Chapter 47.1 “It’s not that I didn’t cook for her.”

In the end, Bai Duanduan was self-reliant. She took a selfie to accomplish the feat of updating her circle of friends once every six months. She had wanted to drag Ji Lin to take a group photo, but Ji Lin somehow refused to cooperate.

Don’t know what was going on with this man. Just now he was fine, suddenly he gave herself a ban, “You don’t go hiking today.” 

“Huh?” Bai Duanduan couldn’t take it anymore, “Why?”

She had gotten up in the morning and dressed up for so long, just so that she could take some beautiful photos with her colleagues during the hike, And she can’t go now? Why? ?This was absolutely unacceptable!

Bai Duanduan nodded while feeling that the bag she was carrying was a bit too heavy, thinking that she wasn’t going on the hike anyway, she simply dropped the bag, “But I brought a lot of good food for the hike, I was going to eat along the way, but now I’m not going, so you can have all this food!”

As she said this, she put down her bag and pulled out her sneakers from the bag first because her bag wasn’t that big and it was getting in the way of finding things.

Ji Lin was stunned, “You brought sneakers? You’re not going to wear high heels for hiking? Didn’t you pick Jimmy Choo heels to look good with your dress?”

“Of course! But you can’t be uncomfortable while hiking! I brought my shoes with me, so I can just switch to heels wherever I want to take a picture?”

“……”

“All this food, it’s all yours, I’ll skip the hike then ……”

As a result, Bai Duanduan had just put the snacks into Ji Lin’s hand when the man suddenly changed his tune “Oh, this case is not that urgent, hiking, you’d better go.”

What ? ? ? 

Bai Duanduan was determined to work seriously, “Forget it, I won’t go anymore, I love work, and work makes me happy.”

It’s a pity that she was sensible and loved her job, but her hard-to-please boss was upset again, “You have to go hiking.” 

Ji Lin pursed his lips and said succinctly, “My mind will be a little more open after the hike, so after getting some fresh air, I will work on this 60 million dollar case.”

“My mind is quite open right now……”

Ji Lin did not bother to be nice anymore, he used the boss’s authority directly—

He looked to Bai Duanduan, “Go to hiking.”

Bai Duanduan said vigilantly, “Then will you return your 60 million case to me?”

“Here you are, I’ll give it to you when I’m done hiking.”

All right… who made you the boss!

Bai Duanduan’s heart burst with joy at the thought of being able to snack and hike while still being able to work on the 60 million dollar case.

Although Sheng Lin has never had a tradition of group building activity before, he never thought that this first time would be a great success. It was a rare occasion for so many colleagues to relax and walk around the forest park together in natural oxygen surrounding, in groups, chatting about gossip and bragging, which was very pleasant.

After the hike began, Bai Duanduan was actually surrounded by colleagues who tried to form a companionship, but unfortunately, Ji Lin was standing on the side like a black-faced god of the gate. Whether it was Wang Fangfang or Yang Fan, the companionship lasted less than half an hour before they couldn’t beat Ji Lin’s deathly atmosphere and hurriedly found an excuse to fly away.

In fact, Ji Lin didn’t do anything. He just walked beside Bai Duan Duan without saying a word the whole time, exuding an “do-not-enter” aura that eventually emanated to the point where there was no grass within ten miles of Bai Duanduan.

The only one who could resist his toxicity was Rong Sheng, who bravely broke Ji Lin’s death knot after the rest of his colleagues were killed in battle one after another.

“Lawyer Bai, how on earth did you work out this cooking skill? I can’t forget eating your food, if you’re usually free on weekends, can I come and rub a meal? I’ll pay for it!”

After hiking for a while, they came to a wide grassy area, so they each took their own snacks and fruits and melon seeds and began to rest and chat about it, with Rong Sheng chasing after Bai Duanduan in a vain attempt to taste her amazing cooking again.

Bai Duanduan knew that her cooking skills were really amazing, so she firmly refused. Ji Lin had cooked for everyone for the first time and his hands were shaking like this, so wouldn’t he have an early onset of Parkinson’s after a few more times?

When Rong Sheng saw that there was no way to get a meal, he stopped, but when Bai Duanduan got up to go to the toilet and left for a while, he couldn’t help but complain to Ji Lin, “Look at this, such good craftsmanship is in front of me, but I’m unable to enjoy it! I was thinking that if Bai Duanduan got back together with Lin Hui, I’d fire her, but now that I’ve the short end of the stick, and I ate her meal yesterday, I really can’t forget it anymore. What’s that saying? A woman who’s been with a wolf can’t be with a dog? I can’t eat those fast food takeaways after I’ve eaten lawyer Bai’s food. It’s not the right analogy, but that’s what it means anyway.”

Ji Lin was silent for a moment, seemingly unable to understand Rong Sheng’s emotions, and said slowly, “It’s just a table of food, why bother?”

Rong Sheng shook his head and lamented, “You don’t understand the pain in my heart. If Bai Duanduan was in Sheng Lin, we might have been able to get a bite to eat, but if she left, not only would we no longer be able to eat, but think of all the good food that would go to that trash Lin Hui… I’m asking you, Ji Lin, are you willing?”

Sure enough, when he heard these words, Ji Lin immediately sank his face.

Thinking that Ji Lin was also angry that Lin Hui could eat such a good dish, Rong Sheng continued to say, “You also know that I am a person who likes to eat, how can a culinary talent like Bai Duanduan be left out in the open? Besides, if she leaves Sheng Lin, she will definitely go to Zhao Hui, and when she does, she will be with Lin Hui, and you will work to cook whereas Bai Duanduan will wash his hands for him every night, and raise Lin Hui to be as quiet as cow and as strong as horse, and then go to court against you the next day….”

Ji Lin’s face became more and more ugly.

Rong Sheng was also full of depression. He thought about it for a long time, then suddenly had a flash of light and said excitedly, “There it is!”

Ji Lin frowned and looked at Rong Sheng. He tried his best to conceal the urgency in his voice, and asked as calmly as possible, “What?”

Rong Sheng said in a deafening way, “Of course, I have to sacrifice my small self to fulfill my big self!” 

He said with a face of honor and righteousness, “I thought about it, I will sell myself and rely on my male charms to conquer Bai Duanduan! Didn’t Lin Hui want to get back together with her? Then I’ll interfere between them and launch a fierce attack on Bai Duanduan, so that she will finally turn around, abandon Lin Hui and fall into my embrace. That would be the end of it! In the future, when we are together, I will eat all the delicious food she cooks!”

The more Rong Sheng said, the more excited he became and patted Ji Lin’s shoulder, “In the future, when Bai Duanduan and I are together, if there’s something delicious to eat, I won’t forget you.”

Unfortunately, it was obvious that not only did this proposal not meet with Ji Lin’s approval, his face was even darker than when he heard that Bai Duanduan was going to cook for Lin Hui just then.

“No.” Ji Lin’s expression was ugly and his tone was stern.

Rong Sheng was a little puzzled, “Why? It’s not a good idea to let the fertilized water flow to another’s field!”

Ji Lin coughed and looked away, saying calmly, “Do you know what fertilized water it is? It is manure. Is this field of yours only worthy of dung?  I will not allow you to belittle yourself so much, Rong Sheng.”

Rong Sheng was quite touched, “Brother, I am just making an analogy, I’m still quite confident in my charm. Bai Duanduan is good looking with a good body and good cooking skills, so it’s not really a disservice to myself.”
