Chapter 867 - Shouldn’t Be Selfish (2/2)

Jianan looks away from Qi Li's computer screen to Yue Ling. His big round eyes blinked for a few seconds before smiling with a nod.

”Okay.”

Seeing his smiling face, Yue Ling felt her heart tighten. She hadn't even told him where they were going, yet he didn't hesitate to go with her.

Not wanting to hide anything from him, she told the truth.

”We'll be going to the hospital for a check-up. Do you still want to go?”

Jianan stiffened at the word 'hospital! He bites down on his lower lip with a look of hesitation.

He was scared of hospitals, especially doctors. Also, he has an ugly scar on his back. What if Yue Ling finds him hideous and a troublemaker?

Yue Ling could see the fear in his eyes. She raised her hand and gently patted him on the head.

”If you don't want to go, we don't have to go.”

She had already set an appointment with Doctor Dong, but she will not force him if Jianan is afraid and says he doesn't want to go.

Jianan glance at Yue Ling, then lowers his head to look at his hand on his lap.

”If Miss Angel is there with me, I won't be as scared.”

He had been scared of hospitals since he could remember. It was because the doctors and nurses never took him and his older sibling seriously.

However, this time is different.

If Yue Ling were to go with him, he would feel safe like how he feels now. Not only that, he believes and trusts that Yue Ling will not let anything happen to him or hate him.

Oblivious to his thoughts, Yue Ling smiles at him. She rubs his head but not with enough strength to mess up his hair.

”I'll be there with you every step of the way.”

Her words were like a beacon of hope for Jianan, making him smile a laugh. However, when she saw his smile time, she felt an unexplainable sharp pain in her chest.

She swallows her saliva as if to push back this feeling wanting to escape from her.

”I'll come to get you when it's time to go.”

She stood up and decided to return to her office. She had spent enough time in the design office.

”Miss Han.”

Just as she was about to exit the room, she came across Liu Ye, Tang Zhonghui, and Shan Sinan.

She looks at Liu Ye, who had greeted her, and smiles at him.

”I see my subordinates are making you work hard.”

Her teasing made Liu Ye blush. He pressed his lips together but was unable to hide his smile.

”I'm just glad to be of help here.”

Yue Ling notices the roll of fabric in his arms. Her eyes grew solemn, and she raised her hand to touch it. However, she stops herself midway.

She looks at Tang Zhonghui and Shan Sinan.

”I've gone over the preparations and instructed Liu Shan to inform Cloth Co. on the designs. Once their side is ready, you two will go and assist the project.”

Shan Sinan nods his head and walks to his desk. Unlike him, Tang Zhonghui pouted his lips with a slight frown.

”You're really going to proceed with the designs for children?”

Yue Ling looks at her subordinate then down at the fabric roll in Liu Ye's hands. She showed no emotion on her face and walked away after answering.

”A designer shouldn't be selfish.”

As she disappeared out of the room, the whole design team stared at the spot she was standing. Each person held the same expression of guilt mixed with sadness.

De L'amour was a brand made for adults in the fashion world. However, when Yue Ling learned about her pregnancy, she started sketching designs for children.

She had made each design with the thoughts of her and Lu Tian's unborn child. However, life decided to play it cruelly for her.

With her baby gone, everyone thought she would call off the project. However, her words just now were her confirmation to continue the project.

She is a fashion designer. She cannot be selfish and think only about her own personal feelings.

However, despite her way of thinking, her subordinates wish for her to be a little more selfish.

Even if she stops the preparations of her designs, the world will understand.

If the world doesn't understand, she still has them (her subordinates) and everyone who deeply cares about her.

However, since this is her decision, everyone knows she will not change her mind.

As her subordinates, they will firmly stand by her side and support her as she has supported them.

They will make sure that this project is fulfilled without any complications.
