Chapter 146: 146, Slight love, subtle affection
Song Qinghuan couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart, her voice trembling even more, “Didn’t Director Yan ever tell you what the phrase ‘Simplicity is the most beautiful, sincerity is the most genuine’ signifies?”
Li Wei was taken aback, completely unsure why she would suddenly say such a thing.
She then widened her eyes: “Are you…”
No, she couldn’t believe it, even though she knew that Yan Pingdan had a sister named Qinghuan. Therefore, when she first met Song Qinghuan, she had a good impression of her and quickly became friends with her.
However, she had never thought that Song Qinghuan would be Yan Pingdan’s sister, because her surname was Song, while his was Yan.
Sensing her doubt, Song Qinghuan laughed and asked again, “Didn’t Director Yan tell you that his parents are divorced, that he migrated abroad with his father and his sister changed her last name to her stepfather’s after their mother remarried?”
This time it clicked in Li Wei’s mind, she hastily stepped forward, grabbing Song Qinghuan’s hand, tears instantly falling: “He didn’t tell me any of this. If he had told me, how could I not guess that you’re his sister. He only mentioned he had a sister who was about to graduate, and he planned on introducing me to her as a surprise at her graduation ceremony, then he wished for us to move to America together. As for the other details, he didn’t tell me anything.”
She was Yan Pingdan’s assistant and whenever Yan Pingdan attended any business gatherings, she would accompany him as his assistant.
There was no other reason, except that these meetings required a female companion and he was too lazy to look for one.
She was a rather quiet girl, always standing quietly by Yan Pingdan’s side when they went out, or sitting quietly in a corner.
Girls who are so inconspicuous are usually not noticed by people, and whoever notices her is because of Yan Pingdan.
Yan Pingdan might not be a supposed handsome man, but he’s definitely a good-looking gentleman, a clean, charming guy.
As she spent more time with him, she realized she was gradually falling for him, and eventually she fell in love with him.
Though she loved him, she never indulged too much in this feeling.
She always understood the idea of marrying someone from a similar social status.
It was a cultural norm inherited from her ancestors, which would have likely perished if it didn’t hold some truth to it.
He was a returnee from overseas and a senior executive of the company, whilst she was just a small assistant within the company, clearly they didn’t fit together.
Until one day, Yan Pingdan took her to attend a gathering, and his mood that day seemed to be unusually bad, as he exceptionally got drunk.
She didn’t know where he lived, so she simply took him home.
Helping him onto the bed, he suddenly held her, and then kissed her.
They made love that night, he was drunk and did not know who she was, however, she had no reluctance, because she loved him.
After the dawn, he woke up and left without saying anything, leaving her a little scared and too afraid to go to work.
She was in a dilemma, but ultimately decided to go work. She ended up being late, but he didn’t say anything and just asked her to handle some work tasks.
The matter that night, seemingly unnoticeable, he pretended not to know, and she also pretended not to know.
Thus, a month passed by and one day she came home from work, fell asleep watching TV, but was startled awake by the sound of the doorbell.
She thought it was the landlord or the property management, but when she opened the door, she found it was Yan Pingdan.
