Chapter 522: Chapter 358: Yan Yan’s Motto (Part Two) _1

It connected!

Upon hearing the ringtone from the other side, Ya Yan’s face unconsciously revealed a surge of joy.

That’s great, everything is fine.

A cool voice tinged with a sense of indifference reached Ya Yan’s ears after a few seconds, giving off an air of detachment from worldly gains.

"Mu Lin!" Finally, she got through; the corners of Ya Yan’s mouth unconsciously lifted up.

"Little bunny?" There was a slightly surprised voice from Mu Lin on the other end, probably because she didn’t expect Ya Yan to call her.

"Yes." Ya Yan’s voice was filled with a touch of choking up. Strangely, she felt a sourness in her nose. She had things she wanted to say, but they got stuck in her throat abruptly; she was unable to utter them, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"What’s wrong?" Mu Lin’s voice held a trace of puzzlement and faint worry. She was highly sensitive to vocal tones, and Ya Yan’s voice was clearly off, "Did Yan Zilei bully you?" Even though she asked this, it didn’t seem likely. That guy was head over heels for the little bunny.

"No." Taking a deep breath, Ya Yan shook her head, rubbing her reddened rabbit-like eyes, "I’m really relieved that you’re alright." She really was having a lucky day, having been able to get through to Mu Lin.

If Mu Lin could hear this thought, one could only imagine what her reaction would be.

In fact, Ya Yan was indeed fortunate. When she made the phone call, Mu Lin and her group had just returned to the border base. Luckily, she was able to answer this unfamiliar number as soon as she got back.

Because it was from Ming City, Mu Lin picked it up, but had no idea it was Ya Yan.

What did this little girl need from her?

Hearing the sound of her sigh of relief, Mu Lin couldn’t help but chuckle, "You went to my hotel to look for me." This was a statement, not a question, as otherwise Ya Yan wouldn’t be this worried.

With Yan Zilei there, Mu Lin believed they should know what she was up to.

"Yes." Ya Yan nodded, "I tried to call you but couldn’t get through, so I went to Hongda to find you, but despite knocking for a long time, you never came out. I was genuinely terrified." Thinking about it now, she found her past behavior rather amusing.

This must be the so-called ’worrying mess’ - now she finally understood.

"I was on a mission and left in a hurry." Mu Lin lightly explained her absence while chuckling. Seemingly, Ya Yan’s concern had put her in a good mood.

All the way along, Mu Lin had been in high spirits; she was the only one capable of leisurely seeking herbal medicines in that very jungle where their enemies were. It was certainly something the enemies could not have anticipated.

"Oh." Upon hearing Mu Lin’s response, Ya Yan did not ask about the nature of the mission. Yan Zilei had already briefed her on Mu Lin’s likely identity, so she refrained from asking unnecessary questions.

Following a brief silence, Mu Lin continued, "Little bunny, did you call me because you needed to tell me something?" In fact, Mu Lin was curious about which phone Ya Yan had used. She was familiar with all of the Ya Family’s phone numbers.

She didn’t recognize this number at all.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s question, Ya Yan just remembered her motive and burst into laughter, "You reminded me of what I almost forgot." That was indeed her main purpose.

A bit ironic, when she heard Mu Lin’s voice, she was overjoyed for a moment.

After a pause, she continued, "Mu Lin, you have my brother’s phone number, right? Can you give it to me?" As she spoke, she gestured to a nearby staff member to give her a piece of paper and a pen.

Phone number? Mu Lin was a bit puzzled.

"Yes, let me check." Mu Lin flipped through her cellphone’s contact list and quickly recited the number. Only then did she ask, "Where is your cellphone?" It felt odd that Ya Yan had to call to ask for Yan Zilei’s number.

She had saved it previously when Yan Zilei called her once.

"It was stolen just now." Sighing, Ya Yan explained helplessly, as if making fun of herself. Quickly, she added, "But I’m okay." She was afraid that Mu Lin would worry.

"That’s good then." Mu Lin breathed a sigh of relief. This little bunny did seem to attract trouble, "Where are you now?" Maybe now she had some idea of where this call was coming from.

Just as expected.

"I’m at my brother’s company." said Ya Yan, giving a glance to the nearby staff member and continuing, "But I was stopped by someone here. I heard there are many people trying to impersonate me, so..." Even without saying so, Mu Lin could understand the implications of her words, "I also lost my cellphone, and since I came out alone, so..."

Another ’so’!

Mu Lin chuckled, "So you called me." Mu Lin completed the sentence for her.

