“Mianmian! Ruan Mianmian?”
“Ruan Mianmian, what’s wrong? Wake up!”
The panicked and frightened voices of her colleagues echoed in Ruan Mianmian’s ears.
She could hear them calling her, but she couldn’t respond.
Her heart felt as if it were being squeezed mercilessly by an invisible hand—so much pain she couldn’t breathe.
It was as if someone were strangling her, her neck gripped tight, cutting off her air.
It was like drowning, water flooding her lungs, the more she struggled to breathe, the more water rushed in.
Ruan Mianmian thought that in the next moment, she would suffocate and die.
She hadn’t even recovered from the dull pain in her heart and temples, like oxygen deprivation, when another voice echoed in her mind:

She had almost died from working overtime all night, revising proposals—nearly dropped dead and gone to meet her great-grandmother!
Lifting her head, she met the worried gazes of her colleagues—some anxious, some just watching the show, and… the shiny, thoroughly displeased, chubby face of her supervisor, Li Hao.
