Chapter 3569 - Catfight 9

“Oh. It’s okay. I know he doesn’t care for me.” Zeng Rou smiled self-mockingly.

“No. Miss Zeng, President Su feels… torn. As a friend, he’s supposed to come and see you, but… he’s afraid to give you wrong ideas and get your hopes up. He doesn’t want to hurt you.”

An was an honest man, but it was awkward to speak the obvious.

Finally, Zeng Rou got angry.

“You tell Su Yu, even if he wants to marry me, I won’t marry him. Don’t think he’s the only good man in the whole world. Narcissism is an illness; he needs to seek treatment for it.”

“Okay, I’ll tell him that when I get back,” An said honestly.

Zeng Rou was even more furious.

“Miss Zeng, do you want to eat some fruits? Shall I wash one for you?”

“No. Just put them down.” Zeng Rou waved her hand, feeling impatient with An.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll go and buy it for you.”

“No, you didn’t buy lotus leaf rice noodles for me.” Seeing An only came with a flower basket and a fruit basket, Zeng Rou was piqued.

“Oh, I forgot about it. I’ll go and buy it now.”

An patted his forehead in guilt and turned to go.

But Zeng Rou stopped him. “Forget it. When you come back, I’ll have no appetite for it.”

“Miss Zeng, I’m truly sorry. It’s my fault…”

“Forget it. Anyway, I’m not Lu Yan and you won’t remember these details.”

As she spoke, she watched An’s reaction and saw his shyness.

He thought his feelings for Lu Yan was a secret, but it seemed all the people in the world knew it.

“Don’t be shy. It’s not a crime to like someone,” Zeng Rou comforted him.

An nodded and didn’t know what to say.

“An, are you in touch with Lu Yan after she left?”

“No.”

“You don’t know the number she uses abroad?”

“No.”

“I thought you were familiar with her. Why don’t you have the number?” Zeng Rou seemed interested in Lu Yan, although her superior had warned her many times not to investigate Lu Yan; if Lu Yan found out about them, the consequences would be severe.

But Zeng Rou thought Huo Mian wasn’t as close to Professor Lu as Lu Yan. After all, Lu Yan had grown up with her father.

In contrast, Huo Mian had grown up in an ordinary family; despite her identity, she knew nothing about those secrets.

“Nothing will come out of me and Lu Yan. She’s…” An paused and then continued, “She’s way out of my league and has countless amounts of money. I’m only a lowly bodyguard.”

“So what? Bodyguards are a great and honorable job. I think true love is everything you need,” Zeng Rou soothed him, trying to get An to talk more about Lu Yan.

“Forget it. Your point is not right. Just look at President Su… He’s loved Dr. Huo for years and would die for her, but he still can’t be with her. Many factors can decide if you can end up with your loved one. But none of them works in my favor.”

“Don’t lose heart. Boy, when Lu Yan comes back next time, tell me, and I’ll speak for you.” Zeng Rou gave An a comforting look.

“Next time… Hehe. I don’t know how long that will be…” An didn’t know when Lu Yan would return; even if she returned, she might not appear in public. At this thought, An felt a wave of despair.

– In Thailand in East Asia –

As Zeng Rou and An talked about Lu Yan, Lu Yan felt her ears turn red for no reason.

“Who’s badmouthing me behind my back? Damn it…” Lu Yan leaped out of her bed feeling cranky.

“Boss, we got some information.”

“Come in,” Lu Yan yelled and grabbed a bathrobe to wrap it around her.
