Lin Chen waited for Lin Ran to continue.

  “Can you…… pretend that you don’t know me? And not to say hello when you see me at work?” Lin Ran tried to sound him out. “I still have to tell your secretary to stop calling me Miss the moment he sees me. Otherwise, no one will dare to speak comfortably in front of me.”


  Lin Chen nodded again. “Okay, I got it……”


  “Thud thud thud—”


  Someone knocked on the door, and Lin Chen’s secretary entered.

  “President Lin, Miss Lu, who came with Miss Nuan just now, is back. She said she left some stuff in your office. Is it convenient for her to come in now?”


  The secretary was still talking when Lu Yunfan squeezed to the door. She stood on her tiptoes and looked inside. Indeed, she saw the lady wearing sunglasses. Lu Yunfan felt her heart turn cold.

  Seeing that the young lady’s head was already on the secretary’s shoulder, Lin Chen frowned and asked, “What did you forget in such a hurry?”


  The secretary made way for Lu Yunfan to enter.

  Lu Yunfan met Lin Ran’s gaze, and she lost the courage to enter.

  Lin Ran raised her brows. Wasn’t this the young lady who didn’t look around while crossing the street?

  At first, Lin Ran had thought that this young lady was trying to extort money, but it wasn’t what she had expected her to be……

  “Erm…… I thought about how hard it was for you to work, so I went to the cafe across the road to buy you a cup of coffee! I didn’t add milk or sugar!” Lu Yunfan quickly walked in and placed the coffee on Lin Chen’s large office table. She looked helpless as she said awkwardly, “I didn’t leave anything behind. It was just an excuse because the security guards didn’t let me in. Sister Nuan Nuan has left so no one could bring me in……”


  Lu Yunfan felt very guilty. She didn’t know why, but she felt so guilty that she could only stare at her toes every time she lied to Lin Chen.

  Lin Ran looked at the young lady who was delivering coffee to Lin Chen, a slight smile appearing on her lips. She guessed that this young lady was Miss Jian, who had sent Lin Chen a watch that day during dinner.

  Not wanting to stay here and be the third wheel, Lin Ran picked up her bag and said, “Then I’ll get going first. In the afternoon, Mom insisted on bringing us along to the concert. Are you going?”


  Why did this lady’s mother ask Lin Chen if he wanted to attend the concert?

  Could it be that the two of them……

  Had the two of them reached the stage of meeting their parents?

  “I’ll see if I have the time. If I can get off work early, I’ll pick you guys up,” Lin Chen said.

  Lu Yunfan looked at Lin Ran with her heart aching.

  Did he say he would pick up the mother and daughter?

  Had Lin Chen really met her parents? Were they already engaged? Why didn’t she know? Lu Yunfan’s eyes widened, and her eyes turned red.

  Lin Ran left the office with her bag. Seeing Lin Ran’s reddened eyes, Lin Chen knew that the young lady was thinking about something silly. Instead of explaining, he asked, “The coffee is here. Aren’t you leaving?”


  Lu Yunfan looked up at Lin Chen, then lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers. “Then…… then…… is that lady your girlfriend or fiancée?”


  There was a hint of a smile in Lin Chen’s eyes. He kept feeling that the lass before him was getting more and more adorable.

  “Does it have something to do with you?” Lin Chen looked at Lu Yunfan.

  “Of course, it does!” The young lady said straightforwardly. “I like you so much, but if you already have a girlfriend or fiancée, then I…… I……”


  “You what?” Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, his throat moving slightly, his voice deep and deep.

  “I can’t pursue you like this! What’s the difference between this and a mistress!”


  Lin Chen didn’t say a word. He was prepared to lie to the young lady to make her retreat……

  After all, Lu Yunfan was too young and bright. She should be dating a youthful and handsome guy who was around her age, and not blindly trying to tie the latter half of her life to an older man like him.

  However, the young lady continued, “But even if I can’t chase after you, I’ll persist after the two of you break up. If you’re already engaged with her…… then after the two of you cancel the engagement. If you’re married, I can wait until the two of you get divorced. Anyway, I refuse to be a third party! I won’t destroy your relationship, but I have the right to pursue you when you become single again.”


  What was this?

  Lu Yunfan then lowered her head and ran out of Lin Chen’s office……

  After closing the door, Lin Chen’s secretary saw Lu Yunfan coming out with reddened eyes and thought that Lin Chen had scolded her. He smiled and sent Lu Yunfan to the elevator. “Miss Lu, please don’t worry about it.”


  Lu Yunfan sniffled. Recalling the pretty lady earlier, she asked Lin Chen’s secretary, “Is the lady that was in Brother Lin Chen’s office earlier his girlfriend?”


  The secretary paused, then smiled. “That’s our President Lin’s younger sister, the third daughter of the Lin family…… Lin Ran.”


  “Huh?” Lu Yunfan was stunned.

  Lin Ran?

  Was it…… Lin Chen’s biological sister, Lin Ran, who had been switched by birth with Lin Nuan?

  How could this be?

  Lu Yunfan recalled what Lin Ran said earlier……

  [Then I’ll get going first. In the afternoon, Mom insisted on bringing us along to the concert. Are you going?]

  Lin Ran was referring to just Mom, not her Mom. Didn’t she then mean…… Lin Chen’s and Lin Ran’s mother?

  Lu Yunfan’s heart started beating wildly.

  She couldn’t hide the joy in her heart. She wanted to turn around and hug Lin Chen tightly.

  Bang!

  Once the elevator arrived, the secretary respectfully said to Lu Yunfan, “Miss Lu, the elevator has arrived!”


  After entering the elevator and waiting for the door to close, Lu Yunfan smacked himself on the head……

  What was she even thinking about, letting her imagination run wild!

  Recalling what she said in front of Lin Chen, she felt so embarrassed!

  Lu Yunfan covered her face as she walked out of the Lin residence building. She hailed a cab and headed to the gallery that she had just bought, preparing to check on the renovation progress.

  Lu Yunfan had been distracted the entire day, and she was flustered because of her embarrassing actions in front of Lin Chen.

  She was worried that Lin Chen would think that she was a retard for mistaking his sister as his girlfriend or fiancée.

  Could it be that after she had someone she liked, she would end up being concerned about gains and losses?

  Lu Yunfan felt that ever since she fell for Lin Chen, her heart had been beating rapidly like a rollercoaster ride. If this continued, she would have a heart attack.

  Lu Yunfan was distracted as he looked at the renovations. Lu Yunfan was sitting in a milk tea shop at the corner of the street. She called You Jiaxin and told her about the troubles she was facing in pursuing her love.

  You Jiaxin encouraged Lu Yunfan by telling her that everyone had been in her shoes. If she wanted to be with her true love, she had to persist and be bold. Most importantly…… she shouldn’t be afraid of acting brazenly to get his love.

  After You Jiaxin’s explanation, Lu Yunfan felt better.

  Alright, since all the girls who were trying to woo their love acted this way, she shouldn’t feel too bad about it and be too mindful……
