Chapter 132 - 132 132 Are You Sure You Want Me to Say It Out
?Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Are You Sure You Want Me to Say It Out Loud? Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Are You Sure You Want Me to Say It Out Loud? The afternoon of that day, Fang Yan made another phone call.
“Ningning, Director Zhu would like to arrange dinner for tonight, do you have time?”
Luo Ning replied, “I have time, Brother Fang will you go with me?”
Fang Yan said, “Of course, I’ll watch the time and come pick you up in the evening.”
Luo Ning, a young girl accepting an invitation, he didn’t feel at ease.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you.” Luo Ning didn’t refuse his kind offer.
When it was past five in the afternoon, Fang Yan drove over to pick up Luo Ning.
The place chosen by the other party was the top-floor restaurant of a five-star hotel, with a nice environment and good dishes.
When Luo Ning and Fang Yan arrived, Xiao Yu was already there, and not only him but also Director Zhu.
Fang Yan greeted them with a smile first, “President Xiao, Director Zhu, sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Xiao Yu didn’t speak, but Director Zhu said with a smile, “We’ve just arrived too, besides it’s still more than ten minutes to the appointed time.”
Fang Yan and she hadn’t been late; it was them who had come early.
Luo Ning also greeted the two with a smile, “Hello President Xiao, hello Director Zhu!”
Director Zhu gestured invitingly, “Teacher Luo, Teacher Fang, please take a seat!”
After Luo Ning and the others sat down, Xiao Yu watched Luo Ning intently and said with a light chuckle, “Miss Luo is even more beautiful in person than in the photos online.”
His tone carried a somewhat flippant flavor, staring at a lady like that, one might think he had some sort of scheme in mind if they didn’t know better.
Seeing the clarity in his eyes, Luo Ning realized that he was different from the rumors.
She gave a faint smile, “It seems President Xiao is quite candid.”
That meant she accepted Xiao Yu’s compliment that she was more beautiful in person.
It also caught Director Zhu off guard for a moment since anyone else would have been modest or pretended to be embarrassed, yet Luo Ning readily acknowledged it.
Xiao Yu laughed out loud, “This is the first time in my life that someone has praised me for being straightforward.”
Then he changed the subject and looked at Luo Ning, “Since you’ve called me straightforward, let me get straight to the point and discuss the purpose of tonight’s dinner.”
Luo Ning nodded, “Go ahead.”
“I heard people say that Miss Luo is a rarely seen beauty, so I went online to look at your photos and videos, and indeed found you to be very pretty, although different from my usual tastes.”
Xiao Yu continued with a hint of flippancy, “So I thought about changing my tastes and giving it a try.”
“After seeing you, I became even more certain of that idea.”
He curled his lips and added, “So I’ve taken a liking to you. If you want that Second Female role, no problem, just keep me company for a while.”
“Of course, I’m always generous to women by my side. Other than the Second Female role, I can give you more resources, make you famous as a top starlet.”
His intentions were clear; he wanted to keep Luo Ning as his mistress.
Once these words came out, Fang Yan’s originally smiling face turned ugly instantly.
He truly didn’t expect that before they even started to eat, Xiao Yu would make such a shameless proposition.
Director Zhu was equally surprised. Was President Xiao too impulsive, perhaps?
He hadn’t expected that Xiao Yu invited Luo Ning to dinner today with the intention of keeping her as his mistress.
At the moment, he suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed, especially since the dinner was arranged by him, and he didn’t want to seem like he was pimping, but he hadn’t planned this, making it awkward whether to stay or leave.
Just as Fang Yan was about to retort coldly, Luo Ning pulled at his clothes to stop him.
Then he heard Luo Ning say to Xiao Yu, “President Xiao, I have no interest in your proposal. If I want to become a top starlet, I can achieve it through my own efforts, without your trouble.”
“As for that Second Female role, if you’re going to use an investor’s position to obstruct it, that’s also fine. If it doesn’t work out, I will just help Director Zhu find another investor.”
Luo Ning confidently said, “Whatever the amount you invest, I will match it.”
It was no big deal; she could take on a few more jobs lately and the money would come.
This statement surprised the three men present.
Especially Director Zhu, who was hearing such a bold statement from a star he knew for the first time, and she was the first starlet who didn’t fuss over a big investor.
However, he didn’t think Luo Ning was lying. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and concealed his playful smile.
Xiao Yu too was surprised that Luo Ning would stand up to him.
He wasn’t angry, but actually chuckled, “Miss Luo is indeed an interesting person.”
Anyone else, even if they wanted to refuse him, would at least do so indirectly.
But she said if it doesn’t work out, just change the investor. Where did she get such confidence and courage?
Luo Ning looked at him meaningfully and said, “President Xiao also seems different from what I’ve heard.”
In her last life, she had never met Xiao Yu in person, but she had heard many stories about him being a womanizer, changing women as often as he changed clothes.
The key was that he was not single, but married.
Moreover, Xiao Yu was also Liu Shaoxian’s brother-in-law, so Luo Ning had also assumed Xiao Yu was a dissolute womanizer.
Xiao Yu’s interest perked up as he asked with a smile, “Oh? What do you think is different about me, compared to what you’ve heard?”
“Are you sure you want me to say it out loud?” Luo Ning raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Yu chuckled, “Go ahead, I don’t mind.”
He was curious about what Luo Ning would say.
Was she trying to purposely act haughty in front of him, then play hard to get?
That would be quite interesting, but alas, he wasn’t caught by such tricks.
Luo Ning cleared her throat and said, “You asked for it.”
“For instance, rumors say you are very flirtatious, flying colorful banners outside your home without the red flag ever falling, never lacking women by your side.”
“Yet, I see you as still a virgin chicken, so rumors really are unreliable.”
You can tell a lot from a person’s face, like their marriage palace, which can show the relationship with their spouse and whether there are affairs or not.
Luo Ning saw that Xiao Yu’s left side of the marriage palace had a broken line, indicating his poor relationship with his wife.
Of course, having no marital relations for more than a year since getting married must be a big problem.
On the right side, his concubine palace was dim and dull, indicating he had no real entanglement with other women.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu’s smile froze slightly, and he laughed awkwardly, “Miss Luo sure knows how to joke.”
Director Zhu and Fang Yan looked incredulously at Xiao Yu. Did they mishear?
This famous libertine in and out of the industry was actually a virgin?
Regarding Luo Ning’s words, they had no doubts, and seeing Xiao Yu’s unnatural expression, they believed it was very likely true.
It was a total reversal of their understanding.
Luo Ning curved her lips and said, “Whether I’m joking or not, I think President Xiao knows best.”
Xiao Yu had a faint aura of merit radiating from his head, indicating he had done many good deeds and wasn’t a complete scoundrel.
Yet he was hypocritical, pretending to be lascivious when he wasn’t. Since he had just made those offensive proposals to her, she naturally didn’t mind exposing his shortcoming.
A woman’s grudges can indeed be petty, hmph.
