Chapter 2728: Chapter 2728: She’s Jealous! (13)

She was so frightened by his anger that she didn’t dare to speak.

That Mr. Zhong kept trying to introduce him to a girlfriend, and her attention was entirely on those women. How could she find the time to explain anything? Who knew he’d be this angry and chase her into the bathroom to lash out at her.

"..."

So, in the end, was he the one at fault?

Dan Tingye narrowed his mischievous eyes, wiping the tears from her face with long fingers. Looking at her tear-streaked little face, he roughly pulled her towards the lounge.

He washed her face clean, and at the same time, changed into a clean shirt himself.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to dirty your shirt." Meimei looked at his shirt, now resembling a pickled vegetable with its mottled tear and snot stains, it was really... hard to look at.

She fiddled with her fingers, cautiously looking up at him, afraid to upset him again.

"With me, you never need to say sorry." Dan Tingye threw the shirt to the side, frowning slightly at her apology.

"Then I’ll buy you a new shirt," Meimei quickly promised, raising her hand.

"You’ve grown more capable since childhood. You can now afford to buy me a shirt; back then, you only offered to wash them for me." As Dan Tingye spoke, his dark eyes glimmered with a nostalgic light.

Back then, all she saw was Tingye, no matter what he said or did, it was right in her eyes.

And now?

Even his approach would frighten her.

"I thought you might dislike it." Meimei looked at the shirt that was now dirty, stepped forward, picked it up, and hugged it to her chest, "I’ll return it to you after I wash it clean."

"..."

Dan Tingye looked at her, his thin lips moving slightly, "You barged into my office with a document, just to explain yesterday’s events to me?"

"..."

He had indeed seen through her!

Meimei awkwardly clenched the shirt in her hands; the once dirty shirt was now almost as crumpled as pickled vegetables from her wringing.

Meeting Dan Tingye’s probing gaze, she could only awkwardly nod in the end.

His question made her recall many things.

Her going to the Zhong family’s estate with Jiang Nan was an accident, but what about him?

What was he doing attending a matchmaking event?

No, it wasn’t a matchmaking event at all; it was more like a princess selection ceremony...

And today, seeing him enjoying coffee and pastries with Zhong Qing, even though she remembered he didn’t like sweets, he seemed so happy eating when Zhong Qing fed him.

Just thinking about it, her heart felt clogged!

The more Meimei thought about it, the angrier she got. She raised her little face, just about to question him, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stunned.

Was she... jealous?

Meimei’s eyes widened in an instant, looking at Dan Tingye in front of her. She couldn’t utter a single word, her gaze fixed on him, on his perfect face, and in the next moment, she panicked.

She clutched the shirt tightly, turned around, and ran out.

"Meimei..."

Dan Tingye reached out to grab her wrist, "What’s wrong?"

"Let go of me!" Meimei shook off his arm, as if encountering a plague, breaking free from his grip, and bolted outside.

She rushed into the elevator, her hands frantically pressing the elevator buttons, wanting nothing more than for the doors to close quickly, terrified that Dan Tingye might chase after her.

It wasn’t until the elevator doors closed that she slumped to the ground, exhausted, looking at her pale little face reflected in the smooth stainless steel of the elevator walls, her complexion ghostly pale.

Staring blankly at the shirt in her hands, his shirt.
