Chapter 78 I am He Ziyan.

With a smile in her eyes, Lin Shuang gazed at Jiang Luo's profile, the gloom between her brows fading considerably.

Jiang Luo was like a pure and lovely little angel, healing her with her words.

"bite."

A message came in.

Lin Shuang shuddered at the sound.

Was Lin Shuang just... startled?

Jiang Luo noticed her slight trembling and was quite surprised.

The ringtone was just an ordinary ringtone, nothing special.

What happened to her?

I still can't feel at ease.

Picking up her phone, Lin Shuang saw the message and smiled, then turned to Jiang Luo and said, "Luo Luo, Ji Bei said He Ziyan wants your WeChat. Is that okay?"

"Huh?" Jiang Luo was stunned.

He Ziyan is really something...

Why go through all that trouble to find someone else?

We'll see each other tomorrow, won't we?

Why do I feel guilty when my parents catch me dating too early?

Fortunately, Lin Shuang wasn't a gossipy person and wouldn't make a fuss like Shi Yan did. She asked calmly without further teasing.

With a soft, seductive voice, Jiang Luo pursed her lips and buried her head in her hands, saying, "Give it to him."

Lin Shuang couldn't help but chuckle.

"bite."

Soon, a notification sound rang out on WeChat.

Jiang Luo glanced at Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang was looking at the menu when she noticed Jiang Luo's subtle movements out of the corner of her eye. She remained unfazed and said, "Go ahead and look if you want."

"Oh." Jiang Luo unlocked her screen and entered the WeChat page.

A friend request.

WeChat name: HZY.

Click "Agree".

He Ziyan: [I am He Ziyan.]

Jiang Luo thought to herself: Of course I know you're He Ziyan. You've gone to such lengths to ask for my WeChat!

She deliberately replied: 【I am Jiang Luo.】

He Ziyan sent a smiley face.

After replying, he looked up at Lin Shuang, who was ordering food.

Jiang Luo typed again: 【I'm having dinner with Lin Shuang, I'll contact you later.】

He Ziyan: [Waiting for you.]

oh.

wait for me.

I haven't eaten anything yet, why does it taste so sweet?

Jiang Luo placed her phone face down on the table, feigning composure. She tossed her hair behind her ear and said, "He didn't need anything, so let's ignore him and continue."

Lin Shuang handed over the menu, "Let's order."

During the wait, Jiang Luo finally asked the question that concerned her most: "Why did you go to bed so late last night?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Shuang forced a smile: "I had a nightmare."

"Have you been under too much pressure lately? Take your time with the brand, there's no rush. With your abilities, everything will go smoothly. By the way," Jiang Luo smiled brightly and asked gossipily, "How are things between you and Ji Bei?"

"I'm not going to be in a relationship for the time being," Lin Shuang suddenly said.

It was like a bucket of ice water poured over one's head.

In an instant, all the pink bubbles burst.

Jiang Luo was dumbfounded.

She still thought Ji Bei and Lin Shuang were in a sweet and loving relationship.

It wasn't there originally.

But... before, they seemed so sweet together.

He only spent a few days in jail for a dating show, yet the world has undergone such earth-shattering changes.

My worldview is about to collapse.

Seeing her astonishment, Lin Shuang stated, "I've already explained things to Ji Bei."

There's an underlying sense of eagerness to prove oneself.

Lin Shuang didn't want Jiang Luo to misunderstand that she was keeping Ji Bei hanging.

She wanted to be Jiang Luo's friend, and also wanted to be someone worthy of being Jiang Luo's friend.

Jiang Luo, suppressing her heartache, asked, "Ji Bei... how should I put it?" She truly hadn't expected her favorite couple to take this turn.

"Hey, thank goodness. I thought you were going to reject me outright. Turns out you just don't want to be in a relationship right now. Well, I'll wait for you then. I'll reserve my spot! I'm number one, so you'll have to ask me first when you want to date!"

