“Cough!” Fan Yu seemed to be stunned when he heard her words as he suddenly coughed right after he sipped a mouthful of coffee.

He hurriedly wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“Sorry for my impolite behavior, but I really have not met such a straightforward girl like you. You are also a little…”

Fan Yu squinted his gentle eyes slightly and it seemed like he could not think of a word to describe his feelings toward Zheng Yan.

It should be considered a surprise, as well as an unexpected discovery.

He had unexpectedly found out that there was such an interesting person around him.

His life would be filled with surprises every day if he got into a relationship with her.

If he had not gotten to know Liuliu, he might perhaps be attracted to Zheng Yan…

“No worries, no worries. Both of us are sad souls, and we do not need to speak in a politically correct manner with each other. I understand everything!” As Zheng Yan stood up, she patted Fan Yu’s shoulders in a buddy-like manner before returning back to her own seat.

“Actually, it is good for us to be friends, as we could at least air our complaints with each other whenever we are feeling down. You might not know, but I am on the verge of vomiting blood after going through a few frustrating days at work. I had originally called Xiao Mumu to talk to her about it, but I was so worried when I heard that she was injured in an attack that I forgot to complain to her. All of a sudden, I was just grateful that the heavens granted me a safe and peaceful life.”

“…”

Fan Yu was stunned by her words. Immediately, however, he could not help it and laughed out loud.

It was a genuine kind of laughter that was generated from the heart and it was different from the polite smile that he showed earlier on.

He looked really good when he was laughing.

As he exuded the aura of a fine young man with a good upbringing, it instantly reduced the alienated feeling that one had of him.

He seemed real, just like any other human.

“You are really special, no wonder Liuliu once mentioned that you have an interesting soul within you. Do you usually speak in this manner too?” As Fan Yu paused in his words, he revealed an even broader smile and added, “In such a… direct manner?”

“Did I really speak in a very direct manner?” As Zheng Yan sipped her coffee, she squinted her pretty red phoenix eyes and started to ponder over Fan Yu’s words.

She did not feel that she spoke in a different manner from others.

However, she would be in a more relaxed state when she hung out with her friends and hence not as mindful of her choice of words.

Fan Yu said, “Didn’t you mention that you were so p*ssed with your work that you were on the verge of vomiting blood earlier on? You can tell me about them if you don’t mind, perhaps I would be able to advise you.”

“No need. I know that you are a genius in the business industry, but this matter of mine concerns my family, and you would not be able to help me with it. Unless you are able to force my debt-seeking younger brother back into his mother’s womb and change him completely!”

Zheng Yan swung her hands in the air as she spoke. At the mention of her younger brother, she was so angry that she picked up her cup of coffee again and took in another two sips.

She only felt better after she had finished all of the pastries on the plate.

No wonder women gain weight easily. With so many things to worry about, and how could they remain slim when they had to consume sweet food to soothe themselves the moment they get angry?

What made things worse was that the men who love to p*ss them off tended to complain about their fat bodies as well. Indeed, it made one angry the more they thought of it!

“You have a younger brother?”

Fan Yu told the staff to get her a glass of fruit juice when he saw that she had finished her coffee. Then, he ordered her a bowl of pudding.

Zheng Yan silently gave him 32 ‘likes’ for his actions!

She opened her mouth slowly and answered his question.

“The situation in my family is a little complicated. My mom died early and I have a half brother, we have the same father but different mothers.” Zheng Yan said in a gloomy voice as she stirred the fruit juice in the glass.
