Chapter 136 Now is the Time
As soon as the words came out, the other end of the phone fell silent almost instantly.
After a moment, the man opened his mouth in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Wan didn't answer, but asked: "Are you busy now?"
When Jiang Yan returned to the office at around five o'clock, he casually mentioned that Shao Ting had already gone home, and the hospital should be guarded by Shao's father now.
As expected, the other party whispered after a moment: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Jiang Wan lowered his eyes slightly, as if he didn't hear it at all.
"Then I'll ask Special Assistant Jiang for your address."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for the man to answer.
She had nothing to do, she just wanted to take this opportunity to see Shao Ting.
Jiang Yan quickly sent her the address.
Shaohe Road villa area?
It is only a few minutes' drive from the company.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips, picked up her bag and walked out of the office.
*
Unlike the secrecy of Lu Lin Mansion, the Shaohe Road villa area is a typical high-end villa in the city center. It is located in the most luxurious area of Chao'an District. This property is obviously specially designed for Shao Ting's work.
After asking Jiang Yan to give advance notice, Jiang Wan arrived at the villa area and a special car came to take her to the door of Shao Ting's private residence.
After I rang the doorbell, it took a long time before someone finally opened the door.
The person who opened the door was Shao Ting, whom he had just talked on the phone.
But the moment he looked up and saw Shao Ting's appearance clearly, Jiang Wan's pupils shrank slightly and he stood there in a daze for a moment.
The man was already extremely tall and imposing, and now he was frowning. His bloodshot eyes were like sharp and hard scrapers, making people tremble with fear. The aura around him became increasingly dangerous.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and dared not say anything, almost instinctively backing off.
But instinct is instinct, and rationality will eventually prevail.
What's more... the man's skin was thin and red, and his breathing was heavy, which showed that he was obviously sick.
Thinking of this, she took two steps closer, raised her hand and covered the man's forehead, and said softly: "Sir, you really have a high fever. I felt that your voice was not right on the phone."
The overly soft touch on his forehead came extremely suddenly, and Shao Ting's eyes instantly regained some clarity.
He raised his hand and grasped the girl's slender, fair wrist, taking her a step away before letting go.
"If you knew that, why did you come here? Aren't you afraid of being infected? Do you want to be taught a lesson?"
The man's low and hoarse voice carries a suppressed calmness that can easily make people discouraged.
Jiang Wan looked up at him, with a hint of accusation in her soft voice.
"Well, I'm here now, are you going to drive me away?"
The girl's eyes were dimmed with a faint light again, which made Shao Ting's eyes darker. After a long while, he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up at him without blinking.
"Have you taken your temperature? Have you taken your medicine? Have you seen a doctor?"
Shao Ting's head hurt even more because of her chattering, but he felt some unknown emotions in his heart.
After a long silence, he spoke solemnly, "Are you relieved after taking the medicine?"
Jiang Wan shook his head.
"worried."
After she finished speaking, she murmured softly, "You're still lecturing me? After all this time, you're still worse than me at taking care of yourself."
Shao Tingxu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that he had indulged her too much, and now she had grown up and was teaching him a lesson.
But at this moment he felt dizzy all over and had no energy to argue with her. He could only stare at her for a long time and then turned around.
"Come in and close the door."
Jiang Wan was extremely obedient when he should be. After closing the door, he followed Shao Ting closely, and sat on the sofa at his signal.
Shao Ting leaned against the sofa next to him, staring at her with his heavy eyelids half closed.
"I'll ask the driver to come and take you home."
Jiang Wan asked him back: "Why don't you let a private doctor come?"
Shao Ting heard that she was trying to change the subject and frowned, "No need."
Men's defenses are obviously higher when they are sick.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips, looked around, and asked, "Have you eaten yet? I didn't see your aunt at home."
The more this girl paid attention to her, the more excited she became.
He couldn't say anything and couldn't scold anyone. He felt very aggrieved when a few harsh words came out of his mouth. For the first time, Shao Ting felt that he had no way to deal with anyone.
He felt even more tired and closed his eyes unconsciously.
Seeing that he didn't respond after being called several times and seemed to have lost consciousness except for his heavy breathing, Jiang Wan quickly sat down next to him and touched his forehead.
Now she could feel more clearly how hot the man's body temperature was. Jiang Wan became really panicked and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Shao, sir, I...I'll call an ambulance for you."
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone from her bag and prepared to make a call, but before she could press the dial button, the phone was snatched away by a big hand and the screen was turned off.
The man finally opened his eyes and looked at her, his voice sounding helpless.
"Can't you just be quiet?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words fell, the girl's tears that had been hanging at the corners of her eyes suddenly rolled down.
"I'm just worried about you, you're just trying to scare me."
The crying tone in her voice was heartbreaking.
"You are good to me and I want you to be well too. You have such a high fever and you just leave it alone. What if you get burned?"
The more she spoke, the sadder she became, her tears falling like beads from a broken string, and she looked increasingly pitiful.
"I will explain the situation to Special Assistant Jiang when we get out. It's up to you how to deal with it. I have done what I can. I will never bother you like this again."
As she spoke, she reached for her phone and was about to leave. However, as soon as she stood up, a big hand grabbed her wrist and pulled it down, and she fell completely into the man's arms.
"Deliberately scaring you?"
Shao Ting held her tighter until their breathing almost blended together, then he closed his eyes and stared at her, speaking word by word: "Not just now, but now."
The man's body was so hot that Jiang Wan felt her own breathing became hot as well.
She could even feel very clearly the tight and strong muscle outlines on the man's waist and abdomen under his shirt.
Jiang Wan's cheeks flushed crimson almost uncontrollably, and she instinctively sensed the danger.
But at this moment, she was firmly trapped in the man's arms, without even the slightest strength to resist. She could only murmur in submission: "Let me go first."
"Let you go and then torture me?"
Jiang Wan's tear-soaked eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but retort: "When did I torture you?"
Shao Ting curled his lips and said, "Since I entered the door."
Jiang Wan naturally wanted to argue, but Shao Ting looked at her with eyes as hard as barbed hooks, making it impossible to know where to start.
The aggressive aura from the man was so strong that she felt weak all over and began to struggle unconsciously.
Shao Ting's eyes dimmed at her struggles. He held her waist and brought her to the sofa and made her sit down.
"Sit still."
