Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 23 Lust
In the evening, Nan Xu returned to the Lin family home alone.

Nan Xu pushed open the door and entered. She looked around and saw that only Lin Zhengyu was sitting on the sofa looking at the documents.

Nan Xu casually put her bag on the sofa. "Why are you alone? Aren't Mom and Auntie home?"

Lin Zhengyu glanced at the documents in his hand without even lifting his eyelids. "Yeah, they went shopping. They said they'd be back after dinner tonight."

Nanxu sat on the sofa, took the flower tea brought by the maid, and placed it on the coffee table.

"This is my preliminary draft of the contract. Take a look and see what you think." Lin Zhengyu handed the documents in his hand to Nan Xu.

Nanxu carefully examined the results and data.

Lin Zhengyu picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea. The tea was slightly yellowish and had already cooled down.

"Zhang Ma, get me a fresh cup of tea," Lin Zhengyu said to the busy servants in the kitchen.

Zhang Ma quickly brought over a fresh cup of tea and took away the tea that had gone cold from the coffee table.

Nan Xu casually flipped through the next couple of pages; they were all basic regulations, nothing wrong with them.

"There are no problems with any of this. Let's make a copy of this contract." Nan Xu picked up her flower tea and took two sips.

"By the way, I ran into a female student majoring in performing arts at the Communication University coffee shop today. She was very pretty, and it seems she hasn't been signed yet."

"That's pretty good. Should we consider signing her?" Lin Zhengyu picked up his teacup and blew on the foam on top.

"Hmm, I'll send a text message tonight to ask?" Nan Xu asked Lin Zhengyu for his opinion.

"Okay, if you're considering signing a contract, let me know. After all, this is our company's first signed artist, so we should make it a bit more special."

Sang Ting had been busy all day and had just returned from the coffee shop when she took her change of clothes to the bathroom.

Sang Tingwan came out of the bathroom, dried her hair with a towel, and sat down at the table.

"I heard that a woman at the coffee shop talked to you for a long time today?" The girl got off the bed, her voice laced with sarcasm.

The other two roommates exchanged a glance, already anticipating what was about to happen. They immediately made an excuse and left.

Sang Tingwan paused in wiping her hair. "No."

"No? You're trying to lie to me?" The girl's voice left no room for argument.

Sang Tingwan looked at the girl in front of her, not wanting to get entangled with her any further. She turned to leave.

The girl acted first, grabbing Sang Tingwan's wrist tightly. "Did I say you could leave?"

Sang Tingwan struggled, "Let me go, Sang Rou."

Sang Rou disgustedly released Sang Tingwan's hand, picked up a tissue from the table next to her, and wiped her hands as if she had touched something dirty.

"You have to answer my questions honestly."

"She just complimented me on my looks." Sang Tingwan didn't want to tell her, so she made up a lie on the spot.

"Ha, you are pretty, but has anyone signed you?" Sang Rou's sarcastic tone exploded in Sang Tingwan's ears.

"Why are you treating me like this?" Sang Tingwan thought bitterly.

Why should she be pushed out to bear all the consequences of her mother's wrongdoings?

"Why should I? Because you're my father's illegitimate daughter, a thing born of a mother but raised without one. Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?" With that, Sang Rou slapped Sang Tingwan across the face.

Sang Tingwan covered her cheeks, tears streaming down her face.

She'd had enough, but there was nothing she could change.

Sang Rou glanced at Sang Tingwan, whose face was covered in tears, and, finding it uninteresting, slammed the door and left.

Sang Tingwan's mother was Sang Rou's father's lover, when the affair was exposed.

Sang Tingwan's mother pushed Sang Tingwan out to bear the brunt of Sang Rou's mother's anger. She herself escaped unscathed and went abroad.

Lin Zhengyu and Nan Xu were the only ones having dinner. After dinner, the two sat on the hanging chairs in the yard and chatted.

"Do you think our company should launch a boy band or something?" Lin Zhengyu asked lazily, lying on the hammock.

Nanxu casually forked a piece of apple from the fruit plate, put it in her mouth, and said, "Let's forget about boy bands."

"Hmm, why? I see there are so many popular boy groups right now. Like Super Sweet Fruit, Cosmic Boys, Galaxy Boys..." Lin Zhengyu gave Nan Xu a lot of examples.

“Boys are easier to manage than girls, and they debut as idols as soon as they form a group. This age is when they are full of vigor and passion. Do you think they won’t date?” Nan Xu said slowly.

