Luosang looked at the tall and sturdy man who walked before her, wearing only a shirt. As she prepared to give his jacket back to him, Nian Junting abruptly stopped, slightly turned his body to give her a sideways glance, then said, âDo you think I care about those three words? Do I look like such a narrow-minded person?â
Luosang didnât know how to respond.
Out of shame, Lu Kang as Nian Juntingâs assistant really wanted to cover his own face at that moment.
Boss, you truly are a narrow-minded person. How could you say that so confidently?
âLuosang, are you okay?â Through the shadow of night, Yan Su quickly walked over. She was wearing a simply-designed pair of ripped jeans and a baseball jacket with raindrops sparkling on her black and shiny ponytail. A few moist and tousled locks of hair were sticking on her delicate face, making her look beautiful and captivating.
Lu Kangâs heart skipped a beat. He quietly walked to Nian Junting and ventured to say in a low voice, âMr. Nian, Miss. Luo didnât only make herself prettier. Her friend is pretty too.â
Nian Junting expressionlessly glanced at his assistant.
âIâm alright,â said Luosang. She felt that her heart was warmed. Ever since Zhong Yi betrayed her, she didnât dare to believe any friend. But now she was somehow touched when seeing Yan Su coming at her, wearing soaked clothes. âWhy didnât you bring an umbrella?â She asked.
âI didnât bring my umbrella when I left the dorm today. Earlier, I left my work in a hurry, so I didnât have the time to borrow one.â while speaking, Yan Su was looking the two young men beside Luosang from head to toe. She felt that the two neatly dressed men donât look like bad guys.
As his boss didnât seem to want to talk, Lu Kang stepped up and explained smilingly, âHello, weâre Ms. Luoâs friends. We happened to meet her in a club.â
Yan Su turned to Luosang. As Luosang nodded, she finally stopped worrying.
âMr. Nian, thank you for helping me today. Itâs late, we should head back,â said Luosang. She took off the jacket and handed it to Nian Junting.
Nian Junting stared at her exposed shoulders for a while, then responded with, âPut it on. Where do you live? Iâll drive you.â
Luosang paused and knitted her brows. The encounter between her and Nian Junting tonight was an accident. She didnât want Nian Junting to be a part of her current life. After all, they lived in two different worlds.
âThis place is far away from downtown. Itâs not safe for two pretty girls like you to take an Uber at night. Besides, it seems like the rain is going to fall again soon. You donât have an umbrella. Itâs better for us to just drive you to where you live. Weâre all friends after all.â Lu Kang smiled friendly and said, âPlease wait here, Iâll go get the car.â
After he finished talking, he quickly walked toward the parking lot without waiting for Luosang to respond.
Right at that moment, a few tiny drops of rain fell from the sky.
Nian Justing bent over slightly to rub Xiaosiâs soft fur with one hand with the other hand resting in his pocket. He didnât say anything. Luosang and Yan Su glanced at each other, both remaining silent.
In the weird silence, Nian Junting knitted his brows tighter and tighter.
Didnât Luosang talk a lot about Xiaosi with Lu Kang just now? Iâm the one she likes, but why isnât she saying anything now?
Howâs she gonna chase me then?
About five minutes later, Lu Kang showed up driving a black Maybach. The unique design of the car made Yan Su show a surprised look in her eyes. She didnât know much about cars, but she understood that this car would be one of the newest luxury vehicles on the market, as she hadnât seen any car like it before.
âIs this a new car?â asked Luosang smilingly.
âEm,â Nian Junting responded.
Lu Kang got out of the car to open the backseat door. Nian Junting bent over to get into the car with Xiao Si.
Luosang glanced at the empty front seat. Yan Su was there, so she had no reason to take the front seat and leave Yan Su to sit in the back seat with Nian Junting. Therefore, she had no choice but to take the backseat as well.
