Chapter 1031: Chapter 1020: I Am His Boyfriend
“Chengtong, do you really want a whole truck? I just called the flower shop you often visit, and while they have roses, they can’t provide that many.”
Shortly afterwards, Hong Chengtong’s phone rang. His little brother’s voice revealed difficulty.
“Damn it, when I ask you to do something, can’t you use your brain? If one shop doesn’t have them, can’t you go to another? Search the whole city if you must, but get me those roses!”
Hong Chengtong cursed softly, then added generously, “Money is no issue, just put it on my tab.”
Spending money to win women over has been Hong Chengtong’s long-standing belief.
Thanks to his wealthy background, he never hesitated to spend money freely. Since developing an interest in women, he’s never been short of them.
But recently, despite his attempts at sending flowers and gifts, Tang Wenwen refused to accept them, making Hong Chengtong’s heart feel as though it’s crawling with thousands of ants, unbearably itchy.
“Wenwen, I must have you, you are mine!”
A fervent look flashed in Hong Chengtong’s eyes as he parked the car in front of the coffee shop and walked straight inside.
…
…
In the corner of the coffee shop, Ning Fan pushed the iron grinder towards Tang Wenwen, took a sip of his cappuccino, and smiled, “I don’t bite, why are you so nervous?”
“Ah… Am I nervous? Just a little bit.”
Tang Wenwen stuck out her tongue, showing a bit of shyness on her face.
She lowered her head to take a sip of coffee, then calmly said, “Mr. Manager, if it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t have known what to do that day. Thank you.”
“More thanks? You’ve already thanked me so much in the company that my ears are getting callused.”
Ning Fan waved his hand helplessly, saying, “I didn’t help you to get endless gratitude. Honestly, I’ve never liked Liu Yong.”
“Even if this incident hadn’t happened, I would have dealt with him. This was just the catalyst.”
When talking about company matters, a cold glimmer flashed in Ning Fan’s eyes as he said sternly, “If we don’t get rid of someone like Liu Yong, who harms the company, letting him continue to act recklessly isn’t good news for the company or his subordinates.”
“Hmm… Actually, many employees in the department are angry but don’t dare to speak against Manager Liu. He’s been with the company for so long and has good relationships with leaders in other departments, so no one dares to offend him.”
Watching Ning Fan’s side face, Tang Wenwen felt moved and asked softly, “Mr. Ning, will Manager Liu ever come back to the company?”
That guy probably doesn’t even know which river he’s feeding the fish in now. Coming back to the company seems unlikely; whether he can reincarnate peacefully depends on his luck.
Thinking about Liu Yong’s situation, Ning Fan let out a cold laugh.
Of course, he wouldn’t reveal these thoughts to Tang Wenwen.
In his view, despite Tang Wenwen not being able to contribute much to the company in terms of business abilities, she is undoubtedly a very kind girl.
Ning Fan didn’t want to taint someone like her with dark matters.
Although… he himself had long been immersed in darkness, unable to extricate himself, almost becoming one with the shadows.
“Wenwen!”
Just as Ning Fan was about to ask if Tang Wenwen had encountered any difficulties at work, a joyful shout suddenly erupted beside him.
After searching for a while, Hong Chengtong finally found where Tang Wenwen was.
The surprise on Hong Chengtong’s face quickly turned into a visible gloom when he saw Ning Fan sitting opposite Tang Wenwen.
“Who is he?”
Hong Chengtong pointed at Ning Fan with a disgruntled face.
“Mr. Hong…”
Tang Wenwen was somewhat shocked to see Hong Chengtong, a subtle hint of disgust flashing between her brows.
“Why is Mr. Hong suddenly here?”
Tang Wenwen asked softly.
“I came to find you. I saw you enter this coffee shop from a distance and thought I’d mistaken you.”
Hong Chengtong grinned cheekily, snapped his fingers, and teased, “Wenwen, why didn’t you tell me you were off today? Didn’t I say I’d take you on a trip when you have days off? You agreed to it.”
“I never agreed to that…”
Tang Wenwen’s face looked anxious, worried about Ning Fan misunderstanding, she stomped her feet and said, “Mr. Hong, please respect yourself. I have no relation with you. The contact during the business meeting last time was purely for work reasons.”
“Can you stop calling me with those harassing calls!”
Letting out a long breath after expressing her true thoughts, Tang Wenwen had been holding these words in for a long time. Today, perhaps because Ning Fan was beside her, she spoke without any reservation.
“If there’s nothing, step aside.”
Listening to their exchange, Ning Fan’s smile faded, his expression became extremely cold as he lightly pushed Hong Chengtong aside and led Tang Wenwen out of the coffee shop.
“Let’s go somewhere else.”
“Hmm…”
The dialogue between them reached Hong Chengtong’s ears like thunder.
Seeing Tang Wenwen’s shy demeanor, Hong Chengtong, even more infuriated, dashed outside the coffee shop.
Outside, his little brother’s delivery of roses had already arrived.
Witnessing this scene, both Ning Fan and Tang Wenwen instinctively paused.
After all, seeing an entire truckload of roses on the street would astonish anyone.
“Perfect timing!”
Seeing Tang Wenwen’s slightly parted lips, Hong Chengtong felt a rush and ran to her side, grabbed a dew-covered rose from the truck, and knelt before her on one knee.
“Wenwen… Ever since I saw you, I’ve been deeply attracted to you. Every second without seeing you feels unbearable.”
Hong Chengtong raised his head, his face full of affection, almost moved by his own words, “Wenwen, will you be my girlfriend? I’ll make you happy for a lifetime.”
“…”
Listening to Hong Chengtong’s cheesy, blunt confession, Tang Wenwen’s brows furrowed deeper. She wanted to refuse but didn’t know how to express her feelings.
Having never been in a relationship, how could she possibly know how to handle a confession properly?
“Hey, pal, did you leave your glasses at home, or are you really blind?”
Seeing Tang Wenwen’s dilemma, Ning Fan smiled slightly, reached out to wrap his arm around Tang Wenwen’s slim waist, and said with a smile, “Can’t you see Wenwen already has a boyfriend?”
“You?”
Hong Chengtong looked at Ning Fan’s hand wrapped around Tang Wenwen’s waist, noting her lack of resistance, and his face showed an expression of anger.
