Chapter 208 Showing Weakness
The force she used was not worth mentioning, but she still managed to stop Xie Shiqian.
He was silent for two seconds before he slowly lowered his eyes to look at her, a rare hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"I still say the same thing. I never intended to get anything from Brother Heng from the beginning to the end, and I never thought of getting him involved in any game."
Xie Shiqian just watched her slowly raise her face and look at him with her faintly red eyes: "But on the other hand, I also have a question, how can Mr. Xie be sure that he never participated unintentionally?"
"If you can ensure that, how do you explain what happened at Zhenfu Hall that day?"
The girl's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but because of the content of her words, it inexplicably carried a more tender and indescribable meaning than before.
Xie Shiqian's gaze on her face was still indifferent and calm, but a trace of unknown emotion clearly flashed through his eyes.
Just when Jiang Wan could clearly sense the elusive and omnipresent sense of oppression becoming increasingly strong and difficult to breathe, the man's voice, whose tone was hard to tell, finally fell into his ears: "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Wan's palms were slightly wet, and she clutched his sleeves tighter, calling out another name: "I just want to say that even you, Mr. Xie, have things that are not completely under your control, right?"
She said something that she should never have said, so her voice was particularly soft and difficult to speak: "You are like this, and I am just an orphan. I have very few people who can really rely on me, let alone."
Xie Shiqian did not respond immediately, and Jiang Wan could not see any real emotion from the eyes that were staring at her slowly.
After a long while, the man pinched her chin with two slender fingers, slowly lifted her face, and raised the corners of his lips ambiguously: "Ms. Jiang, have you ever thought that it would be better for you to treat some things as if they never happened?"
Of course Jiang Wan knew this, and until the moment she ran into Xie Shiqian tonight, she was still like a frightened bird, fearing that the man would pursue even a little bit of what happened that day.
But after the conversation just now, she changed her mind.
Since it has already happened, instead of being scared every time you run into a man in the future, it is better to put the matter out in the open now and see what this man’s attitude is.
When it comes down to it, compared to her who had every reason to lose her mind, Xie Shiqian was sober that day.
So Jiang Wan curled her fingertips, raised her face and whispered: "To be honest, I'm not as smart as you describe me to be, and I don't understand what you mean."
She took a deep breath, her tone becoming more sullen: "I just feel that you are prejudiced against me, but you succeeded. What you said just now is enough to scare me."
As she spoke, her eyes became redder and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked extremely pitiful.
Jiang Wan certainly knew that this trick of pretending to be good and showing weakness was extremely easy for Xie Shiqian, but she did not forget that this man, who could hardly find any breakthrough and even did not leave her any room until just now, was soft-hearted towards her for a moment.
There is no way. It has always been Jiang Wan's bad habit to push for more. Both Shao Ting and Ji Xingjing have already realized this.
However, what Jiang Wan did not expect was that after staring at her for a while, Xie Shiqian suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up from the sofa and brought her in front of him.
Their breaths intertwined in an instant, and as they looked at each other at a very close distance, the man's tone was calm without the slightest ripple.
"Whether I am prejudiced against you or not should not be that important to you."
As if he didn't notice her suddenly disordered breathing, he stared at her eyes that had nowhere to hide: "As for what happened that day at Zhenfu Club, it happened when you were confused and I was sober the whole time. I'm not an unreasonable person, and I have no right to pursue you. You can rest assured."
This man really understood all her thoughts thoroughly, and Jiang Wan's eyes inevitably froze a little.
After a long silence, she lowered her thick eyelashes and tried hard to avoid his gaze: "Anyway, thank you for your help that day."
After a pause, she whispered softly, "Don't worry, I won't leave any unnecessary misunderstandings. I will find the right time to make things clear as soon as possible."
Xie Heng is a good person, but precisely because of that, she is even more unwilling to waste his feelings under such circumstances.
"Besides, I assure you that I never actively attempted to approach you."
"Whether it was your car that night at Lulin Mansion or my pestering you that day at Zhenfu Club, it was all just coincidence that I ran into you. As for what I did, I really had no choice."
"Not many people would dare to offend you like that, let alone... me."
She explained a lot, just trying to dispel Xie Shiqian's attention to her, trying to make the man treat her as just an ordinary passerby from now on.
And just as she had originally planned, she could only gain favor from those people over whom she could barely control the situation.
In the case of Shao Ting, she took her time to achieve her goal at the cost of putting herself in danger twice. As for Ji Xingjing, she had to go with the flow only after things had developed to that point.
In fact, it was not her wish to be entangled with two men, Shao Ting and Ji Xingjing, at the same time, let alone get close to Xie Shiqian.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, she really didn't want to be so worried all the time like she was now.
However, the further he spoke, the more sensitive Jiang Wan became to something, and his voice became lower and lower, until... it was almost inaudible.
She opened and closed her lips, which were so beautiful that juice seemed to burst out at the slightest touch, and uttered a series of words, trying her best to distance herself from the matter. Xie Shiqian saw it all.
He slightly closed his eyes and looked at her indifferently, even loosening his right hand that was restraining her slender wrist, but the expression in his eyes gradually became more and more intense.
They were too close just now, and the moment their bodies touched, both of them almost simultaneously and uncontrollably recalled the scene of that day.
In the almost equally silent atmosphere, even their restrained moans were extremely clear. She climbed on his chest, with him holding her waist and she trembled countless times on his legs. To the point that just by being close to him, a numbing feeling like an electric shock surged through Jiang Wan's heart.
Her heart suddenly began beating like a pounding drum and her pulse was beating like a drum. She was shocked by the terribleness of this reaction, so after the man let go of her wrist without any reluctance, Jiang Wan almost breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
However, just as she subconsciously took a step back, a big hand grabbed her waist and pulled her into the arms.
The extremely aggressive yet familiar masculine scent assaulted all her senses from all directions, and the man's palms were so hot that they almost burned her.
Before Jiang Wan even had time to come back to her senses and think about how to defend herself, the man's tight kiss had already fallen upon her.
Jiang Wan trembled instinctively, but at the moment she trembled, the man lifted her up and pushed her against the wall.
The kiss uncontrollably went from shallow to deep, and words fell into my ears again that didn't sound like something the person before me would say.
"You have to do it, but your body is honest."
