Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 53.053. She finally couldn't hold back and came to you to apologize?

Jiang Jixu walked towards the gate.

Ji Yanci snapped out of his daze, staring at the woman's retreating figure, his brow furrowing slightly: "Wait—"

The girl showed no sign of stopping.

Ji Yanci's tongue pressed against his back teeth amused him, but his body moved involuntarily, and he quickly stepped forward, wanting to reach out and grab her wrist.

But Jiang Jixu dodged it.

The man stared at his empty hand, his eyes darkening. After a long while, he laughed in extreme anger.

"Well done, Jiang Xiaoxu. You used to be as gentle as a clay idol, but now you've got quite a temper."

He raised his hand to block the door, "Such a big contrast, people who don't know better would think this body has been replaced with a new one."

Jiang Jixu twitched his lips.

Did she have a different soul, or did Ji Yanci never really know the real her?

"The matter I wanted to discuss has been resolved, so I won't delay Mr. Ji's work any longer." The girl lowered her eyes, her tone no longer as sharp and pointed as before.

But this soft and weak appearance only fueled Ji Yanci's anger.

He stared at her intently for a few seconds.

His dark eyes seemed to hold a swirling vortex.

"Jiang Jixu, are you serious?"

The girl looked up at him and said, "Mm."

As if afraid he wouldn't understand, she added another sentence.

"I take everything seriously."

Ji Yanci instantly understood the meaning of those words.

Everything was serious, including the breakup text message that night and the matter of breaking off the engagement.

The man's face gradually darkened.

The two faced off for several seconds.

The heavy atmosphere was broken by a sudden knock on the door.

Assistant Li's voice came from outside: "President Ji, Manager Lin is back."

Ji Yanci withdrew his hand from the door, his emotions completely vanished, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed back into the dashing, elegant, and noble young master of Beijing's elite circles.

"Miss Jiang, I heard you. I have other things to attend to, so I won't see you off."

The words were polite but distant.

They've known each other since they were toddlers.

This was the first time we had spoken to each other in such an unfamiliar tone.

Jiang Jixu pursed his lips but didn't say anything. He pressed the handle, turned around, and left.

Seeing this, Assistant Li outside the door was somewhat surprised: "Miss Jiang, are you leaving? Why don't you chat with President Ji for a bit longer?"

He kept winking at the girl, signaling her to seize the opportunity.

Jiang Jixu seemed not to hear him, and simply gave him a polite and gentle smile.

Then he strode away.

Without hesitation.

A hint of surprise flashed in Assistant Li's eyes.

What... happened?
"Are you very free?"

A chilling sound came from behind him, and Assistant Li couldn't help but shiver. He turned around and met Ji Yanci's gloomy eyes.

"Mr. Ji."

Where is Lin Feng?

Ji Yanci spoke in a calm tone, as if his earlier bad mood was just his imagination.

Assistant Li swallowed hard and quickly said, "Go, we're on the elevator, we'll be there soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Feng's eloquent voice came over.

"I just saw Jiang Jixu. What, did she finally give in and come to you to apologize?"

Assistant Li's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Ji Yanci and, sure enough, saw the cold smile on his lips.

He frantically winked at Lin Feng.

Stop talking! Stop talking! Can't you see this person's face is as black as an iron pot?!

Lin Feng, however, seemed completely oblivious, and instead clicked his tongue lightly: "Li Cheng, are you seeing things?"

"Li Cheng."

Ji Yanci's cool voice rang in his ears. Assistant Li lowered his head, focusing on his inner thoughts.

Lin Feng was still flirting with the bombshell: "What's wrong, Ci-ge? Could it be that Jiang Jixu isn't here to apologize to you?"

Ji Yanci lazily looked up at him, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Lin Feng, I see you've been quite free lately."

Lin Feng was stunned for two seconds.

Is he free?

The studios in the university town are practically draining him dry!

"You'll be in charge of coordinating the company's new projects," Ji Yanci said calmly.

That way I won't be idle all day with nothing to do.

Lin Feng's face immediately fell: "No way, Brother Ci?! I'm already working non-stop, and with those projects on top of that, am I even going to get any sleep?!"

Ji Yanci turned around and went straight into his office.

Lin Feng then noticed the man's unusual behavior, pulled Assistant Li aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with him? Did he have a fight with Jiang Jixu?"

The man immediately denied these words as soon as they were spoken.

"No way, Jiang Jixu's personality is such that she could argue with him..."

Even if Ji Yanci wanted to argue, Jiang Jixu would only tolerate it.

Or it would be a Cold War.

But the cold war will last at most a day, and Jiang Jixu will take the initiative to come back and make peace.

Over the years, Lin Feng has become accustomed to the way the two of them get along.

This was the first time he had ever seen Ji Yanci so angry.

Li Cheng's expression was complicated. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke up: "Young Master Lin, I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I feel that Miss Jiang is a little different from before."

Lin Feng was taken aback upon hearing this.

Li Cheng had already taken out his tablet, pulled up a video, and handed it to him.

Lin Feng took it: "What is this?"

Li Cheng lowered his voice: "When Miss Jiang came to see President Ji this morning, she was stopped by the receptionist downstairs, and then something happened."

The man was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"Was she blocked by the receptionist?"

Assistant Li nodded.

“That receptionist is new. She’s never seen Miss Jiang before, but…” He paused, “but as far as I know, Miss Jiang always comes to Ji’s as a partner, so very few people in the company know that she is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.”

Aside from them, no one else knew that she was Ji Yanci's fiancée.

Lin Feng scoffed: "This isn't your fault, it's Jiang Jixu's own bad habit."

Unlike them, who always openly reveal their identities wherever they go.

Jiang Jixu seems to particularly enjoy playing the "pretending to be weak while actually being strong" card, and rarely mentions that she is the daughter of the Jiang family in public.

In Lin Feng's view, this was just asking for trouble.

Jiang Jixu was unwilling to speak up when he could have simply revealed his identity and resolved the matter with a single sentence. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?
Assistant Li pursed his lips, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Lin Feng slid the video progress bar, and when he saw the woman pull out a utility knife and rush towards Jiang Jixu, his casual expression gradually turned serious.

But when he saw Jiang Jixu turn around and knock the other person down, his seriousness vanished, leaving only astonishment and bewilderment.

His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but go back and watch it again.

Then he looked up in a daze.

"This...is this Jiang Jixu? You didn't find some special effects to fool me, did you?"

It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but rather that the whole thing was just too outrageous.

How could Jiang Jixu have such a fast reaction speed and such good skills?
Neither he nor Ji Yanci necessarily have it!

Assistant Li said seriously, "Young Master Lin, be careful what you say. I don't want to lose my job because of one sentence from you."

Lin Feng took a breath, seemingly in a daze.

"Okay, I understand."

He was about to walk inside with his tablet in hand, but then, as if remembering something, he turned and asked:

Who is the person using the knife in the video?
