"I wasn't crying because of you, I just..."
"Come in and let's talk slowly."
Jiang Tingzhou pulled Xu Wan into his room.
The business king room they booked was a semi-open suite, with one wall separating the bedroom from the living room.
Xu Wan sat on the sofa, and Jiang Tingzhou sat beside her, his arm naturally resting on the back of the sofa behind her.
After a brief moment of awkward silence, Jiang Tingzhou broke it, "Your friend's husband caused you trouble at the hospital today, didn't he?"
"Yes." Xu Wan recounted what had happened that day. "Xie Ning may suspect that I was following him for evidence in the lawsuit."
Jiang Tingzhou raised his arm and gently smoothed the woman's stray hairs with his fingers. "I believe that even if Lü Wei isn't here, you can handle this matter in your own way, so you don't need to feel that I've solved it for you."
"Thanks……"
“We’re husband and wife, you don’t need to be so polite with me.” The man took off his glasses and leaned slightly closer to him. “Although we had a whirlwind marriage, I’m a very traditional person. Since we’re married, I’ve never thought about divorce.”
An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air.
Xu Wan, however, dared not indulge in it recklessly.
Jiang Tingzhou is such a good person, how could she keep his mother's affairs a secret...?
"Jiang Tingzhou, I..."
"Um?"
As the man's arm fell, his fingers gently pinched her chin, and his thumb lightly caressed her thin lips.
The intimate gesture left Xu Wan's mind blank, her cheeks flushed, and all the words she had just prepared were melted away by her rising body temperature.
The two people were getting closer and closer.
Xu Wan was so helpless that she closed her eyes.
As the man's breathing drew closer, Xu Wan felt her lips being softly covered, like a feather gently falling, sending a tingling sensation through her.
"I know, I've always had a pair of invisible wings..."
The melodious ringing of a bell suddenly broke the silence and the ambiguous atmosphere.
In a panic, Xu Wan subconsciously clenched her teeth.
"hiss……"
The next second, the man inhaled and a faint smell of blood filled his mouth.
When Xu Wan looked again, the man's lips, which had been perfectly fine just moments before, were now stained with blood.
"sorry!"
Xu Wan was stunned, and her first reaction was to apologize.
"It's nothing." Jiang Tingzhou casually wiped the blood from his lips. "You answer the phone first."
Xu Wan then reached into her pocket and took the phone out.
The screen displays the name [Yu Shuangshuang].
"Wanwan! Can you come to my house right now? Xie Ning suddenly came to knock on the door for some reason, and I... I'm too scared to open it!"
The moment the call connected.
Yu Shuangshuang's voice, trembling with tears, came from the other end of the phone.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wan explained the situation to Jiang Tingzhou.
Yinyi Town is very small, and there are few cars at night.
In less than ten minutes, Jiang Tingzhou's car had already stopped downstairs at Yu Shuangshuang's house.
The two had just gone upstairs when they saw Xie Ning at Yu Shuangshuang's doorstep, wearing a mask.
Xie Ning glanced at Jiang Tingzhou and then looked at Xu Wan, a disdainful smile in her eyes. "Attorney Xu, not bad, changing two men in one day. At this rate, how about considering my friend Zuo Changdong tomorrow...?"
"Bang!"
Before Xie Ning could finish speaking, Jiang Tingzhou stepped in front of Xu Wan, grabbed him by the collar with his left hand, and swung his fist directly at him with his right hand!
Bloodstains immediately seeped from the pristine white mask.
This punch was much harder than Lu Wei's punch.
