She quickly thanked her. “Thank you, Secretary Lin, for putting in a good word for me and recommending me to the Planning Department. Are you free after work? Please let me treat you to a meal.”
“There’s no need. We’re colleagues. I’m working by Jiang Yu’s side, so it didn’t take much effort at all. I have to go to Jiang Yu’s house for dinner tonight. Auntie called and said that she would cook my favourite dishes.”
Lin Wan deliberately addressed Jiang Yu affectionately and brought up Jiang Yu’s mother. She wanted Ye Xue to misconstrue her relationship with Jiang Yu and misunderstand.
Ye Xue had never been to Jiang Yu’s house or met Jiang Yu’s mother. When Ye Xue heard Lin Wan’s words, she felt rather uncomfortable.
Pursing her lips, she said, “Jiang Yu is a good person. I’m sure his mother must also be a gentle, generous, elegant, and dignified lady.”
“Indeed, she is. Auntie is an extraordinarily pleasant lady. She often invites me over for dinner. She said that I need not be so reserved once I marry into the Jiang family.” Lin Wan’s smile carried with it a faintly embarrassed tinge.
… M-marry into the Jiang Family?
‘The Jiang family only had one son, and that was Jiang Yu. Was Lin Wan going to marry Jiang Yu?
She suddenly remembered that the person who applied for the job was the president’s secretary, but in the end, she was a handyman.
So it was because Jiang Yu’s girlfriend was coming.
Then why did he kiss her?
He already had a girlfriend, yet he still kissed her.
Ye Xue tried her best not to think too much about it and pretended not to care. She said, “Since Secretary Lin is not free tonight, I’ll treat you to dinner some other day.”
“We’ll talk about it then. Before I forget, please make a cup of coffee. Jiang Yu will want it later. He likes his coffee in the morning.”
Lin Wan noticed Ye Xue’s reaction. She hid her smile as she left the breakroom.
Even after Lin Wan left, Ye Xue’s mind was still stuck on Jiang Yu’s kiss. She could not understand why he would kiss her when he already had a girlfriend.
Lin Wan was his girlfriend.
Ye Xue added sugar to Jiang Yu’s coffee in her troubled state of mind as she walked out of the breakroom.
Lin Wan was at the front desk, holding a handbag in her hand. Inside was Jiang Yu’s suit jacket.
Lin Wan smiled broadly upon seeing Ye Xue. In her hands was Ye Xue’s handbag. “Jiang Yu asked me to inform you that he would like his suit jacket back. He wanted me to bring it to him. I was so busy that I forgot to let you know. Thankfully, you brought it with you. I’l take the coffee off your hands since
I’m bringing his suit jacket to him.”
‘As Lin Wan spoke, she relieved Ye Xue of the cup of coffee in her hands, the smiles on her lips never leaving her face.
Upon hearing Lin Wan’s words, Ye Xue was almost certain that Lin Wan was Jiang Yu’s girlfriend. Only Jiang Yu’s girlfriend would share such an intimate relationship with him.
Lin Wan carried the coffee into the president’s office. At his desk, Jiang Yu was staring at a photo in his hands.
Curious, Lin Wan wandered to his, placing his coffee by Jiang Yu’s right hand. “President Yu, Ye Xue asked me to give this to you. She said, she said…” Lin Wan handed Jiang Yu Ye Xue’s handbag, her lips curled into a smile.
‘As she spoke, Lin Wan snuck a glance at the photo in Jiang Yu’s hand. The group photo contained both Jiang Yu and Ye Xue.
Jiang Yu’s handsome face hinted at youthful innocence. One look, and anyone could tell that it was a photo from a few years ago.
‘As for Ye Xue, she had long hair and a bit of baby fat on her face. The photo showed Jiang Yu hugging her tightly, bundling her up in his coat. Only her head was exposed, smiling sweetly at the camera.
Ared scarf connected the two of them. It drew the two close to each other, Jiang Yu’s chin pressing against Ye Xue’s hair.
Acold voice shook her out of her prying reverie, frightening her. “Don’t you know you have to knock before entering?”
“My apologies, President Yu. I was holding a cup of coffee in one hand and the handbag in the other. I didn’t have any hands to knock on the door,” Lin Wan hurriedly explained in fear.
“Get out.” Jiang Yu ordered, sounding more than a little impatient.

“Yes, President Yu.” Lin Wan put the handbag on the desk and scurried out the door.
Lin Wan only found the opportunity to take stock of her situation when she was out of the president’s office. Jiang Yu’s reaction had been harsher than she anticipated. Was it because she did not knock before entering?
There was also that photo. Jiang Yu had kept it, which meant he still had feelings for Ye Xue.
Ye Xue could not stay in the company!
Jiang Yu glanced at the handbag on his desk once Lin Wan was out the door. He recognized the suit inside as the one he had given to Ye Xue that day.
Why did she ask Lin Wan to hand it to him instead of returning it in person? Was she still stuck on that kiss?
Jiang Yu looked at the photo in his hand. There were only a few photos of them because he did not like taking pictures.
He put it back in the drawer.
Ye Xue sat in front of the computer and realized she had added sugar to the coffee.
Jiang Yu only drank milk with his coffee.
That time Jiang Yu added sugar to his coffee was because he was distracted. He had not drunk that cup of coffee.
She headed to the breakroom. There should still be time.
Ye Xue brewed another cup of coffee and added some milk to it. Afterwards, she brought the coffee to the president’s office.
She stood outside Jiang Yu’s office, hesitant. She had been working in the company for so long, but this was her first time entering the president’s office.
She knocked on the door.
After a while, a familiar voice sounded from the other side. “Come in.”
Ye Xue pushed the door open. Jiang Yu was sitting at his desk. It was the first time she had seen him working, and it was a novel sight. He looked so different seated behind his desk compared to when they were in school.
It had been more than four years since they were in university, and Jiang Yu had changed a lot. He was no longer the same youth he once was.
She walked up to him, letting out a sigh of relief when she saw that he had not touched his coffee. She put down the cup of coffee in her hand and picked up the cup of coffee filled with sugar. She did not forget to explain, “When I made your coffee earlier, I accidentally put sugar in it. I know you don’t like
sugar in your coffee, so I made you another cup.”
As she excused herself, Ye Xue heard Jiang Yu call out to her, “Xiao Xue, wait a moment.”
Ye Xue turned around and regarded Jiang Yu curiously, “Is there anything you need?”
Jiang Yu looked at the coffee in her hand. He had taken a sip and found it a little sweet. “Did you make this coffee?”
Ye Xue was afraid that Jiang Yu would misunderstand and nodded hurriedly. “Yes, I was distracted just now and put sugar in it when I made it, so I made another cup for you.”
Jiang Yu looked at the new cup of coffee. It was still steaming, so it must have been freshly brewed.
He eyed Ye Xue and said, “You live so far away, haven’t you thought about renting an apartment closer to the company?”
The day it rained, Ye Xue arrived at work as usual.
He had been thinking of what Xiao Qi had said to him these past few days. If Ye Xue could work as usual without quitting, he could see if she still had feelings for him.
It was because he had noticed that Zhou Yizuo had never appeared by Ye Xue’s side.
As for how he could worm his way into her heart…
Xiao Qi had said that he would kiss her again. If the rejection was not obvious, it meant that Tingyan had a chance.
Tingyan felt that Xiao Qi’s idea was a little unreliable, so he had been hesitating whether he should follow Xiao Qi’s suggestion and give it a try..
