Fainted for a moment

  Jiang Tiankuai still sat coldly on the sofa, staring at a point of starry sky outside the window, his stiff face revealing no expression.

  Dong Ying slightly turned her head and saw Tang Ke Xin shrinking by the door, her face trembling, her eyes revealing a frightened expression, not daring to take another step inside. She stretched out her hands and said softly: "Come in..."

  Tang Ke Xin was slightly pushed by Dong Ying, and she had no choice but to walk into the luxurious and fashionable office with a weak pace. She gradually moved forward, holding her breath, passing by Jiang Tian Kuai's side, seeing his profile, still icy cold, with a gleam of displeasure in his eyes. Her heart suddenly felt a chill, and she quickly lowered her head, accompanied by Dong Ying, her expression trembling, frightened and uneasy as she arrived before him...

  Jiang Tiankuai's facial expression remained tense, gazing out at the dark night sky outside the window, with waves of cold wind sweeping across his hard facial features.

  Tang Ke Xin stood in front of him, not daring to move, his eyelids fluttering up and down with tension, his breathing becoming more and more rapid...

  Dong Ying felt the heavy atmosphere between them, didn't dare to speak again, silently lowered her head and quietly walked out, closing the door behind her.

  Tang Ke Xin's heart turned cold.

  Jiang Tiankuai finally raised his eyelids, gazing at her coldly. He noticed she was wearing a hotel uniform, her whole body trembling from the earlier fright, her face pale, with cold sweat beading on her forehead. Her smooth short hair was wet and stuck to the left side of her face. Those big eyes were flashing restlessly, shrinking in a way that made people feel pitiful. His brow furrowed as he recalled three years ago - that delicate little face, those lively big eyes always exuding an air of submission, smiling complacently, so full of youthful vitality. He raised his head slightly again, looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, filled with doubt.

  Tang Ke Xin's eyes welled up with tears, a few crystal clear droplets hanging from the corners of her eyes, revealing a desolate and hopeless air!

  Jiang Tiankuai still stared at her tightly.

  Tang Ke Xin's eyes turned sour, and she helplessly blinked her eyes lightly, with tears rolling down.

  Jiang Tiankuang's eyes flashed, and he stood up slowly, standing in front of her, lowering his head to look at her downcast face, the trembling expression, amidst the black hair, occasionally catching a glimpse of a pink scar on her left cheek. His left index finger moved slightly, staring intently at the scar on her left cheek, slowly raising his hand, hovering in front of her face, reaching out to her left cheek, his fingertips almost touching her moist hair...

  Tang Ke Xin took a step back in fear and self-abasement, her eyes flashing chaotically, tears rolling down one by one.

  Jiang Tiankuai glanced at her and then put on an attitude, coldly stretching out his hand to touch the scar on his left cheek.

  Tang Ke Xin turned her face away, suppressing her sorrow, and refused his touch.

  Jiang Tiankuai's face stiffened, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, thrusting it into her waist, pulling her into his own hard-as-iron embrace. He was about to stretch out his hand again to brush away the hair from her left cheek...

  A small hand grasped his sturdy wrist!

  Jiang Tiankuai lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her painful and desolate expression without making a sound.

  Tang Ke Xin's tears continued to roll down, looking at him, still tightly grasping his wrist!!

  Jiang Tiankuang's eyes flashed tyrannically and coldly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to swiftly lift up her left cheek's wet hair, revealing a palm-sized pink scar, tightly attached to that originally delicate, flower-like small face. Those bright big eyes welled up with tears, falling onto the uneven scars, tracing lines of sorrow!!

  Tang Ke Xin struggled weakly, and then lay there with her face upturned, letting the scars be exposed in front of Jiang Tian Kuai, and burst into a sorrowful and desperate wail!!

  Jiang Tiankuai's eyes flashed with heat, and he quickly blinked, looking at Tang Kexin crying so desperately and miserably. He thought of the night three years ago when he left her alone on the road, thinking of that rainy afternoon. His gaze flashed again, looking at her painful expression, and he slowly opened his mouth to ask: "When did it happen?"

