Rebirth of the Little Actor Chapter 5 – Justified and slimy complaint, cute.
An Xing’s heart skipped a beat and he stood in the bathroom doorway, holding his breath.
The voices of the two people separated by a door were extremely low, and if not for the fact that the outer door had not been closed tightly, An Xing would not have been able to hear this sentence at all. He stood around the corner, struggling to distinguish it through the pattering water. The other man also seemed surprised by what his companion said.
“Huh? An Xing isn’t Mr. An’s son?”
“No, I mean – I heard someone say the other day that Mr. An’s son is interning in our company, but he doesn’t know anything without learning, it’s almost like he’s not his own son. I didn’t say that An Xing isn’t Mr. An’s son!”
“Ohhhh!” The man suddenly realized, “You speak clearly, ah, I thought you know what wealthy family secrets, such as carrying the wrong child or something ……”
“You’re sick, you’ve read too many novels!”
“It’s your expression that is unclear ……”
“……”
When An Xing was having lunch, despite his best efforts to hide it, he was still a bit distracted, unconsciously thinking about the conversation between those two just now, and remembering some things.
In his last life, he had been interning in the marketing department, and because of An Hao’s deliberate negligence, and because he was not suitable for the marketing department, the internship did not go well. Later, when his identity was exposed, some patriarchs in the company said that he wasn’t as good as his cousin, and he eventually let An Hao step on him to get to the top.
After being reborn and returning, An Xing didn’t take these rumors seriously, only thinking that they were rumors that An Hao had passed out to build up momentum. But after listening to the gossip of those two just now, he had a different idea.
An Xing looked at Xiao Rui, who was looking at his cell phone while picking at his meal across the table, and asked tentatively:
“Mr. Xiao, have you heard any rumors about me?”
Xiao Rui: “The uneducated little prince?”
An Xing: _(:_”∠)_
Looking at the teenager’s entangled biting chopsticks appearance, and then thinking that this kid was quite well-behaved when he worked in the morning, Xiao Rui, in a rare act of kindness, asked:
“What are you worried about, tell me.”
An Xing was tangled for a moment and asked in a small voice:
“If there’s some sort of, outrageous rumor about me …… well, why is that?”
The corners of Xiao Rui’s mouth twitched as he looked at him with the gaze of a silly son of the boss’s family.
“There are rumors about you, and the people who spread them have some sort of agenda. There were outrageous rumors, probably to cover up the true intentions for another purpose.”
An Xing: “…… Mr. Xiao you are talking in a way that is hard to understand.”
Xiao Rui: “You’re so stupid.”
An Xing grunted and lowered his head to eat without saying anything, and Xiao Rui didn’t pursue the question.
The rumors that were spread out were bound to have some sort of purpose, perhaps it was An Hao who was trying to highlight his own excellence and use this outrageous but widely spread rumor to compete for power.
But there was also the possibility that An Hao, at this point in time, had already begun to suspect, or even know, that he was the wrong person in holding. Otherwise, it would have been enough to rumor that he had poor abilities, so why say something that was ambiguous and easily interpreted with ambiguity?
Concerned about Shen Ying’s body, the matter of hugging the wrong person, An Xing did not want to directly say it. By coincidence, Father An and Mother An and the Ning family couple happened to have the same blood type, and he and Ning Rong also had the same blood type, leading to the fact that the routine physical examination was simply useless, and it was necessary to have the results of the paternity test in order to be persuasive.
He was thinking of taking things slowly, but if An Hao had already known about hugging the wrong children by this time, then he would have to start working on it earlier.
After following Xiao Rui to study for a day and refusing to work overtime without discrimination, An Xing planned to go find Lu Tianshen for dinner. It was then that he reacted to the fact that he hadn’t told Lu Tianshen in advance. Opening WeChat, the chat records of the two were still stuck in last night, Lu Tianshen asked him if he had fainted in the company, and he replied that he just didn’t sleep well.
Then this big pig’s trotter didn’t reply again.
An Xing was indignant, feeling that Lu Tianshen really was only in a business marriage with him, and didn’t even intend to cultivate a relationship at all.
“Son, go home …… What are you calling a taxi for?”
An Zhaoming, who was content to go home with his son, had a thump in his heart.
“Dad you go back and eat with mom, I’m going to find Brother Shen.”
An Zhaoming’s face remained impassive, but he was very vigilant inside.
“Go find Tian Shen another day …… Your mom called you home for dinner!”
An Xing looked up with an innocent face.
“Ah? But mom told me last night to go to Brother Shen more often!”
An Zhaoming: ……
An Zhaoming was suddenly a bit worried. Although he knew that Lu Tianshen that kid seldom jokes, his own son himself knew that he actually didn’t take the oral engagement …… between these two people particularly seriously.
After all, no matter how my son looked at it, he didn’t seem to be enlightened.
But at the same time, he also knew that if his son agreed to Lu Tianchen’s marriage contract, he must not reject this matter. So now this tendency is not optimistic…
An Zhaoming was worried, and the car called by An Xing had already arrived, and waving his hand towards him, he got into the car energetically.
Look at him to blackmail Brother Shen, a big one!
