Chapter 2761: Chapter 2761: Stop, Don’t Go! (2)

"Jiang Nan, let me go!" Meimei was stunned for a few seconds, and as she came back to her senses, she anxiously tried to push him away.

Jiang Nan didn’t let go. Instead, he held her tighter, pressing her into his arms, his chin resting on her small head as he inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of her hair.

"Let me hold you for a while, just for a moment." Jiang Nan’s voice was low, like a whisper.

Meimei froze instantly.

She lifted her head from his embrace, seeing his forlorn expression, she stopped pushing him away. Her arms wrapped around his waist, gently patting his back, as if comforting a child who was upset.

The arms holding her tightened slightly, his eyes lowered, gazing at her delicate and gentle face. He almost blurted out, wanting to tell her how much he liked her, wondering if there was a chance that she might like him too, rather than just seeing him as a brother?

"Meimei..."

"Jiang Nan..."

The two spoke almost simultaneously, meeting each other’s gaze. Jiang Nan then doted with a smile, releasing her and smoothing down her long hair, "You speak first."

Meimei froze for a moment and continued, "Can you promise not to disappear suddenly again? It’s not just me who worries about you, Tingye is also very concerned. I just went to his office and saw he seemed very upset too."

"..."

The smile on Jiang Nan’s face faded away bit by bit, looking at her conflicted little face, "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"

"Yes, I looked for you all day yesterday, and hearing today that you came to the company, I then went to Tingye’s office. He told me you were here."

Meimei didn’t notice his abnormality, continuing to speak on her own, and upon seeing Jiang Nan’s increasingly unpleasant expression, she immediately stopped, nervously biting her lip.

Did she say something wrong again?

"You said it was Brother who told you I was here?" Jiang Nan’s hand at his side slowly clenched into a fist, light in his eyes intertwined with complexity.

"..."

Meimei looked at him, misunderstanding that he was upset because Dan Tingye had revealed his whereabouts, hurriedly explaining.

"Tingye told me because he saw how worried I was about you, it’s my fault for pushing him to do so, please don’t be angry, okay?" Her small hand tensely tugged at Jiang Nan’s clothes, looking at his somber face, her eyes teared up in anxiety.

She had come to apologize to Jiang Nan, but felt like she hadn’t done anything right and instead upset him even more.

"I’m not angry, I’m just... a bit surprised." Jiang Nan stared at her for a few minutes before slowly speaking, his fingers brushing over her eyes, wiping away her tears.

He wasn’t just surprised, he hadn’t expected it at all. He didn’t expect Dan Tingye would let Meimei come to find him.

Wasn’t he afraid that if he couldn’t hold back, he might tell Meimei that he had also liked her for fifteen years...

Jiang Nan’s lips curled with a hint of self-mockery. If Meimei hadn’t spoken first and interrupted him, he would have already said it.

He’s truly gone crazy, thinking that if Meimei still cared about him, he had a sliver of hope, almost doing something that would betray his brother.

The more open Dan Tingye was with him, the more he didn’t dare to ruin things between him and Meimei.

Jiang Nan slowly lowered his gaze, looking seriously at Meimei.

"I’m not angry because of you and Brother. You haven’t done anything wrong, the one at fault is me. I just can’t face my own failure and want to be alone to calm down for a while. You go back to work, and in a few days when I’m feeling better, I’ll come see you."
