C18 Gentle and Forceful

It was the only thing she had heard all night.

Despair accompanied by cold air assaulted her. Her vision was blurry in her dreams, just like it had been in the past. She vaguely felt him loosen his grip and take a tissue from the coffee table to help her wipe her tears. His fair fingers repeatedly touched her cheeks...

He was gentle and forceful.

He was the victor who stood high above others. What he did was only pity for the weak.

At this moment, his touch and aura made her resist to the extreme! Hence, she pushed him away with all her strength and shouted in despair, "Li Beichen, let go of me!"

"Let go..."

Anger rose to the extreme and Mu Yao suddenly woke up from her nightmare. The broken hair on her forehead was already wet with sweat. Fortunately, it was just a dream. She just needed to wake up. She didn't have to struggle so hard like six years ago!

However, in reality, Li Beichen still came to this city...

What did she do?

She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

The next morning, Mu Yao walked out the door with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. Her face was also sickly white. The weather in City C was not considered cold yet, but she wore a hat and scarf and wrapped herself tightly.

The reason was simple: she did not want to meet him by chance! If he did not know that she was in this city, he would not look for her.

"Mu Yao, you have a cold?" The project manager was quite concerned about her appearance, "You wear so many clothes and you look terrible!"

"No." Mu Yao took off her scarf and hat when she arrived at the office. She smiled at him, "I'm just a little cold."

"That's good! We set up three advertising modes and are going to the SL Company to discuss it today. The group is short of people, so you can go with them." So there was a reason for his concern. We will leave in half an hour. Get ready. "

"But I don't know anything about advertising!" Mu Yao hesitated. She was just a legal worker. Contracts were her specialty.

"Who asked you to show off? You just went to make up the numbers. " The project manager ignored her hesitation. He waved his hand and said, "When the time comes, you can sit in the corner. You don't need to say anything."

"Alright then."

The project team indeed needed to "make up the numbers. Today, several visual designers applied for leave. In the end, the SL Company discussed the project. Including Mu Yao, there were only four people in total. The project manager took the lead, the other two professionals sat on both sides, and Mu Yao chose a corner to stay in.

Mu Yao did not need to bring any documents for such a meeting, so she only stuffed an umbrella into her small bag.

When she saw the president of SL Company later, she would return the umbrella to him and say thank you to him face to face.

Not long after they waited in the meeting room, they heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside. Mu Yao raised her head and saw the door of the meeting room being pushed open. A familiar face in formal attire appeared in her line of sight.
