"Yeah! Ah, finally I can sleep in tomorrow." Yun Xi sighed softly, lifted her wrist to check the time, "It’s already five o’clock! Lingran, I have some personal matters I’d like to consult with you about, are you free tonight?"
"Hmm?" Ye Lingran looked over, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am!"
"In that case, let’s go now!" With that, Yun Xi swiftly stood up from the sofa, picked up her bag, and raised her eyebrows at Yun Qi, "Bro, I’ve left the documents on the table, I’m not handling the rest."
Yun Qi lowered his gaze slightly, instinctively glanced at Cen Jin beside him, and nodded, "Okay."
"Cen Jin, I’m leaving with Lingran first!" Yun Xi hooked her arm through Ye Lingran’s, smiled, and waved at Cen Jin.
Cen Jin nodded, showing a faint smile, "Alright, okay."
After Ye Lingran was pulled away by Yun Xi, the large office was left with only Cen Jin and Yun Qi. Cen Jin retracted her gaze, meeting Yun Qi’s eyes, where a clear gentleness was visible. Cen Jin froze for a moment, then slowly got up from the sofa, smiling lightly, "It’s getting late, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first. If there are any other changes, you can contact me or Lingran." Original content can be found at novel-fire.net
After Cen Jin finished speaking and was about to turn and leave, Yun Qi quickly caught up with two quick steps and grabbed Cen Jin’s wrist, urgently saying, "Cen Jin, wait."
Hearing this, Cen Jin turned back, her gaze falling on the slender fingers gripping her wrist, she paused slightly, her pink lips gently pressed together. Yun Qi seemed to notice the change in Cen Jin’s expression and hurriedly released her hand, "Sorry..."
Cen Jin also took the opportunity to retrieve her hand, softly rubbing her wrist, shaking her head, "It’s okay... do you have anything else?"
"Yes." Yun Qi responded very confidently, then pondered, "Are you free for dinner tonight?"
Cen Jin seemed to sense something in her heart, her pink lips pursed slightly, she instinctively wanted to avoid it. For someone who rarely lied, she was not at all guilty: "Sorry, I’ve made plans to have dinner with my husband tonight."
"Your husband?" Hearing this, Yun Qi’s eyes widened in surprise, a sudden pang of pain gripped his heart.
Cen Jin’s face was painted with a sweet smile, nodding with no concealment, "Yes, I recently had a whirlwind marriage and registered it with Jiang Baizhou."
"A whirlwind marriage?"
"Yes! Isn’t it surprising? Just a short time ago he and I were only friends, and now we’re already a married couple, I actually feel like I’m dreaming." Cen Jin seemed to be lost in her memories, her smile was faint but it wasn’t hard to see that she was happily sweet.
"How could this happen...?" But Yun Qi found it somewhat unbelievable, everything happened so suddenly, he hadn’t even had a chance to do anything, and it was already over.
He doesn’t deny that he has feelings for Cen Jin, today Yun Xi got Ye Lingran out of the way because he wanted to confess this to her, but he never expected this would be the result.
"Sorry! Dinner can’t happen tonight, maybe next time!" Watching Yun Qi’s bewildered expression, Cen Jin became even more certain in her heart, convinced that she made the right decision.
After all, some things are better left unsaid, at least this way they can maintain their friendship and not leave any expectations for him.
