Summer Kiss

Chapter 39 Holding him in my arms

Jiang Yuning raised her head and looked into Fu Xicheng's eyes. "Fu Xicheng, I'm willing to believe you."

Fu Xicheng visibly breathed a sigh of relief; he had been very worried that Jiang Yuning would break up with him.

He seemed to have forgotten the three rules he had agreed upon, and he pulled Jiang Yuning into his arms.

"One more thing, even if you encounter something in the future, don't overthink it. Ask about things face-to-face to avoid misunderstandings."

Jiang Yuning nodded and leaned against him, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

Suddenly, she realized something and quickly pushed Fu Xicheng away.

"Fu Xicheng, you've forgotten what I said before again."

Fu Xicheng smiled slightly. "How could I dare forget? I knew it was a deliberate mistake. Jiang Yuning, weren't you enjoying it just now?"

Jiang Yuning got angry, jumped up and pinched his little ear until it turned red, "Nonsense, you're the one who's enjoying it."

"Yes, yes, my girlfriend is right. It's my fault. I was the one enjoying myself."

Jiang Yuning tossed her high ponytail with a haughty air, looking rather smug. "I love hearing that."

Hiding in the shadows, Meng Shuyu desperately covered her mouth. Leaning against the wall, she secretly smiled and peeked out to see if they would make any further moves.

Standing next to Meng Shuyu, Xie Linzhou couldn't help but roll his eyes. This idiot, all she did was chuckle and punch him. If Fu Xicheng hadn't been standing outside, he would have already pinched her.

Meng Shuyu secretly observed the two people outside.

Fu Xicheng noticed that Jiang Yuning seemed to be in a good mood, so he deliberately wanted to tease her.

"I've said all the things my girlfriend likes to hear, doesn't she plan to give me a little reward?"

Jiang Yuning raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked at the man beside her. There was no way he could ask her for a reward.

"Fu Xicheng".

Jiang Yuning called his name softly, mercilessly exposing his little scheme.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You can't hide your little schemes from me."

What bad intentions could Fu Xicheng have? He just wanted to be alone with Jiang Yuning.

He suppressed a smile. "Jiang Yuning, if you can guess what I'm thinking, I'll transfer 1 yuan to you right now."

Jiang Yuning's eyes lit up, and she blinked. "Isn't what you really want to do is hold my hand and kiss me?"

Fu Xicheng was speechless for a moment. He found it hard to believe that Jiang Yuning had said such blatant words.

He asked softly, "Tell me the truth, who did you learn these new words from?"

Without even thinking, Jiang Yuning blurted out a name, "Meng Shuyu."

Meng Shuyu hid in the bathroom, rubbing her numb legs. When she heard Jiang Yuning suddenly mention her name, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Suddenly, Meng Shuyu darted out of the bathroom, hands on her slender waist, and questioned, "Jiang Yuning, you framed me! This is clearly what you were thinking!"

What is Meng Shuyu doing here?

Jiang Yuning was so shocked she couldn't utter a word. Had Meng Shuyu overheard her entire conversation with Fu Xicheng?

Oh no, her perfect image is gone in an instant!
Now she was so embarrassed she just wanted to disappear into the ground; she was too ashamed to face anyone.

Jiang Yuning's eyes flickered slightly. "Fu Xicheng, I still have work to do. I'll leave now."

She had just run out of the restroom when she saw Assistant Lin and her boss standing by the wall, and her mind went blank for a moment.

She only has herself to blame; walls have ears, and she didn't talk to Fu Xicheng in a suitable place.

Jiang Yuning lowered her head guiltily, quickly walked to the elevator, and immediately slipped inside. She came out of the elevator and bumped into the design department director.

"Xiao Jiang, has everything been resolved?"

Jiang Yuning nodded; she just wanted to be alone and quiet right now.

She returned to her desk and gulped down a large glass of water.

Before she could even sit down properly, Lin Yao kicked over her chair.

She turned her head and pointed at Jiang Yuning menacingly, "Jiang Yuning, are you really that nosy? The list of invitees clearly belongs to me, are you really willing to help Meng Shuyu?"

Jiang Yuning's eyes turned cold. "The director personally promised to give the spot to Meng Shuyu, but the list actually has your name, Lin Yao, on it."

“I think you know better than I do what happened in between. Since this matter started because of me, I have a responsibility to resolve it.”

Lin Yao was trembling with anger. She raised her voice several decibels and said, "You drove Su Su away first, and now you want to drive me away too?"

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, all the colleagues in the office put down their work and watched the scene nervously.

Jiang Yuning calmly responded, "Lin Yao, you don't need to be so aggressive. If you feel this is unfair, you can go to the president to report it. I will definitely not stop you."

Lin Yao's face turned pale. She realized her mistake, but she still didn't want to admit it.

Her angry eyes were almost spitting fire. "Jiang Yuning, you're bullying me too much."

"Did I bully you? From the very beginning, you were the one causing trouble."

At this moment, Meng Shuyu walked into the office and saw the tense atmosphere between Lin Yao and Jiang Yuning. She immediately understood what had happened.

Meng Shuyu spoke without any mercy, "Lin Yao, don't think I don't know what means you used to get this spot. Didn't you agree to the CFO's request to secretly sabotage Jiang Yuning?"

“I heard your entire conversation with the CFO, and I have a recording of it. If you want to stay in the design department, don’t cause any trouble.”

Lin Yao gritted her teeth; Meng Shuyu's move completely stunned her.

She can't confront them head-on now, otherwise she'll be the one who suffers.

She straightened her office chair without saying a word.

……

The air in the top-floor office was filled with a rich aroma of tea.

Fu Xicheng leaned back lazily on the sofa, casually sipping a cup of tea. His unhurried movements revealed an indescribable elegance.

"Lu Zhiqian, do you and Xie Linzhou both enjoy eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"

The sofa in the office was comfortable and soft, and Xie Linzhou leaned against it as if he had no bones.

"It wasn't that I wanted to eavesdrop; it was just that you and Miss Jiang's arrival conveniently trapped Meng Shuyu and me in the restroom."

"Even if the two of us wanted to get out, we couldn't. How can you blame me for that?"

Fu Xicheng turned his gaze to Lu Zhiqian, who touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.

"I'm here to see Xie Linzhou. I want to know what he did to my employees?"

Xie Linzhou got angry just talking about it, and he slammed his fist on the sofa.

"Why don't you tell me what she did to me? Lu Zhiqian, are you siding with your employee or with me?"

The data is really bad, the retest failed, and there won't be any more recommendations from now on.

The editor suggested cutting the book, but I still want to keep writing, even though I might not even make enough to cover the cover.
