Chapter 11 Two Proud Individuals

• "Jiang Weiyang!"
• Xue Silu was furious with her nonchalant attitude and instinctively grabbed Jiang Weiyang's arm.
• Jiang Weiyang cried out in pain, cold sweat dripping down her face.
• Her arm seemed to be dislocated, and Xue Silu's grip caused excruciating pain.
• Xue Silu frowned at her. "Don't pretend with me! Do you think I would believe you?"
• Jiang Weiyang couldn't even speak due to the pain. With her other hand, she reached out and slapped Xue Silu's hand, struggling to say a few words, "Let go of me!"
• Only then did Xue Silu realize that something was wrong. Seeing the genuine pain on her face, he instinctively let go of her hand. He looked at Jiang Weiyang's limp arm by her side, his expression changing. "Your hand..."
• "No need for Mr. Xue's concern. Since Mr. Xue doesn't believe me, why waste time talking to me? I've already delivered my message, whether you agree or not has nothing to do with me."
• After saying that, Jiang Weiyang lifted her foot and walked past Xue Silu.
• Xue Silu wanted to reach out and stop her, but as soon as his hand stretched out, he pulled it back. He watched as Jiang Weiyang stubbornly walked away from him step by step.
• Suddenly, for a moment, he felt that this woman might not be as rumored.
• Thinking of Jiang Weiyang's pale face just now, he still couldn't rest assured. So he turned around and chased after her.
• When Jiang Weiyang looked up at him, her eyes filled with doubt, Xue Silu's face had a momentary unnatural expression. He explained in a muffled voice, "I didn't mean to care about you. I just happened to be going downstairs too."
• Jiang Weiyang found his awkward appearance amusing, and in fact, she laughed.
• Her face was pale, covered in cold sweat, her hair soaked with sweat sticking to her face and neck. But that smile was like a gentle breeze in spring, making people feel a warm sensation and a blossoming of flowers.
• Xue Silu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away, standing expressionless.
• The elevator started to descend, and Jiang Weiyang felt exhausted. She had a severe headache, and the frequency of these headaches today made her irritable. There was also an inexplicable feeling of unease.
• She reached out and pressed her chest, slowly exhaling.
• At this moment, the elevator suddenly shook violently, and then the light dimmed, plunging the whole world into darkness.
• Jiang Weiyang frowned. She didn't expect that when things went wrong, nothing would go smoothly. Even taking an elevator became a problem, and she was trapped inside.
• She was about to reach for her phone when she remembered that she had left it in Xue Silu's car and hadn't retrieved it yet.
• Just as she was about to ask Xue Silu for his phone, she heard an abnormal, heavy breathing sound, causing her face to slightly change.
• After asking Xue Silu for his phone, Jiang Weiyang turned on the flashlight on her phone. When the flashlight illuminated the dark elevator space, she finally saw the man standing in the corner with a tense body, closed eyes, and sweating profusely. His pale face was somewhat frightening, and his breathing was unusually heavy.
• "Do you have claustrophobia?" Jiang Weiyang immediately noticed Xue Silu's condition and instinctively spoke up.
• With the sound of a voice, Xue Silu felt slightly better. He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Weiyang, who was standing not far away.
• Jiang Weiyang looked much more pleasing to the eye now than before. He didn't answer, but his lips were tightly sealed, as if he had already revealed too many secrets.
• Jiang Weiyang knew that people with claustrophobia were most afraid of being trapped in an elevator. Xue Silu's condition shouldn't be too severe. He had never had any problems taking elevators before, except when he was trapped in a dark and confined space, the situation would become very serious.
• She moved closer to Xue Silu and gently embraced him with her uninjured hand. Her voice softened, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Someone should soon realize that we're trapped inside and come to rescue us."
• Listening to that gentle voice, Xue Silu felt much more at ease.
• When he was young, he had been kidnapped and locked inside a coffin for five whole days. When he was finally rescued, he was severely dehydrated and went into shock. Since then, he had developed a severe case of claustrophobia. Whenever he was in a dark and confined environment, he would have difficulty breathing and his limbs would twitch.
• Even now, he still had to sleep with the lights on at night. The shadow left by his childhood was too heavy, enough to affect him for the rest of his life.
• But now, this woman standing by his side, speaking so gently to him, telling him not to be afraid because she was there, he actually felt less scared.
• "Does the elevator in your company often malfunction?" Jiang Weiyang looked at Xue Silu with a hint of nervousness, so she brought up a topic.
• Xue Silu looked at her and took a while before answering, "This is the first time. The elevators in Xue Group have never had any issues."
• Jiang Weiyang: "......"
• So, is it just my bad luck?
• She felt speechless and suddenly didn't want to pay attention to Xue Silu anymore.
• Seeing the vivid expression on the woman's face, the frustration and disdain in her eyes were so obvious. Xue Silu suddenly felt in a good mood.
• "Don't think that by doing this, I will change my opinion of you, Jiang Weiyang. I won't like you. It's better for you to give up on that hope." Xue Silu stared at Jiang Weiyang for a while before speaking in a spoiled manner.
• Jiang Weiyang's mouth twitched, and she couldn't be bothered to respond to his words.
• She would never like a man like Xue Silu.
• Seeing Jiang Weiyang's reaction, Xue Silu frowned dissatisfied. What kind of expression was this woman making? Was it embarrassing to like him?
• He sulkily looked at Jiang Weiyang, while she had a headache and her hand hurt. Moreover, she couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but the air seemed to be getting thinner, and she had a feeling of difficulty breathing.
• She didn't speak, choosing to conserve her energy.
• She hadn't eaten anything all day, spending the entire day at Xue Group. Her health was not great to begin with, with ongoing gastrointestinal problems and severe hypoglycemia. Being hungry all day, all her health issues suddenly became apparent, and she was in great discomfort.
• Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, Xue Silu instinctively turned his head to look at her. He saw Jiang Weiyang sweating profusely, her face becoming paler and the color draining from her lips.
• His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively reached out to steady Jiang Weiyang, allowing her to rest against his chest.
• As the woman approached, the subtle fragrance emanating from her body overwhelmed his senses.
• Xue Silu vaguely recognized the scent, and just as he was about to recall where he had encountered it before, Jiang Weiyang unexpectedly collapsed onto him, losing consciousness.
