Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

”Even if you take the clothes away, you can wear mine, but you still need to return them.”

Tang Wan didn’t really want her to return the clothes, just wanted to tell her...

No matter what, meeting face to face is unavoidable.

”Then lend me a bag.” Even if she had to return the clothes later, Lin Luyou felt embarrassed to toss her own clothes to someone else for cleaning.

”Let’s eat first, I’ll find you a bag later.”

...

The new house isn’t like the old residence, the table is very large, it’s a long six-person table. Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang, as a couple, would definitely sit on the same side, Jiang Shiyi then found a spot opposite them. Lin Luyou didn’t want to sit too close to Jiang Shiyi, but besides the spot next to her, the only empty spots were at the head and the tail ends, which would make her appear particularly awkward if she sat there.

Hesitating, she sat down beside him after all.

”Leader Lin, don’t be nervous, it’s just us four, having some home-cooked meals, try my cooking and see if it suits your taste.”

”Mm.” She nodded and amidst the three pairs of eyes watching, picked up the chopsticks.

”This dish of boiled meat slices is freshly made. I’m not sure if you can handle spicy food, so I only put a little chili in it. Give it a try—” Tang Wan casually invited her.

If it were under normal circumstances, Lin Luyou wouldn’t be so out of sorts, blame it on this rain...

It caught her unprepared!

Under the scrutiny of three pairs of eyes, she picked up a slice of the boiled meat; Tang Wan merely added a bit of chili for flavoring, it really wasn’t spicy, yet it choked her throat. She quickly turned her head and covered her mouth, violently coughing twice.

”Is it very spicy?” Tang Wan frowned.

”No... no...” Lin Luyou quickly waved her hand, and the next moment, a tissue appeared before her, she instinctively took it, wiped her mouth, and then there was a glass of water. The warm water soothed her throat, relieving the earlier irritation, finally making her feel a bit more comfortable.

”Are you okay now?” Jiang Shiyi asked.

Lin Luyou was just about to shake her head when she realized she was still holding Jiang Shiyi’s cup.

While Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang sitting opposite them were already stunned...

Such a good rapport?

Jiang Shiyi looked at the two people opposite him, ”Let’s start eating.”

Lin Luyou wished she could find a crack to crawl into, pushing the cup towards Jiang Shiyi’s side...

At that moment, she was just thinking that this was his cup and should be returned to its owner, completely forgetting that she had touched the cup herself.

When Jiang Shiyi picked up the cup to drink, she finally realized something was wrong, and Tang Wan almost choked.

Third Brother, what about your cleanliness obsession?

Lin Luyou bowed her head, not daring to meet the gaze of the two people opposite her.

Outside, the rain was pouring heavily, and the sound of raindrops hitting the glass could be faintly heard, heavy and urgent, just like her heart at the moment, pounding vigorously against her chest...

More urgent than the storm.

...

But soon Jiang Jinsang brought up the topic of investing in the club and then talked about Jiang Chengsi, easing the awkward atmosphere.

”Leader Lin, are the topics we’re discussing too boring?” Tang Wan noticed her silence and, being the guest, certainly wanted to take care of her.

”No, maybe I’m just too tired from work, listening to you is fine.” Lin Luyou wished they would treat her like she was invisible.

”Are you busy with work usually?” People are always curious to some degree about industries they aren’t familiar with.

”It’s alright. Perhaps when I need to rush papers and write reports, it gets busier.”

”You still have to write papers now?”

”If the institute needs to evaluate something or certain job titles, publishing papers is a must.”

...

Talking about work, Lin Luyou spoke more, and she gradually relaxed, with Tang Wan listening intently. But tonight, Tang Wan originally intended to stir things up, adhering to the principle of taking things all the way...

Lin Luyou watched her smile, soft and harmless, relaxing completely, but her following sentence pushed her into an abyss:

”If I knew you were so busy, I would have sent you the scarf, so you wouldn’t have been caught in the rain.”

Lin Luyou’s beautiful doe eyes opened slightly wider, gazing at Tang Wan...

Was she doing it on purpose?

But she smiled so sweetly and gently, even charmingly beautiful, completely unlike someone deep and scheming.
