Upon raising her head, she found herself momentarily stunned. The man before her appeared to be in his late twenties, dressed in an exquisite suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He exuded a refined demeanor, polite yet radiating the aura of an elite individual.
However—
There was something oddly familiar about him.
Before she could ponder further, he quickly put away his phone and, with an apologetic expression, said, "I'm sorry, I bumped into you. Are you hurt? Should we go see a doctor?"
She rubbed her nose and smiled, shaking her head. "It's nothing, really. No need to make a fuss."
"Are you sure it's nothing?" He looked at her intently, noticing the tears welling in her eyes as she rubbed her nose. Unable to resist a smile, he took out a business card and said, "Here’s my contact information. If you feel unwell at all, don’t hesitate to call me."
Now it was her turn to be flabbergasted. She looked up at him in surprise, confusion filling her eyes. Oh my goodness, was she being flirted with?
But before she could respond, he pressed the card into her hand and said apologetically, "I have to run; I have something urgent to attend to. Please call if you need anything."
With that, he nodded at her, lifted his phone to his ear, and turned to leave.
She stood there, speechless.
"Hey—"
Well, it seemed she had misunderstood the situation.
Su Mingxian let out a heavy sigh, shrugging her shoulders as she glanced at the business card in her hand.
“Qin Dongming?”
Aside from the name, the card only listed a phone number and a pager number.
Su Mingxian furrowed her brow; it was strange that there was no company or position listed on the card.
Of course, this was just a minor detail. After putting the card away, she finally stepped into the sales office.
...
“Did you need something?”
Shen Chi sat in a window-side seat, his hands playing with a teacup on the table. His expression was serious, straightforward, and devoid of warmth, which clashed entirely with the elegance of the tea house.
Across from him, Su Meili’s previously joyful demeanor froze instantly. She forced a smile, her hands tightly gripping her teacup.
Was it too much to ask for a little warmth in his tone?
But thinking of her purpose for coming, she softened her gaze and tucked a stray hair behind her ear. With a smile, she said, “Ahem, actually it’s nothing particularly important. I heard you were looking for these books last time, and I happened to find them at the school library. Could you take a look and see if I got the right ones?”
With that, she pulled the books from her backpack and handed them over. Shen Chi did not take them; instead, he continued to look at her coldly, his eyes flickering slightly.
Su Meili, seeing that he did not respond, awkwardly placed the book on the table, her smile forced and as if she might cry at any moment.
Just then, Shen Chi suddenly grasped her wrist, raising an eyebrow. "Did you get hurt?"
Startled, Su Meili quickly withdrew her hand, putting on a brave face despite her evident distress. "It's nothing. I'm not in pain anymore, thank you for your concern."
"Your sister-in-law is lucky to have you; I must be out of luck to suffer like this." After saying that, she hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, feigning panic. "Look at me rambling! Since the book has been delivered, I'll take my leave now. It wouldn't be good if your sister-in-law misunderstood."
With that, she grabbed her bag and dashed toward the door.
She had dressed carefully today in a white short-sleeved dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, giving her an elegant and refined appearance. However, against the backdrop of the white dress, the large bruises on her arms stood out glaringly, impossible to ignore.
Shen Chi watched Su Meili's antics, his brow nearly knitting into a tight knot.
