Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Get up and get dressed, we’re going to Chi Shengxu’s premiere. You look awful now,” Tang Ning tried to drag Luosang off the bed.

“It’s Chi Shengxu’s premiere, not mine,” Luosang was so exhausted that she didn’t even want to move a finger.

“Su, talk to her,” Tang Ning waved at Yan Su.

Urging by her two roommates, Luosang finally changed into a long velvet dress and a white embroidery hoody. The hoody was off-the-shoulder, made her look a little sexy.

The three of them took the subway to the Century Mall. On their way, when they were squeezed in one chair to rest, Luosang glanced at Yan Su and found that the latter was looking at her WeChat on her phone.

“Did Mr. Lu message you?” asked Luosang.

“Yeah, he wants to know what I’m doing,” said Yan Su helplessly, “I told him that I’m on my way to the premiere.

“Didn’t you reject him?” Said Luosang.

“He didn’t even tell me that he likes me, what should I reject him for? I just found a way to let him know that I have a boyfriend. I thought he’d shrink back, but he started to ask me some questions about music. He said that he likes music, and he wants to be friends with me so we can talk about music. Forget it, I won’t reply to him. I don’t want an ambiguous relationship with him.”

“He wants to steal you from your boyfriend,” Luosang laughed and said.

Sheng Ting Investment, five o’clock in the afternoon, at sunset.

Nian Junting finished the last part of his job, then stretched his body. Lately, the company didn’t have any large projects for him to work on, and the small cases were all handled by his employees. Therefore, he suddenly felt a little boring.

However, the weather had been nice recently, so he really didn’t want to go back home alone to face Sister Lan’s chubby face and Steward Wu’s wrinkled face.

He thought for a moment, then called Xiao Si.

“You haven’t left work, have you? Do you want to go for a drink?” He asked.

“Sorry, I’ve left work long ago. I have a date with a pretty lady today. We’re going for dinner and karaoke later,” Xiao Si chuckled and responded with, “Tingting, you need to stop bothering me. I’m an adult man, and I’m not as desireless as you. I need some nourishment for my life.”

“Who’s been bothering you?” Said Jian Junting with a grumpy look, “It’s just that I feel more comfortable to go out with you than with Zhou Yanfeng and the others. It seems that those people are getting along well with me but in fact, they just want to fawn on me, and that made me uncomfortable.”

“That’s true, but understandable. You’re rich and famous, so everyone wants to get something from you. But sticking with me isn’t a solution for you. People might think that we’re a gay couple. If you’re really bored, why don’t you call Nian Xi? You really don’t care about your little sister enough. If I have an adorable sister like her, I’d treat her like a princess.”

“Piss off, I’d never want to be a gay couple with you,” Nian Junting directly hung up the phone.

He dropped his eyes and spent a short while thinking, then dialed Nian Xi’s number.

“Are you off duty? Do you wanna have dinner together?”

“Brother, I’m working overtime, doing official business. Now is the crucial time for my potential promotion, don’t get in my way,” said Nian Xi seriously.

Nian Junting didn’t even know how to respond. Didn’t his sister know that fawning on him was a better way to promotion?

“Brother, I know you have lots of free time, but not everyone is like you. You should hurry up and get me a sister-in-law. You’re not young anymore…”

Again, Nian Junting hung up the phone. He paced in the office for a while with anger, then gripped his coat and walked out in large steps. When walking pass Lu Kang’s table, he saw that the latter was staring at his phone, seeming to lose in thoughts.

“Are you chasing that girl named Yan Su?” Nian Junting paused and asked. Seeing the disappointed look in Lu Kang’s face, he continued, “Failed?”

Startling by his voice, Lu Kang hurriedly stood up and responded with, “I was going to ask her to have dinner with me tonight, but she said that she’s going for Dark Screen’s premiere with her roommates.”
