Chapter 50: Lend a Hand

These four words were like a basin of ice water, extinguishing the passion that had just ignited in his eyes.

All that remained was dissatisfaction with her words.

Jiang Yanbai slowly stood up.

He approached her step by step.

"You dare say another word!"

Gu Miaomiao did not retreat but moved forward, crossed her arms, and laughed sarcastically.

"If you pursue this matter any further,"

Her eyes fell on his taut jawline as she added slowly.

"At night, you sleep alone."

Jiang Yanbai's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, his eyes narrowed in disbelief.

"Are you threatening me?"

Gu Miaomiao shrugged lazily.

Those cold eyes now showed a hint of smile.

"Boss Jiang, how dare I threaten you?"

"I'm just reminding Mr. Jiang that you are a magnanimous person and shouldn't bother with a little girl like me."

"Let the past be the past, okay?"

Jiang Yanbai clenched his hands, which were hanging at his sides, into fists that made crackling sounds.

This woman! She always threatens him with the things he needs most!

But I don’t know why, I always toss and turn in the nights without her.

He didn't want to sleep with her, he just wanted to be healthy for the company.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the emotions surging in his eyes had been completely suppressed.

"good."

A word squeezed out from between the teeth.

After Jiang Yanbai finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave this office that made him irritated.

Suddenly, a slightly cold little hand grabbed my sleeve.

The soft touch, coming through the thin fabric of his shirt, caused his heart to throb for a moment.

The next second, he shook her hand off as if he was scalded.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Gu Miaomiao was not annoyed and naturally withdrew her hand.

She raised her eyes, with a hint of temptation in her eyes.

"Is my father's old office still there? Where are his things?"

Jiang Yan frowned and looked at her sharply.

"What do you want those for?"

She had to find that computer as soon as possible.

But he couldn't get suspicious either.

Gu Miaomiao pretended to think and spoke seriously.

"He's not here right now, but the copies of those previous business contracts should still be in his computer."

"I want to look at the past records. Perhaps they will be of some use to the company's future development."

This explanation sounds reasonable.

Jiang Yanbai's scrutinizing gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds before finally moving away.

"Lin Yi."

Lin Yi, who was guarding outside the door, immediately pushed it open and walked in with a straight posture and a respectful attitude.

"Boss Jiang, what are your instructions?"

Jiang Yanbai raised his chin slightly and pointed in the direction of Gu Miaomiao.

"Take Miss Gu to the warehouse."

“It turns out that all the old computers from the company are there.”

Lin Yi turned to Gu Miaomiao, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Miss Gu, please follow me."

Gu Miaomiao nodded. Her goal was achieved. Without a moment's delay, she stretched out her long legs and followed.

But she didn't expect that behind her and Lin Yi.

Jiang Yanbai followed slowly.

Gu Miaomiao suddenly stopped and turned around.

Jiang Yanbai, who was following behind her, also stopped, and there was a distance of three steps between them.

His dark eyes were deep and he looked at her expressionlessly.

A hint of impatience flashed across Gu Miaomiao's face, and she spoke impatiently.

"Mr. Jiang, you don't have anything else to do, so why are you following me?"

Jiang Yanbai curled the corners of his lips indifferently, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"It suddenly occurred to me. You've always been cunning and scheming."

"If something makes you go out of your way to look for it, it must not be a good thing."

This man.

This time it was quite sharp.

Gu Miaomiao's eyes turned slightly, and in a flash of thought, she had already thought of what to say.

She adopted a businesslike tone, with a hint of instruction.

"Mr. Jiang, what you said is wrong. We all have our own responsibilities. You should also do something for the company. Angel Wings is well-known. Mr. Jiang, why don't you strike while the iron is hot and discuss with Mr. Wang to develop some related jewelry series?"

"It's not wise to cling to old achievements."

Jiang Yanbai strode forward, instantly closing the distance between them.

The refreshing scent belonging to him blew towards me.

"These are not your concerns."

His voice held a warning tone.

Sure enough, she had something to hide.

The more she was in a hurry to change the subject, the more it proved that her real purpose was hidden in that pile of old things.

Gu Miaomiao met his inquiring gaze without flinching.

He pretended to be indifferent and shrugged lazily.

"It seems that I was worrying too much."

"Since Mr. Jiang is so free, if you want to follow me, then follow me."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and continued walking forward.

Lin Yi led the way and took the two of them all the way to the underground warehouse.

The heavy iron door was pushed open, and a smell of dust hit me in the face.

Everywhere you look, there are piles of old desks and chairs, abandoned filing cabinets, and cardboard boxes thrown on the ground.

Jiang Yanbai's handsome brows were tightly furrowed in displeasure.

"Why is it so messy?"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Lin Yi's forehead and he bent his waist even lower.

"Boss Jiang, we were in a hurry to clean up, so we put all these things here temporarily."

"I'll bring a few people over to clean up right away."

As he said this, he turned around and called for help.

Jiang Yanbai raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait a moment."

His gaze passed over the mess and fell back on Lin Yi.

"When you go back, contact Mr. Wang first."

“Ask him if he wants to design some more products similar to Angel Wings.”

"If he agrees, please make an appointment and invite him to the company to discuss in detail."

Gu Miaomiao, who was about to walk in, stopped.

She had her back to him, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a slight arc.

She turned around slowly, her eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a playful look in her eyes.

"Didn't Mr. Jiang accept my suggestion?"

Jiang Yanbai met her gaze with a cold look.

He squeezed out four words from between his teeth.

“For the company.”

The curve of Gu Miaomiao's lips deepened, and the teasing in her eyes became more intense.

She looked away and stopped arguing with him.

He turned around and walked towards the mountain of debris, casually moving a dusty office chair.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang. Since you're so free, lend a hand."

There was a carelessness in her voice, but it sounded like a command.

Jiang Yanbai's jawline instantly tensed.

He strided into the warehouse with his long legs.

A bony hand grabbed the edge of a heavy iron table and pulled it back.

There was a loud bang from the row of crumbling waste next to the door!

Collapsed instantly.

One of the filing cabinets hit Jiang Yanbai's back hard.

He fell forward uncontrollably.

Gu Miaomiao's body reacted faster than her brain, and she moved sideways swiftly.

Dodged perfectly.

Jiang Yanbai's tall body brushed against the corner of her clothes and fell heavily to the ground.

“Hmm!”

A painful groan.

More debris fell down immediately after, crushing him underneath.
