Sister Lan said with surprise, “This is finally happening! I thought you two had a chance, but Sangsang wouldn’t believe me.”
“What do you mean?” Nian Junting asked. “You knew about her real age long ago, didn’t you?”
Sister Lan flinched and responded with, “Sangsang told me to not tell you. She said that people think older carers are more experienced. Her life wasn’t easy, so I kept her secret.”
“You’ve worked here for years, yet you lied to me with her. I might have to deduct half of your monthly wage,” said Nian Junting frowningly.
Sister Lan’s chubby face turned sour, as half of her monthly wage wasn’t a small amount of money to lose.
“Unless you make up it to me.” Nian Junting sat straight and slightly raised his eyebrows. “From now on, you should contact Luosang more often. Tell her that you miss her, and invite her here. Remember, be natural, don’t act like I’m telling you to do so.”
Sister Lan nodded carefully.
“Now, tell me, how should I reply to her message?” He pointed at his phone and said, “Type for me.”
Sister Lan picked up the phone. She spent a while thinking hard, then slowly put in a line—’Before, I was trying to say that you were like a happy little piglet in my eyes’, followed by a series of heart emojis.
Nian Junting took the phone and glanced at the line. His face blushed. He glanced at Sister Lan meaningfully, then said, “Sister Lan, I didn’t know that you could be a little girl on the inside.”
Sister Lan’s chubby face blushed.
Nian Junting sent the message to Luosang.
One minute passed, and she didn’t reply. Five minutes passed, and she still didn’t reply.
He called Sister Lan with discontent and asked her, “Why didn’t she reply? Is the message not good enough?”
Sister Lan wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. She was a cook, but she also needed to help her young master to deal with his relationship with his girlfriend.
“Young Master, I think Sangsang is feeling shy. If I was her, I’d feel shy when suddenly receiving your sweet words.”
“Is she?” Nian Junting nodded seriously after hearing Sister Lan. Luosang would have rosy cheeks when she felt shy. He wanted very much to go and see her with his own eyes, but sadly, he couldn’t disturb her, as she had class.
…
In the computer room, Luosang sat down. Her phone rang again as soon as she sat down. Seeing ‘Mr. Nian’ flash on the screen of her phone, her heart missed a beat.
As more and more classmates turned to her, she answered the phone and said, “Mr. Nian, my class is beginning.”
“Don’t try to fool me. I saw your schedule yesterday in your dorm. Your class doesn’t start for five minutes.”
The corners of Luosang’s mouth twitched slightly. No wonder he was staring at her schedule back in her dorm yesterday. As a capitalist, he was farsighted indeed.
“Why didn’t you reply to my message on WeChat?” After checking his phone over and over again, Nian Junting couldn’t help but call Luosang again on his way to the company.
Thinking about that message, Luosang blushed scarlet. Earlier, during breakfast, she read that message, and even dropped her phone on the table out of surprise.
“Was that message… sent by you?”
“Em, any problem?”
“I thought your phone was hacked… That didn’t sound like something you would say, Mr. Nian.” The series of heart emojis shocked her so much that she couldn’t even bear to reply the message.
Things were natural when she was with Yi Jingxi, but with Nian Junting, she often felt a little strange. But of course, it was mostly because she hadn’t yet completely accepted the fact that she now had a boyfriend, who was narcissistic, proud, and sometimes evil.
