Chapter 122 I am more useful than Ou Shan's backers
"Go drink your tea." Jiang Tingwan pushed his chest away with one finger, then looked behind Xie Duo. Ou Shan's car was running slowly behind them. She said as if she was watching a good show, "They are still following you. You can't hide tonight."
Xie Duo didn't care, he held her waist and pulled her into his arms, her fragrance instantly hit him. Jiang Tingwan was almost unable to sit still on his lap, so she subconsciously held his shoulders with both hands.
He just stared at her intently and said, "He followed me. Do you think you can get off the bus alone?"
Of course Jiang Tingwan could think of that. If she got off the car now, she would be discovered immediately; if she was sent somewhere else, it would seem suspicious, and Ou Shan would definitely send someone to investigate immediately.
Forget it. Xie Duo has to go to a date later anyway, and she will always find a chance to slip away.
"Then let me go." Jiang Tingwan raised her chin, signaling him to let go.
"No," Xie Duo's hands still firmly held her waist, his fingertips rubbing her waist, "I want to be closer to you." He paused and lowered his voice, "Besides, the performance must be complete."
Jiang Tingwan glanced out of the car window at the black car that was following closely behind them. At this moment, their overlapping figures looked very tempting from the outside.
Now, Xie Duo’s image in Ou Shan’s eyes might be completely changed.
She held her forehead and sighed: "Okay, I'll let you hold me for a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the hand on her waist tighten a little more.
The car slowly drove to the entrance of the hotel where Xie Duo was staying.
Ou Shan's assistant had been waiting by the side, staring at the car door like a hawk. Ou Shan would naturally not miss this opportunity to find out what Xie Duo liked.
He didn't expect that Xie Duo would first pick up Jiang Tingwan and put the coat back on her head. The assistant could only see the woman's slender arms around his neck, which were dazzlingly white under the light.
"Thank you, Consultant, Mr. Ou..." the assistant began tentatively.
Xie Duo didn't even bother to look at him, and strode towards the elevator, saying only, "Tell him I'll be there after I change my clothes."
The moment the elevator door closed, Jiang Tingwan couldn't help but move: "Put me down."
"No." Xie Duo's arm did not move at all. "There are surveillance cameras in the elevator."
"You——" Jiang Tingwan rolled her eyes under the coat covering her, "Then don't touch me!"
What does it mean that this guy keeps pinching the flesh on her belly? She thought she had kept her figure perfect in order to represent the Jiang family at the dinner, but now she felt like he was pinching a circle of flesh out of her...
Xie Duo chuckled and hugged her even tighter.
The elevator to the top floor took an unusually long time to operate, and the only sound in the enclosed space was the sound of each other's breathing. Jiang Tingwan could clearly feel the warmth of his chest, and - a change that could not be ignored.
"Thank you!" she warned through gritted teeth.
"Yeah." The man said innocently, but his hands silently pinched her waist, "Didn't you say you should cooperate with the show?"
The elevator arrived with a ding.
Xie Duo strode towards the suite and swiped his card to open the door in one go.
Only after he put her on the sofa did he finally take off the coat. Jiang Tingwan's hair had long been undone, with a few strands of hair sticking to her flushed cheeks, and her lipstick smudged a bright red, making her look both embarrassed and charming.
Xie Duo pulled open her collar, but his eyes could not move away and he stared at her intently.
Jiang Tingwan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. Just as she was about to speak, she saw him suddenly turn around, take some spare clothes from the closet, and walk straight to the bathroom.
With a "bang", the door closed and soon the sound of water was heard.
Jiang Tingwan was stunned for two seconds, then she reacted and couldn't help twitching her lips. No way... Although she had vaguely noticed it in the elevator just now, she still found it a little unbelievable.
However, she certainly didn't feel sorry for him, and even felt a little gloating in her heart. Who made him so arrogant in the car just now? He even took advantage of her in the elevator.
If you want to blame someone, blame himself for not being able to control his own body.
---------------------------------------------
Xie Duo came out wiping his hair, water still dripping from the ends of his hair, his shirt collar slightly open, with undried water droplets still on his collarbone.
He glanced across the room and found Jiang Tingwan sitting at his desk, looking down at his cell phone, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
He walked over, leaned over from behind, put his arms on the edge of the table, and half-circled her in his arms. Jiang Tingwan paused, but did not look up, just pretending to be calm and continued to scroll the screen.
"Do you want to use the computer?" he asked in a low voice, his voice still slightly hoarse from taking a shower.
"Hmm?" She raised her eyes and met his gaze.
Xie Duo reached out and opened his notebook. His slender fingers entered the password on the keyboard, then he turned his head to look at her: "This is the password."
Jiang Tingwan nodded and replied casually, "Oh."
Xie Duo didn't look away, but instead curled his lips slightly and added: "It was the day I fell in love with you."
Jiang Tingwan's fingers froze, feeling the burning gaze behind her. She looked at the computer screen, smiling: "...Who asked you?"
“No one asked.” Xie Duo chuckled, his breath brushing against her ears: “But after so many years, I have to find a chance to say it.”
I already said that she was just in a bad mood that day... There's no need to write down the days when she beat people and remind her repeatedly...
Jiang Tingwan coughed twice and tried to change the subject: "You let me use your computer, aren't you afraid that I will use it to benefit myself?"
"What are you afraid of?" Xie Duo seemed not to have heard her joke. Instead, he held her hand and led her fingertips to open an encrypted folder. He said seriously, "Go ahead. I'm more useful than Ou Shan's backers."
Jiang Tingwan pulled his hand back and held his forehead helplessly. Could it be that he was possessed... Did he know what he was saying?
"Go away." She waved her hand to drive him away. "Ou Shan is my brother-in-law. I don't have a sister, only a brother. We are not related."
He didn't want to be her relative...
Xie Duo's eyes dimmed, his fingertips gently twisted the hair beside her ears, and whispered: "Okay."
He turned around and prepared to leave, but Jiang Tingwan suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Xie Duo paused and looked back at her.
"Be careful." She frowned, her tone serious for once, "Ou Shan's methods are very dirty, and after what happened just now, I don't think he will let you go easily."
Xie Duo lowered his eyes, not reacting to these words, but his eyes fell on her hand holding his, and suddenly he held it with his backhand, lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand. His lips were warm and the touch was clear.
Jiang Tingwan's fingertips trembled and she subconsciously tried to pull them back, but he held them even tighter.
Xie Duo raised his eyes, his dark eyes were deep, with an undisguised possessiveness: "I only have feelings for you."
Jiang Tingwan's ears felt hot, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart, he always liked to kiss her hand, what kind of habit was this...
Xie Duo laughed softly, rubbing the back of her hand with his fingertips before letting go: "Wait for me to come back."
