Yuluo's head went blank for a moment, and then, scenes from the recent past quickly emerged. The big iron cage, Lucas, the senior's screams, the damp dungeon...
"Yuluo——"
Nie Shaotang's tone had an urgency that he had never noticed. He locked Yu Luo's face tightly, his eyes were bright, and he tried his best to ignore the big palm on her head that did not belong to him.
Ye Xiuchen gently stroked Yu Luo's head, as if caressing a beloved pet. This action made Nie Shaotang feel suffocated for no reason.
"Luoluo, tell me, is President Nie the person you like?"
Nie Shaotang's nerves couldn't help but tighten following Ye Xiuchen's words, and his eyes remained fixed on Yu Luo's body.
Yuluo was shocked and defended almost reflexively.
"No, no, he is just my boss."
The smile in Nie Shaotang's eyes faded little by little. Ye Xiuchen patted Yu Luo on the head with satisfaction and withdrew his hand.
"President Nie, Luoluo is not sensible. I hope President Nie will take care of you."
Nie Shaotang's pupils shrank. Who was this woman from Ye Xiuchen? She was so eager to clear away her relationship with him!
"Mr. Ye, you're welcome. I was just joking with Secretary Yu. She is not my type."
Yuluo's heart felt as if she had been bitten by an ant. It wasn't painful or itchy, but she felt uncomfortable.
It turned out that he was just joking.
This is a shopping mall banquet. The people who come are naturally motivated by profit. In the past, Ye Xiuchen would never show up for such a small occasion. This time he is here. Those who expect to cooperate with the Ye family
Of course you won't miss this opportunity.
Soon, only Nie Shaotang and Yu Luo were left alone in the same place.
Nie Shaotang snorted coldly: "Secretary Yu is really capable. Since we have such a close relationship with the dignified CEO of the Ye family, why bother to come to me to be a little secretary? Nie thinks highly of me."
Yuluo's slender eyebrows were knitted together, her nose was sour, and a warm liquid seemed to be overflowing from her eyes.
Nie Shaotang felt that what he said was a bit harsh, but he could not put it down. This was the first time that Nie Shaotang was rejected by a woman. In her eyes, women were just tools to vent their desires.
She, Yuluo, is no exception.
However, Nie Shaotang soon realized that something was wrong with Yu Luo. She lowered her head and said nothing, tightly holding the hem of her skirt with her fingers, and a small frown formed between her brows.
"Hey, are you okay?"
He finally couldn't help it and stretched out his hand to pull her, but she stubbornly avoided it, like a wronged child. Nie Shaotang's heart seemed to have been hit by something.
"Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom."
Before Nie Shaotang could answer, Yu Luo had already turned around and trotted into the toilet. She kept thinking about the words in her mind, "I was just joking with Secretary Yu. She is not my type."
Yuluo ran to the toilet in one breath. Her arms were sore and she leaned on the sink. The tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and fell down her cheeks, blurring her vision.
Why, since she was a child, she has been reminded all the time that she is ordinary and that she is not worthy of anyone's liking.
"Am I really ugly?"
Yuluo looked at the large glass mirror, her tears turned into mist and she couldn't see her own appearance clearly.
