Chapter 88 She has already given the answer.
After changing her clothes, Anmi held them tightly in her hands and took them to the laundry room to wash.
The man insisted on coming over to help, but she pushed him away forcefully.
After washing and hanging the clothes to dry, she went to the living room.
The sound of the range hood came from the kitchen.
Yan Jinnian stood in front of the stove, flipping the spatula, his back view looking both tall and reassuring.
Anmi stood there quietly for a while, then went to the small restaurant and sat down.
When Yan Jinnian came out with a bowl, he saw her sitting obediently at the dining table waiting.
He raised the corners of his lips: "The only quick option is noodles."
A bowl of noodle soup with a fried egg on top was placed in front of Anmi.
He put down his chopsticks: "Eat quickly."
Anmi looked at the noodles in the bowl for a while, then looked up at him.
"What's wrong?" A smile appeared in the man's eyes.
What are you staring at like an idiot for?
He pulled up a chair and sat down next to her.
Anmi's gaze followed him intently.
"Yan Jinnian..." she called out gently.
"Um?"
Anmi didn't say anything, but opened her arms to him.
The man immediately understood, and with his large hands he lifted her onto his lap.
Anmi wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative since returning from Australia.
Yan Jinnian hugged her back tightly, afraid that she would disappear again if he wasn't careful.
My arms tightened, but I didn't dare to use too much force.
A feeling of happiness mixed with bittersweetness welled up inside me.
"Baby..." He gently kissed Anmi's earlobe and asked that question.
"You love me too, don't you?"
Anmi didn't answer, but just hugged him even tighter.
Two beating hearts pressed together made a thumping sound.
Powerful, in sync.
She has already given the answer.
…
The two hugged quietly for a while.
Yan Jinnian released his grip and lifted the small face of the person in his arms.
"This was my fault. I shouldn't have hidden my identity from you."
"It's my fault for not putting myself in your shoes and for not considering your feelings. Baby, I will not hide anything from you from now on, and there will be no more secrets between us."
Anmi looked into his eyes and said softly, "You promised last time you wouldn't take my clothes off..."
Yan Jinnian was amused by her sudden remark, and ruffled her hair helplessly, saying, "Baby..."
"That's different."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and a look of grievance crossed his face.
"You're still talking about me? Do you remember what you said last time?"
He reminded me: "The night I gave you the roses."
“…” Anmi lowered her head guiltily.
Her chin was hooked and lifted by his fingertips; the man had no intention of letting her go.
"What did they say again?"
Anmi swung her legs and repeated, "I apologize. I shouldn't have blocked you without saying a word. When problems arose, I should have communicated with you directly instead of giving you the silent treatment..."
Yan Jinnian bit her small nose.
"Little liar."
"Ouch!" An Mi groaned in pain.
She rubbed her nose: "But... I really thought you were going to marry her..."
Yan Jinnian pinched her cheek: "Don't believe anything I didn't say myself."
Anmi: "But Qiuqiu said your mother wants her to marry you..."
Yan Jinnian's eyes darkened for a moment, and he loosened his grip on her face.
"My body is controlled by my own will, and so is my life."
"Similarly, I make my own decisions about my marriage; no one can decide for me."
He lowered his head, pressed his forehead against hers, and said in a low, husky voice, "Baby, in this world, only you can decide my marriage."
"Please don't leave me without a word again, okay?"
Their foreheads touched, their breaths mingled, their heartbeats mingled; at that moment, no one could be closer to each other.
An Mi's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Yan Jinnian with clear eyes: "Okay."
"Don't ignore me anymore and stay angry by yourself."
"good."
"Don't just trust others and not me."
“…” Anmi felt that she had committed a terrible sin.
"sorry…"
She said, "I have committed a capital offense."
She grabbed his hand and made an 'eight' sign, then pointed her index finger at her forehead and sobbed, "Just shoot me."
A smile appeared in Yan Jinnian's eyes.
He gently stroked the bridge of her nose with his index finger: "I can't do something as cruel as executing you, but..."
"I can punish you by making you work as my secretary for a month to make amends."
Anmi: "Huh?"
She looked miserable: "Do I really have to be a secretary?"
Yan Jinnian raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, I'm starting to think the secretary and boss dynamic is quite interesting, a contractual relationship... Baby, do you remember our previous contract?"
Ugh! They're bringing up this tonic again!
Anmi covered his mouth: "Don't say anymore."
"Heh..." Yan Jinnian kissed her palm. "Okay, I won't say anymore."
"Let's eat first, we still need to go back to the company after we eat."
He lifted her off his lap.
Anmi reluctantly picked up her chopsticks: "Then what about my resignation?"
