107 Emotional Breakdown
“He doesn’t understand yet.”
“I have to say it even if he doesn’t understand.”
Zhao Lan burst out laughing.
She cupped his cheeks and kissed his lips. “Let’s go home together after work? I’ll cook tonight.”
!!
“With me around, do you need to cook?”
“Then I’ll wait to eat?”
“Of course.” Pan Jun picked her up. “There’s still an hour and a half. Shall I take an afternoon nap with you?”
“Where?”
“In my office.”
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Lin Jiao quickly pulled Pei Yilan back to the resting area.
Two colleagues were also there making tea, so it was not convenient for them to talk. They looked at each other and sat there like they were on pins and needles.
After their colleagues left, Pei Yilan, who was about to be suffocated, quickly said, “Jiaojiao, that was Zhao Lan, right?”
“It sounds like her.”
“That’s ridiculous! The two of them look like they have nothing to do with each other, but who would have thought that they have such a relationship in private?”
Lin Jiao did not expect this either.
She recalled their interaction and a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes. “He even cheated on his wife and got someone pregnant. How disgusting.”
“That’s right.” Pei Yilan pursed her lips. “Pan Jun is just like that bastard.”
“Who’s that bastard?”
“Gu Quan.”
Hearing this name, Lin Jiao’s mind buzzed, and countless memories that she had put on the back of her mind came up again.
She frowned, and her face turned pale. Even her hand that was holding the cup was trembling.
“Jiaojiao?”
“Pa—”
The glass she swung off the table sent shards flying.
Pei Yilan was so scared that her heart tightened. She quickly walked to her side and grabbed her shoulder. “Jiaojiao, are you feeling unwell?”
Lin Jiao came back to her senses and grabbed Pei Yilan, holding her tighter and tighter like she was clenching at the last straw.
“I didn’t…” She pursed her lips and burst into tears.” Yilan, I didn’t cheat on Pei Zhi. ”
Pei Yilan was completely puzzled.
She hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of Lin Jiao’s eyes. “Jiaojiao, did you get confused?”
“I’m not.”
“Then why did you say that?”
Lin Jiao, whose mind was in a mess, did not say anything.
She pushed Pei Yilan’s hand away and rushed upstairs, but she stopped at the door of the CEO’s office.
The courage she could not muster and the fear of being given up were like dark clouds hanging over her head, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Until…
The door opened to reveal dazzling light, and she was pulled into a warm embrace.
Pei Zhi carried her to the sofa.
He stared at her tearful face and coaxed her patiently until she stopped crying. “Jiaojiao, why are you crying?”
“I used to—”
“Used to what?”
Lin Jiao looked up at him and buried her head in his chest again, muttering, “I’ve been in a relationship with someone else.”
“I know.”
Pei Zhi held her cold hand and roughly guessed why she broke down. “What happened in the past stays in the past.”
“But I feel terrible.”
“I don’t care what happened between you and someone else. As long as you belong to me now, that’s enough.”
Lin Jiao sniffed.
As if wanting to see his expression, she met his smiling gaze. “Do you really not mind?”
“I don’t mind.”
“You won’t be angry with me either?”
Pei Zhi kissed her eyes. “I won’t.”
