Crashing Into You - Chapter 236

Tan Ji Nan saw Ho Min Lin sitting at the lounge while she was browsing on her phone. He felt sorry for her for waiting for him for more than 30 minutes.

“Min Lin…” He softly called her when he was already in front of her.

Ho Min Lin raised her head and saw Tan Ji Nan, she immediately stood up and smiled at him.

Tan Ji Nan pulled her to his embrace and stayed to that position for about 2 minutes.

“Ji Nan…” said Ho Min Lin when she felt suffocated on his embrace.

“Don’t move. I just wanted to hug you for another more minutes.” Tan Ji Nan said in a tired voice.

Ho Min Lin heard the tiredness on his voice so she just let Ji Nan embrace her until he finally let her go.

She caressed his face and saw the bags under his eyes. He looked so tired.

“I bought you dinner. However the foods got cold now. We can reheat it thou” she said

Tan Ji Nan looked at the takeaway foods on the table “I’m sorry if you have waited for so long, I just saw my secretary’s message just now.”

Ho Min Lin smiled. She had waited for this man for 8 long years and was willing to wait for him until forever. “No worries!”

Tan Ji Nan picked up the food “Let’s go to the pantry and reheat these foods.”

Ho Min Lin nodded as she stood up. They walked together out of his private office.

The secretary saw Tan Ji Nan and Ho Min Lin went out from his private office and saw the take out food from Tan Ji Nan’s hands.

“Vice President Tan, do you need my help?” She thought that the food was no longer hot because Ho Min Lin has been there for more than 30

minutes “I can help you reheat the food.”

Tan Ji Nan smiled “Thank you but we can do it ourselves”

Ho Min Lin smiled and could not help but admire him more for doing this little thing on his own.

“So how’s your day?” Ho Min Lin asked Tan Ji Nan as he puts the food in the microwave.

“It ain’t over yet. I am just taking a 30 minutes break”

“Oh!” Ho Min Lin “Are you going to work overnight!”

“Not sure thou, it depends if we have close all the issues we’ve encountered during the testing”

“When are you going to go live?”

“On Sunday” Tan Ji Nan said

“You still have tomorrow to fix the issue. Have some sleep Ji Nan”

Tan Ji Nan nodded “Yeah I’ll might sleep in my private room here. Go home after we have dinner.”

Ho Min Lin nodded.

Tan Ji Nan took the food out of the microwave when they heard the tick sound.

Ho Min Lin helped him put the food on the table.

“Let’s go out of the country after we release this project.” Tan Ji Nan said.

Ho Min Lin was surprised when she heard it “We just travelled to the Hong Kong two weeks ago.”

“I need a vacation. I want to go the beach”

Ho Min Lin thought for awhile. “Okay, what country are you planning to visit?”

“You can choose whichever you like.” Tan Ji Nan said.

Ho Min Lin smiled and thought of the Pulong Sea that Song Dei Si and Yan Mor Tee has visited for their honeymoon.

“We can go to the Pulong Sea” Ho Min Lin said with too much excitement on her voice.

“Philippines?”

“Uhm. Song Dei Si told me that it is such a beautiful island.”

“It was their honeymoon location right?”

“Uhm.” Ho Min Lin answered.

Tan Ji Nan curled up his lips “Is it going to be our pre-honeymoon trip?”

“What are you spouting? You have not proposed on me yet?” Ho Min Lin pouted her lips.

Tan Ji Nan laughed. He looked at her pouted lips and he took a peck on it.

Ho Min Lin pupil was dilated and looked at the surroundings. When she saw that it was only the two of them in the pantry he gave Tan Jia Nan a peck too.

Tan Ji Nan gave her a teasing smile “Should I cancel the meeting now, and let just stay in my private room after dinner?”

Ho Min Lin gave him a glaring look.

Tan Ji Nan smiled and messed up her hair “You’re so cute. I’m just joking”

“Jokes are half-meant!”

Tan Ji Nan laughed. “No harm in trying!”

