"Believe me?"
Shen Jingwen's emotions seemed calm, but his heartbeat had already quietly accelerated.
His eyes fell on Ning Wan's face, not wanting to miss any change in her mood, fearing that she was just deceiving him.
Ning Wan nodded and responded without hesitation:
"Of course, you are a scholar. My father told me that scholars never lie."
No matter what, there’s no way you can go wrong by giving out the good guy card.
Shen Jingwen got the answer he wanted, but he thought that since Ning Wan could think of such a matter concerning the Ning family's survival, she must have some understanding of human nature. He didn't expect it to be such a simple reason.
No wonder Zhou Wenhuai tricked him into going up the mountain.
Shen Jingwen thought for a moment, then looked at Ning Wan, who seemed to be showing no signs of vigilance, and asked, "How about going to the inn?"
Ning Wan nodded, completely unaware that the other party had already stabbed her in the heart.
Seeing that Ning Wan had no objection, Shen Jingwen took her to a nearby inn.
Everything went smoothly. Seeing Shen Jingwen closing the door of the wing room, Ning Wan took the initiative and said, "There's no way I can return it to you."
Ning Wan spoke in a calm tone, her hands tightly clutching the corners of her sleeves. She looked calm, but her whole body was a little stiff.
"If you are here for that token, there is no need for us to talk." Seeing that Chen Jingwen didn't say anything, Ning Wan tightened her grip a little more and added calmly.
Shen Jingwen was stunned for a moment, looking at Ning Wan who seemed a little uneasy, he understood something in his heart and explained: "It's not for the token."
The token was just a tool to meet Jun Yan smoothly. If he really wanted to submit to him, it would be impossible to stop him just by losing the token.
What's more, he wanted to test it out, so naturally he would not give up halfway because of these little episodes.
Hearing Shen Jingwen say this, Ning Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the corner of her sleeve loosened slightly, but she was not completely relieved, and continued:
"Breaking off the engagement is impossible. Don't even think about asking me to give up and convince my father."
Shen Jingwen looked at Ning Wan in front of him and did not explain as before, but only briefly
After a long silence, he slowly spoke:
"It's not about breaking off the engagement."
"But if you want, I can cooperate."
When Shen Jing heard this, he once again thought of his previous plan to take Ning Mansion.
He could almost imagine how Ning Wan would be eager to leave after knowing the truth, find Ning Cheng'an, and mention the cancellation of the engagement again.
Ning Wan didn't know what Shen Jingwen was planning at this moment. After hearing what he said, she shook her head, cautiously and tentatively saying:
"What exactly do you want to talk about?"
What to talk about?
Shen Jingwen's grip tightened slightly, "I can promise you to return the token, and I can also not cancel the engagement, but there is one thing you must know..."
Ning Wan also became serious after hearing this, thinking that Shen Jingwen must be talking about something very important.
"Even if there is no Third Prince Jun Yan, there will be other princes."
"If you really don't want the Ning family to be involved in this battle for the throne, then cancel the engagement now before anything happens."
Shen Jingwen said this with his back to Ning Wan. Looking at the closed door in front of him, his palms were already sweating with nervousness.
He waited and waited, but Ning Wan never rushed out.
I don’t know how long it was before Shen Jingwen couldn’t hold back his anger. He turned around and asked, “Don’t you have anything to say?”
