Love at the Fingertips

Yi Ren returned to her bedroom, took a bath, and stared blankly into space.

He didn't seem to be a bad person.

At least, he wasn't as exaggerated as Yan Ziyun had described.

After a day's work, apart from their encounter in the morning, they had exchanged no more than three sentences.

"Come in!"

"Just put it on the desk!"

"Thank you!"

Those were the three sentences.

Remembering what Cheng Yuxuan had said yesterday: How could he be gay? He just loved his wife too much!

He loved his wife so much, yet his wife couldn't forgive the fact that he had an illegitimate child.

Emotions really were tricky.

But then again,

if he loved his wife so much, how could he mess around outside?

So it was only natural that his wife wouldn't forgive him.

Yi Ren climbed out of the bathtub and laughed at herself for being crazy. What did problems between their couple have to do with her?

She changed into a comfortable set of home clothes, then walked to the study, took a notebook from the bookshelf,

and started making records.

Since she was prone to forgetting things, she recorded everything she did every day. Whenever she felt that she had forgotten something, she would come and flip through this notebook. This was already the third notebook for making records, and she had just written a few pages.

The ringtone of her mobile phone's text message rang. She opened it and saw that there was a text message from him in the inbox.

Are you getting used to the work today?

Yi Ren pressed the keys, wanting to reply: It's okay. I'm quite adapted to it.

But the message she had written wasn't sent out.

He was no longer an ordinary friend to her now; he was her boss.

She suddenly felt that apart from normal business communication, there shouldn't be any private interaction between them!

————————————————————————

She didn't reply!

After she found out his identity, she couldn't treat him as an ordinary friend anymore.

She was still the same as before!

Ji Minze sat at the desk in the study, but he couldn't look at the documents as he usually did. All day today, he deliberately ignored her, just because he didn't want her to feel constrained!

She had truly forgotten everything completely. Even when sitting in her former position, she still had no impression of it. Everything required her to start learning from scratch.

She was right in front of him. She naturally addressed him as Minze or President, yet she didn't know that the man standing in front of her had once been the love of her life that she couldn't forget!

The ringtone of the mobile phone's text message rang again. Ji Minze opened the inbox with a bit of excitement, just like an excited young man in his first love. But soon his expression turned gloomy. It wasn't a reply from Yi Ren, but a text message from Tang Lei!

Yiyang will be back in the country for a week next Wednesday. If you want to see him, you can go and visit!

Tang Yiyang was the name of the child. He took his mother's surname. Tang Lei had given him this name, implying that his future could be like a soaring eagle.

Okay, I'll go and see the child with Yi Ren!

Ji Minze replied.

Subconsciously, he didn't want Tang Lei to know that he and Yi Ren had been separated for a year, and that Yi Ren had regarded him as a complete stranger.

He already knew why Yi Ren had been so angry that day, because there were two call records on his mobile phone that happened to be during the time when Tang Lei borrowed his phone.

Although he didn't know exactly what they had said, he knew that those two calls had been a fatal blow to Yi Ren.

Tang Lei didn't reply.

Neither did Yi Ren!

Ji Minze sat alone in the study with a furrowed brow.

His life seemed to be constantly accompanied by setbacks and hardships.

A little after eleven o'clock, he picked up his mobile phone, stood up, left the study, and returned to his bedroom!

Lying on the bed, the mobile phone on the bedside table vibrated twice and then went still.

Ji Minze reached out and picked up the mobile phone. When he opened it, he saw Yi Ren's reply.

Sorry, I didn't mean to speak ill of you before. In fact, you're not ugly at all!

Ji Minze smiled. In the darkness of the night, he smiled foolishly all by himself.

His slender fingers pressed the keys and finally pressed the send button!

Will you still consider me a friend?

This time, Yi Ren didn't make Ji Minze wait long before replying.

Do you mean that you're the boss during working hours and a friend after work?

Ji Minze replied: Yes!

Yi Ren replied: I can consider it! Good night, friend!

Ji Minze smiled.

He had a good night's sleep that night!

"Good morning!" Yi Ren greeted the two switchboard operators in the lobby!

"Good morning, Madam!" One of the switchboard operators looked at Yi Ren in surprise and said. She hadn't seen the president's wife come to the company for a long time.

"Madam? Oh, I'm not called Madam. My name is Yi Ren. I'm the new president's secretary!" Yi Ren explained.

"Good morning, Secretary Yi!"

The voice of Dongfang Hao sounded behind her.

"Good morning, Special Assistant!" Yi Ren turned around and smiled brightly.

"From now on, Yi Ren is the president's secretary, so everyone can address her as Secretary Yi!" Dongfang Hao walked over and said.

He knew that Wen Xue knew Yi Ren, but she didn't know Yi Ren's current situation!

"Yes, Special Assistant Dongfang!" Wen Xue and the newly arrived switchboard operator nodded in response.

"Are you getting used to your first day of work?" Dongfang Hao asked after they entered the elevator.

"I'm quite adapted to it. I also want to thank you, Special Assistant, for being such a good mentor!" Yi Ren smiled!

"You'll soon be able to surpass me!" Dongfang Hao said. Yi Ren's abilities were well-known to many people who knew her.

"How is that possible? I'm just a little secretary!" Yi Ren waved her hand and said, thinking that Dongfang Hao was just saying polite words.

"Anyone who can be the president's secretary is definitely not just a little secretary!" Dongfang Hao showed a sunny smile.

This smile made Yi Ren stare blankly.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Hao said, feeling uncomfortable being stared at.

"I found that you look really beautiful when you smile!" Yi Ren said frankly. Then she walked out of the elevator.

Dongfang Hao's bright smile turned into a look of frustration. He hated it the most when others said he was beautiful, and whether Yi Ren had lost her memory or not, she still liked to use "beautiful" to describe his appearance as always.
