn’t believe that after what had just happened, she would fail to understand his intention.

Lin Yebai’s lips were somewhat pale, "You don’t like it?"

Ye Ning shook her head, "No, it’s just that I feel such an expensive thing is not suitable for me."

Suitable?

What does ’not suitable’ mean?

Is it the Jade Pendant that’s not suitable, or is he the one who’s not suitable?

Lin Yebai’s gaze darkened, thinking back on the scene that had unfolded in the banquet hall, and the fact that she had almost chased after him, he finally took a step forward, "What exactly is unsuitable? Or is it that you’re unwilling?"

"What?"

"I mean, what are you trying to say with your words? Ye Ning, after all these years, I don’t believe you do not know my feelings. It’s just a Jade Pendant, do you need to reject it?"

Ye Ning: "..."

His words were quite direct. Although he had not said the most crucial words, Ye Ning felt a bit panicked upon hearing them.

"Brother Lin, that’s not what I meant. I just feel it’s not suitable for me to accept it."

"Why is it not suitable?"

"Because... because...,"

Ye Ning’s throat was a bit dry, and her mind was also in disarray; she didn’t know how to answer this question.

Because she had always regarded him as part of her family, as a brother, because she had never considered having different feelings for him.

Ye Ning, with her head bowed, struggled for a long, long time, finally squeezing out the words, "I am an unmarried mother with a child, and because I have also been to jail, I am shunned by society, I’m like a mouse, having to live in the shadows. Brother Lin, I don’t deserve you!"
