Narcissism is a Disease, It Must Be Treated

Jiang Guo's eyebrows showed a hint of a cold smile. If it were Jiang Yuan, she would have no intention of accepting her apology so easily!

The doorbell continued to ring, but Jiang Guo ignored it.

She casually picked up a cup of coffee and let the aroma fill the entire living room.

Only then did she leisurely approach the door and say, "Who is it? So urgent, huh!"

Upon opening the door and seeing the visitor, Jiang Guo's expression froze, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Mr. Ji, why are you here?"

"Miss Jiang, good afternoon," Ji Yunchen nodded slightly and went straight to the point.

"I come here to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive the rashness of my friend. We will continue to cooperate in the future, and I hope this incident won't affect your mood."

As Ji Yunchen spoke, he took a box out of his pocket and opened it, revealing the Dream Crystal Collarbone Necklace inside.

Jiang Guo recognized this necklace was one of Eno's Sincere Collection which was worth hundreds of thousands. It was suitable for an apology.

However, Jiang Guo wasn't pleased at all.

The more sincere Ji Yunchen's apology, the more it indicated that Jiang Yuan held a significant place in his heart.

At the same time, it implied that her quest for revenge against Jiang Yuan would be more challenging.

A hint of gloom flashed in Jiang Guo's eyes. "Mr. Ji, it seems that you really like your fiancée, and you wouldn't even let her come and apologize for such a trivial matter, would you?"

"Jiang Yuan is not my fiancée; we are just friends."

"No need to explain your relationship with Jiang Yuan to me. It's none of my business. After all, as the CEO of Kai Tai, personally coming to apologize to me is my great honor."

With her words lacked sincerity, she continued to ask, "Mr. Ji, is there anything else? If not, please leave. I'll cook dinner later, so I won't invite you in for tea."

Regarding Ji Yunchen's explanation from earlier, Jiang Guo didn't believe it at all.

If Ji Yunchen truly regarded Jiang Yuan as just a friend, why would he go to such lengths to protect the Jiang Family?

Ji Yunchen furrowed and couldn't help but take a step forward. "What do you mean?"

At this moment, the distance between the two was so close that Jiang Guo could sense the masculine pheromones emanating from the man's body with just a light breath.

This scent made Jiang Guo uncontrollably recall the wild night from six years ago—the man's heavy breathing, perfect physique, and soft whispers to her.

Jiang Guo's heart fluttered, and she instinctively tried to step back, but her body behaved like that of a child learning to walk, stumbling backward uncontrollably.

"Careful!"

Ji Yunchen didn't expect his casual gesture to make Jiang Guo so flustered.

He quickly took a step forward and reached out to grab her.

Due to inertia, he inadvertently pulled Jiang Guo into his embrace.

Jiang Guo immediately pushed Ji Yunchen away and cleared her throat to dispel the awkwardness.

"Thank you for helping just now. Regarding the incident at noon today, let's consider it settled. As long as Jiang Yuan doesn't trouble me in the future, I'll pretend it didn't happen."

This statement indicated that she wanted to put this matter behind her.

Ji Yunchen tactfully initiated the conversation. "In that case, let's discuss the contract in detail after we go to the company tomorrow. I won't disturb your rest today."

"Wait!"

Ji Yunchen was about to turn around, but Jiang Guo suddenly took a step forward and held his face with both of her hands.

Ji Yunchen's face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Miss Jiang, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Jiang Guo wasn't in the mood to answer Ji Yunchen's question.

She glanced at the elevator behind the man and noticed Yi Yao, who was just coming out with Jiang Xiaobei and Jiang Xiaobao.

She signaled for Yi Yao to leave quickly.

Knowing that, Yi Yao, along with Jiang Xiaobei and Jiang Xiaobao, had entered the elevator again, Jiang Guo's tense nerves finally relaxed.

It was so close. If Ji Yunchen had seen Jiang Xiaobao, it would have been a disaster.

The thought of Ji Yunchen finding out who she really was made her nervous.

After all, she had returned to China this time to seek revenge on Jiang Yuan, not to get entangled with Ji Yunchen.

Jiang Guo regained her composure and let go of Ji Yunchen with a wry smile. "Mr. Ji, I'm sorry. I thought there was something on your head just now, so I..."

The man interrupted her with a stern expression, "Do you think I would believe such a lousy excuse?"

Jiang Guo, "..."

The man lowered his gaze again, and his deep pupils revealed a hint of obscurity. "Or are you trying to use this excuse to get closer to me?"

Jiang Guo's face instantly turned darker. "Mr. Ji, narcissism is a disease, and it needs to be treated!"

Ji Yunchen's gaze was heavy as he observed Jiang Guo's eyes, and he confirmed that she wasn't lying.

Only then did he speak, "I hope Miss Jiang isn't lying. After all, we'll have a lot of chances to meet and talk to once you join. I don't want to work with someone who's only focused on romance. It would be quite troublesome."

Ji Yunchen actually thought she liked him!

Jiang Guo's face grew even darker. She was about to retort, but an angry shout echoed suddenly, "What are you two doing?"

Jiang Guo raised her eyes and saw Jiang Yuan approaching from not far away. Jiang Yuan's face was dark and her gaze fixed on her.

Jiang Guo sneered. Under Jiang Yuan's jealous and disbelieving gaze, she quietly moved closer to Ji Yunchen. As long as it made Jiang Yuan unhappy, she would be happy.

Jiang Yuan sensed Jiang Guo's provocation. She clenched her fists, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

On the side, Ji Yunchen hadn't anticipated Jiang Yuan's arrival. He furrowed and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"

"Today, due to my actions, there was a problem with the cooperation between Kai Tai and Miss Caroline. I felt guilty about it, so I had someone investigate Caroline's address and come here to apologize."

With Ji Ming almost being kidnapped yesterday and the conflict with Caroline this morning, these two incidents in succession seriously affected her impression of Ji Yunchen's heart.

To prevent Ji Yunchen from truly growing tired of her, she had to display her most sincere apology.

She suppressed the cold killing intent within her, lowered her gaze, and spoke timidly, "Miss Caroline, I'm really sorry for what happened this morning. I hope you can forgive me. As long as you can forgive me, I'm willing to kneel down if necessary!"
