Chapter 615 Lin Yun Has Feelings for Qi Yue
Shen Anning's brow twitched.
She rushed forward in one stride, and almost simultaneously, Qi Yue quickly took a step back.
Lin Yun fell into Shen Anning's arms.
"..."
Shen Anning helped Lin Yun up, "What happened?"
"My uncle invited me here, saying he wanted to talk to me, but when I entered the private room I realized I'd been tricked. That Mr. Zhang has a wife, and he... he wants to..."
Lin Yun didn't say what came next, but Shen Anning and Qi Yue could guess it.
How are you now? Are you injured?
Lin Yun's face turned pale. "I...I think I twisted my ankle..."
Her voice trembled, and her hand holding Shen Anning's was also shaking.
Shen Anning frowned; Lin Yun's reaction didn't seem like an act.
She had learned self-defense techniques, so she was fully capable of protecting Lin Yun in this situation. However, since Qi Yue was there, she subconsciously looked at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue gave her a reassuring look, "I'll handle it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning looked at Lin Yun and said, "Let's go into the private room first."
Lin Yun nodded.
Shen Anning helped her into the private room.
The door to the private room closed, and Shen Anning helped Lin Yun sit down in a chair.
Lin Yun looked at Shen Anning and said gratefully, "Miss Shen, thank you."
"You're too kind. Anyone would have helped in this situation, especially since you're Qi Yue's senior and Rong Hao's employee. Qi Yue couldn't possibly stand idly by."
Shen Anning squatted down and said, "Let me take a look at your foot injury."
"No, no need!" Lin Yun hurriedly grabbed Shen Anning's arm. "Get up quickly..."
"It's nothing." Shen Anning looked up at her. "Let me see. If it's serious, we still need to go to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun stopped struggling.
Shen Anning examined her injuries.
My ankle is indeed swollen.
"It would be better to go to the hospital." She stood up, and as soon as she finished speaking, the door to the private room behind her was pushed open.
Qi Yue walked in.
Shen Anning turned around and glanced outside; there was nothing there.
She took a few steps forward and reached out to grasp Qi Yue's arm. "Where is that person?"
Lin Yun sat in the chair, looking at Qi Yue, silently clenching the hem of her skirt.
“He knows me.” Qi Yue didn’t look at her; his gaze had been fixed on Shen Anning ever since he entered the room.
“I told him that Lin Yun works at Ronghao, and he understood without me having to say anything more.”
Lin Yun's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Is Qi Yue openly protecting her?
Overwhelmed with emotion, Lin Yun stood up, supporting herself on the dining table. "President Qi, thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue turned his gaze to Lin Yun, the doting look in his eyes instantly fading, replaced by a formulaic indifference, "Secretary Lin, you don't need to be so polite."
Lin Yun pursed her lips and looked down at the ground.
A hint of melancholy crept into his eyes.
The words "Secretary Lin" shattered any remaining hope in her heart.
She thought that she was at least a classmate of Qi Yue.
"Qi Yue, Senior Lin has sprained her ankle. I think it would be better to take her to the hospital to get it checked out."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue's gaze swept towards Lin Yun's ankle.
Before he could speak, Lin Yun hurriedly said, "It's just a minor injury, Miss Shen, President Qi. Thank you so much for today. I have to get back to the company now. I'll treat you to dinner another day. I won't disturb your meal any longer. I'll be going now!"
She bowed to Qi Yue and Shen Anning to express her gratitude, and then walked directly towards the door.
However, as she walked to Qi Yue's side, her figure suddenly swayed—
"ah……"
Lin Yun gasped softly, about to fall. Qi Yue frowned, afraid she would fall into his arms, and reached out to support her arm.
With that same movement, Lin Yun's hands naturally grabbed his forearms.
She gripped it tightly through her suit jacket, wrinkling the black suit fabric.
Qi Yue frowned, his face darkening.
Shen Anning stared at Lin Yun's hands that were holding Qi Yue, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Before she could think it through, Lin Yun had already let go of her hand in a flustered manner, staggered back a few steps to the side, and after barely regaining her balance, she lowered her head and apologized, "President Qi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just lost my footing..."
As she spoke, she looked up at Shen Anning, her pale face and reddened eyes. "Miss Shen, please don't be angry. I didn't mean to touch President Qi."
Shen Anning looked at Lin Yun and thought Lin Yun's reaction was quite strong.
She hasn't said anything yet.
Qi Yue walked to Shen Anning's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "Go sit down and order some food. It's getting late, you must be hungry."
He looked at her, his voice gentle and doting.
Shen Anning glanced at him and nodded, "Okay, then I'll order first."
She turned around, walked to the dining table, sat down, and leisurely picked up the menu next to her and began to browse through it.
From that moment on, she no longer spared a single glance for Lin Yun.
Because Lin Yun is not worthy.
Although Shen Anning was well protected by her family since childhood, she was not a naive and innocent girl. Although she was not spoiled, she was proud. Although she was approachable, she was not someone that could be easily manipulated or schemed against by just anyone.
Girls mature earlier than boys. Starting in fourth or fifth grade, Shen Anning experienced some rich girls who, out of jealousy of her excellence, secretly spoke ill of her and plotted against her.
This situation persisted until high school, so Shen Anning was used to it.
Shen Anning never caused trouble, but she wasn't afraid of trouble either. If something happened, she would never rely on her parents and brother if she could handle it herself. If she really couldn't handle it, she wouldn't wrong herself. When it was time for her parents and brother to step in, she would never try to be a hero.
Even though 19-year-old Shen Anning was inexperienced in the ways of the world, Fu Siyan had been intentionally cultivating her rational thinking since she was a child, and she had indeed inherited Fu Siyan's intelligence.
So at this moment, Lin Yun's little scheme, which she thought she had hidden very well, was actually seen through by Shen Anning long ago.
Because she saw through him, when Qi Yue asked her to order food, she understood that Qi Yue had also seen through Lin Yun.
Lin Yun has feelings for Qi Yue.
Now that she is Rong Hao's intern secretary and has feelings for Qi Yue, Shen Anning believes that, both publicly and privately, Qi Yue should handle the matter.
Qi Yue's approach was very formulaic.
He called over a waiter and asked him to help Lin Yun downstairs to hail a taxi. He also granted Lin Yun the afternoon off.
His actions demonstrated both consideration for his employees as a boss and a good sense of proportion.
Shen Anning secretly gave Qi Yue a score of 10 in her heart!
She knew Qi Yue wouldn't let her down!
With Lin Yun's matter resolved, the two resumed their dates.
Although it took some time, Shen Anning felt that it wasn't entirely fruitless.
At least, she thought Qi Yue's way of handling things this time was very manly.
Feeling sweet inside, Shen Anning ordered a serving of sweet fermented rice balls.
After that, she ordered several dishes according to her and Qi Yue's dietary preferences.
“I’ve ordered,” she said, pushing the menu across to Qi Yue, who had just sat down. “Is there anything else you’d like to add?”
"Okay." Qi Yue took the menu, glanced at it, and put it down. "It's fine, that's all."
...
After finishing lunch, it was almost 2 p.m., so the two headed straight to the beach.
On the way, Shen Anning opened WeChat and saw a friend request.
It is Lin Yun.
