Chapter 275 - Selena Tang (13) (2/2)

The girl opened her eyes and stared blankly at him before examining her condition. For a brief while, relief crossed her face. However, the frost that was originally in it returned.

Her cold eyes were affixed on him when she steadied her gait and said, ”Release me.”

'May I not?' His mind answered subconsciously.

'Do you know hard it is to find you?'

While he had some complaints in mind, he couldn't violate his character setting and thus albeit reluctant within, he showed a polite smile and then did as she said.

In front of them, separated by the round table was Tang Jingyi, who then spoke to him, ”Mr. Jiang! You're back.”

Jiang Li smiled at him and said, ”Sorry, I took long. I received a call from a collab partner.”

The explanation was nothing but an excuse. The man just now was planning to make the agent wait indefinitely there for somebody not returning. Only, the appearance of the woman made him change his mind and go back.

Yeah, without discerning how close and related these two were, how could he be impolite to a future cousin-in-law?

The shameless man's reply earned a nod from Tang Jingyi. ”I see. It's okay.”

The latter then joined the assistant in asking if the girl was alright. Jiang Li found the woman glaring coldly at him, making him cough awkwardly.

”Miss?” he asked, making his act of looking down to the wet and stained part of his clothes as natural as possible.

”Shouldn't you apologize, sir?” It was the assistant who said that.

Jiang Li blinked in confusion and exchanged glances with the agent who looked nervously at them. After a couple of moments, he moved his gaze back to the girl and saw that she was staring the same at him.

”Sir, I'm waiting.” After a minute-long staring contest, the woman said.

Jiang Li played innocent. ”I admit I have some fault in the matter. However, isn't the bigger fault with you, miss? I didn't know you would suddenly turn around. On my part, I was simply returning to my seat.”

The temperature in the room seemingly lowered when the woman's gaze darkened. The man was simply insinuating it was her fault? That she was the stupid one?

Hah, that wouldn't sit well with her.

”How would I know you would also suddenly bump into from behind? Huh?” Coldly and full of thorns, she 'reasoned' out. Her voice and tone especially sounded low.

She quickly added after making a face as if she suddenly grasped something, ”Oh, so you don't have eyes? And you expect me to have a pair on my back so I'll know an idiot like you will run into me?”

The one called an idiot was speechless.

A moment later, she crossed her arm and looked up at him condescendingly, ”Come on. Throw at me your next excuse.”
