Senior, wrong!

Chapter 22 Epilogue
It's graduation season again.

Time flies, and as the saying goes, there is always a banquet that ends forever, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for Ye Taotao and Song Linlin's college students to go their separate ways for their own futures.

Song Linlin was dejected and prepared to go to the postgraduate entrance examination because she failed the departmental examination, while Du Chengcheng, a senior in the same dormitory, chose to go abroad for further study after working for a year.

Xu Qiyuan was not admitted to the civil service, and became an urban management officer like Zhen Tianyu, and was ridiculed by a group of friends—after Zhen Tianyu became an urban management officer by surprise, Xu Qiyuan also laughed at him wantonly, and teased him just because he saw Zhen Tianyu's appearance. With a face, those peddlers were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Unexpectedly, after graduating in the second year, Xu Qiyuan himself became a member of the urban management by accident and coincidence, and it just so happened that his immediate boss was... Zhen Tianyu.

For this, Xu Qiyuan could only silently shed two lines of kelp tears of regret in his heart.

In fact, Ye Taotao has been preparing for the exam since her sophomore year, but after all, she is facing the exam known as "the first exam in China", so nervousness is inevitable.

It is indeed my duty to appease my girlfriend's nervousness, so Ling Yan, who was about to graduate at the time, suggested, "Why don't I take the exam first to find out for you?"

Just like that, Ling Yan went to sign up for the exam.

...Ye Taotao naively thought that someone would always put her at the bottom.

Who knew that it was unintentional, and it turned out that Ling Yan from the Faculty of Science actually passed the exam, and it was considered a high score of more than 500 points.

Ye Taotao: QAQ why does she always feel more stressed!

Fortunately, after nearly two years of preparation and with Ling Yan's help, Si Kao finally passed the test without any risk.
And Ye Taotao's graduation internship location has been decided long ago - it is a law firm that Ling Yan co-founded with others after the internship period.

Because of this, while others were still worrying about where to practice, Ye Taotao had already boarded her boyfriend's convenience car.

Although they are all graduates who just came out of the ivory tower of the university, not all of them are like Ling Yan—in just a few years, he opened a joint venture law firm with several seniors from the same school.

Because Ye Taotao was very busy in the last two years of college and never appeared in the office, almost everyone thought Ling Yan was single.

Although he not only once emphasized that he has a girlfriend, but everyone who has never seen him very close to any woman took this as his excuse and made fun of him from time to time, especially Sun Junkai, one of the partners.

Coincidentally, there were several girls who came in with Ye Taotao, which seemed to give him some kind of illusion.

"Boss," looking at the new girls, Sun Junkai put his shoulders carelessly and said winkingly, "There are a lot of girls recruited this time, to be honest, are you looking for your own welfare? "

Ling Yan glanced at him helplessly, and was about to speak, when a delicate female voice suddenly came to his ears: "Lawyer Ling, um... are you free at noon? I think..."

The person who spoke was one of the newcomers, his name was Ding Lan, and like Ye Taotao, he was an intern who had just passed the departmental examination. He had some background in his family, and he came in for an internship through the relationship of another partner.

Ding Lan was talking to herself, but she didn't notice that Ling Yan's eyes passed her and fixed behind her.Before she finished speaking, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Sorry, I already have an appointment."

"What? But..." Ding Lan was taken aback, but Ling Yan's polite but alienated eyes softened completely, and she stretched out her hand to pull a girl behind her.

Ding Lan had a certain impression of this girl, knowing that she was Ye Taotao who came in with him, her face turned a little ugly.

Sun Junkai looked at this scene, but his eyes lit up: "Boss, you..."

Reminiscent of Ling Yan's consistent style of being "unfeminine", he was already prepared to hear answers like "my sister", "my sister", "my cousin" and "my cousin", but he did not expect ——

"My girlfriend." Ling Yan answered without doubt.

That short sentence broke Ding Lan's heart.

But Sun Junkai watched the two go away in a daze. After a long while, he stretched out his hand and closed his chin, and muttered in a low voice: "It's only been a few days since I came here. As expected of the boss, the speed is really fast enough."

With the existence of Sun Laba Kai, the relationship between Ling Yan and Ye Taotao quickly spread in the office.

And thanks to him, Ye Taotao also received a lot of gossip, either blatantly or secretly, which made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long - at noon, everyone in the office went to have lunch.

Because Ling Yan was still negotiating with clients, Ye Taotao felt that there was nothing to do, looking at the empty office, she propped her chin in a daze.

At this time, a 40-year-old woman came to the law firm.She was wearing a light blue coat with a gentle temperament.She stopped at the entrance of the office and looked around, as if looking for something.

