Chapter 72 Two identical faces

After listening to Xie Yanchuan's explanation, Jiang Wanning realized that her little thoughts had been seen through at a glance.

Meeting the smile in the former's eyes, she turned her head away with some embarrassment.

She had never seen Xie Yanchuan like this, Jiang Wanning thought indifferently.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Xie Yanchuan seemed to have become different from when they first met.

It was like a vast and majestic mountain, and finally people could catch a glimpse of its majestic corner.

Fortunately, Xie Yanchuan just laughed and didn't continue the topic.

The car started slowly, and the two looked at each other in silence for a while. When they stopped at the next traffic light, Xie Yanchuan turned his head to look at Jiang Wanning again.

"By the way, Ningning."

"There's something I need to explain to you."

"What?"

Jiang Wanning looked up and saw Xie Yanchuan's slender fingertips unconsciously stroking the steering wheel in front of him.

"I didn't mean to hide the fact that we were going to the same building to work this morning."

"To be honest, I only heard the news when I was on my way to bring you here. It was only when I arrived in front of the building that I realized something was wrong."

Xie Yanchuan paused here, as if hesitating for a moment whether his next words were appropriate, before speaking again.

"Ningning, you may not know me very well. My job may look glamorous, but it's actually very dangerous."

"I don't want you to know too much because it might put you in danger."

Right in front of the two of them, the red light countdown was ticking away. Xie Yanchuan lowered his eyes and looked over there, an emotion that Jiang Wanning could not understand emerging in his eyes.

After a while, he pursed his lips and spoke again: "But I know that this decision is unfair to you. Since we are already boyfriend and girlfriend, the choice of whether to know the truth should be yours."

"So here with me, you can put yourself in a safe position by default, but if one day you want to know the whole truth, I will definitely tell you everything."

Jiang Wanning was stunned for a moment. She had never expected that Xie Yanchuan would specifically explain this matter to her.

Although she wouldn't take it too seriously, just like Shi Wang before, Jiang Wanning never asked about the other person's work.

It's like a chasm that everyone knows is a gap that they will never and will never be able to cross.

After so many years of being sensible, she has actually gotten used to it, but sometimes she still feels a little unhappy in her heart.

Moreover, Jiang Wanning actually knew very well that Xie Yanchuan could have his current status at such a young age.

In addition to the support from his original family, he must have also made a lot of contributions.

He never shows it in front of her, but the temperament that is unintentionally revealed, the non-stop work, and her elder brother's attitude towards him.

All of this made Jiang Wanning realize that he was actually a very dangerous person.

But even such a person, perhaps he already knew that she was approaching him to use him for other purposes, but he was still willing to give her the respect she deserved.

This was something Jiang Wanning never expected.

"I see."

After a while, Jiang Wanning finally responded.

She leaned against the car window, but her hand accidentally touched the wound on her neck.

There was a warmth, and at the same time, an indescribable emotion, that began to spread in her heart.

At the same time, the countdown for the red light ahead finally ended and the car started again.

"Um."

Xie Yanchuan also retracted his gaze from her: "Ningning, what did you want to tell me just now in the office building lobby?"

He was still concerned about the injury Jiang Wanning had just suffered, and his eyes turned cold again.

When talking about serious matters, Jiang Wanning's expression became more serious.

She briefly recounted to Xie Yanchuan what had happened to her at Chuangtu: "This is roughly what happened."

"I think Elaine is a little strange, but even stranger is Ai Heng's whereabouts."

Jiang Wanning pursed her lips, and sure enough, after she finished speaking, Xie Yanchuan's brows also furrowed.

"Indeed, this matter is a bit strange. What does big brother say?"

No matter how powerful Ai Heng was in Chuangtu, he was just an unknown little-known figure in the entire upper circle. Before today, Xie Yanchuan had never even heard of this person's name.

"I can't contact him now, so I went to Lanjiang Mansion just to find him."

Jiang Wanning spread her hands helplessly, but Xie Yanchuan next to her frowned even deeper.

"Okay, I'll take you there first."

"I came here this time because of some things in the circle, but it has nothing to do with Chuangtu."

At the end, he paused, as if remembering something, and said, "I'll help you keep an eye on Ai Heng's situation."

"But honestly, Ningning, they're clearly targeting the Jiang family, and they're acting in secret while you're in the open, so you have to be careful."

"Okay, I know, don't worry."

Just as the two of them finished talking, Xie Yanchuan's cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone, his already solemn expression becoming even more serious. "Ningning, something urgent has happened here. I need to go back to the hotel to get a document."

"It's okay, just drop me off and I can take a taxi over there."

Seeing this, Jiang Wanning replied considerately.

Xie Yanchuan obviously hesitated for a moment: "How about this, the hotel is just on the way to Lanjiang Mansion, how about you come with me?"

"It might just delay your time a little bit."

Jiang Wanning thought about it after hearing this. She was actually not sure whether Jiang Wenzhou was in Lanjiang Mansion or not. She went there just to try her luck.

It wouldn't take much effort to go to the hotel with Xie Yanchuan, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that's fine. I'll go to the hotel with you first."

"I don't know if my elder brother is at the mansion yet, so your work is more important."

Seeing Jiang Wanning agreed, Xie Yanchuan also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned the car around and drove towards the hotel.

But it was just as he said, the hotel was indeed on the way to the mansion, and the two of them arrived at the door of the hotel in a short while.

Xie Yanchuan hurriedly got out of the car: "Ningning, wait for me here for a while, I'll go get something and be back soon."

Jiang Wanning nodded in agreement.

I watched Xie Yanchuan's back gradually walk away until he disappeared.

She lowered her head again and was about to call Jiang Wenzhou when someone suddenly knocked on the car window beside her.

"Hello, excuse me."

Jiang Wanning rolled down the car window, and a face that looked almost exactly like hers suddenly appeared in her eyes.
