Chapter 245 A strange combination of circumstances

In fact, even without Guan Li's glance, Jiang Wan would have quickly noticed something unusual. After all, the atmosphere in the entire hall... was very different from when she and Shen Yan first arrived.

Although there were obviously more people present, the surroundings were much quieter. If you looked closely, you could find that most people's attention was clearly focused on the same thing.

However, an invisible barrier seemed to have formed around the two men out of thin air, and no one dared to step forward and disturb them.

Because of the angle, the first thing Jiang Wan saw was Xie Shiqian's profile, which seemed gentle but actually, as always, made it impossible to detect any specific emotions.

His gaze fell calmly on the man opposite him, his long legs crossed, his back relaxed and straight against the back of the chair. Even just sitting there doing nothing, he still made people inevitably feel the unspeakable oppression and fear.

As for Shao Ting...

The man was actually sitting with his back almost facing her, but Jiang Wan was so familiar with his figure that she could recognize him at a glance. Even just seeing his back made her heart shudder uncontrollably.

She couldn't help but feel lucky that she stopped at the entrance of the corridor, so the two men didn't notice this place.

Although Guan Li had already seen her, at this point it was a blessing that she didn't have to face these two men at the same time. If they really collided, the situation would be completely out of control.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan's chest beat more violently, and the thought of escaping was almost instantly nailed to her gradually out-of-control consciousness.

But it turned out that her idea was too naive.

Before she even had time to look away, Xie Shiqian, who had been paying no attention to this place, had already noticed something. He then raised his slightly closed eyelashes and glanced at her without any warning.

Jiang Wan's eyes froze and even his breathing became tight.

Of course she wanted to turn around and slip away, but the man's discovery only took a moment. In her extreme anxiety, she not only couldn't find a way to escape, but she seemed to have lost the strength to move and was completely frozen in place.

Fortunately, at the moment when their eyes were about to meet, her waist suddenly tightened and she was half-encircled by a big hand.

A clean and refreshing scent mixed with pine wood surrounded her from all directions. Jiang Wan looked up in a daze and met Shen Yan's complicated and incomprehensible gaze.

After staring at each other silently for two seconds, he slowly released his hand and whispered, "I'm sorry, the information that Special Assistant Jiang beside him originally delivered was supposed to arrive around nine o'clock. I don't know why it arrived at this time."

Obviously, Shen Yan thought that the reason for her reaction was because she suddenly met Shao Ting.

Jiang Wan had recovered from his shock, lowered his eyelashes, and shook his head, saying, "It's not your problem."

She finally realized that she had a preconceived notion about something.

Now thinking about it, the reason why Shao Ting called her right after getting off the plane was probably because he planned to meet her first and then come to attend Mr. Shen's 70th birthday.

But after that phone call, the man changed his itinerary.

Everything is a mistake.

Shen Yan stared at her with a heavy gaze, wanting to ask her what the entanglement between her and Shao Ting was, but seeing her pale face, he held back and said, "I'll take you out through the underground garage."

Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't respond after he finished speaking, he grabbed her wrist and turned her around, preparing to take her back along the same route.

Then, after just two steps, they both stopped at the same place.

Just a few steps away from them, Jiang Yan, who had just been mentioned by Shen Yan, slowly stopped.

He rarely reacted for a moment. After calmly glancing at Jiang Wan's left wrist which was still firmly held in Shen Yan's palm, he greeted Shen Yan and then looked at Jiang Wan.

"I haven't seen Miss Jiang for a while. I didn't expect to see you here."

After saying that, he hesitated for two seconds before asking again, "Miss Jiang, if you come over from that side, have you seen Mr. Jiang? I was just catching up with an old friend I haven't seen for a long time, so I wasn't with Mr. Jiang. Logically, he should still be in the hall."

Jiang Wan took a deep breath and was silent for a moment before he forced a smile as if resigned to his fate. He did not directly answer his question, but only said, "That's perfect. Special Assistant Jiang, please take me to see the gentleman."

After saying that, she subconsciously wanted to pull her wrist away, but she soon realized something, her breathing paused, and she turned her head to look at Shen Yan, who was standing beside her with an expression that was hard to tell whether it was gloomy or restrained.

His clear black eyes were staring at her face without blinking, and for the first time he did not obey her wishes and hold her wrist tighter.

"I'm waiting for you."

"After you meet the person, I will take you back."

Jiang Wan's lips trembled slightly, and when she was about to say something, she heard Jiang Yan's voice in her ears.

"Sir, you originally planned to meet Miss Jiang after visiting the old man. Now that you meet her, it's just the right time to send Miss Jiang home. So, Master Shen, don't worry. Just take care of the old man's affairs."

Jiang Yan's words were flawless. The moment Jiang Wan saw Jiang Yan, he knew that he could not escape this situation. He looked at Shen Yan and whispered:

"In that case, A'Yan, since there are so many important guests here, you should take care of your family matters first. I'll let you know when I get home."

Shen Yan's eyes were dark and speechless, but all the complicated and inexplicable emotions could only turn into a bitter smile at the corner of his lips.

He knew that this was the choice she had made at the moment, and he couldn't bear to see her in such a difficult situation, so he finally let go of her hand and said the next word in a hoarse voice.

"it is good."

At the same time, Xie Heng, who had just arrived at the Shen family and was being talked to by someone and had finally gotten away, was about to go directly to Mr. Shen's private reception room. However, before he could move, he caught a glimpse of a slim and graceful figure out of the corner of his eye.

The figure was quickly blocked by the crowd, and when Xie Heng looked closely again, it had completely disappeared. It seemed that the scene just now was just his illusion.

Xie Heng frowned and subconsciously wanted to follow to look for it, but his sight was unexpectedly blocked by Guan Li who was following behind him.

The curve of his lips remained as demure as ever, like a mask, impeccable. He gestured to his right, "Second Young Master, would you like to take this opportunity to send the birthday gift over and see how the old man is recovering?"

Xie Heng's eyes moved slightly, and he was silent for two seconds. After looking in a certain direction but finding nothing, he hummed softly and turned around.

He no longer dwelled on the figure that was blocked by Jiang Yan in the end. He just laughed at himself for being so crazy again. He would think of Jiang Wan whenever he saw anyone.

Xie Heng knew that it was not impossible for the girl to appear here because of Shen Yan, but...how could she appear next to Jiang Yan and have anything to do with Shao's people.
