âAre you feeling awkward or guilty?â Nian Junting looked at her sternly.
Luo Sang was indignant. How could he think of her that way?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI have the best grades in my faculty. Itâs reasonable for people to look to me for answers. Since when were we snuggling up against each other? You probably canât even stand me sitting close to another man.â
âOf course not. I donât sit next to other women,â Nian Junting said confidently.
Luo Sang looked at him for a moment before storming off.
âStay right there,â Nian Junting shouted from behind her.
Luo Sang ignored him. She felt that she had been spoiling him a little too much.
âXu Luosang.â Nian Junting marched forward and grabbed her wrist, holding it firmly. âYou are a really frivolous woman.â
Luo Sang chuckled with sarcasm. âHow am I being frivolous? I was merely sitting next to another boy. All the women in this world are frivolous, then. Can you be more reasonable?â
âI am speaking with reason.â
Luo Sang was speechless, but her wrist was locked tightly in his grip, and she couldnât free herself no matter how hard she tried. She decided to bite down hard on his wrist. Nian Junting retracted his hand in shock. Luo Sang stared at his wrist. There were two bright red gashes. She had bitten as hard as she could without giving it much thought. His wrist was bleeding. Her heart sank, and she regretted her actions immediately.
Nina Junting stared quietly at his wounds. He recalled how Yi Jingxi had grabbed onto her this way as well. She hadnât bitten him then, even after how he had trampled on her. How could she do this to him after all that he had done for her? A wave of anger overcame him, and his pupils were dilated with emotion.
âIâm sorry...â Luo Sang said awkwardly.
âLeave.â Nian Juntingâs voice trembled as he sputtered out the command in anger.
âCome on, let me have a look at that,â Luo Sang reached out to hold his hand.
Nian Junting flung her hand away and glared at her before turning on his feet.
Luo Sang was in shock. She couldnât believe that he could get so angry about such a small matter. Was it really necessary? He could have chosen to be the bigger man. She didnât chase after him. She thought it would be a better idea to give him some space to cool down. He was in the wrong in the first place. She was still in school, and there were so many male counterparts at her school. It would be ridiculous if no one could ask her school-related questions.
...
Nian Junting slammed his car door forcefully. He couldnât help but turn around, and then he couldnât believe that she didnât run after him. This woman was such a liar. When she reflected about that movie they watched earlier, âExes,â she said that she could never bear to let him walk away. Why hadnât she held him back earlier on, then?
It was all a lie.
...
When he drove back to Shengting, he marched into his office and picked up the brown envelope from earlier on and yelled, âLu Kang, come here.â
âMr. Nian...â Lu Kang was scared. He hadnât seen his boss get so angry in a long time.
âGo find out, find out who sent this.â Nian Junting threw the envelope at him. âLook into what Yi Jingxi and Ye Chuen are up to.â
âOh.â Lu Kang wondered if the two of them were up to no good again. âMr. Nian, your hand...â
