"It's over, it's over."
Zhao Bo walked in, holding his phone with a serious expression, and handed it to Yi An.
"Qiong has issued a lawyer's letter, preparing to sue Lin Hui. Now there is a lot of public opinion online, and even our official account has been attacked by netizens."
When Yi'an saw this, the office erupted in chaos.
"Oh my god, Qiong has told Lin Hui!"
Suddenly, someone shouted at the computer.
Others followed suit, craning their necks and crowding around the computer.
"Where? Where?"
Upon seeing that news article and the heated comments now, everyone's face couldn't help but show a solemn expression.
"This is a serious matter. Mr. Yi, are you still going to protect Lin Hui all the time?"
"This must be true love."
Xiao Li clapped his hands in a "life-or-death" manner, exclaiming, "There is true affection and true love in the world!"
While everyone else was listless, Su Yan smiled, casually picked up her bag, and left work in her high heels.
"Aren't you going to think of a solution? Are you just going to keep waiting like this?"
Zhao Bo looked at Yi An, who was sitting motionless at her desk, and said anxiously.
The sun is about to set, and we still don't have a solution.
Yi An took a deep breath and was about to speak when the office door was pushed open.
"I'm the one who brought this on, so let me handle it."
The two looked over at the door, and there stood none other than Lin Hui.
Lin Hui glanced at Zhao Bo, but her gaze finally settled on Yi An.
"Brother An, sacrifice me."
Zhao Bo's face twitched slightly upon hearing her words.
Sister, this isn't a sacrifice, this is what you deserve.
He glanced at Yi An's expression, hesitated, and held back his words.
"You two can talk alone."
Before leaving, he added, "I hope we can reach a result that everyone wants to see."
Lin Hui gave a bitter smile. "The result that everyone hopes to see is that I will be completely disgraced."
"I promised Xiaobao I wouldn't let anything happen to you. Go back now."
Yi'an dismissed him casually, as if he were someone unimportant.
Lin Hui looked at his feigned nonchalance and shook her head firmly.
“No, Brother An, now is the time for me to protect you. Since Joan is determined to push you to the brink and kill you, I must stand up and protect you at this moment.”
Yi An's face remained expressionless upon hearing this.
Do you know what the outcome will be?
"I know." Lin Hui's face was somewhat bitter. She shrugged, trying to sound casual. "It's just losing this job. But compared to you, what does that matter?"
Zhao Bo, listening to the drawn-out, sarcastic remarks from outside the door, got goosebumps.
Sister, if you really want to help, you should just issue a statement. Why come here asking for opinions and trying to get attention?
The office door opened again, and Yi An walked out first, startling Zhao Bo, who couldn't hide to the side.
"Prepare a statement and contact Joan."
His words instantly caught Zhao Bo's eye.
"Okay!" he readily agreed.
Lin Hui followed Yi An with quick, light steps. "Brother An, can we have dinner together tonight? It's been so long since we ate together."
Perhaps fearing that Yi'an would refuse, she quickly added, "Consider it compensation for me."
Yi An wanted to refuse, but the words stuck in her throat. She couldn't spit them out or swallow them, so she could only say, "Okay."
Zhao Bo walked too fast and couldn't escape the impact of her attack.
He clicked his tongue twice, watching Yi An reluctantly follow him away.
"The child is still too inexperienced."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Hui felt overjoyed as she felt the unique aura of Yi An beside her.
If she had known that it would be so easy to gain Yi An's trust, she would have done it long ago and wouldn't have wasted so much effort.
It seems that from now on, she will have to hold onto Xiao Bao as her trump card tightly.
While cutting the steak in her hand, Lin Hui kept glancing at Yi An across from her.
"Brother An, it's so nice to be able to sit down and eat with you like this. If Xiao Bao saw us like this, he would be very happy too."
She kept talking to herself, her face full of happiness and excitement.
"From now on, we must buy a small table for our family. The three of us eating together close together is the most delicious way to eat!"
Yi'an had been completely unresponsive until she heard this sentence.
His hand holding the knife froze, and he slowly lowered it.
"Lin Hui".
He called out.
"ah?"
Lin Hui looked up in surprise, her eyes sparkling.
Yi An lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then came up with a more prudent explanation.
“I admit that I had some prejudice against you in the past because of some things about Ms. Meng, and I know that it was not your fault.”
As Lin Hui listened, her breathing became more and more rapid; she was anticipating something.
Unfortunately, Yi'an changed the subject.
"If you can continue like this, we can still be friends."
When Lin Hui heard the word "friend," her smile froze for a moment, but then returned to normal.
She nodded and said dryly, "Okay, friend."
Yi An felt the atmosphere suddenly freeze, but he still didn't regret his words.
It's best to clarify things as soon as possible to avoid harboring unnecessary thoughts.
Lin Hui kept her head down, tapping her plate with her fork absentmindedly. After a while, she suddenly raised her head.
"Brother An, do you know? Actually, being a designer is my lifelong dream."
As she said this, tears welled up in her eyes, catching Yi'an off guard.
Lin Hui tried to smile, but as soon as she smiled, tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.
"But Brother An, I can give up my dream for you."
Yi An was stunned, then immediately said, "If that's the case, then I'll call Zhao Bo and ask him to withdraw the statement."
Lin Hui was startled, then immediately stood up and pressed his hand down.
“Brother An, I’m not saying this to get anything from you. I just want you to know that my feelings for you are not just simple infatuation. You are the only one in my eyes and in my heart. Of course, don’t feel guilty. I just wanted to tell you.”
Yi An stared at her for a long time before subtly withdrawing her hand.
“If you really don’t want me to feel burdened, you shouldn’t have asked.”
Lin Hui forced a smile and sat back down in her seat.
"I know I was wrong, just this once."
She winked playfully, then smoothly changed the subject: "Do you have time this weekend? Let's go to the amusement park with Xiaobao. He's been talking about it a lot lately, saying you promised him."
Yi An originally said those words just to appease Yi Kangle at the time, but she didn't expect him to really remember them.
After all, he had already agreed, and it wouldn't be good for Yi Kangle to go back on his word.
Yi An thought about it briefly and then agreed.
"good."
