âWhy did you break up with me?â Nian Junting mumbled under his breath before yelling angrily, âWas it because I didnât spend Christmas with you? Arenât you being a little unreasonable? My friend nearly died. This isnât a small matter.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Si watched as his face turned green, and his voice became breathless. âRelax, take it easy. Weâre in the highlands here. Donât get too agitated. I wonât be able to perform CPR if you go into shock here.â
Luosang could hear Xiao Si over the phone, and she quickly added, âItâs not because of that...â
âWhat is it, then? Did you get back together with Yi Jingxi?â Nian Juntingâs angry voice rattled in the car. âOr is it Chi Shengxu? You canât take the loneliness a few days without me?â
âCan you just hear me out? Iâm doing it for Shengting.â Luosang had originally planned to joke around with him, but she didnât have the heart to anymore seeing how agitated he was. âYi Jingxi revealed my identity on Christmas day, and everyone now knows about my relationship with you, too. Shengtingâs stocks have been affected because of this, and I had to declare that I wasnât with you anymore.â
âYou shouldnât have done that,â Nian Junting said grudgingly.
âAre you even listening to me? I said that your companyâs stocks are falling,â Luosang said, frustrated.
âSo what? Itâs normal for our stocks to fluctuate. You are way more important than our stocks,â Nian Junting said grumpily.
Luosang was speechless. âNot by a little... you just lost billions of US dollars.â
âI have so much money, that is peanuts to me.â Nian Junting continued to reprimand her, âHow can you break up with me over such a small sum of money? Arenât you asking for a scolding?â
â...â
Billions of dollars are worth peanuts to him? Oh god, Luosang thought. Everyone else was panicking, whereas he was taking it so chill. Luosang was touched by what he said, however, about how she was worth much more than billions of dollars.
âAlright.â Luosang sighed. âHowâs your friend? Is he ok?â
âHeâs no longer in critical condition. Thereâs been heavy snow here the last couple of days. We were planning to take him out the moment the snow stops, but I didnât expect the company to be in trouble. Iâm driving back later,â Nian Junting said. âWere you having a hard time by yourself?â
Luosang felt herself choke up. She hadnât shed a single tear the whole time since Christmas day. No matter how lost and helpless she felt, she willed herself to stay strong. At this moment, she couldnât help but let down her strong façade. âYour company situation has been stabilized after I posted about breaking up with you. You donât need to rush back. Stay safe, since itâs snowing heavily over there,â Luosang gently reminded him.
âStop talking about breaking up with me. I hate those words. Donât worry about me, just take care of yourself and wait for my return.â Nian Junting hung up and called Lu Kang.
Lu Kang explained the entire situation in detail to him. Nian Juntingâs expression froze after listening to what he said. He hadnât expected Yi Jingxi to be so shameless.
How had she managed all this time on her own?
âYou are my personal assistant that I groomed myself. How could you allow her to be bullied like that? What did I say before I left? I told you to take care of her, didnât I? Donât let any harm come to her. Now, she canât even leave her house without being harassed.â
