CHAPTER 03 Do Grown Women Need Love?

Xu Yanlin saw that she was not speaking and asked, "Is that girl okay? Is she still under the protection of Jiang Xuejie now?"

Let's go out for dinner with Jiang Fei tonight, Ning Ning!

Suddenly remembered that bright and charming bouquet of pink roses. She quickly dismissed her wandering thoughts and walked up, smiling, saying, "Mr. Xu, the rose... was it from you? Thank you, it's very beautiful."

Let the dignified general manager of the media company be a driver, it doesn't sound very good...

Jiang Fei is very strange. Xu Yanlin has his own assistant, who is quite beautiful. In the past, it seems that the assistant helped make coffee. Why would he waste his precious time these days and personally come to the pantry?

The chopsticks mentioned were thrown down again.

Stole the boyfriend from her sisters, and even played matchmaker for them. It would be embarrassing enough if only Yuan Zhiyu knew about this kind of embarrassing incident. If the whole company knew, it would be even more embarrassing than stealing Yuan Zhiyu from Zhen Ruru as a third party.

However, this person has quite good taste; more importantly, Miss Jiang has not received any flowers for a long time. Even if she guesses Xu Yanlin's intention, she will adhere to the principle of making the most of everything and will definitely not be willing to throw away the flowers.

Jiang Fei's eyes were slightly warm, but she just laughed and said, "It all depends on your attitude! If you dare to show the slightest disrespect to our Ning Ning, watch how I deal with you!"

It turned out to be Xu Yanlin, wearing a decent casual shirt, holding a file packet, leaning against the brand new shiny silver Mercedes-Benz, and watching her every move with wide open eyes.

He mentioned a number, causing Jiang Fei's eyelids to twitch. She quickly calculated it to be a multiple of her own annual salary and sighed helplessly, "Well, with Mr. Xu's status, he should be driving a car like this."

Street snacks cost four yuan for a small bowl and six yuan for a large bowl. This is Jiang Fei's reward for being a cheap laborer for these days. He is sure that he is really a fool, and he has lost money without any return.

Jiang Fei felt a little dry and noisy in the mouth, and unconsciously took it over, picked it up and took a sip, only to feel that he seemed to have behaved too weakly, so he threw away the teacup and pushed the door open and walked out.

As the girl's figure had not yet disappeared, Jiang Fei was already covered in goosebumps from the cringe.

When it was delivered to the downstairs of Jiang Fei's house, Xu Yanlin looked up at the semi-new and old residential building and asked, "Which floor?"

After observing for a few days, Xiao Qin did not find any new gossip news about Jiang Fei and Yuan Zhiyu, so she couldn't help but ask, "Fei'er, did you have a quarrel with Manager Yuan?"

Presumably, at this moment, Lin Ming and Shui Ningyan are sitting around the dining table, enjoying the delicious dinner that Shui Ningyan cooked with joy.

She should have just come out of the office of the new general manager, and it seems that the young Mr. Xu didn't pay attention to her brand new dress and exquisite makeup.

Lin Ming chuckled lightly, "I am very content. Just because of Miss Jiang's kindness, I dare not have the slightest bit of disappointment towards her!"

She finished speaking and felt a little regretful.

Jiang Fei seriously doubts where Lin Ming's high intelligence has been used, "Hey, Lin Ming, are you a fool? Xu always has liked Ning Ning since college, and he's trying to meet him through me. Don't you understand?"

Jiang Fei suddenly encountered a kindred spirit, but was somewhat surprised: "Mr. Xu, don't you believe those rumors?"

Lin Ming's gentle and faint smile flashed through her mind, and Jiang Fei's heart twisted as she put down her chopsticks.

Did we not always stay together in college? Haven't we been in a relationship? Don't you know?

Remembering her great feat of reconciling her boyfriend and her best friend, Jiang Fei forced a sad smile and tried to savor the bitter and strong aroma of the coffee.

Under the scorching sun, the streets outside are bustling with traffic, bustling with people, and filled with noise and chaos, making Jiang Fei even more grateful for her wisdom.