  Tang Ke Xin pushed away Jiang Tian Kui and continued to stroke her left cheek, sobbing painfully...

  "What time is it!" Jiang Tiankuai suddenly rushed forward again, holding her tightly in his arms, roughly scratching the hair on her left cheek, and angrily commanding: "What time is it!"

  "Three years ago..." Tang Ke Xin choked with sobs, recalling that terrifying night, still as fearful as the dark abyss of ice-cold horror. She trembled with fear and tears, saying: "After we broke up... there were so many terrifying men, holding knives and sulfuric acid, aiming at me. I struggled desperately, I begged for mercy, but they still destroyed my face!!"

  Jiang Tiankuang's eyes flashed quickly, his face slightly changed...

  Tang Ke Xin spoke of painful past, tears streaming down her face, weakly leaning into his arms, gradually sliding down to sit at his feet, continuing to cry and beg: "I really didn't mean to, I wasn't intentionally trying to enter your hotel, nor was I intentionally trying to make what happened earlier happen. I just wanted to find a job, a daytime job where I could see the sunlight, not spend my whole day hiding in a cold warehouse, waiting for life to rot away!! Forgive me!! I'm sorry to you!! Please forgive me!! Even if you hate me a thousand times over, despise me, please, I beg of you, spare the person who took me in... I beg of you..."

  Jiang Tiankuai remained silent, gritting his teeth, recalling the night three years ago, her standing alone on the road in the rearview mirror...

  Tang Ke Xin continued to lean against his leg, crying and saying: "I originally thought that hiding in the wine water, I could see a little sunlight projected from outside the window, and do this job with peace of mind. Every day, I would carefully wash the cups, dry them clean, and put them on the cup rack, thinking that they had once been filled with red wine, and I was content...I really didn't ask for much...I didn't...I really wasn't intentional, I really wasn't...Sorry...sorry..." Tian Jiang Yi was anxious.

  Jiang Tiankuai didn't want to listen anymore, quickly turned around, sat back on the sofa, and remained silent with a cold face!

  Tang Ke Xin lifted her tearful eyes, looking at Jiang Tian Kuai's still emotionless expression. She hastily went in front of him again, stretched out her trembling hands, grasped his arm and pleaded: "I beg of you, don't blame Manager and Ya Hui, everything is my fault, they just pitied me and sympathized with me, that's why they wanted to help me..."

  Jiang Tiankuai's face turned away, his chest heaved slightly with agitation.

  "I'd die without regret, but please don't blame them! I've passed today, and will disappear automatically!! Forever and ever, I'll never appear in front of you again!!" Tang Ke Xin cried bitterly, begging for mercy while weeping.

  Jiang Tiankuai's facial expression was tense, he concentrated for a while, then suddenly leaned forward and pressed the hands-free button!

  The knock at the door sounded three times, and Dongying gently pushed open the door and entered. She raised her head, scanned the office, and saw Tang Kexin crying, before walking up to Jiang Tiankuai, lowering her head, and softly calling out: "President..."

  Jiang Tiankuai's face sank for a while before he said: "Prepare some snacks and hot milk to come in."

  Dong Ying immediately smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes!"

  She responded and immediately walked out of the office.

  Tang Ke Xin looked at Jiang Tian Kuai with tears in her eyes, unable to understand his meaning.

  Jiang Tiankuai took a deep breath and said impatiently: "Get away from me, go sit on the opposite side!"

  "Huh?" Tang Ke Xin was somewhat perplexed, looking at him.

  Jiang Tiankuai felt that as soon as he approached this person, he had an unbearable sense of impatience. He coldly turned his face and looked at those tearful big eyes, saying: "Go sit on the sofa opposite!!"

  Tang Ke Xin listened, blinked twice, and hastily stood up, took a step back, carefully walked to the sofa in front of Jiang Tian Kuai, sat down, slightly uneasily lifted her head, and looked at him...

  Jiang Tiankuai also sat on the sofa, looking at her with a bad temper for a while before saying: "You always surprise me, daring to do things that are even more reckless than a bear's gall."

