Chapter 33 (2/2)
With an endless stream of customers, Lin Luoran lives a fulfilled day. She gets off work and walks out of the store with Liu Mei and others. A familiar red sports car is parked right in front of the door. The car window is rolled down and Mu Tiannan’s contorted smiling face appears.
“Miss Lin, do I have the honor to have dinner with you?”
It is quite common to see handsome men and pretty women come to jewelry stores. Many of the sales girls still remember the guy who came and bought the star hairpin. However, he doesn’t bring his girlfriend this time and invites Lin Luoran, the “fox lady”, to dinner. The salesgirls all realize—Lin Luoran has enchanted a young and handsome man of wealth, no wonder she despises those paunchy guys!
Liu Mei gives Lin Luoran an ambiguous and kind smile and gently pushes her forward.
Being in the situation which every young girl yearns for, Lin Luoran is not happy at all.
Lin Luoran knows that Mu Tiannan will come to her sooner or later, though she doesn’t expect that he can locate her workplace so fast. Looking at his complacent face, Lin Luoran has no doubt that Mu Tiannan will come here every day before she returns the ginseng seed.
Lin Luoran is not like Mu Tiannan who has plenty of leisure time. She has to work, cultivate, adopt a boy and support her parent… She doesn’t have time to waste on him.
How much on earth are those ginseng seeds worth? An idea comes to Lin Luoran’s head. Will it be possible that she can make a deal with Mu Tiannan and return him a ginseng?
In fact, Mu Tiannan is not so anxious about having the ginseng seeds back after he got that piece of jade. He doesn’t understand why he refuses to let Lin Luoran go—Perhaps it’s because that the way this woman lies through her teeth is so hateful. Right, it must be. Mu Tiannan convinces himself.
Mu Tiannan is pleased by Lin Luoran’s silence. He naturally regards her silence as guilt and becomes even happier.
Lin Luoran is thinking that it is inappropriate to stay in a stalemate with Mu Tiannan right in front of the company when the door opens and Baojia walks out talking and laughing with Liu Zheng. They look at the people standing outside and can’t figure out what is going on.
Liu Zheng recognizes Mu Tiannan from last night. Obscure emotions emerge in his eyes. Baojia takes a tumble and laughs, “Is it him?”
Mu Tiannan sees Baojia and Liu Zheng walking out and greets them like an acquaintance, “Master Liu, nice to see you again! Wow, this must be your fiancé, Miss Qin! You two make such a perfect couple!”
Mu Tiannan has got this information with lots of effort. After finding out the relations.h.i.+p between Baojia and Lin Luoran, words came out that Baojia was engaged with Liu Zheng. However, Liu Zheng said that Lin Luoran was his girlfriend last night. Mu Tiannan is excited to be a looker-on— You stupid Four Eyes! You can have the two girls in your dream!
Hearing that the new designer is the fiancé of the general manager, hearts of the surrounding salesgirls are broken. Lin Luoran, who is the target of Mu Tiannan, however, feels nothing.
G.o.d knows for how long they have secretly been in love with their boss. It turns out that he already has a fiancé… “This woman is quite plain!” One of the girls thinks to herself jealously.
Lin Luoran finally understands. Liu Zheng is Baojia’s fiancé, and this is why he was in Commander Qin’s house on the other day.
Thinking about what Liu Zheng said last night to save her from Mu Tiannan, Lin Luoran looks at Baojia and somehow feels guilty.
Does this make her a…?
“Miss Lin, it’s not right to steal your friend’s boyfriend. You can take me into consideration… My family is not as rich as his, but I am single!”
The crowd is staring at the four of them without blinking. First, their boss is reported to have a fiancé, then “fox lady” Lin Luoran steps between them, and Lin Luoran and Designer Qin are friends? Wow, how confusing these relations.h.i.+ps are!
—Still, this is so dramatic!
