Chapter 698: Chapter 698 Eat and drink by myself

Chapter 698 Eat and drink by myself

"Haa—"

Yue Ling sighed as she leans back on her chair. She had finished sketching new designs for their next launched and discussed each design with her design team for their opinions.

She tilts her head back and stares up at the white ceiling like she was thinking about something. However, there was nothing on her mind but blankness. Her left thumb gently plays with the ring on her finger and she sits up.

Raising her left hand, she glances down at the ring.

L'amour de ma vie was a beautiful and perfectly define diamond ring designed in a princess halo style. It had diamonds that shone brightly as if wanting to blind a person's eyes.

It was a one-of-a-kind ring. The ring Shin had designed for her.

However, that ring no longer belongs to her as the ring on her finger now is the one Lu Tian designed.

Unlike the princess halo style of L'amour de ma vie, this ring was crafted into a ballerina halo style.

The center diamond was big and bright. Outside the halo, the round diamonds cascaded at different levels allowing the arrays of each diamond to glisten from every angle.

The corners of her mouth curl up and her entire being softens to the core.

"Always and forever."

She murmurs softly as this was the name of this ring.

The name, the cold and aloof Lu Tian had personally given.

He told her that, the name is a reminder for her. So that every time she looks at the ring, she will 'always' think about him 'and' know that his love for her is 'forever'.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but sigh a chuckle. He was right as the more she stares at the ring, she was starting to miss him.

"What a smooth talker…"

She mumbles another chucker and lowers her hand. She wanted to call him, but noticing something from the corners of her eyes, she does a quick double-take.

"Oh my…"

The sky that was once brightly lit was slowly turning dark and she could see the first star in the distance.

She looks at the time on her compute and gasp in surprise when the time read 6:37 pm.

Logging out of her computer, she scoots her chair back and gathers her things to leave. As she puts on her tan wool coat, she thought about something and smiles a soft chuckle that held a tint of mischievousness.

She walks to the door and turns off the lights before stepping out.

To the right of her, she was met with her assistant who was also leaving his office.

Liu Shan looks at her with a pleasant smile but doesn't say anything. He wanted to see if she remembers her words from the morning.

Yue Ling stares at him with a straight face. However, inside she was sneering like an evil witch in the dark forest. She knows that he is purposely keeping quiet to test her.

Deciding on something, she looks away from him and leisurely walks in the direction of the elevator.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"…"

Liu Shan was dumbstruck by her. His jaw wanted to drop but he forces his mouth the stay closed. He quickly follows after her like they were racing to the finish line.

The elevator ride down to the first floor was in silence as neither person spoke a word.

*Ding

The elevator soon chimes in arrival and the door slides open. All was quiet until the boss and assistant arrived at the front lobby.

"Boss, are you leaving?"

A woman wearing a blue suit asks with a polite smile when she saw Yue Ling. She wasn't the only one standing in the lobby as there were 16 other employees and the 7 members in the design team.

Yue Ling stops in her steps and arches a brow at the many bright eyes glued on her. She could see that were waiting for her.

However, wanting to mess with them some more, she clears her throat to keep herself from smiling.

"Good job today. I will see everyone tomorrow."

Without waiting to see their reactions, she walks in the direction of the front door. She could see their brightly lit eyes were suddenly clouded with grayness as each person's face was replaced with disappointment.

However, despite feeling a little regretful about this, she kept herself composed without faltering.

As she walks past each person, one by one, they lower their head and sigh inside. Some opened their mouth to ask her a question but could only stop themselves.

She is a very busy person, so it was only natural for her to forget.

They weren't angry or disappointed that she didn't remember, but they were hoping to spend a little time with her outside of work like the times they did in City Z.

As she was the one who told them that, once everyone clocks out and stepped out of De L'amour, they must leave work at work. She may be their boss, but once she steps out the doors, she is their friend and comrade.

Feeling the atmosphere inside De L'amour turn into one of dejected, Yue Ling stops in front of the glass doors. Her figure looked indifferent, but if one were to walk up to her, they would see that she was grinning from ear to ear.

She looks at the glass windows in front of her and her grin widens.

Each person behind her looked dispirited like they had turned into lost souls wandering cluelessly in the netherworld.

Unable to contain her laughter anymore, she quietly clears her throat and spun around to face her employees.

"Are you all planning to stay here overnight?"

Her question fell, but no one answers, nor did anyone wanted to look at her. She had gotten their hopes up then dropped them like a hot tamale.

Liu Shan being the only person daring to go against her snorts with an attitude. He strides towards her and stops at her side with a small angry stomp.

He cast her with a side glance then looks away. However, he doesn't walk out the door. His entire being was as if saying, 'how dare you feed us with hope up then forget."

"…"

Yue Ling was rendered speechless by his sudden behavior. As fifty percent of the time, she can't help but question if Liu Shan's sexual orientation is really towards the opposite gender.

If one day, he were to come out of the closet, she wouldn't be surprised.

Brushing this ridiculous thought away, she shakes her head lightly and looks back at her employees. Her shoulders shrug and she sighs in pity.

"Well, since no one seems to be in the mood, I guess I'll just eat and drink by myself."

"…"

The gloomy air around everyone quickly vanished and they were all turned dumbfounded. In one swift move, their heads look up at her, but no one dares to utter a sound. They were not sure if she was serious or playing a joke on them.

The first to return to his senses, Qi Li held his motorcycle helmet and use his shoulders to shove away the hands that were keeping him from moving.

When he freed himself, he sends a sharp glare at the twins, Gui Tian Lan and Gui Zhongmin. Striding to his boss, he stops on her side opposite from Liu Shan.

"These idiots didn't believe me when I said you wouldn't forget."

Yue Ling smiles a heartwarming chuckle at Qi Li. Out of all her subordinates, he is the one who never doubts her. Even if she were to lie, he would still believe her.

She looks away from him and back to the other people staring back at her. She knows they thought she had forgotten because she hasn't mentioned eating and drinking since morning.

"Pick a place and send me the address. I'll meet you all there."

Her words fell as she turns away and walks out of the building. Behind her, Qi Li and Liu Shan quietly follow. One kept his usual cold expression while the other held a guilty expression for doubting her memories.

Yue Ling enters her car and sends a message to let Lu Tian know that she would be home late.

As her car makes a turn, she did not notice a black car with tinted windows parked not too far from the De L'amour's parking lot.

Inside the car, two men with the appearance of hooligans were laying in wait. Anyone who sees them would shiver in fear and run the opposite way as neither looked like they belonged in this part of Imperial.

When the muscular man in the passenger seat saw Yue Ling's car pull out from the parking lot, he focuses his vision on the license plate.

Confirming that it is the one they were task to follow, he takes out his phone and presses a number. He puts the phone near his ear and the call instantly connects.

"Boss, she just left work."
