100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 575: There Must Be a Problem with the Way of Thinking

She had applied soft, subtle makeup today, and her usually updo hair now cascaded down her back, its light chestnut curls natural and spread across her entire back, making her look less aloof and indifferent, but rather radiant, beautiful, and tenderly charming.

While Tang Yu was lost in thought, Leng Jing’s face was only a few centimeters away from his.

Then, she slightly tiptoed...

What... what exactly was she trying to do?

His Adam’s apple bobbed several times, sweat beads slowly formed on his forehead, fists clenched tightly, wanting to say something, to question her, but fearful of scaring her away, all his words stuck in his throat. Tang Yu was so nervous he nearly suffocated!

In the end, Leng Jing finally leaned slightly toward him, extended one hand to reach past him, and pulled a book from the bookshelf behind him...

"May I borrow this book?" she asked.

Tang Yu felt completely drained and deflated.

With that simple gesture, Leng Jing had confirmed her influence over Tang Yu. At least, he wasn’t completely indifferent to her, was he?

She couldn’t help but recall how he had clung to her when he’d first come to, and the hopeful look in his eyes before he left with Xie Anan, thinking she was his girlfriend, as well as his disappointment and dejection upon seeing her detachment...

Thus, since that time, Leng Jing started to use similar little tricks quite cleverly, and poor Tang Yu nearly went mad from the pressure in the days that followed!

Why did these simple, even careless little things always set his heart fluttering?

He even had the illusion that Leng Jing was deliberately seducing him...

However, as soon as Tang Yu entertained this thought, he dismissed it. There must be something wrong with the way I think, it must be!

Such a thing was absolutely impossible!

Naturally, Xie Anan sensed Tang Yu’s agitation over the past several days, and, considering herself and him allies, Tang Yu unguardedly told her everything.

"That day in the office, she came close suddenly just to get a book; in the canteen, when she picked out the celery from my food and ate it, I just told myself she liked celery; when she came to clean my room on the weekend and rummaged through my stuff, asking if I was living with you, I assumed it was accidental, but... but..."

Tang Yu’s cheeks flushed, grateful it was a phone call and Xie Anan couldn’t see, "But, you know what? Just now she came asking me to go on a business trip to City C with her. Let’s just assume she really can’t handle the case on her own! But we had already agreed earlier in front of me that this trip was just for signing a document and having a meal. I can’t deceive myself anymore... do you think my approach is beginning to work?"

Listening to Tang Yu articulate his feelings for Leng Jing word by word, and the sweetness between the lines, Xie Anan grew paler and with an unnatural attempt at humor, she said, "Impossible, you must be fantasizing about her all on your own!"

Tang Yu buried his head in his office desk, aimlessly ruffling his hair, and gave a wry smile, "That’s what I thought too, but I seem to be getting sicker and sicker lately!"

After work that evening, Xie Anan immediately went to Tang Yu’s company.

Leng Jing was coming out from the inside, and Xie Anan quickly stepped forward to block her path.

"Is there something you need?" Leng Jing asked, seeing her.

Xie Anan’s gaze was icy, brimming with anger, "Leng Jing, what are you trying to do?"

Leng Jing: "What do you mean?"

Xie Anan: "You know exactly what you’ve been doing!"
