Chapter 306: 0306 Do not show up in front of me easily Chapter 306: 0306 Do not show up in front of me easily He crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then patted his face and pulled out a smile in the mirror.
The smile was dashing and poised, yet it concealed a trace of desolation.
Shaking his head, he put on a cheerful facade again and walked out of the restroom.
Just as he turned the corner, Ye Zhichen saw a tall and straight figure in the corridor.
The man leaned against the wall, seemingly having waited for a long time; under the bright lights, his back was rigid, his hands casually tucked into his suit pockets, emanating an easy indolence and a unique charm.
Ye Zhichen had a moment of stupefaction, really just a moment, and the next second, he averted his gaze and calmly walked forward.
Chi Mu, sensing someone’s presence, slowly shifted his deep black pupils to the corner of his eyes and saw the familiar figure walk straight past him without pausing.
Not even a surplus glance was bestowed upon him.
This woman is getting bolder by the day!
As Ye Zhichen was about to walk past him completely, Chi Mu’s tall figure suddenly straightened from the wall, took a slight step, and his strong arm reached out fiercely to grab Ye Zhichen’s arm.
Ye Zhichen felt the world spinning, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself pressed against a cold wall.
The man’s face was close enough to breathe on her, making his warm breath spray on her face.
Ye Zhichen’s eyelashes trembled slightly, then she looked up at him, her smile unfading, devoid of any surplus emotions.
“President Chi, is there something you need?”
Her two words were spoken with insouciance, indifferent, yet they seemed to add a deeper chill to Chi Mu’s already gloomy eyes.
His long fingers pinched her soft, pale jaw, the force involuntarily tightening; Ye Zhichen frowned slightly, pursing her lips tightly, not allowing herself to make any sound, she had no desire to show weakness in front of this man.
“Wouldn’t dare? What is there that Ye Zhichen wouldn’t dare do?”
His voice was low and hoarse, with an extreme loathing that caused a barely perceptible tremor in Ye Zhichen’s eyes.
The dark gaze swept over her tightly closed lips, as deep as the pitch-black night outside, void of any light. He stared at her, but there was not a trace of humor in his eyes.
Ye Zhichen lowered her gaze as if deep in thought, and after a long silence, she laughed, “Hmm… there are so many things, I suppose. Why, President Chi, have you suddenly taken an interest in me?”
Chi Mu narrowed his eyes, staring at her with a grim and chill presence, where cold desolation lingered in his handsome eyes; his face bore a smile wrought with boundless irony.
“Interested in you? You think too highly of yourself!”
His airy tone was full of scorn, and Ye Zhichen, believing herself to be strong, was easily wounded by his cold look and disdainful words.
She thought, it wasn’t that she was too fragile, but that the man before her was exceptionally heartless.
Slowly lifting her head, she suppressed all the emotions in her eyes, her gaze flickering over his hand still gripping her arm as she raised an eyebrow.
“If that’s the case, could you kindly let go of me, President Chi?”
Chi Mu’s brows furrowed, his expression quickly darkening, and his grip tightened uncontrollably.
It seemed as if a thought occurred to him, his eyes darkened, and the smirk on his lips took on a chilling flavor.
“Did I ever tell you not to appear before me so carelessly?”
