Chapter 37
Su Wan felt herself lying on clouds and the clouds had brought her floating along in the sky.
Her whole body was feeble and her consciousness was floating. She couldn’t even differentiate north, south, east and, west and didn’t know which year it was.

However, when the long and cold hand touched her blouse button, a sudden clap of thunder flashed through in Su Wan’s mind.
No!
This was a taboo which should be kept so!
Su Wan was shocked and it was like a heavy current attacking her heart, awakening her that instant.
Su Wan put forth all her effort to push Jiang Xuecheng away but her resistance was in vain. There was indeed a difference between men and women.

In a moment of desperation, Su Wan grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s hand and her pair of misty eyes pleaded.
“Jiang Xuecheng, I beg you, please don’t…”
Jiang Xuecheng, who was pressing against Su Wan, was slightly stunned and gradually regained his senses.
He saw the woman under him looking at him with pleading eyes. The lapel of her blouse was half-opened, her pretty face looked hazy, and there were some obvious marks on her neck.
Weren’t these his masterpiece?
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes were as dark and deep as a cold abyss. He knew if he insisted, Su Wan would be unable to resist.
He could probably repeat this mistake and take it as a threat to coerce Su Wan into marrying him…
However, when he heard Su Wan’s plead, Jiang Xuecheng’s heart ached slightly and he didn’t know why. He got up quickly and helped Su Wan lean against his shoulders.
Jiang Xuecheng shut his eyes and when he reopened, the surge of emotions in his eyes couldn’t be detected anymore.
“I’m sorry…”
Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng’s apology and her eyes moved slightly. She bit her lips and eventually murmured, “Let’s take it as if nothing has happened.”
Su Wan knew very well that if it were not for her last minute soberness, she would have been completely charmed by Jiang Xuecheng.
When she was beside Jiang Xuecheng, she had no control of her consciousness. Wasn’t that scary?

She thought that perhaps nobody in this world could resist Jiang Xuecheng’s charm.
This man was dangerous and one she should not and was incapable of messing with. She should stay as far away from him as possible.
Before employment, she didn’t know that Long Teng International had been purchased by Jiang Xuecheng under Di Chen Group. If she had gotten this piece of information earlier, she would definitely not have chosen Long Teng International.
“Take it as if nothing has happened?”
Su Wan said this in a soft voice but these few words kept ringing in Jiang Xuecheng’s ears. Her voice was magnified and attacked his eardrum.
Jiang Xuecheng clenched his fists. He was actually trying to say he would be responsible…
However, Su Wan looked like she didn’t care about this incident.
Why was Su Wan so calm after being bullied by him?
Or was he really non-existent in her heart that she could ignore him completely?
“Mr. Jiang, can I go now?”
Su Wan stole a glance at Jiang Xuecheng. His face was indifferent and she couldn’t tell if he was happy or angry.
Since he didn’t answer, Su Wan thought Jiang Xuecheng had given her tacit permission. She dashed out of the office.
Su Wan ran out nervously, as if avoiding something filthy in the room.
Jiang Xuecheng watched as the wooden door creaked shut. Suddenly, he had an urge to get Su Wan back here to ask her if she really hated him.

Jiang Xuecheng closed his eyes and felt something stuck in his throat. He cleared his throat and punched the couch with all his might, causing the couch to shake vigorously.
Jiang Xuecheng’s body was feeble. He smiled bitterly and lay down on the couch again. The woman was not here anymore but it was as if her sweet, fresh breath still lingered here…
At that moment, Su Wan ran out of the chairman’s office but she did not return to her office.
She pressed a random button in the elevator and hid in the washroom of that floor for almost half an hour.
Su Wan kept splashing her face with cold water, hoping that she would come around.
When she raised her head, she saw her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes revealed her loveliness and Su Wan couldn’t believe it was her.
Since when did she have such a unique style?
The girl in the mirror had misty eyes, as if being enveloped by a layer of fog, and her fair lower jaw to her delicate neck imprinted some marks left by the man.
Su Wan let out a long breath and leaned against the marble wash basin countertop weakly. She felt a throbbing pain on her head.
This devil Jiang Xuecheng!
Suddenly, from a distance away, there was the clear sound of high heels nearing. Some of the footsteps were light, while the rest were heavy. Obviously, they came from two different people.
Su Wan was slightly stunned. She quickly hid in a stall and latched the door softly. She was not sure why she had a guilty conscience.
“Sigh, did you see? When Mr. Jiang left, his look was scary!”
“But he’s still handsome. I was almost out of breath. He looks one thousand or even ten thousand times more handsome than the celebrities on the screen!”
“I heard that he went out of his way to visit the planning department before he left, but he merely pulled the door open, took a peep, and left. When I heard the descriptions by Xiao Liu of the planning department, I can imagine Mr. Jiang’s cool look!”
“What happened between Mr. Jiang and that newcomer? I heard her name is Su Wan? Till now, she’s still nowhere to be seen…”
“Yup, I’m really curious. How did Su Wan provoke Mr. Jiang?”
***
Were the employees of Long Teng International this nosy?
Su Wan heard the chirping noises outside. Her expression kept switching. Jiang Xuecheng had gone over to the planning department before he left? Did he go there to look for her?
Su Wan’s head was aching. She pressed on her temples and when the footsteps could no longer be heard, she finally decided to head back to the planning department. After all, she couldn’t hide in the washroom forever, could she?
Su Wan tidied herself up and mentally prepared herself. Finally, she came to the doorstep of the planning department.
She pushed opened the door slightly and at that moment, everyone’s eyes were on her.
Although Su Wan had tried to wipe away or cover up the eye-catching marks, her sharp-eyed colleagues could still see the unusual swelling of Su Wan’s lips.
That was obviously the result of engaging in a vigorous kiss!
Someone roared with laughter and everyone else started to gesticulate.
A beautiful lady with a pony tail suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed, “Hey, isn’t this our new colleague from the planning department, Su Wan?”
“I said she must have done something to Mr. Jiang to make him angry!”
“Don’t ever think you can seduce Mr. Jiang with your pretty face. Don’t you know that he doesn’t like women?”
“Forcing a kiss on Mr. Jiang? She’ll probably be sacked tomorrow.”
