After listening to Xiao Qi's explanation, Ning Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still scanned every corner of the room: "Xiao Qi, where do you think Shen Jingwen would hide the token?"
Xiao Qi replied with a hint of frustration: [Master, Xiao Qi doesn't know, but such a precious thing would not be left in plain sight.]
It also wanted to directly tell the host the specific location of the token, but this task seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for the host. After trying several times, it still could not get any useful information.
Although he already knew the answer, Ning Wan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although this house is not big, finding this token under Shen Jingwen's nose in six hours is not an easy task just by thinking about it.
Gradually, there were more footsteps in the room. Ning Wan collected her thoughts and after thinking for a moment, her eyes fell on the table not far away.
Ning Wan walked over very naturally, reached out to the teapot placed on it, gently lifted it with her fingers, and shook it tentatively, but found that there was not a drop of tea in it, and there were two used cups next to it.
It seems that Jun Yan just left not long ago.
Her eyes moved slightly, and she turned around and looked at Shen Jingwen who had followed her into the house. The smile in her eyes did not fade away, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly:
“Master Shen, don’t you want to prepare some tea?”
Ning Wan didn't ask who had come to see Shen Jingwen. She just wanted to find a way to get Shen Jingwen away so that she could completely rule out the possibility that the token was in the reception room.
However, Shen Jingwen did not say a word, and his eyes lost some of their joy, becoming dark and gloomy. He walked towards Ning Wan step by step, until the distance between them was only a short step, then he slowly stopped.
Ning Wan was startled for no reason. When the smile on her lips was about to break, Shen Jingwen simply spread out his hand and stretched it in front of her:
“It is Shen who is being rude. Miss Ning, please wait a moment.”
After he finished speaking, Shen Jingwen lowered his eyes slightly, and his hand fell on the teapot held by Ning Wan. He also took away the used cups on the table, and then turned and left.
The cool touch made Ning Wan relax subconsciously. When she came to her senses, she saw Shen Jingwen who had just stepped over the threshold and walked out.
Seeing this, Ning Wan no longer hesitated and began to look carefully again.
The furnishings in the reception room were extremely simple, with just a few chairs and a table.
About a cup of tea later, Shen Jingwen came back with the pot and saw Ning Wan sitting on a chair waiting for him to come back.
Shen Jingwen's expression remained unchanged, calm and composed. After returning to the table, he placed a cup of tea in front of Ning Wan, and then sat aside again, with no intention of speaking first.
The reception room was too quiet, and Ning Wan couldn't help feeling a little awkward, but Shen Jingwen's eyes were just right as he looked at Ning Wan who was drinking tea slowly.
Compared to three years ago, Ning Wan is less immature and has grown a little taller.
At this moment, Ning Wan had no time to care about Shen Jingwen's gaze. She only felt that the tea in her mouth was bitter and hard to swallow.
"There's only some old tea at home. I'm sorry, Miss Ning." Although Shen Jingwen said this, his expression did not show any apology.
Ning Wan paused for a moment, finished the cup of tea, and placed it back on the table. She responded softly and calmly, "I'm not wronged."
Shen Jingwen's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just silently picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Ning Wan.
Ning Wan's pupils trembled slightly, and she quickly avoided his gaze. After thinking for a while, she decided to chat with the person in front of her about family matters, and then ask him some questions. Then she would naturally know where the token was.
It's just that the ideal state is different from the current tense. Before Ning Wan started talking, Shen Jingwen spoke directly.
