Yiren was discussing the latest sales situation with the Sales Department manager when she received a call from Ji Minze.
"How are you today?" Because today was exactly the time of Yiren's period as recorded in Long Zeming's materials. He didn't know how to deal with it either, so he called to ask if she was okay first.
"Not bad," Yiren didn't know why Ji Minze suddenly asked this and could only reply. In fact, she was enduring physical discomfort while working. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I just wanted to know how you're feeling physically," Ji Minze held the phone, looking a bit awkward. Suddenly, he didn't know how to tell Yiren the real purpose of his call.
"Did you call me just to ask about my health?" Yiren wanted to laugh, but she held back because there were other people present.
"Besides that, I also want to tell you: I miss you!" He rarely said such sweet words, but it felt quite good to say them now.
"Me too," Yiren said. Although she had thought about Ji Minze before, the feeling wasn't as strong and eager as it was now. It was like being in the stage of a secret crush. Although she thought about the other person, she could still restrain herself. But once the confession was successful and she fell into a passionate love, even a moment of separation would seem long, and then the tide of longing would rush in like a fierce beast! "But I'm in a meeting right now. Can I call you back later?"
"Okay! If you don't feel well, call me directly."
"Sure," Yiren said and hung up the phone. She wondered if Ji Minze also knew that she wasn't feeling well because of her period today.
Yiren continued to talk with the Sales Department manager and didn't finish until it was almost time to get off work.
As soon as the Sales Department manager left, a figure flashed in.
"Sis!" At this time, Yan Ziyun burst in without even knocking on the door. There was a rare look of panic on her pretty face.
"Ziyun, what's wrong?" Yiren looked up and asked.
"Nothing! I just saw a ghost and came in to hide for a while," Yan Ziyun said.
"What do you mean you saw a ghost? Don't talk nonsense in broad daylight," Yiren asked, even more puzzled. Her younger sister would often be away from home for several days without saying where she was going, and she never asked for money from home.
"Yeah," Yan Ziyun then patted her chest again to calm her nerves. Fortunately, when she saw the side profile of that person, she recognized who it was and quickly made a 180-degree turn and walked in the opposite direction. This scare almost scared the life out of her.
"Then who did you see that scared you like this?" Yiren was even more curious. In Huanyu Group, it was rare for Yan Ziyun to be afraid of someone.
"Anyway, you don't know him," Yan Ziyun said evasively.
"Is it Haoning's biological father?" Yiren asked tentatively. Yan Ziyun never said who Yan Haoning's father was, no matter how much they pressured her.
"Uh... No! Sis, I'm okay. I'm going back now! Work hard and have a nice date with my missing brother-in-law tonight!" Yan Ziyun said and dashed out of Yiren's office. Yiren behind her showed a faint smile.
After work, Ji Minze appeared at the Huanyu Building on time. He didn't call to urge Yiren but waited for her quietly downstairs.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Someone knocked on his car window.
Ji Minze rolled down the window and saw a lively and pretty face. He recognized it as Yan Ziyun, Yiren's half-sister.
"Ziyun, right?" Ji Minze asked with a smile. This girl used to be an authoritative psychologist.
"Are you here to pick up my sister?" Yan Ziyun said with hostility. As soon as she walked out of the building, she recognized whose car it was.
"Yes! We're going to have Japanese cuisine together later. Do you want to come with us?" Ji Minze still asked gently.
"I don't want to be a third wheel! But I'm warning you, don't bully my sister again. Otherwise, I'll definitely make my sister accept the proposal of that handsome guy who's a hundred times better than you!" Yan Ziyun threatened Ji Minze.
"Your sister will be with me, and I'll take good care of her," Ji Minze frowned slightly. Yan Ziyun's words made him think of Long Zeming. He had always known that his strongest rival was him.
"I hope you keep your word! Brother-in-law!" Yan Ziyun said and turned away from Ji Minze's car. She remembered that she had a date with Yu Hanfeng in the evening.
Ji Minze smiled when he heard Yan Ziyun's last address for him.
Yiren looked at the time. It was almost time to get off work.
She picked up the phone and dialed Ji Minze's number.
"Have you gotten off work?" At this moment, she felt like an innocent girl, feeling shy and expectant! Being with the person she loved, she felt sweet no matter when.
"I'm downstairs at your company," Ji Minze's gentle voice came through.
"Oh! I'll come down right away," Yiren replied. She thought Ji Minze hadn't gotten off work yet, but she didn't expect that he was already waiting for her downstairs.
She hung up the phone, quickly tidied up, and left her office.
"Secretary He, I'm leaving for today. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, Ms. Yi."
