Chapter 105 Anyway, She Didn't Lie

Jiang Tingwan didn't dare to stay long. She quickly finished her breakfast and ran to the deck to get some fresh air.

The sea breeze blew in my face with a salty and humid smell. I stood on the edge of the deck, gripping the railing tightly with my fingers, and looked up to feel the rhythm of the sea.

She heard steady footsteps behind her. She didn't turn around, but she already knew who it was.

"So you and him have been together for a long time?" Song Zhi's voice came from behind, low and restrained, but with a hint of suppressed loss, "He is not just an intern in your company, right?"

How to answer this? Explanation gives people hope. Jiang Tingwan didn't say anything, just let the sea breeze mess up her hair, looking at the surging waves in the distance.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Song Zhi reached out and grabbed her shoulders and turned her around forcibly.

Jiang Tingwan was forced to look him in the eye. His eyes were no longer as unfathomable as before. Instead, they were filled with a hint of anxiety, and even a hint of being out of control.

She frowned slightly and sighed in her heart - someone like Song Zhi shouldn't show this kind of expression.

Behind him is a complicated family relationship. Doesn't he understand that if he makes a mistake, he will lose everything? If someone with ulterior motives sees this, it will easily become his flaw.

She asked herself that she was much more honest when facing him than when facing Shen Guan and Lu Zhaoye, so why did he become like this?

"Boss Song, why do you have to do this?" She sighed softly, her tone calm, "We are just acting, how come you get so immersed in the role?"

Song Zhi stared at her with deep eyes, and spoke slowly after a while: "What about you? Do you think he is sincere to you?"

His tone had returned to calm, but Jiang Tingwan knew that the calmness was just a temporary disguise.

"It's enough that he treats me well within his ability," she said lightly.

Can it be done? Song Zhi chuckled, his eyes sharp: "It turns out that you don't know him."

He knew that if it was really as Jiang Tingwan said, she probably wouldn't have needed to attract investment from him long ago, and Wen Nian was not much worse than him. It seemed that she still knew nothing.

Jiang Tingwan's heart was slightly moved. Could it be that Song Zhi had known Wen Nian for a long time? However, it was not appropriate to ask at this moment. In the end, she just shook her head gently and turned to leave.

"Why do you have to talk about him?" She turned her back to Song Zhi and said softly, "How much do you like him? According to what you mean now, do you want me to have a scandal with you for the rest of my life?"

She paused, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "This doesn't mean I like you, Mr. Song."

After saying that, she left without looking back, leaving Song Zhi alone standing on the deck. The sea breeze ruffled his clothes and blew away the last bit of warmth in his eyes.

Jiang Tingwan sat in the back seat, tapping on her laptop with her fingertips, and the street scene outside the car window quickly receded. She got off the boat and was about to go home.

Suddenly, the car braked suddenly. She subconsciously held the handrail, frowning slightly.

"What's going on?" she asked.

The driver hurriedly got out of the car to check, and came back a moment later to report: "Boss Jiang, there is a car lying across the road ahead, and it seems to have broken down."

Jiang Tingwan looked up and saw a black car parked diagonally in the middle of the road. The man standing next to the car - wearing a neat suit, with gold-rimmed glasses perched on his tall nose, was looking at this side with a half-smile.

It’s thanks.

Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, there was a light knock on the car window.

She rolled down the car window and said calmly, "Advisor Xie, what are you doing?"

Xie Duo leaned forward slightly, his eyes deep behind the glasses, and said naturally: "Boss Jiang, my car broke down. You look so kind, you should help me, right?"

If the car really broke down, it should be his driver who came to talk to her, not him.

Jiang Tingwan stared at him for two seconds, and finally sighed helplessly: "Get in the car."

Xie Duo curled the corners of his lips slightly, opened the car door and sat in the back seat with an elegant posture, as if he was really just hitchhiking.

The car was silent for a moment. Xie Duo leaned back in his seat with a distant look on his face, as if he was "really not familiar with the person".

Jiang Tingwan glanced at him and couldn't help but say, "Advisor Xie, you got into my car in public like this. I don't know what Ou Shan would think if she knew."

Xie Duo's eyes fell lightly on her face: "Completely ignoring President Jiang is the loophole."

"Mr. Jiang, you eat breakfast so quickly. If I don't get in the car quickly, I'm afraid you'll run away again." He spoke lightly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Jiang Tingwan laughed angrily: "How dare you say that?"

Doesn't he know why he eats so fast? He is the culprit, but now he is pretending to be the victim.

Xie Duo didn't respond, but raised his hand to take off his pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His originally gentle and restrained temperament was instantly replaced by his original fierce wildness.

He casually handed her the glasses and said calmly, "Help me hold it."

Jiang Tingwan didn't understand why and took it subconsciously.

But the next second, the distance between the two people in their sight was getting closer and closer.

She was still holding the laptop with her left hand and his glasses with her right hand, and for a moment she couldn't free her hands to push him away.

"Xie Duo, you--" She just opened her mouth, but the rest of the words were blocked by his lips.

Jiang Tingwan regretted accepting his glasses. How could she have thought that he wanted to do such a thing?

What's the difference between this and handing him a knife to stab himself...

Xie Duo placed one hand on her face, caressing her delicate skin, as if to brand the warmth into her soul.

The other hand grabbed the wrist holding her glasses and rubbed the blood vessels.

The kiss came down like a violent storm, deep and fierce, filled with endless desire and possessiveness, as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her up, instantly plunging her into this turbulent vortex of emotions.

Jiang Tingwan's mind went blank and she could only passively endure this enthusiasm and madness.

"Were you...really with that man all night last night?" He asked hoarsely between her lips while panting.

Jiang Tingwan's breathing became a little disordered due to the kiss, but she still had her sanity. When she was hesitating on what to say, he bit her lower lip hard.

"Tell the truth, baby." His voice was low, with an irresistible sense of oppression.

Why did you call me baby...

Jiang Tingwan closed her eyes. Why bother provoking him now? She gritted her teeth and said, "No, he was just talking nonsense."

Xie Duo looked at her. In fact, as long as she denied it, he would believe it no matter if it was true or false. So what if she was lying to him? It was a good thing that she was willing to lie to him...

The gloom in his eyes disappeared, and he gently kissed the back of her hand before letting her go.

Jiang Tingwan looked at the undisguised change in his eyes and felt inexplicably guilty.

But on second thought, she really didn't lie. She really wasn't with Song Zhi last night, right...

Xie Duo stopped the car and pinched her face before getting out, with a bit of attachment in his eyes.

However, as soon as the car door closed, his expression instantly turned cold, and his eyes were filled with alienation, as if the intimacy just now had never happened.

In the dark, Ou Shan's spies saw the whole scene and thought that Jiang Tingwan was trying to win over Xie Duo, but was rejected coldly.
