“Oh. Go ahead.” Su Yu nodded, thinking she came to talk about work.
After all, he managed a big entertainment company, and many actresses usually played tricks by coming to him with complaints. Su Yu was used to it.
“I… Can we talk in another place?”
Zeng Rou was gone but An was still with them. Nie Lingxuan didn’t want to express her feelings in the living room.
“Okay. Let’s go to the backyard.”
Su Yu walked to the fridge and took out two cans of Coke.
Handing one to Nie Lingxuan, he opened one for himself and took a swig from it while walking.
Nie Lingxuan took the Coke and followed him silently into the backyard.
Su Yu’s backyard was big and scenic; in the summer, Tang Chuan liked to come here to eat and drink, enjoying the place.
Opposite to the swimming pool was a set of sofa chairs, which were comfortable for playing cards and chatting at.
In the fresh breeze of the summer night, Su Yu sat on the sofa and continued with his Coke.
With his stomach full, he was in a good mood.
Inside the house, An stood at a window and looked out curiously.
“Hey…” Zeng Rou patted him from behind, startling him.
“What are you doing? You scared me, Miss Zeng.”
“Haha! You’re spying on Su Yu. Don’t you think it’s immoral?”
“I wasn’t… I’m trying to protect President Su. What if Nie Lingxuan tries to do something to him?” An said.
“Nonsense. The girl likes Su Yu; how can she do things to harm him? You are just trying to find an excuse to spy on them…” Zeng Rou chuckled.
“She indeed likes President Su. But what if she loses control of herself and tries to force her attention onto our President Su?” An was still trying to find an excuse.
“Humph… Impossible. If she did, your President Su would be happy.” Zeng Rou pursed her lips.
“Hey, I say… Miss Zeng, you are our President Su’s girlfriend, at least in name. Aren’t you worried that your boyfriend was called out alone by another woman?”
“What’s the damned use of worrying?”
An: “…”
“Besides, the girl’s fragile figure is no match for Su Yu physically. If she truly wants to lure Su Yu with her body, I’d like to watch it. Heihei. The rumors say Su Yu’s gay. If he truly doesn’t like women, why would I stay here? I’d leave immediately. If he responds to women, well, I’ll stay and see what happens.”
An: “…”
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
“Miss Zeng, you’re really… weird.” An sighed.
“Thanks for the compliment. When I was little, my teachers used to describe me with that word…” Zeng Rou wasn’t angry.
They looked out stealthily into the backyard.
It was quiet at midnight and they were not far from the two people in the backyard, so they could hear the conversation between Su Yu and Nie Lingxuan.
With the can of Coke in his hand, Su Yu glanced at Nie Lingxuan. “You want to talk to me, right? Go ahead.”
“Okay…” Nie Lingxuan bit on her lip, trying to muster her courage; she was having upheavals inside.
“Did you run out of money? You want me to loan you some money?” Su Yu asked.
“No. President Su, I have money.”
“What do you want then? A raise?”
“No.”
“You want the company to buy you a house or a car?” Su Yu continued.
“No.” Nie Lingxuan shook her head repeatedly.
“Then I can’t imagine what you want.” Su Yu glanced at her empty hands and saw she didn’t even bring a jar of soup for him. Why did the woman come to his house in the middle of the night?
