“Wait.” He grabbed her instantly. “Are you mad? I didn’t mean to look down on your job with what I said just now.”
She looked at him weirdly. “I’m not mad.” If she were to be mad about this, she would have died from anger a long time ago.
“If you want to, I can find a better job for you,” Gu Lichen said.
“Mr. Gu, I don’t think we’re that close. You don’t need to help me find another job. I’m perfectly happy with what I’m doing now,” Ling Yiran said and glanced at his hand that was holding hers. “Can you let go? I need to deliver these.”
The dark pair of eyes stared at her. After a while, he finally let go of his hand. Not close? However, he knew her better than she knew herself.
He knew about her past from his conversation with Ling Luoyin. He knew everything about her, from her youth to her adulthood…
“You’re happy with what you’re doing now?” He chuckled softly. “A former lawyer is happy with being a delivery person?”
Ling Yiran’s eyes became dim. Lawyer… It sounded so far away from her now.
After getting on her battery-powered bike, she heard Gu Lichen’s voice again. “It seems like there’s something I don’t know between you and Yi Jinli. If you can’t stay with him anymore, you’re more than welcome to come to me.”
Her body tensed up. Then, she drove her bike away.
Even if she left Yi Jinli, she would not go and look for the young master of the entertainment industry.
A man like him would be crueler than Yi Jinli. It was not like she had never met his ex-girlfriends. He spoiled them rotten when they were his girlfriends, but when they broke up, he was so cold that it was horrifying.
Gu Lichen’s eyes went back to their usual coldness. He walked back to the restaurant to pay for his bill. He asked Mrs. Zhuo at the counter nonchalantly, “Where’s the cashier lady who was here earlier?”
“She… She’s in the kitchen,” Mrs. Zhuo answered after stammering.
Gu Lichen did not say anything more. Before he left, he looked at the kitchen as if he was in deep thought.
After Gu Lichen left, Mrs. Zhuo walked into the kitchen and said to her daughter, “He’s gone.”
Zhuo Qianyun was not relieved. On the other hand, she said, “Did he say anything when he left?”
