Si Zhengting's gentle expression suddenly darkened. Ji Chen, who was by his side, suddenly felt a strong sense of jealousy and anger radiating from Si Zhengting.
Si Zhengting felt bitter, then suddenly found his confession from a few days before laughable.
His gaze was fixed on Zhuang Nainai's office. He saw strands of hair drooping down, almost obscuring her vision. However, her hands were busy flying across her keyboard, so Su Jinhui reached out and swept the strands of hair to the back of her head.
She didn't object to such an intimate gesture, and both of them were together in such a harmonious setting. That was so bothersome!
Si Zhengting clenched his fingers tightly. He gazed at the office deeply before turning around abruptly and leaving.
Ji Chen tailed after him. He almost had to jog in order to keep up with Si Zhengting, and the two left for the top floor.
"Ping!" The door to the office slammed shut, and Ji Chen's nose almost got rubbed in the dirt.
He touched his nose, then peeked through the cracks of the door. He saw Mr. Si standing on the balcony whilst smoking his cigarette.
—
Si Zhengting was extremely irritable. He inhaled the smoke from his cigarette deeply. However, he had done so too forcefully and immediately started coughing violently.
When he was able to breathe normally again, he finally felt that the pain in his heart was somewhat numbed.
He had liked her for five years.
And her?
Firstly, she had gotten a boyfriend by the name of Shi Haoyu in college, and now, she was flirting with Su Jinhui in Si Zhengting's company.
He clenched his fists. In the end, he sighed.
After a long time, Si Zhengting called Ji Chen to his office. "Get Su Jinhui to my office."
Ji Chen was speechless.
Mr. Si wouldn't ask Department Head Su to come to the top floor just to beat him to a pulp, would he?

Once Zhuang Nainai started working, she would enter a wild state of mind and would become oblivious to everything around her, including herself. The only thing on her mind was the design drafts. Her expression was also an unprecedentedly serious one. Due to this state of mind, she didn't even realize all the intimate actions that Su Jinhui had been engaging in.
And these actions by Su Jinhui were done subconsciously. However, when his fingertip came into contact with her hair and he felt how smooth and luscious it was, it felt as though a small electric current passed from the tips of his fingers and into his body.
He was stunned and stared dazedly at Zhuang Nainai's profile.
Sunlight streamed in, and it cast a mild golden glow on her. It made her figure look beautiful and dreamlike, and her beauty was beyond the power of expression in language.
At that moment, Su Jinhui was mesmerized by her beauty.
Once Zhuang Nainai was done drawing the design draft that they had discussed, she turned around, smiling as she asked, "Senior, what do you think of this?"
Her words snapped him back to reality.
Su Jinhui was in a daze for a few seconds, then looked at the design draft and said without actually thinking, "It's pretty good."
Zhuang Nainai smiled, pleased with the response. Then, she picked up the drafts containing the six leading styles and looked through them again. "If you don't have any problems with them, let's finalize them! We can't drag on the designing of winter clothes any longer. Once we've finalized these drafts, we can move on to design the styles for spring."
Su Jinhui nodded. He was still in a dazed state and didn't understand what Zhuang Nainai had said to him.
At that moment, Ji Chen knocked on the door. "Department Head Su, Mr. Si is asking for you to meet him on the top floor. He has something to say to you."
After Zhuang Nainai heard this, she was startled. All she could think of was — what did this fellow want now?
