Chapter 337: No regrets
Leaving her office, Jiang Xingyu almost couldn’t resist the temptation of going back. He forced himself to press the down button of the elevator. It was already hard to stay away, and when he heard her footsteps as she left her office, he was on the verge of losing it.
The elevator finally arrived just when he was on edge and he dashed in. Just as he was about to let out a breath, she got in as well.
It was the elevator meant for the executive employees so she had the right to use it, and it would have been impractical for her to wait all that while simply because he was there. It was just the two of them and he hoped for it to remain that way. Still, he didn’t know whether her presence made him elated or uncomfortable.
Noticing her reflection in the mirrored wall, he realized that she was busy on her phone—or pretending to be busy so it wouldn’t be awkward.
His gaze trailed downwards and unconsciously rested on her belly. His lips moved but before he spoke, the elevator pinged its arrival on the ground floor.
She left in slow steps and so did he. He knew she was afraid to speak to him. He wanted to say something but different things kept coming up just as he opened his mouth, and in the end, she entered her car.
He watched the car leave and so badly wanted to curse the employee who had bumped into him, the young woman who had annoyingly stopped him simply to say hello, and his assistant who had called him—all at the wrong moment.
He let out a long sigh.
If fate hadn’t drawn them apart, he would have asked how she was doing. Was she finding it hard to cope? If she was, was there anything he could do to help? Most importantly, could they still keep a positive relationship between them?
He couldn’t live without her. Heaven knew he had tried—but it was killing him.
He knew he was being selfish but he wanted to be by her side even if she no longer liked him. If she didn’t want him to be her boyfriend, he could be her friend, or a close acquaintance, or a supportive business partner—anything but the cold war they were in right now.
