After saying that, Su Zhinian released his grip on Tang Nuan’s hair. Ignoring the eyes on him, he took a step back, grabbed the suit jacket hanging on the back of his chair, and dashed out of the room, a majestic aura swirling around him.
A long time after Su Zhinian left, the people in the room slowly came to one after another. Facing the chaos, everyone looked at each other before their gazes collectively fell on Tang Nuan and CEO Huang, who had brought her along.
The only reason CEO Huang had brought Tang Nuan along was because he thought she could at least be a beautiful vase, but who could have known that she would only make things more awkward for him? If possible, CEO Huang really wished he could act like he did not know Tang Nuan. Alas, the whole room knew it was him who brought Tang Nuan, so he could not pretend like he was not personally involved in this business.
CEO Huang stood to the side for a while before taking steps toward Tang Nuan. With a drawn face, he pulled her off the table and asked,
Are you okay?
The kick from Su Zhinian at her stomach caused an indescribable pain to weaken her body. When she was pulled up by CEO Huang, she finally had enough energy to open her eyes. She thought she would see concern in CEO Huang’s eyes, but to her disappointment, all she saw was disgust and annoyance.
An unspeakable sense of being wronged rose up in her heart. She lowered her gaze, and her blood-stained lips stretched into a thin line. She nodded weakly and replied,
I’m fine.
After that, Tang Nuan started coughing violently to the point where she coughed out a mouthful of blood. After the coughing subsided, she remembered that she come with CEO Huang and realized he must have been angry because she had made him lose face, so she forced her head upwards to tell him,
I’m sorry.
In Tang Nuan’s mind, CEO Huang treated her well. They had met each other when she went to interview him. He would call her intimately as darling, and he lavished her with gifts like rose bouquets, make-up kits, clothes, bags, and jewelry. He had never once raised his voice at her, so she believed if she actively apologized to him, he would brush it off and bring her to the hospital to have the best doctor check on her wound.
When CEO Huang heard her apology, his face became even more drawn. With his voice lowered to a severe volume, he started berating her before the roomful of people.
What is going on with you? I asked you to share a drink with CEO Su, but look at the mess you’ve made!
Tang Nuan’s heart was instantly chilled to its core. She stared dumbly at CEO Huang for a moment before averting her gaze and pulling her arm away from his grasp. She whispered softly,
I need to use the bathroom.
Without waiting for his answer, she turned around, with her hands over her stomach, and waddled her way out of the room.
Tang Nuan left the room and walked toward the bathroom when another door along the corridor opened, and Qin Yinan in a faded blue shirt walked out of it.
Tang Nuan’s first reaction was to turn around to prevent Qin Yinan from seeing her in this state. However, she could barely walk without support, so how could she manage to react with such agility and mobility?
Therefore, after Qin Yinan closed the door, his gaze slowly but surely fell on her body.
