The Devil’s love

Not waiting for them to say anything further, she started directing them towards their rooms. She had made sure to use the room which was downstairs for Yitong and Helena because she didn't want them to bump into Yichan all the time. Assuming that Yichan had less issues with Yitian, she gave him the room upstairs.

"There is everything that you need so I dont think you'll have a problem." Turning towards Yitian, Ning added, "Your room is upstairs, come with me." ​​

….

Yitian's room.

After showing him the room, Ning was about to leave when Yitian stopped her.

"Sister Ning—" Stopping midway, he awkwardly inquired, "Can I call you sister Ning?" When she nodded her head in agreement, he continued, "Can I get a study table and a chair? Actually, I have enrolled in a college so I need to start studying."

"College in this city?" When Yitian nodded his head, she answered, "Hmm, I'll ask someone to get it for you."

"Thank you so much and please thank—" Hesitating for a while, he awkwardly stood there for sometime before continuing, "Thank him from my side too."

Without saying anything, Ning nodded her head before walking out of the room

….

Ning and Yichan's room.

"So done greeting the uninvited guests?"

Taking out her work clothes from the wardrobe, she said, "I think your father has no intention of going back this time."

"Hmm did he tell you this?" he inquired.

She shook her head and answered, "No but Yitian told me that he enrolled in a college which is in the city so I assumed that maybe they are staying."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he casually asked, "So you had a talk with him? Like a real talk?"

"Not really, he just wanted a study table and chair where he could study so—"

"He should get his own study table and chair, why should we get him one?" he snapped.

Walking towards the washroom, Ning chuckled, "It's just a chair and table Yi, why are you fussing about it?"

"Well, we do have to pay for that right? I just dont want our heard earned money to be wasted on a stupid chair and table when he can also study on the floor," he added.

Popping her head out of the washroom, she raised her brows, "Are you fussing about wasting money on a chair and table when the suit you are wearing is almost ten times more expensive? Well, I think even your tie is more expensive than a table and chair."

"Honey these are clothes, they keep me warm and it makes your handsome husband look more handsome but what will that chair and table do for us? It's such a waste of money." While Yichan kept whining about it, Ning helplessly shook her head and closed the washroom door.

…..

Yang Corporation.

Ning's office.

Ning was busy going through the documents when one of the employees entered the office, "Boss, the candidates are here."

"Hmm, send them in," she instructed before keeping the documents aside. Since Meili had other things to do and also assuming that she wont work for her anymore, Ning was trying to look for an assistant who could at least manage a few things without creating any kind of chaos.

"What are so many candidates sitting outside saying that they are here for an interview?" Meili snapped as soon as she entered the office.

"Mei, what are you doing here?" Ning was shocked and surprised at the same time. She wasn't expecting Meili to show up in the office today.

Placing her hand on her hip, Meili raised her brows, "I am so glad that I arrived right now before you were trying to make me unemployed." Without waiting for Ning's reply, she added, "So I don't come to office for a day and you fire me? What the hell are you trying to do?"

"I am not firing you, I just thought that after you resign I will be needing someone to help me out here in the office so—"

Cutting her off, Meili frowned, ��Wait what? Who told you that I am resigning?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Ning answered, "Well since everything is okay now and Guiren is taking over Zhang corporation—"

"So you assumed that I won't work for you anymore?" When Ning nodded her head, she sighed, "Don't be crazy, me working here has nothing to be with Guire taking over Zhang corporation. I work here because I like it and I will continue doing so until you ask me to stop."

"So you are not leaving me?" When she shook her head, Ning rushed towards her and gave her a hug. "Ah you have no idea how relieved I am, I had no idea what I would've done without you by my side Mei."

"You would be a mess, how can I leave my best friend all messy?"

Pulling away, Ning curiously inquired, "But what about Guiren's parents?"

"I actually wanted to talk to you about them, I seriously don't know how I should react, Ning and it's scaring the shit out of me." Sitting on the couch, Meili added, "It feels so weird."

"What is it? Did they tell you something again?" Ning frowned.

Meili sighed and nodded her head, "They did tell me something." Pausing for a while, she continued, "They told me that I am free to do anything that I want and they don't have any objection, they will never pressure me to have a baby and they even apologized for doing that before."

Scrunching her brows, Ning pursed her lips. "And how is that bad? They have already accepted you and your relationship with Guiren so maybe they want to make up for the things they did in the past. I think they are doing this to make themselves feel guilt free and if you think this is suspicious, I understand why you are feeling that way but I think everything is normal. They wanted Guiren to take over everything and he did because you asked him to so they are very grateful to you."