Ye Taotao hurriedly stood up and greeted her, "May I help you?"

The woman looked at her, and said hesitantly, "Is Lawyer Ling Yan in?"

"Are you looking for...Lawyer Ling? He is meeting with a client now, would you like to sit down?" Ye Taotao beckoned her to sit down and poured her another cup of hot tea.

"Okay, thank you so much." The woman thanked with a smile.

Ye Taotao always felt that the woman in front of her was very similar to someone she knew when she smiled, but... she couldn't remember it for a while.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Ye Taotao returned a polite smile.

The woman looked at Ye Taotao with gentle eyes, and suddenly asked such a question: "Little girl, do you have a boyfriend?"

"...Yes, Auntie, why do you ask such a question?" Ye Taotao was taken aback for a moment, but still answered truthfully.

"It's a pity, I still want to introduce you to my son." A look of disappointment appeared on the woman's face, "I didn't expect good girls to have boyfriends?"

Ye Taotao: "..."

"Before my son had never been in a relationship, he was hanging out with a group of boys all day long, which made me worry that he didn't like girls." The woman paused, and then continued, "However, when he was a junior He suddenly told me that he has a partner."

Ye Taotao was a little puzzled: "So, shouldn't Auntie be happy for your son?"

The woman couldn't help sighing: "He told me that girl looks very cute." She paused, looking very worried, "But who doesn't know now, there is a popular saying recently: If she is so cute, she must be a boy. "

"..." As an outsider, Ye Taotao was very embarrassed about this topic, so she had to change the topic: "Auntie, is your son still in college?"

But as soon as the words fell, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from not far away, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Sister Taotao, we meet again!"

Ling Jing, who came out of nowhere, ran forward quickly, hugged Ye Taotao's thigh, and rubbed excitedly: "I miss you so much."

Ye Taotao couldn't react.

When she was about to say something, the woman interrupted her with a slightly reproachful voice: "Xiao Jing, this is not home, don't be naughty."

Ling Jing froze when she heard the sound, and immediately let go of Ye Taotao's hand, her eyes rolled around guiltily: "Mom, didn't you say you came to find brother?"

Mother?Ye Taotao was shocked.

Ling Jing is Ling Yan's younger sister, so the person Ling Jing calls "Mom" isn't...

If by this time, Ye Taotao still can't guess the identity of the woman in front of her, then she might as well bump her head into the tofu.

No wonder she found this aunt's smile so familiar.

It turned out that she was Ling Yan and Ling Jing's mother, Mother Ling.

She had thought about countless scenarios of meeting Ling Yan's parents, but she never thought that she would meet his mother so suddenly under such circumstances.

It really caught her off guard.

"Auntie, is Xiaojing your daughter?" Although she had the answer in her heart, she still couldn't help asking the woman for confirmation.

"Yes, this is my daughter." Mother Ling nodded with a smile, and asked in surprise, "But, little girl, do you know Xiaojing?"

"I……"

Just when Ye Taotao didn't know how to react, the most familiar voice finally reached his ears.

"Mom? Why did you come to the office?"

Ling's mother turned her head, looked at Ling Yan who was walking towards her slowly, and showed a relieved smile: "I went shopping with Xiaojing today, and I happened to pass by your office, so I just stopped by to see you."

She paused, and then explained: "I didn't see you just now, but this enthusiastic little girl greeted me."

Noticing Ye Taotao standing beside Ling's mother, Ling Yan was slightly taken aback, and after a while, a gentle smile spread on his lips: "So that's how it is."

Facing Ling Yan's meaningful gaze, Ye Taotao felt his face heat up, subconsciously looked away and looked elsewhere.

At this moment, an impulse suddenly arose in her heart—she really wanted to run away like this, but her feet seemed to be rooted, and they were firmly nailed in place, unable to move a single step.

"Very cute girl, right?" Ling's mother glanced at Ye Taotao with a smile, then looked at her son with meaningful eyes, and mentioned it casually, "Speaking of it, Ayan, didn't you say that today Let me meet your girlfriend?"

As she spoke, she added another sentence: "Don't lie to mom."

Ling Yan was a little surprised and asked back: "My girlfriend? Mom, haven't you met?"

"Oh? When did I see you?" Ling's mother was taken aback, a little surprised.

Under his mother's surprised gaze, Ling Yan walked quickly to Ye Taotao's side, took her hand naturally, and then looked at his mother, still smiling calmly: "Let me introduce, she is mine. girlfriend."

"But the little girl didn't say she has a boyfriend..." Mother Ling reacted very quickly, and soon understood what was going on.

After less than a second of petrification, the automatic response ability was activated instantly, and Ye Taotao immediately entered a conditioned reflex state.

