Chapter 311 A Strangely Familiar Feeling?
Yu Huan leisurely cast his gaze out the car window, the street scene rushing past like a fleeting shadow.
Pedestrians were few and far between, and the few figures that did appear were walking in a hurry.
They wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes, hunching their necks, doing their best to resist the biting cold.
Old Lin drove as smoothly as a still pond, yet his speed never decreased.
Yu Huan had just finished a large meal, and with the car's air conditioning blowing, she couldn't help but feel drowsy.
As if I was only momentarily stunned, in a daze, the familiar front square and flower beds slowly came into view.
As you ascend the stairs, the view reflected in the glass curtain wall of the Lianhe Zaobao building, like the sky, is a gloomy and somber hue.
The Crown sedan slowly approached the roadside and stopped, without turning into the parking lot.
See this.
Yu Huan turned her head with a heart full of doubt, her gaze falling on Lao Lin, who was lightly gripping the steering wheel.
Behind his black-rimmed glasses, his father-in-law's eyes held a wise glint in their eyes, and he said, "Xiao Yu, I've been invited to give a Party lecture at the National University of Defense Technology today, so I'll leave you here for now."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan's gaze swept briefly over her father-in-law's executive jacket and his impeccably combed hair...
In a blink of an eye.
He looked away, unbuckled his seatbelt, and replied, "Understood, Dad. Be careful while driving."
Old Lin reached out and turned the knob, turning the air conditioner fan speed down a bit: "Yeah, you need to put more effort into your work, don't be too lax."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but wonder to himself if his father-in-law was subtly hinting at something.
After all, I just sneaked out to play for half a day...
But then I thought, he's now my father-in-law's good son!
If one really wanted to educate him, one would not do so in such a subtle and roundabout way.
He probably said that because he looked a little drowsy in the car.
After getting out of the car, Yu Huan slowly closed the door with her right hand on it. She perked herself up in the cold wind, smiled brightly, and said, "Dad, have a safe trip!"
Old Lin nodded slightly, looked away from the road and the rearview mirror to the left, and drove the car away from the curb...
As the saying goes, one, two, three, four, five, it's Friday again.
Despite the slightly gloomy and overcast sky today, the workers were in incredibly cheerful and bright spirits.
After a busy morning, Yu Huan finally had a moment to step out of the office and stroll leisurely around the workspace, stretching her muscles and bones.
Everywhere I looked, my subordinates were no longer listless like yesterday; they were all energetic and focused, creating a stark contrast between the office atmosphere and the gloomy weather outside.
With the weekend approaching, everyone's enthusiasm was immediately boosted, presumably because they were looking forward to a relaxing day.
now.
With more than twenty people gathered together, the workspace no longer felt so empty and deserted. The sound of keyboards clicking was like a continuous, dense drumbeat, and the hushed discussions rose and fell, occasionally punctuated by the clear ringing of an internal telephone.
Yu Huan stood in the corner, her hands behind her back, her gaze sweeping over the wall clock, noticing that it was already 11:44.
He planned to invite Xu Fei and Chen Yaoyao to lunch at the cafeteria during the lunch break, and also briefly review the team building activities for tomorrow.
The phone in my hand suddenly vibrated.
Yu Huan picked up his phone and examined it briefly. He saw that it was a WeChat message from his wife and quickly unlocked it to browse.
"Honey, would you like to come over to Sister Ru's house for lunch? It's in the Shuiyunjian residential area by the Liuyang River."
Yu Huan read it word by word and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It must be that villa community on Renmin East Road?
Lin Yourong once mentioned that their mothers were old friends who had known each other for many years, and that Ru Jie's parents were both business people and their family was quite well-off. It seems that what she said was indeed true.
However, in Xingcheng, villas in the main city that are not located on the Yuelu Mountain Range can hardly be considered luxury homes.
In terms of average price, it is definitely not as good as Lin Yourong's river-view penthouse.
Although Shuiyunjian Community is not remote and is located in Hedong, it would probably take at least twenty minutes to get there by electric scooter.
What's more, there was a strong wind blowing outside.