—This is what Ji Bei said when Lin Shuang told him that she didn't want to be in a relationship yet.

That was a few nights ago.

Ji Bei came to the company to pick her up again, so she decided to make things clear with him.

She didn't want to waste his feelings and time.

In today's fast-paced dating world, if one relationship doesn't work out, you'll naturally move on to the next.

She didn't expect Ji Bei to be willing to gamble on her.

But Ji Bei's reaction was beyond her expectations.

Ji Bei didn't care at all.

He smiled as always, like a friend's husky,憨憨的 (simple and honest), showing no complicated thoughts whatsoever.

He just kept emphasizing that when she wanted to be in a relationship, she shouldn't forget to prioritize him.

His love for her was pure and innocent, without a trace of evil.

At that moment, Lin Shuang felt that no one could love her more than him.

"He said he would wait for me," Lin Shuang said frankly, her cheeks flushed.

Jiang Luo was overjoyed, but she had to try her best to control herself.

As expected of Chief Engineer.

I only ever hit straight shots!

Stroking the rim of the glass, Lin Shuang asked again, "And you?"

"What... what's wrong with me?" Jiang Luo asked, feigning ignorance.

Lin Shuang laughed out loud, "Your acting is a bit clumsy."

Jiang Luo frowned and said coquettishly, "Aren't you going to give me any face?"

Lin Shuang said softly, "I've already confessed everything, aren't you going to confess too?"

Too.

Treat your friends with honesty and sincerity.

Moreover, those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be punished severely.

Jiang Luo sighed heavily, "The situation is quite complicated right now, and I haven't figured it out yet."

That's the truth.

He Ziyan hasn't yet come up with a perfect solution for balancing her career and personal life.

"Because of work?" Lin Shuang immediately got to the point.

Jiang Luo was pleasantly surprised by their perfect understanding, "Yes!"

"If it's a work-related difficulty, you can talk to President He. The more you communicate, the more likely you are to find a solution," Lin Shuang said in a lighthearted tone.

Clearly, in her eyes, the conflict between career and love can be easily resolved.

Or perhaps, in her eyes, the conflict between career and love is not a problem at all.

However, Jiang Luo originally thought that Lin Shuang didn't want to date for the time being because of work, after all, SL was on the rise.

That doesn't seem to be the case.

What other reasons could cause Lin Shuang to not want to be in a relationship for the time being?

I racked my brains but still couldn't figure it out.

Sunlight streamed in, flowing quietly down Lin Shuang's back, making her appear as if she were enveloped in a transparent membrane, her silhouette indistinct.

Jiang Luo was stunned for a moment.

"Luo Luo?" Lin Shuang called out.

Jiang Luo raised her chin. "But this isn't just about me and He Ziyan, it's about other people too."

Lin Shuang struck at the heart of the matter again, "Little Lin disagrees, is that right?"

"How...how did you know?"

"I can guess. Kobayashi is your manager, and he definitely wants you to focus on your work, especially now that you've been quiet for half a year and your work is just starting to pick up. Compared to your personal life, your career needs you to take the lead."

"So... you support me not dating for now, but focusing all my energy on my work?" Jiang Luo felt slightly disappointed after hearing Lin Shuang say so many things to support Lin Heng.

"No." Lin Shuang poured Jiang Luo another cup of tea. "I neither support your relationship nor your single-minded focus on work. What I support is... you."

She added, "I support all your choices. Whatever decision you make, as long as you protect yourself, I will support you."

The tone is gentle, but the power in the words is immense.

Jiang Luo was moved and said earnestly, "Thank you."

There's nothing better than sisters in the world~

Children with sisters are treasures!

"Excuse me, we're here to serve the food."

The food was served, and the two ate and chatted.

Holding the wooden chopsticks, Lin Shuang picked up a slice of bamboo shoot, placed it in the bowl, and asked casually without touching it, "Luo Luo, I heard that recently a female celebrity... named Luo Nan, had some photos of her posted online. Do you know about this?"
