The woman seemed quite young at first glance, like she was in her early twenties, but she exuded a maturity that young women typically donât possess.
Her beautiful face carried a faint pride, like the most difficult-to-pick iceberg lotus flower, seemingly standing right there but feeling impossibly distant.
Beneath the unparalleled cold beauty was an intensely alluring and attractive body.
Her figure was slightly voluptuous, full of curves, yet not overweight or bloated in the slightest.
Her fiery figure was wrapped in a dazzling short dress; her straight, slender legs were flawlessly smooth, her striking silhouette making any man who saw her for the first time hold his breath.
Bai Zhiqing, Kong Guyoulan, and others had figures that were already at the "demon" level, but the woman before him was even more exaggerated!
A perfectly curved, seductive body radiated layers of femininity, like a ripe fruit, giving off a deadly allure that stirred uncontrollable feelings in a man.
Seeing this woman, Jiang Fengâs first reaction was that she was a blend of an icy beauty and a naturally charming woman.
The woman stood quietly inside, occasionally glancing at the watch on her pale wrist, seemingly rushing for time.
When Jiang Feng entered, she merely gave him a casual glance.
Jiang Fengâs unimpressive attire scarcely affected her expression, keeping her demeanor indifferent.
"Why arenât you coming in? What are you staring at? Is there something on my face?" she said flatly.
Her tone was unfriendly, indeed an ice-cold beauty accustomed to keeping others at a distance.
Jiang Feng shrugged and had no choice but to step in.
The woman frowned and subconsciously retreated two steps back into the elevator corner.
Yet those simple two steps revealed something unusual to Jiang Feng.
"Miss, are you sick?" Jiang Feng asked playfully, curious.
The woman paused, then raised her brows angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Youâre the one whoâs sick! Are you insane?"
Jiang Feng shook his head. She might fool others, but not him. Seeing her unfriendliness, he didnât bother to say more, simply turned away without speaking further.
"Humph!"
The woman was infuriated and impatiently scoffed, quickly pressing the elevatorâs "up" button, ignoring Jiang Fengâs clumsy attempts at small talk.
As the elevator doors closed, the carriage quickly ascended.
The only two people inside were silent and awkward due to their recent unconvincing dialogue.
Just as the red numbers on the button panel showed they had reached over ten floors, suddenly, a "bang!" came from above! The whole elevator shook violently!
The woman standing behind Jiang Feng lost her balance and cried out, suddenly falling forward.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng quickly grabbed the womanâs arm, pulling her back.
The woman unexpectedly crashed into Jiang Fengâs arms, her brilliantly beautiful face instantly blushing red!
In that moment of close physical contact, the womanâs soft body directly touched Jiang Fengâs solid chest.
Jiang Feng didnât react much, but the woman was extremely nervous.
She was astonished to find that the seemingly slender guy had such a solid chest!
Embarrassed and startled, the woman hurriedly tried to push Jiang Feng away, but as the elevator shook again, she let out another scream.
Jiang Feng had no choice but to embrace her soft waist to help her steady herself.
At this point, the woman dared not resist, nervously snuggling in Jiang Fengâs arms, looking at the swaying elevator walls, asking, "What happened?"
"Not sure, seems like the elevator broke."
Jiang Feng was speechless; it was the first time heâd acted impulsively to do something, and it was spoiled by the elevator breaking down, really dampening his enthusiasm.
"Broken? How could it be? The mallâs elevator is broken? Arenât they supposed to be regularly maintained?" said the woman, furrowing her lovely brows.
"How would I know? Machines arenât human, theyâll malfunction eventually. Thereâs nothing to worry about, shouldnât be anything serious."
Jiang Feng glanced up at the top of the elevator carriage and said flatly.
Though annoying, such incidents were minor to someone like him whoâd seen plenty of ups and downs, at most wasting some time.
Soon enough, as if purposely proving Jiang Feng right, the elevator carriage shook violently for a moment, then stopped, seeming stuck.
When the shocked woman came to her senses, she realized she had unprecedentedly nestled in Jiang Fengâs arms dependently.
She was held by Jiang Fengâs strong arm, instantly feeling intensely uncomfortable and deeply ashamed.
Embarrassed, the woman immediately pushed Jiang Feng away, walking to the other side of the elevator, calming her anxious mind and forcing herself to remain composed.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the elevator carriage became subtly awkward.
"Ahem, I was just trying to keep you from falling..." Jiang Feng chuckled, breaking the silence.
"Humph!" The woman scoffed coldly again, deliberately changing the subject, also assessing the surroundings, "Looks like weâre trapped here, how do we get out?"
"No idea, this is the first time Iâve encountered something like this too!"
Jiang Feng naturally had no idea; with the elevator suspended in mid-air, even his strength couldnât force the doors open, let alone cause any harm to the woman.
"Shall I try calling outside? Thereâs an emergency phone here."
Jiang Feng glanced again at the emergency contact number on the elevator sign, ready to call out, but strangely enough, his phone had no signal!
Jiang Feng was dumbfounded; this was unbelievable, no signal in the elevator?
"Whatâs going on? Canât make a call?!"
Seeing this, the woman quickly opened her little bag, took out her phone, and found hers also had no signal.
"Why is it so unlucky, what should we do now?" The always calm and astute ice-beauty actually seemed flustered.
At such times, beauties naturally relied on men instinctively.
She looked to Jiang Feng for help.
"Donât look at me."
Jiang Feng shook his head, "I said it was my first time encountering this, look at the numbers displayed in the elevator, weâre stuck between the thirteenth and fifteenth floors, currently unaware of the situation outside, I can only try knocking and yelling."
With that, Jiang Feng walked to the elevator doors, forcefully pounded them twice, and loudly shouted a few times.
Yet with his forceful pounding, the entire carriage started to unstablely tremble again.
The woman hurriedly stopped and said, "Stop shouting, itâs sealed, no one will hear you! Calm down and think of a solution!"