With this in mind, Yu Huan immediately replied, "Honey, I only have an hour for my lunch break. Going back and forth would be too rushed; I wouldn't even have time to eat much. So I won't go."
After clicking send, Yu Huan gently pressed the power button, turned off the screen, and held the phone in her palm, preparing to talk to Chen Yaoyao first.
I had only taken a few steps when my phone vibrated slightly again.
He immediately stopped to take a look.
"Ru-jie and Ji-meng want to get their nails done. We'll be passing by your place, so I'll pack some up and bring it over for you."
Does that mean she spent today hanging out with those two girls?
Yu Huan quickly changed her mind and replied, "That's too much trouble. I'll just eat at the company cafeteria."
'This could cause trouble or something.' [Smiling]
Looking at the emoji following the text, Yu Huan couldn't help but smile mischievously. She texted back, "You're not trying to come visit the set and assert your dominance, are you?"
'Pooh!
Good intentions are wasted!
"Then you can go eat at the cafeteria yourself! I'll bring some for my dad!"
Look at the three message boxes that popped up in an instant...
So exciting.
Did I step on her tail?
Yu Huan, who was in the workspace, forced a smile to keep from bursting out laughing.
He lowered his head slightly, concealing his smile, and replied, "Nothing tastes as good as a lovingly prepared bento box as a mass-produced meal! I know I was wrong, please feed me, my dear wife!"
He had just clicked send when something suddenly occurred to him, and he quickly typed a nine-square grid on the screen.
"By the way, your dad went to give a Party lecture at a university. I don't know if he's at the Lianhe Zaobao building. You can ask him first."
'Oh. '
Yu Huan stared at this single word and stood still for a moment.
I glanced at the time in the upper left corner of my phone screen; it had already jumped to 11:57, but there was still no follow-up message.
He couldn't help but send a message asking, "Honey, are you coming?"
'I'm putting food on your plate!'
'Okay, then I won't disturb your meal. I'll just wait to be fed!'
Just as Yu Huan clicked send, soothing piano music suddenly filled the workroom.
After a busy morning, lunch break finally arrived.
After a moment's thought, Yu Huan decided to wait until Chen Yaoyao reported on her work in the afternoon before discussing the team building matters in detail.
With this thought in mind, he turned and went back to his office.
As the doors closed, the "Moonlight Sonata" playing softly from the loudspeaker, along with the clamor of tables and chairs being moved, gradually faded away, as if being slowly pulled into the distance.
Lin Yourong wouldn't be able to come anytime soon, and Yu Huan felt as if all her strength had been drained, slumping into the chair.
He casually held his phone up to his eyes and started reading the ghost stories on Tianya Forum.
As one of the most popular forums on Tianya, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was actually first serialized here.
At this moment, "The Divine Physiognomist in Ma Yi" was being serialized with great enthusiasm. Yu Huan crossed his legs and flipped through the supernatural novel with great interest.
Time slips away unnoticed.
Yu Huan suddenly felt her phone vibrate slightly on the table, and a message notification sound rang.
It instantly pulled his thoughts away from the mysterious and thrilling world of the novel.
He picked up his phone and took a look.
It was 12:28 PM when my wife sent me a WeChat message: 'Honey, is the new media department on the 12th floor?'
Feeling a bit hungry, Yu Huan immediately sat up straight like a spring.
He quickly typed a line on the screen and clicked send: 'Yes, where's your wife? I'll come downstairs to get you.'
"I don't need you to come downstairs to pick me up. I'm not a child."
Yu Huan smiled gently and replied, "Then I'll wait for you in the elevator."
'it is good. '
Seeing the single word pop up instantly, Yu Huan put her phone in her pocket, placed her hands on the edge of the table, and moved her office chair backward.
He got up and walked to the door, but suddenly stopped.
Gentle breezes emanate from the central air conditioning vents on the ceiling.
A warm breeze brushed against his head and cheeks. He licked his dry lips and turned to grab his thermos...
The handle of the stainless steel insulated lunchbox swayed slightly inside the brown suede gloves.
Lin Yourong strode up the steps, her fingertips, encased in another glove, lightly pushing up her slightly loosened sunglasses. Her slender neck was hidden in a soft cashmere scarf, and the howling wind whipped her bangs into a flurry of motion.
