Chapter 87: Promise yourself to me?

The night wind after the rain was cool. Chen Guan put his coat on Jiang Tingwan's shoulders. His fingertips accidentally brushed the back of her neck, causing a slight shiver.

He will be going back tomorrow, and every second now feels like stolen time.

"Will you please invite me up to have a drink of water?"

He chuckled, his fingers gently stroking her earlobe, his tone half-serious.

Jiang Tingwan slapped his hand away and glanced at him: "Boss Shen, do you need a glass of water?"

How dare she let him go up?

That time he half coaxed and half seduced me...

Those images flashed through her mind, her ears felt slightly hot, and she turned around to leave.

But Chen Guan suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

His breath enveloped her like an overwhelming force, and his arms tightened as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

Jiang Tingwan was stunned for a moment, and finally just patted him on the back gently.

"You're really rude," Chen Guan laughed, brushing his nose against her hair, "You're so stingy that you don't even want a glass of water."

Jiang Tingwan pushed him and said, "Get up."

After a few seconds of silence, he sighed and thought that he had become so indecisive.

After a moment, he let go.

But the moment Jiang Tingwan turned around, he called her again:

"etc."

Jiang Tingwan narrowed her eyes and asked him with her eyes "What are you going to do now?"

The next second, Shen Guan pinched her chin and gave her a light kiss.

"Let's go."

He let her go, his voice slightly hoarse.

He didn't dare deepen the kiss, didn't dare to kiss him for too long.

He was afraid that he would not be able to let go, and he was also afraid that if he pushed too far he would annoy her.

Jiang Tingwan looked at him quietly for a few seconds, then said nothing and turned away.

He stared at her back.

He felt somewhat happy because she was wearing his coat, but he felt a little annoyed because her figure was getting smaller and smaller.

She always likes to walk alone, and it seems that this is the case most of the time.

-------------------------------------------

Wen Nian slumped in the sofa, staring at the photos on the phone screen.

Under the dim light, the man held the woman in his arms and kissed her gently.

Although I couldn't see the face clearly, who else could that figure be but Song Zhi?

"Progress is fast..."

Tian Tian was in a hurry to get him away, and it turned out it was all because of Song Zhi.

He narrowed his eyes and rolled his fingertips across the screen.

The woman in the photo has long flowing hair and a slender back. Even the blurred pixels cannot conceal her cool temperament.

The man's fingers pinched her chin, full of possessiveness.

Wen Nian felt a tightness in his chest and a surge of anger rose up in his chest.

Song Zhi clearly did it on purpose.

He should have thought of it earlier.

How could the man who loved to scheme and always went against him miss the opportunity to get close to her?

Wen Nian suddenly put his phone upside down on the sofa, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The night was dark, and the city after the rain was filled with a damp and cold light, just like his gloomy mood at the moment.

He took out a cigarette box and put a bite between his lips, but did not light it.

-------------------------------------------

The night breeze was cool. Jiang Tingwan stood on the balcony, still wearing a heavy coat. The scent of cedar lingered faintly at her nose.

She unconsciously stroked the pink diamond between her collarbones and looked downstairs.

Sure enough, Shen Guan hadn't left yet.

The man leaned against the car, his slender figure looked particularly lonely under the street light, as if blending into the night.

He looked up and his eyes caught hers accurately. Across the long distance, the two looked at each other silently.

Jiang Tingwan took out his cell phone and sent a message: "Are you still not leaving?"

Soon, Shen Guan replied:

"I can't bear to leave."

These three simple words inexplicably stirred up a ripple in her heart.

She could almost imagine the slight smile on the corners of his lips as he typed these words, a little lazy and a little serious.

Not long after, Shen Guan finally turned around and got in the car.

As the engine noise faded away, Jiang Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief.

She crossed her chest with one hand, while the fingertips of the other hand were still fiddling with the necklace, her thoughts a little confused.

