She hesitated and said, "I'm actually quite happy at the small restaurant, and..." She paused and said very seriously, "I want to work on my own, Jin. If I were to work at your company, I won’t have to do anything if everyone knows I’m your girlfriend. I'll just sit there and get paid every month."
"Isn't that great?" he asked.
"I want to see how far I can go on my own. I don’t expect to spend my whole life delivering food. I'm also looking at some research materials in private, hoping it'll help me in my future career," said Ling Yiran.
She had begun planning for her future career.
Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly as he heard this. Then, he raised his hand and stroked her swollen cheek.
She gasped in slight pain.
He said, "Apply some medicine when you get back. Also, didn't I tell you to call me if there are any problems? Why didn't you call me?"
God knew what would have happened if he had not decided to drop by.
She replied somewhat awkwardly, "Uh... I forgot..." After all, it all happened so suddenly. She was in a confrontation with her father and stepmother. At that moment, she forgot to call him.
His eyes flickered slightly. 'Does this mean that in her heart, I’m still not the first person she wants to rely on when she's in trouble?'
"You must remember to ask me for help if you get into any trouble in the future. Don't you forget it again!" said Yi Jinli.
"Oh, got it!" she replied, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart. "By the way, you didn’t need to slap my stepmother a second time. You'll get into trouble if she tries to sue you."
"Then let her sue me," Yi Jinli said without a care in the world. He wanted people to understand that if they want to touch her, they should be prepared for him to touch them.
