C35 (1/2)

Chu Lingyu did not let go, but chose to divert her attention: ”What were you crying about?”

Xu Chencan stared blankly for a moment before lowering his head in silence.

She had no idea how she could have dreamed such a dream.

In fact, when her mother had left that year, she was not present, and there had never been a smiling youth.

But that dream was so real. It was as if it had truly happened, as if … It seemed to indicate something.

What could it portend? Did the young man portend that there would be a chosen one in her life who would save her from fire and water?

Xu Chencan would not believe such a thing.

She had already passed the most difficult time. Once her grandfather's operation was successful and she recovered, it would be like walking into spring.

From then on, there wouldn't be anything that could stop her.

”Nothing.” she whispered.

Chu Lingyu glanced at her and did not continue to question her. He carried her downstairs and put her on the sofa. Then he sat down beside her and turned on the television to watch.

After work, they waited for dinner to be ready and watched the TV together, which made them look like an ordinary couple.

Xu ChenCan felt a little uneasy and wanted to stand up, but he held her down, ”Don't move. If your foot is injured, your internship quota will be gone.”

Xu Chencan was speechless.

He was getting more and more used to threatening her with this.

She could go back to work the day after tomorrow. She would be able to endure for another two days, and after her grandfather's operation was successful, she would no longer have to be patient here.

After reading for a while, Chu Lingyu's phone rang.

He picked it up and looked at the caller for a moment, then glanced at Xu Chencan.

Xu Chencan immediately turned away, ”I didn't peek.”

Chu Lingyu did not say a word and went upstairs to answer the call.

Xu Chencan frowned at his back, ”Seriously, it's as if someone wants to hear his business secrets.”

Hearing that, Aunt Ling smiled. ”ChenCan, mister is actually a very shy person. When he makes a phone call, he usually avoids talking to people. It's not because he has a secret, but because he doesn't feel comfortable making a phone call with someone beside him.”

”Really?” Xu Chencan thought of how he had hugged her the night the electricity went off, ”You obviously have such thick skin …” How are you shy? ” She mumbled, and her face quietly turned red.

Aunt Ling was still smiling. ”That depends on who's right.”

Alright, I'll be shameless to her … Who had she offended?

Upstairs in the study room, Chu Lingyu listened to the report on the phone with a serious expression, ”Is this news accurate?”

”Precise, Boss Chu.”

”Alright, give me her contact details. I'll talk to her myself.”

”Ok, Boss Chu.”

A few minutes after the call ended, a message was sent to Chu Lingyu's phone.

Chu Lingyu dialed the number in the message.

A few seconds later, the call connected and a woman's gentle voice came through. She spoke in English, ”Hello, may I know who you are looking for?”

”Chen Jingyuan.” Chu Lingyu called out her name, ”I'm looking for you.”

The woman was stunned and switched to Chinese. ”You …” ”Who are you?”
