Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At Lu Jiu’s birthday party...
Lu Jiu had many friends. When Ming Shu arrived, the private room was almost filled up already. Lu Jiu brought Ming Shu to the opposite room.
This room was filled with people from the office. Lu Jiu was a thoughtful person.
“Weird, didn’t Boss say that he went to fetch you?” Lu Jiu settled Ming Shu down in a corner and got her some drinks before asking her with curiosity. “Have a seat first. I’ll call the boss. Maybe you two missed each other.”
Ming Shu smiled gently and didn’t reply.
When she arrived, she saw Hua Jian. However, she just came up herself because she wanted to anger him.
This might be a kind of illness.
But I don’t want to cure it.
“Little Tao Xi, have some snacks.” The person beside her stuffed a plate of snacks into Ming Shu’s hands. Ming Shu gave him a bright smile.
The other party’s face suddenly turned red and he ran to sit on the other side as though he were on fire.
This girl’s smile can seduce people.
Since someone had already started it, more people gave her snacks too and soon, there was a pile of snacks in front of Ming Shu.
“Shameless.” Mengjie and the rest of the people sat to the side and glared at Ming Shu with hatred and jealousy.
Not only did she seduce the captain, she is flirting with other people too. Are demons all so shameless?
“Sister Mengjie, don’t be angry. She is just a little demon. How can she be compared to you? Don’t lower your status by getting angry at her.” The person beside her consoled her.
Mengjie gained confidence from the flattery and sneered. “Are you all ready?”
“Don’t worry, Sister Mengjie.” The person beside her gave her an OK sign.
“I wonder how Jian Ying got into the field operations department...”
When Mengjie heard this, her face turned dark again. She had tried all kinds of methods to transfer to the field operations department, but she failed. Who knew how Jian Ying managed to transfer there secretly?
“Sister Mengjie.”
Jian Ying wore a sexy skirt with shoulder straps and walked in from across the room. The people beside her looked at each other and made some space for her.
“What?” Mengjie was angry. “You’re a field operations person now. Why are you sitting with us?”
Jian Ying looked wronged and sat beside Mengjie. “Sister Mengjie, I don’t know how I got into the field operations department. I just received the notice suddenly... the field operations department is very dangerous. I like the office better.”
Sister Mengjie’s expression got better when she heard what Jian Ying said. “Is that true?”
“Yes, I wouldn’t dare lie to you.”
Jian Ying managed to free herself from the responsibility with just a few words and even created an innocent and forced image for herself.
Ming Shu sat near the back. The light couldn’t reach her and she ate her snacks blatantly while looking at Jian Ying and Mengjie.
Hua Jian and Lu Jiu entered together. The moment he came in, he saw someone flirting with Ming Shu.
He felt even more stifled. He pressed the switch at the side of the door and the dim lights turned bright. Everyone got a shock from the bright light and the whole room became quiet. They all turned to look at Hua Jian, who turned on the lights.
Hua Jian: “...”
What am I doing?!
Since it had already happened, Hua Jian could only maintain his character profile and asked indifferently, “Is everyone here?”
Lu Jiu was stunned too. When he heard Hua Jian’s question, he nodded his head quickly. “Yes, most of the people are here. Zhiling is still at school and will come later.”
Hua Jian acknowledged him and walked toward Ming Shu. The person sitting beside Ming Shu saw Hua Jian coming over and quickly gave up his seat.
Lu Jiu: “...” Did you turn on the lights just to ask this?
Lu Jiu saw that Hua Jian had no intention of talking and turned off the light. “Please continue, everyone. Don’t be polite. Everything is on me today. Just order whatever you want.”
The room was still a bit quiet. The atmosphere only livened up when Hua Jian sat down.
Hua Jian grabbed Ming Shu’s waist from the back. Under the dim lighting, everyone could only see them sitting close together and couldn’t see what Hua Jian was doing.
“Did you do it on purpose?”
“Yes.” Ming Shu smiled as she replied, “Why? Are you angry?”
Angry?
I waited downstairs for so long, I almost exploded!
Calm down!
Keep calm! I can win this!
Hua Jian pulled her closer to him and said in a low voice, “You like to play, but don’t go overboard. I’m worried for your safety.”
Ming Shu smiled. There will be things that will make you angrier later.
I don’t believe that I can’t anger you!
Maybe it was because Hua Jian never drank, no one actually came over to offer a toast to him. Of course, no one dared to talk to Ming Shu, either.
Lu Jiu ran between the two rooms. The atmosphere was harmonious.
An Zhiling arrived one hour later. She might be not used to this environment so she inched toward Ming Shu and sat beside her. Since she was sitting so close, she saw Hua Jian’s actions.
She was stunned. Luckily, she didn’t scream and shout and only covered her mouth in surprise.
“Tao Xi.” An Zhiling grabbed Ming Shu.
Ming Shu pushed Hua Jian’s hand away and leaned over. “Yes?”
An Zhiling grabbed her again and asked, “You and the captain... what is your relationship with him?”
“No relationship.”
“No...” What do you mean by no relationship? You two were hugging each other! An Zhiling stammered, “You... that...”
Ming Shu smiled. “He has cheap hands”
Hua Jian: “...” Do you think that I can’t hear you?!
Who are you scolding!
You are the one that has cheap hands. Your whole family has cheap hands!
“Zhiling, come, have a drink.”
Someone called An Zhiling. The latter shook her head frantically. “I... I still have classes tomorrow. I can’t drink.”
“Don’t worry. It’s just a soft drink.”
An Zhiling knew that she didn’t have any reason to reject the person now and went over to that side.
Hua Jian pulled Ming Shu back and closed in on her. “Who did you say has cheap hands?”
“You. If not, is it me? Did I touch you?” I am talking about you. If you don’t agree, be angry and let me gain some Hatred Points.
Hua Jian suddenly jeered. “I think you lack a beating.”
Ming Shu tilted her head. A dim light flashed past her eyes like a spirit in the night sky. “What did you say?”
Hua Jian: “...” What did I say just now?
Did I say something?
No!
I didn’t say anything!
“I didn’t speak.” Hua Jian denied it. Bullshit, could his character say such a thing?
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Did I hear wrong?”
“Yes.” Hua Jian nodded his head seriously.
Ming Shu: “...” Not bad, you little demon!
“Captain.” Mengjie came over with an embarrassed expression. She looked at Hua Jian. “I have something to say to you.”
At the same time, the lights in the room dimmed even more. A heart made of roses appeared on the screen and light music played in the background.
Everyone quieted down and looked at the main person.
Mengjie took a deep breath and raised her head slightly. Hua Jian was hidden in the darkness and she could only see the outline of his face. “Captain, I like you.”
