Chapter 98: A Bit Distracted

Jiang Tingwan took a deep breath and clenched his fists until they made a creaking sound.

I opened the door and saw Wen Nian standing outside with a toolbox, smiling harmlessly: "Sister, there are two people missing from my house, and I'm worried that there will be thieves in your place..."

In the living room, the two thieves turned their heads and immediately fixed their murderous eyes on him.

"Let him go." Lu Zhaoye said coldly, "It's enough to have Xie Duo here."

Compared to Xie Duo, Wen Nian made him even more speechless.

This was probably the first time in his life that he felt Xie Duo's existence was somewhat useful.

Wen Nian glanced at Lu Zhaoye's handcuffed wrists and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Sister, you're having a bit of fun." He shook the toolbox, "Do you need to unlock it?"

"No, get out." Lu Zhaoye's face was gloomy.

Jiang Tingwan's mouth twitched: "Why do you carry this with you?"

Wen Nian blinked and said innocently, "I was afraid my sister was in danger and I didn't have time to open the door."

This is probably the most reasonable reason that sounds like this tonight.

Jiang Tingwan held her forehead with her hand: "...Okay, you open it for him, and then you can leave together." She pointed to the toolbox, "Is there a pair of pliers?"

"Of course." Wen Nian looked at Lu Zhaoye with a smile, "I will definitely rescue Mr. Lu properly."

"Who wants you to save him?!" Lu Zhaoye coldly avoided his outstretched hand.

Wen Nian took out the pliers regardless. When Lu Zhaoye dodged, he chased him. The two of them dodged each other at the entrance.

Jiang Tingwan couldn't stand it any longer and kicked Lu Zhaoye on the calf: "Try to move again?"

Lu Zhaoye: "..."

Finally, under Jiang Tingwan's deathly gaze, Wen Nian cut the handcuff chain with a pair of pliers.

Lu Zhaoye glared at Wen Nian's smiling face.

Jiang Tingwan finally saw hope for sleep and grabbed the toolbox: "Everyone get out! Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

She picked up the broom at the door and shooed the three men out like flies. "If you dare to pick my lock again, I will call the police and report you for sexual harassment!"

After regaining his freedom, Lu Zhaoye rubbed his wrist and sneered, "You are partial to this pretty boy."

As Xie Duo walked out, he glanced at Wen Nian calmly and said, "You go too."

Wen Nian waved to Jiang Tingwan obediently: "Good night, sister."

After the door was closed, the living room finally returned to silence.

Jiang Tingwan heaved a sigh of relief. Could it be that her family was going to replace the gate with the same one as the bank?

——————————————————————

When Jiang Tingwan woke up, it was already afternoon outside the window. The sun shone through the gauze curtains, casting mottled shadows on the bed sheets. She turned over lazily and reached for her phone. There was a missed call on the screen - Chen Guan.

She stared at the name for two seconds, then decided to call back.

The call was quickly connected, and the man's low, hoarse voice came from the other end, with a lazy nasal tone: "Awake?"

Why is Shen Guan still sleeping at this time? Jiang Tingwan was slightly surprised: "Are you abroad?"

"Yeah." Shen Guan's voice was a little tired, but still clear. "I saw the news that you were kidnapped."

"Wow." Jiang Tingwan chuckled and deliberately dragged out the tone: "Then Mr. Chen can still sleep? It seems that what he said before was all false."

There was a slight sound of fabric rubbing from the other end of the phone, as if Shen Guan had turned over.

His voice lowered, with a bit of hoarseness from waking up in the morning: "When I saw it, the news that you were rescued by someone who spent 1 billion yuan for ransom was right next to it." He paused, and suddenly called her softly, "Wanwan."

These two words flowed out from between his lips, with an indescribable intimacy and tenderness, which made Jiang Tingwan's heart tremble.

This person... the sound of just waking up is too foul...

Before she could come back to her senses, Chen Guan spoke slowly again: "I will invest 2 billion in your company and get rid of the person who caused you to be kidnapped, okay?"

Is it because he just woke up? Why is this person speaking so bluntly today...

Jiang Tingwan was amused by his tone: "World War II is over and you're sending me a gun? I think you called me because you knew I was alive."

"Well, I missed you."

Shen Guan answered naturally, but his ending tone rose slightly, with a hint of nostalgia.

Jiang Tingwan's fingertips curled up involuntarily.

This stinky fox...

She made up an excuse to hang up the phone and threw it aside.

What the hell? I must not call back next time.

She got up, washed, changed her clothes, and asked someone to deliver food.

However, when the doorbell rang and she opened the door, she saw Lu Zhaoye standing at the door holding her dinner, with his other hand leisurely in his pocket.

Jiang Tingwan had a blank expression on her face and slammed the door shut.

The door panel was held against by a bony hand.

Lu Zhaoye raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Is this how you treat the person who brought you food?"

Jiang Tingwan pinched her brows and thought, forget it, there was no way to stop him anyway, so she simply moved aside to let him in.

"You don't have to go back to Kyoto? The company doesn't care anymore?"

Lu Zhaoye put the lunch box on the table and said casually: "When you go back, I will go back."

This means that he is preparing to go on strike. The young master who is doted on by his parents is willful.

Jiang Tingwan was too lazy to pay attention to him. She turned on the TV and sipped her porridge.

Lu Zhaoye looked at her curled up on the sofa - her long hair casually scattered on her shoulders, a section of her fair calves exposed under her nightgown, and her toes curled up unconsciously - and inexplicably felt a softening in his heart, and a little distracted.

Although his position was taken away by Xie Duo and Jiang Tingwan now treated him like air, but... it seemed nice to be able to look at her like this.

Wen Nian is going to Tingyue to punch in, and Xie Duo has official business, so he is the only one who can come to see her now.

Those two scheming men deserved it.

Lu Zhaoye raised the corners of his lips, took out his phone, and sent a WeChat message to Lu Yiqiao:

【Do you have Xie Duo’s WeChat? 】
