Chapter 2: The Director Comes Out Of The Closet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Summertime in ‘A’ City always comes so early!
Shui Anluo was seated by a window in Kentucky Fried Chicken 1 with her exquisite chin propped on her hand. She chewed on her pen as she stared at the road outside which was drenched with sunlight.
“It would be wonderful if summer doesn’t exist,” whined Shui Anluo. This was a complaint directed toward the fact that she had failed to book a study room in the library despite waking up at five in the morning.
Shui Anluo was a third-year university student from ‘A’ University. In other words, she only had two more semesters before she completes her third year and enters into an internship as a fourth-year senior.
Sitting beside Shui Anluo was her Dorm Chief, Qiao Yaruan, who was also the teacher’s pet.
She was also her best friend at the university.
“If you have time to nag, why not use that time to read instead? If you fail another subject, the administration will have to take action. I wonder how you’ve managed to pass the entrance exam into this university in the first place?” Qiao Yaruan snapped in annoyance. This was entirely due to Shui Anluo’s previous final exam where she had failed four subjects out of five.
Shui Anluo laughed mockingly and did not reply.
“Early this morning, Director Chu Ningyi of the Chu Group announced that he has come out of the closet and stepped out hand-in-hand with the young boss of An Corporation, An Fengyang, into the public eye.”
“Pfft...” Shui Anluo huffed as she lifted her head and stared at the outdoor television outside KFC. However, Shui Anluo could hear herself swallowing nervously when she saw the person on the screen.
‘Has Chu Ningyi come out of the closet? Even if I had come out of the closet, he would never have come out of the closet by himself, right?’
The man’s face on the screen was blurry but Shui Anluo could recognize him even if his back was against her. That was indeed Chu Ningyi.
The person who was holding his hand was An Fengyang. Only he would have the boldness to wear a red suit and he even carried it off with great sex appeal.
“These days, all the handsome men seems to turn out gay.” sighed Qiao Yaruan.
Shui Anluo nibbled on her straw as she watched Chu Ningyi and An Fengyang. Those two were standing next to each other, and they looked more well-matched than when she was standing next to them.
“But doesn’t An Fengyang have a fianceé?” Shui Anluo suddenly asked.
‘What?’ Qiao Yaruan immediately lifted her head to look at her.
Shui Anluo had an innocent look on her face as she continued, “It was mentioned in the news. Wasn’t his fianceé some eldest daughter of the Shui family?” Shui Anluo could not stop herself from adding some emphasis into her words as she spoke.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the rich and powerful families sure are messy,” exclaimed Qiao Yaruan before she tapped on the desk. “Hurry up with your revision! Whatever it is, it’s over.”
Shui Anluo propped her chin on her hand once again and went into a daze. ‘Rich and powerful families sure are messy.’
‘However, what about Chu Ningyi and An Fengyang?’ Shui Anluo stared at the outdoor television again. Their figures have long disappeared from the screen. They had been separated for a year, and although they had not avoided each other on purpose, she had miraculously not seen anything about him until now.
Yet, she had received such shocking news about him today. Shui Anluo rubbed her twitching right eye which was indeed not a good omen.
Shui Anluo pondered for a moment before she shuddered and quickly lowered her head to continue studying.
However, An Fengyang had clearly been engaged to that pretentious girl Shui Anjiao, and he wanted to come out of the closet with Chu Ningyi. Shui Anluo suddenly felt as if there was nothing wrong with carefully observing this entertaining show.
The pair hung around KFC until nine p.m. before packing up and heading back to the dorm.
When they stepped out of KFC, they were immediately greeted by the sweltering heat.
A black Maybach suddenly appeared in front of the pair and blocked their way before someone opened the car door and stepped out. f reewe bnovel
“Miss Shui, our Madam requests the pleasure of seeing you.” The driver who stepped out of the car and spoke deferentially.
Shui Anluo stared at the man in a dull manner. She knew him, he was the Chu family’s chauffeur.
