Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Back at the hotel, Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi went back to rest first, while Xu Lin came over to Ms. Yes side. He needed to use a computer because, currently, he could only write articles on a computer; his phone doesnt support it. So, he had to come over to borrow someone elses computer.

He thinks the payment for this public welfare short film would be around 8,000 to 9,000 RMB, so he can really buy a laptop with it, which would be useful for future outings.

What would you like to drink? I have red wine, juice, and cola here.

Juice, please, Xu Lin said, his eyes fixed on the screen as he edited the article.

Ms. Ye poured the juice, then gently placed the cup on the table when she saw Xu Lin deeply focused on typing. She then sat beside him, holding her own cup, sipping hot water, and wondering what genre his novel was.

But just silently being watched like this, Xu Lin found himself writing slower and slower. After all, its one thing to write on your own, but its another thing when someone is watching; it suddenly feels awkward.

Um, Ms. Ye, could you not look at me like that? Its making me quite nervous.

Haha, youre not my employee. If you were slacking off at work, Id naturally make you nervous. What are you nervous about?

Its just nothing. Xu Lin didnt know how to respond, so he took a sip of juice and started typing again, saving his draft. After all, he had been lazy lately, only having a few drafts saved. He doesnt know if the filming schedule for the next few days will be busy or not, so it might be good to prepare some in advance.

After writing for a few more minutes, with the scent of a mature woman lingering around his nose and being constantly stared at by the other party, he finally couldnt continue.

Whats wrong?

Sigh My thoughts are a bit unclear. Ill take a short break.

I cant possibly use your computer and say I cant continue writing because youre looking at me, right?

I see. Lets chat for a bit.

Its my honour to chat with someone like you, a big boss.

What big boss? Im just a commander-in-chief who was pushed onto the stage.

Without any capable subordinates, thats why I have to travel all over the country myself.

Xu Lin nodded. Taking over a struggling company at the age of twenty-something, he couldnt imagine the pressure.

Is Shaoyao asleep?

She played all day today, and shes tired. She really likes you. Ive never seen her so close to someone, let alone a stranger.

I didnt do anything special; I just treated her like an ordinary little girl.

Maybe its because you treated her as an ordinary girl, not as Ye Fanlengs child, not as my grandfathers great-granddaughter.

Children from wealthy families also have troubles and difficulties, huh~

Xu Lin, the two by your side are not just ordinary wealthy people. They should have more troubles than me and Jiangli.

Well, fortunately, Im just an ordinary person.

That night, she went out for a drink to vent, and on her way back home, she had an accident. When my grandfather found out about it, he scolded my father severely and then sent someone to the female employees home.

We found out she had a daughter, not even a year old, who had been temporarily cared for by the womans mother, but her mother wasnt in good health either.

My grandfather was prepared to give some money to help the child, but at that time, I felt like I wouldnt get married in the future. In a moment of impulse, I went over there directly and discussed adoption.

In the end, through my persuasion or perhaps influenced by money, the other party chose to give the child to me, and that child is Jiang Li.

After speaking, her breathing became slightly rapid, and then she took a sip of water and continued.

But Im not a responsible mother. I didnt have the consciousness of being a mother. After my grandfather passed away, I understood this even more.

Because of my incompetence, Jiang Li didnt enjoy maternal love. She didnt have a father either, nor did she experience the love of relatives. I myself have lost what little family I had.

Ye Fanlengs tone became increasingly heavy, but Xu Lin didnt interrupt her; she just continued to listen quietly.

So after this first shot from the company is completed, I feel like I need to spend more time with Shao Yao as a mother!

Well, Shao Yao loves you too; shes just not very good at expressing it, and you, President Ye, arent either.

I know; thats why I hope in the future I can be a responsible mother.

Alright, Ill leave now. I will come back to write when youre free tomorrow; until when will you be here?

Im leaving the day after tomorrow. I might be out during the day; Shao Yao will be in the room; just come directly.

Xu Lin finished the remaining juice in one gulp, got up to leave, and Ye Fanleng immediately stood up to see him off.

Xu Lin waved his hand. Ill go up by myself, President Ye, take good rest, and take Shao Yao out for a parent-child dinner tonight.

Ye Fanleng nodded and also stood up with him. Xu Lin then noticed she had changed into what seemed to be pyjamas.

Like smooth ice, the fabric slid down her skin due to her excellent figure, appearing as if it were a tight-fitting outfit. The gem pendant around her neck dangled onto her chest, eventually disappearing between the snow-capped mountains.

He couldnt help but let his eyes linger for a moment. He swallowed hard, but the next second, he pinched himself hard, quickly opened the door, and rushed out!

Seeing Xu Lin rush out, Ye Fanleng was also startled, then glanced down at herself, understanding what had happened.

Hmph~ It seems Im not completely without desires after all. But Im also a bad woman. I knew he was coming, so I changed into this outfit.

What was I thinking? Im just an old woman, after all. Ye Fanleng! Youre still the CEO of a company, a mother You cant let desire control you.

With movements not befitting her age, she lightly patted her cheek, then opened her phone.

Hello, is this Yuan Qing, the person in charge at Jinling? Ill come by tomorrow to pick up a laptop. Please prepare a good one for me.
