Chapter 208: Goddaughter



"What do you mean?"

I felt a little bit ridiculous. I didn't expect that the scene in the TV series would actually appear in front of me.

but……

Isn’t it too shabby to just give her a necklace?

It is said that other families just write checks directly.

Han Zhilin smiled faintly, as if he was somewhat helpless. "Although my relationship with him is not very good, he is my son after all. I hope his life will get better and better, but I don't want him to be with... you."

"Because I'm divorced?"

"Yes."

“Do you discriminate against divorced people?”

"Of course not. On the contrary, I respect this kind of woman. She dares to face the misfortune in marriage and dares to break free from this shackle and find a new life and self. This is something admirable."

He talked freely.

The look in his eyes when he looked at me was full of admiration.

"But this doesn't mean I want my son to be with a woman like this. After all, you've already been married once, and my son is still single. I think he has the right and the right to find a girl as innocent as he is."

"Understood."

What this means is simply that after going through the trials of marriage, my background and personality have become more complex.

This is also a kind of subtle disparagement.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a big shot.

It was obvious that every word he said was praising me, but his attitude was particularly clear.

"I don't want your necklace anymore."

I turned and walked towards the door.

Mr. Han's voice came from behind.

"So you promised me?"

"How do you want me to agree? I'm working in the same studio with Team Leader Han now, so we're so close that we'll see each other sooner or later. If you want us to never see each other again, that might be difficult."

I turned around and asked him.

"That's not necessary. I know you're a very capable woman." Han Zhilin said with a smile, "I just hope you can reject him when he confesses his feelings to you."

I looked at him seriously.

"You are so cruel."

"You're too kind. I don't want to hurt you, nor do I want to hurt Han Qi, but I also know very well that you two are not suitable to be together."

I said calmly, "Mr. Han, being so high and mighty, has he ever criticized his own feelings?"

The smile on Han Zhilin's face faded for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

"It seems you already know everything about me." He laughed. "This kid really didn't hide anything from you. So the decision I made today... seems to be the right one."

"We're friends and colleagues." I met his gaze and said calmly, "Actually, you don't need to say all this to me today. I never planned to find a boyfriend anyway."

I have so many things on my hands right now, how can I have the time and energy to fall in love?

What's more, the shadow cast by my previous marriage has not completely faded away yet.

To be honest, making friends is okay.

If you really want me to develop a relationship or even get married, I respectfully decline.

Han Zhilin smiled with satisfaction, "I knew you were a smart girl. You don't need me to be too blunt. You can understand what I mean."

"Hasn't what you said been straightforward enough?"

If you were more blunt, you would have told me to get lost.

Han Zhilin sighed, "If what I said caused you any harm, I apologize."

"No, I'm leaving now."

He caught up again and said, "You should accept this necklace. I'm not going to abandon you and my son. Actually, I really like you. I should say I admire you very much. If you are willing, I can recognize you as my goddaughter."

When I heard the word "goddaughter", my whole body tensed up.

That's not a nice word.

But I also knew he didn't mean anything else.

But that doesn't stop me from finding the word scary.

"No, thank you, but I don't think Han Qi would like me to do this."

If he secretly became my father's godson.

I think I'll be pissed off.

"Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you." Han Zhilin smiled faintly, "But I hope you can understand that I have no ill will towards you."

I don't quite understand why he keeps insisting that he has no ill will towards me.

He seemed very worried that I would misunderstand him.

Since he doesn't agree with me and Han Qi being "together", there's no need for him to please me, right?

"Mr. Han, please speak frankly."

He was silent for a moment. "I know you have a good relationship with my son. He should listen to you. I hope you can help me persuade him."

I really don't know what to say.

This gentleman is also quite interesting.

"I'll try my best."

"Then I'll trouble you. With you mediating, I believe our relationship will be reconciled soon."

I curled my lips and turned away.

When they got downstairs, Han Qi's face was full of worry, "What did he say to you?"

"He said he wanted to give me a meeting gift, but I didn't want it."

"Yes, I don't want his things."

"Don't worry, have you finished discussing everything?"

"We've finished the discussion." Han Qi sighed. "This project is just like what we discussed. It's not that easy to do. It requires a lot of money, and secondly, a lot of effort... Our company has too few people available, so we'll have to take over later."

"Isn't that what was decided at the beginning?"

I had long thought that this project was difficult and would require both of us to give our all and might even be exhausted to the point of paralysis, so now I don’t find it difficult to accept.
