Episode 21 Just for Fun

  Yu Luo's mind went blank for a moment, and then the scenes from not long ago flashed back. The large iron cage, Lucas, the senior's miserable cry, the damp dungeon...

  "Rainy Luò——"

  Nie Shao Tang's tone had an urgency that he himself was not aware of, his eyes locked tightly onto Yu Luo's face, shining brightly as he tried to ignore the large palm on her head that didn't belong to him.

  Ye Xiuzhen gently stroked Yu Luo's head, as if caressing a beloved pet. This action made Nie Shao Tang feel a sense of suffocation in his heart for no reason.

  "Lolo, tell me, is General Nie the one you like?"

  Nie Shao Tang's nerves involuntarily tensed up as he followed Ye Xiu's words, his gaze fixed motionlessly on Yu Luo's body.

  Yu Luo was startled and almost reflexively defended himself.

  "No, no, he's just my boss."

  Nie Shao Tang's smile in his eyes faded away bit by bit. Ye Xiu was satisfied and patted Yu Luo's head, then withdrew his hand.

  "Director Nie, Lolo doesn't understand things, hoping Director Nie will take care of him more."

  Nie Shao Tang's pupils contracted. What was this woman to Ye Xi Chen, anyway? She was so eager to sever her ties with him!

  "Mr. Ye was just being polite, and I was just joking with Secretary Yu, she's not my type anyway."

  Yu Luo's heart felt like it had been bitten by an ant - not painful, not itchy, but somehow uncomfortable.

  It turned out he was just joking.

  This is a business banquet, and the people who come are naturally all for the purpose of profit. In the past, in such a small gathering, Ye Xun would absolutely not appear, but this time he came, so those who expected to cooperate with Ye's family would certainly not miss this opportunity.

  Soon, they were left alone together, with only Nie Shao Tang and Yu Luo remaining.

  Nie Shao Tang let out a cold snort: "Rain, the secretary, really has skills. Since you have such a close relationship with the CEO of the Ye family, why bother to come to my Nie family and be a lowly secretary? You're giving me too much face."

  Yu Luo's delicate eyebrows furrowed together, her nose felt sour, and there was a warm feeling that seemed to be about to overflow from her eyes.

  Nie Shao Tang felt that he had spoken a bit too heavily, but he couldn't swallow his pride. He, Nie Shao Tang, was rejected by a woman for the first time. To him, women were just tools to satisfy his desires.

  She is no exception either.

  However, soon Nie Shao Tang discovered that Yu Luo was not feeling well. She lowered her head and didn't say a word, her ten fingers tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, with a small furrow already formed between her eyebrows.

  "Hey, are you okay?"

  He finally couldn't help it, stretched out his hand to pull her, but she stubbornly dodged away, like a wronged child. Nie Shao Tang's heart felt as if it had been hit by something.

  "Excuse me, I want to go to the restroom."

  Before An Ze could respond, Yu Luo had already turned around and quickly ran into the bathroom, constantly thinking about those words "I was just joking with Secretary Yu, she's not my type".

  Yu Luo ran to the bathroom in one breath, her arms aching, propping herself up against the sink, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, sliding down her cheeks and blurring her vision.

  Why, from young to old, she was always being reminded that she was ordinary, so ordinary that she wasn't worth anyone's liking.

  "Am I really that ugly?"

  Yu Luo gazed at the large glass mirror, her tears turned into misty vapor, and she couldn't see her own appearance clearly.
