Chapter 67.1: Ji Lin is a man who is really flirtatious…

Bai DuanDuan confirmed several times, but Ji Lin refused to take back the five million yuan, saying that Bai DuanDuan should use it to buy something to eat, drink, and use.

“You wanted to buy a Gucci bag, right? And a VCA watch, buy whatever you want.”

Seeing his firm attitude, Bai DuanDuan didn’t refuse anymore and accepted the money generously. She usually spent her own money extravagantly, but she couldn’t bear to use this gift from Ji Lin. Instead, she planned to put the money into a bank account for safekeeping.

Just in case Ji Lin went bankrupt someday, she could turn around and support him instead.

However, Bai DuanDuan didn’t expect that she had underestimated Ji Lin.

He did follow her into the elevator as usual, but as a person who distinguished between public and private matters, he didn’t let his affection for her affect his intelligence like a lovesick fool for 24 hours. Just when Bai DuanDuan was about to reach the entrance of Sheng Lin, Ji Lin calmly reached out and took her hand, interlocking his fingers with hers. Then, with no expression on his face, he walked into the company with her……

Yang Fan was at the front desk receiving a package when he saw Ji Lin walking in. He instinctively looked up and greeted him, “Morning, Partner Ji, DuanDuan. What a coincidence, you guys arrived at the firm around the same time again today…”

Initially, Bai DuanDuan had planned to downplay their hand-holding, but Ji Lin tugged on her hand, and she had no choice but to follow him shoulder-to-shoulder. Finally, Yang Fan realized that the two were holding hands.

Yang Fan was stunned, dumbfounded, and shocked. He stared at Ji Lin and Bai DuanDuan, stuttering, “I… I… I…” But he couldn’t come up with a follow-up.

Ji Lin glanced at Yang Fan and continued to lead Bai DuanDuan to the main office area. Bai DuanDuan whispered, “Your private office is just a few steps away! You should go to your office first.”

But Ji Lin remained indifferent. “Oh, I’ll walk you to your desk. I have some documents and a presentation to discuss.”

Didn’t they agree to keep things low-key? What’s the point of walking around the law firm with their hands linked? 

Ji Lin continued to stroll hand-in-hand with Bai DuanDuan, taking a detour around the main office area, even though Bai DuanDuan’s seat was directly accessible through a single passageway. He went out of his way to make sure that everyone in the main office area caught a glimpse of them.

Then the man walked satisfiedly to Bai DuanDuan’s seat and casually picked up a filing notice. “Oh, remember to send this notice to the client and tell her the court date.”

“…”, Bai DuanDuan looked hopeless in the office, facing the surprised and stunned looks of everyone around her. “Ji Lin, look carefully, the court date is from last week, the trial has already been held…”

At least be professional! Acting also requires a professional spirit!

But Ji Lin didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He just paused for a moment, then pretended not to have heard what Bai DuanDuan said and looked at her seriously. “Oh, anyway, remember to allocate your remaining work reasonably and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

After saying that, he released Bai DuanDuan’s hand and said, “I’m going back to my office. You can call me if you need anything or send me a message.”

After that, Ji Lin turned around and walked back to his independent office without any ripples on his face. However, as the boss with great prestige and an independent office, none of his colleagues in the large office dared to follow him and ask questions, but Bai DuanDuan was different.

Almost as soon as Ji Lin closed his office door, Wang Fangfang, Cai Xiao, and Yang Fan crowded around her.

“Hey, Bai DuanDuan, are you going to confess honestly, or do we have to use harsh methods to extract it from you?” Wang Fangfang hugged Bai DuanDuan’s neck directly.

“Yeah, what’s going on between you and Partner Ji? Did I see it wrong just now? Were you holding hands?” Yang Fan also walked over with a puzzled expression. “I have a bold and reasonable guess. Did you two get stuck together with 502 glue while doing handicrafts, and only managed to break free when you walked to your seat just now?”

Wang Fangfang rolled her eyes to the sky and couldn’t help but use the newspaper at hand to hit Yang Fan’s head. “What the hell are you writing? It’s obvious that these two are having an office romance, okay? Are you blind?”

Yang Fan is not blind, of course, but he obviously cannot accept that Bai Duan and Ji Lin have gotten together. “But… Partner Ji, Partner Ji is no longer single?” He said incredulously, “And it’s with DuanDuan? Although partner Ji can get a girlfriend, I always feel that he used his position as her boss to coerce and entice DuanDuan, but reason tells me that according to the balance of power analysis, the truth is more likely that DuanDuan used her iron fist to make partner Ji submit… But who can tell me how DuanDuan and partner Ji got along so well?”

At this point, Yang Fan looked at Bai DuanDuan with suspicion. “You and Ji Par don’t seem to live in the same country, for example, you have vastly different views on spending…” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but worry about the country and the people. “If you two are together, and you argue about money matters in the future, what if you make a scene in the office? Whose side should I take? Although I personally want to stand with you, partner Ji is still the man who controls my economic lifeline…”

“…”

“Yang Fan, are you overthinking this… partner Ji and I have just gotten together, and you’re already expecting us to fight…”

Wang Fangfang hit Yang Fan on the head with the newspaper again. “What’s wrong with you? How could DuanDuan and Partner Ji fight?”

Wang Fangfang has good eyesight! Bai DuanDuan thought happily in her heart. Ji Lin and I have just gotten together and are about to enter a passionate relationship. How could we argue? Moreover, Ji Lin is so generous to me!

But just as Bai DuanDuan thought that Wang Fangfang would have the same opinion and understanding as her, she heard Wang Fangfang say loudly, “DuanDuan and partner Ji won’t fight! Because DuanDuan will use force to suppress him! Partner Ji can’t beat her! He won’t be foolish enough to argue with her, let alone DuanDuan is also a lawyer. Even if they don’t fight physically, just arguing with each other will leave both of them wounded. It’s not economically feasible. According to partner Ji’s personality, he would rather spend this time working on more cases and making more money for DuanDuan!”
