Summer Kiss

Chapter 211 Who is More Important
Jiang Yuning really didn't want to see Meng Shuyu looking so sullen, so she said, "I'll ask the director for leave now, and then I'll accompany you to Xie's Group to find Xie Linzhou and ask him directly for clarification."

Actually, there were some things Meng Shuyu didn't want Jiang Yuning to get involved in, since those were matters between her and Xie Linzhou.

Meng Shuyu refused, her eyes showing a hint of stubbornness. "Yu Ning, thank you, but I can handle it myself."

Jiang Yuning pursed her lips gently and said helplessly, "But I don't want to see you unhappy."

Meng Shuyu raised her hand and wiped away the tears on her face.

A resolute look appeared in her eyes. "Don't worry about me. I can go to the Xie Group to find him myself."

Jiang Yuning stood quietly in place, watching Meng Shuyu's figure gradually walk away. She sighed. If Meng Shuyu and Xie Linzhou had been honest with each other from the beginning, so many terrible things wouldn't have happened.

She snapped out of her daze and prepared to go to the company cafeteria for lunch.

At this moment, Fu Xicheng emerged from a hidden corner and softly called out, "Ningning."

This affectionate address made Jiang Yuning turn around instantly.

Her eyes were filled with surprise. "Fu Xicheng, what are you doing here?"

“I’ve been waiting for you to get off work and sending you WeChat messages, but you haven’t replied. I had no choice but to ask Lu Zhiqian to help me check the surveillance footage.”

Access the surveillance footage?

Won't this cause trouble for her boss again?

Is it really a good idea to have her boss help her every day?
"Fu Xicheng, it's better to try to solve things yourself first."

Fu Xicheng didn't care. In his opinion, with Lu Zhiqian's help, some things could progress even faster.

"Ningning, if there's such a special channel, why can't I use it?"

Jiang Yuning didn't speak. She looked up and changed the subject, "What should we eat for lunch?"

"There's a noodle shop nearby, how about we go get some noodles?"

Jiang Yuning checked the time. After finishing their meal, they would still have some time left, which would be perfect for them to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk.

She met with Fu Xicheng in a hurry yesterday, and there were some things she didn't get to say to him.

She nodded, "Okay."

Fu Xicheng took Jiang Yuning to a noodle shop. It was lunchtime, and the shop was filled with the faint aroma of noodles.

They each ordered a bowl of noodles and then a side of pickled vegetables.

They finished lunch in no time.

Once in the car, Fu Xicheng gracefully placed his hand on the steering wheel and said softly, "Ningning, I'm wearing a shirt today."

Jiang Yuning raised her eyes and saw Fu Xicheng's handsome face. A smile appeared on her lips. How much Fu Xicheng wanted her to examine his injuries.

It was the same yesterday, and it's the same today. It seems that if she doesn't personally take off his clothes to check his injuries, he'll probably keep repeating that phrase to her every day.

She said calmly, "I saw it. I'm not blind."

Fu Xicheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing a sense of certainty. He believed that Jiang Yuning was so intelligent that she would definitely understand his meaning.

Jiang Yuning's eyes flickered slightly, and she parted her red lips slightly, "Fu Xicheng, let's go to the underground parking lot. Find a secluded spot to park."

Fu Xicheng: "???"

It seems Jiang Yuning is planning to make a move on him from a more secluded location.

He couldn't tell whether he should be happy or be caught between laughter and tears.

Jiang Yuning stopped talking to Fu Xicheng and looked down at her phone. Soon, Fu Xicheng drove the car into the underground parking lot.

He parked the car precisely in the parking space, deftly opened the door, and went around to the back seat.

He got into the back seat and coughed twice, as if trying to get Jiang Yuning's attention.

But Jiang Yuning was still engrossed in the world of her phone, seemingly oblivious to Fu Xicheng's cough.

Her eyes were fixed on the phone screen, her fingers occasionally typing.

Fu Xicheng looked slightly helpless. He lifted Jiang Yuning's face and then tossed her phone aside.

He started complaining again.

"Ningning, in your heart, is your phone more important or me?"

Jiang Yuning noticed a slight change in Fu Xicheng's expression. She blinked and explained, "I was just chatting with Shuyu."

“What’s there to talk about? This is between her and Xie Linzhou, and they have to resolve it face to face. Don’t interfere.”

“I didn’t interfere,” Jiang Yuning retorted instinctively, pouting slightly. “I just wanted to comfort her.”

Fu Xicheng's eyes flickered slightly. Sometimes, even offering comfort might create conflict. In today's society, human nature is complex, and people's thoughts are hard to fathom.

Even if Meng Shuyu and Jiang Yuning have a good relationship, he still doesn't want Jiang Yuning to act as a peacemaker at this time.

“Ningning, sometimes the more you try to comfort her, the more likely it is to backfire. For example, if Xie Linzhou is heartbroken and asks me to drink with him, I will never waste my breath on him, I will just drink with him.”

Jiang Yuning looked at Fu Xicheng and said with a serious expression, "Is it possible that men and women handle things in completely different ways?"

Fu Xicheng played with Jiang Yuning's slender fingers, hoping that she would focus her attention on him.

He didn't want to trouble her with those messy things.

His words carried a hint of coquetry, "Why miss them? Just miss me."

Jiang Yuning chuckled lightly, a playful smile curving her lips. "What are you thinking? Are you thinking about me taking your clothes off right now?"

Fu Xicheng felt that Jiang Yuning was incredibly clever; her quirky and mischievous nature made him both love and hate her.

As his thoughts wandered, Jiang Yuning did as he wished, reaching out to unbutton Fu Xicheng's shirt.

When the wound on her chest came into view, a fleeting, almost imperceptible pity flashed in her eyes.

She reached out and gently touched the wound, but after a few seconds, she fastened Fu Xicheng's buttons again.

She leaned back in the back seat and let out a soft breath.

"Fu Xicheng, be careful in the future, and don't let yourself get hurt again." Jiang Yuning's words revealed her concern.

Fu Xicheng nodded hurriedly, "I understand."

Jiang Yuning felt a warm glow in her heart when she saw Fu Xicheng's earnest agreement, but she couldn't help but tease him.

"You always seem so carefree and quick to agree, it's really hard for me to feel at ease."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xicheng suddenly pulled Jiang Yuning towards him, his warm breath brushing against her ear, making her ear itch slightly.

"With you worrying about me so much, how could I dare to be careless? I don't want my girlfriend to be sad and cry for me again."

Jiang Yuning gently nudged Fu Xicheng, whose devilishly handsome face appeared even more dazzling at such close range.

She really didn't know how Fu Xicheng grew up; his genes were so good it was enviable.

"Fu Xicheng, you always know how to use sweet words to coax me."
