Luo Yaling shook her head: “Wu Ma, you’re joking. I still need to work! How could I stay here forever?”
Staying here forever?
Luo Yaling knows he likely brought her here on a whim or out of guilt for a night. Regardless, she isn’t his wife, so staying here could make her a laughingstock. She doesn’t want to seem clingy and insists she’s no longer interested in him—she hates him and wants to release her anger, but she doesn’t dare to act rashly.
“Work?”
“Of course I need to work, or how would I eat?” Luo Yaling replied, amused.
“Then stay here. Wu Ma will support you.”
“Huh?” She was stunned by Wu Ma’s suggestion.
“If not, then work at Young Master’s company. This way, Wu Ma can take care of Xiao Ya!” Wu Ma disapproved of her working elsewhere.
“I love this job and won’t resign easily,” she reassured Wu Ma for now, planning to quit later. She was doing fine and could slack off occasionally.
“But…”
“Wu Ma, since this is Miss Luo’s decision, don’t force her. Let her go.” Shen Yixuan coldly interrupted, appearing at the door.
“Young Master, how can you say such things? She’s just being polite. Can’t you hear that?” Wu Ma quickly defended Luo Yaling.
“Polite? Miss Luo probably doesn’t know how to write those two characters!” he retorted, recognizing the provocation.
Don’t think that just because he felt guilty towards her, she could run wild. He wanted to check on her condition early, but she still didn’t know better. If she was eager to throw herself into Shen Shixuan’s arms, he wouldn’t ruin her good intentions. He had long stopped using that name; now he was Shen Yixuan. It was his mother’s doing, saying he could go out and start a company. She would let him go as long as his name was changed.
Changing ‘shi’ to ‘yi’ was infuriating. Before he fully invested in this industry, she had already altered it. Hearing this name angered him. Why specifically change it to ‘yi’? His mother claimed it represented being close and loving. She also mentioned Shen Yiming, who was only eight years older than him, suggesting he should get along with him like brothers.
