While Jiang Mian was busy looking at the mirror while cheering herself up, she didn’t know someone was already hating her to the bone.
As soon as I go out later, I will break up with Shen Shiyan!
*
As Shen Shiyan’s secretary, He Lai knew about his diet and ordered everything he liked to eat.
“Mr. Shen, do we need to invite Miss Jiang…” she clenched her fist and paused for a moment to use polite words, “…out of the room?”
It was the first time that a woman spent the night in Shen Shiyan’s room which made her very jealous.
He Lai endured and held herself back from saying something like sending someone to drag Jiang Mian out.
“No need!”
“But Miss Jiang, she…”
Before He Lai could finish her words, he was interrupted by Shen Shiyan: “When have I ever allowed you to mind my business?”
Right after the last word was said, a sharp gaze landed on her face like a knife blade causing cold sweat on He Lai’s back and making her lose confidence.
“I didn’t.” He Lai lowered her head and denied in a low voice.
“Get out!”
Thinking that she was by his side for so many years and knows him best, she raised her eyes to look at the man’s obsidian eyes that emitted a cold gaze and wanted to say her defense but the words were stuck in her throat unable to make a sound.
She knows that Shen Shiyan was already angry now and if she does not obey and leaves, she’s afraid that she might not be able to keep her position right now.
He Lai had no choice but to grit her teeth and say yes, but feeling more unwilling inside.
Before leaving, she glanced back at the man.
Shen Shiyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that has a foggy surface from the water droplets due to the drizzle outside, reflecting the man’s sharp jawline.
This man was good-looking but also cold and heartless at the same time, he was not even willing to give her a glance back.
However, this does not stop He Lai from looking at him admiringly, but since she could not get the man’s gaze back, she could only leave reluctantly.
After Jiang Mian changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom, her clear and bright eyes turned around, searching for Shen Shiyan in the room.
A moment later, her eyes fell fixedly on the broad figure in the kitchen.
Shen Shiyan came out with a cup of hot water in his hand, Jiang Mian hurriedly went forward: “Mr. Shen, I have something to tell to you!”
Shen Shiyan’s condition seemed to be recurring, he put a pill in his mouth in front of Jiang Mian, then it rolled along his Adam’s apple before he asked. “What’s the matter?”
Jiang Mian was about to speak when the doorbell rang.
It was the ordered meal that arrived.
Shen Shiyan opened the door and asked the waiter to push the food cart in.
The waiter quickly put the dishes on the table before saying “Enjoy your meal” and left with a smile on his face.
Shen Shiyan sits down when he saw her still standing still.
“Not eating?”
She has been hungry for a while now and smelling the delicious aroma of the food, was tempting her to eat all of it in one go.
Jiang Mian’s eyes were staring straight at the delicious food, if she mentioned the matter of breaking up right now, she would definitely not be able to eat such delicious food.
As a foodie, one has to bow to the food.
It’s better to fill one’s stomach first before mentioning the matter about break up.
After making up her mind, Jiang Mian let out an ooh, pulled out the chair, and sat next to Shen Shiyan while looking at the table full of dishes and couldn’t help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva before she looked up at the man: “Isn’t this a little too much? I can’t eat it all by myself!”
Even the two of them couldn’t finish this table full of dishes.
Shen Shiyan raised his gaze when he heard her words and looked at her with his cold obsidian eyes, “Who said you’re going to eat alone?”
Jiang Mian suspiciously let out an “eh”, as she maliciously wondered if Shen Shiyan had changed his mind, and wanted her to just stand aside and only be allowed to watch and not eat?
Shen Shiyan picked up the chopsticks and began to enjoy them in a slow and orderly manner.
Since the hero didn’t talk, Jiang Mian didn’t dare to move her chopsticks but seeing that he had eaten several dishes in succession, she wanted to stick her eyes to his chopsticks.
Every dish looks delicious!
Perhaps noticing her wolf-like gaze, Shen Shiyan finally “saw” that there was still her sitting next to him, he mercifully said, “Don’t you want to eat?”
His dark, sunken eyes seem to be saying eat or get out!
“Eat, eat!”
Jiang Mian answered repeatedly as she hurriedly picked up chopsticks, and put the long-coveted meatballs into her mouth.
I’ve been hungry all day, this is really delicious.
Shen Shiyan didn’t have much appetite as he hadn’t recovered from the flu yet, so after a few bites, he was about to put down his chopsticks.
His eyes suddenly fell on the little woman beside him, the bright warm light in the dining shone on her, lining her small face even smaller, and a hint of redness the end of her eyes could still be seen after crying.
Jiang Mian ate with gusto, and almost most of the food fell into her stomach.
She didn’t notice that a certain man was staring at her with a slight smile in his eyes, and the lines on his face gradually softened.
She eats like a little hamster with bulging cheeks as if someone wants to grab food from her.
Jiang Mian looked like she was feasting on a sumptuous banquet that Shen Shiyan couldn’t help but be influenced and picked up his chopsticks again to continue eating few more dishes.
After most of the food fell into her mouth and her stomach bulging, Jiang Mian commented to herself that she couldn’t finished eating everything.
“Have you had enough?” Shen Shiyan asked.
Jiang Mian wiped her mouth and nodded with a satisfied face, “This is really too delicious!”
