“Even then, I tried my best to hide my inability. Apart from preserving that tad bit of dignity, I wanted to leave a little of your goodness in my heart. Unfortunately, you still trampled on my dignity and obliterated that bit of goodness.”
Yue Yun Jin spoke of the past, only to feel like it was a lifetime ago.
He laughed coldly. The sound of his laughter drifting in the air with the night breeze made Qi Yan, who was listening, feel even more bone-chilling.
Qi Yan’s lips parted, but she couldn’t think of a way to refute him.
Then, she heard the man continue, “Qi Yan, have you forgotten how you sneered at me while holding hands with another man? It seems like I have underestimated your shamelessness.”
“I have never thought that you would still appear in front of me and scheme against me as if nothing happened.”
“Now, seeing that face of yours again only makes me sick, and I’m not interested in your filthy body.”
During the five years they dated, he had always restrained himself and had not crossed the line due to his naivety and conservativeness.
Yue Yun Jin’s voice was frigidly cold, and he looked at Qi Yan as if he was looking at some rubbish on the ground. Qi Yan’s face turned blue to white, and then it turned red as if she was changing faces. It was fascinating.
Looking at Yue Yun Jin’s back, Qi Yan’s eyes flashed with reluctance and resentment. But she did not want to let go of the prey she had picked out for so long. Even though Yue Yun Jin had said so, she still shamelessly attempted to go after him.
However, she was stopped by the bodyguards who arrived at some point and could only watch as Yue Yun Jin’s figure disappeared into the lift.
Her plan was an utter failure.
Yue Yun Jin was no saint, so of course, he had no intention of letting Qi Yan, who had schemed against him, off the hook.
He called and instructed his secretary, who had accompanied him on his business trip, to investigate Qi Yan’s affairs and then file a complaint against the hotel against her.
Qi Yan could have never imagined that Yue Yun Jin would be so ruthless as to have no regard for the mutual affection they once had, causing her to lose her job again after being lashed out by the hotel manager.
When Qi Yan’s friend—who had helped Qi Yan and had almost gotten dragged into this matter— learned of this, she cut ties with Qi Yan and spread the word about Qi Yan in her Moments. <sup>[1]</sup>
As a result, Qi Yan was really isolated and without external support in the capital.
On the other hand, Yue Yun Jin, who had facilitated this situation, was suppressing the effects of the drug and took the lift to the room he had opened.
Unexpectedly, he saw a woman who appeared to be drunk, holding her room card and swiping it desperately in front of his room door. The more she swiped, the more anxious she became. “Why can’t I open it? (Whimper) Even a stupid door is bullying me.”
Yue Yun Jin pinched his brow.
Looking at that gorgeous face, he realised that the woman blocking his door was the An family’s young lady, An Ran.
An Ran was also the project director, whom he had met when he was at Ji Company a few days ago on his business trip to the capital to discuss their cooperation.
An Ran was two years older than Yue Yun Jin.
Yue Yun Jin recognised An Ran because he met her when he attended various parties with his father in the past.
Yue Yun Jin approached her and said, “Miss An, this is my room. You can’t open the door no matter how many times you swipe it.”
Upon hearing that, An Ran’s ears twitched slightly. Confused, she turned her head to look at the man beside her. She fluttered her eyelashes and said, “You are….”
As she said that, she pointed her finger at him and suddenly uttered an “ahh” sound.
“You’re President Yue, the representative of Zhishen Technology. Why are you here? Are you here to see me?”
Yue Yun Jin sighed as he looked at the drunkard in front of him.
He repeated, “This is my room, Miss An.”
An Ran blinked and pressed her body against the door, “This is clearly my room. You’re talking nonsense.”
“Then why is Miss An standing outside the door and not going in?”
“Because it is bullying me, (whimper) ……”
Yue Yun Jin held his breath and felt as though his head could explode.
Because he was increasingly closer to An Ran, the more distinct the ethereal scent of her body mixed with the scent of wine had to burrow into his nose.
Even if it was a pleasant scent…
This scent was precisely why he became even more frustrated.
As he held back the strange sensation in his body, he extended his arms and swiped the door open with his room card. Then, he stepped inside and raised the room card in his hand, “Since the door was opened by me, it proves that this is my room, right?”
But one should never try to reason with a drunkard.
An Ran tilted that flushed little face to look at him, her eyes shining as she stared at the room card in Yue Yun Jin’s hand. The next second she grabbed that hand of Yue Yun Jin’s, and her whole body pounced on it.
She smiled foolishly at him, “Thank you, President Yue, for opening the door for me.”
“……” Yue Yun Jin’s head was filled with question marks.
