Chapter 696 Please listen to me (1/2)

Unaware of the situation that took place at Jade Condos, Yue Ling returns to De L'amour and enters her office. A few seconds after her, Liu Shan greets her by poking his head in and smiles at her.

”How did it go?”

Yue Ling doesn't pause in her steps and walks to sit down on one of the two white couches. She looks at Liu Shan and slightly signals with her chin to the couch across from her.

”Sit.”

Hearing her, Liu Shan pout his lip. Her tone was normal but why does he get a feeling that something was bothering her? Actually, if he really thinks about it, it was like he had been turned into a cute little bunny and was being tricked by the big bad wolf.

However, seeing how composed she is, he brushes this thought away and enters the room.

”Was the meeting with Secretary Jiang that bad?”

He takes a seat and asks curiously with a trembling smile. He didn't go with her because he had to run some errands for her. Could it be that there was a disagreement between the two parties?

Yue Ling stares at her assistant without interrupting his movements or question. She waited until he had settled down and finally spoke.

”I personally interviewed her and decided that she will start next week.”

Giving her a small nod in understanding, Liu Shan sounds an 'ah'. However, thinking about something, he purses his lip with a frown.

”Is this a good choice? How do we know that she won't become another Ming Yue?”

He had to ask as he was worried. Unlike him and everyone else, Ming Yue was the only person hired who had no connections to Fate.

Actually, Sophia could be considered the same since she hasn't worked here for long. Despite her having not having any personal connections to Fate, her deceased father was a close friend of Old Han.

However, the point is, what if Secretary Jiang turns out to be another Ming Yue?

Especially now that the world knows De L'amour and An Qing are under the same person, who wouldn't wish to get on Yue Ling's good side?

”I know why you're worried, but don't think too much.”

Yue Ling interrupts his thoughts and leans back on the couch. She casually crosses on leg over the other and sighs a faint smile.

”We won't know until we give her a chance.”

Her eyes calmly flutter, and she looks straight at Liu Shan with a slight tilt to her head.

”Instead of worrying about Secretary Jiang, I have a question for you.”

Liu Shan was now at a loss by her words. He wanted to discuss the matters with Secretary Jiang, but seeing how her expression, he could only let it go. She was always someone with good judgment, so there was no need to question her decision.

However, when he heard her last question, he was struck at another loss.

Yue Ling was quick to read his thoughts. She decided to use this time as there was still ten minutes until their lunch break ended.

”Who is Ling Ni?”

Liu Shan's eye trembled at the name as he was not expecting this question from her. His brows ever so lightly scrunch together as he tries to recall if he ever mentioned the name. However, remembering their talk from last time, he heaves a sigh.

”She's no one important to me.”

He looks away to the window and stares out to the sky.

”I don't want to hear that name again.”

Yue Ling arch a brow at the man across from her. She knows that bringing up the name would hurt him, but she needed to know.

”I only asked because I saw someone I knew at the restaurant. Her name is also Ling Ni.”
