Jiang Han gently laughed, looking at An Ning's eyes, which flashed with a faint light. Looking at her, An Ning was suddenly at a loss on what to do. She didn't know what kind of expression she should put on, and her lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line.

"Fine, I bumped into you by accident. As an apology, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Han would say something like that. An Ning looked at him blankly, but after reacting, she rejected him without thinking.

"No need!"

"Don't, let's go, I'll treat you to a meal! Anyway, it's time for the afternoon break. "

Jiang Xianxin knew that An Ning would give in, and wouldn't forgive her. However, to his surprise … An Ning's attitude was unusually domineering.

"I still have things to do, thank you for your good intentions."

An Ning gave him an estranged smile. Without waiting for his reply, she grabbed the folder in her hands and quickly left.

Jiang Jia stared at her back with dark and gloomy eyes, thinking about something.

By the time An Ning had exited the chief's office, most of the company had already left. Only a few people carrying boxes of food were left in the company as they prepared to go to the teahouse to warm up. An Ning stretched her stiff neck after sitting for so long, and also prepared to eat.

Just as they turned the corner of the corridor, An Ning saw a person sitting in the reception area. Hearing her footsteps, that man suddenly raised his head, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you done? What do you want to eat? "

An Ning paused for two seconds, expressionlessly staring at Jiang Jia, and let out a helpless sigh. Didn't Jiang Jia Han always have a high self-esteem? Why did he become so stubborn now?

An Ning didn't say anything, nor was Jiang Jia in a hurry. She patiently and quietly watched her. After a minute, An Ning gave in.

"I want to go to the staff cafeteria to eat. Director Jiang, please don't accompany me in a condescending manner just to apologize. I've already felt your apology."

An Ning said with a fake smile, as if she had already made up her mind that Jiang Xiao wouldn't go. She nodded her head slightly, indicating that she was ready to leave, but Jiang Xian's words stopped her in her tracks.

"Staff cafeteria, sure."

An Ning looked at him with surprise and speechlessness. She couldn't think of any way to get rid of him, even if she had to refuse. She just pretended that she didn't understand what she was trying to say.

"Whatever you want."

"En!" An Ning weakly replied. She didn't care about the cold and continued walking forward. Jiang Jun took a few steps forward and caught up to her. The two of them walked side by side.

"Are you used to it in the company?"

Hearing Jiang Jia's question, An Ning raised her eyes and looked at him indifferently.

"I'm more used to it if you're not here."

An Ning didn't want to be so sharp, but Jiang Xiushan's series of inexplicable actions caused her to involuntarily stiffen all over. It seemed like the two of them had never gotten along with each other in this manner before. Perhaps after a few days, Jiang Xiushan would feel annoyed and stop pestering her. An Ning comforted herself. However, for some reason, she felt a dull stabbing pain in her heart because of this thought.

Having been hit by An Ning's words, Jiang Xiao Han somewhat embarrassedly raised her eyebrows, and very meaningfully changed the topic.

"Do you go to the cafeteria often?"

"Yes."

While they were talking, they arrived at the staff cafeteria. Because of Jiang Jia Han's identity and appearance, almost as soon as they entered, the cafeteria that was noisy immediately quietened down. Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Jia Han and An Ning.

Surprised, confused, gossipy, and all kinds of gazes were sent over from all directions. Jiang Ying Han was used to being the focus of everyone's attention, and was very calm. Seeing that An Ning suddenly stopped walking, Jiang Han even lightly tugged at the corner of her clothes, with a bit of doubt in his voice.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Jia's cold voice brought An Ning's thoughts back to her. She angrily glared at the culprit, and under everyone's gaze, she started walking towards the window where the food was served.

The moment she entered, An Ning suddenly regretted bringing Jiang XiHan to the dining hall. Just now, he had infuriated An Ning so much that she had completely forgotten that her appearance together with Jiang XiHan would cause such a sensation in the company. However, there was no room for regret now, so she could only brace herself and walk forward.

Jiang Han Han was inexplicably glared at, and felt somewhat aggrieved. Before he could open her mouth, An Ning had already walked forward, so Jiang Han could only quickly catch up to her.

The dining hall was outsourced to other people, so the food in the restaurant was not inferior to the food in the restaurant. An Ning was also not very familiar with the company's surroundings, and during this period of time, in order to avoid trouble, she always ate in the cafeteria.

After finishing her meal, An Ning chose a relatively remote place to sit down. Even so, there were still many kinds of gazes coming from all directions. However, there weren't many people in the canteen. This was the only consolation.

Jiang Jia Han also knew the worries in An Ning's heart, but he didn't care. With him here, no one could speak carelessly about An Ning. Sooner or later, he would once again pursue An Ning.

This could be said to be the most torturous meal that An Ning had ever eaten in her company. The most straightforward proof was that it took her only ten minutes to finish eating it all.

"Director Jiang, take your time and eat. I'll be going first."

An Ning forced out a smile, speaking politely yet estrangingly, as if her relationship with Jiang Jia Han was just the most ordinary of relationships.

Jiang Xiushan couldn't help but furrow his brows. However, he also knew that An Ning's patience had reached its limit. If he were to continue pestering her, he would only feel disgust towards her, and would only allow her to leave.

In the next half month, Jiang Xianxian came to inspect the company four or five times in succession, and every time he didn't try to find a way to meet An Ning, he would never leave, or he would pretend that he didn't know who the author of the design was and give a lot of praise. He then said that he wanted to meet the designer.

Or maybe he was just wandering around the company and "met" An Ning by chance. Although he had only been on the job for half a month, An Ning felt that she was even more tired than if she had drawn a year's worth of blueprints. She was afraid that he would jump out of there.

Jiang Jia Han was no better than An Ning. Although he could see An Ning at any time, compared to the three years he had spent searching for her, there was no trace of her. Jiang Jia Han knew that he should be satisfied.
