Chapter 71 - You Should Be Familiar Acquaintances With Miss Lin
One glass window apart, Lin Nuan became aware of two pairs of eyes focusing on them and she turned around… and paused.
Fu Huai’an was standing not far away with the very same President Tang she met at noon, and they were both looking their way.
Especially that President Tang… He looked at Lin Nuan with a gaze full of teasing smiles and amusement.
Lin Nuan’s hand tightened around her chopsticks and she quickly turned back, pretending she didn’t see anything while her heart thundered.
Why is that sponsor together with Fu Huai’an?
Seeing the glass of beer by her left hand, Lin Nuan had some hope left in her heart that the sponsor hadn’t seen it.
The other stuff was fine, but if the sponsor told the station about the matter and they found out that Lin Nuan wasn’t allergic to alcohol and had merely used it as an excuse to escape, she could imagine that in the future, for similar scenes like the one at noon, Lin Nuan would have no excuse to run away.
Seeing Lin Nuan’s tense body as though she was about to fight a huge enemy, Bai Xiaonian also looked out the window but didn’t see anything.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Nuan shook her head. Hopefully what happened just now was her imagination and that President Tang did not actually see her and Bai Xiaonian sitting here.
Hey, what a coincidence meeting you here…”
Tang Zheng’s smiling voice caused Lin Nuan’s back to stiffen.
While speaking, Tang Zheng had already stood beside their table with a smile. The way he looked down, his gaze towards Lin Nuan seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Bai Xiaonian probably didn’t guess that they would meet “President Tang” there either, her big eyes flashing with panic as she looked up at Tang Zheng… The alcohol was stuck in her throat, and she didn’t know whether it was appropriate to either swallow or do nothing.
Bai Xiaonian glanced at the half empty glass of beer in front of Lin Nuan. How unlucky, meeting the sponsor right when they just came out for a meal…
Plus, it was just when they were in the middle of drinking that they bumped into the sponsor who thought that Lin Nuan was allergic to alcohol.
Sensing a broad shadow loom over her from behind her back, Lin Nuan knew that Fu Huai’an was behind her and she tightened her hold on her chopsticks, her breathing becoming unnatural.
Last night, kissing Fu Huai’an had a different feeling to it compared to the first time she made love with him. The first time, Lin Nuan had faced that intimacy with the intention of giving over her body.
But last night, Lin Nuan could clearly feel herself getting stirred up and her desire was more honest.
From last night until today, she had purposefully avoided thinking about being intimate with Fu Huai’an as she didn’t want to remember that shameful stutter she felt in her heart. But all that work went down the drain the moment she saw him.
She felt that her eyelids were so heavy she could barely lift them—Fu Huai’an’s taste in her mouth was still unbelievably clear.
With Fu Huai’an behind her, Lin Nuan felt as though a bright piercing light was shining on her back and she was unable to act natural and relaxed.
Without waiting for Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian to invite them, Tang Zheng waved to the waiter and said, “Add two more sets of utensils to this table.”
After speaking, Tang Zheng smiled and asked Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian, “Today Miss Lin seemed to be allergic to alcohol after making a toast to me. I’ve been feeling so guilty I couldn’t eat so I couldn’t even finish my meal. Since we’ve coincidentally met here, it must be fate. Can we sit together to eat?”
Bai Xiaonian remained silent, a series of ellipses going through her mind.
How could they say no when Tang Zheng had already gotten the waiter to add utensils?
Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian sat next to the window while their bags were left on the chair near the corridor.
“Move your bag.”
Tang Zheng picked up Bai Xiaonian’s clutch and passed it to her. Bai Xiaonian could only take it since she couldn’t offend the sponsor.
Tang Zheng naturally sit beside Bai Xiaonian, his skill at acting overly familiar was amazing.
“Old Fu, come sit! You should be familiar acquaintances with Miss Lin…”
