Summer Kiss

Chapter 13 Miss Jiang, you've got some nerve!

Gu Yan wasn't afraid of being exposed. Since he and Director Lin had planned this together, they were naturally in the same boat.

"Director Lin, I did know Designer Jiang before. As you know, the apple of the eye of the president of Shijiu Group is my girlfriend, Gu Yan. Designer Jiang saw that I was handsome and tried to seduce me, but when that failed, she went and made a scene around Jiujiu. Do you think I could not teach her a lesson?"

Director Lin understood, as if he had figured something out. He didn't ask Gu Yan about her personal affairs and finalized the contract with her without hesitation.

Gu Yan left the office of the design director and found that Jiang Yuning had not left yet; she seemed to be waiting for him.

At this moment, he was in a good mood and walked towards Jiang Yuning at a leisurely pace.

Before he could even open his mouth, he said sarcastically, "Jiang Yuning, it must feel bad to have my cooperation snatched away. If you hadn't made me look bad that day, I wouldn't have gone this far. You can only blame yourself for all of this."

Jiang Yuning did not turn her head; at this moment, she did not want to see Gu Yan's ugly face.

She reiterated a fact.

“Gu Yan, that’s just your pride getting the better of you. We’ve only met a few times. Are you really that narrow-minded? Do you really enjoy arguing with a woman over such trivial matters? Your perspective is just too limited.”

"Also, I have deleted your contact information. If you encounter me in the future, please pretend you don't know me. Thank you."

Gu Yan's eyes were sinister, and his tone was icy as he spoke, "Jiang Yuning, you really think highly of yourself. My girlfriend is the apple of the eye of the president of Shijiu Group. What do you have to compare with her? Are you even worthy?"

Jiang Yuning didn't want to continue talking to Gu Yan. She said coldly, "You're absolutely right. How could you possibly be worthy of me?"

Enraged by her words, Gu Yan was about to teach Jiang Yuning a lesson when his phone rang.

Upon seeing the incoming call, Gu Yan's attitude changed drastically in the next second, and even his voice became gentle.

"Jiujiu, are you missing me? I just finished negotiating a deal and I'm heading back to the company right away."

A clear voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm waiting for you, baby."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yan's face immediately darkened. Watching Jiang Yuning's departing figure, he clenched his fists.

He's just out negotiating collaborations; if you can't reach him for a while, you have to call him.

If she weren't so clingy and controlling, he wouldn't have even considered finding another woman.

He had thought Jiang Yuning was a woman he could manipulate at will, but now it seems he had underestimated her abilities.

...

Jiang Yuning drove back to the company and reported the situation to her supervisor.

The supervisor didn't blame her, told her it wasn't her fault, and told her to go back to work without worry.

Jiang Yuning returned to her office, where there were only three or five people. Those who weren't there were probably out following up with clients.

Qin Susu secretly glanced at Jiang Yuning and noticed her dejected expression. She quietly turned her head, opened WeChat, and sent a message to someone on WeChat.

When she saw the message from the other party, she was noticeably happier.

It turns out that the reason Jiang Yuning was depressed was because she lost a business partnership.

It seems she was right when she walked up to her desk and glanced at her client's name last time.

The office was unusually quiet, with only the sounds of turning pages and using a mouse and keyboard.

Jiang Yuning sat in her office chair and found herself unable to concentrate on her work for a long time.

She thought about it, asked her supervisor for leave, and then left the company.

Jiang Yuning didn't know where to go, so she drove to a bustling commercial plaza and parked in a parking space.

She shielded her eyes from the sun with her hand and tried to walk towards the shade under the trees. After walking for a while, she stood under a tree, watching the endless stream of vehicles coming and going.

In August in Haicheng, the weather was still scorching hot, and Jiang Yuning's forehead was covered in sweat. In the stillness, a cool shadow quietly enveloped her head.

Jiang Yuning turned around and looked up along the white umbrella handle. A familiar face came into view; it was him again.

Fu Xicheng was wearing a white T-shirt and black casual pants, holding an iced drink in his hand, which was really out of character for him.

"Miss Jiang, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Yuning subconsciously didn't want to answer his question, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she couldn't control her inner thoughts.

"Come out for a walk to clear your head."

Fu Xicheng nodded slightly. Judging from his judgment, Jiang Yuning must have encountered something unpleasant, otherwise she wouldn't have come out for a walk at this time.

He took a white handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yuning.

"If Miss Jiang doesn't mind, you can come and sit in my shop for a while."

Jiang Yuning did not take the handkerchief, and Fu Xicheng remained in that position.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuning had no choice but to take it. She gently pressed it against her forehead a few times and then asked, "What shop?"

Fu Xicheng didn't speak easily, but only said three words: "Come with me."

Fu Xicheng's shop is not far away, only about 50 meters away.

Pushing open the transparent glass door, a cool breeze from the air conditioner immediately swept over Jiang Yuning's body, quickly dispelling the heat from her body.

Upon entering the store, Jiang Yuning was deeply attracted by the scene before her.

The spacious room is filled with all kinds of paintings, and the paintings hanging on the walls are colorful and exquisite.

Jiang Yuning observed her surroundings and came to a conclusion: "So Mr. Fu is a painter."

Fu Xicheng nodded, folded the sun umbrella in his hand, and placed it on the table to the side.

"I opened an art studio out of boredom, just for my own enjoyment."

Seeing beautiful things made Jiang Yuning, who was originally depressed, feel much more relaxed.

Upon seeing this, Fu Xicheng handed the cold drink he had just bought to Jiang Yuning.

"Miss Jiang, let me treat you to mango pomelo sago."

Jiang Yuning shook her head and declined Fu Xicheng's offer.

Fu Xicheng's handsome face was adorned with a smile. "It really is delicious. I just finished a cup and thought it was good, so I went and bought another one."

"Miss Jiang, I can tell you're in a bad mood. A sweet, iced drink will cheer you up a lot."

"And that's life, it has its sweet, sour, and bitter moments. If you think more positively, you'll find that life isn't as bad as you imagined."

Jiang Yuning hesitated greatly.

Fu Xicheng placed the mango pomelo sago in Jiang Yuning's hand. The coolness of the mango pomelo sago and the heat of Fu Xicheng's palm made Jiang Yuning shiver.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu."

Jiang Yuning inserted the straw, took a sip, and the sweet taste swept over her entire taste buds.

At this moment, Fu Xicheng chuckled softly, "Miss Jiang, you've got quite the nerve."

Jiang Yuning was completely bewildered: "..."
