Chapter 29: Confession VS absenteeism (Part 1)

I opened my lips slightly and my heart beat like a drum. Hearing Luo Xiangdong's voice, I looked up and saw his pair of black eyes that could kill people, staring at me unblinkingly.

I looked at him for three to five seconds, then suddenly took a step back and left his arms.

Luo Xiangdong was not unhappy because of my sudden movement. He put his hands casually in his trouser pockets. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips and said with a half-smile: "Are you afraid of me?"

I looked at him with caution and defensiveness in my eyes.

After a while, I looked around and said to him, "Thank you tonight, you can go."

Luo Xiangdong raised his eyes and said: "This is the rhythm of killing the donkey."

I could hear the teasing in his tone, and seeing the sly look on his face that was half-smiling but not smiling, I instinctively felt something was wrong.

A grown man and a woman who drank too much were standing on the street chatting in the middle of the night. If the two people were familiar with each other, it would make sense, but between me and Luo Xiangdong... we can't be considered familiar, right

So I subconsciously wanted to draw a clear line with him.

"Mr. Luo, thank you for helping me out tonight. No matter what your reason is, I thank you."

After I finished speaking, I added another sentence: "I'm almost sober now and can go home by myself."

Luo Xiangdong looked at me and asked without changing his expression: "What do you mean, for whatever reason... why do you think I came to your rescue?"

I stood there, not daring to move. God knows I might make a casual move now and betray my still drunken guilt.

Alcohol numbed my brain and made my reaction time extremely slow.

After Luo Xiangdong finished speaking for a while, I tried hard to maintain my facial expression and replied calmly: "We are in the same company, and you are my boss."

"No more?" Luo Xiangdong raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

I didn't say anything, but I felt inexplicably nervous in my heart. I didn't know what I was afraid of.

After a few seconds, Luo Xiangdong smiled lightly and said aloud: "Do you know how many employees Luo has? Do you know how embarrassing you are tonight? Don't say that I am your boss. If I have no idea about you, even if You are my boss, I won’t even go out and lose that person.”

I frowned subconsciously and replied aloud: "I know I'm embarrassed tonight, can you please stop reminding me..."

Halfway through my words, I suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Luo Xiangdong with a surprised expression.

Luo Xiangdong's eyes were full of meaning, and he looked back at me with a faint smile.

We stood on the street and looked at each other. I don't know how much time had passed before I replied blankly: "Mr. Luo... I drank too much, but don't make such a joke with me."

Luo Xiangdong smiled and said, "Am I kidding you?"

I frowned slightly and replied in a low voice: "It's not funny to make fun of a lunatic who was just publicly humiliated by his ex-boyfriend."

When Luo Xiangdong heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded.

He looked at me and said: "Liang Zijin, a man like your ex-boyfriend is not a human being at all. He is a scumbag at best. Instead of being obsessed with that kind of scumbag, you might as well make a new choice."

My heart beat faster. Luo Xiangdong's blatant words were no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.

But I couldn't believe it. I had just joined Luo's, and the president of Luo's, my immediate boss, was actually chasing me.

Swallowing secretly, I pretended to be calm and replied: "Mr. Luo, thank you for your enlightenment. I will never have anything to do with him again."

After that, without waiting for him to answer anything, I said directly: "It's not early now. I can take a taxi home, and you can..."

Before I finished speaking, Luo Xiangdong in front of me suddenly interrupted: "Liang Zijin, what do you think of me?"

"Ah?" I subconsciously opened my eyes slightly, looking unprepared.

I thought it was the same thing, but when I heard Luo Xiangdong say this with my own ears, I was so shocked that I almost woke up from the wine.

Luo Xiangdong looked at me without blinking and said, "What do you think of me?"

"Ah… "

I raised the corners of my stiff lips. I knew without thinking that the expression on my face at this moment must be that I couldn't laugh or cry.

Luo Xiangdong looked at the expression on my face and continued: "I can't be worse than your ex-boyfriend in any way, right?"

When I mentioned Chen Wenhang, I felt uncomfortable.

Holding back the wave of drunkenness that came to my head, I replied aloud: "Mr. Luo, my ex-boyfriend is a scumbag. If you compare with him, your status will be lowered. Please stop making such jokes."

Luo Xiangdong looked serious and said, "I'm not kidding you, I'm serious."

I stared at Luo Xiangdong's face, and for a moment I couldn't tell whether I had drunk too much or he had drunk too much.

Luo Xiangdong said without changing his expression: "As long as you are with me, I can give you whatever you want."

As soon as I heard this, my heart, which was still a little throbbing, suddenly sank.

Looking back at Luo Xiangdong calmly, I replied: "Mr. Luo, I just want to work well at Luo's."

Luo Xiangdong said: "With me, you can still work at Luo's. I can even let you choose any position in all departments as long as you like."

Listen, what a great temptation this is, who can resist it
