Chapter 719: [Yan Jian Extra] 18. How is it possible? At this moment, there is actually a faint heartbeat_2

He absolutely would not let her have the slightest opportunity to think that he was so eagerly anticipating meeting her...

.

Standing at the entrance of the studio, he raised his wrist to check his watch. The luminous hands pointed to six o’clock.

There were still four hours between now and the curfew time at her house, which was ten o’clock.

Although these four hours were much shorter compared to the "entire night" that was originally agreed upon in his contract, which he wanted.

It was even half the time she had promised him, saying, "Guaranteed for eight hours." Yet, he strangely felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Thinking this, the satisfaction unconsciously crept up to the corners of his lips. With this faint smile, he raised his hand to knock on the door.

He restrained himself to knock just three times and then lowered his hand, giving her time to prepare herself.

Waiting in the night, he somewhat ruefully thought that his own cheerful knocking sound would fall on her ears with a drastically different impact: at this moment, inside the door, she must be trembling suddenly, then frantically looking at the door, with only one thought in her mind—wanting to turn into a little mouse and escape through the hole in the corner of the wall.

He felt a bit disconsolate at heart, but at the thought of her turning into a little mouse, he couldn’t help but smile.

With such complex emotions, he finally heard footsteps from inside the door, and the door soon opened.

She stood in the backlight in the doorway, her small face only as big as a palm. Her face was snow-white, her black and white eyes were distinct, but her cherry lips were as red as blood.

He wasn’t surprised, yet a sigh surged up in his heart.

In her eyes, he was always the devil.

But he could only... or dare only, approach her with the devil’s face, the devil’s behavior, and the devil’s heart.

.

What surprised Yan Jian was that after he came in, he didn’t rush toward her; instead, he seemed more interested in the studio. After casting her a glance as the door opened, he walked leisurely past her into the studio, inspecting everywhere.

He carefully looked over her desk, and even picked up her design drafts, examining them one by one. Finally, he took off his calfskin gloves, held them securely in his palm, and then leisurely climbed the stairs to Catherine’s office on the second floor to have a look as well.

After exiting Catherine’s office, he stood by the railing on the second floor, looking down at her with an imperious gaze.

Yan Jian’s heart strangely started to flutter again: once more, she couldn’t figure out his motives.

She took a deep breath, reminding herself to stay calm, and looked up quietly from downstairs to meet his deep blue eyes.

Whatever he intended to do, he would reveal it eventually. No need to rush, just wait.

Their eyes met at a distance, and he lightly curled his lips: "I thought Catherine was just engaging in some light-hearted activities and didn’t expect this design to achieve much. However, now I must admit, I underestimated her. Although this is just a studio and not your final products, purely from the design, structure, and atmosphere of this studio, it’s already on par with the studios of many international fashion giants." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He paused and then slowly said while gazing at her: "Working here with her doesn’t only mean facing the hostility you once worried about, you can also benefit from it. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can temporarily let go of hostility and defensiveness and first see the positive side of this opportunity."

.

His voice lingered slowly in the loft space. The tone was not high, yet it revealed an undeniable authority.

Yan Jian squinted at him, and couldn’t help but feel a question rising in her heart, wanting to burst out and ask him.

—So, was this fourth night not about that unspeakable agreement between them, but him coming to give her a lecture on life skills and success?

She let out a light snort, turned away, and only looked towards the workbench.

"There’s no need for you to defend your girlfriend so much. I can still distinguish the priorities in this matter. Even though Catherine has animosity towards me, and she definitely has her own motives for deliberately seeking my collaboration, it can’t be denied that she is an international supermodel, with extremely rich personal experience in the fashion design industry, bringing with her the latest ideas in the fashion circle, and the studio she establishes is undoubtedly on par with any designer’s quality."

"Although I don’t like becoming a thorn in someone’s side, constantly waiting to be plotted against; when I see something worth investing the price to gain from, I will still throw myself into it wholeheartedly."
