The battle of wits and bravery between Gu Jiangnian and Jiang Muwan persisted until the end of May.
One fervently pursued, the other desperately dodged.
One spared no effort to make things public, while the other racked her brains to hide at all costs.
These strategies sent Jiang Muwan's heart racing with adrenaline.
Initially, Fu Jing hadn't noticed anything amiss, until the evening of May 28th. Huazhong had a social engagement, and Jiang Muwan was out with Fu Jing. After three rounds of drinks, when Jiang Muwan excused herself to go to the restroom, she happened to run into Xu Fang, and they exchanged a few pleasantries at the bathroom entrance.
When she turned back and bent over to whisper to Jiang Muwan, she said, "Director Gu seems to be here too."
Jiang Muwan, who had been holding a glass, tightened her grip.
The man who was listening seriously to the partner's words glanced over at her with a hint of surprise in his gaze.
