Chapter 83: Chapter 77: Concealment

Amy saw Bai Yiran coming back empty-handed and expressed displeasure, "Where’s the stuff I asked you to get?"

"Ah?" Bai Yiran reacted a beat too slow, "Oh... that... I..."

"What’s with the stammering? Can’t even get a few things? Are you going to complain about me to the manager?" While speaking, Amy snatched the list from Bai Yiran’s hand, "I’ll have someone else get it!"

"Hey... Manager Ai... well... Li Fei is in the storeroom, she’ll bring those things back later."

It’s possible that if Amy goes to the storeroom, she might bump into Li Fei...

Maybe because Bai Yiran had done similar things before, she instinctively wanted to cover for Li Fei.

Amy didn’t suspect Bai Yiran’s words and returned to the office.

Twenty minutes later, Li Fei returned. When she saw Bai Yiran, she appeared somewhat uneasy and apprehensive, but didn’t explain anything, simply returning to her position to work.

A while later, Chen Lusheng also passed through the office area, and compared to Li Fei’s awkwardness, Chen Lusheng seemed very natural, as if nothing had happened, merely giving Bai Yiran a faint glance before returning to his office.

Until the evening when it was time to clock out, Li Fei couldn’t hold back anymore and stopped Bai Yiran who was about to leave, inviting her to a nearby café for a chat.

"I like the manager." In the café, Li Fei candidly told Bai Yiran, "I liked him from the first time I saw him. Regardless of whether he’s talking or doing things, he’s calm and composed, and always so gentle. I really like him!"

Bai Yiran looked at Li Fei, not knowing what was appropriate to say because nothing seemed right.

Li Fei took a sip of coffee and continued, "I know he has a family, a wife, and kids... I don’t want to ruin his family, I just can’t control myself. What happened today was the first time, I swear it will also be the last! So Yiran, will you keep it secret for me? I can’t lose this job... please help me..."

Li Fei, agitated, grabbed Bai Yiran’s hand, looking at her urgently with tears in her eyes, "I really just couldn’t control my heart in the moment, which is why I did this... I regret it a lot now... I was a virgin before this..."

Li Fei began to cry, feeling both wronged and pitiful. Bai Yiran couldn’t refuse someone like Li Fei, especially since Li Fei was her best friend at Huamei. How could she betray a friend?

In Bai Yiran’s view, the fault in this matter was entirely Chen Lusheng’s. Li Fei was just a simple girl, without any experience in this area before, so how could she ruin someone else’s family?

Bai Yiran held Li Fei’s hand, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."

"Thank you, Yiran!" Li Fei looked at Bai Yiran gratefully.

Bai Yiran knew Li Fei’s family situation wasn’t good. She had come to the city from a small town for university, and getting into Huamei had required a lot of effort. She also had a younger brother attending college who needed her support, so this job was very important to her. Li Fei generally showed that she was indeed a pure and diligent girl, and Bai Yiran had to keep her secret, as she needed this job more than anyone.

Young girls, who doesn’t have fond feelings? Li Fei’s only mistake was choosing the wrong person.

Just like Bai Yiran had once loved that scumbag Luo Chen.

However, Bai Yiran didn’t expect that by agreeing to keep Li Fei’s secret today, she would later bring upon herself a great trouble!
