Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She had not eaten lunch and was famished.
In her haste to change Xiao Liuliu’s dressing, she had not felt the hunger. It was only now that she was watching someone eat in front of her eyes that she could not help but salivate at the sight.
It took all of her self-control not to pounce forward and grab some food for herself.
She tried to leave, but her legs would not budge…
“Would you like to stay and have lunch together with me?” Yu Yuehan asked nonchalantly, as if he could read her mind and see her internal struggle.
Hearing this, Nian Xiaomu’s eyes lit up!
She stepped forward, pulled out a chair, and sat down. She was going to say that she would accept his offer graciously.
However, before she could say anything, his low voice spoke first, “But perhaps Supervisor Nian might not enjoy eating together with people who are not adorable.”
Nian Xiaomu: “…!!!”
So he had heard what she said.
Everything she said had turned into a sin…
Nevertheless, what kind of person was Nian Xiaomu? When it came to good food and money, she was able to bow and rise at will!
Her cute face suddenly broke into a earnest smile and she replied, “What good is being adorable? Young Master you are so handsome, suave, dignified, and das.h.i.+ng. Your aristocratic aura is second to none… Compared to those coquettish guys out there, you’re much better!”
“…”
“It is my great honor to have lunch together with you, Young Master!” Nian Xiaomu proclaimed as she picked up the cutlery on the table and pulled a plate of steak closer to herself.
After failing twice to slice it, she poked her fork into the steak and tried to stuff the entire piece into her mouth.
“So, I’m even more superior than an iceberg?” Yu Yuehan raised his brow and looked over to Nian Xiaomu coolly.
Nian Xiaomu: “…!!!”
Hearing his words, the piece of steak that was dangling from her face fell right out of her mouth and back onto the plate before she could take a bite out of it.
What was she to do now?
Deny it to the end?
Or should she explain to him that she hadn’t meant what she said and that Young Master was actually not an iceberg, but a sensitive new-age guy?
Yu Yuehan leaned back against his chair and looked at her astonished face.
Her eyes were animated and exuded a tinge of cheekiness.
Although he knew that she was merely brus.h.i.+ng him off with words of flattery, somehow his mood was lifted and he felt less sulky already.
It even relieved him of the lethargy from attending meetings throughout the morning.
His aloof face turned tender.
“Young Master, let’s eat first and talk later?” Nian Xiaomu blurted out as her brain tried to think of an escape.
Then, she looked back at him nervously.
At first, she thought that he wouldn’t let her off easily, but at the very next moment, he picked up his chopsticks coolly and continued eating gracefully.
Nian Xiaomu shouted a silent celebratory cheer in her heart and quickly lowered her head to eat.
After having her fill, she remembered that she was working on the report that she had sent Shangxin’s manager and hurriedly returned to the public relations department.
“Is the work at the public relations department very busy?” Yu Yuehan asked as he watched her scurry away. Thinking about how she had not eaten her lunch even though it was already past two in the afternoon, he furrowed his brow.
The a.s.sistant replied, “It’s… regarding the project with Sheng Da Science and Technology. They hope to enlist Shangxin as the spokesperson. It was originally handled by Xie Jingjing, but now that she has been suspended from her duties for the internal investigation, Supervisor Nian has taken over her work.”
“Shangxin?” Yu Yuehan’s s.h.i.+fted his gaze and looked toward his a.s.sistant.
“Yes. Shangxin is one of the hottest models right now. However, from what I know about her, she has never appeared at events or accepted any endors.e.m.e.nts. She has offended many people over this, yet she hasn’t gotten into any trouble. It appears that she has strong backing. It should be almost impossible for Supervisor Nian to enlist her!”
