Xiaoyue said, "There's an auditorium that's great for taking pictures, do you want to go?"
Taking photos...
Song Nuan has little interest in taking photos.
"Let's go get something good to eat," she said.
The two went to a French restaurant, which was very crowded. They waited for almost an hour just to get their food, but Song Nuan didn't find it particularly delicious.
His skills are not as good as Li Jingchen's.
When the thought flashed through her mind, Song Nuan paused for a second, then shook her head.
"Sis, why did you call me over today? Didn't your boyfriend come to take care of you?"
"Boy friend?"
Xiaoyue nodded, "That handsome guy yesterday, he said he's your boyfriend."
That's incredibly shameless.
Song Nuan remained expressionless, forking a piece of foie gras and putting it in her mouth. "He's not my boyfriend. You don't need to listen to him anymore. Just ignore whatever he tells you to do."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue let out a long "oh".
After finishing their meal, the two strolled around the area for a while before heading back.
Li Jingchen returned at some point. As soon as she opened the door, Song Nuan saw him sitting on the sofa with his laptop on his lap. He was wearing headphones and glasses, and seemed to be working.
Song Nuan didn't give him any extra glances and went straight back to her room.
Xiaoyue glanced at the tightly closed door, then at the cold, aloof man in the living room, and walked toward the kitchen in a strange, angry mood.
She made several cups of honey lemon water.
After giving Song Nuan a cup, he took the remaining cup to the living room and placed it in front of Li Jingchen.
"I didn't know your taste, so I prepared it according to Sister Nuan's preferences."
Upon hearing this, the man glanced at her.
For only a fleeting second, she lowered her head again, looking at the clear honey lemonade, her tone distant and polite, "Thank you."
Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't say anything more and obediently sat in the seat diagonally opposite Li Jingchen. She also took out her iPad and prepared to draw some design drafts, but two hours later, the drawing board was empty.
Song Nuan was woken up by Qin Yuchuan's phone call.
He somehow found out she had gone abroad. "You left Liangcheng?"
"What's up?"
"Our agreement is still in effect. You can resign, but now you've gone abroad. Are you trying to breach the agreement?"
Song Nuan had completely forgotten about this.
She didn't seem to care much. "I remember the agreement stipulated that neither of them should have any relationship scandals."
After a few seconds, she chuckled softly, "Does my going abroad count as a relationship scandal? Instead of wasting your time arguing with me about these things, you should find someone to take over my job as soon as possible."
"Don't think I don't know Lu Ziyang went too."
Song Nuan paused for a second.
Then he laughed again, "Oh, it's his business if he comes, what does it have to do with me?"
Qin Yuchuan had no way to deal with her shameless behavior.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "My mother is in Country A, and I will also send people to keep an eye on you. If I find out that you and Lu Ziyang are having an affair, I will not agree to a divorce."
What?
They won't agree to a divorce?
Wasn't he just hoping for an early divorce so she wouldn't be able to inherit the property?
Song Nuan thought she had misheard and was about to ask again when Qin Yuchuan had already hung up the phone.
Threatened by him, Song Nuan became much more sober. Although she and Li Jingchen had ended their relationship, who knew if that man would go crazy at any time... just like yesterday.
Song Nuan was now absolutely certain.
Li Jingchen cannot stay in her villa.
As Song Nuan opened the door and walked into the living room, she saw a harmonious and warm scene—
A plate of sliced fruit sat on the table. Li Jingchen was working on his computer, while Xiaoyue was watching cartoons, but her eyes kept glancing at Li Jingchen.
The girl's attraction to the man was written all over her face; it wasn't hard to tell.
For a moment, Song Nuan's mind went blank, and it felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest, causing her heart to drop downwards, leaving her with an indescribable discomfort.
"Lu Ziyang." Her voice was somewhat cold.
Xiaoyue immediately sat up straight.
The man looked up at her upon hearing her voice, glanced at her, and then said calmly to the screen, "That's all for now. You don't need to report the rest. Lin Xuan, put together the report and give it to me."
"OK."
After cutting off the video call, Li Jingchen stood up. His tone remained cool and aloof, but it was easy to detect a significant softening in his voice. "What's wrong?"
What's wrong?
A sudden surge of anger welled up inside her. Since Xiaoyue was still there, Song Nuan restrained herself from showing her displeasure. She said to Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, you can go back now. You don't need to come today."
Xiaoyue inexplicably felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange. She wanted to say something, but wisely swallowed her words.
Then I packed my things and left.
As soon as she left, Song Nuan's face turned cold. "You should leave too. Don't stay here."
The man raised an eyebrow. "I don't think I stayed here either?"
He stayed at a hotel last night.
Rebuffed, Song Nuan's face darkened further, and her tone was no better: "So where are you now? Picking up girls in my house, did you pay the utility bills?"
Li Jingchen had no idea what she was annoyed about.
"Chasing girls?" he asked casually, his voice tinged with a hint of confusion.
Song Nuan naturally wouldn't lower herself to explain to him, lest he think she was jealous.
"Go away."
"I'll leave if you want me to, but you need to explain yourself clearly."
He casually sat back on the sofa, reached out and picked up the honey lemon water on the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "What do you mean I'm picking up girls in your house?"
"It's your problem if you don't understand."
"I just kissed you last night, and you even bit my lip until it bled. I came over this morning to make you breakfast, but when I came back at noon I didn't see you. I was in a meeting the whole time. From the time you came home until you questioned me about picking up girls, I didn't have any conversation with you."
He methodically laid out the timeline, "Excuse me, where did the accusation that I was picking up girls come from?"
Song Nuan got angry at his words.
She snapped, "Don't you know how Xiaoyue feels about you?"
"Know."
Song Nuanqi laughed, "Then tell me where the charges come from? Xiaoyue is someone I hired, and you're doing the opposite, pairing her up as a couple."
Upon hearing this, Li Jingchen smiled faintly, but his tone remained indifferent, revealing no emotion. "Does her liking me mean I like her too? My taste isn't that bad."
Song Nuan was speechless.
I have so much anger inside, but I don't know where to vent it.
Li Jingchen added, "Given my looks, it's normal for her to like me. Besides, I told her yesterday that she didn't need to come anymore, that I would take care of you. If I'm not mistaken, it was you who called her back."
"Now that she's interested in me... how come it's my fault?"
Song Nuan said coldly, "Are you implying it's my fault?"
He didn't answer, but the expression on his face clearly said, 'Isn't that right?'
Finally, he looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Are you jealous?"
funny!
Song Nuan almost instinctively retorted, "Why would I be jealous? Li Jingchen, Xiaoyue is young and hasn't graduated yet. You should stay away from her."
Having witnessed Ouyang Chengyi's obsession with An Sze, Song Nuan now avoids people from their circle like the plague.
Who knows if there's ever a 'Ouyang Chengyi' who likes Li Jingchen?
