Summer Kiss

Chapter 29 Jiang Yuning, do you want to capture my heart?

Qin Susu had been holding back all the grievances she had endured today, but Lin Yao's intervention finally caused her to unleash her pent-up emotions.

"Lin Yao, you don't need to be so hypocritical. Your appearance disgusts me."

Lin Yao's hand trembled instantly, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Su Su, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Susu didn't even bother wiping her tears. She pushed Lin Yao away fiercely, "Get out of here. I don't want to see you."

Everyone in the office looked up in surprise. Lin Yao and Qin Susu had always had a good relationship, and seeing them making such a fuss, everyone present perked up their ears with great interest, ready to watch the drama unfold.

Qin Susu didn't want to continue making a fool of herself, so she only packed the things she absolutely had to take with her, and didn't plan to keep anything else.

Soon, an unread email appeared in the inboxes of all employees of Huangtian Group.

The email was thought-provoking. Qin Susu was dismissed after being notified to the entire company for leaking customer information, and all employees were urged to take this as a warning.

After Qin Susu left, Meng Shuyu quietly approached Jiang Yuning and whispered, "Sister, what exactly happened? Was all the clients you've lost recently Qin Susu's doing?"

Jiang Yuning nodded without elaborating. If she told Meng Shuyu about this, everyone in the office would probably be eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Shuyu, now is not the time to talk about this. I have something to do and I'm planning to ask the director for leave."

Qin Susu was fired, and all of Jiang Yuning's clients returned. Logically, she should have been happy, but Meng Shuyu didn't see how happy she was.

"What's your business?"

"A secret I can't tell you."

Meng Shuyu chuckled. Judging from Jiang Yuning's expression, she must have found a man behind her back. She thought that one day, she would run into them and catch them red-handed.

After asking her supervisor for leave, Jiang Yuning drove away from the company.

On her way to the art studio, Jiang Yuning turned into a shopping mall. Regardless of whether Fu Xicheng was the one who did it, she planned to buy him some gifts because he had helped her so much during this time.

Jiang Yuning walked into the mall and wandered around for a while, but found that she hadn't found a single gift she liked.

Suddenly, a young shop assistant enthusiastically pulled Jiang Yuning into a store.

"Beautiful lady, come in and take a look. I can give you a discount on anything you like."

When Jiang Yuning saw that the store sold men's products, she glanced around and spotted a black belt. The black belt was fresh and elegant, yet dignified.

She pointed to the black belt, had the shop assistant wrap it up, and paid for it.

Jiang Yuning drove to the art studio, carrying a handbag, and looked inside through the glass door.

Jiang Yuning saw Fu Xicheng standing in front of the easel, painting with great interest.

The man had a handsome and captivating face. He gazed at the canvas before him, his paintbrush dancing in the play of light and shadow, as if he were completely absorbed in painting.

As if thinking of something, the man chuckled softly. His smile was warm and sunny, giving people a sense of security.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Fu Xicheng was painting, while Jiang Yuning was watching him.

A bead of sweat rolled down her forehead. Jiang Yuning snapped out of her daze, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and gently pushed the door open to go inside.

Light footsteps came from the doorway. Fu Xicheng stopped painting, turned his head slightly, and was slightly surprised to see that it was Jiang Yuning.

In his memory, Jiang Yuning rarely came to the studio to find him.

Has she encountered some insurmountable difficulty again?
Jiang Yuning walked to Fu Xicheng's side and admired his unfinished painting. The style was unique, but it wasn't her type.

She waved the handbag in her hand with a smile, "Fu Xicheng, thank you for helping me collect evidence that Qin Susu harmed me. This is a gift for you." Fu Xicheng was stunned; he had never expected Jiang Yuning to give him a gift.

He took the bag and tentatively asked, "May I open it and take a look now?"

Jiang Yuning nodded, unsure if the gift suited Fu Xicheng's taste.

Fu Xicheng was completely stunned when he saw a black belt lying in the box.

Then, he laughed with pleasure, raised his eyes, and asked directly, "Jiang Yuning, do you know what it means when a woman gives a man a belt?"

Jiang Yuning truthfully said, "I looked around but couldn't find any gifts that would suit you. Just as I was about to give up, a shop assistant pulled me into her shop, and I immediately took a liking to this black belt."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Fu Xicheng's eyes. He picked up a clean paintbrush and used it to dot Jiang Yuning's chin.

"You gave me this belt, are you trying to capture my heart?"

Jiang Yuning was stunned for no reason. She had never thought of it in this way, let alone had such an idea.

She realized that Fu Xicheng had misunderstood her, and quickly offered a reasonable explanation.

"Fu Xicheng, you've misunderstood me. I just wanted to give you a gift."

Is it just a simple gift?
He felt that Jiang Yuning had some ulterior motives towards him.

Fu Xicheng smiled slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting, "Miss Jiang, you look so adorable."

Jiang Yuning realized she had made a mistake she shouldn't have, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

“Fu Xicheng, stop teasing me. I really didn’t know the meaning of giving a belt as a gift. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have given you such a gift.”

"I do not believe."

Fu Xicheng raised his wrist and tucked Jiang Yuning's stray hairs behind her ear, then pinched her chin.

"Even if you've never been in a relationship, you've still seen pigs run, haven't you? Miss Jiang, admit it, you've already fallen for me."

Jiang Yuning's heart was a little flustered. She didn't particularly reject Fu Xicheng's approach, but the actions he had just made seemed like something that only happened between boyfriends and girlfriends.

She took a step back, keeping a certain distance from him. Unable to win an argument with Fu Xicheng, Jiang Yuning had no choice but to change the subject.

"Fu Xicheng, I'd like to treat you to lunch today."

Fu Xicheng, of course, would not let it go so easily. His voice was clear and firm, "Don't change the subject. We haven't finished talking about what happened earlier."

Jiang Yuning was helpless ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Fu Xicheng, can you stop being so shameless? If you don't want the belt, you can give it back to me."

After saying that, Jiang Yuning reached out to snatch the belt from Fu Xicheng's hand, but how could Jiang Yuning possibly outmaneuver the 1.86-meter-tall man?

Just as she approached Fu Xicheng, he pulled Jiang Yuning into his arms. His voice was alluring, yet carried a hint of danger.

"Here's your belt back. Which man do you want to give it to now?"

My darlings, don't hoard articles; keeping up with the latest reading is really important.

I was eliminated in the first round of the competition, I really want to cry.
