We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 272 Invisible Alienation

Now, what else could Yvonne Jiang say to her? She tried her best to conceal the embarrassment and uneasiness in her heart while maintaining her calm look, "yes. I will keep going."

Yvonne was a perfect woman in all respects, so if the man she caught feelings with were not James Feng, she would shine with confidence all over her.

However, Yvonne had to keep herself humble since she fell in love with James first. Lucky that she was a famous actress and understood human psychology very well. Hence, she could only control her emotions for now.

Jing Lu was a human being, after all. She understood all the tangles and discomfort in Yvonne's heart at this time. She felt a little warmth in her heart and let out a chuckle, "looks like I'll be a matchmaker again today. You should talk with James, let us take care of Weiyue and Juezun."

Indeed, feelings could come to them from anywhere. How could they catch feelings towards each other if they keep distance and not keep in touch? And a kind of everlasting love that started from the first sight was scarce, so to speak, it was a world's treasure.

Upon hearing this, Yvonne's heart went lighter. She knew that this was the olive branch Jing Lu gave her again. To be able to draw James's heart, she had to have a chance to get close with him.

"Thank you, Mrs Lu!" Yvonne expressed her gratitude to her.

Jing Lu smiled tenderly and called James out: "Come here, James."

James, who was playing the robots with the kids, had to come over after Jing Lu called. He seemed to understand Jing Lu's intentions for calling him since she was together with Yvonne in the meantime. But James was clear that he couldn't accept her feelings.

He came to them and asked straightforwardly, "what's wrong? Just tell me!"

He felt somewhat weird by acting this way. James did not want to make their relationship tensed up. Besides, Jing Lu was his mother, so he should take care of her feelings.

Jing Lu noticed his proper attitude and felt proud, then spoke: "James, I will take care of the children, and you should have a good chat with Yvonne. You should balance out your work and personal life, shouldn't you?"

On the other hand, James exactly knew what she tried to imply, and he had to obey her. She wanted him to get along with Yvonne and sought a chance for them to be alone.

It was not so difficult for him to execute it out. However, James did not catch feelings for her, and no one could force him. He felt nothing even from the very start, and it would not change no matter how he tried to get along with her. Let alone Christy Zhong occupied his heart and mind already; no more rooms for anyone else.

Regardless, James went on, boasting of his feelings as he calmly spoke to her: "Alright, Miss Jiang. Let's take a look at the peonies my Grandpa took care of, shall we?"

Leiting Feng indeed was a master of flower cultivation. Many of his favourite flowers, or even ordinary plants, could give off a distinctive aura under his care.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

And peonies radiate a delicate, graceful and poised aura in this garden.

But Yvonne did not care about what flowers to see and cared more about spending time with James. Yvonne wanted to be private with James, so she immediately agreed and said: "I'm honoured to be able to enjoy the peonies together with Brother James."

Jing Lu encouraged them, "yes, go ahead. Those flowers should be blooming by now. Grandpa won't let others look at them usually since he was afraid the flowers would go bad! But he will be delighted if you two pass by because your aura radiates new energy to the plants."

Simply put, she was implying that James and Yvonne had a special aura together.

Still, none of them cared about those anyways. As long as everyone was happy with the outcome, anything else was not a problem.

"Thank you for your praise, Mrs Lu. I rarely see different kinds of peonies, and I might trouble James for explaining about all types of flowers here to me," replied Yvonne. She would not hesitate to grasp every available chance, and sincerely wanted to have more interaction with James.

James showed a wry smile and kept his distance as he finally spoke: "Well said. Now, let's go!"

Jing Lu listened to them and felt as if there was an immeasurable distance between them. But things could still change later, depending on their attitude and wills. Regardless, they were developing this relationship, somehow.

Anyways, no one was certain of what could happen in the future. In this case, why should Jing Lu worry about tomorrow? She should have lived in every moment, and a better tomorrow will gradually arrive. Then, James led Yvonne the way, and they chatted freely along the way. They seemed like two long-time old friends. None of them brought up the sad things, and they could build a happier relationship this way.

Yvonne's love for James was deep, and she wanted to build a closer relationship with him the most.

But she had to pay attention to her eloquence. Yvonne thought she might sound rude and impolite to bring up his personal feelings, and felt better to start the topic from his work. Yvonne asked him: "James, how is your work recently?"

James spoke confidently with his usual icy cold aura: "Not too bad. What's wrong, Miss Jiang? Are there any other big projects we need to take care of?"

She felt ridiculed by asking those, but it also reminded Yvonne something. Since she was willing to please him, she should think about something relatable with her as well.

It was one embarrassing remark and challenging to answer. But for Yvonne Jiang, nothing was impossible. So, she calmly faced and answered him: "James, we should know the prospect of a project before we finally make our cooperation later."

She was right. For two companies to decide on cooperation, they needed to know the final answer from the practice! Indeed, everything was still developing. This project's partnership's success did not necessarily imply another hit for the next project, but the probability was higher.

James smiled indifferently. They were clear in their heart that such conversations did not make much sense, but the atmosphere among them would be awkward if they didn't say anything.
