Chapter 705 Only Shen Anning Was Missed
Five years have passed, but Shen Anning still recognizes the woman at a glance.
Lin Yun.
Chen Anning slowed down her pace.
Five years have passed, and not only have she and Qi Yue changed, but Lin Yun has also changed a lot.
Wearing a bespoke business suit and sporting a neat and elegant ponytail, even the strands of her hair reveal how much this woman values skincare.
Her aloof demeanor perfectly suits her current role as the president of the Lin Group.
Qi Yue forgot about her, but what about Lin Yun?
Shen Anning doesn't mind Qi Yue forgetting her, but she does mind whether Qi Yue remembers Lin Yun.
Because Lin Yun liked Qi Yue, over the past five years, Lin's Group, as a subsidiary of Ronghao Group, has been protected by Ronghao Group and has risen rapidly through the ranks.
Two years ago, the Lin family renamed the company 'Yueyun Real Estate Company' and established a branch in a neighboring city to further expand the real estate market for Ronghao Group.
Although Yueyun and Ronghao had few projects together, Shen Anning knew that Ronghao held a group meeting once a month, in which all the heads of its subsidiaries had to attend.
Although Qi Yue had been expanding into new markets overseas for the past five years, and Rong Hao's side was managed by Qi Yue's aunt Anmi, Shen Anning knew that during those five years, Qi Yue would still make a special trip back to participate in the group's major decisions.
If we count once a year over five years, then Qi Yue and Lin Yun must have met at least five times.
She and Qi Yue hadn't seen each other once in five years.
Thinking of this, Shen Anning felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Qi Yue and Lin Yun were talking about something.
Both of them looked rather serious.
Shen Anning pursed her lips and walked towards them.
As she got closer, Shen Anning could finally hear Lin Yun's voice clearly: "Uncle Luo was afraid you would worry, so he kept it from you..."
"If you're sick, you should get treatment." Qi Yue's face was grim, his voice low but filled with anger: "You think you can get better on your own by hiding your illness from me?"
Shen Anning paused and looked at Qi Yue.
The man was tall and slender with a cold and aloof face. His custom-made suit accentuated his outstanding temperament and made him very eye-catching.
However, this outstanding and eye-catching man was currently surrounded by an extremely low aura.
"President Qi, I'm sorry, it was my oversight. I should have told you about Uncle Luo's condition immediately." Lin Yun's voice was soft, her eyes lowered. "I didn't handle this well, please punish me, but as for Uncle Luo... please don't say anything to him, he was just afraid you would worry."
Qi Yue pursed his lips and sighed, then raised his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows.
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Qi Yue was startled, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Anning.
The gloom on his face vanished, and the man strode towards her.
Lin Yun was taken aback, then turned her head and saw Shen Anning, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
But only for a moment, and she quickly calmed down.
However, when Lin Yun saw Qi Yue reach out and hug Shen Anning's slender waist, her slightly tightened fingers hanging at her side betrayed her jealousy.
Shen Anning witnessed this entire scene.
Qi Yue was unaware of the undercurrents between the two women.
He had one arm around Shen Anning's waist, and the other hand gently touched her slightly protruding pregnant belly. His voice was low and magnetic, "Didn't I tell you? You shouldn't come here while you're pregnant; there are too many germs in hospitals."
Shen Anning withdrew her gaze from Lin Yun and looked down at the large hand that was stroking her stomach in circles.
She smiled helplessly and gently patted the man's hand.
Qi Yue stopped what she was doing and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Their eyes met, and Shen Anning sighed softly, "You can't touch your belly in circles, or the baby's umbilical cord might get wrapped around its neck."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue immediately withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming more serious. "That's so dangerous, I'll be more careful in the future."
Shen Anning pursed her lips and turned to look at Lin Yun, "President Lin, you've come to see Uncle Luo too?"
Lin Yun met Shen Anning's gaze, neither humble nor arrogant, her red lips curving into a perfectly standard socialite smile: "Actually, Uncle Luo is my godfather. He's in the hospital, so as his goddaughter, it's only natural that I come to take care of him."
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning was rarely surprised!
When did Luo Dongjin and Lin Yun become so close?
Five years has indeed brought about a lot of changes.
"Mr. Lin was personally mentored by Uncle Luo. Uncle Luo is unmarried and has no children. Mr. Lin's father passed away early. Uncle Luo's cultivation and care for Mr. Lin made up for the lack of a father figure. A year ago, Mr. Lin's mother passed away due to illness. Uncle Luo felt sorry for Mr. Lin and proposed to recognize Mr. Lin as his goddaughter."
"I see." Shen Anning nodded slightly after hearing Qi Yue's explanation. "Uncle Luo and President Lin are destined to be together."
“My godfather takes good care of me.” Lin Yun looked at Shen Anning with a calm expression. “As his goddaughter, I am also very grateful that Madam came to see my godfather. It’s just a pity that my godfather just fell asleep.”
“It’s alright,” Shen Anning said. “I only came to see Uncle Luo for Qi Yue’s sake. Since Uncle Luo is resting, I won’t go in.”
"You're so thoughtful." Qi Yue took the fruit basket from her hands. "You're already here, why did you bring a fruit basket? You're pregnant now, don't carry heavy things."
"It's just a fruit basket, it's not that serious." Shen Anning looked at Qi Yue, her brows furrowing slightly. "I think I just heard you say that Uncle Luo is sick?"
"Okay." Qi Yue handed the fruit basket to Lin Yun. "My wife and I will go back first and contact me when Uncle Luo's test results are available."
"Okay." Lin Yun took the fruit basket, glanced at Shen Anning, and then turned and went straight into the ward.
Shen Anning, of course, did not miss this seemingly casual glance.
Shen Anning watched Lin Yun enter the ward before turning her gaze to Qi Yue, "Are you and President Lin very familiar with each other?"
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, staring at Shen Anning, "Is Mrs. Qi checking up on me?"
"I'm just curious," Shen Anning said calmly. "After all, I heard that she and you were alumni. You even went to great lengths to acquire Lin's Group for her sake. Now that she's become a female elite in the business world, you deserve the most credit, don't you?"
Qi Yue's brow twitched as he listened. "You believe all the nonsense the media writes?"
Shen Anning was waiting for his reaction. "Then tell me, what exactly is your relationship with this President Lin?"
"She was just an ordinary alumna. She was a year ahead of me. She started as an intern at Ronghao Group. Later, she was forced by her uncle to marry an old man. At that time, I was planning to acquire Lin's Group. She happened to ask me for help, so I went along with it and put on a show with her. She got rid of those bloodsucking uncles, and I took over Lin's Group."
When Qi Yue said these words, his tone was frank, and it was clear that he himself had no doubt about these memories.
Shen Anning stared at Qi Yue.
For a moment, I was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The events and timing match up, but one thing is missing: 'Chen Anning'.
Shen Anning lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the bitterness in her heart.
Looking up again, she said to Qi Yue, "The driver has gone back. You can take me home."
"Okay." Qi Yue didn't notice her emotions, put his arm around her waist, and turned to walk towards the elevator.
Neither of them noticed that the ward door behind them was not closed properly.
Through the barely visible crack in the door, Lin Yun stood there, her hands gripping the doorknob tightly, her eyes filled with excitement.
It seems she has stumbled upon a huge secret!
