Chapter 1201: Unavoidable Trouble
Chapter 1201: Unavoidable Trouble
“Madam, why are you still standing here?” Bob asked earnestly. “Would you please come to the conference room and sit for a while? I’ll get you a glass of water.”
"No need," Lin Yuqing said slowly, adjusting her bag with a gentle smile but a shrewd glint in her eyes. "If the president is busy, I won't bother him. Once he's done, have him call me back, and I'll head back now."
"Then I'll have someone take you there."
“No need,” Lin Yuqing declined Bob’s offer and stepped into the building, saying, “I want to walk around by myself. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone shopping, so I’ll just relax a bit.”
Seeing Lin Yuqing's firm attitude, Bob dared not insist any further. He bowed and said respectfully, "Alright, take care."
As the elevator doors slowly closed, the assistant eagerly approached Bob and asked, "Bob, is that woman really the president's wife?"
"Otherwise, it would be you again!?" Bob looked at the assistant with pity and said, "You'd better pray that the president doesn't find out about this, otherwise, you're definitely finished at Xiao's!"
The assistant turned pale, slumped into a chair in a daze, and muttered, "The president's wife seems to be very kind, she probably won't go so far as to kill us all!"
"The president's wife certainly doesn't know how, but the president does! He can't stand anyone bullying his wife, so you'd better pray for yourself!"
After saying that, Bob handed a document to his assistant, turned around, and left with a flourish.
A person was walking aimlessly down the street, but Lin Yuqing was too preoccupied to appreciate the scenery.
She wandered aimlessly for what seemed like an eternity before stopping and looking at both sides of the street, as if she were lost.
But that's fine too. Familiar places have no scenery, and since we stumbled upon this place by chance, we shouldn't waste this opportunity and should take a good look around.
Lin Yuqing strolled slowly along the street, occasionally entering small shops that caught her eye. If she found something she liked, she would buy it without hesitation. Before long, she had several bags in her hands.
Tired from shopping, Lin Yuqing wanted to find a place to rest. When she looked around, she suddenly saw a familiar sign.
Lin Yuqing strolled over leisurely and felt that the store's logo looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly remembered that Yu Wei had once taken her to this store to eat ice cream. She didn't expect it to be a chain store, and that she could also see it in the UK.
Just as Lin Yuqing was standing at the store entrance, looking up in a daze, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.
"I didn't expect you to like this brand of ice cream too!"
The voice made Lin Yuqing shudder involuntarily before she slowly turned her gaze to a smiling face.
"Donna!? What are you doing here?"
At this moment, Donna became much more cheerful, and her smile was no longer so reserved. She looked at Lin Yuqing with a very friendly expression.
But Lin Yuqing knew that she wasn't that familiar with her, and seeing her at this time would increase the risk, so she didn't want to cause trouble for herself!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuqing wanted to find an excuse to leave, but Donna beat her to it, happily taking Lin Yuqing's arm with a cheerful expression, and said, "It's really fate that we met here! How about I treat you to ice cream? This shop's rainbow ice cream is very famous, you must try it!"
"But I..."
"Oh dear, I haven't properly thanked you for what happened between Kaifeng and me yet. You absolutely mustn't refuse me, or I'll be heartbroken!"
Without waiting for Lin Yuqing's agreement or disagreement, Donna grabbed her arm and pushed open the door to enter the shop.
Lin Yuqing was surprised by Donna's strength. In the blink of an eye, she was dragged into the store.
To be honest, Lin Yuqing was already a bit tired after shopping for so long, and now that she could smell the sweet aroma of ice cream, she really wanted to sit down and rest.
"There are seats over there, shall we sit there?"
Seeing Donna point to a window seat, Lin Yuqing nodded, tacitly agreeing with Donna's words.
Donna seemed very happy to see that Lin Yuqing was no longer resistant to her.
Donna called over a waiter and ordered two popular ice creams, followed by two snacks. She then happily took Lin Yuqing's hand and said, "Originally, I hadn't planned to come to England, but my brother said there's a very famous wedding dress designer here, and he suggested I come here to have my wedding dress made. I thought it was a win-win situation—I could get a proper wedding dress and also visit you. It's really great!"
"Yes, it is indeed very good."
Lin Yuqing felt a little uncomfortable, unsure whether Donna's happiness and enthusiasm were genuine or feigned. She could only pretend to really enjoy the ice cream and lower her head to taste it.
Seeing this, Donna said proudly, "See, I knew you'd like this flavor! I took Kaifeng to that shop in France to try it the other day, and he liked it a lot too!"
Zhang Kaifeng, have some ice cream!? Doesn't that guy hate eating these things?
Whether he likes it or not is none of her business. Lin Yuqing was too lazy to think about it, so she looked up, smiled, and changed the subject.
"How are the preparations for your wedding with Kaifeng going?"
"It went very smoothly. He has already come to France to meet my parents, and they are very satisfied with him. They even said that after we get married, they will give us Peterhof Castle in France as a wedding gift!"
Rich people are really generous...
Lin Yuqing silently sighed in her heart, then offered her congratulations. But such pointless talk became quite awkward after a while. Fortunately, Donna seemed very excited, talking non-stop, recounting her romantic courtship with Zhang Kaifeng, and describing the socialites she would invite to her wedding, promising a spectacular event.
Donna's excited appearance made her look like a happy woman, radiating sweetness.
Gradually, Lin Yuqing stopped rejecting Donna so much. Seeing how happy Donna was, she seemed to be infected by it, and the corners of her mouth would often turn up, as if she were already in a grand wedding, and Zhang Kaifeng would soon find his own happiness.
Isn't this exactly what Lin Yuqing wanted him to have?
But why does something always feel off in a certain corner of my heart?
As the blurry vision faded, Lin Yuqing rested her chin on one hand, looking at Donna with a scrutinizing gaze.
Seemingly sensing Lin Yuqing's strange gaze, Donna stuck out her tongue and smiled, saying shyly, "Yuqing, do you think I'm talking too much and not reserved enough?"