Lu Tianshen is twenty-five years old, five years older than An Xing, and has been an existence to be looked up to in their circle since he was a child. An Xing is okay, but he knows that Lu Tianshen is the childhood nightmare for many of his young friends, the kind of existence that will be read and compared to when getting beaten up.
Lu Tianshen skipped a grade in high school, took enough credits in advance to graduate from college, and then went abroad to study for a postgraduate degree. While others just graduated from college at the age of twenty-two, Lu Tian Shen has already started to practice at Lu’s company at the age of twenty-two. In recent years, the Lu family even announced Lu Tianshen as the heir at a banquet and he entered the headquarters of the Lu family to work. While the Lu family couple ran away to explore the market abroad.
When An Xing arrived at Lu’s, it was already almost seven o’clock, and the building was still brightly lit. Lu’s management is strict, employees have to swipe their work cards to enter and exit, An Xing was blocked at the front desk. He had never been to Lu’s headquarters before, and when he called Lu Tianshen just now, he didn’t answer, so he was probably still busy.
Could it be that he has to wait until Lu Tian Shen is busy ……?
An Xing touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.
Just as he was torn, the young lady at the front desk who had been secretly sizing him up came over and asked tentatively:
“May I ask if you are An Xing, Mr. An?”
An Xing was a bit surprised, and the front desk young lady immediately revealed a smile.
“Is Mr. An here to see our General Manager Lu? Mr. Lu’s office is on the 26th floor, he has instructed that you can just go up directly.”
An Xing: “…… He has instructed?”
The young lady smiled in a standard way, “In the most recent training, Mr. Lu gave us an account by pointing to the photo.”
“……”
An Xing was dizzy on the elevator, and only understood half a day later that Lu Tianshen had only recently greeted the people at the front desk, letting him in directly when they saw him.
As for why recently, that is only natural because, only recently they got engaged …… verbally.
Waiting for the elevator to reach the 26th floor, when the doors just opened, another pretty young lady stood at the door and smiled at An Xing.
“Mr. An, Mr. Lu’s meeting will be over in ten minutes, you wait in the lounge for a moment, I’ll go get you snacks.”
An Xing was led into the lounge with a surprised look on his face, and soon there were his favorite snacks brought and placed near his hand, as well as the drinks he often drank. Needless to say, these must have been arranged by Lu Tianshen’s order.
I didn’t expect that his brother Shen would still be so considerate!
Originally he was not very angry, nibbling on the snacks, An Xing’s mood became even more pleasant.
When Lu Tianshen looked at the missed calls on his cell phone and walked into the lounge, he saw that the little teenager was already unimaginatively nestled in the sofa, his long and straight legs resting on the armrests and swaying, and the hem of his milk-white short-sleeves slightly rubbed up a little bit, and even before he could see it clearly, it fell back down because of the action of reaching out to get the snacks.
Lu Tianshen inexplicably regretted it for a moment, and before he could elaborate on why he regretted it, the teenager with the short curly hair on his head had already seen him.
“Brother Shen!”
The teenager’s light curry-colored eyes brightened slightly, and his heavenly lips curved up in an even more pronounced arc of a smile as he rolled down from the sofa and didn’t forget to stuff snacks into his mouth as he stepped forward.
“You ignored me when I messaged you, been waiting for you for ages!”
Justified and slimy complaint, cute.
Adult males are tall and sturdy, standing in front of Lu Tianshen, An Xing inexplicably felt a bit like a child. He had just straightened his spine and raised his head, wanting to make himself a bit more imposing, when he suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes and a bit of warmth brushed against the corner of his lips.
Lu Tianshen had just withdrawn the bony, slender and powerful hand.
“Sorry, I didn’t look at my cell phone during the meeting.”
An Xing shook his ears, inexplicably feeling that this somewhat husky and tired voice of Lu Tian Shen was quite manly.
The way the teenager stared at the person with round eyes was like a kitten cub that was caught off guard and had his head stroked. Lu Tian Shen’s hand was a little itchy, but he just slightly tilted his head and seemed to think for a while before saying:
“…… I’ll treat you to the Luo family barbecue?”
Luo Family Barbecue Meat was a recently opened new private restaurant, the barbecue meat and dipping sauce were both excellent, and they also engaged in starvation marketing, limiting the number of diners per day. The last time they were verbally engaged, they ate there. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the food paving the way for a good mood, An Xing really wouldn’t have agreed to Lu Tian Shen’s engagement.
Counting the days before the rebirth, a total of only two months had passed, and An Xing still craved for their family’s barbecue meat, and was instantly happy, and even pretended to be polite.
“That’s so embarrassing ah …… next time I treat you!”
It was so beautiful that he swallowed his saliva, but he still had to say what he meant. The youthful and energetic appearance made Lu Tianchen feel that the exhaustion of a day of meetings and wrangling seemed to have disappeared.
It was only then that An Xing saw that the man’s face was somewhat hesitant with a fatigue tint.
“You look tired…how about we eat it another day?”
Lu Tian Shen laughed a little, “Eating with you is very relaxing.”
The man’s pair of slightly sharp eyes looked at An Xing, his gaze was gentle and seemed to carry a lot of unfinished words.
An Xing was oblivious and nodded his head vigorously, “That’s right! I have such a good appetite, everyone says that watching me eat is very appetizing!”
Lu Tianshen: “……”
