"He had always said that he wanted more than just Shen Qinglan herself, more importantly, he wanted her heart. He had the patience to wait for the day she would willingly give it to him.
The next day, Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan returned to the courtyard, spending the entire day at home with Old Sir Fu, and of course, Old Sir Shen, also staying overnight in the courtyard.
On the third day, Fu Hengyi rushed back to the base right after lunch, only mentioning he would return at the end of the month without saying anything else.
In the afternoon, with nothing to do, Shen Qinglan finally remembered Shen Junyu, who she had neglected. She went back to her apartment to deliver the gift she had bought for Shen Junyu.
Arriving downstairs at Junlan Group, Shen Qinglan was about to enter when she was stopped by the receptionist.
’Who are you looking for?’
The smile on the receptionist’s face paused, surprised that she was there to see the president, ’Do you have an appointment?’
Shen Qinglan shook her head. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to visit Shen Junyu, so there was no appointment.
’Sorry, Miss, you can’t go up without an appointment with the president. Would you like to register first?’ the receptionist politely suggested.
’No need, I’ll just wait here.’ Shen Qinglan gestured to a nearby sofa as she replied, not making things difficult for the receptionist.
The receptionist smiled, ’Please.’
As she noticed the gift bag in Shen Qinglan’s hand, the receptionist guessed that she was probably another admirer of the president trying to show her affection. This girl was prettier and more elegant than the women who had come before, though she seemed a bit cold. Could it be this was the president’s type?
Shen Qinglan sat on the sofa and took out her phone to call Shen Junyu.
’Brother, I’m downstairs at your company, but they stopped me. Can you send someone down to get the stuff?’
Shen Junyu was in a meeting when he received his sister’s call. Surprised, he raised an eyebrow. Hearing that she was downstairs, he immediately left the meeting room, leaving a group of company executives exchanging glances and guessing who had called their boss.
’Why didn’t you say you were coming? I could have come down to wait for you.’ Shen Junyu hurried out of his private elevator, spotting her sitting on the sofa at a glance.
Shen Qinglan handed him the bag in her hand, ’I just thought of it last minute and brought this over for you.’
Shen Junyu didn’t take the bag; instead, he looked at her with a face full of grievances, ’Finally remembered me? I thought you’d forgotten me entirely, you heartless little girl.’
Shen Qinglan’s expression remained unchanged as she lifted the bag, ’If you don’t want it, I’ll give it to someone else.’
Shen Junyu snatched the bag into his arms, ’Don’t even think about it, it’s mine.’
’Since I’ve delivered the gift, I’ll head back now.’
’Don’t go.’ Shen Junyu grabbed her, ’This is your first time at the company, you should at least go up and have a look around.’
Shen Qinglan didn’t have any plans for the afternoon, so she didn’t object to Shen Junyu’s suggestion and followed him into the private elevator.
The receptionist had been wide-eyed ever since she saw Shen Junyu come down and only returned to normal once she saw their figures disappear into the elevator.
It turns out this young lady was truly the president’s beloved. No wonder she could call him by his name. The president must really love and care for her; otherwise, why would he come down personally? She had never seen the president treat anyone so well before.
Thus, within a day, rumors spread throughout Junlan Group that the president had a mysterious girlfriend and was very fond of her.
Meanwhile, the two people upstairs remained completely unaware.
’Lanlan, you can rest in the office for now. I’ll go finish my meeting; it won’t take long.’
Shen Junyu said this, only leaving after seeing Shen Qinglan nod in agreement, returning to the meeting room.
Not long after, Secretary Xiao Liu brought in a cup of green tea, knowing that Shen Qinglan preferred tea over coffee.
’Thank you.’ Shen Qinglan thanked her politely.
Shen Qinglan glanced around Shen Junyu’s office. The black-and-white-themed decor differed somewhat from his usual style. In the office corner stood several pots of green plants, and there was a large bookshelf against the wall.
Scanning the books on the shelf, Shen Qinglan casually picked one and sat on the sofa, flipping through it.
Shen Junyu hadn’t taken long to finish the meeting. When he came in, he was followed by his assistant, Yu Bin, who also saw Shen Qinglan.
Yu Bin knew Shen Qinglan, so he wasn’t surprised by the president’s abrupt departure during the meeting. He had long known that their president was quite protective of his younger sister.
’Miss Shen, good to see you.’
’Assistant Yu, long time no see. There’s also a gift for you in that bag, remember to get it from my brother.’
Yu Bin was both surprised and flattered, ’For me too?’
Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, ’You’ve helped me out so many times before, consider it a thank-you gift.’"
