Chapter 132: Making Fun of Her
Jiang Yuan finished speaking in one breath, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and took two sips in succession.
She deliberately took advantage of the situation and struck just the right tone of jealousy.
But her aversion to Lin Zhi was real.
She turned her head away and stopped looking at him, but she could feel from the corner of her eye that his unfathomable eyes had been fixed on her face without moving away while she spoke.
Her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, until she was about to give up, he asked slowly: "Did I ever say that North City University is not as good as the Ivy League?"
He leaned back in his chair, a smile that was neither mocking nor insincere. Jiang Yuan was very familiar with that smile of his since they had been together. He would smile like that whenever he wanted to make fun of her. There was an indescribable sense of closeness to him, which was in stark contrast to his usual aloof and superior demeanor.
Jiang Yuan felt as if a thread was gently pulling at his heart, and he tried hard to keep a straight face.
"Who says you're worse than her? You're an honors student at a top university in China, a double-degree student raking in scholarships. In your early twenties, you're already a financial manager at a giant company. At this rate of advancement, your potential in three to five years is limitless."
He spoke seriously, but the expression on his face clearly showed that he was teasing her.
But she didn't expect that he had even found out about her situation at school, and he probably hadn't found out about her experience.
Jiang Yuan pinched the handle of the goblet, her fingers slightly tightening.
Perhaps thinking she was still sulking, he leaned forward slightly, studied her features, and continued to coax her, "The annual salary of a financial director is only this much. Otherwise, why would Yang Ming cling to the position so stubbornly and refuse to let go, while so many people from outside are desperately trying to get into Dongjin?
Dongjin's treatment is good in the industry, but if they don't solve the problem of employee accommodation, what's the point of me providing her with a home?"
He pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, but he also explained what needed to be explained.
Jiang Yuan understood the principle of knowing when to stop, and his patience had reached its limit. If she continued to pester him, she would be taking advantage of him.
She raised her eyes to look at him and said seriously, "I don't like you getting too close to anyone of the opposite sex. At least when we are together, I hope we are both loyal."
He suppressed the smile on his lips and looked at her with heavy eyes. The undercurrent in his eyes was turbulent and vast. Although Jiang Yuan couldn't see clearly, just one look at him made her heart beat faster.
She quickly looked away, her cheeks flushing slightly.
His voice deepened a bit, and in this dim room, it sounded particularly magnetic and seductive. "Are you full? If you are, go home."
Jiang Yuan understood the implication of the second half of his sentence, and her blood suddenly became hot.
She could keep her mind rational, and when she was swept into confusion and helplessness by the waves of emotion he brought her, she could still be awakened by the warnings in the deepest part of her heart, but she could not resist the physical impact he brought her.
Every time they finished, she lay naked beside him, her willpower completely broken, and she felt schizophrenic, as if she was in a state of illusion, as if she was no longer the original Jiang Yuan, and had been temporarily withdrawn from reality.
She completely gave her body to him, and when he led them to the top, her heart would lose consciousness at that moment, and only her body's instincts would be infinitely magnified until she was completely submerged.
Jiang Yuan was led out of the private room on the second floor by Yin Dong's hand and walked down the wooden stairs one step at a time.
A passing waiter nodded and stood aside to make way for them. After they came down, the restaurant manager came over and bowed, "How was your meal?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan quickly took out her phone from her bag and prepared to pay. "Very good, how much is the total? Where is the payment code? Let me scan it."