Ya Yan gave an embarrassed laugh, "I will definitely remember my brother’s number next time." She was now incredibly grateful to have remembered Mu Lin’s number, otherwise, she didn’t know how she would find her brother. Would she have to wait all day in this hall? It sounded dreadfully boring.

Hearing that, Mu Lin made no comment.

One could only wonder what kind of reaction Yan Zilei would have if he knew that Ya Yan had remembered her number but not his.

Mu Lin thought, it was bound to be quite spectacular.

If it was Jing Chen...Mu Lin was a bit curious about what kind of expression he would have.

Expressionless, wronged? Or... various Jing Chens flashed in front of Mu Lin’s eyes, and Mu Lin’s eyes curved with interest, feeling that such an image would be quite fascinating.

Jing Chen, on the other hand, stood beside Mu Lin, watching her laugh gently.

Although he didn’t know what Mu Lin was thinking, for Jing Chen, seeing the arc of Mu Lin’s smile was an exceptionally happy and fortunate thing.

There was only satisfaction.

Afterward, after hanging up the phone, Ya Yan looked up to find several pairs of eyes on her and the note in her hand, their gazes filled with strong suspicion.

Mysteriously, thinking about the conversation she just had with Mu Lin, Ya Yan suddenly wanted to laugh.

These people could not be suspecting that she was here colluding with someone to deceive them! Ya Yan expressed that she didn’t have such a good mood.

However, having made a call to Mu Lin, Ya Yan’s mood improved significantly at this moment. No matter her gloom or anything else, it basically dissipated completely. However, before she had time to say anything else, the main gate of the Ya Family opened again.

With her graceful figure and slender waist, slightly lifting her chin as she walked, there was a breeze following her. The large sunglasses almost covered half of her face. She was bewitchingly attractive, matching her flaming red lips. The sight of her devilish figure made several men around her unconsciously swallow their saliva,

Feeling the countless adoring gazes shifting her way, the woman lifted her chin even higher.

She enjoyed this feeling and attention, as well as her current status; of course, she hoped that in the future, she could reach even greater heights.

Ya Yan picked up the phone, ready to make a call, but then she heard the soft voices from the side, and among them, a name she particularly disliked.

Lai Ou.

Hearing these two words, without hesitation, Ya Yan thought about what had happened before her eyes previously.

Furrowing her brows, Ya Yan put down the phone, turned around, and looked at the flamboyantly dressed woman, giving a cold snort.

What was she doing at the Ya’s house?

Looking at Lai Ou’s bewitching appearance, Ya Yan still felt extremely disgusted and annoyed, not hiding it at all; she had noticed before that this woman was quite covetous of their Leilei.

Perhaps Ya Yan’s gaze was too "passionate", Lai Ou, who was originally moving forward, suddenly glanced in her direction, and then upon seeing Ya Yan’s petite figure, she paused momentarily. Her bewitching red lips lifted into a smirk, and she turned around, walking step by step in her direction.

Elegant and haughty.

"Miss Lai." Being the goddess of otaku, it was quite normal for her not to be liked by women sometimes.

For instance, the previously polite staff members didn’t like her, anyone could tell that this Miss Lai was infatuated with their CEO. They were also unsure about how she got the endorsements from their Ya Family.

Even though she was a star, this was the Ya Family; this was a matter of endless speculation.

After all, there were more than one popular stars at present.

That being said, they wouldn’t let their personal emotions interfere with work. After all, there were some people they couldn’t afford to offend, no matter how much they disliked them.

With their low-level positions, a casual word from above could make them unable to make a living in Ming City, or even in other large businesses, they would have no place to stay.

"Long time no see." Standing in front of Ya Yan, Lai Ou took off her sunglasses, revealing her stunning face to everyone.

Ya Yan gave a cold snort.

The makeup is really heavy, even from a distance, you could see the powder floating on her face.

This was Ya Yan’s sarcasm.

In fact, the makeup on Lai Ou’s face was indeed quite heavy, but there was no floating powder; after all, she had meticulously dressed up to come here, and wouldn’t allow any mistakes.

She wouldn’t give up that easily on CEO Yan.

In the entertainment industry, if you don’t have a powerful person backing you, even if you’re very popular, it’s easy for others to play you. Moreover, you can’t guarantee that you will always be popular.

She wouldn’t allow her future to follow the filthy paths some others had previously taken.

Looking at Lai Ou with a casual glance, "May I ask who are you?" Her fine eyebrows arched, at this moment she was very similar to Mu Lin, with a cold and indifferent look, Ya Yan indeed hid her disgust very well.

Mu Lin once said that sometimes, you need to be poker-faced; especially when dealing with love rivals.

These words had indeed become Ya Yan’s motto, Ya Yan admitted, it was something she could use for a lifetime.