"Besides, that fruit is super sweet, but she's already become an ordinary person because of her relationship scandal."

"Ah, what you said seems to make a lot of sense. Let's put this matter aside for now," Lin Zhengyu said. "Yes, let's talk about it again when everything is back on track at the company," Nan Xu said, getting up and straightening the hem of her dress.

"Okay." Lin Zhengyu thought to himself, it was all thanks to Nan Xu.

Otherwise, if he makes the decisions alone, the company might become a complete mess.

"I'm going home now." Nan Xu turned to leave.

"Go home? Where is Lu Zhiyan?" Lin Zhengyu suddenly stood up from the hammock.

Nan Xu glanced at Lin Zhengyu, as if to say, isn't this obvious?

Lin Zhengyu shouted loudly, cursing, "Ah Xu, what kind of bewitching potion did that kid surnamed Lu give you?"

In his memory, Nan Xu was not a person who valued loyalty and righteousness. What exactly was Lu Zhiyan capable of that made Nan Xu want to be inseparable from him for even a day?

Nan Xu covered her ears as she walked; she couldn't hear anything.

As Nan Xu got into the car, she remembered she needed to send Sang Tingwan a text message: "Hello, our company is interested in signing a contract with you. We'd like to know if you'd also be interested in signing a contract with us. If so, let's schedule a time to discuss the specifics of the contract."

Sang Tingwan was hiding under the covers, wiping away tears, while looking at the text messages on her phone. She was pleasantly surprised.

Nan Xu quickly received Sang Tingwan's reply: Okay, is the coffee shop next to the school okay tomorrow?

Nanxu was very satisfied with Sang Tingwan's quick reply and replied immediately: Okay, then see you at the coffee shop tomorrow at noon, don't be late.

Nan Xu started her car and drove home. Apart from a few streetlights lit at the entrance, the entire building was almost shrouded in darkness, as if it were merging with the dark sky.

Nanxu didn't turn on the light switch, but went upstairs by the dim light of her flashlight.

The room door was ajar; Lu Zhiyan had already washed up and was asleep.

Nan Xu tiptoed to place her bag on the table, then took out a change of clothes from the dressing room and went into the bathroom.

Lu Zhiyan watched Nan Xu's stealthy figure disappear into the distance, a slight smile curving his lips.

He thought she wouldn't be coming back today, so he went to bed early.

Lu Zhiyan's eyes shone brightly in the dark, enclosed space.

After taking a shower, Nan Xu gently lifted the blanket with her back to Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan hugged Nan Xu from behind, startling her.

"You're not asleep? Then why isn't the light on?" Nan Xu patted her chest.

She felt that sooner or later she would be scared to death by Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan didn't speak, but gently kissed Nan Xu's earlobe.

Nan Xu groaned, trying to break free from Lu Zhiyan's restraints.

She couldn't stand this kind of closeness. And to make matters worse, Lu Zhiyan knew all her sensitive spots.

"Zhiyan, stop messing around." Nanxu bit her lip and whispered, trying not to make a sound that could be misunderstood.

Lu Zhiyan pinched Nan Xu's face, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I thought you weren't coming back today."

"What's wrong with you?" Nan Xu felt that Lu Zhiyan was a bit hard to explain.

"It's nothing, I just missed you." Lu Zhiyan released his arms from Nan Xu's embrace.

His outer robe slipped off during the struggle, and Lu Zhiyan's eyes darkened as he turned his face away.

Nan Xu went to bed, and unusually, Lu Zhiyan didn't hold her while she slept.

Nan Xu took the initiative to hug Lu Zhiyan's arm. "What's wrong with you today? You're acting a bit strange."

Lu Zhiyan lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "It's okay, go to sleep early."

"Why are you sleeping so early? You don't have to go to work tomorrow. Do you feel like I've been neglecting you these past two days?" Nan Xu said worriedly. She had indeed been quite busy with company matters these past two days, and perhaps she hadn't been able to take care of Lu Zhiyan's feelings.

Lu Zhiyan looked at Nan Xu, who was resting on her shoulder, and said, "A Ning." He then reached for Nan Xu's hand and placed it somewhere.

Nan Xu's face instantly turned bright red. It turned out that he was aroused and didn't want to disturb her.

But they are already boyfriend and girlfriend, and they will get married in the future.

Babies who like this style can save this; you won't regret it, it's guaranteed to be sweet!
