Chapter 28 Concerned about Me?

When they reached the door, Ning Yao lowered her head and said to Clarence, “Thank you, Mr. He. It’s all thanks to you this time.”

“Who was that person?” A hint of killing intent appeared in Clarence’s eyes at the thought of Yang Yuan.

“He’s my ex-fiancé,” Ning Yao explained helplessly. “But I have nothing to do with him anymore. He came to our school as an exchange student recently, so I met him today.”

“You should stay away from him in the future.” Clarency nodded. Then, he looked at her worriedly. “But won’t you run into him often in school in the future?”

“I can’t help it. I’ll be more careful. I’ve troubled you today, Mr. He.”

“I’m fine. You can go back and rest. I’ll take care of that man.”

The two had eventually arrived at the entrance of the dormitory building. One was tall and handsome, while the other was petite and cute. They immediately attracted many people’s attention.

There were often young couples making out in front of the dormitory building and this pair seemed to match the image of a couple in love.

What made Ning Yao even more flustered was the fact that Clarence was touching her head so gently. Ning Yao’s face and ears immediately turned red as she turned around and ran into the dormitory building without even saying goodbye to him.

As he looked at Ning Yao’s back, there was a gentleness in his eyes. A boy next to him stared at her for a long time before he finally couldn’t help but said, “Brother, your girlfriend is so beautiful. She’s so blessed!”

“Of course.” Clarence turned around and smiled.

When Ning Yao returned to the dormitory, she realized that her roommates were not there. She then realized that she was still wearing Clarence’s suit jacket and quickly took it off.

The black suit jacket had a unique smell that belonged only to Clarence. It smelled woody mixed with sandalwood in a Buddhist temple. In short, it smelled very good.

She stood there in a daze for a while before she folded the suit and put it away. She planned to go to a dry cleaner tomorrow to wash it before returning it to Clarence.

When her roommates came back in the evening, Bai Jie mentioned that there seemed to be an incident outside the school in the afternoon. The other two did not know the details.

It seemed like the school had taken measures to keep this matter a secret and did not want to blow it up.

After all, Yang Yuan was the young master of Yang Group. The school wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility if something happened to him.

Of course, the most important thing was that the president of Glory World Corporation, Clarence, was also present.

Between the two, the school was actually more afraid of Clarence.

Ning Yao was relieved. She put the contract that Clarence had given her this afternoon on the table. She was going to sort out her thoughts tonight and then organize them in detail tomorrow.

She was looking at the contract when she received a message on her phone.

She opened it and saw that it was Clarence who had messaged.

(You don’t have to come tomorrow. Have a good rest.’

Clarence must have asked her to rest for one more day because he was worried that she had been frightened today.

However, Ning Yao was not so delicate. After thanking him, she responded.

(I’m fine, Mr. He. I’m not injured, so I’ll still be at the office tomorrow.)

[Alright, have you had dinner?]

[I’ve eaten, what about you?]

After replying, Ning Yao suddenly felt that the two of them really acted like a couple.

After all, how could a boss and employee ask each other if they had eaten dinner?

Her heart raced, but she felt that she was overthinking things. Maybe he was just concerned about his employee’s mental state. After all, she had just been harassed by Yang Yuan this afternoon.

She looked at her phone again as Clarence replied.

[Not yet.)

(That won’t do. It’ll hurt your stomach if you don’t eat dinner.]

Ning Yao started to worry for Clarence.

[It’s really uncomfortable to have gastric.]

After a moment of silence, a message came from the other side.

[Concerned about me?]

Ning Yaowas stunned.

Why would Clarence ask her that?

Concerned? Was…she?

She was just asking a few more questions.

[I guess so. Anyway, Mr. He, please hurry up and have your dinner. I’ll stop talking. I haven’t finished reading the contract yet.]

Ning Yao blushed and put down her phone.

In less than two minutes, she couldn’t help but turn on her phone again to see what Clarence had replied.

When she turned on her phone, she suddenly remembered a sentence she had read on the internet before: ‘Looking forward to a man’s reply is the first step to falling in love with him.’

Ning Yao’s heart skipped a beat. Was she expecting a reply from Clarence?

She turned on her phone and found a picture. In the picture, there was a simple piece of steak on a ceramic plate on a clean table.

The photo was taken very casually since Clarence’s other hand which was holding a fork was also in the picture. The man’s fingers were long, slender, and sexy. No matter how you looked at it, you would not get tired of it.

Ning Yao’s heart raced and she quickly saved the photo to her phone. She then pretended to be calm and replied.

(Yes, you should eat more.]

The other side was silent for two seconds before replying with two words. [Yes, ma’am.]
