Chapter 197: Losing the Wedding Ring

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When she realized that her fingers were empty while she was working this afternoon, she thought to herself that she was in trouble. She remembered that she had washed her hands in the afternoon and quickly ran to the washroom in the cafeteria to look for it. However, the countertop was clean, and there was no trace of her diamond ring.

Jin Nian quickly asked the staff nearby if they had seen the ring.

At first glance, the ring looked quite ordinary, but there were the initials of Jin Nian and Lu An engraved on the inner side of the ring.

Jin Nian looked around, but she still couldn’t find the ring even as it was almost time to get off work.

She felt anxious. After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone and sent a message to Lu An, “Lu An, 1 accidentally lost the wedding ring you gave me…”

After sending the message, Jin Nian didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, she continued to search for the ring.

After searching several times without success, Jin Nian finally had to give up.

She took out her phone again and realized that the screen was empty. There was no reply from Lu An. She found it strange.

Lu An usually replied to her messages within seconds. Now, it had been a few minutes, and Lu An still hadn’t replied.

Was he angry?

Jin Nian unlocked her phone. When she saw the message interface, she felt her blood running in reverse.

The message was sent to the wrong place!

She had sent the message to the organization’s work group!

Almost half of the members of their organization were in this group chat. During the New Year, their leader, Lin Qianyu, had even distributed red envelopes in the group chat, and everyone was happily competing for them.

Other than during red envelope distribution, there was usually no one chatting in this group.

However, just a second before Jin Nian sent the wrong message, Lin Qianyu sent a notice to the group about the spring festival holiday arrangements.

After the notice, came Jin Nian’s accidental message, “Lu An, 1 accidentally lost the wedding ring you gave me…”

At this moment, no one had replied to Jin Nian’s message.

Jin Nian tried to recall it, but the system informed her that it couldn’t be recalled after a few minutes.

Help! What kind of user-unfriendly design was this?

Jin Nian felt like she was on the brink of madness.

Quitting time was approaching quickly. Jin Nian’s mind was in chaos, and she didn’t know what to do.

At that moment, He Ming sent a message to the group,”?”

Shortly after, Lin Qianyu also sent a message,”?”

Followed by Gao Qingming,”?”

Jin Nian looked at these messages and thought, “Can I just disappear now?”

However, Lin Qianyu had mentioned Jin Nian, “@Jin Nian, are you talking about our immediate superior, Lu An?”

Jin Nian felt like fireworks had exploded in her head. She didn’t know how to respond, and she didn’t dare to reply.

She could only feel her mind in turmoil, not knowing how to salvage the situation.

She wanted to send a message to Lu An, but she had just sent it to the wrong chat! So, she dared not send another message now, fearing that it might cause more trouble.

As she reached the elevator, she pressed the button for the eighteenth floor and rushed straight to Lu An’s office.

The door to Lu An’s office was not closed tightly, but Jin Nian didn’t notice. She pushed the door open and exclaimed, “Help, Lu An…”

Several high-ranking executives in the office who were in a discussion turned to look at Jin Nian in confusion.

Jin Nian’s voice grew softer as she uttered the last word, and she froze in place.

Lu An stood up from his single-seater sofa, his expression gentle. “What happened?”

The scene fell into an unusually silent state.

The company’s high-ranking executives all turned their gaze toward Lu An. It was evident that the relationship between the two was anything but ordinary.

Jin Nian took a quick step backward and firmly closed the door, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Trying to deceive herself was exactly what Jin Nian did.

Jin Nian thought with a hint of sorrow that she should have checked the almanac thoroughly before leaving her home.

Lu An didn’t know what had happened to Jin Nian, but seeing her flustered, he ignored the presence of the high-ranking executives and followed her.

“Jin Nian.” Lu An caught Jin Nian’s hand, concern evident on his face.

Jin Nian had mixed feelings. She was speechless, helpless, and on the verge of tears and laughter. Her cheeks were flushed because she had run too fast, and they were still slightly flushed.

She felt like a little mouse being tossed around in a hot oil pan, about to be fried to death.

Lu An was amused by Jin Nian’s behavior and asked with a playful expression, “What naughty thing did you do?”

“I just…” Jin Nian held Lu An’s hand and explained what had just happened.

Although Jin Nian was in a state of panic, she managed to narrate the story coherently. Finally, she stamped her foot in frustration. “What do you think I should do? Everyone in that group must have seen my message!”

Lu An understood the whole situation. It turned out that Jin Nian had made a mistake and inadvertently revealed her identity in front of everyone..
