Chapter 176 It’s obvious
There was quite a traffic jam near the group building during the rush hour after get off work. It was supposed to be a ten-minute drive, but it was already past half past six when Jiang Wan finally arrived at the villa.
Seeing dusk gradually falling, Jiang Wan stood at the door for a few seconds before raising his hand and knocking on it.
The door was opened quickly, and it was obvious that the lights were not on inside. The familiar and tall figure was almost half melted into the darkness.
Jiang Wan raised her eyes and met the man's dark eyes. Her heart was beating for a moment, and then she reacted and greeted him softly, "Sir."
Shao Ting stared at her for a few seconds before turning around.
"Come in."
Jiang Wan keenly noticed that the man's eyes seemed slightly different from before.
She pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably nervous, but still walked in slowly and closed the door behind her.
The bandage on Shao Ting's arm had not been removed yet, but it didn't seem to affect him at all, so he led her directly into the study.
Jiang Wan then understood what he meant and handed the document to him for signature.
The atmosphere was exceptionally quiet as the man lowered his eyes and flipped through the documents. Jiang Wan was sitting on the sofa next to him. She didn't look directly at him, but she unconsciously pursed the corners of her lips.
It was unknown how long it took before Shao Ting finally signed all the documents.
Jiang Wan quickly stood up and walked to the desk to take the document, but was stopped by a big hand. The man's deep and sharp voice flowed into his ears.
"No hurries?"
"I have something to ask you."
The surroundings seemed to stand still for two seconds.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat.
*
She was brought to the reception room by Shao Ting.
By this time, the night had completely fallen, and the lush trees outside the floor-to-ceiling windows made the surroundings even more sleepy.
But after the man let go of her hand, he simply turned on the standing lamp by the door, leaned back on the sofa and sat down.
The light was still a little dim. Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly. When she was about to open her lips to say something, she was grabbed by the wrist and brought into his arms.
The familiar and cold breath that belonged only to Shao Ting enveloped her from all directions. As their breaths blended, the man's gaze at her finally had a familiar feel to it.
Jiang Wan clearly felt that she was pressing on his injured arm, and subconsciously tried to stand up, but the man held her waist tightly without any effort, making her unable to move at all.
After struggling for a while, Jiang Wan had no choice but to give up.
"If you want to ask me something, just ask it nicely. What if you pull the wound?"
Shao Ting stared at her for a while, then suddenly asked, "Will you feel bad?"
Under normal circumstances, these words would have seemed somewhat ambiguous, but now Jiang Wan inexplicably heard a kind of suppressed calmness.
Jiang Wan was forced to look directly into his eyes, her heart trembling, and after a while she spoke softly: "I am your secretary, of course I have to consider your health."
Shao Ting knew that she was very good at making sweet words to fool people, so at this moment, he naturally didn't even move his eyes or eyebrows, and whispered something in her ear that was obviously full of deep meaning.
"So according to you, do you think you have enough self-awareness to be my secretary?"
Jiang Wan's ears felt hot from the touch of rough fingertips rubbing her waist. She tried to stop it but to no avail. She could only calm down for the time being and asked as if she was unaware:
"What kind of self-awareness do you mean?"
Unexpectedly, the man stared at her for a moment, then changed the subject in a deep voice.
"Didn't you say you wanted to help a friend last night?"
"How is it? Did you help?"
He leaned back as he said this, his tone calm, as if he was just asking casually.
Jiang Wan suddenly became alert and thought for a few seconds before answering: "I guess I have helped."
After a pause, she asked again: "Didn't you say you had something to ask me? Is this it?"
Shao Ting stared at her face from a very close distance. Even in the dim light, her face still looked extremely fair and clear, but his eyes became more serious.
In his eyes at the beginning, Jiang Wan was a girl with ideas but also very weak and pitiful. The look of her looking at people eagerly was the most heartwarming.
At least at this time Shao Ting had to admit that even though he later slowly discovered that she was not only bad-tempered, but also cried like water, he still softened his heart and became more indulgent towards her.
Even though I have indulged her to the point where I know she has ulterior motives, I still don't want to really bother with her.
What could he possibly have to argue with her about?
This girl was so good at pretending to be good and soft. She could make him completely helpless by just saying a few nice words without any sincerity.
But now...
Shao Ting didn't realize until now that he didn't fully understand Jiang Wan until the night she admitted that she had attended the Junjian project promotion meeting.
All her evasive behavior on the night Shao Lu'an came to the villa, including her unprovoked throwing herself into his arms when Shao Lu'an broke in again, were explained last night.
At that moment when all those unreasonable things that he had unconsciously ignored were connected together, Shao Ting was rarely able to describe how he felt.
Looking back now, her tricks were not that brilliant. It was simply because he lost control and allowed his emotions to take root in his heart.
The man's eyes were too deep and too complicated, so complicated that Jiang Wan could only vaguely catch some uncontrollable emotions.
She curled her fingertips against his chest and felt a strange feeling in her heart.
But before she could figure out what was going on, Shao Ting asked, "Didn't you say before that you were going to be an anchor after you came to Beijing?"
“Is it still being broadcast recently?”
Jiang Wan's eyes were slightly startled, and he nodded: "Yes, it's on."
But the moment she finished speaking, her heart skipped a beat and she instantly realized something was wrong.
After spending such a long time together, she might not know Shao Ting's personality very well, but at least she knows him well.
The man had almost never mentioned the live broadcast before tonight. Now that he brought it up without any warning, he must have known something.
Even if you don't know, at least you have doubts.
Perhaps noticing the change in her eyes, the man stared at her with eyes that became darker and darker, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became stagnant.
She heard him ask, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
The meaning of this sentence is obvious.
The string that was extremely sensitive to danger completely broke. Jiang Wan's heartbeat became more and more intense, and his first reaction was to get up and escape.
However, Shao Ting now knew exactly what every expression of hers meant, and almost the moment she had this intention, he grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her lips hard.
The kiss was so deep and fierce that it almost swallowed her whole.
Jiang Wan felt like she was about to be sucked into pieces, and she put her hands on the man's hard chest, trying to push him away.
But this amount of force was no different from tickling to Shao Ting. Instead, he held her waist with one hand with absolute strength and kissed her more deeply.
The air around him became increasingly sultry, and sobs were heard intermittently amid the lingering voices.
However, just as Jiang Wan's eyes became increasingly blurred from the kiss, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. Her pupils suddenly shrank and her heartbeat almost burst.
A figure that was by no means unfamiliar to Jiang Wan had appeared outside the dim French window, staring at them in disbelief, with bloodshot eyes.
