Chapter 347 eting her
"So, you see? There's no question of funny business, I an have you seen Lei Zhao? You should et the girl too, I invited her to co here" Yan i inford Su Bei, tongue in cheek
"That's fast "
"She's lost and alone and needs soone to rely on" Yan i replied, suddenly defensive
"So that's what it's about huh?" Su Bei asked, her eyes narrowed but in them was a completely new understanding of the situation.
It was Yan i's turn to look away "I don't know what you an,"
"She reminds you of yourself" it was not a question but an undeniable statent of fact.
Yan i sighed, just a bit disgusted with herself and her vacillating emotions through the day. She had beco very emotional later and nausea she attributed to intense anxiety lurked just behind her throat, making her throw up at least once a day "I just wish, I wish that at that point in my life soone had stood by no matter how unorthodox"
Su Bei got up from her chair to move to her friend and hug her, over her shoulder she said "I'm standing by you now and supporting you through this"
"Thanks"
"That also ans I would not hesitate to hit you with the truth and save you from yourself" she continued severely
"Thanks again"
"I've got your back Yan i and this girl better be good, she may have Lei Zhao tied down by friendship and you by sympathy but I've got nothing holding back." Yan i nodded taking the good-natured threat for the show of love it truly was.
"I appreciate that. So how are things with Leng Shao?" Yan i asked her friend.
Su Bei blushed, "Good, he is..." She trailed off as she let out a dramatic sign.
"Perfect. He is so kind, understanding, patience. I know he isn't madly in love with yet but that's okay. I'm happy with him, he treats well and that's the most important thing."
Yan i nodded in understanding and smiled gently at her friend. "I'm happy for you."
" too. Wait you look different." Su Bei raised her brows at her with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"I do?" Yan i frowned as she held her cheeks.
"Yes, you look like a pre-"
The brief flurry of voices outside the door directed their attention away from the window as they both turned towards the door of her office. In two seconds, soone barged in with her personal assistant hot on their heels.
She recognized Yue Yan but only after catching that familiar smile. The washed-out guest was far gone, in her place was a prettier version, with perfect make-up, a new haircut, and a million-watt smile. All in all, she looked well-rested, perfectly recovered, and like a socialite. She even completed the look with the several shopping bags she carried the others her nurse carried behind her.
One only had to look to see she was high on retail therapy. "Hey sis" she cooed; her voice impossibly silky
Su Bei's eyebrow arched until it t her hairline but Yan i just shook her head covertly at her
"Hey sis," Yan i answered before turning to her new personal assistant "it's alright, Su Bei, this is Yue Yan."
"Oh" the harried employee nodded with a tentative smile
Yan i continued as if she hadn't said a word "She's very welco, with or without an appointnt"
"Duly noted" The secretary's nod was firm this ti.
"Are you hungry?" Yan i directed this question at the two won who were making themselves comfortable in one of the couches, strategically placed around the room.
"Famished, being this hot burn a lot of calories" Yue Yan inford them safely and her nurse snorted, in the blink of an eye, the both of them were laughing uproariously.
Yan i caught her assistant's arched eyebrow above their head, and turned to catch Su Bei's eye too but subtly shook her head at their obvious confusion. There was no way to explain Yue Yan , one had to just wait and take things as they happened.
Yan i nodded at her assistant after getting everyone's preference before walking over to sink into the couch across from Yue Yan to ask her how she had faced with shopping and re-entering into society.
Imdiately she launched into her story, Yan i made a ntal note to have her assistant cancel every other thing she might have to handle for the day. The glint in Yue Yan's eyes promised she was going to be there for a while.
Nothing like an exchange of fashion to get Su Bei's attention completely, even though she can't afford all those expensive stuffs she loved talking about it. Within minutes Yan i was ignored with only the live-in nurse for silent company but that was okay.
She caught the subtle nod Su Bei passed her after a while and allowed the tension to lt away from her shoulders. It wasn't a stamp of approval, it simply said that she understood her reasons for doing the things she had done, to Yan i it ant everything.
The group discussion moved from one trend to another trend and Yue Yan I got a huge education on all the fashion trends she had managed not to participate in for three years. Sotis the conversation devolved into fashion codes that flew over her head but she found she didn't mind, not when the alternative was allowing herself to be lost in her own thoughts, reliving a mont she didn't even want to relive anymore or the alternative.
Yan i was exhausted, the idea of lunch made her feel faintly nauseous and her body ached miserably but as she took another look around the four of them and found she actually like it, this camaraderie, the friendship, and easy companionship. She nodded, ward by the thought before she jumped back into the conversation, a hilarious retelling of the antics of a hairstylist with very particular and very loud ideas about fashion.
