Chapter 12


    He knew best what kind of woman she was!


    Thinking of the documents stained with coffee, he went to his study to bring the documents back to the


    As soon as he entered his study, Zong Jinghao found that someone touched his stuffs on the table.


    Other than Auntie Chen and Guan Jing, no one, even Bai Zhuwei, had ever entered his study.


    Who would it be?


    Did that woman sneak into my study?


    He walked up to the table and found a handwritten tranted document on it. He reached out to pick it


    up and studied the neat and graceful handwriting.


    He frowned. Did the woman write this?


    Does she know thenguage of Country A?


    Zong Jinghao couldn''t believe it.


    Just when he put down the document and wanted to go to the woman to ask her about it, a sticky note


    fell out of the document, and it read, ''I’m sorry to enter your study without your consent, but your


    documents were stainedst night because of me, so I want to do my best to help you fix it. The


    mypensation for staining your documents.—Lin Xinyan''


    Holding the sticky note, Zong Jinghao looked at the contents of the ten pieces of tranted documents,


    which were all handwritten, and his anger toward her for entering his study without his permission


    eased a little.

    Staring at the graceful handwriting, he suddenly became a little curious about this woman.


    She actually knew such an unpoprnguage.


    Zong Jinghao put down the sticky note and went to thepany with the documents.


    It was already noon by the time Lin Xinyan woke up, and Aunt Yu had prepared food for her. She was a


    little embarrassed for getting up sote.


    Aunt Yu said with a smile, “It''s usually very deserted here. Young master never sleeps in. After you


    move in, it seems to have be a little livelier here.”


    Lin Xinyan smiled. “Didn''t Miss Baie often before?”


    Aunt Yu froze. Is she jealous?


    Lin Xinyan really didn''t mean anything else and was just asking. Yet, she regretted it after asking.


    “Not very often. Young master was indifferent toward her before—” Aunt Yu was wondering too, why


    does his attitude toward her change after a business trip?


    He didn''t fall in love with her all these years, so why would he fall in love with her in a few days?


    Aunt Yu was puzzled.


    Lin Xinyan thought, it is said that women''s minds cannot be understood. It looks like men''s minds are


    the same as well.


    Particrly men like Zong Jinghao.


    The job fell through, and Lin Xinyan didn''t want to remain idle like this, as she needed to have a stable


    job. Meanwhile, she would definitely not be able to get back her mother''s stuff for the time being.


    She didn''t have much money left either. Although she didn''t need to spend much living here, her


    mother needed money.


    After having her meal, she went out.


    It was really difficult for those without academic qualifications and work experience—like her—to get a


    job.


    After being rejected everywhere, Lin Xinyan could only find some low-end jobs.


    A high-end restaurant was hiring waitress.


    This position didn''t require her to have any academic background, and it would be fine as long as she


    was clever and quick to respond. She now had to make sure that she had money in her hands, so she


    went in to apply for the job.


    Despite her failure to get an academic qualification, Lin Xinyan had gone to college, so her speech and


    demeanor were very logical, and she could react quickly.


    The restaurant manager asked her toe to work tomorrow.


    Now that Lin Xinyan finally had a job, she was in a better mood. Aftering out from the restaurant,


    she wandered by the road alone.


    As the setting sun went down, a hint of red, bright light was left on the horizon, illuminating the street,


    and making Lin Xinyan''s shadow longer.


    She was alone, which made her look a little lonely.


    “Xinyan.”


    After hearing it, Lin Xinyan turned her head to look at the source of the sound, whereas He Ruize ran


    over from across the road.


    “I thought I was seeing things.” He said with a smile.


    “Doctor He.” Lin Xinyan was also surprised for seeing him again. “Why are you still here in China?”


    He looked at Lin Xinyan, and said hesitantly, “I came back to work here.”


    Thinking of how the director poached him himself at the hospital the other day, Lin Xinyan understood


    it.


    “The remuneration package that the hospital offered is very attractive, right?” Lin Xinyan said with


    some envy.


    As she needed to take care of her mother, she didn''t get her graduation certificate, so it was really hard


    for her to get a job now.


    He Ruize smiled gently and said, “Yes, it is.”


    If it weren''t for the fact that she wasn''t going back, he wouldn''t opt to stay in China no matter how good


    the remuneration was.


    There were too many people and things that he didn''t want to think about in China.


    Looking up at the sky, Lin Xinyan saw that it was getting dark. It was almost two months since she


    came back, and now she was actually a little confused and lost.


    It was not easy to take back the things that were once theirs.


    Sensing her emotions, He Ruize reached out to put her messy hair behind her ear, and said, “Tell me if


    you faced any difficulties.”


    He had helped her a lot in the past, so Lin Xinyan shook her head with a smile.


    He had been with her for a long time, and always knew what she was thinking. She would rather suffer


    than owe others any favors.


    “You''re too stubborn.”


    So stubborn that it made others'' heart ache.


    Lin Xinyan pursed her lips. It wasn''t that she didn''t want to owe others any favors, she was just afraid


    that she couldn''t afford to repay them.


    She had nothing.


    “It''s getting dark. Don''t you want to go home, Doctor He?” Lin Xinyan asked.


    Lin Xinyan always called him ''Doctor He'' in the past.


    “Yan.” He Ruize looked at her. “Don''t call me Doctor He from now on, all right?”


    He looked at Lin Xinyan seriously. “Call me by my first name, orst name. We have known each other


    for such a long time, and yet you keep calling me Doctor He, which makes us feel like strangers. What


    do you think?”


    Lin Xinyan thought for a moment. He was elder than she was and used to take care of her like a big


    brother. “So, I''ll call you Ruize?”


    “Yes.” He Ruize took the opportunity to get close to her, and reached out to hug her, smiling. “Call me


    Ruize from now on.”


    “Hao, is that Miss Lin?”


    Zong Jinghao, who was driving, didn''t notice the people on the roadside. Hearing Bai Zhuwei''s


    reminder, he looked over—
