Top beauties: Beijing bigwigs gathered at Shura Field

Chapter 144 Explanation

Zhong Rong Mansion is near Peking University, so it is naturally a prime location. It is not yet eight o'clock, and there are still many people coming and going.

But as they passed by, they would glance at a black car parked at the edge of the tree path, wondering who was in the car.

Bentleys are not uncommon in places like Beijing, but what is rare is license plates with sequential numbers.

Of course Jiang Wan knew who was in the car.

Just as she looked over, a familiar figure walked out from the passenger seat with a rare complicated expression.

Jiang Wan's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart beat like a drum.

But she knew that the more it was at this time, the more she could not show a guilty look.

Thinking of this, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she smiled as she walked over and casually put the invitation into her bag.

When they reached the car, Jiang Yan, who was waiting beside the car, pursed his lips and whispered, "Good evening, Miss Jiang. My husband has an appointment at Yilan Bay tonight. When it was about to end, I remembered that you praised the pastries there last time, so I brought them to you on the way."

After a pause, he added, "We actually just arrived less than two minutes ago. We didn't have time to call you when we saw you get off the car."

Yilan Bay is indeed only a ten-minute drive from Zhongrong Mansion, and Shao Ting only needs to get off Yingbin Road and arrive here in a few minutes if he wants to return to the Shaohe Road villa area.

But... Jiang Wan didn't expect that the man would make a special trip just to bring her some pastries.

She responded softly and walked to the back seat of the car.

The car window had already been rolled down, and the man was leaning in the back seat, staring at her with eyes so dark that it was almost impossible to discern any emotion. His eyes were so solemn that it made people feel uneasy.

Jiang Wan bent down slightly, put her slender white fingertips on the edge of the car window, and curved her eyebrows.

"Did you bring me anything delicious, sir?"

The man did not say anything, but just stared at her deeply. The passion and ambiguity of last night seemed to have disappeared, leaving only an ambiguous meaning that had not been revealed for a long time.

Jiang Wan felt a fright at the sight, but the man suddenly withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, picked up something, and got out of the car from the left side.

Jiang Wan slowly stood up and looked in a daze as the extremely tall man walked around the back of the car and came to her side.

"Let's go, let's take you home."

The man's voice was deep and cold, and seemed no different from usual.

Jiang Wan reacted and nodded to Jiang Yan who was waiting there, then he followed.

The building where she lived was just to the left of the community entrance, just a few steps away.

When she reached the elevator, she subconsciously stopped and looked up at Shao Ting's stern profile.

The man didn't even look at her, nor did he hand her the cake in his hand.

Just as she was about to take this opportunity to casually explain why she got off Ji Xingjing's car just now, the elevator door slowly opened with a "ding" sound.

The man walked in and let out a deep sigh.

"Come in."

"I have something to ask you, so I won't come in."

When Shao Ting didn't try to restrain himself, he felt extremely oppressive.

Both of them knew exactly what question he was going to ask, and it would be foolish for Jiang Wan to have any further thoughts at this time.

Yes, she had mentioned casually when the man asked about it that the house she rented was in very good conditions in all aspects, with an independent entrance, and they could indeed have a conversation without entering the house.

Knowing that the sooner tonight's matter was resolved, the better, her thick eyelashes trembled, but she still walked in.

However, Jiang Wan had even been to Shao Ting's home, so it was impossible for her to really lock the man out.

As soon as the elevator reached the ninth floor, she walked out first, then unlocked the code and opened the door.

"If you have anything to say, come in and sit down and talk. I'll make you some tea."

When she was trying to be nice and show her goodwill, she would unconsciously drag out the last syllable of her voice, and her voice would become softer and more charming, making it impossible for people to say no.

Shao Ting stared at her eyes for a moment before he stepped into the room.

He just glanced around casually and sat on the sofa, watching Jiang Wan set up the tea set and start making tea.

The girl's technique of making tea was obviously very skilled. She lifted the teapot with her white and tender knuckles and began to brew tea and soup. Finally, she pushed the teacup silently in front of Shao Ting.

After this, both of them calmed down a little without realizing it.

The first to speak was Jiang Wan.

Just as a secretary, she should take the initiative to explain what happened tonight.

"Didn't I tell you before that I've been live streaming since I came to Beijing? The friend I mentioned to you on the phone tonight who was having dinner at a friend's house was the first fan of my live streaming room."

"She had helped me before, so since she was also a girl, I agreed to go on the date, and then stayed at her house for dinner. I never expected to run into Director Ji there."

"Later, I found out that my friend was actually Director Ji's cousin, and Director Ji also sent me off at the behest of their elders."

Apart from the conversations when he was alone with Ji Xingjing, these were all facts, so Jiang Wan said them without any guilt, and the sincerity in his eyes did not seem fake.

"You can find all of this out. I'm not lying."

"So... don't be mean to me."

As she said this, she stood obediently opposite him across the coffee table, staring at him with her pair of dark, clear eyes without blinking, and her tone even had a hint of grievance and pleading when she told him not to be mean to her.

In Shao Ting's eyes, it actually looked more like she was acting coquettishly.

Shao Ting stared at her for a long time before he whispered, "Come here."

Jiang Wan's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he walked over hesitantly.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she walked up to him, the man's hot hand hooked her waist and pushed her down, causing her to sit sideways on his lap.
