Chapter 119: Unspoken Mutual Understanding

  Oh dear, it seems the website still hasn't resolved the backend issue. The chapter scheduled for 9 o'clock wasn't published either. I just got back from being busy with my left hand and hurriedly manually published it! Sorry to keep you all waiting!

  When Liu Danghua heard Qian Hu's words, he slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Qian Hu with a gaze. He slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and put it to his mouth. Qian Hu quickly pulled out a lighter and lit it for Liu Danghua, displaying a fawning and flattering demeanor.

  Liu Danghua nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, it's a small matter. After the young master of the Ma family arrives in Fu Yang City, you'll follow me. However, you must remember that there can be no mistakes in between, and I don't need to tell you what kind of powerful existence the young master of the Ma family is."

  Upon hearing this, Qian Hu's face revealed an extremely excited expression, nodding and bowing repeatedly: "Yes yes yes! You can rest assured, Hua Ge! I, Qian Hu, will absolutely not let you or Uncle Liu lose face!"

  "Hmm." Liu Danghua nodded slightly with a hint of arrogance, then fell silent, puffing on his cigarette, his eyes gazing out the window at the twinkling lights of the buildings flashing by. His mind was also constantly turning, thinking about how to impress that young master Ma and increase his impression points, so that the young master would look up to him.

  …………

  The next day, at noon.

  Lorraine and a stunning beauty sat inside a Sichuan restaurant, chatting and laughing as they ate their meal.

  "Sister Yan, don't you think we have a great fate? I didn't expect to come to Baiyang City and still be able to sit together and eat from time to time." Luolin said with a smile, putting a peanut in her mouth.

  Jiang Yan glanced at Luo Lin with a hint of joy on her face, but said: "Cut it out, who's interested. You're only here for a month, and the high school cram course you signed up for is closed management. I reckon this is our last meal together in the next month. As for me, sister, I've been officially transferred to work in Baiyang City, and it'll take at least one or two years before I can be transferred again."

  Lorraine shrugged and said casually, "Well, Sister Yan, next time you're transferred, why don't you come to Yanjing? I'll cover all your food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation." As she spoke, she patted her own chest.

  "Go ahead, this is what you said." Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, "When the time comes and I really go to Yanjing, don't try to back out...". As she spoke, a hint of gloominess flashed across her face, and she changed the subject, "But Little Lin... are you sure you want to go to Yanjing for college? ...and plan to take the entrance exam for Jinghua University... You really have guts, rich second-generation kids are just different, with money, schools can be casually chosen."

  "Sister Yan, don't talk nonsense. Our pure and sacred learning career is not as shameful as you said. I am going to rely on my own strength to get in." Luolin suddenly put on a serious face.

  "Alright, I'll believe you for now." Jiang Yan didn't plan on wasting her thoughts on whether Luo Lin would be able to get into Beijing University based on his actual abilities. What she was really concerned about was that Yanjing seemed to have two other women who were just as beautiful and charming as herself. If Luo Lin went to study at Beijing University, he would be there for at least four years, and with the Luo Corporation successfully entering the capital and planning for long-term development, wouldn't he soon forget about her with all the beauties by his side?

  As she thought of these things, Jiang Yan didn't realize that her eyes had become somewhat vacant. Thinking that there was still a month's time before the college entrance exam ended and Luo Lin would soon be leaving for Yanzheng, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, stuck in her throat and suffocating her chest.

  "Jiang Yan... what's wrong?" Luo Lin noticed Jiang Yan's slightly distracted and worried expression, and couldn't help but raise his hand in front of her eyes, asking in surprise, "How did you suddenly space out? Is the workload on the Baiyang City side a bit heavy at the moment?"

  Jiang Yan snapped back to reality, seeing Luo Lin's handsome face that had been in front of her for almost a year, and felt another wave of melancholy. She thought to herself: "Ah, oh, no, no... it's just that I probably didn't get enough rest last night. The workload here is okay, similar to the city bureau in Zongzhou."

  "Didn't sleep well last night?" Lorraine smiled and said, "Are you thinking of me and can't sleep? If that's the case, then I won't go back to school tonight, take a leave, and we'll find a place to stay together for one night, how about it?" At the end, she also winked at Jiang Yan, obviously joking and teasing.

  "Who would have thought that Jiang Yan slightly paused, and then actually nodded seriously, with a blush on her face: "Okay...... But this is your first day of reporting for duty, can you easily ask for leave?......""

  Luo Lin was drinking tea when Jiang Yan's words almost choked him. He looked up to see the subtle sparkle in her eyes and a faint blush on her cheeks, and he deeply understood one fact: Jiang Yan had feelings for him!

