Chapter 222: 165 Hugged until broken, wishing to silence Wanwan’s mouth? (2 more)
“Jiang Family’s second elder likes this Ms. Shen?”
As the thought crossed her mind, Tang Wan was startled by her own speculation. On the surface, there appeared to be nothing special between the two, they hadn’t even spoken much, yet she felt sothing was amiss in the atmosphere around them.
She had lived in the Jiang Family ho for so ti and had co to understand his temperant. Jiang Yanting wasn’t exactly the type to be a fanatic of TV dramas, to the point of abandoning work to audit their etings.
And it wasn’t likely he was there for her, so there could only be one other reason…
Did they know each other?
They didn’t seem close, though.
The room was amply heated, and next to her was an intense, scorching gaze that finally made Shen Zhixian unable to sit still. With her mobile phone in hand, she stood up and walked out, using the restroom as an excuse to get so fresh air.
The eting was long, and it wasn’t unusual for many to co and go during it.
Tang Wan had been taking notes with her head down, but when she saw Shen leave, she glanced at Jiang Yanting from the corner of her eye. To her surprise, he too stood up and walked out…
Things didn’t seem simple.
**
This was the Qi Group Headquarters, a vast place, and even though Jiang Yanting followed promptly, he couldn’t imdiately find the right direction.
After searching for five or six minutes, he finally found her in a secluded, empty corner.
With her back to him, one hand braced against the window, the other holding a bottled coffee, she seed much more relaxed. Dressed in a black turtleneck sweater dress, her legs were slim and unabashedly provocative in his presence.
He moved quietly, and she was seemingly deep in thought, not noticing his approach until he was close behind her.
Jiang Yanting looked down at her, his features softening, and he spoke in a low voice,
“Xianxian!”
Hearing that voice, Shen Zhixian froze completely.
It was only when she reflexively turned her head, she realized just how close they had beco, with her back nearly pressed against his chest.
If she moved back any further, she would be entirely enveloped in his embrace.
The heat from inside the building was considerable, and he wore just a shirt. For so reason, she felt as though she could sense the warmth emanating from his body, slowly seeping into her limbs and bones.
So intense, it felt like it could burn into her very skeleton.
That familiar, deep voice by her ear resonated through her eardrum and straight into the depths of her heart, surrounded by the crisp, clean scent of the man.
Her fingers trembled, nearly spilling her coffee, but Jiang Yanting was quicker to steady it, his fingers entwining with hers in a gesture that resembled an embrace from behind.
And his hands were burning hot.
“Why are you still as careless as before?” His voice carried a hint of laughter, tickling and tantalizing.
Shen Zhixian had already softened from the “Xianxian” he’d called, her heart a ss, her breath fogging up the glass with a white mist.
The warmth of the heating system made the space feel alluringly unsteady.
“When did you start drinking coffee? You didn’t like it before,” Jiang Yanting asked in a low voice.
“I’ve told you long ago, people change. Just like I used to like you, but later I also…”
Shen Zhixian could feel his fingers stiffen as he held her hand, but the next second, she felt another hand pass in front of her shoulder, nearly pulling her into his chest.
As he leaned in, the contact between their bodies, even separated by fabric, was a startling intimacy.
His movents were gentle as he drew her into his embrace, leaning close by her ear.
“It’s okay; I still like you.”
She felt a searing kiss on the side of her ear, her breath heavy, and her eyes imdiately reddened with a rush of emotion.
“After all, I was the one who pursued you in the past. Chasing you again is also fine.”
…
Tang Wan was purely concerned because the two had been gone for so long. Ms. Shen was beautiful and gentle; to her, that big brother was the image of a devil in her heart. He wouldn’t do anything to Ms. Shen, would he?
Curious and worried, after a few minutes, she also went out to check and unexpectedly witnessed this scene.
She even heard Jiang Yanting’s last words, striking her as if she’d been hit by lightning.
[I was the one who chased you before…]
What sort of relationship was this?
Caught off-guard, a sharp glare shot her way, and without reflex to dodge, she locked eyes directly with Jiang Yanting, freezing on the spot.
She scrambled back to the eting room, almost bumping into soone.
Ruan ngxi noticed her dazed expression and specifically asked if sothing had happened. Tang Wan just smiled, shook her head, and tried to calm her wildly pounding heart.
Sitting in her chair, her emotions roiled and took a long ti to settle.
