“Of course. I always thought that you and Director Jiang were a couple, but in the end, I also saw that you two looked harmonious but were actually apart. You haven’t even taken the initiative to hold hands with him before. It’s purely his own wishful thinking,” Lan Xin said.
“Ah Xin, can you not be so sharp?!” Bai Ran was amused by Lan Xin.
The two of them returned to the company together. When they passed Jiang Yun’s office, Jiang Yun suddenly rushed out like an arrow.
“Ran Ran…” Jiang Yun stopped in his tracks.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t I already make things clear to you?” Bai Ran turned to look at Jiang Yun.
“Ran Ran, then you two chat first. I’ll go back first!” Lan Xin looked at the posture between the two of them and waved sensibly before turning to leave.
“Then go in first!” Bai Ran followed Jiang Yun into the office.
When she passed by the cubicle beside him, Bai Ran deliberately looked in and asked, “Isn’t Assistant Xiao Yang here?”
“No, she went out to get something,” Jiang Yun explained.
Perhaps it was because Bai Ran had first seen those photos, but she felt that Jiang Yun’s voice was a little weak at the mention of Xiao Yang.
Furthermore, she did not know if she was hallucinating, but she also felt that Jiang Yun seemed to be deliberately avoiding letting them see each other.
“Is that so?” Bai Ran glanced at Jiang Yun meaningfully. “What are you looking for me for?”
Jiang Yun swallowed at that glance, but he still straightened his body the next second and said, “Ran Ran, I saw Huo Tian announce that he has gotten a divorce. He even said that he wants to start officially pursuing you.”
“So you rejected me. Are you planning to choose between him and Chen Chen?” Jiang Yun asked immediately.
“That’s not what I mean. Whatever happened between you and me, it had nothing to do with any of them. I asked you for help before and I considered you because I was indebted to you. I’ll apologize to you here. As for the rest, let’s just forget it!” Bai Ran’s expression was serious. She could not be swayed with just a few words.
“Am I really that inferior to them? Although I might not be as wealthy as them, I can guarantee that I can devote my life to you, protect you, and treat you well.”
“Look at Chen Chen. Up until now, his heart is still with another woman, and Huo Tian, a man of his status definitely won’t have only one woman in his life, so look at me. Can’t I be your man? Or are you really as the news says, a gold digger?” Jiang Yun’s voice became more and more anxious as he spoke. In the end, he even began to speak without thinking.
He had no choice. He was really anxious this time.
In the past, he could have approached Bai Ran with a fake title to achieve his goal of getting close to her first. But now, what happened first was that Bai Ran had canceled this title on him, and then Huo Tian pursued her so openly. Furthermore, Chen Chen and she had a real status. If he continued to dillydally, he could only watch helplessly as Bai Ran fell into someone else’s arms in the end.
“Jiang Yun, please mind your words.” Bai Ran’s expression changed slightly. “Also, don’t say things like you’ll devote your entire life to me. It’s very fake.”
“Do you think I can’t do it? How do you want me to prove it?” Jiang Yun stepped forward and asked indignantly.
“Do you need to prove it? Don’t you know what you’ve done?” Bai Ran tilted her head and smiled with a hint of mockery.
“What have I done?” Jiang Yun subconsciously glanced at the cubicle where Xiao Yang was working.
“Those photos are still lying in my house’s trash can!” Bai Ran said.
“Photos? What photos?” Jiang Yun’s expression changed completely.
“Don’t you know? How can I believe that a person who claims to like me but sleeps with another woman behind my back will devote his entire life to me?” The mockery in Bai Ran’s tone was even greater.
“Uh… Why are there photos…” Jiang Yun’s face instantly turned pale.. He collapsed into his office chair and his arms hung weakly by his sides.
