Chapter 33 Luck With The Ladies? (2/2)
“It’s the truth… We only met yesterday.” Zhao Lingjun mumbled. “She’s a doctor at the clinic I visited yesterday.”
“Really?” Still skeptical, Meng Xue stared at Zhao Lingjun, but her complexion had gotten brighter compared to before. “Then what about the cat you guys were talking about?”
“Oh, that cat? It’s an abandoned cat that was at the clinic.” Zhao Lingjun explained. “Yesterday when I went to get a checkup, I took pity on the cat and brought it home.”
“Oh? I didn’t know you were so compa.s.sionate.” Ming Xue’s frosty expression started to slowly thaw. “Then where are you keeping the cat now?”
“In my apartment of course.” Zhao Lingjun replied, puzzled at this line of questioning. “I can’t bring it to work, can I?”
“Haha, then what if it pees or p.o.o.ps on your bed?” Meng Xue burst out in laughter.
*Gasp* Watching her frosty expression melt into beautiful unstoppable laughter, Zhao Lingjun couldn’t help but sigh. Women truly were strange animals. Her cold and frosty expression was immediately replaced with a beautiful smile and laughter, happening in the span of a few minutes.
“In two days, it will be the weekends. Let me into your room to see that cat of yours.” Meng Xue said after laughing her fill.
“Ah… You also want to take a look at it?” Zhao Lingjun was still confused why Xiao Bai, whom he adopted attracted so much attention.
“What? I’m not welcome?”
“Of course you’re welcome, you’re more than welcome.” Zhao Lingjun immediately agreed, as she seemed to be on the cusp of flaring up again.
“That’s more like it. Then it’s settled, I’ll go to your dorm room to visit your cat this weekend. You not better run wildly with it in your arms.” Meng Xue said as she sent a thoughtful glance at Zhao Lingjun.
“Okay.” Zhao Lingjun helplessly agreed.
A real, unimaginary beauty was going to enter his own apartment.
On the way back to his office, Zhao Lingjun didn’t feel the slightest bit happy at this new development.
This was because Meng Xue was the company’s publicly known beauty that could only be seen from afar but not touched. In addition, Zhao Lingjun’s room was just beside Wu Xiaoye’s. If Wu Xiaoye misunderstood…
Thinking of this point, Zhao Lingjun broke out in cold sweat.
“What are you guys doing!?”
The preoccupied Zhao Lingjun jumped in fright as he opened the company’s door.
The normally ghost town like office, was now unexpectedly incredibly crowded with people. Those people were even looking at Zhao Lingjun like he was a martian, wide eyed and swept his body up and down.
Zhao Lingjun unconsciously looked down at his fly, but the fly on his pants was not the issue.
“That beauty just now came to look for you?” A group of people asked immediately, ignoring Zhao Lingjun’s question.
“Yup.” Zhao Lingjun replied as he continued walking. “What’s wrong?”
“You still can ask us what’s wrong?” The group chorused with looks of indignation. “In the past we believed that you were an honest person. Who would have thought that you would sit on two boats. That beautiful lady even came to the office to find you. What do you have to say for yourself?”
“We are only friends.” Zhao Lingjun replied lazily, not interested in explaining it to them. “Go back and do what you’re supposed to do. Stop wreaking havoc around me.”
“Normal friends. Only the dead will believe such a phrase.” The group stared at him with a look that screamed ‘I’m not stupid’.
“Fine, then think of it however you want.” Zhao Lingjun started typing on his keyboard, ignoring those busybodies.
“Ah, so amazing.” The group looked at each other and said. “Let’s leave.”
“Go ahead, I won’t be sending you out.” Zhao Lingjun replied without even lifting his head.
“En. Let’s go tell Wu Xiaoye about it.” Someone said as they walked out.
*Crash* Zhao Lingjun fell off his chair.
Only after spending several minutes explaining his relations.h.i.+p with Lin Qianxun and promising to treat everyone to a meal did the group including Xiao Ping and Lin Yiren finally agree to keep Wu Xiaoye in the dark.
Looking at the bunch of beasts in human clothes walk out contentedly, Zhao Lingjun wanted to cry but had no tears.
But before he could do anything, he noticed Zhang Changsheng staring into a mirror and sighing deeply.
“Why are you sighing to so much this early in the morning?” Zhao Lingjun asked the lamenting Zhang Changsheng.
“Why don’t you tell me? I’m handsomer than you by a country mile. Even my pay is higher than yours. Why are beauties like her finding you instead of me?” Zhang Changsheng stroked his beard and depressingly replied. “Why don’t I have any luck with the ladies?”
“F*ck…” Zhao Lingjun froze and fell off his chair again.
After a long pause, Zhao Lingjun finally steadied his heart, and resolved to never care about this perverted guy. He then proceeded to go online to check for clues on his bamboo scroll’s writings.
