CHAPTER 919: CHAPTER 726: LIKING YOU SINCE THE FIRST GLANCE 67_2

Zhao Linlin frowned, indifferent, "Isn’t it obvious? With such an outstanding person of the opposite sex around, it’s so easy to be attracted, isn’t it? Why should you find it strange? Besides, Mr. Bo is really charming, isn’t he?"

"Oh? Seems like you’ve been captivated?"

Zhao Linlin shivered as if energized, "Don’t talk nonsense, do I have the guts for that?"

"If you have the guts, would you dare?"

"Why do you have to pick on my words?" Zhao Linlin was speechless, "You’re not very good at hiding jealousy, Lin Ye. We’re talking about Jian Dan and Mr. Bo, why drag me into it?"

Lin Ye laughed, "Alright, alright, I won’t drag you into it. Did you tell your friend about Jian Dan and Mr. Bo?"

Zhao Linlin hesitated, lowering her eyes guiltily, "I didn’t do it on purpose, just slipped out, and then Weiwei, being so smart, guessed it. I got too excited and then..."

Lin Ye pinched her nose, "You, it’s a real hassle, and I’m at risk. Are you planning to remarry?"

"Is it that serious?" Zhao Linlin was full of concern, clutching his clothes tightly, "Lin Ye, did I do something wrong?"

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, "You worried I might get into trouble?"

Zhao Linlin, "Of course I’m worried, if you get into trouble, what will I do?"

Lin Ye laughed, "Silly, I was just teasing you, but it’s best to keep this secret for a while. Otherwise, things would be difficult for Jian Dan later. You should explain to Lai Wei, it’s Jian Dan’s wish, she doesn’t want Bo Qin to know about that night, not even a hint should be detected."

Zhao Linlin nodded, "Okay, I got it, don’t worry."

...

Meanwhile, Lai Wei, who had been troubled by this matter for a long time, had been absent-minded and in a daze during this half month, feeling anxious.

Hai En had noticed something off with her for a while and asked, but she didn’t say anything. Hai En wasn’t angry, understanding the matter was about her friend, and didn’t pry. He only comforted her when she was upset.

"You’ve been quite agitated lately, feeling down. Sometimes, when things are incomprehensible, just don’t dwell on them, okay? Stay calm, everything will work out one way or another."

Lai Wei wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his chest, "I feel so suffocated, I want to tell you, but I can’t."

After thinking for a moment, Hai En understood, "Is it about Jian Dan and Mr. Bo?"

Lai Wei’s muffled voice came from his chest, "Yeah."

Hai En ran his fingers through her hair, "Pfft, what’s so difficult about this?"

Lai Wei, "It just is difficult, you don’t know, Jian Dan and Mr. Bo slept together?"

Hai En responded with an "Oh", "Wasn’t that bound to happen sooner or later?"

Lai Wei propped herself up, "What do you mean, bound to happen? Why are you so sure?"

Hai En, "Not certainty, Mr. Bo looks at Jian Dan differently, like a man looks at a woman. Maybe he just hasn’t said it yet, but definitely will in the future. Liking Jian Dan isn’t something unspeakable. He’s older than Jian Dan, probably just thinks it’s not the right time to make it public, wants to wait for the girl to mature."

Lai Wei was taken aback and after a while, slowly said, "Really?"

Hai En frowned, nodding, "Not totally sure, but eighty percent."

Lai Wei: "...Men’s emotional focus is really strange."

Hai En was speechless: "..."

"Men’s emotional focus is strange?"

"How is it strange?"

Hai En, being smart, naturally avoided arguing with her over this, and changed the topic, "It’s okay, Jian Dan will be back soon. Whether it works out depends on Mr. Bo’s efforts."

Lai Wei, "With a family like the Bo’s, wouldn’t they really care about the future daughter-in-law’s background?"

Hai En laughed, "Can’t say they don’t care, just tell you that the Bo family is really different from other wealthy families. They’re known for their humanity in the circle."

Lai Wei, "Then I’m relieved."

...

Athens.

"Jian, why are you so distracted?" Dale, along with Jian Dan and several friends, were hanging out, all good friends who enjoyed eating, drinking, and having fun together. Jian Dan had gone out to take a call earlier and had been spaced out ever since.

Dale felt that Jian Dan had changed since coming back from Fengcheng.

The change was subtle, occasionally zoning out, but there’s a sense of oddness that can’t be explained.

Upon hearing this, Jian Dan shook her head, "No, my friend wants to come visit me, so I won’t be joining you guys for fun, I’ll head back soon."

Dale was surprised and nodded, "Oh, I see, then you should head back. We’ll gather next time."

"Thanks for understanding, everyone."
