Hearing the man’s cold and emotionless answer, Ning Yuan almost fell to the ground.
She was a person who became braver the more she suffered.
She wanted to see how hard his heart could be.
Ning Yuan stopped talking to him. She lowered her long eyelashes and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
Holding her bag, she walked past him.
When she was about to pass him, her slender body swayed unsteadily.
She was about to fall.
Ning Yuan looked behind from the corner of her eye. The man was standing there unmoved.
She bit her lip, closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
Just when she thought she would touch the ground intimately, a long and strong arm grabbed her arm.
Ning Yuan’s heart skipped a beat and she leaned into the man’s broad arms.
His refreshing and charming masculine breath entered her nose.
Ning Yuan lowered her long eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes.
“Thank you. I can walk myself. You don’t have to send me up…” Then, she coughed again.
The man looked at her with his dark eyes. After a while, he let go of her hand and hummed softly.
Ning Yuan was so angry that her heart was twisted into a ball.
She was just being polite and he was really not going to send her off?
She leaned against his arms, unwilling to stand up straight. Her slender fingers caressed her forehead. “Why am I suddenly so dizzy…”
The man looked at her thoughtfully, his dark eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
Ning Yuan’s heart was thumping.
Did he see through her?
A few seconds felt like centuries.
Until the man’s deep and cold voice sounded from above her head. “Go upstairs.”
Ning Yuan’s arm was held by him and she leaned against his shoulder as they went upstairs.
She pretended to be calm and weak on the surface, but she was overjoyed in her heart.
Wasn’t she not going upstairs?
Didn’t he still send her up?
However, this was only the beginning. She could not get carried away!
When they arrived at the apartment, he helped Ning Yuan to the sofa.
He was about to say something when he took the suit jacket from her shoulders and strode toward the door.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ning Yuan hurriedly chased after him.
“Your Highness, have some tea before you leave?”
Ye Yu turned back to look at Ning Yuan, his eyes dark. “You’re not dizzy anymore?”
Ning Yuan was speechless.
Ye Yu said, “Your legs aren’t weak anymore?”
Ning Yuan was speechless.
“D-Let me explain.”
The man’s expression was cold and he turned to leave without saying anything.
The door was slammed shut with a loud bang.
Ning Yuan leaned against the door and rubbed her head with both hands.
Wasn’t it said that there was a veil between a woman chasing a man?
Why did she feel like she had been thrown into hell the moment she started?
Ning Yuan lay on the sofa in a daze for a long time until her roommates sent her a video call.
Ning Yuan opened the video weakly.
Xia Lu, Zhang Shan, and Ye Tian appeared in the video.
Seeing the listless and slightly haggard Ning Yuan, the three of them were surprised.
“Beauty Ning, what happened to you? This doesn’t seem like your style!” Xia Lu said.
“I caught a cold.”
“I thought you fell out of love!”
“She did fall out of love. The scumbag cheated on her!”
Ye Tian, who was eating dessert, interrupted, “It’s alright, you deserve better! The other time you came to my birthday party, several young men who met you were asking for your contact details!”
Ning Yuan said, “An hour ago, I was ruthlessly rejected and hurt by a rich young man.”
Xia Lu said, “So, you fell out of love the second time?”
“We haven’t even dated the second time!”
As they were chatting, Ning Yuan suddenly saw a cold figure in Ye Tian’s video.
She immediately sat up from the sofa.
Ye Tian turned back to greet them before continuing to chat with them.
Ning Yuan noticed that there was a pretty girl behind Ye Yu.
He could only see the girl’s side profile, which was as fair and clean as a lotus flower.
“Tiantian, did your second brother bring his girlfriend back?”
Ning Yuan did not know if Ye Yu had a girlfriend, but from the few times they met, she felt that he did not have a girlfriend.
But if he did, her plan could only be stopped!
Ye Tian looked back and smiled. “No, that’s the younger sister of an aristocratic family called Wanwan. She’s looking for my second brother for something.”
Ning Yuan hummed and did not dare to ask too much, afraid that she would arouse suspicion.
“I don’t know when my second brother will find a girlfriend. His mind is on work and he feels like he has no interest in dating!”
“The woman who will be with my second brother in the future must have a very strong mentality!”
Ning Yuan nodded in agreement.
….
After the weekend, Ning Yuan’s cold was almost gone.
She started work again on Monday.
After the morning meeting, Ning Yuan went to the washroom.
She was about to come out of the cubicle when she heard two female colleagues discussing softly.
“Did you hear? Ning Yuan hit on the Second Prince during the weekend and was thrown into the sea by him.”
“No way. How dare she?”
“Why not? Su Yalin saw it with her own eyes. I heard that she even swam to the shore herself!”
“Oh my god, it’s too embarrassing!”
“If you want to talk about me, she’s a toad that wants to eat swan meat. If His Highness is so easy to approach, it’s not her turn. Many rich young ladies want to have a relationship with the Second Prince. Do you think he likes anyone?”
“You’re overestimating yourself!”
With a bang, the cubicle door was pushed open from inside.
Ning Yuan walked out in her high heels.
The two colleagues who were gossiping about her were shocked.
Ning Yuan went to the sink, washed her hands, and threw the water droplets on her hands onto the faces of the two colleagues.
“Ning Yuan, what are you doing?”
“I smell a foul smell. I’ll wash it for you.”
“You…”
Ning Yuan smiled, lifted her chin slightly and walked out.
“Look at how arrogant she is. Those who don’t know might think that she has seduced His Highness!”
Ning Yuan, who had walked out of the washroom, clenched her fists.
He snorted.
She had not seduced him now, but if she had more time, she did not believe that she would not be able to seduce him!
After finishing her work in the morning and lunch, Ning Yuan received a message from Feng Chen when she returned to her office.
Ning Yuan agreed.
Feng Chen: “I’m talking to the Second Prince about work. Do you want to see the photos?”
Ning Yuan: What do you mean?
Feng Chen: “I’ve been in love for a long time. Don’t think I can’t tell that you want to catch him.”
Ning Yuan: “So what?”
Feng Chen: “You sure talk big, young lady. Do you know how hard it is to catch him?”
Ning Yuan: Haha.
Feng Chen: “Actually, I also want to see him fall for a woman. To be honest, I can’t stand his cold face for a long time. I made a bet with several young men. They all think that you have no chance of winning, but I bet that you have a chance of winning. Within three months, I bet that you can take him down.”
Feng Chen: “I’m going to play golf with him on Wednesday. Are you coming?”
Ning Yuan: “Why are you helping me?”
