Chapter 1314: 1314

Faced with that particular gaze of Li Jinnan, Ye Youyou felt unsettled . She stood rooted to the spot and awkwardly gulped .

Li Jinnan took a step forward . When Ye Youyou saw that, she stepped back instinctively . He stopped in his tracks when he witnessed that and fixed his eyes on the woman in front of him .

With a laugh, he said, “Miss Ye, as your boss, it is my duty to take responsibility for you . Besides, my interest does not extend to married women . ”

He looked at Ye Youyou from head to toe . When he noticed her pallid complexion, he clucked his tongue and shook his head . He couldn’t have made himself any clearer .

Although this had been what Ye Youyou was hoping for, having Li Jinnan spell it out so clearly embarrassed her, nonetheless .

“Thank you, GM Li . ” Ye Youyou pressed her lips into a thin line . “Thanks to you, my health has improved a lot . And, thank you for giving me the chance to be part of such a popular television drama . It was my fault for not treasuring it well . However, I hope you won’t cast me aside . I would still like to pursue a career in the entertainment industry . ”

Ye Youyou only had one option if she wanted a promising future as an outstanding individual . Her mother wasn’t going to give her a good life . The Shen family wasn’t going to provide her with happiness either . All she had at the moment was herself .

Li Jinnan turned to face her . His bold brows rose, and his eyes deepened as he looked at her . He stared at Ye Youyou for a good two seconds before looking away . In a warm voice, said, “Since you’re mine, I won’t ill-treat you . ”

Ye Youyou’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that . Strangely, there seemed to be a hidden meaning in Li Jinnan’s words .

Since I am his, he won’t ill-treat me? What does that mean? Is he referring to the fact that I am from his company, or is he referring to something else altogether?

Ye Youyou’s heart began to thump . She couldn’t read this man at all or decipher what he truly meant .

She looked at Li Jinnan, and was about to say something when Li Jinnan continued without a change in expression, “But . ”

Ye Youyou’s words died in her throat when she saw how at ease Li Jinnan was being .

“But?” Ye Youyou looked at him as she waited for him to finish his sentence .

Li Jinnan turned to face his back to her and replied slowly, “Opportunities are for those who are prepared . Luck may come your way, but your ability and reputation are what’s most important . Instead of worrying that you may be cast aside, focus your attention on improving your ability so much that you become indispensable to others . ”

Ye Youyou didn’t say a word, but she nodded in reply .

Li Jinnan cast a glance at her before walking toward the exit .

As he walked off, his next statement sounded half like an explanation and half like a goodbye . “You have a lot of potential, so don’t let it go to waste . Since I now know you’re fine, I’ll be leaving . Take good care of yourself . When you’re fully recovered, have Mila let me know . ”

That last sentence settled Ye Youyou’s emotions . Have Mila let me know . In other words, he wasn’t keeping an eye on her in particular and had no idea when she’d be recovered . The implication of that statement reassured her .

“I will,” she said . “Take care, GM Li . ”

Li Jinnan heard the relief in her voice, and his jaw clenched imperceptibly . Nevertheless, he walked off without another word .

…

Ye Youyou’s apartment was situated in a middle-class district . Not many residents could afford to drive a luxury car .

The sight of a Bentley limousine caught Shen Luo’an’s eye . The car plate number was A16888 . The car belonged to the UO Group . Was it someone from the UO Group? Or, was it one of their VIPs?
