Chapter 67.2: Ji Lin is a man who is really flirtatious…

She excitedly held her hands to her chest and said, “To be honest, recently in the entertainment industry, several model couples and model marriages have either divorced or been exposed for cheating. In the past, I was starting to lose faith in love, but I never expected to witness such good news today!” She looked fervently at Bai Duanduan and said, “Duanduan, you and partner Ji will definitely go hand in hand from love to marriage, and you will grow old together, perfectly fulfilling the vows of ’till death do us part’ on your wedding day…”

Although she went straight from love to marriage, faced with such high praise and evaluation, Bai Duanduan decided to sincerely thank her, because saying such things was basically admitting that she and Ji Lin were well-matched and suitable for each other.

Unfortunately, before she could express her gratitude, she heard Wang Fangfang continue, “Because if partner Ji ever cheated on you, you would definitely kill him! Like they say, there will only be a separation in death, not in life, between you two!”

“For example, every time we have a meeting, as long as you speak, partner Ji never looks down at his phone or gets distracted. Even if you’re saying something very formal, he always looks at you, his eyes hardly blink, and he pays attention to you the whole time. But when it’s my turn or Yang Fan’s turn to speak, he often looks at his phone and responds to client messages.”

“Also, actually, there is a water dispenser in Partner Ji’s own office, and he used to never like going to our floor’s pantry. But every time you go to the pantry, he comes over too. You may not have noticed, but you have a regular schedule of going to the pantry – usually at 10 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. It’s easy to predict this pattern, and since you started going, partner Ji has started showing up at those times too.”

“Actually, partner Ji finds excuses to come to your desk every day. If you happen to be out in court or meeting with clients, and he sees your empty seat, his face will look a little unhappy, but he won’t say anything. He pretends to be looking for Yang Fan or me to talk about something unimportant, and then he goes back to his own office.”

“Also, isn’t your desk always messy with case files and documents? Once, I came in very early and caught partner Ji organizing your desk. At first, he was a little embarrassed to see me, but then he felt justified, probably because he’s the boss. He said he was looking for a file on your desk, but he clearly wasn’t looking for anything. He was just helping you organize.”

“Also, at Li Min’s wedding, the way partner Ji looked at you after getting drunk… damn, I thought I had walked into a scene from a drama where a domineering CEO was spoiling his beloved. He even said ‘be good’ to you. I didn’t expect partner Ji to be such a flirt when it comes to love…”

At first, Bai DuanDuan was able to remain calm while listening to Wang Fang Fang’s complaints, but as she continued, her face couldn’t help but turn red when she remembered that night. 

She couldn’t deny that Ji Lin was quite flirty when he wanted to be…

Wang Fang Fang coughed and said, “Of course, the most outrageous thing is that he raised your salary several times! You never even asked for a raise! I had to write a request and go through the approval process to get a raise! Men are really no good, they’re all dogs who are easily swayed by looks! It’s not like I’m not a beautiful woman too, even if I don’t have your stunning looks. If he’s not going to raise Yang Fan’s salary, why not raise mine? Why does he have to raise yours without you even asking for it?”

Yang Fan, who was unexpectedly brought into the conversation, couldn’t stand it anymore. “What’s wrong with me? Do I look so ugly that it hurts your eyes? Why don’t I get a raise? Is it just because I’m a man?”

Yang Fan was still complaining about his treatment, and he was still in shock that Ji Lin and Bai DuanDuan had gotten together, but Bai DuanDuan didn’t care about any of that anymore.

Her thoughts seemed to have drifted far away. She had never thought about all the little things before, never paid attention to them. However, it turned out that in other people’s eyes, they could already see how special and indulgent Ji Lin was to her. It turned out that a long time ago, she was already special to Ji Lin.

This realization was a little sweet, but also a little bitter, because Bai DuanDuan felt a little regretful. If she wasn’t so slow, if she had discovered it earlier, and if she had known about Ji Lin’s misunderstanding earlier, would the two of them have started dating early?

She felt a little shortchanged.

At this time, Yang Fan was still sighing on the side: “I thought I would be the one to get out of being single before partner Ji, but I didn’t expect to lose even in this aspect…I’m so miserable… partner Ji is really cunning. He quietly targeted our most beautiful female colleague. When he called DuanDuan alone into his office, it was clearly a routine. Now in our law firm, there are no more single and pretty girls…Unfortunately, partner Rong is not here. He’s on a business trip, otherwise, I would definitely share this shocking and heartbreaking news with him. Another single man in the world has disappeared, and from now on, it’s just me and partner Rong huddling together while walking alone…”

Now Wang Fangfang couldn’t help it anymore and started hitting Yang Fan with a newspaper: “Yang Fan, I should really send you to see an ophthalmologist. Am I not a single pretty girl? Are you bored of living and want to die?”

A few colleagues were arguing, but their public relationship with Ji Lin didn’t change too much unexpectedly. Yang Fan and Wang Fangfang were still carefree and casual, treating themselves however they wanted. However, Bai DuanDuan felt that it was fine like this. She sincerely liked Ji Lin, liked this law firm, liked these colleagues, and loved her work and current life from the bottom of her heart.

The author has something to say: 

I was a bit busy today, so this chapter is a bit short. I’ll post a longer one in a few days. The next chapter will continue with the case plot.

[Small Theatre]

Yang Fan: Partner Ji, you’re really good at planning. You brought in a beautiful lawyer to get yourself out of singlehood. Partner Ji, can you help me find a good-looking one to get me out of singlehood too?

Ji Lin: Sure.

A month later, a new colleague arrived–

Yang Fan, with a mournful face: Partner Ji, why did you bring in a man?

Ji Lin: Didn’t you say you wanted someone good-looking? The new male colleague is also good-looking. Yang Fan, don’t discriminate based on gender. You don’t necessarily have to find a woman to get out of singlehood. Someone of the same gender might have more common interests with you.

Yang Fan: I’m so stupid, it’s all my fault…
