The CEO’s Pet Cat

On the way home, Mia stayed silent, not about to speak.

Nangong asked while driving, carefully observing her expression, the entire atmosphere inside the car was dull and made people feel unusually depressed.

“What’s going on today?” After a long period of silence, Nangong asked, finally unable to resist asking. From the time Mia disappeared until now, he had been feeling unusually weird, but couldn’t say exactly what was going on.

Mia looked out through the car window, her voice tired, “I don’t know what the hell is going on, could it be the gang from the board of directors? They don’t want me in this seat at all, that’s why they’re trying to force me out?”

“I don’t think that this time, it doesn’t look like they did it.” Nangong asked as he concentrated on driving, one pair of thick eyebrows furrowed together, “Just imagine, if they had taken you captive, would they have let you back so easily?”

Mia turned her head to look at him, also full of confusion, “I’m wondering too, by all rights, since they made a move, they should have achieved a certain goal to do so. But, I came out unscathed and unthreatened, I really can’t figure out what’s going on.”

There was a silence.

“However, the words you said in the ward just now, I do think it’s very possible.” Nangong asked to break the dullness, “Maybe it was Lina who sent someone to hijack you, and she did so in order to make you late, or to make Grandpa Jun’s misunderstanding of you deeper, in that case …”

Mia took over and said, “So that would make it impossible for Asher to be with me? How is that possible? They’re getting married next month and Asher has always treated me like I was just a pet, so how could …”

“You believe me, I’m a man, I should know more about men than you do!” Nangong asked hesitantly, but still continued, “Asher’s anxiety and nervousness when he heard that you were missing was definitely not faked, he, he was really worried about you! Riina is bent on marrying Asher, she’ll probably experience it more deeply, that’s why she treats you as a love rival!”

A wave of pain almost pierced Mia as she desperately shook her head, “Nangong asked, don’t say that, no matter what, I won’t forgive him! He wouldn’t be like what you said, he’s simply a cold-blooded animal!”

Nangong asked words that not only reminded Mia of the unpleasant past, she closed her eyes in pain and buried her small face into her hands.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.” Nangong asked guiltily, “I thought that if you knew that he still cared about you, you would feel better in your heart, I didn’t expect … sorry, I will never mention it again!”

Mia didn’t have any reaction, and Nangong asked, not daring to say anything more, so he had to concentrate on driving the car.

The car soon stopped at Mia’s place, and Nangong asked to drop her off at the door, watching her walk towards the building.

“You hurry back, it’s been a hard day for you.” Knowing that Nangong asked was very worried about her disappearance, Mia admonished from the bottom of her heart.

Nangong asked and shook his head with a smile, his voice gentle, “I’ll naturally leave after I watch you go in. It’s fine, as long as you’re well, I won’t feel tired!”

“Alright then, I’ll go back first!” Knowing Nangong asked’s temper, Mia had to nod helplessly and turn around to slowly walk towards the inside.

As her back was about to disappear, Nangong asked suddenly mustered up the courage to chase after her and called out to her, “I have something I want to ask you.”

“What is it? Can’t we ask tomorrow?” Perhaps realizing what Nangong was going to ask, Mia was a bit restless and lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eyes.

Nangong asked looking deeply at her, his tone full of expectation, “I just want to ask you, what you said in front of Asher today, is it true? No, what I want to ask is, is any of it true?”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Nangong asked, I’m really tired today, let’s talk about this some other time, okay?” Mia turned around and headed inside, trying to avoid the topic.

In fact, after being with Nangong Man for so long, even if she was slow, she knew how Nangong Man felt about her. However, she was already scarred and couldn’t hold another man in her heart anymore!

The ever gentle Nangong asked but did not let her leave like before, tugging on her arm and looking into her eyes urgently asked, “Mia , I just want to ask you, do you like me a little? It doesn’t have to be much, even a little is good.”

Raising her eyes to look into Nangong asked’s expectant eyes, Mia fiercely dropped her head again and shook her head, “Nangong asked, I really don’t want to talk about this topic right now. You know, there are still a whole lot of problems with the group, I simply have no time to care about other things, let’s talk about it later, okay?”

“Mia, you’re simply avoiding this question!” Seeing her evasive look, her heart was anxious and angry, Nangong asked and couldn’t help but pluck up her voice, “You don’t dare to answer this question because you simply don’t have the means to face it. Let me ask you, you still like Asher, right? You see that he is getting married, you still care very much in your heart right?”

