Chapter 96 Don't Take It Too Seriously

At the same time, City A in Xingguo.

Last night's heavy rain has stopped.

Jiang Wanning woke up in a very warm embrace.

Looking at Xie Yanchuan's handsome face so close to her, Jiang Wanning's heartbeat quickened again.

At the same time, she also recalled last night, when the man took a shower and curled up in the tattered sofa that was obviously incompatible with his body shape. She couldn't bear it, so she used the excuse that she was afraid of the cold and asked him to come to bed and sleep with her.

Originally, the two of them slept back to back, but somehow, after she woke up this morning, they ended up in this position.

She usually had a restless sleep, but she had no dreams last night.

It seemed that it was Xie Yanchuan's embrace that made her feel inexplicably at peace.

Stop...

Jiang Wanning murmured in her heart, feeling that she was becoming increasingly weird, and she couldn't help associating all these random things with Xie Yanchuan.

It was obvious that before, when she liked Shi Wang the most, she was at most so excited that she couldn't sleep.

It has never been like this before, as if my mind is completely occupied by the man in front of me.

Just as Jiang Wanning was thinking this, Xie Yanchuan suddenly laughed in a low and hoarse voice above her head: "Awake? Ningning."

Jiang Wanning couldn't help but look up and met the latter's overly clear eyes.

Only then did she realize that Xie Yanchuan had woken up a long time ago, but had been sleeping with her until now.

"Um."

Still aware of what Jiang Wanning was thinking, Xie Yanchuan smiled and lowered his eyes, looking into his arms: "Are you ready to continue holding me?"

Jiang Wanning lowered her head following his gaze, and only then saw the hands that had been tightly holding onto his clothes around his waist while she was sleeping, refusing to let go.

“…”

No wonder Xie Yanchuan fell asleep here with me after waking up.

Jiang Wanning finally realized the truth and immediately let go of Xie Yanchuan's hand as if she had been electrocuted.

She calmly sat up from the bed and asked, "What time is it now?"

If we ignore her red ears hidden under her beautiful hair, it would probably be more convincing.

Xie Yanchuan certainly did not ignore this point.

Even the restlessness he had felt last night had cleared up at this moment. He was in a rare good mood and curled his eyes: "It's just past seven o'clock, it's still early."

"If you don't want to continue sleeping, you can get up and have breakfast. It will be just enough time for us to return to City A."

"No more sleep."

Seeing Jiang Wanning shaking her head, the two of them got up from the bed almost at the same time, walked to the sink and started washing.

The sunrise in the morning shines through the narrow window, and the beams of light scatter in, revealing the warmth of Zhongjingyi.

Jiang Wanning seemed a little dazed for a moment.

It seemed like I had been living with Xie Yanchuan for a long time.

She had fantasized about such a heartwarming scene more than once, but it was with another man who had no possibility of being with her.

Jiang Wanning couldn't help but shook her head, and once again drove Shi Wang's figure out of her mind, and decided not to think about this person again.

She met Xie Yanchuan's worried gaze, gave him a reassuring smile, and at the same time, lowered her eyes to check the time on her mobile phone.

According to the schedule Qi Huaian had given her before, she would return to City A around noon on this round trip, just in time for the company's project audition in the afternoon.

Jiang Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, sent a confirmation message to Qi Huaian, and then closed her phone again.

The final moments were just as Jiang Wanning had imagined.

After she and Xie Yanchuan had breakfast, it was only around ten o'clock when they returned to City A.

Seeing that there was still some time before the afternoon auditions, Jiang Wanning suggested that Xie Yanchuan take her to the company first: "I'll go check out the on-site arrangements first. For lunch, I can just order takeout later."

"You've been driving for so long, you must be tired. If you have nothing else to do, go back to the hotel and rest for a while."

Xie Yanchuan thought about it carefully after hearing this. It seemed that he really had a rare day off today, so he agreed with Jiang Wanning: "Okay, then contact me later when you are almost done. I will pick you up from get off work."

"knew."

Jiang Wanning turned around gracefully and waved.

Seeing her figure walk into the office building and disappear, Xie Yanchuan smiled helplessly and prepared to drive back to the hotel.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Wen Shihua suddenly sent him the latest message.

[Xie Yanchuan, the missing person has been found. If you return from City C, please come over to Linshui Mansion.]

The smile that was originally on Xie Yanchuan's lips gradually faded when he saw this message.

He drummed his long knuckles on the steering wheel in front of him.

The previous warmth in his eyes turned cold at this moment.

It seems that there is no way to relax today.

…

At the same time, Jiang Wanning came to the company.

But I met an unexpected "acquaintance" in the elevator.

"Boss Pei."

Jiang Wanning looked at the tall man in front of her with a little surprise. He shouldn't be here.

However, she did not show it on her face, and there was a perfect aloof smile on her delicate face.

"Why are you here? Is there any problem with the previous project documents?"

"No." Unexpectedly, Pei Yufeng suddenly approached and condescendingly surrounded Jiang Wanning in the small area under his control.

The man's cold voice, at this moment, was filled with a strange ambiguity: "Ningning, what if I came here for you?"

Jiang Wanning: “…”

Pei Yufeng's words really made her feel confused.

I don’t seem to be very familiar with this person?

She had only met him twice before, and he had looked down on her at that time. How come just a few days had passed and he seemed to have completely changed his personality?

Especially when he shouted the word "Ningning", Jiang Wanning felt a chill in her heart.

In response, Jiang Wanning remained calm and distanced herself from the other party: "Boss Pei, I don't think we know each other well enough to call each other that."

Her tone was a bit impolite, but Pei Yufeng didn't back down unexpectedly.

Instead, the man pressed on step by step until he met Jiang Wanning's increasingly dangerous eyes.

It was like a gentle and innocent rabbit that suddenly tore off its disguise, revealing its terrifying true side beneath the skin, leaving Pei Yufeng stunned.

After a while, he smiled and distanced himself from Jiang Wanning again: "Mr. Jiang, don't take it too seriously. I was just joking with you."

Just then the elevator door reopened, and he walked out slowly and calmly as if nothing had happened.
