Chapter 2004: Chapter 2005: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 7
In the restroom, Jiang Nuan held cold water in her hands and splashed her face, the icy faucet water calming her frantic heartbeat considerably.
She twisted off the faucet, pulled a piece of paper to dry the residual water on her face, and leaned against the sink, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.
The face in the mirror was pale, her expression distraught, not a hint of the composure she had previously imagined; it looked just like a soldier defeated before even going to battle, embarrassingly pathetic!
Jiang Nuan smiled bitterly, turned the faucet back on, and reached over to let the water wash over her hands.
Five years, yet it seemed like she hadn’t progressed at all. Whenever she saw him, her heart would race uncontrollably.
The growth she thought she had achieved was a joke in front of him!
He remained as noble and elegant as ever, while she was still a foolish loser in his presence.
Jiang Nuan’s mood was heavy, so much so that she kept daydreaming and didn’t notice someone had entered the women’s restroom.
When she finally noticed, her face changed slightly, and she immediately collected her confused and helpless expression, her pretty face slightly sinking as she turned around, "Why did you come in here?"
Realizing her tone wasn’t calm enough, she bit her lip and forced herself to cool down, speaking coldly to the man who followed her in, "This is the women’s restroom, Director Fu, you’ve entered the wrong place."
Fu Yi, hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall, silently watching her with a smile, "I didn’t make a mistake, I came in to find you."
"Find me?" Jiang Nuan was secretly annoyed, "We just met for the first time, what do you want with me? You oversee construction, not healthcare; we have no business with each other!"
She quickly grabbed her bag, unwilling to stay even a second longer, "I’m leaving, Director Fu, make yourself at home!"
Just as she finished speaking, her wrist was grabbed forcefully, and with a sudden pull, she was pulled into a firm embrace.
"Um." Jiang Nuan was caught completely off guard, her nose bumping directly, making it sting bitterly, eyes welling up with redness.
She pressed both hands against the man’s chest, furious, lifting her head to scold him sweetly, "Let go!"
"What if I don’t?"
Scoundrel, shameless rogue!
Jiang Nuan was so angry she could go mad but had to maintain her composure, raising her voice with a cold laugh, "We don’t even know each other, Director Fu. Why are you holding my hand? Don’t tell me you came all the way into the women’s restroom because it’s love at first sight..."
She originally intended to mock him, disgust him, but unexpectedly, Fu Yi narrowed his phoenix eyes and admitted frankly, "You’ve guessed it, it was love at first sight, Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Nuan was caught off guard, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at him, "..."
Fu Yi leaned in closer, pinching her chin with his left hand, the slightly cold touch of his fingers against her jaw causing Jiang Nuan to shiver as she sobered up quite a bit.
She immediately turned her head angrily, struggling again, cursing with fury, "You’re sick! Let me go!"
Not only did Fu Yi not let go, he took the opportunity to lift her and press her against the sink, raising her chin from above. The eyes behind his glasses were piercing, completely lacking the gentle refinement he outwardly portrayed, like a wolf tearing off its mask, revealing its true nature, "Hmm, I’m sick, you’re the cure, we were meant to be."
Jiang Nuan’s heart was in turmoil, forced by him into a corner; she could only hide from him in the cramped space. Raising her head, as if provoked to the point of breaking, she sarcastically tore into him, "Ha, what do you mean by this? Five years ago, Director Fu didn’t think I was worthy, and now after five years, you’ve changed your mind and want to rekindle the old flame?"
