Chapter 112: Chapter 112 - Wanted to Give Him A Manicure

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Bei quickly refused. “There’s no need. The company has compensated me.”

“That’s on me.” Paddy then introduced him to Xiang Xiaoyuan. “Oh right, let me introduce you. This is a part-time employee of the company during the holidays. You can just call him Xiao Lu.”

Xiao Yuan glanced at Lu Bei before shifting her gaze away without a trace. How could it be such a coincidence? The company that she was working for was the same company that Lu Bei worked for during the summer vacation. In other words, she had taken a detour to work for Lu Wanggui?

She knew that the world was small after transmigrating, but she did not expect it to be so small. This was too…

“Hello.” Xiang Xiaoyuan pretended that they did not know each other and greeted him.

Lu Bei: “...”

The atmosphere was a little strange.

Fortunately, Paddy did not think too much about it. He just assumed that the two of them did not know each other and felt a little awkward with each other. He took the initiative to introduce her to Lu bei. “Xiao Lu, this is our new colleague in the French translation team. You can call her Sister Xiaoyuan.”

Lu Bei glanced at Xiang Xiaoyuan and then looked at Paddy. Sister Xiaoyuan? Calling his stepmother sister? What kind of scene was this!!

Lu Bei really couldn’t make himself call his stepmother sister. He couldn’t do it even if there was a knife placed on his neck. Right at this moment, Lu Bei suddenly bent down and started coughing violently. He wasn’t sure if it was because he was in a hurry when he came over, but he gave Xiang Xiaoyuan and Paddy a fright.

Xiang Xiaouyan was just about to take a step forward when she saw Lu Bei’s gaze. She instantly understood Lu Bei’s “good intentions”.

Due to Lu Bei’s sudden cough, Paddy had forgotten about asking him to greet Xiang Xiaoyuan. He quickly asked if there was anything wrong with Lu Bei. Lu Bei waved his hand and straightened his back to calm his breathing, his face that was already tanned turned slightly red.

“I’m fine. Brother Wu, you don’t have to worry.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan spoke at the right time and walked up to remind him, “Paddy, they’re still waiting for us over there.”

Only then did Paddy come to his senses. He looked at Lu Bei worriedly and reminded him, “Then we’ll go over to do our work first. If you’re not feeling well, take a leave of absence and go home. Take a taxi back. I’ll reimburse you for the fare.”

Lu Bei had a good impression of Brother Wu. The people in this company were nice and treated him well. Therefore, he nodded and replied, “Okay.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan followed Paddy to the conference room. After walking for a while, Paddy suddenly said, “Xiao Lu is actually a pretty good person.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan often heard the saying, “There is no true friendship in the workplace.”

She thought of these words and wondered if Paddy knew Lu Bei’s identity, which was why he treated him especially nice.

She pretended to be curious and said, “He seems to be quite young.”

“Yeah, he’s not even an adult yet.” Paddy sighed. “I heard that someone recommended him to be a part time worker in the summer. He probably wants to take advantage of the holiday to earn more money. It’s not easy for kids like him. His family’s probably not that well off. We should take care of him a little more.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “...”

She was rendered speechless by that sentence about his family being not that well off.

The two of them talked as they entered the meeting room. They were early, and the important people in the meeting had yet to arrive. She sat beside Paddy in the translators’ seats, and her gaze inadvertently fell on Paddy’s hands. His hands were also quite good-looking, they were not quite the same as Lu Wanggui’s.

If she had to point out the difference, Lu Wanggui’s hands were pleasing to the eye that made her want to touch them but did not dare to. Paddy’s hands, on the other hand, made her want to give him a manicure.

Xiang Xiaoyuan realized that her thoughts were a little off, and she quickly controlled her brain, which was becoming more and more eccentric.

What she did not realize was that Paddy was also secretly looking at her hands. Paddy had a thing for hands. Other men liked to look at a woman’s face, but he liked to look at their hands. When he first met Xiang Xiaoyuan, he noticed that her hands were very beautiful. This woman was exquisite from head to toe.

Paddy had never told anyone that when he first went to France, he was not studying abroad, but majoring in nail art design. He liked and appreciated beautiful hands. He liked to make other people’s hands beautiful. When he first chose this course, he had hidden it from his family. He was very talented in nail art design. Occasionally, when he was free, he would design nail art patterns that would go viral on the internet.

His first thought when he returned to China was to open a nail salon of his own. Unfortunately, he did not have enough money, so he partnered with a friend. However, his friend’s boyfriend was a jealous man.. He always felt that something was going on between him and his friend, so he ruined the shop.
