Chapter 2005: Chapter 2006: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 8

The small woman in his arms had disheveled hair, her snow-white pretty face flushed crimson either from anger or embarrassment, as pink as cherry blossoms on snow, tempting to be picked. Her hair was casually pinned at the back of her head, and from the vigorous struggle just now, a few playful strands slid down her swan-like neck into the collar of her sweater. The dark hair and her slender neck seemed to be enticing someone...

Despite her anger, he felt a long-missed thrill, so strong that he didn’t even want to pretend anymore. Pressing her shoulders, he breathed heavily, "What if I said I wanted to?"

"Ha?"

Jiang Nuan was taken aback, completely unprepared.

Then, she suddenly felt a mixture of sadness and an urge to laugh.

Her eyes were sour and dry. After desperately suppressing the discomfort that surged in her chest, she tilted her head, laughing as she pushed him away, "Sorry, you might fancy me, but I no longer fancy you!"

Her smile was too forced. In front of him, even a fake smile seemed like a struggle, so she simply stopped smiling, returning to an expressionless face, coldly pushing away the man blocking her.

"Fu Yi, since you just pretended not to know me, let’s pretend not to know each other. It’s better for both of us. I don’t want to bother explaining to others why a promising young man is my ex-husband, and you probably don’t want to associate with a futureless, messy woman like me. This way, it’s easier for both of us. You don’t have to come here hoping to relive the past. Let’s not even talk about it being a nightmare at best in the past; even if it were a dream, after five years, the food would’ve turned rancid, let alone the feelings!"

After five years, the food would’ve turned rancid, let alone the feelings!

Fu Yi never knew she had such a sharp tongue, too caught up to even notice being pushed away by her.

Jiang Nuan felt a sourness in her heart but forced herself to suppress her emotions, pretending everything was fine as she was the first to withdraw. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first. Please let Director Fu know that I’m not feeling well and have gone back early. I’ll treat him to a meal to apologize another day."

She was initially determined to get through today’s dinner meeting.

But she overestimated her endurance.

Those who truly loved can’t pretend indifference. Perhaps only someone who never had feelings could casually bring up the past with her and even joke about love at first sight.

This joke was not funny at all!

Because she used to long so much for him to say he liked her, always clinging to him, serving him tea, peeling fruit, learning to cook, revolving around him every day just to spend more time with him when he got home from work. Back then, she was thick-skinned, thinking she could warm his heart. She often shamelessly asked if he liked her a little that day. Even when he brushed her off, she was happy, thinking at least he was willing to talk to her, willing to brush her off, proving she was still special to him. She had talked to him about love at first sight before, claiming she fell for him at first sight and asking about his impression of her. How did he answer back then? He seemed so busy that night, reluctantly taking a little time off from his official duties to tell her he would never fall for a woman at first sight and she should not have such hopes. He could offer her marriage but not the love she wanted.

Now when he says he fell for her at first sight, to her, it’s like a loud slap on the face, waking her up once again, reminding her of all that had happened before.

Jiang Nuan’s emotions, which were stirred into chaos by him, suddenly settled, her red lips slightly poised as she said, "Take your time, Director Fu. I’m leaving. Goodbye! Oh, no, we probably won’t meet again. Take care."
