Chapter 9 (1/2)

Chapter 9 Meet AgainWith her white handbag and new Gucci autumn clothing, Elly looks very strange in the dusty cutting workshop.

She has been standing there for a while. As a designer of Fortune House, Qin Baojia has recommended a job for Li Anping’s ex-girlfriend and the job is in Treasure House, their rival company. This is no less than a smack in her face!

Elly can never bear such insult!

Seeing Elly and Li Anping, Baojia doesn’t panic at all. She just casts a glance at Lin Luoran with concern.

Lin Luoran also recognizes the voice of Li Anping’s new girlfriend and she speculates that Li Anping might be here too. It is true that one can never avoid his/her enemy. Lin Luoran sees the concern in Baojia’s eyes and smiles back, showing Baojia that she can deal with this.

Liu Zheng pushes up his gla.s.ses and says with a smile, “Elly, you have a wrong idea. We are compet.i.tors, not enemies, right?”

There is a saying that no one will punch a smiling face. Elly ignores Liu Zheng and walks quickly in her high heels toward Baojia, “Qin Baojia, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

Li Anping echoes, “Baojia, all thanks to you that I can work in Fortune House. We don’t have to make things embarra.s.sing for private reasons… Luoran’s parents were good to me, and I will recommend jobs for her for their sake.”

Baojia waves her hand in disdain, “Li Anping, you kind of kept man is out of our league. I was blind and unfortunate to recommend you to work in Fortune House!”

Li Anping is p.i.s.sed, and he becomes even angrier, for Lin Luoran is still back to him, “Lin Luoran, are you going to turn around? Where are your manners?”

As a man, Li Anping is so narrow-minded that Liu Zheng begins to frown even as an outsider of their history.

Baojia is about to lose her temper, but Lin Luoran holds her hands and stops her. Lin Luoran says with a smile, “Mr. Liu, I am so sorry.”

Since Lin Luoran ate that fruit, her mind has become clearer as her body feels lighter so that she is now able to think more comprehensively. Without the fruit, she might have lost her head in this situation.

Lin Luoran turns around and looks at Li Anping with a poker face.

Li Anping is stunned. The woman in front of him looks like the 17-year-old Lin Luoran. Her eyes are s.h.i.+ning like stars in the sky.

He wants to reach for the stars… Li Anping and Lin Luoran used to sit on the gra.s.s on their campus, and Li Anping would cover Lin Luoran’s eyes and say, “I want to pick up the stars in your eyes.”

Li Anping can’t remember how Lin Luoran answered at that time.

But now, Lin Luoran looks even more stunning than she was in her girlhood… He does remember clearly that a few days ago, Lin Luoran was gaunt. He also knows that Lin Luoran is 27 years old. How can she become younger all of a sudden?

“Li Anping, are you lost in your memory with your old lover?”

Elly’s cold hum wakes Li Anping from his absence.

Right. Lin Luoran becomes pretty, so what? There are so many beautiful women in the world, but a beautiful woman who is rich as Elly is hard to find! Li Anping comforts himself, deliberately ignoring his amazement when seeing Lin Luoran and his lack of confidence while having the thought of “Elly is pretty”.

“Baojia, the job is settled. Shall we go?” Lin Luoran says.

Lin Luoran feels disgusted that she has to pretend to be indifferent when seeing Li Anping and Elly! Li Anping is resentful but he can’t say anything in case Elly gets even angrier.

Baojia earnestly wishes to get away from this shameless couple, so she agrees to Lin Luoran’s suggestion immediately.

“Master Liu, I’ll contact you later!” Baojia says while walking out with Lin Luoran.
