Yang Huiling’s heart almost stopped beating when Jiang Nian appeared. Although she likes Shen Ming, she still doesn’t want to be looked down upon by the outsiders. Not to mention the fact that the other party is someone she hates, Jiang Nian!

Shen Ming frowned, pulled her hands off and gently pushed Yang Huiling aside: “Miss Yang, please have some self-respect, you are going to bring shame to Yang Jia if you behave this way. Don’t forget that you represent the Yang Jia[1].”

Yang Huiling was surprised to feel pain in her wrist. He looked up to see the anger and indifference in Shen Ming’s eyes- why had he ever treated her this way? Although Shen Ming may have always been indifferent, he is also a recognised gentleman in the circle. At charity dinners, he has always been cordial with everyone.

Such a person, was now so clearly, expressing his disappointment to her. He even said that she should not bring shame to Yang Jia.

Yang Huiling not only felt very embarrassed, but also felt that she had been too overconfident.

Her face turned red, but she just couldn’t stop herself: “Shen Ming, you should know what the Shen elders mean, do you think that you can resist it for long? Even if you don’t accept it now, you will definitely accept it in the future!”

Shen Ming no longer looked at her and walked to his girlfriend.

Jiang Nian gazed up at him.

Shen Ming said: “You don’t have to worry about Miss Yang.”

Yang Huiling smiled awkwardly and looked at the woman in front of him. She couldn’t understand how such an ordinary woman succeeded at getting his attention? In the end, she was unwilling to lose any more of her dignity. This time was clearly her loss. She could only leave while gritting her teeth.

When Yang Huiling left, Jiang Nian turned around and walked away without even glancing at him.

Shen Ming looked at the back of the girl and shouted: “Jiang Nian.”

Jiang Nian ignored him, and quickly rushed to the elevator. At this time, she also encountered Qin Lei who doubtfully asked: “Miss Jiang, is everything okay?”

Jiang Nian looked at him and shook her head: “Nothing, I am going back to school. Goodbye.”

Qin Lei saw Shen Ming chasing after her and suddenly had an epiphany: “Oh, it is just a couple’s fight. You should tell me if Shen Ming has wrong you in any way! I will help you out in any way I can.”

Shen Ming heard him say that and he was filled with indignation. The schadenfreude in his voice was clear as day!

Jiang Nian rolled her eyes at them and went to the elevator. Shen Ming kicked Qin Lei. No matter how painful Qin Lei claimed it was, he walked in before the elevator doors closed. He pulled Jiang Nian’s hand and pressed the button to first floor.

Jiang Nian tried to free her hand but failed. Shen Ming turned to look at her calmly.

In the elevator, there were two others with them. The man and woman standing behind them were quietly trying to narrow their sense of existence but their ears perked up trying to overhear their conversation. Jiang Nian did not want to put on a show for others and just had to let him hold her hand.

He chuckled lowly : “Are you angry with the husband?”

Jiang Nian said: “Do not talk nonsense, you are not my husband!”

Shen Ming grinned: “No name, more interesting.”

Jiang Nian: “..”

Suddenly a few coughing sounds came, they had to put on a tight smile to keep themselves from laughing. They could not afford to offend Shen Ming but surely there would be nothing wrong with passing on how Shen Ming flirts with his little girlfriend.

Jiang Nian couldn’t help but look up at the man’s handsome face. He still looked as calm as ever.

When they got to the car, Jiang Nian didn’t talk to Shen Ming. She sat in the passenger seat and stared out the window.

After Shen Ming started driving, he looked at her and said: “How come your jealousy is so strong this time?”

Jiang Nian did not respond.

Shen Ming reached over but his hand was evaded. His hand was stiff in the air. He frowned and stopped at car at the side of the road.

The inside of the car was too quiet.

Shen Ming lit a cigarette; put his elbow on the window, naturally emitting a cold vibe. This appearance would make anyone feel a chill.

Jiang Nian started: “Shen Ming, am I your girlfriend?”

Shen Ming replied yes.

