I Want To Move In Next Door

Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Her Friend (2)_1

Zhang Te suddenly said, "Ms. Ai, it’s quite late, are you still planning to go back to the office to work overtime?"

Ai Jiang shyly giggled, and hesitatingly said, "Yes, I have some tasks left unfinished, if I don’t complete them, I’ll have a restless night."

Ai Jiang expected to receive compliments from Zhang Te and attention from Han Jingnian for her dedication. However, to her surprise, after hearing her words, Zhang Te cheerfully joked, "Ms. Ai, you really act like a single workaholic!"

Ai Jiang was silent for a moment.

Ai Jiang forced a smile.

"Ms. Ai, am I wrong? Are you single? Usually, only single people would think of working overtime."

Ai Jiang did have a boyfriend. But a glance at Han Jingnian nearby made her heart race. Even though Han Jingnian didn’t show much reaction to her conversation with Zhang Te, almost as if they did not exist, his indifferent expression still drew Ai Jiang in.

She barely struggled before she spoke.

She wanted to respond to Zhang Te with, "Yes, I have never been in a relationship."

However, before she could speak, her phone rang.

Not knowing who was calling, she took out her phone and saw the caller’s ID was "Dear."

She answered, and before He Che on the other end could speak, she said, "I might respond to you a bit late... Yeah, bye, we’ll talk later."

Then, Ai Jiang hung up.

Zhang Te, who was standing beside Ai Jiang, had seen the caller’s ID on her screen and asked, "Ms. Ai, so you have a boyfriend?"

"No, no..." Ai Jiang shook her head, her face turning red, "She is a very, very good friend of mine, a girl. I usually call her ’dear.’ We had previously arranged to chat tonight. I was busy at work and delayed, so she called to ask me about it."

Zhang Te just gave a simple "oh" and said nothing else.

Han Jingnian, who had been standing to the side without any reaction, glanced at Ai Jiang when she mentioned her "very, very good friend."

Ai Jiang, who noticed Han Jingnian’s gaze, tried to act naturally, but her heart pounded even harder.

As they exited the elevator and reached the entrance of the "Beijing Grand Hotel", the valet had already started Han Jingnian’s car.

Ai Jiang looked at the luxury car in front of her, her eyes sparkling with delight.

She stood at the entrance, patiently waiting for either Han Jingnian or Zhang Te to offer a ride back to the office.

However, she waited until Zhang Te received the keys from the valet, waited until Zhang Te opened the car door and respectfully said to Han Jingnian, "Mr. Han, please get in the car," both of them still did not utter the words she was hoping for.

Ai Jiang thought she had been forgotten, so she couldn’t help but speak up, "Mr. Han, Mr. Zhang..."

She just called their two names. As Han Jingnian, who didn’t really remember this secretary’s name, was about to get into the car, he felt he should say something before leaving.

As a result, Han Jingnian interrupted Ai Jiang before she finished speaking, "When you call a taxi back to the office, remember to keep the receipt, the company can reimburse it."

PS: Why do so many people say that the ’white lotus’ character is pregnant to create misunderstandings, etc? Those are outdated plotlines. They won’t appear in this book, okay~
