C56 (1/2)

The first thing that popped into my mind was the word ”help”, but it was the opposite of what Luoyang had thought at the beginning. He wouldn't let me die, at least I still had something worth using.

The old man stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, not showing any signs of anger at all. Instead, he said bitterly, ”Little girl, it's better to quickly find the kind of person you've interacted with recently. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you after some time.”

His gaze was like a sharp thorn, piercing straight into my chest. I kept having the feeling that he got what he wanted from my eyes, but in the next moment, I wasn't as certain as before.

Ji Nan was an impatient person, and his face had already started to show signs of impatience. Seeing how much he cared about me, I was slightly moved.

Thus, I hastily interjected, ”Thank you. I will definitely go back and look for her. After all, I still want my life.”

The old man didn't say anything after being interrupted by me. He turned around and left the resting room.

In the entire space, only Ji Nan and I were left. He looked at me with slight guilt, as if he was the one who didn't save me.

”You don't need to think too much into it. This is my own affair to begin with. Nothing will happen to me.”

Actually, I had already made up my mind long ago. Right now, the thing that I need Ji Nan's help the most is to request a leave of absence for me.

Humans are greedy. Although I feel that my life is more important, I don't want to just throw away such a good job. Ji Nan is my best helper.

When Ji Nan heard this, he immediately interrupted me, ”No, I've already agreed to help you, but I haven't been able to help you at all. I've already broken my promise!”

I pretended that I didn't mind as I lowered my head and said dejectedly, ”It's just that the old man told me to go find someone. How am I supposed to find someone at work right now?”

”Let me help you!” Ji Nan said without saying a word. His eyes actually carried an inexplicable light which made my conscience feel a little bit painful.

But the thought of job stability and high salary, turned into a real touching.

”Really? But isn't this a bit too much? ”

Ji Nan quickly waved his hand with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, ”If you think this is too much, then you'd better give me a good beating. Wait for you to come back and eat with me! Every time I ask you out, you say you don't have time. ”

When I heard this, I knew that he still hadn't calmed down, so I could only bite the bullet and agree.

Even though I was already very careful, when I left Ji Nan's office, I was still surrounded by many people. They were all looking at me with gazes of envy and jealousy.

I had already thought of this a long time ago, because I was already seen going in, let alone coming out.

For an employee to stay in the office of a rich second generation for such a long time, even I wouldn't necessarily believe that there was nothing between the two of them.

Not to mention others.

Since that's the case, I might as well let these people see it for me. After all, when I'm not here for a few days tomorrow, they will find out for themselves.

I started to get anxious when I was about to get off work. Due to the love curse in my body, I try my best not to go out and meet a man. However, if I want to go home, even if I have to look for a taxi, it's very likely that I'm a man.

While I was vexed over this, Ji Nan suddenly appeared in front of me in a high-profile manner. The suit he was wearing was actually a completely different one, completely different from what I had seen in the morning.
