Chapter 43 is a transaction in itself



Lu Jingshen sat in the car with his eyes closed, his slender fingers tapping on the armrest. The driver drove fearfully all the way.

Without even glancing at the back seat, before assigning him to drive this distinguished person,

The club manager warned: "Drive carefully on the road. This is our city leader, be smart."

He was startled and nodded quickly to promise to drive well.

As Jiang Wanning walked out of the corridor, she saw a black Mercedes-Benz parked at the door. She lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, walked over and knocked on the driver's window.

The car window rolled down, and Jiang Wanning saw a strange man. She panicked, took a step back, and said hurriedly: "No... Sorry, I made a mistake."

Just as he finished speaking, the rear window rolled down, and Lu Jingshen's handsome face looked over and said in a low voice, "Get in the car."

Jiang Wanning looked at him for a moment, then lowered her head and got into the car obediently.

With a hint of smile in his eyes, Lu Jingshen watched the little girl get into the car, looking well-behaved, and said calmly, "Drive."

Lu Jingshen closed his eyes, leaned his head back slightly, and whispered, "I've been drinking and can't drive."

Jiang Wanning turned her head to look at Lu Jingshen who was closing his eyes. She was slightly stunned and nodded: "Oh,"

Is he explaining to her? She felt a little surprised and looked over cautiously, wondering if he had a headache from drinking.

Should she give him a head massage?

Whenever her father drinks too much, he gets a headache. Her mother always scolds him while massaging his head, but doesn’t he feel that he is losing his identity?

Lu Jingshen noticed that the little girl finally had the courage to look at him. He slowly opened his eyes, looked sideways, and said, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Wanning smelled a hint of alcohol in his breath and hesitated, "Do you want... do you want me to give you a head massage? It will... make you feel better."

Lu Jingshen raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled: "Okay," and then he tilted his head slightly, waiting for her to come over and press it.

Jiang Wanning moved closer and smelled a faint scent of tobacco mixed with a hint of alcohol. She lowered her head to look at the man's short and coarse hair, and reached out to gently massage the man's head.

Lu Jingshen comfortably leaned his head on the little girl's shoulder, closed his eyes and asked, "How did you do that?"

Apart from doing that thing, it was the first time he let someone get so close to him without any worries.

Jiang Wanning replied softly while massaging: "When I was a child, I watched my mother give my father massages frequently, so I learned it."

Lu Jingshen chuckled, "It seems you will have to give me massages more often in the future."

He never knew that the soft little hands massaging so gently would be so comfortable.

Jiang Wanning didn't stop massaging until the car stopped, and turned her wrist slightly.

Lu Jingshen opened his eyes, sat up straight, lowered his eyes to look at her hand, and saw that the pads of her index and ring fingers were slightly red.

He looked at Jiang Wanning with deep eyes.

Jiang Wanning looked up at the deep-set Lu Jingshen, feeling a little scared and stepped back.

Then Lu Jingshen took Jiang Wanning's hand and got out of the car.

The driver who had already gotten out of the car and was waiting beside me handed me the car keys.

Lu Jingshen took over and said, "You go back."

The man nodded respectfully and turned away.

Jiang Wanning lowered her head nervously, not knowing what she had done wrong to make him angry. Her nose felt sore, her eyes reddened, and she turned her head away.

Lu Jingshen hooked his long arm and pulled the person into his arms.

Jiang Wanning's body stiffened slightly.

Slender fingers lifted her chin,

Jiang Wanning looked at Lu Jingshen with red eyes, her voice trembling: "I'm sorry."

Lu Jingshen asked coldly: "Why do you want to say sorry?"

Jiang Wanning turned away slightly with red eyes.

Lu Jingshen pinched the little girl's chin and straightened it.

"Tell me, why are you saying sorry?"

When Jiang Wanning heard his question, she burst into tears, her voice choked with sobs: "Are you angry?"

Lu Jingshen frowned slightly and said calmly: "I'm not angry," but seeing her so well-behaved and considerate,

"When your wrist gets tired, just stop. Why do you have to keep pressing?"

It was the first time he had seen such a silly woman. Since he was a child, the women around him all had their own little thoughts, high emotional intelligence and IQ, and never did anything without benefit.

But she was with him, and except for the divorce, which she couldn't solve, she didn't ask for anything else, which made him feel like he was a bad person.

If it were any other woman, she would probably be eager to get a house or change jobs and slowly gain her own benefits.

Jiang Wanning didn't even notice the vulnerability and grievance she showed towards Lu Jingshen with a hint of concern.

Due to the family situation, I hid my vulnerability and grievances since I was a child, so as not to worry my parents or cause them trouble. I endured the bullying in silence when I was a child.

Lu Jingshen wiped the moisture off her face with his fingertips and whispered, "Jiang Wanning, before you do anything, you should think clearly about whether it will benefit you, okay?"

He could guess that this silly girl had always been wronged when she suffered injustice since she was a child and never fought for herself.

Jiang Wanning's eyes were red as she whispered, "I...I'm fine. My wrist will be fine soon. But you helped me get a divorce. Isn't that helping me?"

Lu Jingshen curled his lips. Didn't she know that there was a condition for him to help her divorce? The condition was that you had to be with him for a year. Otherwise, with his position, did he have the time to help a woman divorce?

This isn't the Street Women's Office. Doesn't it mean one of his job responsibilities as a deputy mayor is to help women get divorced?

Lu Jingshen chuckled and said solemnly, "Jiang Wanning, I helped you get a divorce because you have to stay with me for a year. This is a condition, not a favor to you."

Jiang Wanning's face turned pale, her body stiffened, tears welled up in her eyes, she hurriedly lowered her eyelids to wipe them, and said in a trembling voice: "Well, I... I know," her fingers involuntarily clenched the hem of her clothes.

He was reminding her that the relationship between him and her was a transaction.

Lu Jingshen looked at the tearful little face, frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Go up first," and then strode towards the elevator.

Jiang Wanning lowered her head, wiped her tears, and got on the elevator. Her voice trembled slightly, "I'm sorry."

Lu Jingshen glanced at the little girl who lowered her head and said coldly: "You don't need to apologize to me, we just got what we needed."

Jiang Wanning was stunned to hear his cold words.

Yes, that’s a deal in itself!

She crossed the line!
