Zhao Youming was just as surprised when he saw Zhao Youlin. After he came back to his senses, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He took the initiative to walk over to Zhao Youlin. “Cousin, did you just come back from abroad? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? When did you come back?”


  Zhao Youlin thought to herself, ‘I’m not familiar with you. Why would I tell you?’ However, she put on a gentle smile and said, “I just came back and officially came to work today. I didn’t know that the first person I would meet would be you. It’s really fate!”


  Zhao Youming could hear the sarcasm in Zhao Youlin’s words. His eyes turned cold, but he quickly returned to his original state. He smiled and said, “You just only came back and will be at the company soon. Don’t you want to take advantage of this time to rest? After all, cousin, you are…… not alone right now.”


  Hearing this, Zhao Youlin’s smile became even brighter. She reached out to touch her belly and said, “How can this future star be unable to withstand such a small storm? Moreover, I think this child also wants me to come back to work. After all, I am working hard for his future and his cousin’s future.”


  Zhao Youlin’s words were like a roundabout way of telling the person in front of her that even if the future of Zhao Corporation was not her child, it would still be Han Yichen’s and An Yue’s child. It had nothing to do with him.

  Zhao Youming’s expression finally darkened. He no longer concealed his gaze when he looked at Zhao Youlin, and there was a faint hint of malice in his eyes.

  Zhao Youlin seemed to have expected this reaction from Zhao Youming. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said nothing else.

  Realizing that something was wrong, Zhao Youming’s expression quickly recovered. He glanced at Zhao Youlin and decisively changed the topic. “I heard that you went to abroad to the Mu family this time.”


  “That’s right. Why are you asking this, Chief Zhao?” Zhao Youlin asked, despite knowing the answer. Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly understood, “Oh, I remember now. You used to study there. It’s almost your second home at this point……”


  When Zhao Youlin said this, she had been paying attention to the change in Zhao Youming’s expression.

  As expected, when Zhao Youlin mentioned his school, Zhao Youming’s expression suddenly changed, as if he had heard something unpleasant.

  Although it was only for a moment, Zhao Youlin still caught it, and the guess in her heart became more and more certain.

  “I didn’t expect you to know so much about my background. I’m really flattered.”


  “Chief Zhao, you’re too modest. You’re the only one among the Zhaos who studied overseas. When I think about it again, it was truly an achievement. Li Hongyu, oh, that’s your mother. She wanted to spread the news and let everyone know how promising her son was. In fact, she did so. Everyone in the Zhao family knows that you went abroad to study. Even grandfather couldn’t help but look at you in a different light. He made a promise to let you work in the company after you graduated. It’s all interesting. Inspiring, even.”


  Zhao Youming’s expression changed when he heard Zhao Youlin mention the agreement he made with the former master. He never thought that the former master would tell Zhao Youlin about this.

  Zhao Youming’s expression turned ugly. “That’s all in the past. It’s not worth mentioning. It’s not worth mentioning.”


  “Oh, is that so?” Zhao Youlin looked at Zhao Youming with a faint smile. “You are really modest.”


  “You flatter me, cousin.” Zhao Youming hurriedly changed the topic, “It’s getting late. If we keep talking like this, we’ll probably be late for work. Cousin, there’s nothing wrong with you. I need to clock in. I’m afraid I can’t continue chatting with you. We…… can talk when we have time.”


  Zhao Youlin knew to quit when the time was right. She didn’t hold Zhao Youming back and smiled. “Okay.”


  Zhao Youming had asked for it. He had originally come to see Zhao Youlin make a fool of herself, but in the end, Zhao Youlin saw him as a joke and fled dejectedly.

  Zhao Youlin watched Zhao Youming leave in a hurry. The smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and a trace of deep thought flashed across her eyes.

  Suddenly, Zhao Youlin seemed to have sensed something. She turned around and looked in a certain direction. After seeing something, her eyes suddenly shrank.

  Just as she was about to chase after him to take a closer look, a familiar voice came from behind, “General Manager, why are you standing at the main entrance? Why didn’t you come in?”


  Zhao Youlin turned her head and saw Xiao Li rush out of the office with a confused look on her face.

  “Why did you come down?”It was almost time for work. This guy came out from the office, so he must have gone airs. If he came down at this time, don’t tell her that he just wanted to take a walk.

  “I…… I received a call from President Mu, saying that you would come to work today and asked me to take care of you. But I waited for a long time. It’s almost time for work, but I didn’t see you, so I thought of going downstairs to take a look……” Xiao Li’s face was red, apparently, after she received Mu Tingfeng’s call, she saw that Zhao Youlin hadn’t gone upstairs for a long time. She was so worried that she rushed down.

  Zhao Youlin felt a tinge of warmth in her heart and replied in a low voice, “I just met an acquaintance, so I chatted with him for a while.”


  “I see……” Xiao Li nodded in understanding. She immediately went forward to hold Zhao Youlin’s hand and said, “Then let’s go up now. Otherwise, there will be more people soon.”


  Zhao Youlin nodded and was about to walk forward when she suddenly thought of something and stopped.

  “What’s wrong?” Xiao Li looked at Zhao Youlin in confusion, but she found that Zhao Youlin was also looking at her.

  “How did Mu Tingfeng get your phone number? When did the two of you exchange numbers? I didn’t know anything about it!”


  “Um……”


  Zhao Youlin’s eyes suddenly narrowed as she spoke, revealing a bit of a terrifying danger. “Could it be that you and he……”


  Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No, no, no, it’s not what you think.”


  Zhao Youlin smiled. “I didn’t say anything about that. Why are you getting agitated? Are you feeling guilty?”


  Xiao Li realized that Zhao Youlin was deliberately teasing her. She could not help but look at Zhao Youlin with a reproachful look, and her little face blushed slightly. “General Manager!”


  If she had not said such ambiguous words, she would have mistakenly thought…… Why would she be so flustered?

  Zhao Youlin knew that the little girl was thin-skinned, so she did not continue to tease her. She frowned and said thoughtfully, “However, since it’s not like that, then the real purpose of you exchanging phone numbers is……”
