Chapter 212 Come here
It was almost eleven o'clock when he got home. Jiang Wan called Xie Heng back before going to wash and shower.
After the meeting, she did not go back to the bedroom to sleep directly. Instead, she sat on the sofa and sent a message to Shen Yan.
It was getting late now, so she had to make sure the other party was not resting before calling.
After waiting for a few minutes and still not receiving a reply from Shen Yan, Jiang Wan still had no intention of getting up and returning to his room.
She really had no desire to sleep now, and her mind was full of what happened tonight.
Jiang Wan knew that the 5% change was most likely caused by Xie Shiqian, but she couldn't figure out the reason.
Based on past experience and her personal feelings, Jiang Wan really didn't think that the other party's "liking" for her had reached a level that was enough to change the liking value.
The man's last words also confirmed this.
He knew that she was afraid of him, and he also knew that besides her extremely weak body being unable to resist, she actually didn't want to have anything to do with him from the bottom of her heart.
Not to mention Xie Shiqian.
He holds a high position, and not to mention the political circles, there are countless eyes staring at him among the powerful people in Beijing alone.
How could she, who was involved with Shao Ting Ji Xingjing and even his own brother Xie Heng, really make him fall in love with her?
Even if there is, it's probably better than nothing.
Now that I have calmed down and think back, the reason why the man answered the phone was not just a joke.
Those who truly stand at the top of the pyramid know how to kill their opponents directly in the simplest and most plain way, without any mercy.
At least after that phone call, she fully realized that she could not delay any longer and made up her mind to find an opportunity to talk things out with Xie Heng as soon as possible.
For Jiang Wan, Xie Heng's kindness is indeed too much to bear.
Jiang Wan just couldn't help but think that the 5% of favorability was due to Xie Shiqian's special status, so even a little bit of thought was enough to trigger the change.
Or maybe this man's rationality is really far greater than his emotions, so that even if he has thoughts, he can suppress and hide them very well, to the point where even Jiang Wan can't detect them at all, and can only feel the attraction and desire for each other's bodies...
But no matter what, it is a good thing for Jiang Wan to see the change in his likeability value.
She pursed her lips and was finally about to get up and go back to her room when her cell phone finally rang with a voice call reminder.
Jiang Wan opened the message interface directly, but saw another person's name.
She frowned, but still answered the call. Soon, a familiar voice of a young man came from the other end: "I knew you were still awake."
Jiang Wan raised the corners of his eyes slightly and said softly, "I'm just getting ready to go to bed."
"Lu An, what's the matter?"
Shao Lu'an: "You have to go to school tomorrow. I wanted to see you tomorrow, but I suddenly have to go to Jiang City tomorrow morning, so I have to wait a few days."
Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, but she still asked with concern: "What's the matter with going to Jiang City?"
The other end suddenly fell silent. After a while, Shao Lu'an spoke again: "My aunt had a heart attack again this morning. Her condition has become serious. She is from Jiang City. She wants to be transferred to Jiang City for treatment for a while to relax. I'll go with you to take care of some things."
Shao Lu'an's great aunt is, of course, Shao Ting's mother, Su Mingzhao.
How serious is it...
Jiang Wan's knuckles tightened unconsciously, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Perhaps noticing her abnormality, Shao Lu'an's tone became increasingly low, and he took the initiative to bring it up: "He will definitely go, but we don't know how long he will stay."
After a pause, he continued, "Jiang Wan, wait for me to come back and find you."
He hung up the phone without waiting for her reply.
Jiang Wan buried his head in his phone and fell silent.
The scenes of her past interactions with the man and the words he had said flashed through her mind. After an unknown amount of time, she opened the address book and her fingertips landed on the familiar name.
Her hesitation and entanglement were based on too many reasons, but it was reasonable for her to make the call.
Not to mention that when she fell ill the night before, it was Shao Ting who brought a doctor to treat her in the early morning.
What she didn't expect was that just as she was about to press the dial button, the phone screen jumped to the incoming call page without any warning.
The name above was so familiar that Jiang Wan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, but his body reacted before his brain and pressed the answer button.
The voice on the other end was low and hoarse: "You answered the phone so quickly, you haven't slept yet."
The tone was almost a statement, but it revealed an ambiguous emotion.
Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, and answered softly: "Yeah, I was just about to go to bed."
There was silence for a moment, and when Jiang Wan's thoughts became increasingly confused, he spoke: "Then come down, I'm downstairs."
Jiang Wan's breathing tightened, and when he suddenly realized something, Shao Ting had already hung up the phone.
She was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help looking at the window that had not been closed tightly. She shuddered for a moment, not understanding why the night wind was so strong in early autumn, making her breath feel like the tide.
Jiang Wan still went downstairs.
Her movements were neither fast nor slow, and soon the familiar car appeared in her field of vision, as well as a tall and handsome man who slowly walked down from the passenger seat.
The aura around him was as cold and restrained as ever, but when his eyes fell on her, there was a hint of warmth.
The closer she got, the more complicated Jiang Wan's mood became, so much so that her steps became increasingly slow, and finally she stopped a few steps away, not daring to get any closer.
The man seemed to have noticed something and sighed helplessly: "Come here, let me hug you, okay?"
