Chapter 138 - 138: Don’t Ask, You’re Shameless
“I came to see you immediately because 1 missed my Sheng Sheng, but 1 ended up being kicked by you.” Lu Chu Yao’s voice suddenly slowed down, carrying a tinge of grievance, as he complained about being kicked by Ning Sheng.
Ning Sheng gazed earnestly at Lu Chu Yao. “It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t suddenly treated me like that, 1 wouldn’t have resorted to kicking you.”
Lu Chu Yao was speechless.
“I’m delighted that you’re back, but I’m very embarrassed that you’re doing this at my workplace. Furthermore, I find myself disliking you due to your frivolous behavior, particularly in a place where I have always dreamed of working.” Ning Sheng spoke seriously. She didn’t like the way Lu Chu Yao behaved, flaunting his handsome appearance. It made her angry.
While Ning Sheng had always carried herself with poise and composure, she now displayed the temperament of a child throwing a tantrum, without any regard for her own dignity.
“Ning Sheng, I…” Lu Chu Yao found himself struggling to find the right words.
He would never come to such a lousy place as the translation institute on his own accord.
However, Ning Sheng worked here, and there was even a man who was secretly supporting and encouraging her.
Most importantly, Ning Sheng heavily relied on this man, showing no inclination to seek his own assistance.
To put it plainly, he was jealous, but it was embarrassing to say it out loud.
“I’m going home.” Ning Sheng realized that Lu Chu Yao had released his grip on her and swiftly turned away.
Lu Chu Yao followed closely behind, matching her every step.
Lu Qi observed that his two masters were not very happy, and he was perplexed. What happened to the saying that a little absence makes the heart grow fonder? What about the happy reunion? They were deviating entirely from the script. As their subordinate, he felt a little frightened!
“Lu Qi, go find a bomb and blow up the translation institute.” Lu Chu Yao said.
Lu Qi flinched. “Master Yao, we really can’t blow up the translation institute.”
Was their quarrel really that severe? Master Yao was so angry that he even wanted to annihilate the translation institute!
“Then, if you blow up a person from the translation institute, nothing bad can happen, right?” Lu Chu Yao pondered, seemingly considering actually doing it.
Lu Qi didn’t say anything. He didn’t know which translation officer had provoked his master.
On the other hand, Ning Sheng was still angry. She had initially planned to prepare a meal for Lu Chu Yao today, but now she refused to do so.
She had even contemplated crafting a delectable feast for him, yet that desire had dissipated.
She would spend the entire night consumed by anger, refusing from sharing a bed with Lu Chu Yao altogether. She was thoroughly exasperated!
“Ning Sheng?”
Suddenly, a gentle voice brought Ning Sheng back from her thoughts.
Ning Sheng, who was still scowling and cursing, looked up upon hearing her name.
Jiang Ye Xu?
“Teacher Jiang, aren’t you done with work yet?” Ning Sheng inquired with a beaming smile.
Her tone was completely different from before. She couldn’t let her bad mood affect others.
Jiang Ye Xu shook his head. “Didn’t we agree that you don’t have to address me as ‘teacher’? I’m about to head home. Would you like me to give you a ride?”
His stance toward Ning Sheng was evident, maintaining a delicate balance neither too distant nor too close, akin to that of friends.
Embodying his name, he was very orderly and polite.
Ning Sheng waved her hand. “No need, someone from my family is picking me up. I’m also preparing to return.”
Despite her words, she couldn’t spot Lu Chu Yao following behind her. Could it be that Lu Chu Yao had already left? Or was Lu Chu Yao angry because of what she said earlier, so he went back ahead of her?
“Your family?” Jiang Ye Xu did not quite understand.
Was Ning Sheng’s family also in the capital? However, Ning Sheng’s family did not seem to dote on Ning Sheng that much and would even come fetch her home.
“My dear wife, let’s head home..”
