Chapter 2756: Chapter 2756: The Sudden Truth (12)

Dan Tingye’s nerves tightened, and almost instinctively, he turned around and swiftly blocked the safe, reaching out to press the switch.

In no time, the entire row of wooden sculptures that had just been in front of him disappeared from sight.

His enchanting face couldn’t hide the tension, as if his secrets were being peered into.

Seeing Meimei walking in from the door, he took a deep breath and looked at Yao, "What’s going on with the secretariat? Is it that now anyone can enter the CEO’s office without being announced?"

"I was afraid you wouldn’t see me, so I forced my way in. It’s not Mr. Yao’s and Secretary Lin’s fault. If you want to scold someone, scold me," Meimei’s petite figure stepped forward, glanced at Dan Tingye, but her gaze fell on his bookshelf.

Even though she was standing at the door just now, she still saw that it seemed like something was hidden on his bookshelf, but the safe had closed too fast, and she couldn’t see clearly.

Meimei bit her lip, lifted her head to look at him, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

It felt like a cat was scratching at her heart, and her intuition told her that whatever was inside had something to do with her, otherwise, Tingye wouldn’t have been so anxious to close the safe upon seeing her, and wouldn’t have been shouting at Mr. Yao.

"It’s my fault. I will go and accept punishment now." Yao respectfully bowed slightly, glanced at the two of them, and then turned to leave the office.

In the spacious office, only Dan Tingye and Meimei were left.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant.

They just stared at each other, neither speaking, with a faint hint of something eerie yet sweet lingering in the air.

"You’re getting bolder, daring to talk back to me. Are you sure I won’t scold you?" Dan Tingye stepped forward, reached out to rub her little head, and Meimei’s face immediately turned red as she lowered her head.

"I didn’t. You’ve scolded me before." When he scolded her, he was so fierce, even telling her not to touch him.

Meimei took a step back, avoiding his hand, her large, glistening eyes showing a hint of concern.

"I searched for Jiang Nan all day yesterday but couldn’t find him. He didn’t come to work today either. I’m worried about him. Someone saw him enter the Dan Group, but he was in your office."

As Meimei spoke, she turned her head, looked around his office, and didn’t see Jiang Nan, biting her lip in disappointment.

She had never seen Jiang Nan so angry before. He just turned and left that day. She had been looking for him since then, but couldn’t find him, and didn’t know how he had been these past few days.

And also, what did he mean by what he said that day? She didn’t understand a single word...

Meimei couldn’t help but tap her head lightly. She thought she was so stupid. If she were a little smarter, she might have known why Jiang Nan was angry, and at least she could apologize to him.

"Did you disregard the secretary’s interception just to barge in and find me, all because of Jiang Nan?" Dan Tingye looked at her with tight eyes, his gaze revealing a touch of intrigue, staring unblinkingly at Meimei.

He wanted to know if her concern for Jiang Nan was due to habit or something else.

"... I’ve already apologized. Besides, it wasn’t just me who made Jiang Nan angry that day. You are also responsible. Aren’t you worried about Jiang Nan at all?"

Meimei met his deep black eyes and took two steps back in fear.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Tingye’s recent gaze at her was like a wolf’s, wanting to devour her alive.
