Chapter Sixty-One: Three Months

Facing Jiang Yang's speechless silence, Liang Xiaoying cried as she walked directly past him. However, her pace slowed down slightly, as if she were waiting for something.

Recovering his senses, Jiang Yang turned around, grabbed her hand again, and said, "Sister Xiaoying, trust me. Give me some time, and I will completely draw a clear line between that woman and myself. Only then can we truly be together, okay?"

Liang Xiaoying stopped crying. "Can you tell me what kind of relationship you really have with that woman?"

"She... deceived my feelings, nothing more." Jiang Yang was unwilling to explain any further. In truth, even now, he could not explain it clearly to himself.

"Alright, I believe you, but don't make me wait too long. We can no longer afford to wait between us," Liang Xiaoying said with a heavy tone, and then turned and left.

Watching her all the way until she entered the building where Sunshine Capital was located, Jiang Yang finally turned around and headed back to the company.

At this moment, his heart was filled with anger. Wang Ruolan—that woman—had clearly just deliberately sabotaged the relationship between Sister Xiaoying and himself.

While she claimed with her lips that she didn't care about him, she had set up roadblocks for him everywhere in his life.

In the past, it was installing hidden cameras at home for surveillance; now, this cage-like control over his life was simply more unbearable than any camera.

Today, he had to find her and demand a clear answer. What on earth did she want to do to him? He absolutely could not let her continue to manipulate him like this!

Returning to the company, he marched straight toward Ruolan's office.

The door to the general manager's office was tightly shut. He didn't even bother to knock this time, pushing the door open and walking right in.

Ruolan was reading a document at that moment. Seeing him enter, she quickly closed the document and placed it into a drawer beside her.

Still sitting in her executive chair, she said coldly, "Director Jiang, why didn't you knock?"

Jiang Yang slammed the door shut behind him, strode over to the large desk, pressed his hands down on the surface, leaned over, and interrogated her, "Wang Ruolan, didn't you say you wouldn't interfere with me dating other women? What was the meaning of your stunt today?!"

Ruolan rose from her chair, slowly walked up to him, and said, "Did I interfere with you having dinner with your aunt today? Not at all. Didn't I even say that if she wants to come, she's welcome every day?"

"You!" Jiang Yang pointed at her, grinding his teeth as he spoke, "Then why did you deliberately provoke her?"

Ruolan suddenly burst into a bright, giggling laugh, laughing so hard she could barely stand straight. "Did I provoke her? Tell me, which sentence of mine provoked her?"

Not only did I not provoke her, but I also showed great respect for you as her elder. Everyone in the company heard it. Go ask around, where did I provoke her?"

"Wang Ruolan!" Jiang Yang roared. He had been completely provoked. "Isn't this what you want? You don't need to torture me by playing games. I'll satisfy you right now!"

He brutally grabbed her shoulders and shoved her to the side. She let out a dainty moan and tumbled onto the sofa nearby.

Jiang Yang began unbuttoning his shirt. He could no longer hold back; he just wanted to teach this perverted woman a thorough lesson right now!

He lunged at her on the sofa, determined to vent all the pent-up frustration from these past few days fiercely upon her body!

However, his entire body suddenly froze mid-air!

Ruolan lifted one leg and pressed the heel of her high heel directly against his chest!

"Director Jiang, if you dare take one more step forward, I'll scream! I'll tell everyone you're trying to rape me and let the police handle it."

The sharp high heel pressed against his chest, sending a faint tingling sensation through him.

That beautiful leg, encased in silk stockings, had clearly visible veins. Once upon a time, it was something he could toy with at will, but now it had transformed into a lethal weapon pressing firmly against his chest.

What shocked Jiang Yang even more was that, despite being shoved onto the sofa by him, a flush of excitement had already spread across Ruolan's face, yet the words coming out of her mouth were threats to call the police.

"Do I need to repeat myself? Please control yourself; we are merely colleagues," Ruolan said as her high heel slowly rose, the sharp tip coming to rest directly against Jiang Yang's throat.

From this angle, her curvaceous body looked even more alluring and provocative. Yet, she deliberately made it so that Jiang Yang could see her, but couldn't touch her.

With a forceful shove of her foot, she pushed Jiang Yang back a step. "What on earth do you want from me? How long do you plan to play this game? Can't you just let me go?"

Ruolan lowered her mesmerizingly long legs, sat up straight on the sofa again, smoothed out her clothes, and brushed back her slightly disheveled hair. "You are my design director, after all. If I lose you, what will happen to my company?"

"Why does it have to be me? Can't you hire someone else? Or, you could just bring back Director Zhao."

Ruolan stepped in her high heels and slowly walked up to him. As she helped him button his shirt back up, she said softly, "No, you're much better to use than anyone else."

"Better to use? Do you take me for your plaything?"

"Director Jiang, what kind of talk is that? I merely view you as my fine employee. Please don't overthink things. Just focus on your work, and I won't treat you unfairly."

Once she finished buttoning his shirt, Ruolan straightened his collar, looking exactly like his gentle wife from the past.

The flush on her face had yet to fade, making her already enchanting appearance look even more like a born succubus.

"Give me a timeline. I want to leave this place. The moment you find someone to replace this position, let me go."

"You want to leave?" Ruolan frowned.

"Didn't you say I'm an employee of the company? I want to resign. As long as you let me leave, I'll agree to anything."

Jiang Yang only wanted to escape the clutches of this witch as quickly as possible, but he felt as though the harder he struggled, the tighter she bound him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Ruolan gazed intently at him from close range. Her eyes were filled with hunger, yet she was desperately restraining herself.

She suddenly broke into a sweet smile. "Of course. How about this—I promise you, within three months, I will find someone to take over your position as design director. When that time comes, if you want to resign, you can leave whenever you like. Satisfied?"

Her smile at this moment made Jiang Yang feel a bit frightened, but he had no choice other than to temporarily believe her. Moreover, he had to figure out a way to fight back and not allow this woman to manipulate him so willfully anymore.

"Fine. Thank you, President Wang. I'll head out to work now." He turned and walked toward the door, eager to escape this suffocating room for some fresh air.

"Hold on!" Ruolan called out to him again.

Jiang Yang paused his steps. "Does President Wang have any other arrangements?"

"I poured out all of Aunt's food. I had the housekeeper wash the lunchbox, and you can return it to her later."

At that moment, Jiang Yang once again felt an intense impulse to pin her down on the sofa and teach her a harsh lesson for two whole hours.
