257: Chapter 261: Lost (2) 257: Chapter 261: Lost (2) This sentence indeed caused Jian Anning’s brows to furrow, and she turned to glance at Ling Yichuan.
On his face, there was still a trace of a gentle, water-like smile, as if a pool of shallow clear ripples that seed, unintentionally, to capture others’ goodwill.
However, having experienced quite a bit, Jian Anning was no longer the naive girl who could be intrigued by just so sweet talk.
The other party was smiling, and perhaps genuinely concerned about her, she wouldn’t cause any unpleasantness with him, so she said, “I wasn’t happy at the company, so I resigned.
Since my friend is in Yancheng, I originally thought of coming here to unwind.
Unexpectedly, Zexiao’s company was recruiting, and the offer was very good, so I went there.”
It really was true that what drew her to the assistant position was the “high salary” offered by Starlight Entertainnt.
They really had no choice; Yu Zexiao was so picky that he had dismissed all his previous assistants.
Besides offering a high salary for an external hire, they could find no other solution.
Moreover, it’s said that “the greatest hide in plain sight.” Who would have guessed that the person the Situ Family and the Cheng Family were zealously searching for was actually right beside a dazzling, headline-grabbing celebrity?
“Oh, I see.” Ling Yichuan’s eyes flashed briefly, revealing a peculiar smile, then he sighed, looking concerned for his friend, “Hey, don’t think I’m being nosy.
Xingxing and I, we grew up together.
To put it nicely, he’s proud; to put it not so nicely, he’s aloof, just too dramatic!
Look at him, he’s already twenty-eight and hasn’t had a single serious romance.
I thought he treated you a bit differently, so…”
Ling Yichuan cleverly steered the topic to Yu Zexiao, leading Jian Anning to believe his concerns were because he thought there was sothing between her and Yu Zexiao, so he had co to look out for his friend.
She laughed, “Mr.
Ling, Zexiao and I don’t have that kind of relationship.”
Ling Yichuan was a bit surprised at this.
He looked at Jian Anning, uncertain whether she truly didn’t understand or was just pretending.
It was clear to anyone with eyes that Yu Zexiao felt differently about her, yet she still said such things?
But her eyes were clear, her expression calm, not at all like she was lying.
His puzzlent grew, “Not really?
But I clearly saw Xingxing he…”
Jian Anning’s eyes flickered slightly.
There were so things she couldn’t voice, so she could only smile and say, “I really don’t see any possibility with him.
I know very well what his status is and what mine is.
We don’t belong to the sa world.
Besides, I have to return to Canada eventually.”
Ling Yichuan was not one to be easily swayed by her words.
Since she brought up Canada, he had to ask her about it!
“Oh, is that so?
I’ve been to Canada too; the cities are very clean.
Which part of Canada is your family from?”
“Vancouver.” She didn’t want him to know her identity and naturally ntioned her father’s city.
Ling Yichuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his smile affable, “Vancouver is a beautiful city.
I visited once and liked it very much.
Where in Vancouver do you live?
If I happen to visit there, could I co to see you?”
“Sure.” Thinking about returning to where her father lived, Jian Anning said with a smile:
