The man's kiss came quickly and suddenly, almost instantly robbing Xu Wan of all her thoughts, leaving her mind blank and completely absorbed in the kiss.
but.
When Xu Wan's hand touched the man's back, the undulations her fingertips felt instantly brought her back to her senses.
"Not focused?"
The woman's distraction was quickly noticed.
Xu Wan gently rested her face on the man's shoulder, her fingers moving slowly, caressing the wound on his back.
She had only been watching before, but the impact on her soul was completely different from the feeling of her fingers caressing her skin at this moment.
Her fingers touched not only the burn marks, but also very obvious knife cuts, very fine and dense, and almost in the same place. Just imagining it made her feel unbearable pain.
Xu Wan just touched it, and tears started falling uncontrollably.
She asked softly, her voice hoarse, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"I mean back then."
"I forgot."
Jiang Tingzhou twirled the woman's long hair with his fingers. "She fell in a very uneven place and got scratched."
If she had only looked, Xu Wan might have believed it, but her fingers were rubbing against the wound, and she could distinguish between the cuts and the knife wounds.
The wound was clearly made by repeatedly cutting with a knife. Although each cut was not very deep, with so many cuts, it was impossible for it not to hurt.
“You lied to me.” Xu Wan raised her head and looked at the man’s face. “You said you wouldn’t lie to me anymore. When you came back to China, you said you weren’t Jiang Tingzhou, but Ryan. You were lying to me then, and you’re lying to me now.”
Jiang Tingzhou's expression froze slightly.
He didn't expect his lie to be exposed at first.
"I'm sorry." Jiang Tingzhou kissed the woman. "I was locked up at the time. To stay conscious, I made the cuts myself. I was wearing a black shirt, so they couldn't see my back."
This time, Xu Wan believed it.
She leaned forward and gently kissed the man's lips, her eyes reddening: "It's good that you're back."
"I promised you I would come back." Jiang Tingzhou held the woman's waist. "I won't break my promise."
Actually, Jiang Tingzhou lied to her about the injury on his back.
The process of being hurt is far more painful than being lied to.
He didn't want her to know later.
"Let's wash your hair first," Xu Wan said, rubbing the foam in her hair with her fingertips. "And about Melissa, be honest and you'll get leniency!"
Jiang Tingzhou was not surprised.
Xu Wan will definitely ask Melissa about it.
“Melissa is a capable person. She has been with him for several years. When I first started my company, I didn’t have any trusted confidants, so he lent me a few of his people, including Melissa.” Jiang Tingzhou didn’t hide anything. “Melissa is indeed very capable. She can get things done to my satisfaction without me having to say much.”
"What's wrong? Is she really in charge of your daily life?"
Xu Wan asked this question on purpose.
She wasn't actually jealous.
Jiang Tingzhou is unable to walk, which makes many things very inconvenient for him. It would be a good thing if someone with good judgment could take care of him, regardless of gender.
She has trusted Jiang Tingzhou since they met a few years ago.
The same is true nowadays.
Even though Jiang De'an told her about it that day, Xu Wan still trusted her deep down.
Jiang Tingzhou could also see the woman's half-joking tone, but he still said seriously, "No, when I first woke up, I was in a state of amnesia. Ying Gan told me that I had a wife in China, and Melissa was my secretary, mainly responsible for work matters. We did have a very good working relationship. Later, the company improved, and the salary I paid her was commensurate with her work ability. However, I had decided to return to China, and she suddenly said that she liked me. After I rejected her, she resigned."
"that's all?"
"that's all."
Jiang Tingzhou was open and honest.
His previous company also had many female secretaries, and everyone worked diligently. Even though he was single, no one crossed the line.
That's why Jiang Tingzhou didn't see Melissa's other intentions.
Xu Wan looked at the man and asked seriously, "What about her child? Do you know whose child it is?"
