Chapter 119 Unfortunately, I’m waiting for you
An Ning seemed a little embarrassed. She didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong. Moreover, Shen Nuo had always been very good to her, but now she was leaving...
"So that's what it is. You scared me by being so serious."
Shen Nuo blinked, and she curled her lips into a smile and said, "It's great that you can figure it out. I think you can definitely do better than An Shuyue and An Ye."
Seeing her reaction, An Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She pursed her lips and asked, "Will my resignation now affect my work?"
"What kind of job can I have? If it weren't for my brother's pressure, I wouldn't want to go to this crappy class for a single day." Shen Nuo snorted.
The projects she was working on were all coming to an end, so she just sat here and slacked off every day. Occasionally, when Shen Huai was not around, she would sneak out early.
In order to put her mind at ease, Shen Nuo said, “I can just hire another assistant.”
An Ning's expression relaxed, and she nodded and said, "That's just right. I can still take care of her for a few more days."
Since they had nothing to do, the two chatted for a while, and An Ning casually asked her who the gifts were for.
Mentioning this Shen Nuo couldn't help but worry: "My brother said that Mr. Fu invited me to the Fu family for dinner tonight, and I can't go empty-handed."
An Ning was thinking about something else. She hesitated and asked, "So you and Mr. Fu...are you really going to get engaged?"
Shen Nuo quickly denied it: "No, I have nothing to do with him. It's all nonsense on the Internet."
“…”
An Ning was silent. She thought of that night and couldn't help but wonder: Is there really no connection at all?
Although Shen Nuo tried her best to deny it, An Ning thought that she was too shy to admit it, so she nodded in agreement with her.
Before leaving get off work, Shen Nuo contacted Zhou Qian to ask him to help her recruit an assistant, and by the way, try to poach Shen Huai's people again.
Zhou Qi'an sighed quietly, "Miss, please don't bother with me. If I really come to be your assistant, I won't be able to enter the company tomorrow."
Shen Nuo's eyes lit up: "There really is such a good thing."
Zhou Qi'an: "..."
It was a good thing for Miss Shen, but it was a disaster for them!
After Shen Nuo finished teasing Zhou Qi'an, she went downstairs and drove to Fu's house. She parked the car on the side of the road, but did not rush in. Instead, she looked down at the time.
Can she go in at mealtime and then find an excuse to leave after dinner?
As she was thinking, a horn sounded behind her. She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the familiar car behind her.
“…”
Does she have some unlucky constitution? She originally wanted to avoid Fu Chuji and hadn't gone in, but ended up running into him head-on.
Shen Nuo planned to play dead in the car, but unfortunately Fu Chuji had already gotten out of the car, walked to the car window, looked at her, and curled the corners of his lips at her.
"...What are you laughing at? Do you think you're pretty?"
She muttered softly, lowered the car window, and gave him a fake smile: "What a coincidence."
He said calmly, "Unfortunately, I was waiting for you."
“…”
Her face flushed slightly, and she glared at him angrily: "Do you have to be so direct? Don't you know it's easy to be misunderstood?"
"What's the misunderstanding?"
Fu Chuji raised his eyes and looked at her: "Do you think that as long as you pretend not to know each other, you can pretend that nothing happened?"
“…I didn’t say that.”
A white snowflake floated onto his black hair, and only then did Shen Nuo notice that it was snowing.
The snow was not heavy, but the cold wind outside made people's faces hurt. She saw that the tip of his nose was slightly red, and his delicate face like jade looked a little pale.
"Ahem." She deliberately coughed twice: "Sorry, I might have a cold recently. Please don't get too close to me. Be careful not to get infected. I suggest you go back to the car."
"How can I reply if you don't open the door?" he said coldly.
"...I'll let you go back to your car."
Fu Chuji had a blank expression on his face: "Forget it, I'd better stay here and get some cool air to clear my mind for a while."
Shen Nuo was irritated by him. What did this mean? Was he threatening her with a self-torture trick?
"Whatever you want."
She left this unpleasant remark and started the car and drove towards the manor.
When she arrived, Mr. Fu was looking through something. Seeing her coming, he smiled and called her over: "Nuo girl, you came at the right time. Do you want to look at Xiaoji's childhood photos together?"
Shen Nuo wanted to refuse, but he was a little moved, and the words of refusal turned into: "Okay."
She walked up to Mr. Fu and the first thing she saw was a photo in the album of Fu Chuji wearing a school uniform. At that time, he looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old, not much different from his current appearance, but he looked much more childish. Some of his long hair covered his forehead, and his cold eyebrows revealed a hint of impatience. She didn't know who took the photo of him.
There is another photo taken at the same time below, but his expression is even more grim, and judging by the background, it looks like he is standing outside the classroom as punishment.
"This kid has always had such a bad temper. It hasn't changed in all these years. It's as if others owe him money." Old Master Fu shook his head.
Shen Nuo: “…”
She didn't seem to agree with this. As far as she could remember, except for the time when she asked for a breakup, he gave her a cold shoulder, but other times he almost always granted her requests.
Turning the pages further, there are photos of him in college. He looked much more stable then. Although he still had a cold face, he no longer showed all his emotions on his face like before.
There is also a photo of his college graduation. He is the only one in the photo, and behind him there is a family taking graduation photos for their child. They look very happy. He looks calm in the photo, but his eyes seem to reveal a hint of coldness.
Shen Nuo subconsciously reached out and touched the photo, and she suddenly remembered his life experience.
She didn't know much, only that he was taken back to the Fu family after he turned 16. It was said that Mr. Fu was good to him, so he handed the Fu Group to him. But if that was the case, how could he wait until he was 16 to take him back?
As for his biological mother, Shen Nuo had only met her once before, during that misunderstanding, but judging from his reaction at that time, he and his mother did not have a close relationship.
Mr. Fu was still chattering to her about the origins of these photos, but until he finished flipping through them, he didn't see any older photos of him. Moreover, the album looked very new, without many signs of having been flipped through, and it seemed as if it was deliberately placed there for her to see.
Shen Nuo frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“Although Xiaoji has a bad temper, his abilities are beyond reproach. I feel very relieved to hand over the Fu Group to him. What do you think?” Old Master Fu said with a smile while observing Shen Nuo’s reaction.
She said calmly, "The Fu Group has indeed been developing very well in the past two years."
