“You said your fingers hurt, but they’re not injured, so how could they be hurting?” Nian Junting let go of her hands, then stared at her with an icy-cold look and said, “Are you playing another trick? You’re changing your way of catching my attention. Aren’t you bored?”

Luosang sighed slightly and responded with, “Wounds are not the only thing that can cause physical pain. My skin isn’t broken, but my fingers hurt badly. If you don’t believe me, you can try peeling fruits endlessly for seven to eight days.”

“Why would I try that? I’m busy.” Nian Junting sat straight and picked up some files as he said, “You don’t want to peel grapes, fine. Your today’s wage will be deducted by fifty percent.”

“Whatever,” Luosang sighed again and turned, saying, “I’ll go make you some tea.”

Nian Junting nearly lost his temper. He was so angry.

Raising his head, he found that Zhao was still standing there, stunned. So he pounded the desk wrathfully and yelled at Zhao, “What are you looking at? If you don’t want to go out to continue your work, you can stay here and peel grapes.”

“I… I’ll go do the work now,” Zhao said. He left hurriedly, as he didn’t want to stay in Nian Junting’s office to peel grapes; even his lower legs were shaking.

‘Why did I feel that they were flirting with each other? That’s not true, not true,’ he thought while leaving.

…

During the next two days, Nian Junting hadn’t shown much of good att.i.tude toward Luosang. He would also give Luosang cold glares from time to time while having meals.

Luosang found that Nian Junting was awfully narrow-minded and childish, and could really hold a grudge for a long time. She didn’t want to lengthen the disharmony between Nian Junting and herself, so she served him a plate of peeled grapefruits at the evening of the third night while he was working in his study.
