"Of course. I'll call you when Mr. Yi leaves." Lu Kang nodded.
The reception room was next to the elevator. Luosang walked in and pulled down the blinds to block the view from the outside. After waiting for over twenty minutes, she heard footsteps coming from outside. The footsteps sounded so familiar. She used to sit in her bedroom and hear countless footsteps coming from downstairs. Every time that happened, she would happily open the door to welcome those footsteps.
But now … Her heart was tightened like a sandalwood bow. Her heart was so tight that she felt like it was suffocating.
"Mr. Yi, every time we talk about important matters, that Nian Junting always plays Tai Chi with us. He doesn't seem to want to cooperate with us at all." The low voice sounded very familiar. Luosang immediately recognized that it was Ceng Zhun, Yi Jingxi's junior, who used to follow Yi Jingxi around all the time. It seemed that Ceng Zhun had become Yi Jingxi's right-hand man.
"I know," Yi Jingxi's deep cello voice was calm and bland. "Nian Junting is a proud man. It'll be good if we can build a relationship with him, but we can't do anything about it if we can't."
"Pfft, we can find another investment company. It's not the only one in the world."
"Em," the man responded blandly. "Didn't you say that Xu Luosang came to Xia City last time? I've been looking for her for so long, but there's still no news."
"Yeah, I'm wondering if she changed her name," said Luosang.
"No matter what, we have to find her, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground."
As the elevator dinged, their voices disappeared completely. Luosang's body was as stiff as an ice sculpture.
She didn't expect Yi Jingxi to still be looking for her. Now, she had nothing left. He took away her company, ruined her studies and future. As he said, Zhong Yi was in that glamorous circle, and she was gone. What else did he want? He had a fortune of hundreds of millions and a beautiful woman in his arms. Hadn't he tortured himself enough?
She remembered that after her father's accident, Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi often showed up around her, as if they were making fun of her. Were they going to keep teasing her?
She shuddered at the thought of it.
"Miss Luosang, the guest has left. Mr. Nian wants you to see him," said Lu Kang abruptly.
"Alright," Luosang calmed herself down and hurried to the office. No matter what, staying with Nian Junting seemed to be the safest.
"You took a long time to go to the bathroom. I thought you fell into the toilet," Nian Junting teased her when he saw her.
Luo Sang didn't respond, but Xiao Si stood up and said, "I can't stand you. She just didn't want to come in and disturb us. I think she's quite well-behaved. You should be grateful that she has such a good nurse. Aye, I'm leaving. I don't want to stay with a weird person like you."
…
By the time they got back to the villa, it was already one o 'clock. Nian Junting wasn't hungry, but Luo Sang was starving. She finally sat down at the dining table and started eating happily.
Nian Junting looked at her and frowned. Ever since Murong Cheng gave the order, this woman had become more and more unscrupulous at the dining table. He wanted to pick on her, but he suddenly realized that although she ate fast, she didn't make any sound while chewing. She held her chopsticks and bowl properly, and she was very particular about how she picked food. Her behavior was no worse than that of the girls he had met before.
She seemed to have sensed his gaze on her for a long time. She raised her head and looked into his eyes, which seemed to be deep in thought.
