Cheng Yuelin saw Qian Fan’s bootlicking started and as though nothing had happened, he looked past him and said, “I don’t need your help.”

There were things that could not be rushed, and time needed to be taken.

After speaking he casually pointed at the bag in Qian Fan’s hands. “What is that?”

“Oh, I just ran into sister-in-law in the elevator. Since she knows that you are exploiting me, she gave me some desserts.”

“Oh? She gave it?”

Cheng Yuelin imperceptibly frowned and glanced at the bag a few more times.

“Yes, Sister-in-law came to have a meeting with Zhong Yi’s team. Everyone on his team got some.” Qian Fan did not pay attention to Cheng Yuelin’s expression and started eating the desserts. “I didn’t say it, but sister-in-law is so nice.”

During high school, Qian Fan thought that Ruan Zhiyin was mild mannered and very nice, she also had good grades. She would also smile at everyone. Even if she did not get along with Brother Lin, she still tutored him seriously.

Her personality was great, she was truly worthy of being a white moonlight!

It was all Brother Lin’s fault for having a terrible personality and his words were terrible too.

He deserves to have an unrequited crush for so long!

But when he thought about this, Qian Fan also felt bad for Cheng Yuelin. They had been good friends for more than 20 years, no matter what he could not actually hate Cheng Yuelin that much.

He lifted his head and looked at the person sitting behind the desk. He finally met Cheng Yuelin’s gaze that was clearly hiding his emotions. After a moment, he realized something was off and the hand that was being used to eat desserts froze. “Wait, Brother Lin, you don’t have any? How about… I give you mine?”

Glancing at the cake that he had already taken two bites out of, Cheng Yuelin scoffed. “I need yours?”

His attitude was no longer the same as before.

Qian Fan hurriedly smiled and said, “Of course, the stuff you eat is personally made by sister-in-law. How can it be compared to this?”

After speaking, he pointed at the jar of lemon pear syrup that was placed front and center on his desk. “Look, you are the only one with the lemon pear syrup. Even if we wanted it, we cannot have it.”

Cheng Yuelin stopped looking at the desserts and he let out a light hmm and made himself another cup of tea with the syrup and did not say anything more.

But the light frown in his brows had not yet dissipated. He still had a bit of a feeling of being forgotten.

The next moment, there was a knock at the door. After Bai Bo announced himself, he brought in a bag. “Boss, this is the dessert that Madam ordered for you. It was delivered to me.”

Qian Fan was relieved to see this.

Cheng Yuelin raised an eyebrow and put down his mug. He smiled and tapped his fingers on his desk. “Okay. I know. Put it here.”

When he saw Cheng Yuelin take out multiple cakes out of the insulated bag and then individually take photos of each item, the cake in Qian Fan’s hands did not smell as fragrant anymore.

When he opened his phone, he saw a new post pop out from his friend’s circle.

[Desserts. Delicious.]

Wow, he even made a caption for it. What do you mean delicious? You clearly haven’t eaten it yet.

When Cheng Yuelin noticed Qian Fan’s gaze, Cheng Yuelin slowly smiled and asked, “What, want some?”

Qian Fan felt a bit tempted and asked, “I can… eat it?”

The man smiled and slowly said, “Yes, exchange your vacation for it.”

Qian Fan: “…”

Dang, he really should not have had any expectations!

On the other hand, Ruan Zhiyin had just arrived back at the company and had just received the notification of the successful delivery of the desserts. Then she also saw Cheng Yuelin’s post.

Thinking of the way the man would hold his phone and take pictures, she couldn’t help but laugh and gave him a like.

After doing this, she opened up her messages with him and sent Cheng Yuelin a message.

[You should be nicer to Qian Fan in the future. Don’t bring your temper into the office.]

Ruan Zhiyin guessed that in order for Qian Fan to be so sad and upset, he must have lost his temper. She should at least try to say a few things so that he would not made other people to hate him due to his terrible temper.

After she sent her message, she saw [Typing]. After a while, she finally received a message notification.

[Alright, understood.]

Ruan Zhiyin silently looked at the message and then thought back about the man’s words from this morning.

“Ruan Yingying, if you can’t figure it out then… slowly think about it.”

Could it be that he was taking a long time to figure out how to reply to her message?

As she sat in a daze, her phone suddenly rang.

Ruan Zhiyin glanced at the number on the screen. It was a foreign number. Thinking it was just a scam call, she did not pick up. But after a while, they called again.

Ruan Zhiyin frowned and answered the phone. “Hello.”

From the speaker, a gentle middle aged woman’s voice came through. “Hello, is this Miss Ruan?”

Ruan Zhiyin replied, “You are?”

The person paused before introducing themselves. “I am Cheng Yuelin’s Aunt.”

Ruan Zhiyin was surprised. She knew that Cheng Yuelin had an aunt who had immigrated to another country a long time ago and never came back, but she never expected that they would try to contact her.

“I’m sorry to have called you, but Yingying, can you help me?” The other person’s attitude was quite polite.

Ruan Zhiyin glanced down. “Can you explain first?”

“I heard that Zhao Bing was arrested, can you help me find out how Cheng Lang is doing?” Cheng Hui sighed. “You should know about Ah Lin’s temper, he probably does not care about this brother of his, but I think… Zhao Bing might look for you.”
