"There's absolutely no gossip!!!" Lan Ruo Yi emphasized once again, frustrated that this person was convinced they were hiding something. "So what are you two looking at?" Bai Juan asked curiously. If there was no gossip, then what were they sneaking around for? There had to be something!
"Ah?" Zhang Baofeng sounded a bit disappointed, but Bai Juan's question piqued his curiosity again. "What are you two huddling together for?" Before they could figure out how to respond, another voice chimed in, causing Liu Ru Yan's eyes to lose their sparkle.
"Hey, should we say anything?" Liu Ru Yan asked Lan Ruo Yi, feeling conflicted. Lan Ruo Yi gritted her teeth and replied, "What else can we do?"
"Damn it, this is so annoying!"
"Don't you think someone is missing today?" As soon as Liu Ru Yan said this, everyone except Lan Ruo Yi had a strange expression on their faces. Liu Ru Yan didn't notice, but Lan Ruo Yi, who had been observing everyone's reactions, caught on. A flicker of something crossed her eyes as she heard them start to laugh awkwardly.
"Ah... haha... who’s missing?" Tian Luo's expression was a bit stiff; he then glanced at Zhang Baofeng as if blaming him for bringing up the gossip topic. Zhang Baofeng clearly thought the same but ignored Tian Luo's look and turned his sharp gaze to Lan Ruo Yi and Liu Ru Yan. "How did you two notice?" His tone was different from his usual demeanor.
"Isn't it obvious? She hasn't shown up yet!" Upon hearing this from Lan Ruo Yi, Bai Juan discreetly tugged at Zhang Baofeng's sleeve, signaling him not to be so sensitive. Zhang Baofeng realized he had overthought it and relaxed his gaze.
"You’re right; I just remembered something I need to do. I’ll be busy now," he said, losing interest in continuing the conversation and walked away with his tea cup.
Bai Juan and Tian Luo exchanged glances at his exaggerated performance and forced smiles.
"Didn’t you notice?" Liu Ru Yan continued asking the remaining two as if oblivious to the group's mood. Tian Luo looked at Bai Juan, who understood immediately and waved her hand at the two of them to come closer.
As they leaned in, Bai Juan whispered, "I heard she resigned!" Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi exchanged shocked glances; Bai Juan watched as their mouths slowly opened in disbelief and instinctively covered them with her hand.
"Shh! Don’t say anything!"
"What the hell? Is that true?" Liu Ru Yan exclaimed with a hint of vulgarity. Not far away, a man lurking around the corner twitched his lips and silently typed: Boss, the lady is already using filler words.
Liu Yuchuan: ? What nonsense is this again?
Liu Er: Sigh...
Liu Yuchuan: ...?
Liu Yuchuan didn’t understand what was wrong with his subordinate, but right now, the most important thing was the collaboration in front of him.
"Mo, looking forward to our cooperation."
"Liu Zong, looking forward to our cooperation."
"Aaaahhh!" Lan Ruo Yi felt her head about to explode. Ever since she learned this news, Liu Ru Yan had been acting like a madwoman.
"Shut up!" Lan Ruo Yi snapped at Liu Ru Yan, finally gaining a moment of peace in her mind.
"I know you're anxious, but don’t rush!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? With everything going on, how can I not be anxious? Am I crazy?" Liu Ru Yan strongly disagreed with Lan Ruo Yi's words; after all, they were confirming matters from their past lives! Would they face death again?
"Do you remember how we died in our past lives?" Lan Ruo Yi asked Liu Ru Yan for clarification. Just as Liu Ru Yan opened her mouth to respond, she realized she couldn’t remember anything.
"You don’t remember either?" Seeing Liu Ru Yan’s expression, Lan Ruo Yi guessed correctly; she could vividly recall how they died but not why it happened. Death couldn’t be random; there must have been a reason. How could it be that only the two of them died in the Cold Palace when the door was locked?
"Don’t panic; Sister Na just resigned; it shouldn’t lead to death—after all, we live in a society governed by law." After saying this, Lan Ruo Yi noticed the complicated look in Liu Ru Yan's eyes and realized her words were somewhat naive.
After returning to her desk, Bai Juan found Zhang Baofeng approaching her with a gloomy voice. "You told those two? You seem pretty close with them." He said this without waiting for Bai Juan’s reaction before moving away. Bai Juan ignored his sarcastic tone; Zhang Baofeng was always like that—whoever engaged with him must be out of their mind.
"Tian Luo: Are you sure saying that is okay?"
Bai Juan glanced at the two ahead and chuckled dismissively while shrugging her shoulders but continued working without pause.
"Don’t worry; even if you tell them the answer, do you think they’d believe it based on their expressions?" After receiving this message, Tian Luo peeked out from behind his desk at their state and silently nodded without replying to Bai Juan. He realized he might be overly cautious; ever since joining this company and interacting with them daily, he had been on high alert. The presence of these two eased his nerves slightly. He never used to generalize people but felt overly careful around them now—there was no need for such caution.
Meanwhile, Lan Ruo Yi and Liu Ru Yan remained unaware of what others thought of them; they felt somewhat stiff now.
"Get back to work; stop holding hands—I know you two are close," Li Meng lightly tapped their desks as she passed by. Watching them release their grip on each other’s hands, she walked away.
At that moment, Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi pretended not to continue the topic; their gazes were fixed on the computer screen while their hands remained still.
"Li Meng is really something," Lan Ruo Yi remarked casually.
Liu Ru Yan was still adjusting from the abrupt change of topic and asked hesitantly, "What do you mean?"
Lan Ruo Yi shot her a glance: "Last night after you finished talking to me, she held my hand—don’t you think that’s strange?"
"It is a bit strange; it’s just too coincidental! Do you know what she said afterward?" As Lan Ruo Yi recalled last night’s events, she felt an odd sensation—it was as if they were playing a game of chess where she and Liu Ru Yan were mere pieces being maneuvered while others watched from the sidelines.
"What did she say?" Liu Ru Yan hadn’t been paying attention afterward; her focus had shifted entirely to Jiang Nan—who had time to care about Li Meng?
