Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive

Hearing Lina’s words, Ling Tianya remembered the relationship between Lina and Cheng Chen. Cheng Chen once told her that his first love was a lot older than him. Also, Cheng Chen frequently said that, if the child of his first love was still with them, she would be about the same age as Ling Tianya.

Ling Tianya wanted to confirm that Lina was Cheng Chen’s first love. If she truly was, perhaps their relationship could take a step further. After all, they both knew Cheng Chen.

However, after a moment of thought, Ling Tianya decided that it was their business. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to ask Lina such a rude question. Also, considering that Cheng Chen was such a wild and free soul, Lina might have been hurt when their relationship ended. If Ling Tianya asked about it, Lina might not be happy with her.

Therefore, Ling Tianya decided to let the topic drop.

Though Ling Tianya didn’t ask, Lina brought up the topic of Cheng Chen herself. “Cheng Chen cares about you. I got the feeling it was more than the care one has for a colleague.”

Ling Tianya wasn’t sure why Lina would ask her that. However, she couldn’t avoid answering the question. “He is my partner, as well as a close friend whom I trust. Our relationship is as simple as that.”

Lina raised one of her eyebrows. “Cheng Chen said almost the same thing.”

Ling Tianya read between the lines of that comment, realizing that Lina and Cheng Chen had met privately.

Noticing the slight change in Ling Tianya’s expression, Lina smiled. “Yes, we met privately. I suppose you don’t know yet; I was his first girlfriend.”

Since Lina had brought the topic up herself, Ling Tianya said, “So you were his first love, President Li. When we were at Ming Xuan, I had thought that was possible.”

“He told you about that?” Lina was a bit surprised. “I guess you are close friends.”

Ling Tianya nodded. “He frequently tells me that, if your child was still here, she would be about the same age as me.”

“She is still here,” Lina said calmly.

“What?” Ling Tianya didn’t follow.

“I’m saying that our child is still alive.” Lina’s face was filled with hope and excitement. “I just found out about this recently myself. That’s why I came back to this country. The main reason I’m here is to find my daughter.”

Hearing those words, Ling Tianya froze for a moment. A strange feeling arose in her heart. Ling Tianya then smiled and said, “Then I hope you find your daughter soon.”

“I sure will. I will find her.” Lina looked at Ling Tianya with determination in her eyes, and her faith in finding her daughter grew stronger.

…

The old lady wanted to have some pickled vegetables, but she refused to eat anything bought off the shelf. She demanded that Huang Ying make some for her by hand.

Huang Ying had no idea how to pickle vegetables. She had to ask the housekeeper how to do it, then figure the rest out herself.

Holding her phone in her hand, Xu Cheng wrinkled her nose as she walked toward Huang Ying. Seeing that Huang Ying was making pickles, she asked in irritation, “Why would you make this out of the blue? The smell!”

Noticing her daughter’s uncalled for outburst of anger, Huang Ying asked Xu Cheng with curiosity, “What happened to you? Who’s gotten under your skin?”

Xu Cheng didn’t say a word, but her face remained stormy.

Who had gotten under her skin? Who could it be? Of course, it was that d*mn Eric!

A few days before, he was asking her out to dinner and chatting with her affectionately. Now, he had vanished as if he was never there.

As Xu Cheng stood there and fumed, a phone rang.

Xu Cheng looked at her phone immediately, then realized that it was silent.

Huang Ying looked at Xu Cheng, confused. She took out her own phone and saw a phone number she had never seen before on her screen.

“Hello?”

“Is that Huang Ying?”

“Yes, and who is this?”

“Hi. My name is Eric.”
