Chapter 207: 155 It seems like an old friend has returned, hitting me so hard that my heart aches_2

Qi Zeyan and his company were seated not in a private room but in a public area, separated by partitions that lent the space a tranquil air.

So when that person had left in a hurry, barely stepping out from the partition, she almost crashed into someone…

Instinctively, she stepped back, losing her balance and becoming slightly wobbly on her feet, but the person opposite reacted faster, stretching out a hand to grab her wrist.

The man’s palm was broad and strong, with fine calluses on the fingers, and radiating intense heat, gripping her wrist so tightly that it made her scalp tingle.

“I’m sorry,” she lowered her head and apologized first.

Above her head came a familiar low voice, “It’s alright.”

Perhaps because he was looking down at her, his voice seemed to surround her from all directions, enveloping her completely, invading her limbs and bones, as if pressing tightly against her ear, striking her eardrums and chest fiercely.

Her body jolted as if electrified, suddenly trembling, and as she abruptly looked up, she found herself lost in a pair of dark eyes.

It was as if his eyes contained the night…

Deep and impenetrable!

Her heart skipped a beat!

She felt her pupils dilate and, for a moment, it was as if even her breathing was no longer her own.

Their eyes met; no words were exchanged. She was looking at him, and Jiang Yanting was sizing her up.

She wore a fitted turtleneck, her slender neck gracefully arched as she looked up, her face familiar yet strange, like after a gentle rain gleamed a touch of affectionate color, fresh and radiant, with an irresistible charm.

It was as if, in an instant, cold moonlight and withered trees…

Were touched by a breeze that brought life to the quagmire, awakening all living things.

She twisted her wrist slightly, but his grip was tight, and she could not break free.
