Chapter 219: A New Boyfriend
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Kang had been very good to her recently, so good that he was almost spoiling her.
Zheng Yue smiled at work every day, especially when she looked at Nan Kang.
Murong Qiao also received a report from her subordinate that he could see Nan Kang going to Zheng Yue’s house every day and would stay for the night occasionally.
An invisible progress bar was slowly pushing forward and Murong Qiao became more and more interested in Zheng Yue’s future development.
She looked forward to what kind of surprise Zheng Yue would give her next.
Just as Murong Qiao thought of the other party’s name, her cell phone vibrated.
It was a call from Zheng Yue.
“You’re on leave again?” Murong Qiao picked up.
Zheng Yue’s mood had obviously improved a lot in the past two days, so their daily conversation was light-hearted.
Zheng Yue immediately replied, “Yes, I don’t want to be so tired. I have a lot of work to do at work every day.”
She was half complaining and half helpless. There was indeed a lot of work to do as Nan Kang’s personal a.s.sistant.
“It’s not bad to rest for two days. Besides, I need to adjust my mood.” Zheng Yue chuckled.
Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows and didn’t interrupt her.
Those who were involved couldn’t lie. Murong Qiao carefully noticed that she was no longer so obsessed with work. Clearly, her quality of life had improved.
In the past, Zheng Yue would think that three part-time jobs were not enough to make enough money. However, now, she could even smile and say that she had taken leave from work, as if she did not care about her salary at all.
It seemed that Nan Kang had raised her well.
“You don’t want that sc.u.mbag anymore?” Murong Qiao teased.
Hearing that Zheng Yue’s tone was not so low, coupled with the progress she had made with Nan Kang in the past two days, she was probably living a good life.
Now that Ji Fei was mentioned, Zheng Yue was no longer so sad. She could even maintain the smile on her face.
She bit her lip and suddenly blushed. “I don’t want him anymore. I like someone else now.”
Zheng Yue had never told anyone about her being with Nan Kang, but she felt terrible to keep it a secret. At this moment, Murong Qiao was so concerned that she blurted it out.
“Someone you like?” Murong Qiao asked.
Her tone was puzzled and a little curious, which poked at Zheng Yue’s desire to find someone to talk to.
“Yes, we just got together not long ago,” Zheng Yue said softly. “He treats me very well and is also gentle. Other than being a little older, he really isn’t picky with me.”
Nan Kang looked elegant, and he did not have a beer belly like other company CEOs. Whether it was his appearance, figure, or mature and steady temperament, Zheng Yue was approving.
Since she had decided to be with Nan Kang, Zheng Yue had learned to ignore the incompatibility between the two of them and devote herself to her relationship with Nan Kang.
As long as she could maintain this relationship, she would not have to worry for the rest of her life.
“Older?” Murong Qiao frowned. “Be careful not to be deceived.”
Her worry did not seem to be fake. At this moment, her words of persuasion sounded like concern for a friend.
Hearing Zheng Yue’s description, Murong Qiao immediately knew who she was talking about, but she still pretended not to know.
Zheng Yue felt guilty and immediately remembered what she had done at the hotel.
To be honest, it seemed like she had lied to Nan Kang.
“It’s okay. He won’t lie to me.” Zheng Yue believed Nan Kang. “He even bought me a lot of things.”
After confirming their relationship, Nan Kang’s kindness to Zheng Yue was blatant. Apart from transferring money to her, he would also buy her gifts from time to time.
Hearing her like this, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but smile and continue asking as if she did not intend to.
“Then what does he like about you?” Murong Qiao asked.
She asked Zheng Yue in a soft and gossipy tone, as if she was curious.
However, the words had a different meaning when they reached Zheng Yue’s ears.
Murong Qiao’s words. .h.i.t her heart, raising questions.
Yes, what did Nan Kang like about her?
There were so many socialites in the circle, and there were countless n.o.ble, beautiful, and young people. Zheng Yue could not compare to them at all.
Her sweet words suddenly lost their confidence. “…I don’t know either.”
After hearing Murong Qiao’s words, Zheng Yue started to doubt herself.
She was used to feeling inferior. Now that Murong Qiao was leading her thoughts away, she immediately felt conflicted.
Hearing that Zheng Yue was silent, Murong Qiao knew that she had taken her words to heart.
“I have something on here. I’ll hang up first,” she said in a timely manner.
Zheng Yue responded, but her voice sounded absent-minded as if she was thinking about something.
Murong Qiao hung up the phone and considerately gave Zheng Yue some s.p.a.ce to think.
Some hidden thoughts only needed a spark to burn and turn into a raging fire.
Murong Qiao’s words were bait, making Zheng Yue’s inferiority complex and desire ferment into the emotions she wanted Zheng Yue to have.
Not long after the two of them ended the call, Zheng Yue heard a voice at the door.
She quickly ran out. “You’re here!”
Zheng Yue smiled and looked at Nan Kang, who had just entered the door. They had been very close for the past two days, and Nan Kang would come over as soon as he finished work.
However, Nan Kang came a little late today.
Nan Kang took off his coat and sat on the sofa. He hugged Zheng Yue and let her sit beside him.
“How are you feeling? Are you still feeling unwell?” He touched Zheng Yue’s head.
Zheng Yue didn’t go to work today because she felt uncomfortable.
Zheng Yue shook her head and replied with a smile, “It’s fine now.”
She was just being lazy and didn’t want to go to work, so she casually made up an excuse. She didn’t expect Nan Kang to still remember it.
Hearing that he was concerned about her, Zheng Yue felt less uneasy.
The two of them got closer and Zheng Yue could vaguely smell a sweet fragrance from him. It smelled like a girl’s perfume.
“I went to a banquet at the last minute today,” Nan Kang explained the reason for his late return.
Zheng Yue raised her hand and ma.s.saged his shoulder. “It’s been hard on you, but try not to drink too much. It’s not good for your health.”
Hearing his words, Zheng Yue immediately outlined an image in her mind.
With Nan Kang’s good qualities, there would probably be many girls coming to him at the banquet…
Thinking of those girls, Zheng Yue subconsciously reached out to touch her face and felt a pimple.
Although she had been taking good care of herself recently, her foundation was there. No matter how hard she tried, she could not compare to some people who were born good-looking.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Nan Kang was happy to hear her concerns for him.
After confirming their relationship, Nan Kang hadn’t felt Zheng Yue’s concern and love for him for a long time.
His sons were disobedient, and the company was struggling at death’s door, which only put more pressure on Nan Kang.
In the past, when he worked overtime in the company until late at night, his eyes were bloodshot. But now that he was living with Zheng Yue, Nan Kang would wake up every morning with a hot breakfast and ironed clothes without a single wrinkle. The toothpaste and hair gel would also be sitting neatly in front of the sink. Before he went to work, he would even kiss Zheng Yue goodbye.
Nan Kang liked the peace and quiet of Zheng Yue’s place, and it also helped him relax for a long time.
“Take a rest if you’re tired. I’ll make you a cup of fruit tea.” Zheng Yue slowly stood up.
She went to the kitchen to get the tea bags when the kitchen door hid her from view.
From an angle that Nan Kang could not see, Zheng Yue’s expression gradually turned cold, and there was a hint of doubt and worry.
The sweet fragrance she had just noticed was clearly that of a girl’s. Thinking about how Nan Kang had gone to the banquet earlier, it was difficult for Zheng Yue not to think too much about it.
She felt a sense of danger. For the first time, she realized that she might not be able to stay by Nan Kang’s side forever..
