Chapter 791: Chapter 791: How to Take the Initiative

Jian Dan made her way straight to her own office and plopped down onto the chair, collapsing into it.

“Jian, what’s going on with you?” Qin Rou and Yuan Xinjie followed her in and saw Jian Dan slumped in her chair, looking utterly dejected and burdened with worries.

“Exactly! Why does it look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders?” Yuan Xinjie asked.

“Ah~ if it isn’t because of Uncle, then who!?

Every time Uncle flirts with her, she’s left without any resistance.

“Hey~ Right!” Just as Jian Dan suddenly remembered something, she sat upright in her chair, all spirited.

“Right about what?” Qin Rou and Yuan Xinjie were startled by Jian Dan’s sudden move.

“How do you two flirt with your boyfriends?” Jian Dan bluntly asked.

As soon as Jian Dan spoke, the expressions on their faces turned to confusion.

Wasn’t the subject changed a bit too quickly?

“What are you looking at me for? Speak up!” Jian Dan urged impatiently.

Jian Dan had just been thinking; she couldn’t always let Uncle have the upper hand. She needed to take the initiative herself sometimes.

“Jian, can you tell us, what exactly are you planning to do right now?”

“Why are you two dragging this out? I’m the one asking the questions here, not answering them!”

“Jian, before you ask questions, don’t you even consider the actual situation?” Yuanyuan complained.

“What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? What do YOU mean? Asking us, all single as we are, what do you think you’re going to get out of us?” Yuanyuan’s pout became even more pronounced.

It was only then that Jian Dan realized, “Right! How did I forget that? Well, I’ve got to go; I have something else to take care of!” Before finishing her sentence, Jian Dan had already risen from her chair and headed out…

“Jian, are you leaving the office as soon as you get here?” Qin Rou called out from behind.

“Don’t I have important matters to handle?

And besides, with you guys here, the company’s in good hands!” Jian Dan waved her hand and disappeared from the office.

The two left in the office looked at each other.

There was nothing they could do; after all, who could blame her for being Chu Liyuan’s darling? Even Chu Liyuan himself could only pamper her, so what could they possibly do to her?

After leaving the company, Jian Dan took a taxi straight to Xia Mengjiao’s house.

Xia Mengjiao was idly at home when she heard a knock at the door. She hadn’t even asked who it was before the person outside had already announced themselves, “Mengjiao, it’s me!”

How could Mengjiao not recognize that voice?

As soon as she opened the door, she enveloped Jian Dan in a bear hug. “Jian, I’ve missed you! It’s been so long, and not even a phone call.”

“Mengjiao, when did you start pulling moves like Yuanyuan’s!” Wasn’t this bear hug Yuanyuan’s signature move?

“You’re one to talk? We haven’t seen each other in days, what’s wrong with a hug?” Mengjiao placed her hands on her belly, speaking with a hint of grievance.

Jian Dan, having been pregnant twice, understood very well that a woman’s emotions fluctuate greatly during pregnancy.

“Of course there’s nothing wrong, I’ve missed you too.” Saying so, she hugged Mengjiao back in return.

“That’s more like it!

By the way, have you eaten? I’ll go make something for you!”

“No need to bother, Mengjiao, I’ve already eaten!”

“Oh! Have things settled on your end?”

“Sort of!”

“That’s good then, I was a bit worried when I saw the news the other day.

After a while, it turned into worrying on behalf of someone else.”

“Worrying on behalf of someone else? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Of course, as Chu Li’s woman, how could he possibly let you be wronged? So, the unlucky ones must be someone else, right?”

Mengjiao’s words once again left Jian Dan speechless…