Oh! Auntie Yao waved her fan and pointed out, "His car... seems to be even more advanced than Mr. Lin's before... Is this person very wealthy? As long as you're not married, if he's willing to send you home, there must be a chance! Seize the opportunity, girl! Nowadays, it's better to marry well than to do well!"

Do you still want to scheme?

Returning from overseas with new knowledge, being gentle and courteous with good family education, and having a handsome and upright demeanor.

In the old streets of Nanjing, the tall plane trees unique to the city block the sunlight. The passing shadows cast a somewhat dim light on Xu Yanlin's face, giving Jiang Fei a kind of illusion, making her feel that he seems to blush slightly, and even the glance he cast towards her is particularly gentle.

One can eat a little more in front of such a man, which is beneficial for nutrient absorption.

Mercedes made a turn and silently drove out of the underground garage.

The waiter served the tea. Jiang Fei handed the menu to Xu Yanlin and said with a smile, "I'll be back in a moment. I just made a phone call. We came out at about the same time, so let's order first."

The car is driving steadily in the traffic. Xu Yanlin's slender fingers elegantly hold the steering wheel, his gaze fixed ahead, and his voice calm: "Well, rumors stop with the wise, and we shouldn't believe such rumors."

Got it, got it. Don't fake it with me, damn it!Jiang Fei sat cross-legged on the sofa, wiping her wet hair and laughing while cursing, "If you really want to invite me to dinner, do you care if I work overtime or not? A verbal greeting is enough for me to acknowledge your kindness! I'm not that clueless. You guys are still in the honeymoon phase, why should I join in the fun?"

It is unfair to associate her with that promiscuous and unfaithful scoundrel.

After fiddling with it for ten minutes, she finally had to give up, grabbed her bag and jumped off the car. She kicked the car door hard and slammed it shut with a bang. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and shook her head, ready to walk out. Suddenly, her eyes met a pair of curious and inquisitive eyes not far away.

The cooling effect of the car is very good. Jiang Fei leaned against the soft seat, comfortably exhaled, and even the restless mood gradually calmed down.

It's good that you like it. Xu Yanlin's lips twitched, looking at him with a visible smile in his eyes. He was about to say something, but then some employees walked in one after another, making tea or coffee to refresh themselves and prepare for the busy afternoon work.

Jiang Fei snorted and felt it necessary to explain.

On the afternoon of the second day, Jiang Fei went to the pantry as usual to make a cup of coffee to refresh herself. It was quite a coincidence that she ran into Xu Yanlin there.

My mother wants to eat an apple. He is peeling the apple and talking to my mother. Shui Ningyan became alert and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Xu Yanlin glanced at the menu, then pushed it back. "I just returned to the country not long ago, and I am not familiar with local restaurants in Nanjing. Look at what you like to eat and order it!"

Okay.

He is the son of our boss and currently the general manager of our company.

Jiang Fei smiled mysteriously and said, "Lin Ming, do you mind if I take Ning Ning out to meet someone tonight?"

However, with Jiang Fei's identity, is it destined to only drive that old, temperamental Peugeot?

Before... 许彦霖 felt a little melancholy, "Was it during college? I remember there always seemed to be boys chasing after you, and not even your brick could scare them away."

Lin Ming smiled and agreed, asked for the time and location, hung up neatly, and dialed his girlfriend's phone.

Yuan Zhiyu sighed deeply and said, "Let's just consider it as a favor, shall we? My only steady girlfriend has left me, and this long night is so boring. I can only settle the score with you. How about treating me to a meal tomorrow?"

This... The other end, Shui Ningyan turned off the gas stove and thought carefully, "Is it from Sichuan? I remember there was a Sichuan boy with the surname Xu."

Shui Ning Yan has a gentle and kind personality. She explained with a smile, "My mother just had surgery and there are many foods she can't eat. She's feeling better now and Lin Ming just came back from a business trip. I hurriedly went out to buy some groceries. I didn't know if you were working overtime or had a date with your significant other, so I didn't call you."

