Chapter 96 Don't Push Yourself Too Far
As soon as the door opened, Xie Duo's tall figure pressed forward.
Jiang Tingwan dodged to the side in preparation, but was still grabbed back by the man's iron-like arms.
She was pressed into an embrace with the scent of pine wood, and her nose hit his stiff suit, causing her to shed tears in the corners of her eyes due to the pain.
This is the third time...
She turned to look at Zhou Luoyao with despair, only to see that he was already leisurely curled up on the sofa, holding a cup of black tea and winking at her, with an expression that said "This show is really exciting" written all over his face.
Jiang Tingwan patted Xie Duo's back helplessly: "Why are you here too?"
"Also?" Xie Duo grasped the key words sharply, and his sharp eagle eyes narrowed slightly, "Who else has been here?"
Jiang Tingwan's breathing stagnated and she cursed herself for speaking too quickly.
She changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Don't blame others for what happened. Tell me, how did Dean Xie suddenly appear in Hong Kong?"
"Official business." Xie Duo let go of her, paused, and his voice suddenly became deeper. "I heard about your kidnapping as soon as I arrived this morning."
Official business? Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What kind of official business could make Chief Xie come all the way from Kyoto to Hong Kong?"
Xie Duo did not answer immediately.
The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto his angular profile, outlining a cold and hard outline.
Jiang Tingwan then noticed that there was a faint dark circles under his eyes and that the collar of his suit was a little wrinkled.
"Since I'm fine, you can..."
She was about to order them to leave, but Xie Duo predicted what she was about to say and interrupted her.
"No... My official business is confidential. I can't let anyone know that I'm in Hong Kong." Xie Duo said meaningfully, "So, I can't stay in a hotel. I can only..."
Before he could finish his words, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
Xie Duo turned his head alertly: "What's that sound?"
"Cat!" Jiang Tingwan blurted out, "I have a ragdoll cat, it's very naughty..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhaoye rushed out with a gloomy face and pushed Xie Duo three meters away:
"Thank you! Don't push your luck!"
He stole his job and still wants to pester her?
Jiang Tingwan took a breath of cold air. What happened?
"you--"
Before she could finish her words, Xie Duo had already grabbed Lu Zhaoye's wrist with his backhand and threw him to the ground with a neat shoulder throw.
The two equally tall men started fighting each other, and the sound of their fists and feet was so loud that the teacup in Zhou Luoyao's hand shook.
"Stop!" Jiang Tingwan wanted to stop the fight, but was stopped by Wen Nian.
"Sister, be careful," the boy whispered in her ear, "these two seem to have practiced fighting, and they might get hurt by mistake."
He said these caring words, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, like a fox who only saw dog biting dog.
Xie Duo elbowed Lu Zhaoye and forced him back. He turned around and saw Wen Nian holding Jiang Tingwan's hand. His pupils suddenly contracted: "Who is this?"
"It's none of your business!" Lu Zhaoye took the opportunity to kick him, but Xie Duo dodged it with a nimble leap.
The two men fought fiercely in the living room, and the expensive Persian carpet was trampled into a mess.
Zhou Luoyao whistled: "It's so lively~" She shook her phone, "Should we call Mr. Song as well? Four of us can just play a mahjong table together."
Jiang Tingwan's temples were throbbing.
They had a great time fighting, but this was her home.
She took a deep breath, picked up the glass kettle on the coffee table and smashed it to the ground.
"Bang!"
The flying glass fragments finally stopped the two men.
"You three," she said slowly, "get out of here."
Xie Duo straightened his messy collar and said calmly, "I have no place to live."
"I didn't book a hotel." Lu Zhaoye said confidently.
Jiang Tingwan turned his murderous gaze towards Wen Nian.
"That's good."
The boy did not find a reason to stay like them, but raised his hands obediently: "Sister, I have a suite downstairs that can accommodate three people." He blinked, "It's just right for these two guests."
It was the first time that Lu Zhaoye and Xie Duo formed a united front, and four glares were shot at Wen Nian at the same time.
Jiang Tingwan narrowed her eyes. Wen Nian had indeed been pretending to be poor from the beginning, as he was able to buy the house downstairs in such a high-end area. He even lied that he couldn't stay in a hotel and insisted on staying at her house. But she was too lazy to argue with him now.
"That's settled."
She decided, "You two can stay here if you want."
All they do is fight each other all day long. Soon their house will be turned into a haunted house.