Chen Guan was really good to her, and this kind of goodness was always too perfect, approaching her at the right time and leaving at the right time, always giving her enough space and blocking her way to retreat, so that she couldn't even refuse.

Even disturbing her heartstrings from time to time...

Jiang Tingwan's footsteps lingered on the balcony.

But in the end, her eyes fell on the towering Golden Fir Building in the distance. In such a gorgeous night, among so many buildings, this building was still eye-catching and unique.

Her thoughts settled down like this.

Jiang Tingwan shook her head slightly.

She doesn't have time to focus on love now, and she doesn't want to change from "Mr. Jiang" to "someone's girlfriend".

She withdrew her hand from the necklace and was about to turn back to the living room when her cell phone vibrated again. It was a message from Wen Nian:

"Sister, I moved out today. Don't you care where I went?"

Jiang Tingwan then remembered that the seven-day deadline had expired and it was indeed time for Wen Nian to leave.

She replied casually: "Where did you go?"

Wen Nian quickly sent a photo.

On the computer screen, there was a successfully submitted resume, and the recipient was Tingyue Group.

Jiang Tingwan raised an eyebrow and pointed a finger: "?"

Wen Nian replied immediately:

"See you tomorrow, sis^_^"

-------------------------------------------

Normally, Jiang Tingwan didn't need to be present in person for the interview at Tingyue Group, but this recruitment had special significance.

Since the last banquet, Tingyue's reputation has spread far and wide, and the number of people applying for the job almost filled the entire floor.

There was a thick stack of resumes in front of Jiang Tingwan. All of them were graduates from the finance departments of top universities. Their resumes were dazzlingly impressive, as if all the elites in the world had gathered here.

She rubbed her temples and was about to look down at the next document when a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Hello, interviewers. I am Wen Nian."

Jiang Tingwan paused and looked up.

Wen Nian was wearing a neatly ironed white shirt, black-framed glasses, and had a clean and bright smile, looking like an innocent college student who had just graduated.

Several interviewers were visibly stunned because he was just too good looking.

Zhou Luoyao noticed something was wrong, raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Tingwan, and asked silently with her mouth:

"Why is he staring at you?"

Jiang Tingwan's eyes jumped, but she ignored him and lowered her head to flip through Wen Nian's resume.

Master of Finance from Harvard, internship experience on Wall Street, participated in three cross-border mergers and acquisitions...

Compared to the top-ranked resumes just now, this one can be said to be too much or too little.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Wen Nian.

Is this the son raised by the debt-ridden gambler father?

Wen Nian ignored her scrutiny.

He calmly answered the interviewer's questions with clear logic, appropriate words, and even a touch of immaturity at times, which caused everyone to nod frequently.

Until someone asked: "Why choose Tingyue?"

His gaze suddenly turned to Jiang Tingwan, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Jiang Tingwan met his gaze, narrowed her eyes, and silently warned him - don't talk nonsense.

Wen Nian then retracted his gaze and said sincerely:

"I value Tingyue's ability to rise in a short period of time, and I want to come and learn from her."

Everyone showed a satisfied look. His performance was really perfect. Jiang Tingwan could not find any fault with it. In the end, he successfully passed the interview.

"Isn't this the same kid as last time?"

After the meeting, Zhou Luoyao grabbed Jiang Tingwan and said, "What is his relationship with you? His resume is indeed very impressive, but looking at your eyes..."

She paused meaningfully, "It really is like a hungry wolf eyeing meat."

Jiang Tingwan closed the folder expressionlessly: "As my lifesaver."

"oh?"

Zhou Luoyao smiled mischievously, "So he is... ready to pledge himself to me?"

Jiang Tingwan was too lazy to explain and turned away.

But the next moment, she was dragged into the fire escape at the corner of the corridor.

Wen Nian supported her ear with one hand and took off his glasses. Where was the innocence in his eyes?

He lowered his head and approached, his breath brushing against her ears:

"Sister, I said I would see you later."