She introduced herself nervously: "Hello, Auntie, it's the first time we meet, I'm Ye Taotao."

"So your name is Taotao." Mother Ling looked at the two of them with an ambiguous smile, "But, are you still called Auntie?"

Ye Taotao: "...Hello, Auntie."

Ling's mother immediately laughed like a flower: "Sure enough, she is a very cute girl."

Ye Taotao: "..."

Why does she always feel that Ling's mother has forgotten the words "so cute, it must be a boy" she said just now?

However, as Ling Yan once mentioned to her, Mother Ling is indeed a very easy person to get along with.

Completely ignoring her own son and daughter, Ling's mother pulled Ye Taotao very affectionately and talked a lot about the family, with such enthusiasm that it was almost unbearable.

"About you, I have known a little about you. Ever since I found out that Ayan has a girlfriend, I have always wanted to see you. At first I always thought that the one who fell in love with him was a boy. It seems that I was wrong. ..."

"Tao Tao, when will you and A Yan come to my house as guests? By the way, what do you like to eat? Remember to tell me when you come, I have to prepare in advance..."

Hearing her mother's words, Ling Jing pursed her lips a little dissatisfied, and protested: "Ah, mother, you are so partial! You don't make me anything I want to eat."

"When you bring your boyfriend home, I can do it for you." Ling Jing's confident words easily defeated Ling Jing.

Withdrawing her gaze, Ling's mother looked at Ye Taotao again, and said with a smile: "By the way, Taotao, when will you marry in? Why don't you and Ayan get married after graduation? The child born in the future must be very good, and can completely inherit the excellent genes of you and A Yan, and must be a beautiful and smart little grandson, and the little granddaughter is not bad..."

Ye Taotao: "..."

What Ling's mother said, the former ones are still normal, but the latter ones... Now that I say it, isn't it a bit far away?
Although she has reached the working age, Ye Taotao can't help but feel shy after hearing those words.

She looked up at Ling Yan, but he just looked at them with a smile, which made her at a loss for a moment.

"...Taotao, what do you think of my proposal?"

Hearing Mama Ling's question, Ye Taotao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Auntie, I..."

But halfway through the conversation, she couldn't speak.

"Ah, it's just like what A Yan said, Tao Zi is very shy." Ling's mother pursed her lips and looked at Ling Yan again, "She is indeed a very cute girl. I finally understand why A Yan said that."

"..."

Ye Taotao finally understood who Ling Jing's little sister's character was like. Her character was exactly the same as that of Ling's mother.

As if he finally saw Ye Taotao's predicament, Ling Yan opened his mouth to help her: "Mom, you're scaring Taotao."

"Ah, I understand." A gleam of understanding flashed in Ling's mother's eyes, "A Yan, I planned to go to dinner with you, but since you have already made an appointment, Xiao Jing and I will go back first. You have to get along well with Taotao."

Ling Jing also nodded at the side and said, "Brother, we're leaving, so I won't disturb you." She waved to the two of them, then followed her mother and left with a smile.

After get off work, Ling Yan drove Ye Taotao home.

Although I encountered such a surprising thing as "meeting the parents" today, perhaps because Ling's mother is very easy to get along with, Ye Taotao quickly calmed down and turned her attention to the most urgent thing at present— —

graduation thesis.

Just when Ye Taotao started complaining about her tutor's unreasonable demands for the nth time, Ling Yan, who had been listening with a smile on his face, suddenly spoke up. While holding the steering wheel steadily, he said casually, "After graduation, let's get married." .”

"You don't even know what he... what?" Just halfway through speaking, Ye Taotao realized what he just said belatedly, a little caught off guard, and stared at him dumbfounded.

Was he... was he proposing marriage just now?

However, Ling Yan didn't seem to realize how much shock his words had brought to her heart. After finishing the endless sentence, she didn't speak again. The profile of her face looked as calm as ever, as if her attention was focused on On the matter of driving.

Just when Ye Taotao was in doubt, thinking that what she just heard was a hallucination...

red light.

Ling Yan stepped on the brakes and looked sideways at her, with layers of smiles smeared in his black eyes: "The parents have seen each other, could it be that Taotao wants to renege on you?"

Ye Taotao suppressed her heartbeat, pretending to be calm and asked back: "Am I like this kind of person?"

"So... Taotao, what's your answer?" His calm voice seemed to carry a trace of imperceptible tension.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Okay."

In a blink of an eye, the green light came on.

The car restarted.

In the end, Ye Taotao didn't know how she got home.

A breeze blows in from the window, filling the room with the breath of spring.

Looking at the scallions on the window sill gently swaying in the breeze, Ye Taotao felt a feeling of emotion spreading in her heart——

Full of happiness.