There, a female administrative staff member from the company, known for her outstanding appearance, stepped out gracefully but with her head down, her face slightly blushing, and her expression not happy.

After finishing tidying up, she called Shui Ningyan.

In the midst of such liveliness, Jiang Fei instead felt empty, with a sense of aimlessness filling her heart and eyes, even lacking the interest to open the delivered takeout.

With a hairdryer blowing, making a constant roaring sound, entertainment programs on TV bursting with laughter one after another, even the electric kettle boiling water is bubbling, this house is actually quite lively.

Oh... Shui Ningyan... Xu Yanlin dragged out the ending sound, seeming a bit melancholic. As expected, he continued in the tone of Jiang Fei, saying, "Alright, alright!"

How can Jiang Fei, who has always been able to let go, still be lamenting over this love that has become a thing of the past, when he misses her?

Xu Yanlin smiled and glanced at her, then slowly started the car.

The chrysanthemum in the cup has already bloomed, leisurely floating in the slowly rising steam.

I have many things that I am not sure about. I don't even know when you captured Lin Ming's heart. Who knows which people you have approached when I wasn't paying attention!

Looks good, handsome, and taller than you.

And she, Jiang Fei, is an independent woman who doesn't need anyone to take care of her.

Is this person in front of her one of the many pursuers who were scared away by the brick she gave him back then?

Lin Ming is also doubting who the fool is.

In Jiang Fei's social circle, it seems that there is only one handsome guy who can afford a Mercedes-Benz.

After straightening the slightly wrinkled collar of her shirt, she greeted Xu Yanlin, "Mr. Xu, are you off work as well?"

Miss Jiang? She was sent by Mr. Xu. The young girl who delivered the flowers had a charming smile, and her eyes revealed undisguised admiration.

Compared to the old story of smashing a male student's head with a brick in college, and casually playing Taekwondo, this kind of ugliness shouldn't count for much, right?

11th floor. Jiang Fei replied with some pride, "It's a three-bedroom apartment, and it's my own place."

Yesterday, Shui Ningyan hung up the phone and honestly confessed her unexpected stroke of luck. Lin Mingqing, aware of Shui Ningyan's bizarre past, interrogated her in her own way for a long time, confirming that she indeed had no impression of Mr. Xu, and then puzzled over the true intention behind the bouquet of pink roses.

Jiang Fei raised her eyebrows and found a secluded corner to call Lin Ming.

The sound of Shui Ning Yan is very lively, even the clanging sound of the spatula stir-frying vegetables on the other end of the phone is as lively as dancing.

Jiang Fei snorted and did not answer.

Heartbreak, oh heartbreak, she still hasn't been able to completely overcome the shadow of heartbreak!

As for what rumors will spread in the company about this minor disturbance, he can't be bothered to pay attention.

I don't have his photo. Forget it. I'll give you a chance to meet him in person. He looks pretty good, not worse than your friend Lin Ming.

When she turned and rushed into the corridor, she suddenly remembered that in fact, Xu Yanlin and Lin Ming were quite similar.

Yes, a very handsome gentleman, with a very attractive smile, driving a Mercedes!

Yuan Zhiyu's lips curled slightly, and the healthy lip color outlined his smile very clearly. He whispered, "At worst, I'll tell Xiaoyan another day, just say we were together for a while and then broke up, okay?"

A dazzling Mercedes-Benz drove out of the residential area, while Jiang Fei stood in the distance, silently gazing, feeling somewhat self-pitying.

However, considering Xu Yanlin's family background, I'm afraid he may not pay much attention to this inconspicuous second-hand house, right?

Did Jiang Xuejie not sleep well last night? Her eye circles seem a bit dark.

Thought it was a delivery, but when I opened the door, it was a big bunch of bright and beautiful pink roses. Even through the security door, I could smell the sweet fragrance, which was refreshing to the heart and soul.

However, this is the peak hour for getting off work. The bus is definitely packed like sardines in a can. The weather is hot, and it's really uncomfortable. Just thinking about it makes sweat break out on my back...
