It was 4pm when Luosang received a call from Murong Cheng while studying. “Sangsang, when are you free? Let’s go shopping soon. You can bring along Nian Xi.”

Luosang was flattered that the CEO of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation had personally given her a call. “Auntie, this...”

“From Junting’s tone yesterday, I can tell that he’s certain about you. Given this, I think we should foster a closer relationship, shouldn’t we?” Murong Cheng said cheerily. “How about tomorrow? I heard that you are taking a break. I’m not too busy at the moment, either. Let me know what you would like to buy. Having thought about it, I do feel sorry for you. You lost your family at a young age. Let me provide you with the warmth of a family.”

“...”

These words seemed familiar, somehow.

“That does it, then. See you tomorrow.” Murong Cheng hung up. Luosang slowly regained her senses. She was beginning to understand where Nian Junting had inherited his dramatism from.

In the evening, Luosang heard that Nian Junting had to work overtime and was unable to return home for dinner. She decided to bring food to his office for him. When she arrived, it was already dark. She spotted Nian Junting still engaged in a meeting with several other executives. She did not interrupt them. She sat outside and fiddled with her smartphone.

After a while, she went to the bathroom. As she did, she heard a voice from outside. “Was that Mr. Nian’s new girlfriend?”

“Yes, looks like she brought him dinner, too.”

Luosang was suddenly alert. She became conscious of her own breathing. Usually, people bad-mouthed her while gossiping, especially since her reputation had taken a hit recently.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“She looks very pretty. I heard she’s the reason why Shengting has been embroiled in a storm recently.”

“Indeed, men will always like pretty girls. To think that I believed that Mr. Nian was together with Mr. Xiao previously...”

“You’re not alone. I heard about that, too, and was bothered for a while. Eventually, I heard that he had found a girlfriend again. It’s really too much of Mr. Nian. How can he be interested in both men and women?”

“No wonder Mr. Xiao must have been too heartbroken to come to work, even with such a critical incident befalling the company.”

“The stock prices have been dropping. I heard that Mr. Nian only showed up yesterday because he had followed Mr. Xiao overseas, but it must have been too hard to bear leaving his girlfriend here, and so he returned.”

“Ah...”

The voices slowly tapered off.

Luosang emerged from the bathroom, speechless. She shuddered. What kind of misunderstanding must have occurred for the employees to believe that Nian Junting and Xiao Si were in love? Their imaginations had indeed run wild. They should have known that if Nian Junting were to hear of these rumors, he would surely blow his top.

As she returned, Nian Junting had just finished up his meeting with the executives. After seeing Luosang, he smiled and said, “I won’t be joining you for dinner. My girlfriend has brought food for me. Her culinary skills are impressive. She must have been afraid that I’d be hungry, especially since I’ve lost weight recently. That’s why she decided to cook for me personally.”

Luosang was speechless. He was boasting again.

“Mr. Nian, what a lucky man you are. You have us all in envy,” one of the executives chuckled.

“That’s alright. Although your wives can’t match my girlfriend’s looks, virtue is what matters when choosing a wife. There aren’t many who are both pretty and virtuous like she is.” Nian Junting laughed.

“...Mr. Nian, we’ll come back later, then.”

Luosang had the feeling that the group of executives were holding themselves back from beating him up.

“Mr. Nian, sorry, but I didn’t cook your dinner.”
