D*mn, he cursed silently. Nian Junting woke him up in the middle of the night, then ended the call after such a quick talk. He had awful friends, but none of them was as awful as Nian Junting.
...
Back in the hotel, Nian Junting got off of the bed after ending the call, then dressed and left the suite.
Luo Sang was in a light sleep and was awakened by the sound of the door opening. She got up and walked to the living room, then found that Nian Junting had left. Where had he gone so late at night? Had he left her alone in the hotel only because she didnât satisfy his sexual desire?
Lying on the couch, Luo Sang somehow started having a grievance in her heart and couldnât help but begin imagining things. No wonder people said that a man would stop cherishing a woman once she gave him her virginity. Was he a man like that? With all these thoughts, she fell asleep.
She woke up the next day to find that she wasnât lying on the couch but on the bed. Yesterday, she had spent half the day shopping, so at night, she had slept so soundly that she didnât remember being carried into the bedroom.
She walked out and saw Nian Junting sleeping on the couch. Because he was so tall, his legs were hanging in the air, and most of his blanket had fallen to the ground. The look in Luo Sangâs eyes softened when she saw him. She was angry because he had gone out last night, but was delighted because he had carried her to bed. She quietly walked over, picked up the blanket, and gently covered him with it.
Once she had done that, Nian Junting was awake. He sat up and gazed at her with drowsy eyes while saying, âYou do love me.â
Luo Sang didnât understand. When had she said that she didnât love him?
Nian Junting pulled her into his arms and then said in a soft voice, âLuo Sang, you love me. Chi Shengxu isnât even as good as a hair of mine in your heart, right?â
Luo Sang raised her head to look at him, waiting to see what trick he was going to play this time. She could never guess what he was thinking, anyway.
âLuo, Iâve thought about it. Yesterday, I was wrong,â said Nian Junting. âChi Shengxu helped you. Since he asked you to buy him a pair of shoes as a gift, itâs really quite inappropriate for you to say no. Also, itâs reasonable for you to buy him a pair of shoes to thank him for saving you from the trouble.â
Luo Sang was visibily shocked. Nian Junting had always been unreasonable and extremely stubborn, but how had he suddenly thought it through overnight? It was unbelievable!
âIâm glad you think of it that way.â Luo Sang nodded with a weird look.
âBut...â Nian Junting continued, âIâm not comfortable with you giving him Uggs as gifts. I talked a lot to you about Uggs yesterday, and that really means something to me. I think... itâs more appropriate for you to give him a pair of sneakers.â
While speaking, he stood up and picked up a box that was placed beside the couch. He continued, âLast night, I went to a 24-hour shopping mall and bought a pair of sneakers. These are the newest arrivals, limited edition. They are incredibly comfortable and fashionable. I think this pair of shoes will make a better gift to him. After all, Chi Shengxu is a star, and his family is wealthy. You can find Uggs everywhere, but this kind of limited edition sneaker is hard to get. I believe every boy in his early 20âs likes this kind of sneaker.â He also believed that with this pair of sneakers, Chi Shengxu would leave Luo Sang even faster.
Luo Sang was agape.
âWhy arenât you saying anything?â Nian Junting frowned.
âItâs nothing.â Luo Sang shook her head. âI just feel that youâre like a salesman in a shoe store.â After Yan Su, who was like a condom saleswoman, Luo Sang now had a shoe salesman around her.
Nian Junting was a little speechless.
Luo Sang took the box and opened it. The pair of shoes was indeed very stylish, looking very suitable for Chi Shengxu. She just couldnât understand why Nian Junting was suddenly being so nice about Chi Shengxu.
