Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“That… I don’t know,” Lu Kang stuttered.

Nian Junting rubbed his chin and said, “Maybe she found out the price of my jacket, so she broke it in order to sell herself to me to pay for it?”

Lu Kang didn’t know what to say.

“That woman is getting more and more interesting. Give me her number,” Nian Junting chuckled and said.

Lu Kang gave him Luosang’s number while trying to stop himself from rolling his eyes. Nian Junting swiveled in his chair and called Luosang. Soon, the call was answered. Hearing Luosang’s voice from the phone, Nian Junting’s ear itched a little, as he couldn’t have thought her voice to sound so attractive through the phone.

“Who is it?” she asked.

“Nian Junting.” After giving her his name, he asked, “I heard from Lu Kang that you broke my jacket? How could you? Do you know how much money that jacket cost me? A hundred and fifty thousand. Even if you wanted to sell yourself to me to pay for it, I don’t think you’d be worth the price.”

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I was careless,” Luosang apologized. “Can I pay you back bit by bit?”

“Have you forgotten that I need to brown jacket for tomorrow?” Nian Junting snorted and continued, “How about this; you go shopping with me tonight. You need to buy me a new jacket.”

Luosang felt that her heart even stopped beating when she heard him. “I only have about ten-thousand yuan!” she said with a low voice.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make it lower than ten-thousand.” Nian Junting showed a large smile and said, “Then you can pay me the rest bit by bit.”

Luosang bit her little finger. She thought that Nian Junting wouldn’t make her pay the rest, but she was wrong. She felt that she was foolish. If she knew this, she would have taken Yi Jingxi’s money.

“It’s a deal then. I’ll see you at six PM,” said Nian Junting.

“I’m at the seaside, so I may not be able to make it back at six,” she said.

“So you’re working at the seaside. What are you doing there? Are you a waitress in some seafood restaurant?” he asked.

“No, there’s a new movie filming here. I’m doing odds and ends for the crew,” Luosang didn’t want Nian Junting to know too much about her life, or what happened between her, Yi Jingxi, and Zhong Yi. If he found out that she was Xu Zhengxuan’s daughter, he might despise her like the others.

Nian Junting frowned. ‘How could my girl friend sink to this kind of a lowly job? It’s awful,’ he thought.

“I’ll come to the seaside to pick you up after work. I’ll call you,” he said.

“No… you don’t need to…” said Luosang.

“It’s a deal. Bye,” he said.

Nian Junting sat silently for half a minute after ending the call with Luosang, then he called Xiao Si and said, “You need you to drive my Bugatti Veyron back to the company in two hours.”

“Why do you suddenly want to drive a sports car?” Xiao Si was surprised. “Did you say that business sedans are enough for you?”

“Em, the sports car is for my girlfriend,” said Nian Junting proudly, “And you have to stop borrowing cars from me. I need them myself.”

“What? When did you get a girlfriend…”

Before Xiao Si finished, Nian Junting hung up the phone.

Lu Kang who stood aside looked at his boss’s proud face, couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Nian, I don’t think Miss. Luo has agreed to be your girlfriend, has she?”

“Sooner or later.” Nian Junting comfortably leaned against the back of his armchair, then glanced at Lu Kang and responded with, “Go book all the tables in the best beef noodle restaurant of Xia City.”

Lu Kang felt like vomiting blood. Are you sure you want to take the girl to a beef noodle restaurant with your sixty-million yuan limited edition sports car? He really wanted to ask his boss this question.

…

By the seaside, in the filming crew, Luosang was gazing at her phone.

Nian Junting was coming to the seaside to pick her up.

Did she mishear?

No, she didn’t think so.

This is bad, I can’t let him come to the filming site.
