Duoduo’s analysis was shocking. “Sister Ling, are you secretly dating Mr. Pei?”
Perhaps because she was really shocked, Duoduo’s voice was so loud that Pei Nanxu and Lin Yan heard her.
Secretly dating?
Lin Yan glared at Duoduo in exasperation. “How many times must I tell you to stop using your horrible imagination? Mr. Pei and I are really relatives! Proper relatives! Okay?”
Duoduo pouted. “I believe you.”
It would be weird if she believed her.
Duoduo had said she believed her, but she could tell from her expression that she didn’t believe a word.
Pei Nanxu chuckled and shook his head. “I am indeed related to Lin Yan.”
When Pei Nanxu said that, Duoduo and Zhao Hongling were both surprised.
Pei Nanxu turned to Lin Yan. “Miss Lin, I shall take my leave.”
Lin Yan nodded. “Alright, alright. Go get busy!”
Pei Nanxu had just taken a step when he halted and turned around. “Oh yeah. If your work schedule is inconvenient, let me know. I’ll help you.”
“Sure, sure! Thank you, Mr. Pei.” Lin Yan bowed in gratitude.
The moment Pei Nanxu left, Duoduo approached her. “Sister Yan!”
Lin Yan cut across before Duoduo could speak. “Pei Nanxu has said so personally. Do you believe me now?”
Duoduo nodded and said earnestly, “I believe you! I believe that love is blind and ignorant. I didn’t expect that Mr. Pei would be willing to lie for you! Sister Yan, what kind of drug have you fed him?”
Lin Yan was so furious that she almost ripped the car apart. She inhaled deeply and replied, “I didn’t give Mr. Pei any bewitching drugs!”
She had merely given Mr. Pei a huge sum of money!
In Zhao Hongling’s office, Lin Yan explained her intentions. “It’s nothing serious. I just need to trouble you to adjust my workload a little, Sister Ling. I have some personal matters to settle.”
Zhao Hongling, who had never interfered with Lin Yan’s private life, asked out of concern, “Did something happen?”
She couldn’t be blamed for asking. Lin Yan was a workaholic who never delayed her work. She had even urged Zhao Hongling to get more jobs for her a few days ago.
If she hadn’t encountered any issues or problems, she wouldn’t have asked her to postpone her work.
Lin Yan coughed to clear her throat. “No, no, it’s my boyfriend. He’s been ill recently, so I want to take care of him.”
Lin Yan hadn’t lied to Zhao Hongling about getting a boyfriend. However, they had just met Pei Nanxu and Lin Yan. Now that they knew that Lin Yan was going to take care of her sick boyfriend, they couldn’t help but feel puzzled…
Duoduo blinked in confusion. “So Mr. Pei is ill! No wonder… He has been working hard recently. He also seems pale…”
Lin Yan was speechless…
She hadn’t even heard a single word of her explanation.
Lin Yan, who felt a headache coming on, replied, “I’m not taking care of Mr. Pei, alright?”
It was his brother! His brother!
She wanted to postpone her work because she wanted to pay attention to her boyfriend. He was not in good condition, so she wanted to take care of him.
Duoduo replied, “Alright, alright. You don’t have to explain. I understand.”
Lin Yan was speechless… What do you understand?