  Good girl, it's all over... The cold and beautiful Jiang Da police flower has melted the iceberg...

  Looking at Jiang Yan's eyes, which seemed to be shimmering with a hint of misty haze, Luolin felt as if he was in a dream. He had never seen Jiang Yan with this expression before. To be honest, this was the first time he saw Jiang Yan reveal such a passionate gaze towards him under normal circumstances.

  In an instant, Lorrine's heart also skipped a beat, not just a simple skip, but a palpitation!! It was the captivating sight of Jiang Yan's face, with her cheeks flushed, eyes dazed, and skin as white as snow, that stirred up this commotion in his heart! Danger, danger! Since his rebirth, Lorrine hadn't felt such strong emotions for a long time. Not even when he was with Qin Wanru or Song Meiyan did he feel this way. Perhaps... it was because Qin Wanru had a deep entanglement with him from their past life, and Song Meiyan's feelings were more one-sided, whereas the affection that had grown between him and Jiang Yan over time made his heart flutter even more.

  Because, the longer you are together, the more unintentional it becomes. This is more like a kind of gentle emotional infiltration, which unknowingly occupies your entire heart, just like a warm palm, suddenly plucking your heartstrings when you are off guard, causing your blood vessels to rapidly expand, and instantly releasing a large amount of "pheromones" (a hormone component that the human body can produce, which appears in everyone's body at the moment they fall in love) in your body. Once pheromones are produced, people will have a series of emotional feelings such as heartbeat, first love, infatuation, and ambiguity, making their faces red, hearts racing, and breathing rapid.

  The feeling of growing affection over time is often relative. Jiang Yan gradually developed more and more intense love for Luo Lin, while Luo Lin, as he gradually felt Jiang Yan's love, naturally began to develop some feelings without realizing it. However, Luo Lin had lived two lifetimes and his mental age was quite mature, so he didn't fall as deeply and quickly as Jiang Yan did.

  Actually, Lorraine thought seriously about it and realized that a lot of things had happened between him and Jiang Yan. From the beginning, when he first met Jiang Yan at the school gate, he took advantage of her identity and left a big mess for her to clean up. Later, some other things happened, such as the aftermath of the crisis with Song Meiyan and Qin Wanshu. At that time, Jiang Yan showed great loyalty, regardless of whether she was really trying to save face for her sister's husband or genuinely wanted to help Lorraine. In any case, Jiang Yan had a very good impression of Lorraine after that incident, and the whole process clearly showed that Lorraine was a man who valued relationships, righteousness, and courageously took responsibility, even though he was still just a young kid.

  From then on, Jiang Yan and Luo Lin could be considered as formally acquainted.

  Later, one thing after another brought their relationship closer and closer, until they called each other siblings, until their conversations became more frequent, until Lorrain and she seemed to have a good fate together in Baiyang City. Although the two people didn't say it out loud, in their hearts, they had already developed some unusual feelings for each other. This was not fake at all. If Lorrain were to suddenly separate from Jiang Yan, he would really feel very uncomfortable and his heart would feel empty.

  "Cough, cough... that...". At this time, neither of them spoke for a while, the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous, and both people's hearts were racing with unspoken thoughts. Even Luolin's face turned slightly red, which made him hurriedly clear his throat to change the subject, "Say, what about it, sister Yan? Later, let's go to Liusu Street? I heard that a new shopping mall has opened up in Baiyang City, and it's really bustling inside. Let's go there?"

  Jiang Yan knew that Luo Lin had once again brought out his skill of diverting the topic, and she looked slightly unhappy, her slender eyebrows furrowed, still with a hint of unusual sparkle in her eyes, her silver teeth lightly biting, her fair and lovely face even more flushed: "No way, you must answer my previous question, don't try to change the subject again. Hmph, you little scoundrel, I'm not like those little girls by your side who are easily deceived, tell me honestly, what you said earlier, was it serious?"

  It's all over, it's all over. Yan sister is going to break the pot and ask for the bottom this time... What to do? Luolin said: Ah, Yan sister, I actually like you too. What I said earlier was from my heart. I really want to kiss your little mouth, hold your little hand, and sleep together in a warm bed. However... I'm not in the mood to talk about relationships now. And most importantly... I'm still so young, how dare you face this feeling between us? You're indeed very brave...

  Seeing Lorrain's hesitant expression, Jiang Yan's eyebrows furrowed closer together. Finally, after a long silence, she let out a deep breath and her expression turned somewhat gloomy, but she tried to put on a natural face: "Alright alright, stinky brat, I won't tease you anymore. Hey, can't take a joke, in the future when you go to Yanjing, don't say that you're Jiang Yan's younger brother or it'll be embarrassing for me."
