138: Do You Not Feel Anything At All for Him?

Do You Not Feel Anything At All for Him?

"Hmm, I'm just checking to be sure, you can go ahead with your work." Yan Su was amused after she hung up, "Lu Kang just called me and sounded weird. I am guessing that he's calling on behalf of someone to check if you're well."1

"Yeah, right. You and your imagination," Luosang smiled.

"Don't you understand? Even with that incident at the cinema, Mr. Nian was using Lu Kang to woo me as an opportunity to come see you. It didn't strike me then, but I'm pretty sure now after the call," insisted Yan Su.

Luosang bit her lip. She thought the same.

Yan Su continued, "I have a good impression of him, that man. You've made quite a dent in his ego but he still insisted on sending you home, and now he's sending flu medications and checking up on you. He was such a gentleman at that time at the premiere too. If you end up with him, he'll surely protect you… do you not feel anything at all for him?"

Luosang was chewing on her chopsticks, and her cheeks flushed.

Well, the answer would be no. There was something, but she couldn't ascertain what kind of feeling it was. When she dated Yi Jingxi, he was gentle and romantic, and answered to her every need. Being with Nian Junting however, she was often the subject of his blunt banter. Sometimes she was amused, but other times his words stung.

She did find his straightforward ways an endearing trait. After all, Yi Jingxi ended up betraying her. Nian Junting wasn't someone who would conceal his true self in front of her, and he wasn't a hypocrite. Although he was narcissistic and abrasive with his words, he would always remain true, gentlemanly too.

"We'll see. It's not my dating season now, and I should be focused on my studies. Hurry up, I have to go to class soon," Luosang said.

I also have to focus on getting away from Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi, Luosang thought to herself.

…

At Shengting Corporation, Lu Kang looked nervously at Nian Junting who was staring at him.

He had come over and pressured him to call Yan Su in the morning. He wanted to find out how Luosang was doing, and he even had Lu Kang put the call on speaker mode. Thank goodness Yan Su was smart and didn't let up the fact that he had sold Mr. Nian out last night.

"You heard her, Mr. Nian, Luosang is feeling much better." Nian Junting was twirling his pen in his fingers, he had heard Lu Kang address Yan Su as Susu.

Good for him. His relationship is going more smoothly than mine. I haven't even addressed Luosang as Luoluo yet, Nian Junting thought to himself. Hmm, Luoluo sounds nice and intimate, not bad.

Nian Junting asked, "Oh right, where are the books I wanted?"

"They will be delivered by noon today," replied Lu Kang.

"Alright, I don't have much for you today. Don't disturb me if there's nothing urgent. I will be reading in the afternoon," Nian Junting instructed his subordinate seriously.

Lu Kang sighed, his boss was having a rough time with his love life. He was resorting to reading self-help books and guides. First about horoscopes, and now about communication.

"What about Miss Luo?" Lu Kang tried to inquire.

Nian Junting said, "I heard she's running errands for a production team by the beach. Maybe you can go investigate around that. Arrange a meeting with the main producer while you're at it too."

"What would you need the information for, Mr. Nian?" Lu Kang treaded carefully.

Nian Junting wiggled his brows, "You wouldn't understand the strategies of a dating expert," he said gleefully.

The f*ck? He has such low EQ but he still dares call himself a dating expert? Luo Kang couldn't help but lament.

…

At 9am, Luosang entered the classroom just in time for Professor Li's module.

His module was focused on television broadcasting, and there were many people attending that class. She picked an unassuming corner and when she opened her text, a man with a baseball cap sat down beside her.

"Luosang, why didn't you go to Professor Cheng's class yesterday? I was waiting for you," Chi Shengxu asked as he lifted his cap to reveal a big bright smile.
