"It's nothing. It's just that when I hear you speak like this, I always have an illusion of a child imitating an adult. Xiao He, you have such a cute appearance, so you should smile more. How boring it is if you keep showing a straight face like now?'
When Su He heard Zhao Youlin's words, she was very cooperative and showed the same smile which she showed when they met during their first meeting. She said softly, "Let me remind you, General Manager. I'm twenty-one years old today, which is the same age as you. I'm not young anymore, so I don't need to imitate the way an adult speaks. This is because I'm an adult. Thank you."
Zhao Youlin was speechless. How could she have been deceived by this little girl's silly and cute appearance in the past? She did not find out that underneath this little girl's harmless appearance was an experienced and cunning personality.
Sometimes, when Zhao Youlin looked at Su He's deceptive face, she could not help but think that this girl was a person who resurrected with a second life, just like herself..
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Has Li encountered anything good recently? Not only has she gotten fat, but her complexion also got better. No matter how I look at her, she seems like…"
"Is she in love?" Before Zhao Youlin finished speaking, she was interrupted by Su He. The corners of her lips slowly curled up. She smirked wickedly and said jokingly, "If you really want to talk about this, sure, but I don't think you're qualified to tease her, General Manager."
Zhao Youlin fell speechless. When she looked at Su He's teasing gaze, she suddenly remembered the words Mu Tingfeng had said to her in the car that day.
The smile on her face suddenly stiffened. She changed the topic awkwardly and said, "Ahem, all right, let's not talk about this. We're now talking about the reason why Li suddenly became fat. Don't change the topic."
After Su He heard Zhao Youlin's words, she rolled her eyes at her helplessly. She thought to herself. 'Who was the one who changed the topic just now?'
"If this is the question, it can actually be overlapped with the question just now. This is because the answers for both questions are obviously the same."
"The answers are the same?"
When Zhao Youlin was puzzled, she suddenly heard a melodious ringtone behind her. Su He's expression also changed significantly at this time. She pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and muttered, "Look, here it is."
"What? What is here?" Zhao Youlin looked in the direction that Su He was looking at, and she happened to see Li pick up her phone to answer a call.
"Yeah. Are you already downstairs? I'll go down and get it now."
Zhao Youlin looked at the smile on Li's face. It was full of happiness. She raised her eyebrows and walked to Li's side with a faint smile. Before she hung up, Zhao Youlin patted Li's shoulder and said, "You're going downstairs to get what? Your lunch? Since he is already downstairs, why not ask him to send it here directly? It's troublesome to get it on your own."
"M-General Manager." Li was surprised by Zhao Youlin's sudden appearance. Even her voice was trembling.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" The person on the other end of the phone yelled anxiously when he heard the noises; he thought that something happened to Li.
Zhao Youlin heard the voice of the person on the other end of the phone this time. It was the voice of a man.
She raised her eyebrows. Zhao Youlin, who already had her own plan, smiled and signaled Li.
Li was speechless.
The corners of Li's mouth twitched when she saw Zhao Youlin's eyes. They were full of curiosity. She took a deep breath and said to the man on the other end of the phone, "Are you free now? If you're free, send it upstairs. I'm on the forty-sixth floor. You can see me right after you get out of the elevator."
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. He seemed to have discovered something, and he replied with a smile, "I'm free now. I'm very free now, so I'll go upstairs."
"Oh, okay. I'll inform the security guard at the entrance now."
As soon as Li hung up and turned around to look, she saw Zhao Youlin and Su He's teasing gazes. She was embarrassed. 'I'm just going to eat something. Why are these two people looking at me with such strange gazes?'
The corners of Zhao Youlin's lips curled up slightly. She felt that the voice just now seemed a little familiar, but this strangeness had long been overwhelmed by curiosity, which was something rare for her. She did not think deeply about where she had heard this voice before.
After that, while Li was confused and Zhao Youlin as well as Su He watched excitedly, the elevator on the forty-sixth floor finally opened with a ding. An acquaintance walked out of it.
"Why is it you?" Zhao Youlin's eyes suddenly narrowed. She pointed at the man who came out of the elevator, and her face was full of surprise.
"General Manager, do you know him?" Su He was taken aback. She glanced at the man who walked out of the elevator, then at Zhao Youlin. She was a little surprised as well.
"Uh, it's nothing. I only met him once in the past." Zhao Youlin glanced at the man who was walking toward them with a silly smile. When she thought that this person might be dating Li now, she sensibly chose to hide the information she had.
Su He listened to Zhao Youlin's explanation, and her eyes became slightly darker. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of understanding appeared in her eyes.
"General Manager, we met again." The corners of Ling Ran's mouth curled up slightly. He showed a smile that he thought was bright, but in fact, it was a smile that made the girls think that he was absolutely silly. He greeted Zhao Youlin kindly.
The smile on Zhao Youlin's face stiffened. "Yeah, it's such a coincidence that we met again. Mr. Ling, you are…"
"Oh, I came up to give Li her lunch." Ling Ran raised the lunch box he was holding, and when he said those words, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh, so, you came up to give Li her lunch," Zhao Youlin and Su He spoke at the same time. The teasing jab in the words could not be more obvious.
Unfortunately, a certain foodie who was born insensitive to this kind of thing did not realize the hint between the conversation held by Zhao Youlin and Ling Ran. She stared at Ling Ran's lunch box with a pair of sparkling eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. Ran Ran has been sending me food recently. There are all kinds of delicious foods, and many of them are foods which I have never eaten before. They are extremely Delicious, with a capital D!" Li clenched her fists, and she constantly emphasized the delicious taste of the food that Ling Ran had brought. The light that burst out of her eyes almost blinded the people beside her.
Li swallowed hard at the lunch box. It was exuding an alluring aroma. She raised her head and looked at Ling Ran pitifully. Then, she asked, "Ran Ran, what good food did you bring me today?"
When he saw how Li behaved, Ling Ran only felt that his heart had been accidentally shot by another cupid's arrow again. He nodded hurriedly and said, "I brought you a lot of delicious food today, including your favorite shrimp balls, grilled potatoes, and fried chicken drumsticks. As for the soup, I brought pork rib soup with lotus seeds. Didn't you say that you wanted to eat the mousse cake from the cake shop on East Street yesterday? I asked someone to buy one for me, and I'll bring it to you later."
