âGet up and get dressed, weâre going to Chi Shengxuâs premiere. You look awful now,â Tang Ning tried to drag Luosang off the bed.
âItâs Chi Shengxuâs premiere, not mine,â Luosang was so exhausted that she didnât even want to move a finger.
âSu, talk to her,â Tang Ning waved at Yan Su.
Urging by her two roommates, Luosang finally changed into a long velvet dress and a white embroidery hoody. The hoody was off-the-shoulder, made her look a little sexy.
The three of them took the subway to the Century Mall. On their way, when they were squeezed in one chair to rest, Luosang glanced at Yan Su and found that the latter was looking at her WeChat on her phone.
âDid Mr. Lu message you?â asked Luosang.
âYeah, he wants to know what Iâm doing,â said Yan Su helplessly, âI told him that Iâm on my way to the premiere.
âDidnât you reject him?â Said Luosang.
âHe didnât even tell me that he likes me, what should I reject him for? I just found a way to let him know that I have a boyfriend. I thought heâd shrink back, but he started to ask me some questions about music. He said that he likes music, and he wants to be friends with me so we can talk about music. Forget it, I wonât reply to him. I donât want an ambiguous relationship with him.â
âHe wants to steal you from your boyfriend,â Luosang laughed and said.
Sheng Ting Investment, five oâclock in the afternoon, at sunset.
Nian Junting finished the last part of his job, then stretched his body. Lately, the company didnât have any large projects for him to work on, and the small cases were all handled by his employees. Therefore, he suddenly felt a little boring.
However, the weather had been nice recently, so he really didnât want to go back home alone to face Sister Lanâs chubby face and Steward Wuâs wrinkled face.
He thought for a moment, then called Xiao Si.
âYou havenât left work, have you? Do you want to go for a drink?â He asked.
âSorry, Iâve left work long ago. I have a date with a pretty lady today. Weâre going for dinner and karaoke later,â Xiao Si chuckled and responded with, âTingting, you need to stop bothering me. Iâm an adult man, and Iâm not as desireless as you. I need some nourishment for my life.â
âWhoâs been bothering you?â Said Jian Junting with a grumpy look, âItâs just that I feel more comfortable to go out with you than with Zhou Yanfeng and the others. It seems that those people are getting along well with me but in fact, they just want to fawn on me, and that made me uncomfortable.â
âThatâs true, but understandable. Youâre rich and famous, so everyone wants to get something from you. But sticking with me isnât a solution for you. People might think that weâre a gay couple. If youâre really bored, why donât you call Nian Xi? You really donât care about your little sister enough. If I have an adorable sister like her, Iâd treat her like a princess.â
âPiss off, Iâd never want to be a gay couple with you,â Nian Junting directly hung up the phone.
He dropped his eyes and spent a short while thinking, then dialed Nian Xiâs number.
âAre you off duty? Do you wanna have dinner together?â
âBrother, Iâm working overtime, doing official business. Now is the crucial time for my potential promotion, donât get in my way,â said Nian Xi seriously.
Nian Junting didnât even know how to respond. Didnât his sister know that fawning on him was a better way to promotion?
âBrother, I know you have lots of free time, but not everyone is like you. You should hurry up and get me a sister-in-law. Youâre not young anymore...â
Again, Nian Junting hung up the phone. He paced in the office for a while with anger, then gripped his coat and walked out in large steps. When walking pass Lu Kangâs table, he saw that the latter was staring at his phone, seeming to lose in thoughts.
âAre you chasing that girl named Yan Su?â Nian Junting paused and asked. Seeing the disappointed look in Lu Kangâs face, he continued, âFailed?â
Startling by his voice, Lu Kang hurriedly stood up and responded with, âI was going to ask her to have dinner with me tonight, but she said that sheâs going for Dark Screenâs premiere with her roommates.â