“Then why don’t you tell me anything? You didn’t contact me for the past three days. I didn’t care that much but I had to hear the news from the outsiders. You didn’t tell me anything. Today is the same.. What do you want me to do?”

Shen Ming had some surprise and said: “These are small matters, you shouldn’t care.”

Jiang Nian continued: “You don’t care, but my friends ask me ‘Has he already broken up with you?’, they even ask me if the news is true, but I know even less about these matters than them.. Shen Ming, it seems like we really don’t match. I don’t know what you are hiding but I think that I can handle it. Shen Ming, ?I know that you may be able to handle it well with your ability, but your attitude makes me very unhappy.. you don’t worry about what I may be thinking? You don’t worry that I may be sad after hearing these kind of news? Didn’t you ever think that we may fight because of this? You never thought that I would be worried? Anxious? Have you ever thought about what I have been through these last three days? Do you even care about me at all?!”

She repeatedly asked. Shen Ming was stunned for a long while.

Jiang Nian looked at him with disappointment: “I am tired, send me back.”

Shen Ming finally understood what Jiang Nian was sad about. However, he didn’t know what to say. He wanted to hug her but she was still moving away from him. She kept looking out the window, decadently.

Shen Ming: “Okay..”

Jiang Nian was thinking if she should get out the car dramatically. On the other hand, she was pretty tired. Oh well, let the poor man drive his pretty little girlfriend back.

It was late when Jiang Nian returned to the dormitory. The other two roommates were still downstairs with her boyfriends. Lin Xiaoyue was playing games on her bed. When Jiang Nian came back, she asked how the date went.

Jiang Nian thought about it for a moment and vaguely said: “It was not very bad or good.”

Lin Xiaoyue asked with interest: “Did Shen Ming say anything about his and Yang Huiling’s scandal?”

Jiang Nian thought about what he would say if she directly asked for an explanation for this. Shen Ming is a very ambitious and prideful man, he would not be willing to bow down to anyone.

She looked at the ceiling for a while. Lin Xiaoyue noticed that something was wrong, and asked her: “Are you fighting with Shen Ming?”

Jiang Nian said: “There was no fight, we just talked about life.”

Lin Xiaoyue: “.. What did you talk about?”

Jiang Nian was quite emotional: “Probably that I am a young woman with reason, ideals and pursuits!”

Although the male lead’s way of smoking and his occasional melancholy looks are handsome and sexy. And the way he stares at her is cute.. but she is still resisting!

It’s really nice to have nothing to complain about, just hope that she can continue to resist him till the task is finally completed. QAQ

Lin Xiaoyue: “..wut?”

Jiang Nian didn’t want to talk anymore, and went to sleep after bathing.

The next morning, Jiang Nian woke up due to a call from Xu Chao. She hung up without saying anything. Xu Chao represents Shen Ming, and so, hanging up Xu Chao is equivalent to hanging up Shen Ming.

However, when Xu Chao called for the second time, she didn’t dare to hang up. She was trying to act like a sad little girlfriend, not an idiot.

She asked him if he needed anything.

Xu Chao did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked: “Miss Jiang, did you not rest well last night?”

“Yes?” She not only slept very well, she also has a sweet dream”..If that is all, then I am going to hang up. Goodbye.”

Xu Chao who just had a first-hand experience of getting hung up on, had to immediately stop attempting to make small talk and get to the point that is Shen Ming told him to send something to her and she needed to come downstairs to take it.

Jiang Nian, after thinking for a moment said: “No.”

“Please don’t hang up, Miss Jiang. The boss told me to do this. If I fail to do this, the boss will surely fire me..”

As Shen Ming’s assistant, Xu Chao is both eloquent with his words and very experienced at manipulating people using their emotions. Too bad that Jiang Nian was not fooled by his act and firmly said “NO!

Xu Chao: “..” The boss really offended the little ancestor[2] this time!

[1] Jia: Family

[2] Little ancestor: Spoiled little brat but in a cuter or endearing way.
