Chapter 167: A Heartless Woman

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After still not receiving a reply from Lu An, she sent another message, “I’ll give you ten seconds. If you don’t reply to me, 1’11 withdraw my sweet words.”

What Jin Nian didn’t know was that in Whale Company’s largest conference room, Lu An’s shareholders and top executives were glancing at the chat history displayed on the screen and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Xia Yu, who was also attending the meeting, looked at the profile picture on WeChat and pondered if she had seen this profile picture somewhere before.

Perhaps it was a coincidence as many people used this profile picture, or maybe she had come across it somewhere in the past.

Regarding Jin Nian’s messages appearing one after another on the projection screen, Lu An didn’t feel the slightest embarrassment.

A faint smile played on his lips as he leisurely turned off the screen of his phone.

The secretary was momentarily taken aback but quickly approached to defuse the situation. The meeting was declared temporarily halted.

Following the pause in the meeting, Lu An began to respond to Jin Nian’s messages.

“The meeting just ended, and my phone was on the screen, which is why 1 couldn’t reply to you.”

“What did you say?”

“I’ve received your sweet messages. They’re not bad, please continue.”

“… How many people are at the meeting?”

“Not many.”

Jin Nian was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she received another message from Lu An.

“It’s just the company’s top management, all the shareholders, and a few employees related to the projects.”

Jin Nian was speechless.

Was it too late for her to dig a hole and bury herself now?

Five minutes after the recollection ended, the news of Lu An’s marriage had already spread like wildfire within the company.

Someone didn’t shy away from it. He was either showing off or on his way to do so the entire day.

Even just the ring on his finger was enough to flaunt from every conceivable angle.

Every action of his conveyed to everyone that he was a man with a wedding ring, and he willingly embraced it.

Perhaps other men would consider being trapped by a ring as losing their freedom.

However, Lu An not only didn’t view it as a loss but was rather proud of it.

No one would have expected that beneath Lu An’s seemingly unrestrained exterior lay a heart yearning for the warmth of a family.

He had always wanted a home, a home that truly belonged to him.

After his display at the company, Lu An began to playfully tease Lu Feng.

He snapped several photos of the ring and deliberately selected what he considered the best one to send to Lu Feng.

“Do you recognize this thing? Have you ever seen a wedding ring?”

Lu Feng replied, “Go make an appointment with a doctor. There’s something wrong with you.”

“Hehe, you’re just jealous.”

“What’s there to be jealous of? It’s not even that nice.”

Lu An responded, “You should make an appointment with a doctor too. There’s something wrong with your eyes.”

After saying this, Lu An still felt somewhat aggrieved. He sent another message, “Are you jealous because I have a wedding ring and you don’t? Is that why you’re feeling inadequate?”

“That’s right. How can an unmarried person like you compare to a married person like me?”

“Lu An, does Jin Nian know that you’re parading around like a peacock with its tail feathers spread?”

“I get it. You’re just jealous to the point of being unreasonable.”

“Blocked. Don’t reply.”

With this incident, everyone at Whale knew about Niannian.

To be able to be affectionate with a man like Fire Dragon, she was no ordinary person.

However, what everyone was more curious about was who Niannian was and who possessed such power to capture their CEO.

Later on, rumors about Niannian became increasingly fervent.

Some people said that although Lu An frequently breathed fire at the company, he was a gentle lamb in front of his wife.

Others claimed that Fire Dragon and his wife were connected by a family alliance and lacked emotional roots. Nevertheless, he had to treat his wife better due to respect for his elders.

What everyone didn’t know was that the once-talked-about Niannian was now in a state of social invisibility.

She changed her profile picture and nickname as if deceiving herself, and eventually forced herself to immerse in work, refusing to dwell on these matters.

Jin Nian tossed her phone aside and dared not check it. Not only did she miss her lunchtime, but she also missed the message Lu An sent her.

Lu An wanted to know if Jin Nian wanted to have lunch together.

Jin Nian only saw this message almost two hours later. She replied briefly, “Forget it, coming over would be too troublesome for you.”

“No? What are you having for lunch? Don’t tell me you plan on skipping it?”

“How busy are you that you can’t even eat?”

“I’ll eat after I’m done. Have you eaten?”

“Of course not. I was waiting for your reply just now.”

“Then go ahead and eat by yourself. I’m going to have lunch too.”

“What a heartless woman. Sob, sob, sob….”