"Let's discuss it again."
Anmi: "Huh???"
Why?
You didn't say that in the room just now!
snort( )
…
After finishing their meal, the two returned to the company.
Yan Jinnian had a meeting in the afternoon, so Anmi stayed in his office organizing forms.
After completing the form, she used his computer to browse job websites.
I also downloaded a Minesweeper game for him during that time.
Yan Jinnian didn't return from the meeting until 6:30.
Anmi said to him, "The forms are all done, I'm going home now."
"Then let's go home."
Anmi shook her head: "I'm not going back, I'm going to Caicai's place."
"Are you going to pick up Mimi? I'll drive you there."
"no…"
"?"
Yan Jinnian frowned: "Baby, didn't we agree not to be angry?"
Anmi gripped the strap of her handbag: "I'm not angry. I was just thinking of staying there one more night and coming back tomorrow."
She explained earnestly, "Cai Cai has taken good care of me these past two days. To make me happy, she bought me lots of delicious food and stayed by my side the whole time. We haven't lived together for a long time, so I can't just go back to get my things and leave just because we've made up. That wouldn't be right."
She came over and took his hand: "I'll only stay for one day, then I'll move back tomorrow, okay?"
Yan Jinnian's brows relaxed, and he chuckled, "Since you've put it that way, how could I stop you from going?"
He pulled the person into his arms: "I'll take you there."
"good."
…
After a one-hour drive, we arrived at Tang Cai's apartment.
An Mi asked Yan Jinnian to wait for her downstairs while she went upstairs to bring Mimi and Niannian down.
Mimi is quite well-behaved here, but Niannian is really too naughty, always digging Tang Cai's cosmetic bottles on the ground.
I've been here for two days and I've already broken three bottles of foundation.
Anmi was worried that if things continued like this, Tang Cai wouldn't be able to put on makeup, so she had no choice but to send it home first.
After seeing Mimi and Nian off, she and Tang Cai snuggled in bed and whispered to each other.
"So you made up with him?"
Anmi nodded: "Mm."
"Oh dear!" Tang Cai slapped her thigh.
"I was just talking about you two..."
Anmi asked in confusion, "The two of us?"
Tang Cai: "You two are a perfect match!"
Anmi: "How did you figure that out?"
She just felt that he was a better match for the person in the photo.
After Tang Cai learned that Yan Jinnian was Wanqiu's older brother, she understood why Wanqiu had been so upset these past two days.
“Mizi…” She hugged Anmi’s arm.
"I know you have a Cinderella mentality right now, but didn't Cinderella end up with the prince?"
"A perfect ending is not just for perfect people. No matter what kind of person she is, she has the equal right to love, be loved and be happy."
"You must remember that inferiority cannot lead you to happiness; only courage can."
An Mi looked at her and said, "Elder Tang is absolutely right."
Tang Cai snorted: "You're just too timid! You were in college, and you are now. Honey, you really need to change. If you keep acting like this, how can your best friend follow you to success in the future?"
Anmi chuckled, "Then let's be two little cowards and have a good time."
Tang Cai: "No, no! I can be a loser, but you must be with the prince."
Her expression was serious: "Honey, you deserve happiness."
"Hmph~" Anmi grumbled and hugged her, the two little 'good-for-nothings' holding hands. "Caicai, you too, and Wanqiu, the three of us will be happy together."
"good."
"Let's eat something delicious together."
"Hmm, let's eat something delicious together... Oh! I suddenly remembered there's a cake in the fridge!"
"..."
"Want to eat?"
"eat!"
"Come on! Oh, by the way, there's a night market street nearby. It's a pity I didn't have time to take you there these past couple of days..."
"Let's go tomorrow!"
"real?"
"Um!"
…
So the next day after get off work, Anmi once again picked up her shoulder bag.
"I made plans with Cai Cai last night to go to her local night market, so I'm off!"
Before Yan Jinnian could even take the notebook off his lap, he had already vanished.
"?"
…
The third day was near the end of the workday.
Anmi: "There's an anime convention in the East District today! Cai Cai and I bought tickets at Chou Tuan. We need to get in at 7:30. I'm off!"
Yan Jinnian: "??"
…
Half an hour before the end of the workday on the fourth day.
Just as An Mi was about to shut down her computer, she saw Yan Jinnian slowly walk over and place a voice recorder on the table.
"Secretary An, please compile the meeting minutes from this afternoon and send them to me."
Before Anmi could answer, he leisurely sat down on the sofa.
"Overtime pay will be five times the normal rate. I need to see results tonight. If it's not finished..."
"No, you are not allowed to leave work."
Anmi: "???"
