Chapter 497 - Most Importantly, I Am No Longer Single (2/2)

“On behalf of all employees, thank you, Mr. Nian.” Lu Kang hurriedly nodded. Yes, yes, we know, we should all celebrate together, as this year is the year you finally have a girlfriend, he thought.

“Another thing. Make an hour for me this afternoon. I’m going to buy a ring,” said Nian Junting.

Lu Kang almost cried. “Mr. Nian, you’ve taken a rather long vacation. It’s already amazing that you don’t have to work overtime now. How can I possibly free up an hour in your schedule?”

“You think I want this? I lost the ring last time, and last night, Sangsang got jealous. I have to buy a new ring to make her happy. But Xia City is a small city. Normal jewelry stores in this city don’t have 19-karat diamond rings in stock.” Nian Junting sighed.

Lu Kang wanted to die. Watching Mr. Nian maintaining his relations.h.i.+p made him feel hopelessly poor.

…

In the afternoon, Luosang finished lunch and rested for a while. After that, Nian Xi drove over to pick her up. Nian Xi apologized once she saw Luosang. “Sangsang, I’m really sorry about last night. I honestly didn’t know that Ji Chuan invited Shuangwei.”

“It’s okay.” Luosang smiled, recalling what Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng had said. Nian Xi is close with me now, but after she and Ji Chuan get married, the Feng family will probably try to keep her away from me, she thought. Even if she refuses, she might still fall into a difficult situation.

“Sangsang, what’s wrong? You’re being weird. Have you been… having thoughts since you met Shuangwei?” Nian Xi asked hesitantly. “My brother is a freak, but he won’t do things that he shouldn’t be doing. He’s a very responsible person.”

“I know. I was just surprised to see Leng Shuangwei yesterday.” Luosang smiled.

“Me, too.” Nian Xi sighed. “I complained to Ji Chuan yesterday. I was really quite mad. I don’t know why, but yesterday, I felt a gap between him and me for the very first time. Actually, I don’t know him as well as I thought I did.”

“Don’t let me affect your relations.h.i.+p.” Luosang felt a little guilty. “It’s understandable. After all, Ji Chuan and I aren’t familiar with each other.”
