Bai Ruoshu understood what he ant by knowing one’s place.
The "colleagues" around her were all in varying states of undress, submissively allowing the n to take advantage of them, with occasional feigned reluctance serving rely as a form of flirtation.
Her lips moved with difficulty, but before she could utter a word, a calm voice cut through the uproar, sounding beside her ear.
"There are plenty of won here who know their place, many who are prettier than her. Why throw away money to bring trouble upon yourself, Young Master Tang?"
Originally noisy, the venue quieted down imdiately.
Tang Chengmo looked at Bai Ruoshu and laughed softly, "That’s true, but what can I do? Her phony pretentiousness just irks ."
After speaking, as if sothing suddenly occurred to him, he clapped his hands lightly, "Oh, what a mory I have, this chick is the one Mr. Nan has his eyes on..."
Nan Huaiyu laughed softly, speaking leisurely, "I’ve seen plenty of won I’m interested in, apart from those who are exceptionally good at serving n, the rest... I can’t recall clearly."
It was too dark for Bai Ruoshu to see his face.
But every word, devoid of warmth, felt like a stab into her heart, causing a dense pain that made it hard to breathe.
Tang Chengmo draped his arm over the woman’s shoulder, his fingertips barely grazing the softness of her chest, his lips curling up, "Then I’ll take this one with , and teach her properly how to serve n."
Nan Huaiyu half-closed his eyes, elegantly swirling the amber liquid in his glass, his voice flat, "Take care, Young Master Tang, have fun."
At that mont, Bai Ruoshu felt like she had fallen into an icy pit.

Since Nan Wan had spoken to Aunt Zhou, als were no longer purely vegetarian, returning to how they were initially.
After lunch, Mu Jin Huan returned to his study to handle urgent matters, while Nan Wan played with Barton for ten minutes before going upstairs.
She changed clothes in the dressing room and went to the study.
She placed a freshly brewed cup of tea by the man’s hand, speaking softly, "I’m going out for a while."
Mu Jin Huan’s eyes looked over the computer screen towards the already dressed woman, his brows furrowed slightly, "Tomorrow will be exhausting, you should stay ho and rest, if it’s not urgent, postpone it."
Nan Wan picked up the dropped docunts from the floor, smiling at him, "I’m going to mail the case file to Sheng Boyan; the sooner we have results, the sooner you’ll be at ease."
At these words, Mu Jin Huan’s expression remained steady, replying indifferently, "I’ll have the driver handle it for you."
"The case file is still in the office, I can drive over myself."
Mu Jin Huan was aware that there were many confidential items in the office, so he didn’t insist further, "Be back for dinner."
Nan Wan wanted to say she might be back late and that he shouldn’t wait for her, but before she spoke, she changed her mind and smiled, "Alright."
Her car was still parked by her apartnt, so she drove the least conspicuous car from Mu Jin Huan’s garage. Without traffic, she arrived at the hospital in less than half an hour.
"Hello?" Qin Zhenzhen, coming out of the bathroom, happened to see Nan Wan step out of the elevator. She dried her hands and jogged over, "Doctor Nan, didn’t you take a day off?"
Nan Wan glanced at her, rummaging through her bag for the keys, "I left sothing in the office; I’m here to pick it up."
Qin Zhenzhen leaned against the doorfra, hooking her finger under Nan Wan’s chin in a mock scoundrel flirting with an innocent girl style, "Oh my, the bride is looking radiant today..."
But before she could finish, she realized her behavior was inappropriate, her hand froze there, neither moving nor staying still.
Nan Wan was stunned too; though this girl was lively and behaved as a competent subordinate towards her, joking occasionally, she had never taken such a bold action.
The two of them stared at each other, frozen for several seconds.
Feeling the powerful aura of the other, Qin Zhenzhen swallowed and slowly retracted her hand, "Doctor Nan, I... I need to check the temperature of the patient in bed 106."
Having said that, she turned to make her escape.
However, as soon as she took her first step, a calm voice behind her said, "Stop."
Qin Zhenzhen closed her eyes, retracting her extended foot, chanically turned around, laughing dryly, "Hehe..."
But the other didn’t blink, just kept watching her, making her feel very uneasy.
