“Why did you break up with me?” Nian Junting mumbled under his breath before yelling angrily, “Was it because I didn’t spend Christmas with you? Aren’t you being a little unreasonable? My friend nearly died. This isn’t a small matter.”
Xiao Si watched as his face turned green, and his voice became breathless. “Relax, take it easy. We’re in the highlands here. Don’t get too agitated. I won’t be able to perform CPR if you go into shock here.”
Luosang could hear Xiao Si over the phone, and she quickly added, “It’s not because of that…”
“What is it, then? Did you get back together with Yi Jingxi?” Nian Junting’s angry voice rattled in the car. “Or is it Chi Shengxu? You can’t take the loneliness a few days without me?”
“Can you just hear me out? I’m doing it for Shengting.” Luosang had originally planned to joke around with him, but she didn’t have the heart to anymore seeing how agitated he was. “Yi Jingxi revealed my identity on Christmas day, and everyone now knows about my relationship with you, too. Shengting’s stocks have been affected because of this, and I had to declare that I wasn’t with you anymore.”
“You shouldn’t have done that,” Nian Junting said grudgingly.
“Are you even listening to me? I said that your company’s stocks are falling,” Luosang said, frustrated.
“So what? It’s normal for our stocks to fluctuate. You are way more important than our stocks,” Nian Junting said grumpily.
Luosang was speechless. “Not by a little… you just lost billions of US dollars.”
“I have so much money, that is peanuts to me.” Nian Junting continued to reprimand her, “How can you break up with me over such a small sum of money? Aren’t you asking for a scolding?”
“…”
Billions of dollars are worth peanuts to him? Oh god, Luosang thought. Everyone else was panicking, whereas he was taking it so chill. Luosang was touched by what he said, however, about how she was worth much more than billions of dollars.
“Alright.” Luosang sighed. “How’s your friend? Is he ok?”
“He’s no longer in critical condition. There’s been heavy snow here the last couple of days. We were planning to take him out the moment the snow stops, but I didn’t expect the company to be in trouble. I’m driving back later,” Nian Junting said. “Were you having a hard time by yourself?”
Luosang felt herself choke up. She hadn’t shed a single tear the whole time since Christmas day. No matter how lost and helpless she felt, she willed herself to stay strong. At this moment, she couldn’t help but let down her strong façade. “Your company situation has been stabilized after I posted about breaking up with you. You don’t need to rush back. Stay safe, since it’s snowing heavily over there,” Luosang gently reminded him.
“Stop talking about breaking up with me. I hate those words. Don’t worry about me, just take care of yourself and wait for my return.” Nian Junting hung up and called Lu Kang.
Lu Kang explained the entire situation in detail to him. Nian Junting’s expression froze after listening to what he said. He hadn’t expected Yi Jingxi to be so shameless.
How had she managed all this time on her own?
“You are my personal assistant that I groomed myself. How could you allow her to be bullied like that? What did I say before I left? I told you to take care of her, didn’t I? Don’t let any harm come to her. Now, she can’t even leave her house without being harassed.”
