Si Yina was filled with longing for Jiang Lai, overwhelmed by a possessive desire in her heart.
Ever since their last parting, every day her thoughts itched uncontrollably—she missed the touch and the unique charm that came from Jiang Lai.
Si Yina had thought that seeing him this time would somewhat satisfy the craving inside her, but Jiang Lai’s rejection only fueled her urge to possess him even more.
Her gaze was too aggressive, scanning Jiang Lai up and down with an unabashed reveal of the wicked thoughts inside her mind.
At this moment, Jiang Lai found her a little frightening, his voice trembling noticeably.
“If there’s nothing else, can you leave now? You brought so many people, it’s disturbing the normal work here.”
Jiang Lai was very aware that some things were inappropriate to say in Xu Ruobing’s identity.
There were too many considerations she had to keep in mind.
Yet, Jiang Lai—who had nothing to lose—didn’t have such reservations at this moment.
Besides, she didn’t like Si Yina.
Back when Jiang Lai was still working at her company, she had admired her female boss’s work ability.
After all, she was young but already capable of managing an entire company.
Even amidst the process of corporate restructuring and rejuvenation, Si Yina could still run the company smoothly.
An ordinary person would have already caused the company to collapse.
Just based on this alone, Jiang Lai genuinely respected her.
But that little respect evaporated the moment she saw Si Yina use her power to harass female employees—even though they were both women.
Such behavior was utterly disgusting.
Jiang Lai’s clear intention to show Si Yina the door was understood.
Si Yina knew this visit was fruitless; even if she wanted to say more, Jiang Lai’s guarded gaze would only backfire.
But for Si Yina, today was not entirely unproductive.
At least she had seen Jiang Lai once again.
Considering that before this, just hearing Jiang Lai’s voice was a luxury.
And today, she confirmed Jiang Lai would come here often.
Now that she had found a breakthrough, she would soon know everything about Jiang Lai.
After leaving Xu Ruobing’s studio, Si Yina didn’t leave immediately.
Instead, she made sure someone kept a close watch.
As soon as Jiang Lai left the studio, someone immediately followed her.
From now on, everything related to Jiang Lai would be known to Si Yina.
Time was on her side.
As long as she could keep Jiang Lai within her sight, Si Yina was confident she could make Jiang Lai willingly come to her.
Jiang Lai looked at the now quiet office and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She hadn’t expected to see Si Yina again, let alone have her come just for her.
Thinking about the possessive gaze Si Yina had just cast upon her still sent chills down Jiang Lai’s spine.
But the innocent one who would suffer the most was Xu Ruobing.
Though she hadn’t caught the entire conversation between the two, just half of it was enough to infer why Si Yina had come.
Jiang Lai knew very well Si Yina was drawn to her, but they had only met once.
Jiang Lai had no idea what about her was so attractive.
No matter what reason Si Yina had to come here, it was all because of her, and this caused trouble for Xu Ruobing.
In the office with only the two of them, Jiang Lai hung her head in disappointment, sincerely reflecting on her fault.
“I’m sorry. What happened today is all because of me…”
Who would have thought that Xu Ruobing’s calm and graceful face just now had been almost strained with effort.
Jiang Lai still remembered the almost disheveled expression on Xu Ruobing’s face when she first entered the office.
If not for Xu Ruobing’s upbringing restraining her from losing control, the two would have probably started arguing long ago.
“It’s not your fault. Who would have expected that person to come looking for trouble?”
Xu Ruobing gently stroked Jiang Lai’s head.
Whether from the earlier frustration or the exhaustion from recent hard work, Jiang Lai looked so tired that it was heartbreaking.
Her voice was faint and weak, and her lips had lost much of their color.
Xu Ruobing’s principle was always not to pry into Jiang Lai’s matters unless Jiang Lai chose to share them herself.
But she was genuinely curious about Si Yina—how Jiang Lai had gotten involved with her.
After all, Jiang Lai and Si Yina came from two completely different worlds.
There should be no connection at all.
Si Yina didn’t voice her inner doubts, but Jiang Lai could easily tell what she was thinking from her pensive expression.
So she casually recounted everything that had happened in the elevator, including Si Yina’s harassment of her female employees.
If it weren’t for the lack of direct evidence and no victim testimony, Jiang Lai really wanted to sue her—to show her that even as the company’s Boss, the company was not her personal kingdom.
Because Jiang Lai’s sister-in-law was a lawyer, she understood a bit of legal knowledge.
Due to gender reasons, even if a lawsuit was filed, at most it would be a warning.
But if no warning was given now, Si Yina would only become more reckless.
Today Si Yina might have been sneaking touches or admiring curves.
Who could imagine what might happen next? It was frightening to think she might actually do something to bully and take advantage of others.
“I clearly only met her once…” Jiang Lai heard Xu Ruobing’s tone when she spoke, as if all her thoughts revolved around Jiang Lai, treating her as the most precious and important person.
They had only met once, yet Si Yina had reached such a degree.
It made Jiang Lai feel that maybe Si Yina was a little crazy.
But Xu Ruobing was certainly qualified to speak on the topic of falling so deeply after only one meeting.
“If you’ve met her before, then I understand everything.”
Xu Ruobing’s expression was one of full comprehension, which only made Jiang Lai more puzzled.
“You know, our Jiang Jiang is the most charming. She’s unknowingly enchanted another person~”
