“Xia Xia,” the man shouted.

Yan Xia froze. It was Jiang Huai’s voice.

Jiang Huai was serious and rigorous in his work. He handled problems thoroughly and more importantly, he had a face that no one could reject! In her heart, Yan Xia admired and had a good impression of President Jiang.

The way he called her ‘Xia Xia’ made her forget to resist. In a moment, she was brought into the room and pressed onto the bed.

When Yan Xia tried to resist, she could not break free no matter what.

“Xia Xia.”

One after another, the letters echoed in Yan Xia’s ears.

Yan Xia slowly returned to reality. His words back then were filled with sarcasm.

At that time, she really thought that he was calling her, Yan Xia!

It turned out to be Zhang Ying.

Yan Xia’s tears fell from her eyes. She had been wrong from the start. She had misunderstood and thought that Jiang Huai might have feelings for her.

It was truly laughable!

Her heart ached to the point of numbness, but she could not remember anything. She just sat there in a daze.

She was woken up by a WeChat notification.

Zhang Ying had sent it over. [Director Yan, please send me the work arrangements as soon as possible.]

Yan Xia forced herself to focus on her work. Then, she adjusted her chair and sat down in front of her desk.

Just as she was about to do her work, she thought of Zhang Ying in her long dress, sitting on her desk enchantingly. She felt disgusted and picked up a cloth to wipe it clean.

However, some things could be wiped clean with a cloth, but some pain could not be smoothed away with a cloth.

That night, Yan Xia was surprised to see Jiang Huai at home.

The dishes were laid out on the table, and the butler was about to change his clothes and go back.

Jiang Huai was very particular about privacy. He didn’t like to be disturbed in his private life. This was the reason why he left the Jiang family and lived alone after he got married.

Therefore, the housekeeper would always come to clean the house during the day when there was no one around. He would leave after finishing the meal and rest on the weekends.

The butler greeted Yan Xia.

“Madam, you’re back. I’ll be going back now that the meal is ready.”

Yan Xia nodded and watched the butler leave.

She changed her shoes and walked upstairs without even looking at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai frowned. What was wrong with this woman? how dare she ignore him today?

“Stop there,” Jiang Huai said.

Yan Xia stopped but did not turn around. “What’s up?”

Jiang Huai was in a good mood and had asked the butler to prepare a table of food, but he was annoyed by Yan Xia’s attitude.

“Do you think you can disobey my orders just because you went to Sunny?”

Yan Xia was not in the mood to deal with him. She said nonchalantly, “Do you have any orders, President Jiang? But it’s after work, so I don’t have any obligation to do so.”

Pa!

Before she could finish, the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground interrupted her.

Then came the sound of someone walking quickly.

Yan Xia knew it was Jiang Huai without turning around.

Usually, Yan Xia would be afraid of his sudden anger, but now she was indifferent.

Jiang Huai quickly walked behind her and grabbed her swollen wrist. He pulled hard, trying to make her turn around to face him.

The moment he held her hand, Jiang Huai felt that something was wrong. Her wrist was twice as thick as usual.

Jiang Huai wanted to check her wrist, but Yan Xia lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Jiang Huai instinctively protected her. Yan Xia fell into Jiang Huai’s arms and their lips touched.

The two of them were shocked.

Jiang Huai wrapped his arms around her thin shoulders. It had been a few days since they last met, and he was even more tempted to touch her body. He wanted to taste the sweetness of Yan Xia’s lips.

He did not expect Yan Xia to suddenly be so fierce and try to break free.

Her wrist was clearly hurting badly and even her face was contorted, but she still pushed Jiang Huai away with all her might and fell on her butt on the stairs.

“Don’t touch me!” Yan Xia shouted. She didn’t know if it was because of the pain or because of the grievance, but her tears fell.

Jiang Huai was stunned. Time seemed to have stopped. He could almost hear Yan Xia’s tears falling to the ground.

This was the first time Yan Xia had shown such obvious rejection of him.
