Lu Kang was stunned. He looked up to see Qiao Xue’s pink and pretty face.
“You…”
“I thought I made it clear that there are no relationships allowed in the office,” a cold voice suddenly said.
Qiao Xue and Lu Kang turned to meet Nian Junting’s cold and hard gaze. They both shuddered in fear. “Mr.… Nian…”
Nian Junting took away Lu Kang’s present and opened it. It was a small and cute mug. The two of them were getting involved with each other right under his nose. It was disrespectful of them. Didn’t they know that he had just broken up?
“Mr. Nian, when have you ever said that we weren’t allowed to date in the office?” Qiao Xue stuttered as she mustered up all her courage. She remembered Mr. Nian encouraging all of them to look for their one true love just a while back, and that was the reason she decided to woo Assistant Lu.
“Just…” he said mercilessly.
“…”
“Seems like you’ve got a problem with that.” Nian Junting raised his brows. “Over here, my words are like the Holy Bible. What does this cup mean, anyway? You’d rather have broken jade than a preserved pot?”
“…”
Qiao Xue was stunned. She blushed and looked over at Lu Kang and said after a long while, “No… it means, you’re my cup of tea.”
Lu Kang cleared his throat awkwardly. What an idiot. Couldn’t she tell that their boss had fallen out of love recently? The whole company was on their toes around him. How could she confess to him in front of their boss?
“Cup of tea?” Nian Junting chuckled as he looked at the mug. He used to say all sorts of sweet things to Luosang, too. They promised each other “forever.” Now, she had left him with those empty promises.
He squeezed the cup tightly in his hands and suddenly broke into a laugh. “Lu Kang, how can you change your mind so hastily? Weren’t you chasing after Yan Su just a while ago?”
“Who is Yan Su?” Qiao Xue looked at Lu Kang in a daze.
Lu Kang was helpless. “Boss, when did I ever do that?”
“Didn’t you?” Nian Junting raised his brows. “To chance upon her, you dragged me to the movie theater when you heard that she was going there to catch a movie. You asked me to put you guys next to each other. When it rained last year, you went over with flu tablets. You have quite a frivolous heart.”
“You already fancy someone else.” Qiao Xue looked traumatized. Her face was pale. “Assistant Lu, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have tried to woo you. Oh, I’m such a fool. Sorry for bothering you.” She took the mug from Nian Junting and ran away quickly.
“Hey, Qiao Xue…” Lu Kang was about to break down. “Why did you do me dirty, boss? You did all that when you chased after Miss Xu.”
Nian Junting looked on as Qiao Xue ran away. “You really had a change of heart?”
“…”
“How could you change so easily?” Nian Junting found it difficult to comprehend. “I thought you liked Yan Su a lot. How could you fall in love with someone else over such a short period of time? Qiao Xue? The stupid woman who nearly crushed me?”
Lu Kang was helpless. He never loved Yan Su so deeply like Nian Junting said he did. His boss had completely misunderstood him. He was the one who was madly in love with Miss Xu. “Mr. Nian, I did fancy Yan Su, but she didn’t like me back, and she has a boyfriend. She’s now a successful artiste, and she’s going to be a superstar in the spotlight with her Billboard track. I’m just an assistant, and I have to get married someday, too.” Lu Kang grimaced.
