Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 215 - 208: For the First Time in My Life

Bai Yiran got ready in the morning and was about to leave for work when she saw Old Zheng at the staircase. Old Zheng had a back injury not long ago, and his health wasn’t very good now. Usually, he needed a break after climbing a flight of stairs.

"Good morning, Uncle Zheng."

"Good morning." Old Zheng looked a bit awkward and didn’t show Bai Yiran the usual enthusiasm.

Bai Yiran noticed but didn’t say anything. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered the man she saw at the building entrance yesterday and couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle Zheng, last night I saw a man with a scar near his eye at the entrance. Is he a resident here?"

Because the residents of this building were quite simple, Bai Yiran hadn’t lived here for too long, but she had already met most people, and none of them were this scarred man.

When Old Zheng heard this, his face changed drastically. "Where did you see him?"

Bai Yiran found it strange but repeated, "At the entrance, of course."

Old Zheng’s face was the picture of dread, but he didn’t ask Bai Yiran anything more and quickly retreated to his house, slamming the door shut.

Bai Yiran was startled by the sound of Old Zheng’s door closing. She wondered what was wrong with the old man.

Perhaps that scarred man used to be a neighborhood bully here, and that’s why Old Zheng is scared upon hearing his name? From his appearance, he didn’t seem like a good person. It looks like she should be more careful when going out in the future.

Bai Yiran checked her watch; she was running late and hastened her steps to leave.

As she went out, Bai Yiran happened upon a taxi, thinking she was almost late, she got in directly.

"Driver, to XX Road, please."

"Okay." The driver looked up and checked the rearview mirror. "Miss, do you know the man behind you?"

Bai Yiran turned around and saw the scarred man standing behind the car that had just started, looking at her with a grim expression.

Bai Yiran was shocked and quickly turned back, "I don’t know him. Please drive fast!"

"Alright!" The driver stepped hard on the gas pedal. "Nowadays, young ladies should be careful when going out; there are more and more bad people."

Bai Yiran felt a bit uneasy, wondering who that man was and why he was staring at her.

To avoid Yiran being late, the driver intentionally chose routes with less traffic, getting her to the company with time to spare.

The place she lived was close to the company, so the fare amounted to just the starting price.

Bai Yiran reached into her bag for her wallet, and a photo fell out. Nervously, she quickly picked up the photo, dusting off the dirt on it.

The photo showed her and a little boy, taken at a welfare home. The boy had big eyes and a small dimple when he smiled. Bai Yiran stared at the photo, slightly dazed.

"Miss?"

Only when the driver reminded her did she snap back to her senses, hurriedly paid, got out of the car, and put the photo back into her wallet.

Just as she reached the company, she saw the receptionist Xiao Zhang looking at her with a giggling smile, "Good morning, Yiran."

"What’s making you act so mysterious?"

"You’ll know when you go inside."

With Xiao Zhang’s vague words leaving her confused, Bai Yiran entered her office, astonished to find her desk resplendent with 9,999 roses!

This was the first time Bai Yiran had ever received roses in her life!