  Tang Ke Xin didn't dare make a sound, lowered her head and wiped away the tears on her face.

  Jiang Tiankuai raised his eyelids and looked at her, recalling the girl who had smiled slyly in front of him three years ago...

  Tang Ke Xin felt someone was looking at him and lifted his head...

  Jiang Tiankuai slightly lowered his eyes and remained silent, ignoring her.

  The atmosphere is changing gradually.

  The doorbell rang.

  "Come in..." Jiang Tiankui responded.

  Dong Ying carefully carried in the milk and some exquisite small pastries, placed them on the tea table in front of the sofa, then bowed and left.

  Tang Ke Xin looked at the hot milk and delicious pastries in front of her, her big eyes blinked, so many things had happened today, she hadn't drunk a drop of water all day, she was really starving, she pursed her lips tightly and swallowed hard...

  Jiang Tiankuai continued to ignore her, instead stretching out his hand to pick up the milk on the tea table and taking a sip in front of Tang Ke Xin's wide eyes.

  Tang Ke Xin stared at this person for a moment, then lowered her head and didn't dare make a sound.

  Jiang Tiankui put down his cup and said, "Eat."

  Tang Ke Xin carefully lifted her head and looked at him.

  Jiang Tiankuai also raised his head and looked at her with an expression that said "if you don't eat it, I'll take it away".

  Tang Ke Xin had already stretched out her claws and snatched a swallow nest egg tart, looking at him with some surprise while eating the tart.

  Jiang Tiankuai looked at her with disdain, easy to change the mountains and rivers, but hard to move one's nature.

  Tang Ke Xin continued to stare at Jiang Tian Kuai in front of her, while trembling and stretching out her hand to grab another small piece of green tea cake, putting it into her mouth and starting to chew...

  Jiang Tiankuai looked at her for a while before finally saying: "Let's leave after we finish eating..."

  Tang Ke Xin listened and looked at him with a bit of fear, her hand holding the matcha cake dropping down.

  Jiang Tiankuai looked at her and said: "Let's finish eating and leave!!"

  Tang Ke Xin's eyes dimmed slightly, she knew he wouldn't let her off, but still worried about her good friends and managers, so she raised her head again, looking at Jiang Tian Kuai said: "What about Ya Hui and my manager..."

  "You can't even take care of yourself, yet you're meddling in other people's business!" Jiang Tiankui stood up calmly and walked back to his own office desk, opened the file and re-examined the documents that had been rejected. "My hotel staff, I have my own way of handling them, no need for you to interfere, just finish eating and leave!"

  Tang Ke Xin sat on the couch, looking at Jiang Tian Kuai's attitude, knowing that saying more would be useless. She could only hold onto the green tea cake, quietly get up and walk to the door without daring to say another word. Turning around, she saw him still intently reading files, so she silently opened the office door and walked out.

  Jiang Tiankuai at this time, just raised his head from the file, looking at that tightly closed door!

  Tang Ke Xin stood outside the door, lifted her head and saw Dong Ying smiling at her. She also smiled back at Dong Ying, slightly bowed her waist and thanked her: "Thank you for taking care of me today, the pastries were delicious... I'll go change into my uniform right away and leave the hotel... I'm really sorry..."

  Dong Ying looked at her and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "You're going to change into a uniform because this one isn't yours. Generally, new employees' uniforms take three days to be ready, and the actual onboarding process is more complicated than that... it's not easy to get a job at the Asia Hotel..."

  Tang Ke Xin forced a smile and said softly, "I know... being able to work here for even one day, I've learned a lot of things. Thank you all sincerely."

  Dong Ying looked at Ke Huan, who still seemed to be in a daze, as if he didn't know what was going on. He couldn't help but smile again and said: "What I mean is that tomorrow when you come to work, just wear casual clothes for now. Once the uniform is ready, you can change into it then. It's too late today and our HR colleagues are not working, so it would be a bit of trouble to process your paperwork."

  "Ah?" Tang Ke Xin raised her head in surprise, looking at Dong Ying, and felt dizzy for a moment.
