Chapter 210 - 210: Untitled
“That woman we met earlier has a good face and figure. She can’t wait to be your date. All you have to do is ask.”
Chu Yichen stopped drinking his soup and looked up at her. “You’re jealous.”
Li An’an almost choked and hurriedly denied, “No, I’m just giving you a suggestion. Bess is not bad either. You can choose any of the two women.”
Chu Yichen said in a quiet voice, “I’m only responding to Liang Qian because she’s looking to move to another company. Bess is my capable subordinate, that’s all. As for you, not only do I like your cooking, but I also want to do other things with you.”
Li An’an felt that she couldn’t continue the conversation. He was speaking without a bottom line. “I think you should consider my feelings. After all, I don’t know you very well. I’ve only been a servant here for a period of time.
“Won’t you know me after trying things out?!”
Li An’an was enraged to the point that she was sure she was getting internal injuries. Chu Yichen had made up his mind to keep her here, and on the other hand she couldn’t leave this city.
Halfway through the meal, Chu Yichen picked up a business call. Li An’an went to the washroom to give Auntie Li a call. She was relieved when Auntie Li informed her that the children had been very well-behaved.
She touched up her makeup and left the washroom.
She was stunned when she saw Lu Ming walking towards her.
“An’an, what brought you here? Did you come with Chu Yichen?” Lu Ming must have been drinking. He sounded anxious and frustrated. He stood in Li An’an’s way, refusing to move.
Li An’an dodged left and right, but wasn’t able to get past him. She got angry. In the past, Lu Ming was a very gentle person who respected her greatly, and would never do things like block her path.
“CEO Lu, please excuse me. If you refuse to make way and your fiancée sees this, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.” On the way to the washroom earlier on, she had spotted Lu Ming and Li Xinyi eating. If Lu Ming were to be away for too long, Li Xinyi would come looking for him for sure.
Ever since she was young, she had been worried about Lu Ming. She would always secretly check on his whereabouts. Only, Lu Ming was not aware of this.
“An’an, I know it’s you. Why don’t you acknowledge me? Is it because of what I had said?” Lu Ming regretted saying that they were just friends.
“I do not remember whatever you’ve said, please step aside.”
Lu Ming refused. “An’an, if you continue to be with Chu Yichen, there won’t be a good ending. The Chu family won’t acknowledge you, they will only ruin you.” “I can promise you a good life. I’ll take you home now. Your family misses you.” Li An’an knew that he was referring to the Li family, but that place was hell.
She would never go back there ever again. She suddenly kicked Lu Ming’s calf.
Lu Ming lost his balance and tried to right himself by holding on to the wall. Li An’an took the opportunity to walk past. She did not look back.
Lu Ming looked at her back view and leaned against the wall, clutching his head. He was sure of her identity as Li An’an, but why was she so cold to him and so close to Chu Yichen? Was it because he was not as good as the other man?
Li An’an lowered her head and brushed past Li Xinyi, turning her head to the side so that Li Xinyi could not see her face. Li Xinyi, on the other hand, did not notice her as she was calling out to Lu Ming.
Li An’an successfully returned to the private room.
“You’ve been gone so long! Were you out there seducing other men?!” In the private room, Chu Yichen was standing with his suit jacket draped over his arm. His expression was a little scary, looking as though he was out to catch her in the act.
“That’s right, you should have been there. Now your chance is gone,” Li An’an teased.
Chu Yichen grabbed Li An’an’s hand and said fiercely, “Don’t worry, you will never have the chance. Mark my words..”