Ho Min Lin thought for awhile again after she chewed a piece of pork steak. “Are we going to bring along Ja Nin in our vacation?”

“No, she will be busy filming the commercial for Shunshinati’s new mobile phone.”

“Wow! She is going to be the new face of Shunshinati? Isn’t it the electronics company of Lee Jin Ho’s family.”

“Right? How did you know it? Ja Nin didn’t know at first that it is owned by the Lee’s.”

“I used to like Lee Jin Ho before so I’ve researced so much about him.” Ho Min Lin said and would like to take back her words when she saw the frown on Tan Ji Nan’s face, but she teased him instead “Jealous?”

“Why did you like him from the past?” Tan Ji Nan asked. He still cannot accept it that Ho Min Lin rejected his love before because of Lee Jin Ho.

“He was such a handsome dude before” Ho Min Lin answered as a matter of factly.

“Am I not handsome?” Tan Ji Nan frowned.

“You were fat when we were in High School” Ho Min Lin chuckled.

“Did you just like me because I am no longer fat?” Tan Ji Nan flashed a pained expression on his face.

Ho Min Lin looked at Tan Ji Nan and imagined him on his fat days and realized that even he can love him even if he weighs 400 pounds “No! I’ve started liking you the moment you ignored me after the supposed to be our first movie date. You were still fat then.”

Tan Ji Nan smiled “So you stop liking Lee Jin Ho since then?” He was satisfied by Ho Min Lin’s reply.

“Right, and let’s not talk about Lee Jin Ho anymore. He was just a matter of a past. Beside he was only my crush then but you were my puppy love” Ho Min Li chuckled again.

“And your one great love?” Tan Ji Nan said in a teasing tone.

“Uhm! My one and only love!” Ho Min Lin said and he pinched his cheeks. “I think I like your chubby cheeks more!” Said Ho Min Lin as she chuckles.

“Be careful what you wish for!” Tan Ji Nan warmed her.

Ho Min Lin burst out laughing “Okay! Please pretend that you did not hear it!” She back off.

“Tsk Tsk…!” Tan Ji Nan hissed. “You only love me at my best.”

Ho Min Lin looked at Tan Ji Nan and teased him more. “Yes. Because you are always at your best”

Tan Ji Nan tried to suppress his smile when he heard  her answer. He scolded himself, he was like a teenager who felt giddy when his crush said a lot of good things about him.

“When will you release this project.” Ho Min Lin suddenly asked.

“We’re going to go live this weekend” Tan Ji Nan was quite disappointed when she suddenly changed the topic because he wanted to hear more of her praises.

“So we can plan our trip next weekend?” Ho Min Lin said with too much excitement on her voice.

“Uhm” Tan Ji Nan said.

“Okay! Leave the planning to me.” Ho Min Lin said.

“No, let me plan for this trip. I’ll ask my secretary to make the reservation for us…” Tan Ji Nan said

“No way! I wanted to plan our first solo trip together.” Ho Min Lin insisted.

A smile formed on Tan Ji Nan’s lips “So you okay to go out on a trip with me alone?”

“Uhm…you cannot score on me anyway! Just so you try.” Ho Min Lin said. She lifted her chin up.

Tan Ji Nan laughed “Let’s see how long can you hold on to your defenses.”

“Ji Nan!”

Tan Ji Nan looked at his wristwatch and the 30 mins break was almost up.

“I have to go back to the conference room now. I cannot see you off.” Said Tan Ji Nan

“No worries. Go now” Ho Min Lin said “I’ll handle it from here.”

Tan Ji Nan nodded “Call me as soon as you get home.” He stood up.

“Okay! Go now! You only have five minutes left. Don’t be late.” Ho Min Lin said as she stood up.

Tan Ji Nan nodded and turned his back to stride off to the exit door.

He was already near the exit when he came back again.

Ho Min Lin frowned “Did you forget something?” She asked curiously.

“Yes!” Tan Ji Nan pulled her closer and gave her a one hot kiss then immediately left.

Ho Min Lin was left dumbfounded.
