Chapter 898: I Thought He Didn’t Like His Fiancée

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

She looked beautiful with stylish shoulder-length hair and delicate make-up. She wore a long, pink coat and white skirt. She looked lovely and pure.

She spoke in an arrogant tone with absolutely no expression on her face.

It was the first time that Yu Lili had seen this woman, but at first glance, Yu Lili thought she seemed aloof and arrogant. The woman looked in Yu Lili’s direction. When their eyes met across the room, Yu Lili saw astonishment flash in the woman’s eyes.

Yu Lili didn’t know the woman, nor did she know if the woman was connected to a powerful man. She calmly smiled at the woman with confidence, then nodded to her in greeting.

The woman was talking to the editor standing next to her, but her eyes never left Yu Lili. The editor quickly glanced in Yu Lili’s direction. Yu Lili was embarra.s.sed by their gaze and touched her face. Yu Lili tried to ignore them and returned to her work.

Yu Lili had no idea that this encounter would quickly change her entire career.

…

When she came to work the next day, the chief editor informed her that she would take on the position of a receptionist for the company. Yu Lili was confused by this sudden change of position. She didn’t know why she, who worked as an a.s.sistant editor, suddenly became a receptionist.

Although she was hurt, Yu Lili knew that, as a new employee, being obedient was the right thing to do.

On Tuesday and Friday, Yu Lili worked as a receptionist at the front desk and reviewed contracts as an editor in her spare time. She had not worked consistently in a while. So by her third day on the job, Yu Lili was exhausted.

On Sunday, she woke up at ten o’clock in the morning. She reached out and felt the other side of the bed. Ou Ming’s side was empty as he had already left the room.

Yu Lili got up, washed her face, and got dressed. When she ventured out, she went out and saw that Ou Ming was preparing breakfast. Fresh sandwiches were placed on the table alongside a cup of steaming hot milk.

Ou Ming saw her coming out, and he put down his coffee. He waved her over and said, “Come have breakfast with me.”

Yu Lili was full of happiness. She sat down and took a bite of the sandwich. “It’s so delicious! How did you do this?”

“I have told you before that, except for bearing children, there is nothing I can’t learn,” Ou Ming answered exultantly. He couldn’t hide the smile in his charming peach blossom eyes. He picked up a sandwich and began eating. “Drink some milk, the medicine will be decocted soon. You can drink it half an hour after breakfast.”

Yu Lili ate her sandwich and nodded. The medicine was a traditional Chinese concoction that helped improve her physical condition. It especially helped alleviate the overwhelming sense of coldness in her body.

Halfway through breakfast, Ou Ming’s cell phone rang. Yu Lili glimpsed the name “Shen Manting” on the screen. She froze, her heart plummeting. She looked away and pretended not to see it.

Ou Ming didn’t notice Yu Lili’s reaction and calmly answered the phone as he continued to eat breakfast.

To Ou Ming’s surprise, the person at the other end was not Shen Manting. It was Mother Ou.

“Xiao Ou, where are you? Today is Sat.u.r.day. Why aren’t you home? I haven’t seen you in such a long time, and I miss you very much.

As Ou Ming heard his mother’s words, he stopped eating. He glanced at the clock and said, “Ok, wait for me. I will be home later.”

Go home!

Yu Lili looked up at him in shock.

He said, “go home.” I thought he didn’t like his fiancée, Shen Manting, so why does he have a home with her?
