Chapter 1282: Naturally Let Her Know There is a Difference in Status
Hearing what Di Jinxuan said, Feng Rao lowered her eyes, about to respond, when Nangong Jin suddenly spoke up, his voice icy cold, clearly quite annoyed, "Let it pass this time, but mind your manners next time. Know clearly who is the master and who is the subordinate."
"The master is right, Feng Rao knows her mistake." Feng Rao lowered her head, her eyes reddening severely. Nangong Jin has always been strict about separating public from private matters, and maintaining hierarchy, absolutely not allowing any overstepping.
It’s just that before this woman appeared, Nangong Jin was never this stern with her; she was the exception among all the members of the Netherworld Pavilion.
But now she’s no longer the exception, and this change really breaks her heart.
She suddenly felt that coming with them for dinner was simply asking for trouble. Feng Rao sat down but felt uncomfortable all over, so she stood up and said, "Master, I need to use the restroom."
After saying that, Feng Rao fled in a panic, the contrasts between people sometimes being clearly evident from their statuses and differences in treatment.
After Feng Rao had left, Di Jinxuan then quietly asked in private, "Wasn’t that a bit harsh?"
"How so?" Nangong Jin seriously replied, "She’s just one of my subordinates, and in front of you, she is your subordinate too. Overstepping is absolutely not allowed. Besides, don’t you dislike her?"
"I wouldn’t say I dislike her," Di Jinxuan pouted.
"You just feel uncomfortable with her always following me around?" Nangong Jin asked with a smile.
"Not really." Di Jinxuan scratched her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed to admit it.
"Don’t worry. Your husband will handle it well." Nangong Jin seriously looked at her, reached out to turn her face towards his, looking intensely into her eyes, "Wife, trust me, I won’t let you get hurt in the future."
Not the slightest bit.
"Okay." Di Jinxuan nodded, her face turning a bit red.
Just then, the owner brought over the beef noodle soup. Seeing the couple’s affectionate manner, he couldn’t help but grin widely and extended a thumbs up in praise, "Xuanxuan, your boyfriend is great."
Di Jinxuan felt sweetness in her heart.
Nangong Jin noticed that there was much more beef in Di Jinxuan’s bowl of noodle soup than in his, practically a full layer covering it, an exaggerated difference in treatment indeed.
Nangong Jin couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems this owner treats you very well."
Di Jinxuan smiled, "Bearded Uncle is quite nice."
"Yeah, eat up, don’t starve yourself." Nangong Jin said softly.
"Are we not waiting for Feng Rao?" Di Jinxuan asked, starting to feel a bit uneasy, "Wouldn’t it be a bit rude, since I was the one who asked her to join us for dinner?"
"No need to wait." Nangong Jin patted her head, "Xuanxuan, you need to understand that Feng Rao is just my subordinate, not even a friend. Being too polite with a subordinate might give her ideas. Before I fell for you, I was at least courteous to her, but now that I have you, naturally, I need to make her understand her place."
"Okay." Di Jinxuan nodded, actually agreeing with Nangong Jin’s reasoning.
"Let’s eat." She smiled obediently.
"Alright." Nangong Jin also wore a smile, handing her the chopsticks, "You eat first."
The two were sweet as sugar, picking up their chopsticks and digging in, and Nangong Jin also found the taste quite satisfactory; no wonder Di Jinxuan liked it.
In the restroom, Feng Rao really didn’t have the courage to go out, knowing that Nangong Jin deep down was actually a cold person. Despite appearing approachable, he was actually unattainably distant.
She smoked in the bathroom, one cigarette after another, until her lungs ached before she finally stopped.
