She set down the cup in a fluster and stood up, ready to clean up.
"Don’t move, I’ll do it!"
Leng Zimo had already stood up, taken a quick step to her side, and snatched up the napkin, carefully dabbing at the spilled wine on the table. He then collected the napkin that had gotten splashed with wine from her, and spread his own napkin meticulously over her legs.
"How could you be so careless?" he scolded her, then he raised his face to glance at Jiao Yang, who had stood up and then sat back down, "President Jiao, my apologies!"
His voice was gentle, his attitude indulgent, and his actions doting.
He apologized to Jiao Yang proactively, not truly remorseful toward Jiao Yang, but to make it clear to the other party that even her impropriety was his fault, and he would take responsibility for all her actions and words.
Because this woman was his!
No one was allowed to covet her.
Jiao Yang was a shrewd man and naturally understood his implications, yet his gaze fell on Luo Xiaoqian, who seemed somewhat anxious and fearful, and he just slightly raised his eyebrows.
The Luo Xiaoqian before him was clearly uneasy, a state Jiao Yang rather disliked in Luo Xiaoqian.
This girl should be, as he had first seen her, dazzling, flamboyant, doing as she pleased, and not in her current state.
Leng Zimo sat back down in his own chair, refused the waiter’s offer to replace his napkin, and spread the wine-stained napkin from Luo Xiaoqian over his own knees. Then, he took the initiative to raise his cup.
"This cup, I drink on Xiaoqian’s behalf, thanking you for your barley," he said.
Jiao Yang fiddled with his own cup, "Why do you speak for her, you two...?"
Leng Zimo spoke assertively, "Because she is my person!"
Luo Xiaoqian’s face was covered in black lines as she hurried to explain, "President Leng is my direct superior. I’m an artist at Emperor View, so I belong to the company, which means I am effectively his person!"
"Oh!" Jiao Yang nodded lightly, "I see."
