That night, Jiang Wanning lay in bed, a dazed look on her face. He must have some feelings for her, right? But what about her? The moment he asked her if she wanted to give it a try, she felt nothing but panic, not the slightest bit of shyness.
She just felt it was too unexpected; she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
She was not sure whether she would fall in love with him in the future. If she didn't, she would agree to be with him, which would not be fair to Xue Jinwen at all.
She knows what it feels like to fall in love with someone. She has been hurt, and she doesn't want to hurt others.
The next morning, Jiang Wanning packed up for work and went downstairs.
Unexpectedly, she saw Xue Jinwen waiting for her by the car door. Seeing her, he smiled gently and said, "Good morning."
Jiang Wanning was slightly stunned when she saw it, then walked over and said awkwardly, "You...why are you here?"
Xue Jinwen walked over and looked at Jiang Wanning, who seemed a little uneasy. "I was afraid you might think what I said last night was a bit abrupt, so I wanted to show my presence in front of you today and let you know that I'm serious and this isn't just a spur-of-the-moment thing."
Jiang Wanning looked up at him. She realized that he was such a good guy that every girl would like him. He treated relationships seriously and considerately, which gave girls a sense of security.
At this moment, she actually thought about whether to try to be with him? At the same time, she also gave herself a chance.
But her mental illness and that relationship made her dare not...
"Regarding...what you said last night, I...I think it was a bit too fast. Can we get to know each other for a while? Maybe later you'll find that I have many...many things that boys may not be able to accept."
Xue Jinwen knew that he was rushing to confirm the relationship, so he whispered, "Okay, I'll wait for you. As for what you said about the boy being unable to accept, I know you don't want to talk about it now. Then let me find out slowly later, or you can tell me slowly. Then we can face it together and solve it together."
Jiang Wanning looked at Xue Jinwen, her eyes slightly red. It turned out that he was so good, but she only then realized that her situation was not worthy of him.
Jiang Wanning quickly lowered her head and nodded, "Okay, thank you."
Xue Jinwen smiled and reached out to stroke her hair.
Jiang Wanning's body froze instantly, and she quickly stepped back, her face panicking as she said, "Um...um, we're almost late."
Xue Jinwen withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly and said with a smile: "Okay, get in the car, I'll take you to work."
Arriving at the office, Jiang Wanning got out of the car, smiled and waved: "Thank you, you should go to work soon."
Xue Jinwen sat in the car and said, "Wan Ning, don't make me wait too long." Then he started the car and drove away.
Jiang Wanning watched his car leave with a hint of sadness on her face, then turned and went into the office.
City Hall
When Gu Mingde came back, the first thing he did was to notify all departments to hold a meeting.
As the deputy mayor, Lu Jingshen must of course attend.
The whole day was spent in meetings, and Gu Mingde talked about the deployment and development of the year.
The meeting didn't end until around five in the afternoon. Before it ended, Gu Mingde said, "Depth of Field, come with me to a party tonight. There will be several entrepreneurs from this city and some people from the previous session at the party."
Lu Jingshen nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Gu." Then he went into the office.
After a day of meetings, Lu Jingshen was a little tired. He sat on a chair, picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it, took a deep breath, blew out the smoke ring, and leaned his head back slightly.
Secretary Dong checked the time, knocked on the door, and only opened the door and walked in after hearing the sound from inside.
Secretary Dong took the transfer documents, placed them on the table, and said, "Mayor Lu, the transfer documents for the Xinggangwan house have been completed."
Lu Jingshen casually glanced at the transfer documents on the table, "What did she say?"
Secretary Dong paused and replied, "Ms. Jiang, I didn't say anything. I left after I finished the work."
After hearing these words, Lu Jingshen's face darkened. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Go out."
Secretary Dong turned around, opened the door and went out.
Lu Jingshen took a puff of cigarette, exhaled slowly with an expressionless face, and extinguished the cigarette butt.
Then he picked up the phone and dialed.
Jiang Wanning got off work and looked at the message from Xue Jinwen: "I can't have dinner with you today. I have a meeting."
Jiang Wanning replied with a smile: "Okay, it doesn't matter, you work hard, and we'll have dinner together when you have time." Just as she sent the message, she received a call.
Jiang Wanning looked at the familiar phone number, her expression changed, her smile faded, and she hung up the phone and blocked it.
Lu Jingshen listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and then he sent a text message: "Answer the phone, otherwise I can't guarantee what I will do."
Jiang Wanning looked down and saw the content of a text message. She clenched her fists and her face was filled with anger. She didn't understand why there was still any contact.
She knew what kind of thing could happen to her loved ones with just one word from him, so she had to fight.
Jiang Wanning's eyes were filled with hatred, and she suppressed her anger and dialed the phone.
Lu Jingshen looked at the ringing phone, with a triumphant smile on his face, and answered the call nonchalantly.
Jiang Wanning's pent-up anger suddenly surged, and she said coldly, "If you have anything else to say, could you please finish it all at once? Once you've said it, don't contact me again."
When Lu Jingshen heard the voice on the other end of the phone, he immediately pursed his lips, his eyes cold, and his low voice was faintly gloomy: "Jiang Wanning, do you know who you are talking to?"
