Luosang got into the car, feeling very sorry. “Mr. Lu, sorry for giving you extra work again. You’re so busy,” she said.
“Please don’t say that. My job is to do whatever Mr. Nian wants me to do. If he didn’t give me tasks, I’d lose my job,” Lu Kang responded hurriedly. “Besides, Mr. Nian is really paying me well. Last year, I got over two million as a bonus.”
“That’s a lot of money!” Luosang was a little jealous of him. Voice actors worked behind the scenes. Their careers seemed glamorous, yet their wages weren’t high.
“Yeah, not to mention the fact that as Mr. Nian’s special assistant, I can apply for all sorts of reimbursements.” Lu Kang laughed. “Many people in the company want my job.”
Luosang nodded. Of course, lots of people envied him.
“In fact, I could have earned more. But Miss Xu, my wages seriously shrank because you and Mr. Nian always fight,” Lu Kang continued in a deep voice.
Luosang was reminded of what Qiao Xue had said. She looked embarrassed.
“I was kidding.” Lu Kang burst out in laughter. After that, he said, “Miss Xu, you really don’t need to doubt what Mr. Nian feels about you. When you weren’t here, he couldn’t eat or sleep. He sent Mr. Xiao to the Northwest in a fit of pique because Mr. Xiao got drunk that day and told Miss Leng about his condition.”
“So Si was sent to the Northwest because of me.” Luosang now understood what had happened.
“Yeah. Mr. Nian was so angry. He went to Mr. Xiao’s home to question him on New Year’s Day. Also, the day before you left, didn’t Mr. Nian invite you to dinner? He was going to have dinner with you at the Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant. That morning, he noticed that you were in a bad mood, so he bought you a large diamond ring. He said that he had lost the engagement ring the day he proposed and hadn’t bought you a new one. He also wanted to tell you about Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant that day, to surprise you. He even spent tens of thousands on flowers to decorate the noodle restaurant, but you didn’t show up,” said Lu Kang regretfully.
Luosang was stunned. She thought that they were only going to have a regular dinner that day. She hadn’t expected Nian Junting to make so many arrangements in secret. Sadly, she had been absent minded because of Leng Shuangwei. She hadn’t even answered his calls.
“That day, Mr. Nian waited alone in the restaurant for a long time. He couldn’t get in touch with you, so he called many other people. He worried that you might have had an accident on your way there. When he heard that you were at home, he was relieved. He wasn’t angry, only a little disappointed. He packed a bowl of beef noodles for you when he left. The chef had been preparing the broth for the beef noodles since that morning.” Lu Kang glanced back at Luosang, then continued, “Mr. Nian is really nice to you.
“When he first started to pursue you, he talked to you about constellations. But in fact, he knew nothing about them. Before your date, he spent a whole day reading books about constellations, so you wouldn’t find out that he was lying. He even read those books in his office.
“Back when you were his caregiver, he once saw you from his car on his way to the hospital. You were eating beef noodles. That day, he was going to the hospital for a checkup, and you said that you needed to go back home to pick up a few things. That’s why he took you to a beef noodle restaurant on your first date. He thought you liked beef noodles. The day you left, he took you to the same restaurant. Before, he would never step into a place like that.
“Mr. Nian asked me to start working on Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant after your first date. He always says that you pursued him, but in fact, he took your relationship really seriously. He thought about your future after only your first date. But you rejected him that night. After that, he asked me to buy him lots of books about how to sweet talk. He read those books in his office every single day.”
