Chapter 35: Good News
As if an intense feeling had arisen in his heart, he now had an inexplicable interest in Xia Xiaonuan.
Nangong Yaoling took long strides towards the CEO’s office, his handsome face looking magnificent and stunning in the sunlight.
His fingers elegantly dialed a series of numbers.
In the conference room, all the executives and managers exchanged glances, and after Nangong Yaoling left, they all let out a sigh of relief.
They couldn’t help but start discussing.
"What’s wrong with the CEO? Acting so weird?"
"Could it be he’s had a fight with the lady boss?"
"How is that possible? Does fighting look like that? Didn’t you see the CEO’s creepy smile just now? It gave me chills!"
"Yeah... I’ve never seen the CEO act like that in a meeting before..."
"Maybe it’s some good news between him and the lady boss..." "Cut it out, I heard the CEO’s relationship with the lady boss isn’t great... Otherwise, why would he always have rumors with female stars outside!"
"Yeah..."
"Alright, everyone disperse! Stop gossiping about the CEO’s family matters! No matter what, as long as the CEO is in a good mood, everything will go well for us!" one person stood up and said.
"Yeah, yeah..." Everyone then laughed and dispersed.
Nangong Yaoling sat behind his desk, and hearing his voice, the maid on the other end of the phone sounded a bit nervous.
"Yes... Young Master."
"What is the lady boss doing?" Nangong Yaoling asked bluntly.
"She... she should be upstairs." The maid quickly said, "I’ll go get her for you!"
"No need." Nangong Yaoling said indifferently, pausing for a moment.
The maid, hearing the silence on the other end, felt uncertain. Why would the Young Master, who rarely called home, call today? Suddenly, she thought of something and, to break the awkwardness, gathered her courage and said, "Young Master, today... today the lady boss was looking for you!"
Nangong Yaoling was slightly startled, his eyes brightening.
However, his tone remained arrogant and cold: "What did she want with me?"
"The lady boss didn’t say... but she asked me several times if you were back. It looked like she... missed you..."
The maid usually didn’t dare to speak to the Young Master like this, but recalling how the Young Master had her intentionally say those intimate pieces of lingerie belonged to the lady boss, she wondered—perhaps the Young Master still had feelings for the lady boss? Could it be that after the lady boss’s recent incident, the Young Master realized he was afraid of losing her, thus changing his attitude significantly?
Hearing the maid’s words, Nangong Yaoling felt an inexplicable warm stream flow through his heart.
"I understand." Nangong Yaoling said coldly, hanging up the phone.
He propped his long legs on the desk, leaned back in his chair, and began to sway gently. A trace of pride and carefree smile appeared on his handsome face.
He hadn’t expected to conquer her so soon?
He hadn’t even done much. After all, the charm of Nangong Yaoling was not something ordinary women could resist. Even if she no longer clung to him like before, she would still surrender under a little bit of his offensive.
Ah, being too charming as a man is really a dilemma!
Nangong Yaoling picked up his phone, wanting to call Xia Xiaonuan, but his finger hesitated for a moment.
