On a Friday, when Hao's Tailor Shop finished the three shirts, Jiang Ci reluctantly bid farewell to Han Lan and took the shirts home.

  She hadn’t seen Lu Yudong for several days.

  For an ordinary employee, meeting the President was always difficult.

  Lu Yudong sat on the sofa, looking at her with interest mixed with a hint of anger.

  "Back?" Lu Yudong asked her, "Where are the shirts you bought?"

  Jiang Ci took the shirts out of her canvas bag.

  At a glance, Lu Yudong knew these were custom-made from Dubai. She didn’t even change the packaging, showing her intentions towards him...

  "You've gained weight." Lu Yudong scrutinized Jiang Ci's round little face.

  The pounds she lost from her last illness had returned.

  "Huh?" Jiang Ci quickly touched her face, saying anxiously, "Gained weight? How is that possible?"

  Lu Yudong sneered, "Why not? Eating junk food every day."

  "Huh?" Jiang Ci thought: If I had known I'd gain weight, I wouldn't have eaten so recklessly. The outside food is heavy on flavor, which suits her, while Aunt Fang's cooking is quite light.

  "Finished reading the book?" Lu Yudong squinted his eyes and asked Jiang Ci again.

  "Huh? Book? What book?" Jiang Ci blinked, thinking, Lu Yudong doesn’t know about Chu Shuo’s book, is he trying to trick her?

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  "The Financial Cost Management book."

  Jiang Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it wasn’t "CPA and Life." She said, "That's a textbook, it takes a long time to finish."

  Lu Yudong laughed coldly, thinking Jiang Ci’s expression was something he couldn’t see through?

  "Oh, right, do you want to try on the shirts I bought for you?" Jiang Ci said, taking out the three shirts from the exquisite packaging.

  "How much for each?" Lu Yudong asked.

  Jiang Ci held up two fingers.

  "Twenty thousand?"

  Jiang Ci neither confirmed nor denied, just smiled smugly.

  Lu Yudong knew the brand of the shirts; he used to custom order them from Dubai, costing seventy to eighty thousand each. Judging by Jiang Ci’s money-loving nature, she wouldn’t buy them.

  Lu Yudong casually placed the shirts aside, extremely disappointed and frustrated with Jiang Ci.

  He went to the bedroom, leaning on the bed to read. After Jiang Ci took a shower, she saw Lu Yudong’s cold demeanor and felt uneasy.

  Sometimes, a person’s cold silence is more terrifying than anger.

  "What’s wrong?" Jiang Ci stood in front of Lu Yudong, rubbing his arm with her hand.

  "Don’t provoke me!" Lu Yudong’s voice was deep, but the barely contained temper still frightened Jiang Ci.

  Jiang Ci thought to herself, "It’s really like June," and was about to quietly turn away.

  But Lu Yudong grabbed her back, pulling her onto the bed.

  "I told you not to provoke me!" Recently, Lu Yudong had been holding a fire in his heart with no outlet.

  She returned, yet kept recklessly testing the dangerous edge, her innocence seeming feigned.

  She did such a thing and still acted so innocent, making Lu Yudong inexplicably angry.

  Lu Yudong tore Jiang Ci’s clothes...

  "Get me into the Audit Department!" Jiang Ci said to Lu Yudong, who was ten centimeters away from her.

  Jiang Ci used to not want to take shortcuts, wanting to enter the Audit Department cleanly to avoid gossip. But now it was impossible; seeing others bustling with interviews while she could only stand aside made her anxious. She really wanted to work in auditing, but they wouldn’t give her the chance. She wouldn’t get her CPA certificate until next year, but by then, there might be more variables, and the recruitment requirements might be higher.

  She couldn’t care less now and wanted to ask Lu Yudong to pull some strings, even though it was the last thing she wanted to do.

  Jiang Ci’s chest heaved, her eyelashes fluttered, and her nostrils quivered slightly with her breathing, making her look like an incredibly adorable girl.

  But why did every request she made provoke such aversion in Lu Yudong?

  Jiang Ci had a knack for easily igniting Lu Yudong’s anger.

  She only knew how to start fires, never how to put them out.

  Extinguishing the fire was a task left to Lu Yudong himself.

  "Is that why you came back?" Lu Yudong gritted his teeth.

  "Of course not..." Jiang Ci wanted to say it was just a coincidence, but before she could finish, Lu Yudong’s lips fiercely sealed hers.

  "No way!" Lu Yudong gave his answer before Jiang Ci could finish.

  Jiang Ci’s fighting spirit was completely extinguished.
