Chapter 161 One shouldn't be too greedy.
Ye Qingning, with her porcelain-white face full of smiles, had exquisite yet not glamorous makeup, and under the light, she looked exceptionally elegant and gentle.
Lin Feiyan's heart stirred. Holding the gift box she had given him, he said in a deep voice, "Thank you."
He actually wanted to hug her more, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Today is my birthday, can you give me a hug?"
Ye Qingning felt a sudden pang of sadness. She could clearly see the expectation hidden in the man's eyes, but she really wasn't in the mood.
Besides, I'm leaving tomorrow, so what's the point of this hug?
So she smiled and said, "Today I gave you a sports car worth millions, a handmade pen holder, and such a heartwarming birthday party, so Mr. Lin, one shouldn't be too greedy."
Lin Feiyan gazed at her with his deep eyes, a tender smile curving his lips, and whispered, "Actually, the gift I want most is you."
When their eyes met, Ye Qingning could clearly see the burning passion in his eyes. She hurriedly looked away and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I'm a little tired. I want to go upstairs to sleep."
Her answer was within Lin Feiyan's expectations, but hearing it actually spoken aloud still left him with a slightly bitter taste in his mouth: "Alright, go ahead. Goodnight, Mrs. Lin."
After a moment of silence, Ye Qingning waved to him: "Goodbye."
Seeing her slender, graceful figure enveloped in that beautiful dress, he called out to her again, "Mrs. Lin..."
Ye Qingning paused, stopped, and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Lin Feiyan raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice low and gentle: "Your dress is the original."
Ye Qingning's heart skipped a beat, and a strange sense of panic welled up inside her. She nodded and hurried upstairs.
His back view looked like he was fleeing in panic.
Lin Feiyan tapped the gift box with his fingertips, then smiled with his eyes lowered.
Of course, Lin Feiyan's woman should be given the most precious things.
His gaze swept around the room, taking in every detail that Ye Qingning had meticulously arranged, and his heart grew even happier.
Since she came to manage the house, it has truly become a home.
He smiled and opened the gift box, revealing a pen holder that was almost identical to the original.
As soon as he wheeled himself into the study, Lin Feiyan threw the old pen holder directly into the trash can. He kissed the pen holder in his hand and placed it neatly on the table.
...
Meanwhile, Jian Yan, who was still on her way back, was going through a headache and then the process of it subsiding. Chen Ci had seen her condition before and was used to it.
Once her complexion returned to normal, Chen Ci tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and said calmly, "Your symptoms are strange, but I think I can figure out the cause."
"Really?" Jian Yan leaned back in her chair, her gaze somewhat unfocused. "What's the reason?"
"Is it related to the boss?" Chen Ci asked, his gaze sharp as he looked at her.
Jian Yan smiled and said, "And then?"
“I don’t know the specific reason, I can only come to this conclusion,” Chen Ci explained. “Your headache symptoms will appear when you leave the boss, and there is a certain distance limit. Once you are beyond that distance, the headache will not occur.”
Jian Yan looked up at him, a smile playing on her lips: "You're a doctor, don't you think your conclusions are very unscientific?"
“There are many things in this world that science cannot explain,” Chen Ci said in a deep tone. “For example, your frequent suicide attempts in the past.”
Jian Yan looked at him and said, "Stop speculating about me, it's pointless... Don't you think Qing Ning's behavior is a bit off today?"
"Yes." Chen Ci's eyes dimmed a little when he mentioned this: "It's strange. She was very happy when she prepared these surprises for the boss. Her eyes were full of joy. I don't know why she looks a little depressed today."
"Yes." Jian Yan paused for a moment and then asked, "What kind of person is Lin Feiyan? Will Qing Ning be happy with him?"
“Boss…” Chen Ci paused for a moment, “Many people wouldn’t be happy with you, but I believe Miss Ye will be the exception.”
Jian Yan's heart sank: "So he's not a good match for Qing Ning... She's so wonderful, she shouldn't have to bear this burden..."
After a moment of silence, Chen Ci smiled and said, "A good match is simply two people who are compatible with each other. If one person is willing to change for the other, that is also a kind of compatibility. I believe that you and Miss Ye will adapt to each other."
Jian Yan's gaze drifted to the window, looking at the strangely unfamiliar world in the hazy night. She sighed softly, "But will Lin Feiyan change?"
He should be the kind of person who is obsessive and indifferent.
The kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
“Yes, I will.” Chen Ci’s tone was firm: “If he can’t do it, I will help him. If I can’t do it either, Miss Lin will help him.”
Jian Yan didn't say anything more, only her gaze drifted into the distance.
If possible, she would like to do her part, however small.
...
The next morning, Ye Qingning made an excuse that she was a little tired and did not get up for breakfast. Lin Feiyan specially arranged for Aunt Qin to make her seafood dumpling soup and veal steak.
Ye Qingning was indeed a little hungry. While eating, she asked, "Where is Mr. Lin?"
"They've set off," Aunt Qin said. "They seem quite busy. Chen Chu arrived before we'd even finished eating, saying he won't be back for lunch or dinner."
Ye Qingning smiled and said, "Um... Aunt Qin, you can go ahead and do your work. I'll take the dishes downstairs myself after I finish eating."
"Okay." Aunt Qin left without thinking much about it.
