Listening to the ridicule from his colleagues, Lin Mian couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
He hoped that he was acting and hiding it from everyone.
But the fact is that his relationship with Qiao Jing is not what they thought at all...
Because Qiao Jing wore a relatively slim-fitting dress when she went out, compared with when she wore casual clothes before, even if you don't look carefully, you can see that her belly has a slight bulge.
At this time, a colleague's eyes glanced over Qiao Jing's body inadvertently, and he happened to notice this with his sharp eyes.
The man said "Huh" and said in surprise: "Ms. Qiao, you... are you pregnant?"
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately looked at Lin Miao with raised eyebrows and a wicked smile, "Lin Miao, are you not interesting enough? You even have a child, but you don't even say a word!"
Others also made jokes about Lin Yan.
"Lin Yan, you are so strict with your words. If you keep it a secret, you are about to become a father. We are stunned that we haven't heard anything about it!"
"Lin Yan, are you not going to treat us to a wedding banquet? You want to invite us to a child's full-moon banquet directly?"
"Lin Yan, it seems that we have wrongly blamed you. You are not talking nonsense. You and Miss Qiao are really not boyfriend and girlfriend. They should be a couple. Are you secretly married?"
"No wonder you never admit that we are a couple. It turns out that you two are husband and wife!"
"..."
Colleagues were talking to each other, and the whole room was filled with laughter.
Lin Yan's eyes flickered, and his gaze stayed on Qiao Jing's face.
Seeing that after hearing these words, she still kept her expression calm and indifferent, as if she didn't care at all, Lin Yan suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Before he could say anything, a loud voice suddenly came from the door, "Everyone of you, what are you talking nonsense about here!"
Everyone turned around and saw the manager with a serious look walking in from outside.
After entering the lounge, the manager glanced at the people who were chattering one by one, frowned slightly and said: "You guys should stop making noise here. This matter has been clarified many times. Our relationship is not at all.
They are just good friends as you think."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
After a few seconds of silence, everyone started shouting again.
"Ah? No way? Are they really just friends?"
"If you say that, wouldn't we have misunderstood?"
Someone looked at Lin Yan with a questioning look, "Isn't this right? I heard that you two were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Don't you have feelings for each other?"
Others also echoed: "Yes, Miss Qiao is such a beautiful woman, Lin Yan, you are not sure, are you too inferior?"
"Lin Yan, what do you think? Share your thoughts with us. We are all very curious."
"..."
As everyone talked, Lin Yan felt more and more irritable.
He frowned, put a few bags of souvenirs in his hands on the table, stepped forward and took Qiao Jing's wrist, "Ignore them, come with me, I have something to tell you."
After saying that, without waiting for Qiao Jing's reaction, Lin Yan directly pulled her out of the lounge.
All the way to the foot of an old locust tree in the yard, Lin Yan stopped and let go of Qiao Jing's hand.
Qiao Jing raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yan, and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. After that, I have to leave. I have other things to do."
I just received a message from the research institute, saying that there was something that needed her to go over and deal with it.
Hearing what Qiao Jing said, Lin Yan frowned again slightly.
Really, you are in a hurry to leave just after you arrived, why can't you stay with him for a little longer?
Seeing that he remained silent, Qiao Jing raised her eyebrows and silently urged him with her eyes.
Lin Yan curled up the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Why are you so anxious? I'm just delaying you for a few minutes and you won't die. There is nothing more important than me talking to you!"
Qiao Jing had long been accustomed to his annoying way of speaking, so he didn't pay attention to it and just asked: "So, what are you going to say to me?"
Lin Yan was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke with an unclear tone, "I heard that you are going to hold a wedding with him. Have you really decided to be with him?"
Qiao Jing knew that the "him" in Lin Jian's mouth was referring to Zhan Qi Pei.
She nodded, met Lin Yan's gaze, and looked a little more serious, "I never joke about this kind of thing."
After hearing this, Lin Yan's mood instantly dropped, a bit of depression appeared in his eyebrows, and an unknown fire suddenly surged in his heart.
He secretly gritted his teeth, looked at Qiao Jing, snorted, and said angrily: "You are good at everything, but you have the worst taste. Why do you fall in love with him? What's so good about him?"
Lin Yan's words made Qiao Jing feel a little funny.
The corner of her lips curled up in a slight arc, "Have you ever heard of the saying that everyone has their own love for radish and green vegetables? No matter what he is like, I just like him."
Lin Yan looked disapproving and was about to say something, but Qiao Jing chuckled and continued: "Besides, Zhan Qi Pei must have good looks, talent, and outstanding abilities. He is young.
Just manage the Zhan family in an orderly manner and become the overlord leading the business world. How many people can achieve his level of achievement?"
"Of course, these are not the most important things. The important thing is that he is so kind to me. Not only will he cook for me personally, but he will also wash my feet, cut my toenails, and blow dry my hair. He is very considerate.
take care of me."
"Who would have thought that such a noble person would do this for another person? So, what's wrong with him like this?"
After listening to Qiao Jing's words, Lin Yan felt even more uncomfortable.
Although I really don't want to admit it, I have to say that Zhan Qi Pei is indeed an excellent and outstanding man in all aspects.
Moreover, it is undeniable that Zhan Qi Pei is really good to Qiao Jing, and even these trivial things are done so well.
If it were him, he didn't know if he could do that well...
Lin Yan was thinking this in his heart, but he would not say it with his mouth.
He snorted softly and said the same thing as before, "It's useless no matter how much you say, you just have poor eyesight!"
Qiao Jing only thought that Lin Yan was acting like a child, so instead of getting angry, she asked with a smile: "So, who do you think I should choose to be discerning?"
"I……"
Lin Yan blurted out a single word, and realized that he had accidentally spoken out what was in his heart. He quickly stopped speaking, and suddenly felt a little panicked.
In addition to being panicked, I was even more annoyed.
He suddenly felt that he was so worthless that he couldn't even figure out what he wanted to do...
