Chapter 206 Pursuit
Jiang Wan's heart had already jumped to his throat, but he couldn't catch any emotion from the other person's eyes.
Only when their eyes met, some shameful scenes that she had deliberately forgotten came flooding back to her mind.
As the scene became clearer, Jiang Wan's eyes became more and more rigid. She couldn't understand why she had the bad luck to run into Xie Shiqian again.
And it just happened...when I was with Xie Heng.
The man in the distance quickly ended the call, and at the same time as he withdrew his gaze, which was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry, from her, Guan Li appeared beside him.
Secretary Guan obviously also noticed this and cast a complicated look at them, but he quickly looked away. After saying something with his head lowered, the two of them turned around and left the viewing balcony.
Before Jiang Wan could breathe a sigh of relief, Xie Heng's voice came to her ears again: "Wan Wan, why don't you watch it?"
He turned sideways, and his gentle tone unconsciously carried a hint of coaxing: "Don't you like it?"
Jiang Wan curled up the fingertips hanging at her side, and after a moment, she turned her head to look at him and denied softly: "No, Brother Heng, I like it very much. This is the most beautiful fireworks I have ever seen, but..."
However, after seeing Xie Shiqian, all his interest disappeared instantly.
But she really couldn't say these words directly to Xie Heng at this moment. She could only take a deep breath, pull the man's large coat on her shoulders, and said a little embarrassedly: "But it is indeed a bit cold here on the riverside at night..."
Before she finished speaking, Xie Heng interrupted her: "Then let's go in first."
After saying that, he did not forget to comfort her: "It's okay, if you want to see it again in the future, I can bring you here anytime."
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her, his gaze so deep that it seemed as if he was making some kind of promise.
Jiang Wan's heartbeat slowed down for a moment when he saw this almost unconcealable gaze.
She opened her lips and wanted to say something, but stopped talking. In the end, she just lowered her thick eyelashes and nodded obediently: "Okay."
What they didn't expect was that after they had only taken a few steps, they heard the sound of a vibrating phone in their ears.
The noise came from Xie Heng's cell phone.
Xie Heng opened the screen and looked at the caller ID. His eyes paused for two seconds, but he still pressed the answer button.
It was unknown what was said on the other end. Xie Heng's brows sank, and he suddenly stopped walking and looked around.
It was this action that made Jiang Wan realize something in an instant. Alarm bells instantly rang in his mind, and he stopped where he was almost instinctively.
Seeing Xie Heng's reaction, Jiang Wan couldn't help but speculate that the person who called was most likely Xie Shiqian.
What was the purpose of Xie Shiqian calling Xie Heng?
It's impossible for Xie Heng to take her to see him...
But what if it is?
Will the man mention or even pursue what happened that day?
Based on Jiang Wan's current superficial understanding of Xie Shiqian, this possibility is extremely small, but the mere existence of this possibility is terrifying enough.
Jiang Guan pursed his lips, and his eyes involuntarily fell in the direction where the man had just disappeared.
Xie Heng rarely noticed her abnormality and whispered, "Yes, I plan to go back to the old house tomorrow night."
"Second Uncle and Old Master Qin are here too?"
Glancing at Jiang Wan, Xie Heng was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Well, I'll come over then."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Heng looked at Jiang Wan and said helplessly, "Wan Wan, a few of my elders happen to be here too. I don't know when they saw me. I may have to go up and say hello to them."
"I'll take you to the private room first. Please wait for me. I'll be done soon and take you home. Okay?"
that is it?
Jiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief but still felt a little uneasy, so he said, "Brother Heng, if you have something to do, just go ahead and do it. It's okay for me to go home by myself."
However, Xie Heng had not seen her for such a long time since he went abroad. Now that they finally met, he was certainly not satisfied with the time they had just spent together. He shook his head, sighed, and laughed softly:
"I haven't rested since I came back, and I'm really tired. I can't stay for long. If you go back, I won't have such a good reason to leave."
There was no disguising the fact that these words were meant to be a joke, but the implication was of course obvious.
Jiang Wan lowered her eyelashes, thinking that since it was most likely that person who asked Xie Heng to go up, and she stayed in the private room obediently, it was impossible for her to see Xie Shiqian again...
So after a few seconds of silence, she finally did not refuse.
"Okay then, I'll wait for you in the private room."
After sending her back to the private room, Xie Heng left quickly.
However, not long after he went upstairs, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Jiang Wan felt a pang in his heart and walked to the door and asked softly who the other person was.
Soon, the waiter's polite and gentle voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me, Miss Jiang, Mr. Xie saw that you like our dessert after dinner, so he asked us to give you two more mousses of different flavors to try."
Jiang Wan raised the corners of his eyes slightly and then opened the door.
The waiter pushed the food cart and neatly brought the exquisitely presented desserts to the table before leaving.
Jiang Wan blinked, not wanting to let Xie Heng down, so he sat down and prepared to take a bite.
Unexpectedly, just as I picked up the small golden spoon on the plate, I heard a very light knock on the door again.
Jiang Wan subconsciously thought it was the waitress from before, so he opened the door directly this time. However, he was caught off guard by the other party's pair of calm and gentle eyes, and his eyes were immediately froze.
The other party seemed not to notice, lowered her eyebrows and said in a gentle voice: "Miss Jiang, our master would like to ask you to talk alone. I wonder... is it convenient for you?"
There was no such thing as inconvenience for her. Guan Li was worthy of being Xie Shiqian's secretary. Her tone and manner made it seem as if she really had the right to choose.
But things had gotten to that point that day, and Jiang Wan knew he had to face it eventually.
Thinking of this, she sighed softly and looked at Guan Li: "Where is it?"
However, even though she was well prepared, Jiang Wan never expected that Guan Li would actually take her directly to the fourth floor, right next to the private room where Xie Heng was.
The reason she knew this was because the door of Xie Heng's private room was only half-open. When she passed by, she could even hear the man's familiar low laugh.
