Chapter 262 The Mute Boss 12 (1/2)

Chapter 262 The Mute Boss 12 In reality, after the marriage negotiations with the Liu family broke down, the atmosphere at the Ling Group began to become delicate.

President Ling Chen remained as icy as ever, acting decisively and demanding.

But observant people will notice that he has been patrolling the floor where the interns are located more frequently.

My gaze would always seem to drift unintentionally over a workstation by the window, filled with cute little ornaments.

Sometimes I would stand in the shadows of the corridor, listening to that clear and lively voice excitedly sharing the latest gossip with colleagues, or complaining about bizarre work experiences.

More often than not, he would sit in the president's office and occasionally pull up the surveillance footage of the interns' work area.

He stared at her vivid expressions on the screen, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, his face still bearing its usual serious and cold expression.

Watching her eat and laugh with that male colleague named Lin Le still makes my chest feel tight and suffocated.

Ling Wei, who came to the company to find her brother, witnessed all of this.

She had long noticed that her brother was behaving strangely in his gaming habits.

Unexpectedly, after coming to the company, she felt that her icy-faced brother was even more strange.

Her brother was like a creepy ghost, spying on the interns from the corner!

Moreover, her brother would sometimes stare blankly at the computer screen while working, and when he came to his senses, he would frown and show an expression that looked like annoyance.

She even caught him looking at his phone once, his expression complicated, and then he smiled—a very rare occurrence for him.

Ling Wei's gossip-loving heart immediately perked up.

Is her brother, who has been like an iceberg for millennia, finally about to open up?

Her best friend seems to be a recent graduate intern.

Holy crap, I doubt her brother, that big ice block, would be interested in young girls!

Ling Wei seemed to have stumbled upon some juicy gossip and quickly shared it with her best friend, Zi Xi.

Ling Wei was shocked.

Her eldest daughter is interning at the Ling Group!

At noon, Ling Wei quickly pulled Zi Xi to have lunch together.

Aside from the subtle hints, the main reason for the excitement was meeting up with my best friend in person.

"Xixi, you and your childhood sweetheart..."

"So, how's Lotte doing now?"

Ling Wei scooped up a spoonful of yogurt and asked casually.

"What else can we do? Just leave it at that. He's still asking for a beating."

"He'll be here soon. Do you want to see him?"

Zi Xi was engrossed in a piece of steak, not even looking up.

"Huh? He's coming over?"

"Besides bickering, are you two dating?"

Ling Wei blinked, feeling a little nervous, but she didn't forget to ask for clarification.

She carefully observed Zi Xi's expression.

"Boyfriend/girlfriend, with him? Yao Yao, have you gone crazy from playing games?"

"Me and him? I'm not even a little bit tempted! It's purely brotherly affection!"

Zi Xi finally raised her head, her face asking, "Are you alright?"

Ling Wei's heart skipped a beat.

Doesn't this sound like the classic excuse of being too familiar with someone to make a move, or a relationship that's more than friends but less than lovers?

Her brother is in danger!

"So what is your ideal type? For example, what kind of boy do you like? There are many talented young men in the Ling Group, but you haven't found one you like?"

Ling Wei was not giving up and continued to probe.

"Yes... there are."

"As for the type, I prefer someone who talks less, since I'm already such a chatterbox."

Zi Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment, a suspicious blush suddenly appearing on her face, her eyes wandering slightly.

The image of the male lead crying uncontrollably flashed through her mind.

Although it's a virtual avatar and its appearance is somewhat diminished compared to real-life features, it's still very alluring.

Upon hearing this, alarm bells rang in Ling Wei's mind!