Upon entering the hall, the sound of the wind instantly ceased, but her steps never faltered.
Practice makes perfect, and he walked straight toward the elevator without hesitation.
Inside the elevator, the lighting was soft yet slightly cold, and the wall tiles were so clean they were like mirrors, reflecting people's images.
Groups of three or five people were talking in hushed tones, with the occasional soft cough breaking the silence.
Lin Yourong waited quietly on the outside. As the two fully loaded elevator cars ascended one after the other, it seemed to take away the noise as well, and the room fell into a moment of tranquility.
She stepped forward lightly and pressed the up button.
"Hey, Brother Yu is usually the most enthusiastic eater, why haven't I seen him in the cafeteria today?"
A series of crisp footsteps, along with a soft, delicate female voice coughing lightly, drifted into my ears.
Her keen ears caught the words "Brother Yu" in his voice, causing her to involuntarily turn her head and glance at him.
Five girls of varying heights and builds arrived together...
As soon as Xu Fei finished speaking, she couldn't help but hiss. The spicy roasted fish in the cafeteria today had really made her choke.
Chen Yaoyao, who was walking beside her, chimed in, "When I left, I didn't see Brother Yu come out of the office."
Wang Xianjiao, who was a step behind the two of them, joked, "Yaoyao, your observation of Brother Yu is just too meticulous!"
Before she finished speaking, Wang Xianjiao's gaze inadvertently swept over Xu Fei's head and caught sight of a graceful profile.
She wore a dark brown wool coat, had bangs and a high ponytail, with a beige ribbon bow hair clip tied at the end.
Although she wore a mask and brown sunglasses, and her chin was hidden under a scarf, with very little skin showing, she was incredibly eye-catching standing there, with an absolutely stunning aura.
Then, noticing the small stainless steel lunchbox she was carrying, it was clear that a staff member's family member had come to deliver the meal.
However, why did this person give her such a feeling...?
A strange sense of familiarity?
The small group of five stopped in their tracks behind this solitary figure.
Xiang Xinyi lowered her voice and said with a grin, "That's normal, isn't it? In our new media department, out of ten women, nine of them probably have feelings for Brother Yu, right?"
Zheng Yu quickly waved her hand, vehemently denying it: "I had no such intention!"
Xiang Xinyi glanced around and saw that there was only one unfamiliar woman nearby. She immediately glared at her and said, "Even if you have a boyfriend, I don't believe you don't have fantasies about Brother Yu."
Zheng Yu coughed slightly and said, "Brother Yu is indeed outstanding, but I only respect him as a superior. My heart is only for my boyfriend, and I have no other fantasies."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xinyi rolled her eyes: "You're making this sound too serious, I don't believe you!"
Xu Fei turned around with a grin and teased from the sidelines, "Hey Zheng Yu, don't be so stubborn. Everyone knows that Brother Yu is so charming, it's perfectly normal to have some fantasies."
Xiang Xinyi quickly chimed in, "Exactly! Who isn't allowed to have a little fantasy? It's only natural to take a few extra glances at a handsome guy like Brother Yu!"
Having successfully escaped the center of the conversation, Chen Yaoyao withdrew her envious gaze from the graceful figure in front of her and turned to interject, "Everyone, Brother Yu has a girlfriend—"
"Hello, ladies!" A loud, slightly exaggerated male voice suddenly rang out.
All the women turned their heads away.
Wang Zhi, that beast, chuckled and strode over. After a pause, he asked curiously, "What are you all whispering about?"
Zheng Yu mischievously chimed in, "We didn't talk about much, except that Xiang Xinyi said she likes Brother Yu."
Wang Zhi sensed the sarcasm in her voice.
He put his hands on his hips, picked his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and joked, "Even though Brother Yu has a girlfriend, as long as you swing the hoe well, there's no wall you can't dig down."
Amidst the repeated smacking and smacking sounds, Wang Xianjiao stared at the woman with a puzzled expression for a while.
That graceful figure simply stood there quietly.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but smile and looked at the grinning Wang Zhi: "What are you talking about? Don't just spout nonsense and join in the fun!"
