As the door was closed, Lu Kang couldnât help but say to Mo Liuxi, âMr. Mo, your brother-in-law finally let me get off work early to make some efforts to please the girl I like. Do you have to get between us?â
âYou came to please the girl so late...â Mo Liuxi glanced at him blandly and said, âWere you gonna stay at her place for the night?â
Lu Kangâs face reddened. âNonsense. I got off work at six, went back home to make the cake, and then came here. I normally work until eight or nine.â
âI canât tell for sure what you are really thinking about. After all, I donât know you well.â Mo Liuxi turned, then entered the password to unlock his door.
Looking at his back, Lu Kang clenched his teeth and asked, âYou donât fancy her, do you?â
Mo Liuxi paused for a second, then replied with, âI donât like women. I like men.â
After saying that, he turned and stared at Lu Kang straight in the eyes.
Under his gaze, Lu Kang had goosebumps. âEh... I gotta go.â
As he finished talking, he hurriedly walked into the elevator, then sighed with relief.
As he left, Mo Liuxi relaxed his tightened face.
How could he possibly be fond of Yan Su? He only liked her congee.
The next morning, he went to Yan Suâs place for the congee. After finishing a small half bowl of congee, he said, âEarlier, I said that youâre not vigilant enough. It turns out that Iâm right. How could you let Lu Kang into your apartment so late at night? You know how he feels about you.â
Yan Su knitted her delicate brows and said, âMr. Lu is fine. Heâs a decent man.â
âI donât think so. The more a man is experienced, the smarter heâll become. He may just hold and kiss you once you accept his milk. Be careful. You better not open the door next time, unless Iâm here with you.â As he finished talking, Mo Liuxi lowered his head to eat the croissant.
Yan Su was a little confused by his words. âAre you a decent man? Donât forget what happened in the elevator...â
Her cheeks turned red, and she couldnât manage to finish her statement. Of course, what happened in the elevator wasnât the whole story.
She enjoyed that night, and he was so wild.
âI was inexperienced back then.â Mo Liuxi said carelessly.
So, are you experienced now? Yan Su said in her head.
Thinking about what they had both experienced that night, she fell into silence, focusing on the congee.
Mo Liuxi frowned. They both had secrets.
...
Shengting.
At about 9:10 a.m., Lu Kang listlessly brought some files into the small conference room. Nian Junting came in with large steps, sat down, and crossed his legs. He glanced at Lu Kang a few times, then said, âWhatâs wrong? Didnât I let you leave early to pursue the girl yesterday?â
Lu Kang was speechless. Could 6:00 p.m. be called early at all?
âMr. Nian,â he said. âCan I ask, do you have a younger brother that you donât know about yet?â
âWho?â
Nian Junting wore a serious face. âDo you think my father had illegitimate children with other women?â
That would be a serious misunderstanding. Lu Kang hurriedly explained. âNo. I went to Yan Suâs place yesterday, and Mo Liuxi was there. He refused to leave but kept talking to me about you.â
Nian Junting raised his brows. âWhat did he say? Is he worried that I might mistreat Luosang? Thatâll never happen.â
âI feel that heâs fond of Yan Su too,â Lu Kang said frowning. He was a little worried. Mo Liuxi was young, handsome and was Nian Juntingâs brother-in-law. He could never win against that boy.
âStop talking nonsense.â Nian Junting leaned against the back of the chair and said blandly, âYan Su might be frightened if she heard what you just said. How unlucky she would be to get that boy?â
