Chapter 8
“Boss, what did you say?” Lin Shang thought he had heard wrong.
He stood in the corner and shivered.
Just now, their n.o.ble president actually said that he wanted to change the bed?!
“I can’t do that?” Lu Chu Yao asked nonchalantly. His eyes were dark without a hint of emotion.
“Are you sure you want to continue living there? You’ve already married that young lady behind the Lu family’s back, so why do you still have to live with her like this? You’ll have to return to B city after this collaboration is over. There’s still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the company.” Lin Shang felt that he had been a loyal follower for once. This was the first time he retorted his own president with great confidence.
In fact, he was just short of saying that the president is blinded by l.u.s.t.
“You’re so meddlesome,” Lu Chu Yao’s tone was very calm, but his expression was unhappy.
Obviously, he didn’t like it when others asked about his personal matters.
“President, actually, it’s good that the bed is smaller,” Lin Shang said at the risk of his life.
It was a warm bed, soft and fragrant.
Lu Chu Yao’s expression changed, but he did not say anything.
On the other hand, because it was a working day, Ning Sheng arrived at the office early.
She heaved a sigh of relief and walked in with a calm heart. She was slightly relieved seeing that the people inside were focused on their work and did not notice her.
The last time her parents wanted her to get married, they had come to the school to make a scene.
“Ning Sheng, you’re a little late today.” Her colleague, Xiao Ke, said. Seeing the diamond ring on her left ring finger, she thought of the rumors on campus and asked, “You’re married?”
Ning Sheng hesitated for a moment before she replied, “Yup.”
“No wonder. The diamond ring on your hand is very valuable, right? It looks very expensive.” Xiao Ke began to gossip. She had heard that Ning Sheng’s parents were going to marry her off to a rich man. So, was this considered marriage to a rich family?
“It’s not expensive,” Ning Sheng took a look.
Lu Chu Yao had casually put it on for her this morning before she left their place. His expression was very casual. She remembered Lu Chu Yao’s nonchalant look while he said in a flat tone, “This is a ring my mother left behind. It was not expensive and it’s not anything good. You can wear it first.”
She really did wear it.
“But why do I feel like I’ve seen this ring before?” Xiao Ke scratched her head.
Ning Sheng laughed and didn’t seem to mind, “You might have seen the luxury brands in the magazine, but this is left behind by my husband’s mother. He said himself that it was a fake diamond and that he just wanted me to wear it to look good.”.
She didn’t find it embarra.s.sing. Instead, she felt that it was proof of their marriage.
“Your husband, isn’t he very rich? Last time, your mother said that she had found you a very rich family. If you marry into that family, you should be rich right?” Xiao Ke sounded a little jealous when she said this.
Ning Sheng had been known for her good looks ever since she started her internship, but now she was married to an old man who was about to die. Xiao Ke did not feel pity for her. After all, Ning Sheng’s family was a typical greedy family.
“No, my husband is unemployed.”
Ning Sheng’s tone was monotone, and she was no longer in the mood to chat. Her expression turned cold.
“Ah?” Xiao Ke wanted to continue asking, but she realized that Ning Sheng didn’t want to talk to her anymore. She returned to her seat, looked at the diamond ring on her hand, and snorted. It’s fake, what was there to be proud of?
Ning Sheng’s first foreign language was English, her second was French, and her third was a variety of other languages.
She would teach different cla.s.ses every day, so she was pretty good at it. And because of her outstanding appearance, everyone called her ‘G.o.ddess Ning’. It was a name that the students made up.
