Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At first, Annie was hesitant. But upon hearing the last sentence, her feet instinctively went toward Chris.
Ye Sijue’s eyes twitched.
“Mo Xiaomeng!” he called out.
Annie stopped. She was afraid to look back at him.
Her voice trembled as she said, “Sorry, I have nothing to talk to you about.”
Ye Sijue looked at her as though she were a stranger.
Although the two hadn’t known each other for a long time, he had always thought that she was a girl who could be easily understood.
But in this moment, he felt that he couldn’t understand her.
Why would she treat him like this?
Things were going so well between them and they were quite close. How did she change so quickly.
Chris smiled elegantly and beckoned to Annie with his well-defined fingers. “Annie, come over here.”
Annie seemed to hesitate for two seconds before she finally walked toward Chris.
Ye Sijue’s fists were clenched tightly as his arms hung by his side.
When Annie walked up to him, Chris took her into his arms as though he were declaring something as he said to Ye Sijue, “Mr. Ye, it’s been great meeting you tonight, but Annie and I can’t stay too late. We have to go.”
With that said, Chris ceremonially nodded, holding Annie as they turned and walked toward Duke Berg.
Before they could leave they had to inform the host of the banquet first.
Annie’s back was stiff. She could clearly feel Ye Sijue’s gaze burning as he watched her from behind.
Chris leaned close to her ear. He smiled and said, “Relax. Don’t be so tense. People not in the know might misunderstand and think that I did something to you.”
His hand was stroking her back to calm her down.
“Chris…” Annie looked at him worriedly. Had he already figured it out?
Chris’s smiled faintly, shushed her, and said, “Let’s talk when we get back.”
Annie felt uneasy and instinctively turned back to look.
She saw Tian Yunxin walked up to Ye Sijue. Ye Sijue’s eyes were fixed on her. He didn’t look away. He reached out and put his arm over Tian Yunxin’s shoulder.
Tian Yunxin looked overwhelmed by the favor she was receiving.
Ye Sijue lowered his elegant face to her ear in a devilish manner and whispered something to her.
Tian Yunxin bashfully snuggled up to him.
From the beginning, Ye Sijue’s eyes had always been riveted on Annie. It was as if everything that he did was meant for her to see.
He was doing it deliberately.
But even if she knew that, seeing him holding another woman like that made Annie upset.
Ye Sijue’s eyes seemed to be telling her that if she dared to go with Chris, then he would…
What would he do?
Would he allow Secretary Tian to seduce him?
Annie remembered what Tian Yunxin had said with so much confidence, that if she was given the chance she would be able to make Ye Sijue surrender to her charm.
“Annie? What’s the matter?” Chris noticed something different with her. They stopped, and he looked at her worriedly. “Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling ill?”
Was she feeling ill?
Annie looked at Chris in a daze, her eyes were a little red.
She was feeling ill inside, very ill.
