After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: You Have a Good Eye
 

Ou Linlin grabbed her handbag and hurried after him, wrapping one hand around Sun Nanjue’s arm, “Director Sun, wherever you’re going, take me with you.”

Sun Nanjue scooped Ou Linlin into his arms and, right in front of An Zhe, deeply kissed her, “Little demon, you really want to be my housekeeper?”

“If Director Sun doesn’t mind, I’d be more than happy.”

“I’d be happy too, but our family patriarch has to nod approval first.” Sun Nanjue pushed Ou Linlin away half-jokingly and followed An Zhe into the elevator.

Ou Linlin just stood there, staring blankly at Sun Nanjue’s retreating figure, lost in thought.

Under her eyes, a myriad of affections was masked by a hint of sorrow.

Perhaps, for this lifetime, she could only play along with Sun Nanjue, never truly entering his heart.

After all, the gap between them was simply too vast.

Ou Linlin pulled out a slim cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. Between the smoke swirls, tears threatened to overflow in her eyes.

When Sun Nanjue and An Zhe arrived at Rose Residence, Sheng Shaochen was already drinking by himself.

“Yo, why are you here drinking alone? Surely even this doesn’t fail to catch your eye?” Sun Nanjue couldn’t help but tease from afar, upon seeing the state Sheng Shaochen was in.

An Zhe remained silent, his gaze fixated on Sheng Shaochen. His eyes trembled slightly when they landed on the scratch marks around his neck.

An involuntary erotic image flashed through his mind.

An Zhe quietly took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

The two walked over and sat down in front of Sheng Shaochen.

Sun Nanjue leaned in close to Sheng Shaochen, bumping him with his shoulder, “What’s got you dissatisfied? I definitely saw you at Rose Residence that night; surely it wasn’t that bad. I mean, who in Jin City would dare claim to be second to you in looks? And that fiery temperament, wild as a cat, must be quite something…”

“Did you sleep with her?” Sheng Shaochen suddenly turned sullen, his eyes cold as a leopard’s, piercing Sun Nanjue.

Despite it being July, Sun Nanjue felt a shiver throughout his body from the intense gaze.

“Come on, what are you talking about? I didn’t even lay a finger on that girl!”

Sheng Shaochen remained silent, his scrutinizing gaze freezing Sun Nanjue in place.

Sun Nanjue immediately bristled, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll strip naked for you to check.” He actually started to take off his pants.

An Zhe kicked him to sit down and pointed to the startlingly red scratch marks on Sheng Shaochen’s neck.

Sun Nanjue only glanced once and had an epiphany, stopping his belt-unbuckling mid-action to sit down cross-legged.

“Come on Ah Chen, that’s not fair. If you’ve taken a liking, just say it, why joke with your brother? In all my life, I’d dare touch any woman, but I’d never lay a hand on you and An Zhe’s women!”

“That would be for the best!” Sheng Shaochen retracted his gaze, poured himself another drink, and downed it in one go.

Sun Nanjue sighed, poured his own drink, and gulped it down, “Ah Chen, you didn’t invite us here just to declare your sovereignty, did you? Has Ye Shu really got you?”

Sheng Shaochen put down his wine glass, giving Sun Nanjue a sidelong glance.

This guy, if he had known earlier that the woman he’d been matched with was Ye Shu, would he have criticized him so harshly?

“This time, you’ve got vision.”

“Of course! Ah Chen, tell us brothers, how far have you guys progressed?” Delighted, Sun Nanjue completely lost his bearings, excitedly poured another drink, clinked his glass against Sheng Shaochen’s, and took a big gulp.
