A trace of humiliation flashed across Lin Su’s face. He pursed his lips and repeated his words.
Su Ran’s dream was to have a place in the entertainment industry, so her records had to remain clean. For Su Ran’s sake, Lin Su would rather put himself in a difficult position and accede to Luo Ying, agreeing to her conditions.
Luo Ying stood where she was. She felt such intense secondhand embarrassment on his behalf that her toes curled up. “Lin Su, are you selling yourself for Su Ran?”
Lin Su didn’t like the word “sell” that she used. “Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted? As long as you sign this confidentiality agreement, I can promise to meet you once a week.”
“Thank you, but there’s no need.”
“What do you mean by that?” Lin Su was very angry. He had already lowered his status to this extent. What was Luo Ying not satisfied with?
He stood up, forced Luo Ying to the corner, and gave her a warning. “It’s better not to be too greedy.”
Luo Ying was so angry that she cackled. “Mr. Lin, didn’t you learn the famous words of Socrates when you were in school? Know thyself.”
She poked Lin Su’s chest with her finger and pushed him away. “Who gave you the confidence to rate yourself so highly? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Lin Su was as confused as he was furious. “Are you sure you’re not joking?”
Luo Ying raised her eyebrows. “Why? Do you really think that you are the treasure of the universe and that everyone is fighting over you?”
When she saw Lin Su standing there in a daze with a look of disbelief, Luo Ying was too lazy to argue with him. “Whatever, I will not sign any confidentiality agreement.”
She dusted her hands. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in either you or Su Ran. I won’t dirty my hands for you.”
She would look for an opportunity to trample on these people, but she would not use such a method.
Luo Ying said it so casually, as if what happened between him and Su Ran was really not worth mentioning in her heart.
Lin Su did not know why, but he suddenly panicked and subconsciously grabbed Luo Ying’s hand. “You’re not allowed to leave.”
Luo Ying thought he was going to pester her again, so she gave him a backhanded slap. The sound of the slap reverberated throughout the entire office. Lin Su had never thought that Luo Ying would hit him. He instantly let go of Luo Ying’s hand and froze in place.
“I’ve said it before. There’s no clause in the contract that says I’ll accept your touchy-feelers.” Luo Ying turned her red wrist. “Besides, I’m already married. What are you trying to pull? What if my husband finds out? What if he misunderstands?”
Luo Ying threw the almost-finished milk tea into the trash can. Under the secretary’s horrified gaze, she pressed the elevator button. Lin Su’s roar and the sound of things smashing came from behind her, but she didn’t even turn her head.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Luo Ying immediately opened her palm and saw that it was red. She blew on it with heartache and thought to herself, “It felt good just now, but his face is probably made of rock. Too many fillers?”
However, as red as her hand was, Lin Su’s face should have fared worse. After all, she had used all her strength in the slap just now.
Thinking of something, Luo Ying immediately took out her phone, took a photo of her reddened palm, and sent it to Lu Zhao with the caption: “Hubby, it hurts. Hurry up and blow on it for me.”
As soon as the message was sent, the phone rang again. The caller ID showed that it was Luo Hao, the father of the original Luo Ying. They were not on good terms.
It seemed that today was indeed an eventful day. Things came one after another. Luo Ying sighed with a tired heart and then picked up the phone.
“I heard from your Aunt Hong that you jumped off a building a few days ago just to force Lu Zhao to divorce you? “Hao Luo’s furious voice came out from the phone.
“Nope.” Luo Ying denied.
“If not, then why did the Lu family cancel the project that our two families are working on? Is it because you’ve angered him?”
“Nope again.”
Luo Hao didn’t believe her. “If you really didn’t, then you should bring Lu Zhao back tonight.”
“Lu Zhao went on a business trip.”
“How can there be such a coincidence? I don’t care.” Luo Hao gave her an ultimatum. “You have to bring Lu Zhao home tonight, or you won’t be able to come back ever again!”
