Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 943 - 940: Hey, Can You Take Me Home with You?

"..."

"I checked, there’s a role that needs an audition, you have to be at the company on time." Not sure what she was thinking, she suddenly added, "Forget it, I’ll call you to leave together that morning," to avoid any unexpected incidents like last time.

Nangong Xuan seemed to be at the edge of patience. He said, "Can you stop arranging acting roles for me all the time? Or could you train me in other areas?"

"Other areas?"

Nangong Xuan nodded.

"For example?"

"For example, an extra."

Lu Xinyun looked at him as if she had heard something unbelievable.

With your looks, even if they don’t cast you as the protagonist, they’d at least take you as a supporting role, and you’re thinking of being an extra?!

Lu Xinyun suppressed a twitching vein at her temple, "We can’t continue this conversation. You might as well go to Cai Zhili, she might be more patient than I am."

Unexpectedly, Nangong Xuan immediately refused and got up to leave.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"..."

However, Lu Xinyun’s only response was air.

-

Xiao Qing had just finished working when she saw Nangong Xuan standing at her office door, ready to knock. She smiled, "Xiao Xuan~"

"President Xiao~ can I take up a few minutes of your time?"

Xiao Qing chuckled, "Little Xuan has grown into a little gentleman, come in and sit." She had someone send over two servings of black tea, then sat opposite him, slowly asking, "How is working here for you?"

"Uh, it’s alright." He didn’t want to mention the matter with his manager, who was like a bodyguard.

But, to his surprise, Xiao Qing brought it up first.

"I heard from someone in the HR department that your manager applied to switch artists today, what’s that about?"

Nangong Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "She says I’m a disobedient artist and doesn’t want to manage me."

This time, it was Xiao Qing’s turn to be stunned, not expecting Nangong Xuan to admit it so straightforwardly, "Oh, I see~"

After a moment of silence, Nangong Xuan asked again, "President Xiao, where does Little Bao go to school?"

"Uh... why suddenly ask that?" Xiao Qing slightly lowered her eyes to hide her guilty feelings.

"Just curious to see if I know anyone there."

Xiao Qing thought for a moment and said, "Do you have her number? I can give it to you."

Nangong Xuan was elated inside, but his expression didn’t reveal it, "That would be best."

...

Having gotten Lu Xinyun’s number, Nangong Xuan was in a good mood for the rest of the day, with a slight smirk at the corner of his mouth on the way back to the office, looking a bit roguish.

Lu Xinyun saw the smiling Nangong Xuan and thought she was seeing things. She asked uncertainly, "Did you find some money today?"

Nangong Xuan glanced over indifferently, "Can I leave work now?"

"Another half hour, but you can leave if there’s nothing else." After Lu Xinyun finished speaking and saw Nangong Xuan about to go, she hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, can you take me back too?"

"Hm?"

"I... I don’t have a car."

Lu Xinyun was a bit hesitant raising the issue because she was afraid of running into those drunken people from last night, so she didn’t dare walk that road alone. She had taken a colleague’s car to work this morning.

Thinking about it, she rolled her eyes helplessly. It was her dad and brother’s fault; all the cars at home were high-end luxury brands. She had suggested buying an affordable car, but they opposed it.
