"Let's just go out for a stroll. Buy something and I'll treat you to a nice meal. You've lost weight these past few days." Of course, staying at home all the time would make anyone lose weight.
"Xiaoran, what should I do?" Ye Zixun really had no idea how to deal with Lan Baobao's attitude.
"What else can you do? How did things end up like this between you two?" Li Xiaoran felt utterly helpless.
When Lan Baobao left, she realized how much she missed Ye Zixun. Just a few days without seeing him made her heart feel different.
But now that she's back, things are still the same. A lot of time has passed, and she has no idea what Ye Zixun is thinking.
"Isn't the last incident already over? What do you feel for Ye Zixun now?" Li Xiaoran looked at her friend, who appeared confused. In truth, Li Xiaoran didn't know what to do either. After all, this was their own relationship issue.
However, if Ye Zixun were to repeat his previous mistakes, Li Xiaoran wouldn't let him off easily.
"I don't even know myself; I just want to see Ye Zixun. I..." Lan Baobao finally understood the feeling of missing someone and realized that Ye Zixun truly held a special place in her heart. After all, he is now a father of two children.
"Then that means you really love him?" Li Xiaoran couldn't help but laugh at Lan Baobao's flustered expression. It turned out her friend had this side to her that he had never noticed before. He had thought Lan Baobao was always being pushed around by Ye Zixun.
"Should I go find him and clarify things?" Lan Baobao wasn't sure if Li Xiaoran was on the same page as her. But even if she went, what would come of it?
"Exactly! That's the way to go!" Li Xiaoran saw that his friend was finally coming around. He thought that as long as Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun could sort things out, perhaps their misunderstandings could be resolved. Maybe Ye Zixun would even let Lan Baobao return to work at the company since she was too idle at home.
"Really? But can it really just be about Ye Zixun?" Lan Baobao felt completely unconfident.
"If you don't get your stance right, how can you succeed?"
"Alright, Xiaoran, I think you're right. I need to clarify some things with Ye Zixun. If I keep being this weak, I'll always be bullied by him." Lan Baobao decided she needed to understand things better.
"Yes, Lan Baobao, that's how relationships work. No one can help you; only you can help yourself. Even though I want to help you, I can't interfere in your relationship. But if Ye Zixun bullies you, I'll definitely find a way to confront him," Li Xiaoran assured her.
"Okay, I've made up my mind. I'll call Ye Zixun right away." Lan Baobao knew that if she continued to procrastinate, Ye Zixun might end up with another woman again.
"That's right! Only by doing this can you have your own happy life! Happiness that you pursue yourself is true happiness; you can't keep compromising." Li Xiaoran felt happy for his friend who was finally brave enough to pursue what she wanted.
"Alright then, it's settled." Lan Baobao firmly resolved to take action. She immediately called Ye Zixun, but as usual, his phone was off. It dawned on her that it seemed like Ye Zixun hadn't been home for quite some time.
Lan Baobao felt a bit unsettled and realized that she could only go to Ye Zixun's company now. She thought to herself that she would still work hard; since she had already made up her mind, she would put in the effort. Ye Zixun must compromise with her, and she could not allow him to continue restricting her freedom like this.
Then Lan Baobao decided to dress up nicely for the occasion. She thought it would be best to choose her outfit first. The thought of meeting Ye Zixun made her heart race with excitement. She remembered that it had been a while since they last saw each other and wondered what Ye Zixun was busy with these days.
Lan Baobao dressed up beautifully and headed out.
"Hello," Lan Baobao greeted politely as she approached the front desk and saw the receptionist.
"What can I help you with?" The receptionist was new and did not recognize Lan Baobao. She assumed that Lan Baobao was just another applicant, and since Ye Family was a big company, she seemed a bit reluctant to engage.
"I would like to see Ye Zixun," Lan Baobao stated clearly, realizing that the girl was new and likely did not know who she was.
"Are you looking for our chairman?" The receptionist did not know what kind of identity Lan Baobao held, but her tone was still somewhat unfriendly.
"I want to know if Ye Zixun is available right now," Lan Baobao felt a bit disappointed that even as the First Lady, she could not get past the front desk.