As a foodie, she really wants to eat such delicious food every day!
Jiang Mian rub her bulging belly as she stood up to digest the food.
Shen Shiyan picked up a clean towel and wiped his slender fingers with a graceful posture.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Mian standing at his side, blocking most of the lights, and remembered something, he asked, “What did you want to tell me just now?”
Jiang Mian uttered a daze “ah”, and only after meeting the man’s eyes that she immediately thought of something serious.
She slapped her head as she criticized herself for forgetting something important for the sake of eating.
Jiang Mian softened her voice, and traces of grievance could be heard from it.
“Mr. Shen…”
“En.”
Shen Shiyan responded as the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a very obvious sneer emerged from the bottom of his eyes.
Was this pitiful and lovely role of hers not enough, and now she wants to make an inch?
Does she want money, a house, or was it not money but his love and she wanted him to marry her?
He didn’t know how many times he had heard these words, but these women were really greedy. Once they were given an inch, they would reveal their true colors.
Though he was expecting Jiang Mian to say something different from those women, otherwise her fate would be the same as those women.
On the other hand, Jiang Mian repeated her sutra: if you want to save your life, you have to stay away from the hero and heroine, the farther the better.
With this in thought, Jiang Mian pretended not to see Shen Shiyan’s eyes and contemplated for a while before she took a deep breath and said seriously: “Mr. Shen, I regret it, and I think I am not worthy…” Not worthy of you, we should part without hard feelings or you can say that you dump me. I am just a substitute anyway, you might as well go find the real thing…
Before she could even say her prepared script she was struck by a burst of colic pain without any warning. Jiang Mian could only stretch out her hand to cover her chest, feeling that the pain was so intense that she was unable to breathe.
Her five slender fingers were gripping hard on her chest as Jiang Mian’s face instantly pale up, and losing the strength in her legs and couldn’t stand up.
Fortunately, Shen Shiyan was around and quickly grabbed her wrist, pulling the person into his arms.
Jiang Mian’s body was half limp as she sat on the man’s lap, she was in so much pain that she didn’t have the strength to grab the man’s clothes to support herself.
One of the man’s arms was tightly wrapped around her waist which prevented her from sliding down.
With a pale face, Jiang Mian was panting with difficulty as her chest rapidly rose up and down.
The man frowned slightly, thinking she was indeed different from those women.
Those women only dared to talk, but she was different, pretending to fall down and sit in his arms.
It was because he underestimated her, this woman really had some tricks under her sleeve but to think she thought she could seduce him with her beauty!
The two were very close that Shen Shiyan could clearly see her delicate jade-like side profile as soon as his eyes fell on her, down to her swan-like neck where the button on the collar was open, revealing a dazzling white skin.
Remembering the image he saw after opening his eyes this morning, his breathing inevitably becomes erratic and the air he breathes in become even hotter.
Shen Shiyan closed his eyes and withdrew his gaze from that tempting sight.
Gritting his teeth, he thought to himself, this woman has done it on purpose!
If Jiang Mian could hear the man’s inner voice she would surely roll down from his thigh in fear!
What a joke, she wanted to stay away from him more than anything else, so how could she seduce him with her beauty!
“Loosen the reins to grasp me better?”
The corner of Shen Shiyan’s mouth was pressed down as he slowly spits these words, locking his gaze firmly on her face, and under his scrutinizing gaze, he seemed to want to see Jiang Mian.
The said beauty on the other hand was still clutching to her chest thinking why she was suddenly short of breath and felt like she was being ripped apart when she was fine just now.
But just after two or three seconds, she was now all feeling fine again.
Just like like this morning, that unbearable pain comes without warning but disappeared as if nothing had happened, as if everything was just an illusion of its own.
What the hell is wrong with her?
Jiang Mian carefully recalled that the original owner did not have any heart disease or other problems, did she?
Then why was she in so much pain!
Jiang Mian seriously pondered what exactly the two pains had in common.
Was it related to Shen Shiyan?
Jiang Mian’s gaze secretly swept over to Shen Shiyan, not quite sure of the deduction she had.
It seems that every time she wants to break up with Shen Shiyan or leave, she would suddenly feel pain, and even faint.
Could it be that she couldn’t do things that were not in line with the original owner’s design after transmigrating into this body, otherwise it would OOC!
(T/N: out of character)
OOC will be punished!
Impossible?!
Jiang Mian didn’t believe it, so she raised her already moist eyes to look at Shen Shiyan, “I did not, I was trying to mention…” break up…
As expected, before Jiang Mian could say the word “break up” she felt intense pain in her chest once again, it was even worse than before that she was losing air.
After persisting for only a few seconds, she felt that she was about to suffocate to death. Jiang Mian was so frightened that she quickly hugged Shen Shiyan’s neck and began to act like a spoiled child.
“I’m really hurting!”
It really hurts whenever she mentions breaking up, but right after closing her mouth and hugging Shen Shiyan, the pain that she was experiencing disappeared almost immediately.
This further confirmed her guess.
After experiencing a roller coaster of emotions, Jiang Mian really wanted to cry now!
Oh my god, she has to go down according to the original owner’s character design, otherwise, she would supper painful torture.
Then would she have to do a series of insane things to destroy the hero and heroine?
No, she really doesn’t want to entangle with them!