Xiang Xinyi followed up with a light laugh and said, "That's right, we women are chatting and joking around here, so you, a grown man, shouldn't interfere!"
Wang Zhi, who had become the target of everyone's criticism, quickly shrank to the back of the crowd and chuckled, "You guys keep talking, just pretend I don't exist."
at this time.
The elevator doors opened slowly and suddenly, accompanied by a soft "ding" sound.
The members of the new media department stopped talking abruptly and sprang into action, following the tall and graceful figure in front of them as they entered the elevator one by one.
Wang Xianjiao leaned against the wall, her eyes never leaving that figure out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that after he stepped into the elevator, he didn't raise his hand to press the floor button, but just stood quietly on the inside, a sense of doubt welled up in my heart.
With a soft hum, the elevator slowly ascended.
The sounds of cables and machinery were exceptionally clear in this enclosed space.
In the stillness, the numbers on the floor display kept changing.
A short while later, the feeling of being overweight suddenly stopped, and with a crisp "ding," the elevator doors slowly opened.
After a brief silence, the crowd saw Yu Huan standing outside the door, holding a thermos in her hand, leaning slightly forward, looking on with anticipation.
Xiang Xinyi followed Wang Zhi out of the elevator, looked up and saw Yu Huan, and said with a smile, "Brother Yu, why haven't I seen you eating in the cafeteria?"
A gentle smile appeared on Yu Huan's face as she turned to look at the inside of the elevator car.
He looked at the bangs again and again, and finally determined from the figure and clothing that it was his first wife. He said casually with a smile, "Someone brought me lunch today, so I didn't go to the cafeteria."
Hear this.
Wang Xianjiao had only taken a few steps out of the elevator when she suddenly stopped.
Chen Yaoyao turned her head as if she had realized something.
They only saw that tall, graceful figure step out of the elevator and link arms with Yu Huan.
Yu Huan, with a bright smile on his face, called out without any hesitation, "Wife, it's so cold outside, you must be tired."
“Honey, it’s not hard work, it’s just on the way.”
Hearing soft, gentle words, Wang Xianjiao exclaimed in surprise, looking bewildered, "Brother Yu! Is this lady your girlfriend?!"
"Yes, my wife." Yu Huan nodded slightly.
Chen Yaoyao quickly stopped, turned around, and called out, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Xu Fei quickly replied after her initial surprise.
Wang Zhi was stunned by what he saw, as if struck by lightning.
They have no respect for talent and were just egging on others to their faces, trying to poach their employees!
"My apologies, my apologies..." He swallowed hard, then called out, "Hello, Aunt Yu!"
Xiang Xinyi silently took a few steps back and stood behind Zheng Yu, not daring to speak loudly, and forced a greeting: "Hello, Aunt Yu..."
Amidst the continuous greetings, Lin Yourong nodded slightly.
She said in a gentle, soft voice, "Hello."
Hearing that voice, Wang Xianjiao's expression grew even more puzzled...
This time, it wasn't just a vague feeling of familiarity; she genuinely felt a sense of familiarity!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Huan led Lin Yourong straight towards the office and quickly slipped away.
The moment you push the door open, the first thing you do is turn around and close the door, then immediately lock it.
Lin Yourong released Yu Huan's arm, feeling the warm air blowing on her face, and loosened the tightly tied scarf slightly.
She turned and stared at Yu Huan's retreating figure, saying softly, "When I was in the elevator, I ran into your female colleagues. They were talking about how they were trying to steal my boyfriend."
"Clam?"
Yu Huan was completely bewildered.
He turned around and looked at Lin Yourong's bangs again and again.
She glanced again at the high boots that made her legs look even longer.
Finally, I looked at the brown suede gloves she was wearing.
He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
Lin Yourong understood the multiple layers of meaning in his words, so she put the matter aside for the time being and said with some displeasure, "I went to Sister Ru's house today and tried out some stage makeup and styling."
"Oh!" Yu Huan suddenly realized and took her hand.
He led her quickly behind his desk, pulled out an office chair, and said, "Honey, please sit down—"
The words have not yet fallen.
Suddenly realizing she might not have come alone, he quickly followed up with, "Were they waiting for you downstairs?"
