Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Shen Nian was so good-looking that one glance would make people fall for her. However, Shen Nian could only wear professional attire to work at the company, and would only wear white at leisure.

Seeing something, Jiang Lingling's eyes lit up, "Sister Nian, your necklace is so beautiful!"

Shen Nian lowered her head to take a look. It was the sunflower necklace.

"Well, I bought it because I thought it looked good too." She said.

"It's very special." Jiang Lingling said, "This is my first time seeing a sunflower necklace."

Shen Nian smiled and tucked the necklace back into her shirt.

...........................

At night, after Shen Nian finished bathing, she leaned against the bed reading a book.

The sound of the door opening came from the doorway. It was Lu Lingchuan coming back.

He walked into the room and stood at the door looking at Shen Nian. However, Shen Nian was concentrating on reading her book, seeming not to have noticed him.

After staring for a long time, Lu Lingchuan retracted his gaze, pulled at his tie, and strode towards the bathroom.

"Are you together with that Miss Liang?"

Not knowing when, Shen Nian had put down her book and was staring at Lu Lingchuan's back as she asked.

"......" Lu Lingchuan's figure paused for a moment. He didn't answer but walked into the bathroom instead.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Lingchuan came out after taking a bath, his hair half dry.

He sat on the other side of the large bed, silently drying his hair without saying a word.

Shen Nian also didn't go to get the hairdryer to help blow dry his hair like usual. The two of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the air was somewhat frozen.

After drying his hair so much that it wouldn't drip anymore, Lu Lingchuan threw the towel aside, then turned off the lights.

In an instant, the room became pitch black.

Shen Nian didn't say anything. She just silently closed her book and put it aside, preparing to sleep.

She had just laid down when a sturdy body pressed over, and Lu Lingchuan pinned her shoulder down with one hand while his lips were already on hers, lingering tenderly.

Gradually shifting downwards, his lips fell on her neck again, clavicle...

Shen Nian raised her head blankly staring at the ceiling, not resisting him, only asking in a soft voice, "Are you together with Miss Liang?"

Jiang Lingling bit on the straw drinking her milk tea, but her gaze was fixed intently on Shen Nian.

Feeling the gaze falling on her, Shen Nian raised her head and met Jiang Lingling's eyes.

She lowered her head to glance at the clothes she was wearing, then raised her head again to look at Jiang Lingling and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hehe......" Jiang Lingling released the straw. Smiling radiantly at Shen Nian, she sincerely praised, "What I said last time wasn't nonsense. Sister Nian, you look better than Miss Liang when you wear white."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian looked again at the white dress she was wearing. The corners of her lips curved up slightly. "Miss Liang is the future CEO's wife. Are you trying to make me offend her by saying this?"

Jiang Lingling shook her head and said very earnestly, "Of course Miss Liang also looks good in white, but when she wears it, there's a feeling like she's an artistic rich young lady. When you wear it..."

"How do I look when wearing it?" Shen Nian suddenly wanted to know the answer.

"When wearing it, there is..." Jiang Lingling was just about to blurt it out when the words were at the tip of her tongue but suddenly didn't know how to describe it.

Pure? Not just that.

Innocent? Also not suitable to describe Sister Nian.

Simple?

What was that word?

Jiang Lingling scratched her ears with her hands. Frowning, no matter how she thought about it, she just couldn't recall it.

"It's just...very special. I also don't know how to describe it either. Anyway, when I first saw Sister Nian wearing white, I felt like you're the most suitable for this color. Although Miss Liang also looks equally good wearing it, it's still not as nice as you."

Even though white wasn't some gorgeous color, wearing it wouldn't make one look particularly special either. Yet when seeing Shen Nian wearing a white dress, one would feel a sense of amazement at first sight, giving people a eye-catching feeling that would make them inadvertently take another look or two...and have a hard time forgetting it.

Shen Nian couldn't help laughing. "Although a bit tongue-tied, I roughly understand what you mean. Thanks."

"Hehe..." Jiang Lingling smiled embarrassedly. Her gaze landed on Shen Nian's neck again as she pointed and said, "Sister Nian, your sunflower necklace matches very nicely with your white dress."

Shen Nian lowered her head to take a look at the sunflower necklace around her neck and lightly hmm-ed in agreement.

"Very beautiful, very special." Jiang Lingling praised sincerely.

Shen Nian smiled faintly, "If you like it, I can bring you to buy one since this mall has their store."

"forget it." Jiang Lingling waved her hands declining, "It looks good on Sister Nian when you wear it, but not necessarily on me. Also, having the same accessory would make one feel uncomfortable."

Jiang Lingling knew Shen Nian had always been very fond of sunflowers. On her office desk, there was a fake sunflower flower arrangement. Her cup had sunflower patterns, and even the stickers she used to stick notes were sunflower ones.

As for herself, she didn't actually like sunflowers that much.
