Zhou han, who was within the workplace behind her, stared at her. When he noticed her sit down once more, the anger in his coronary heart slowly dissipated. He retracted his gaze and stared on the espresso she had simply introduced in.
Popping out of Zhou Han’s workplace, Lin Li’s ideas had been a bit dazed. It was solely after work that she slowly got here again to her senses. She appeared on the time on the pc display after which packed her issues in a slight panic, getting ready to choose up her little one from faculty.

Cheng Zheng’s mom additionally nodded and reached out to carry Lin Li’s hand, however Lin Li turned sideways to keep away from her. She was about to say one thing when Lin Li interrupted her.
“I nonetheless have issues to take care of, so I’ll be leaving first.” As she spoke, Lin Li walked previous her and was about to stroll to the parking zone.
Seeing that she was about to depart, mom Cheng shortly stated, ” wait, await Lin Li.
