Chapter 216: Supporting Actress
Wen Xin's words made Luo Bing's face turn pale. I mean, with such a flat road, how could one easily twist an ankle? It must be deliberate, just to get back at Xiao Tianyu. Fortunately, the soup wasn't very hot; if it were fresh off the stove, Xiao Tianyu's skin would have been peeled off.
Thinking of this, the women were filled with rage, and Shen Jing spoke up, "I think so too; it was clearly intentional. Why twist an ankle earlier or later? It had to happen at this very moment, and conveniently spill the soup on Tianyu. How could things be so coincidental in this world?"
"Exactly. Even if you want revenge, you can't use such methods. Lucky for you, the soup wasn't too hot, or the perfect guy would have been ruined by your hands!"
"I... I really didn't mean to, and the soup's temperature was controlled in advance. It wasn't hot at all..." Luo Bing hurriedly explained, flustered.
"Oh, I know; the soup wasn't hot because you controlled it in advance, and you still say it wasn't intentional?"
"..." Luo Bing opened her mouth, left speechless. In the frenzy of the moment, she accidentally let slip the truth, her face turned extremely unpleasant.
"Enough, I've got no issue!" Xiao Tianyu interrupted, looking at Luo Bing. He spoke coolly, "So, have you gotten your revenge now?"
Feeling the chills from Xiao Tianyu, Luo Bing's heart shook: "I... I didn't mean it, truly, look at my twisted ankle!"
"Maybe you're just pretending!" Lin Shuya mocked.
"What do you mean maybe it's pretending? It's obviously pretending!" Wen Xin scoffed beside her.
"..."
Xiao Tianyu lowered his gaze and glanced at Luo Bing's foot. The heel of Luo Bing's high heel was indeed broken. Her foot was really twisted and very swollen and red, clearly not a pretense.
Then Xiao Tianyu said coolly, "Give me your foot!"
"What are you going to do?" Luo Bing spoke cautiously, afraid that Xiao Tianyu might take this opportunity to retaliate against her. Her foot already hurt a lot; if Xiao Tianyu added on, she'd definitely be unable to walk.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu didn't pay attention, forcibly grabbed Luo Bing's jade foot, causing her to moan in pain. Cold sweat broke out, and she looked at Xiao Tianyu with terror. This was revenge, definitely revenge.
"Um, Tianyu, just now... I really didn't mean it, please... please forgive me!" Luo Bing pleaded.
Xiao Tianyu replied indifferently, "For revenge, you certainly went all out. Do you think I should nominate you for the Best Supporting Actress award?"
Supporting Actress?
Luo Bing was stunned for a moment. She really wanted to ask who was the heroine in Xiao Tianyu's mind. Luo Bing didn't want to be the supporting actress; she wanted to be the heroine, Xiao Tianyu's heroine.
Then, Luo Bing stammered, "What did you just say? I can't understand!"
After that, Luo Bing didn't dare look into Xiao Tianyu's deep eyes, instead buried her head in the lofty mountains, evidently embarrassed.
"If you don't understand, then forget it!" After speaking, without waiting for Luo Bing's agreement, he forcibly grabbed Luo Bing's ankle, causing her to exclaim, "What are you trying to do? Just now… I really made a mistake… it hurts… hurts…"
Crack~
Ah~
Luo Bing let out a miserable scream, her clothes soaked in cold sweat, showing it was quite painful. This guy was getting revenge, definitely revenge...
To be honest, Xiao Tianyu did have a bit of revenge in mind, which is why he used so much force. But the bone that had been twisted was indeed reset by him.
Then Xiao Tianyu clapped his hands, "Alright, hopefully next time you won't play such childish pranks again. This time, I kindly helped to set your bone, next time it'll be a genuine fracture!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Bing tentatively walked two steps, revealing a hint of surprise; was it really alright? Could this guy actually be an orthopedic doctor?
Initially, Luo Bing thought this twisted ankle would at least hurt for a few days. She never imagined Xiao Tianyu's touch would cure it immediately.
"Don't look at me like that. If it weren't for the fact we're in the same department, I'd have slapped you onto the south wall long ago!" Xiao Tianyu spoke coolly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Bing looked awkward, stammering, unsure what to say.
Xiao Tianyu paid no attention, addressing the attending women, "You guys go ahead; I'm leaving first!"
After speaking, Xiao Tianyu got up and left the restaurant, heading to the restroom. Watching Xiao Tianyu's back, Luo Bing silently regretted, thinking: was she really too excessive just now?
At that moment, because Luo Bing could easily sense a strange distancing from Xiao Tianyu.
After arriving at the restroom, Xiao Tianyu took off his stained clothes, washed them a bit, and also took the opportunity to wash his head.
In the restaurant, the goddesses exchanged glances, all having the same thought: an opportunity to win the favor of the perfect guy had come.
Then, Wen Xin spoke with a light smile, "Enjoy your meal; I need to step out for a bit!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"..."
Wen Xin hesitated, did these vixen women already figure out her intentions?
Soon, the goddesses stepped out of the restaurant, making their way in high heels.
Sitting not far away, Ye Qingcheng's gaze was ice cold. She understood quite well what the goddesses were up to—just puzzled at how Xiao Tianyu, clearly a rogue and womanizer, could earn the concern of so many beauties?
Then, outside the Qingcheng International's main entrance, the PR department goddesses drove away from the company one by one, heading to the nearest clothing mall.
…
2 PM, Planning Department.
Xiao Tianyu, dressed in oil-stained clothing, entered the planning department. When he reached his workstation, he was taken aback by the pile of suits on his desk.
What's going on? Is this the planning department, or a clothing store? Where did these clothes come from?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tianyu gave an odd look at the goddesses of the planning department; these women were really quite considerate.
Tap tap tap~
Soon, the goddesses stepped in front of Xiao Tianyu in their high heels.
Wen Xin picked up a set of black suits, smiling slightly: "Tianyu, these clothes were especially prepared for you. Try them on to see if they fit!"
"Black doesn't suit Tianyu; white would be better. Tianyu, try this set first!" Fang Siying chimed in.
"No, Tianyu doesn't like your clothes; he prefers casual wear. Haven't you noticed he's always wearing casual clothes to work? Take your clothes away; don't block my Tianyu's sight!"
"Hmph~ What's so good about casual wear? To have true male charm, suits are more suitable for Tianyu!"
"..."
The goddesses argued fiercely; Xiao Tianyu had a headache over this. It was difficult for him to choose which woman's clothes to wear; it was likely to offend the others.
At this moment, Luo Bing stepped in on high heels, holding a set of suits: "Tianyu, these are what I bought for you..."
When Luo Bing saw the table full of branded clothes, she swallowed the rest of her words abruptly.
Original guilt had led Luo Bing to buy a set of clothes for Xiao Tianyu as an apology. But now, with so many women willing to buy clothes for him, her set seemed insignificant.
