Chapter 100 - Go with the Flow

Li Qin Yao jogged up the small steps and went straight to the elevator. She did not stay long to look at Zhang Yu Han's expression. Or else, she might catch his rare bright smile. She pressed at the up button and peeked behind her shoulder as she waited for the elevator to arrive. However, in her distance, she could no longer see Zhang Yu Han's silhouette.

As she thought of their small interaction as she got off his vehicle just now, Li Qin Yao's ears turned red.

She had momentarily lost her balance and Zhang Yu Han was quick enough to help her. Or else, her head might knock against the door or worst, she might sprain her ankle if she did not land properly.

What was disrupting her mind right now was how close they were in such a situation, that it almost felt as if Zhang Yu Han was hugging her. To make things worst, he had spoken so near to her ear, and his voice almost make her knees weak.

Li Qin Yao glanced at her legs and silently cursed her short legs and her weakness at hearing a deep baritone voice in someone like Zhang Yu Han. Fortunately, it was dark at night or else, she was going to be embarrassed to death if Zhang Yu Han noticed how her ears had turned red.

Ding!

The elevator arrived and Li Qin Yao snapped out of her trance. She walked in a daze as her mind continued to think of what happened.

It was not as if she did not notice Zhang Yu Han's change of attitude around her.

Not too long ago that she had convinced herself that Zhang Yu Han absolutely had no interest in her. But recently, it was difficult not to notice the change in the way he has been treating her.

Picking her up, sending her back and spending time with her in the office under the pretext to learn more about their project. Although Zhang Group had invested a lot of money in this project, Li Qin Yao still thought that it would be too strange that he would come over from Y City every day for this reason.

It was not hard for her to see that he was interested in her. And this time, he no longer sent her any mixed messages. He no longer tried to distance himself after getting closer.

However, she still did not know whether his feeling towards her was merely an interest, admiration or more than that.

Regarding her feeling…

After she had run into Chen Hao and Tang Ai Ling together, Li Qin Yao already thought that she did not felt the same way as she did in the past. When she saw both of them together, though she was disappointed that Chen Hao had chosen to follow his mother's wishes, Li Qin Yao had wished for the two of them to be happy together. Perhaps Mother Chen really do know best for her son.

Since she had let go of Chen Hao, Li Qin Yao thought that she will not shy away from a new relationship and take a chance. Whatever it is, she has decided to go with the flow. If one day she found someone she liked, she will not hesitate to tell the other person of her feelings. If one day someone had confessed to her, then she will only follow her heart at that time.

Li Qin Yao snapped out of her trance when the elevator stopped at Han Yue Xiu's level. She headed to the door and knocked. It did not take Han Yue Xiu a long time before she appeared at the door.

"You're here," Han Yue Xiu stepped aside to let her friend in. "I've been waiting for you since you called. Why did you suddenly decide to stay here?"

"Zhang Yu Han introduced me to a new investor," Li Qin Yao looked at her friend with a bright smile. "Yue Xiu, I don't have to worry about not having enough budget anymore!"

Han Yue Xiu was affected by her friend's smile. "That's good. We can celebrate!"

Li Qin Yao turned to the living room and paused. Her mouth gaped as she watched the view in front of her. She had long known that Han Yue Xiu was someone who loved junk food but seeing various types of junk food lying around the room shocked her. Li Qin Yao had visited Han Yue Xiu's apartment for a lot of times, but this is the first time that she had seen it this messy!

"Yue Xiu, what happened?"

Han Yue Xiu locked the door and followed Li Qin Yao's gaze. "Sorry. I haven't had time to clean up." She walked over to the living room and began to pick up a few discarded wrappers on the floor. Then she pointed to the sofa. "Have a seat."

Li Qin Yao put her bags at the side and picked up a portable vacuum. Turning it on, she then vacuumed around the sofa. "Are you not afraid that there will be cockroaches later on?"

"Hey, don't say that creature's name or you'll jinx it," Han Yue Xiu stood up straight and started to look around as if that creature would appear from a corner of the room anytime soon.

It was no secret that Han Yue Xiu was scared of the insect, especially the one that flies. If she encountered a flying cockroach, Han Yue Xiu would run into another room.

Once she had vacuumed the sofa, Li Qin Yao put it aside and sat down. She glanced at Han Yue Xiu and noticed that her friend was in a daze. It was then that she recalled how she thought Han Yue Xiu's voice did not sound so good on the phone.

Li Qin Yao continued to stare at her friend, but Han Yue Xiu did not seem to notice her gaze on her. Feeling that something was not right, Li Qin Yao grabbed both of Han Yue Xiu's hands to stop her from picking up another can on the floor.

"Yue Xiu, what's wrong with you."

Han Yue Xiu snapped out of her trance. She stared into Li Qin Yao's eyes for a while before she looked away and sighed. Slowly, she sat down and massaged her temple. "Yao Yao, I quit my job."

Li Qin Yao blinked. For a short while, she did not know how to react. She had heard the same words from Han Yue Xiu not too long ago, however, the tones were different.

"What happened this time?" Her eyes flashed as she recalled hearing something while Han Yue Xiu's boss visited her apartment to deliver some files. "Did something happened at work?"

Han Yue Xiu frowned as she thought of her workplace. She lifted her face and her expression twisted. "My boss. That stupid boss. He kissed me."
