In the brief silence that filled the room, suddenly a woman’s voice carried over.
"Hello, excuse me, is the tea room over there?" Ye Wanwan approached, carrying an empty cup in her hand, and pointed down the hallway as she asked the colleague closest to her.
Ye Wanwan had just eaten quite a bit of fruit and felt thirsty. Even after finishing a glass of water, she still felt parched, so she carried her cup out to refill it.
"Sorry for disturbing your work," Ye Wanwan said awkwardly. After all, even asking for directions to water seemed a trivial thing to bother someone with.
The female colleague she approached nodded and then shook her head urgently, "No, not at all! Mrs. Shen, the tea room is right over there, at the end of the hallway, that’s it."
This colleague’s calling her "Mrs. Shen" resounded in Fang Xian’s ears and rapidly blossomed in her heart.
Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen...
Was she Shen Yi’s wife?
A strange emotion surged up within Fang Xian in an instant.
"Mrs. Shen, let me take you there." Before she could even react, Fang Xian had already called out.
Ye Wanwan heard the voice, turned around subconsciously, and in the next instant, she was utterly dumbfounded.
With the sound of a "snap," the water cup that Ye Wanwan had been carrying fell and smashed to pieces in an instant.
Ye Wanwan, however, showed no reaction, as if her soul had left her body, leaving only a shell standing there, staring blankly at Fang Xian not too far away.
For a long time, she couldn’t snap back to reality.
A female colleague quickly came over to Ye Wanwan’s side, "Mrs. Shen, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?"
The colleague pulled Ye Wanwan backwards, away from the location riddled with glass shards.
Only then did Ye Wanwan suddenly come back to her senses. She looked at the colleague pulling her, then at the other office colleagues, and finally down at the glass shards on the floor.
Everything in front of her was so vividly real!
Ye Wanwan swallowed hard, her heart beginning to beat wildly, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.
The female colleague holding her quickly noticed Ye Wanwan’s abnormal state and urgently grasped her arm, trying to give her strength.
Ye Wanwan shook her head in panic, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "No, I’m fine."
"Mrs. Shen," the colleague frowned, noting Mrs. Shen’s pale complexion, which clearly didn’t look like someone who was ’fine.’
This time, Ye Wanwan ignored her, pushed the colleague’s hand away, and quickly turned around to retrace her steps, rushing back to Shen Yi’s office.
Once back in the office, Ye Wanwan was so scared that she locked the door behind her.
Ye Wanwan leaned against the door, slightly bent, breathing rapid. She could never have imagined encountering Fang Xian so unexpectedly!
Thinking of Fang Xian, Ye Wanwan couldn’t calm down at all. Any mental preparation she had made before seeing Fang Xian had vanished.
At this very moment, Ye Wanwan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, not knowing how to face Fang Xian.
When the "knock knock knock" on the door came, Ye Wanwan was startled.
"Mrs. Shen, are you there?" someone asked from the outside.
Ye Wanwan took a deep breath and tried to sound nonchalant, "Yes, I’m here."