"Oh, okay. Do you have an appointment?" Even though Lan Baobao was the First Lady, there was no way around it; anyone wanting to see Ye Zixun needed an appointment.
"Appointment? I don't have one." Lan Baobao thought about how she hadn't even managed to get through on the phone, so how could she have an appointment? It seemed ridiculous that she needed one just to enter.
"I'm sorry, but you need an appointment to meet here," the receptionist said coldly, noticing that Lan Baobao looked quite young and didn't know what her relationship with the boss was. Despite her innocent appearance, she had deep ties with Ye Zixun.
"Then, should I wait here?" Lan Baobao understood that under these circumstances, she wouldn't be able to get in. She figured they might even call security on her. Besides, she didn't look like the usual Lan Baobao, so probably not many people would recognize her since she didn't often visit Ye Zixun's company.
"Well... I'll ask for you," the receptionist decided to check after seeing Lan Baobao. If she turned out to be an important guest of the boss, it could create trouble for her. After all, why else would someone directly refer to the president as Ye Zixun?
"Really? That's great! Thank you!" Lan Baobao felt hopeful at the prospect of seeing Ye Zixun soon; after all, her purpose for coming today was just to see him. She looked like an innocent college student.
"No problem, let me check," said the receptionist as she picked up the phone. The call connected quickly, but unfortunately, Ye Zixun was in a meeting and had no time. The receptionist turned back to inform Lan Baobao, "I'm sorry, our president is in a meeting and won't have time to see you right now. Perhaps you can come back later when he is free." In truth, the receptionist wanted to send Lan Baobao away as quickly as possible.
"Oh, I see. Thank you," Lan Baobao replied, feeling disappointed. Did that mean everything Ye Zixun had said before wasn't genuine? Was it all just empty words?
Did he really not want to see her? Otherwise, why would he be avoiding her like this? It had been quite some time since they last met.
Feeling disheartened, Lan Baobao decided that even if she couldn't see Ye Zixun today, she wouldn't leave. If he was in a meeting now, surely he couldn't be in meetings forever. Conveniently, there was a café across from the company where she could wait until he appeared. Could it be that Ye Zixun could avoid her for a lifetime? Lan Baobao knew she had to persevere. So she walked over to the café across the street to wait for Ye Zixun.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The female owner of the café looked mature and charming.
"Blue Mountain Coffee." Lan Baobao ordered her favorite coffee at the café. The only thing she could do was wait, knowing that Ye Zixun had become increasingly important to her. Lan Baobao had no other thoughts in her heart; she simply wanted to clarify things with Ye Zixun and then tell him that she was going to work. Even if it wasn't at Mu Jiangfeng's company, she couldn't just stay at home because she wasn't the type of person who could relax.
At the café, Lan Baobao had nothing else to do, so she could only pass the time like this. Before long, Li Xiaoran's call came in.
"Xiaoran, what's up?" Lan Baobao was boredly sipping her coffee. It was also because of Li Xiaoran's encouragement that she had come here to clarify things with Ye Zixun. Without Li Xiaoran's encouragement, she wouldn't have had the courage to do this.
"Nothing much, just asking how things are going with you and Ye Zixun." Li Xiaoran didn't expect that Lan Baobao had already arrived; she thought Lan Baobao would hesitate for a while. After all, Lan Baobao wasn't a strong person or someone very decisive; otherwise, she wouldn't have been hurt by Ye Zixun so often, along with his other lovers.
Lan Baobao was a kind-hearted girl. Li Xiaoran had always known this and wanted to protect her well.
"Sigh. It's complicated; I can't even find Ye Zixun." Just when Lan Baobao was feeling sentimental about her situation with Ye Zixun, her friend's call came in. It seemed that Li Xiaoran really understood her well.
"Then why did you go there so early?" Li Xiaoran knew that things wouldn't go smoothly for Lan Baobao.
"I got here early, but is Ye Zixun deliberately avoiding me?" Lan Baobao replied weakly, even though the coffee was supposed to be invigorating.
"What’s going on? Is Ye Zixun really that despicable of a jerk?" Li Xiaoran thought she might have interrupted something between Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun, but it turned out that Lan Baobao hadn't even seen him yet.
