Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Fine,” Nian Junting gritted his teeth, pulled out his phone and dialed Lu Kang’s number, “Now, go get me grapes and plum of 15kg each, as well as 100 kilograms worth of pomelos. Put them in my office.”

Lu Kang was shell-shocked, “Mr. Nian, what are you going to do with so many grapes and plums? Are you giving them out to the workers, I don’t recall any upcoming events?”

“Nah, just leave them in my office,” Nian Junting hung up and smirked at Luosang.

“I’m going to peel ten bowls at one go, I’m going to kiss you for half an hour straight, that’ll surely take your breath away.”

“…”

She regretted what she had said, this man wasn’t a normal person, “It’s not appropriate for a CEO to be peeling fruits in his office all day long.”

“Won’t matter, no one knows what I’m up to in the office once I shut the door anyway,” Nian Junting glanced at his watch, “Let’s go eat first…”

“Let’s eat around here, I have a meeting with the project members of the short skit later at 2pm. I know an eatery around here with decent food,” Luosang said.

“Did they get an ‘A’ from the Agri-food authority?” Nian Junting asked.

“…”

Luosang had nothing to say, she didn’t pay much attention to hygiene ratings.

“Judging from your response, they must have been certified with a ‘B’. Never mind, I shall make an exception for you and compromise on my hygiene standards. I’m thinking of opening a restaurant around here, should I ask Lu Kang to proceed with the execution? We’ll be hanging around here much more often now,” Nian Junting sighed.

Luosang was feeling anxious, she wasn’t used to the world he lived in all his life, “I don’t think that will be necessary, I’m graduating next year after all. Brother Lu must be busy too, you have all sorts of funny tasks lined up for him. That’s why he is still single.”

“True, he hasn’t managed to win Yan Su’s heart.”

“He doesn’t even have the chance to win her heart, he is always at your beck and whim,” Luosang thought.

After ten minutes, they arrived at the eatery that Luosang was referring to. They specialized in Huaiyang cuisine and business was booming. Thankfully they got there earlier than the lunch crowd and managed to get a seat in one of the booths in the back.

Luosang ordered most of the dishes.

When the waiter excused himself, Luosang’s phone rang. She looked down at the caller ID and her face dropped and she immediately declined the call.

“What’s the matter, is that the guy who was harassing you last night?” Nian Junting asked with concern.

“No, it just some tele-advertiser, I could tell by the first digits of their number,” Luosang said as she proceeded to block the number, she swiftly changed the topic, “Chuen’s birthday is in the first week of the next month, she’s going to hold a birthday party for all her close friends and relatives, are you going to be there?”

“I don’t really talk to her side of the family, Nian Xi, on the other hand, is quite close to them. She should be attending the party,” Nian Junting paused before a grin crept onto his face, “But if you want to go, I can accompany you there, just for you. I’ll have to make some arrangement though.”

“It’s up to you,” Luosang laughed.

…

When Yi Jingxi redialed her number, he was put through the service provider.

He was blocked.

When he considered the possibility that Luosang blocked his number, he clenched his phone tightly in his grasp. Soon, he broke into a smile, he thought that Luosang was merely throwing a tantrum over the loss of Xiao Si and would come crawling back to him in no time.

Zeng Zhun entered the room after receiving a call, “I’ve got news; the web drama that Producer Yuan is doing was approved at the assessment, it will be screening tomorrow.”

Yi Jingxi turned his head violently, “What did you say?”

Zeng Zhun sighed, “I asked around, Xiao Si has been using his connections. Mr. Yi, the online provider was also in a conundrum, too bad…”