“I’m begging you, please don’t say anything, I really don’t want to talk about it. Besides, I don’t deserve you, you can find a better woman than me.” At the sound of Asher’s name, Mia covered her ears in pain and shook her head in agony.

Nangong asked, yanking away her hands covering her ears and looking straight into her eyes, “Who said you don’t deserve me? After being together for so long, I don’t believe that I don’t understand my feelings for you. Or, you’ve simply been pretending to be confused and pretending not to know my feelings for you, haven’t you?”

“I didn’t, I …” caught by Nangong asked his hands, Mia had to shake her head painfully, her face full of tears, “Nangong asked, you let me go back, I really don’t want to talk about this topic! ”

Nangong asked looking fixedly at the pain-filled expression of the little woman in front of him, finally his heart softened and let go of the hands that imprisoned her, dropping his head and saying helplessly, “It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have forced you, go away!”

“Nangong asked, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” After saying sorry twice in a row, Mia never looked at Nangong asked again and turned into the elevator room quickly, hiding her figure.

Looking at Mia’s disappearing figure, Nangong asked stood at the same spot for half a day, finally letting out a long sigh and slowly walking towards the parked car.

Inside a posh bar.

Claude shook his head helplessly as he looked at Asher, who was full of gloom and had no life to pour himself a drink, “I never thought that Asher, who was always thundering, would have a difficult time.”

“Claude, don’t gloat, I’m annoyed enough as it is, if you’re going to continue to be annoyed, get out!” Throwing his own cup down heavily on the table, Asher gave Claude a cold sweeping look.

Claude hurriedly waved his hand in surrender and said helplessly, “Asher, even if something happens, you should think of something, can you solve the problem by moping and drinking like this? Besides, it’s not like you don’t know your grandfather’s character …”

“It’s not my grandfather’s problem.” Before Claude could finish, Asher cut him off coldly.

“That’s odd, your parents have always been more open-minded, what’s bothering you?” Frozen, Claude’s face was full of confusion, “Could it be, that Miss Lai is up to something again?”

Although Grandpa Jun said that he had an obstinate and overbearing personality, Mr. and Mrs. Jun Hao Tian had always been more open-minded and shouldn’t be against Asher’s business.

Asher poured himself another glass of wine and flung it on the table, his dark eyes already a little tipsy, but his voice was unusually cold, “She’s in love with someone else!”

“She?” Claude froze for a moment and immediately reacted, exclaiming incredulously, “Impossible! How could she like someone else when the person she likes now is still you?”

“That’s what she told me herself, and in front of a lot of people.” Asher felt himself going crazy with jealousy at the thought of Mia holding Namgung’s asking arm.

Claude froze again, but laughed when he saw Asher’s face, “Asher, if I’m not mistaken, you’re jealous right now, haha, laughing my ass off, you’re actually jealous too!”

Asher gave him a cold look and Claude’s laughter came to an abrupt halt.

“Claude, I didn’t get you to come over here so you could laugh at me. If you don’t want to mix it up, you can keep laughing!” Looking at Claude icily, Asher’s voice didn’t have the slightest warmth.

This Claude, why does he always have to gloat first every time he needs an idea?

“Sorry, sorry, I rarely see you jealous so I couldn’t help it, huh …” Claude couldn’t help but laugh, “Asher ah, how can you not even understand that, did she tell you like someone else, just like someone else? Don’t you know that women are all mouthy, especially women in love?”

“You mean …” The glass that reached his mouth stuttered, and Asher’s dark eyes grew unusually bright.

“You didn’t have a happy relationship, and now that she’s in a new identity, do you want people to come to you like they used to, begging for you to love them? I’ve known her for so many years and I know she’s not like that at all!” Seeing Asher take his words in, Claude took a sip of his wine and said in a superior manner.

Asher’s dark eyes burst with surprise, “You’re right …”

“If you really want to start over with her, I think you’d better take care of the big trouble Miss Lai is in first!” Looking around, Claude mysteriously approached Asher, “Or else, you’ll have your work cut out for you!”

“She’s not really the problem, it’s my grandfather that’s the problem.” One of Asher’s bushy eyebrows furrowed together again at the mention of the question.

“So I’ll help you come up with an idea?” Grinning mysteriously, Claude’s mouth almost came up to Asher’s ear.
