Summer Kiss

Chapter 116 Missing Him
Jiang Yuning followed Director Wang out of the office.

In the conference room, Director Wang looked at Jiang Yuning standing beside him.

He said earnestly, "Xiao Jiang, sometimes you have to learn to turn a blind eye. You're likely to offend your colleagues by doing this."

“Look at you, two people have already left our design department in the last two months, Qin Susu and Lin Yao. Their resignations are more or less related to you.”

“Xiao Jiang, you’ve been a long-time employee of the company for a while now. You should learn from designers Wang and Song in the office. They’ve been with the company for so many years, and I’ve never seen them have any conflicts with their colleagues.”

Although Jiang Yuning understood what the director meant, she felt that some things should be said, otherwise she would be the one to suffer.

"Director, Qin Susu and Lin Yao's resignations are indeed related to me, but they can't be blamed on me. I also want to get along with them peacefully..."

Director Wang seemed very impatient. Why couldn't Jiang Yuning learn to be more flexible when she was being so petty?

"Alright, let's leave it at that. If you're going to pursue this further, I'll have to assign this client to someone else."

Jiang Yuning felt that the director was being unreasonable, and she thought that if she continued to argue with him, he would definitely lose his temper in public.

She lowered her head and said, "Director, I would like to ask for a day off."

Director Wang was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Yuning's performance today. Although he usually favored her, he was extremely disappointed in her today.

"I've approved this leave. Go home today, calm down, and think carefully about where you went wrong."

Jiang Yuning felt she hadn't done anything wrong. Seeing the director's gloomy face, she ultimately didn't say another word.

As soon as Jiang Yuning returned to her office, Gu Xinghe immediately stood up and tentatively asked, "Yuning, did the director scold you just now?"

Jiang Yuning ignored Gu Xinghe; she didn't want to say a word to someone like that.

She shut down her computer, grabbed her bag, and left the office.

She had just reached the elevator when she bumped into Meng Shuyu, who was coming out of the elevator.

Meng Shuyu asked, "Yu Ning, are you going out to meet a client?"

For some reason, Jiang Yuning didn't want to tell Meng Shuyu about her troubles. She suddenly missed Fu Xicheng and desperately wanted him to be by her side right now.

She said in a calm tone, "I've taken leave. You go to work."

Seeing that Jiang Yuning looked terrible, Meng Shuyu lowered her head and walked into the elevator.

She had no idea what had happened in the office that made her so upset.

Meng Shuyu walked into the office and found that the atmosphere there was extremely tense.

No one ate snacks, and no one spoke; they all kept their heads down, busy with their own tasks.

……

Jiang Yuning drove to Fu Xicheng's studio. The studio door was closed. She sat on the steps, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

She closed her eyes and quietly savored the tranquility.

Suddenly, the tranquility was broken by the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.

Jiang Yuning opened her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and saw Fu Xicheng standing in front of her.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and had a gentle smile on his face.

Jiang Yuning could hardly believe that Fu Xicheng had returned so quickly.

She rubbed her eyes, a hint of surprise in them. "Fu Xicheng, you're back?"

Fu Xicheng stared at Jiang Yuning, then slightly raised his eyelids. "Yes, I'm back."

Jiang Yuning opened her arms, making a hugging gesture.

Her voice carried a hint of coquetry, "Fu Xicheng, hug me." Fu Xicheng took a few steps forward and pulled Jiang Yuning into his arms.

Jiang Yuning took the initiative to hook her arms around his neck and kiss his lips.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling the warmth emanating from him.

"Fu Xicheng, I miss you so much."

Fu Xicheng's cold gaze fell on Jiang Yuning. He could tell that Jiang Yuning must have something on her mind. After all, someone as hardworking as her would not skip work for no reason.

Fu Xicheng raised an eyebrow, deliberately drawing out his words, "We've only been apart for a day, and you already miss me? How much do you miss me?"

Jiang Yuning put her hands on Fu Xicheng's shoulders; being with him made her feel much happier.

"I miss you so much I want to kiss you, Fu Xicheng, you must have cast a spell on me."

Fu Xicheng didn't know how long Jiang Yuning had been sitting in front of the studio. He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, took out a small remote control, and the studio's roller shutter door slowly rose.

He walked into the studio and immediately turned on the air conditioner.

A gentle breeze from the air conditioner wafted by, carrying a hint of coolness.

Jiang Yuning pressed herself tightly against Fu Xicheng's body, staring at him, her tone calm as ever, "Fu Xicheng, let's kiss."

kiss?

Fu Xicheng had rarely seen Jiang Yuning so proactive, and he guessed that she must have encountered some troubles.

He bent down slightly, put his arms around Jiang Yuning, and carried her into the art studio.

Fu Xicheng used a remote control to close the roller shutter door of the studio, and then entered his secret base.

He placed Jiang Yuning on the bed and thoughtfully took off her shoes.

After doing all that, Fu Xicheng lay on the bed, side by side with Jiang Yuning.

He turned his head and said gently, "Ningning, you can tell me what's wrong now. It'll be hard to keep it inside."

Jiang Yuning looked at his face, her eyes gradually reddening. She subconsciously overdid it, not wanting Fu Xicheng to see her tears.

Fu Xicheng straightened up and reached out to turn Jiang Yuning back to her original position.

He gently wiped the corner of her eye with his long, slender fingers, his voice becoming even gentler, "Why are you crying? Tell me what's wrong, and your boyfriend will stand up for you."

Jiang Yuning felt a lump in her throat, so she lowered her head and clasped her hands together in front of her chest.

Fu Xicheng felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw Jiang Yuning crying. He lifted her face and kissed away her tears.

"You can cry it out first, as long as you don't bottle it up inside, you can vent however you want."

Jiang Yuning suddenly raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, "Can I vent on you too?"

Fu Xicheng nodded. It was perhaps an honor for him that his girlfriend used him as a punching bag when she was angry.

He moved closer to her. "Take it all out however you want?"

Jiang Yuning grabbed Fu Xicheng's clothes and wiped away her tears. Her eyes were red as she reached out to take off his shirt.

Fu Xicheng looked bewildered and helplessly pressed down on her hand.

"Weren't you just looking to vent? Why are you starting to take my clothes off?"

Jiang Yuning gripped Fu Xicheng's clothes tightly, blinking rapidly, and said pitifully, "Fu Xicheng, I want to play with you."

She blinked her innocent-looking big eyes at the man beside her, her expression turning tense. "Can I do this?"
