After seeing Song Zurong off, Jiang Yun had just reached her parking space and was about to get her car when—
Jiang Yun—Song Zurong—“Click…”
The sound of a lighter broke the stillness of the parking garage.
She turned around. Jiang Jin was leaning against his car, his custom-tailored black suit slightly open. The sheen of the fabric spoke of the man’s every inch of refinement and status.
He held a cigarette between his lips, taking his time as he lifted his eyes to look her over.
“Dr. Jiang, what a coincidence~” Jiang Yun walked toward him, twirling a lock of hair, her eyes alluring.
The Chanel Chance she’d sprayed on before leaving drifted lightly through the air…
She hadn’t expected to have a real chance encounter after all.
Jiang Jin narrowed his eyes at the woman before him. One moment she’d pretended not to know him, and the next she was calling him in that sweet, innocent voice as though nothing had happened…
What a fucking actress…
He stubbed out his cigarette, his gaze darkening. “Weren’t you just pretending not to know me?”
The woman before him smiled. “But Dr. Jiang was pretending not to know me too, wasn’t he?” Beneath her thick lashes, her eyes looked lively and utterly innocent.
He smiled, amused. “Can’t have me getting in the way of Miss Jiang’s fishing, can I?”
She edged closer. The height difference made her rise onto her toes, tilting up her fair, oval face as she stared straight at him. Her eyes were like a deep pool, drawing a person in until they wanted to drown in them…
From a distance, the pose looked just like a woman asking for a kiss…
Jiang Yun gave a soft laugh, parting her red lips. “Jealous?”
As their eyes met, she raised a slender, pale hand and gently brushed the cigarette ash from the shoulder of his black suit.
Jiang Yun’s sudden movement caught Jiang Jin off guard for a moment. He abruptly caught hold of the arm that was playfully invading his space, enclosing her soft, boneless hand in his broad palm.
The tender softness against his palm was like an electric current running through him. He couldn’t help shivering…
Jiang Jin let go at once. His breathing grew a little uneven, and her faint perfume filled his nostrils. He quickly steadied his breathing, then looked down at her.
“What would I have to be jealous of, hmm?”
His voice, roughened slightly by the cigarette he’d just smoked, made that “hmm?” of his sound uniquely sexy…
His breath was close enough to feel. His deep, magnetic voice flowed into her ears, and a tingling sensation spread through Jiang Yun’s body. She couldn’t help thinking, 【Male Fairy! He’s always pretending to be so proper!】
“Oh, is that so~” Jiang Yun’s tone carried a hint of disappointment. “Looks like I’ll have to try harder if I want to find my way into Dr. Jiang’s heart.”
After saying that, Jiang Yun stepped back to her car. Before Jiang Jin could react, she opened the door and got in in one smooth motion. The Young Miss in the driver’s seat slowly lowered the window.
“Dr. Jiang, don’t slap me down next time, okay? Bye~”
Jiang Yun’s smile was playful and alluring. She winked at him with her bright eyes, then quickly disappeared from sight…
Jiang Jin remained where he was. He’d originally planned to meet up with his three good friends somewhere else, but somehow, the moment he saw Jiang Yun give her business card to Zhou Yan, he’d felt inexplicably restless and wanted to come here to intercept her.
In all thirty years of his life, with his family background and status, he’d never denied himself what he wanted.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he’d decided to act on it—and had.
He’d always been good at keeping his emotions steady, but somehow, whenever he encountered her, something stirred inside him.
Jiang Jin shook his head and smiled wryly. He’d spent so long living a proper life that, now that an interesting woman had suddenly appeared, even he was starting to lose control…

When Jiang Yun got home, she kicked off the bloodsucking Valentino heels.
“Mmm…” Freed from their high heels, she sighed in relief. So comfortable~
The bathroom was hazy with steam. Fresh from her bath, the petite woman was wrapped in a towel that left one side of her bosom exposed, the soft, pale curve on the verge of spilling out.
Water dripped from the ends of her wet hair and ran down the curve of her neck into the hollow between her breasts.
She looked at herself in the full-length mirror. The bath had left her face flushed pink, droplets glistening on her jade-like cheeks…
What a soft, bewitching little fairy she was, with her graceful curves! Jiang Yun couldn’t help admiring herself.
“Jiang Jin, you’re one lucky man~”
After drying her hair, she stretched out on the big bed. Thinking of the man in the parking garage, she couldn’t help smiling to herself. Had he been jealous? Why else would he have come to intercept her?
Her slender legs swung in the air. Surely he was starting to notice her, too. The curve of her lips grew wider, and she drifted off into a blissful night’s sleep.
Morning
Yalan, a subsidiary of Jiang Group
“Click-clack~” The sound of high heels striking the marble floor echoed through the quiet twenty-second floor, carrying a hint of lightness and energy, as though proclaiming the strength and charm of women.
“Get me a cup of coffee with sugar,” Jiang Yun said as soon as she entered the manager’s office, giving her assistant an instruction.
“Of course, General Manager Jiang.” Lin Ningyi was the assistant Jiang Yun’s father, Jiang Shaoyuan, had assigned to her. Jiang Yun had only recently returned to the country and was still unfamiliar with the company and the way things worked here, so she needed a capable, efficient assistant to help shoulder the load.
“Thanks,” Jiang Yun said with a smile and a slight nod. “Later, ask everyone what they’d like for an afternoon snack and arrange it for them. I’ll reimburse you.”
“Don’t forget to get something for yourself, either.”
Lin Ningyi looked at her boss. When Jiang Yun smiled, her eyes seemed to sparkle. Her pure yet alluring face carried a hint of charm.
What a knockout!
“On behalf of everyone, thank you, General Manager Jiang. I’ll go ask them in a bit.” Lin Ningyi was captivated by the woman before her. As expected, women loved looking at beautiful women even more.
She’d assumed her direct superior would be an arrogant, overbearing young miss. But now that she’d met her, she found Jiang Yun not only had no airs but was also easygoing.
Who could blame her? She’d come to work only to find a woman of such irresistible allure, and her boss had already arranged a treat for the staff. This was the working life every employee dreamed of!
Jiang Yun sipped the freshly made latte. A pile of stones lay on her desk, waiting for her to choose from them. Guided by the principle that she could win over the man and make money too, she threw herself into work…
