It was still early. Luosang wasnât home yet. He decided to sit on the edge of the planter downstairs to wait for her. At five oâclock, Yan Su and Luosang appeared hand in hand. Nian Junting stood up immediately. His tall and lean physique was always a sight to behold. Even with bags of prawns and fish in his hands, he still looked as handsome as ever. Luosang caught sight of him from far away. She quickly turned her face away and pretended she didnât see him as she pulled Yan Su along towards their gate.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nian Junting walked over to them with brisk steps and blocked her path. He said in a low voice, âAre you upset about having to peel prawns for me? I bought many prawns. Iâll peel as many as you want tonight. Donât be angry with me anymore. Iâm not going to be angry about what happened with Chi Shengxu earlier. I know you were using him to make me jealous.â It was rare for him to be so docile and relenting. Luosangâs heart nearly melted. She wanted to leap into his embrace. Why was he so silly? How could he think that she was angry with him because of the prawns?
He had bought so many prawns and fish, too. He had probably never been to the wet market in his life. She bit her lip and willed herself to stay strong. âItâs not because of the prawns. Didnât I make myself clear enough in the afternoon? I donât like you.â Luosang looked up. âI wonât come back, even if you peel prawns for me for the rest of your life. I like Chi Shengxu now. He will peel prawns for me if I want.â
Nian Junting blinked in disbelief. It was the first time he couldnât bear to look into her beautiful eyes. Her gaze was cold, and his heart ached every time he looked. âIâm telling you, Iâll peel prawns for you for the rest of our lives. I wonât ever make you peel them for me again, ok?â His gaze was stubborn. âIâll pick out fish bones for you, too, peel fruit and everything. I wonât let you spoil me anymore. Iâll spoil you instead starting from tonight, if you donât believe me.â His soft tone was almost begging for her affection in return. He was trying so hard to win her back, even Yan Su felt bad for him. It wasnât easy for someone so high up like him to say those things.
âI donât want it. Youâre not the right person for me. No matter how good you are, I donât want it.â Luosang shook her head and dragged Yan Su along.
Nian Junting was stunned before he chased after them. When Luosang pressed the elevator buttons, she turned to see that he was still behind them. She nearly burst into tears. âWhat are you doing still following us? Havenât I made myself clear enough?â
âI want to peel prawns for you,â Nian Junting said. âYouâre doing this on purpose to make me angry.â
âAre we not speaking the same language? I donât want you to peel prawns for me.â Luosang raised her voice. âI admit that you are good at earning money, but I canât stand your awfully low EQ. Iâve never met anyone as eccentric and strange as you. You are narcissistic, arrogant, bossy, and domineering, and you always expect me to hanker after you and cater to your needs. Youâre like a master, and I am your servant. Youâre so much older than me, too. Iâm sick of you and your family. If not for my dad, I would never have been together with you. Why are you so useless? You canât even save my dad. I donât wish to waste any more time on you. Iâm breaking up with you, whatâs so difficult to understand? Weâre not married. I havenât taken any of your rings or clothes. Stop bothering me now.â
â...â
Nian Junting stared hard at her. It was the worst blow he had ever received. He was stunned, and his breathing was hard. She could tell he was very agitated.
âStop bothering me. Ah Xun will be bothered if he finds out about this.â Luosang walked into the elevator and pressed the close button. When the doors closed, Luosang could no longer hold back her tears.
