"Last night..."
“You called me last night and then fell asleep. I heard the sound of water and was worried that something might have happened to you, so I contacted the housekeeping manager to check on you. I found that you were just asleep after drinking too much. I woke you up, reminded you to go to bed, and then left.”
Xu Wan answered in a very serious manner.
She didn't even believe her own answer.
after all……
Very few people would strip down to their bare feet when they take off their clothes.
It couldn't be said that he was completely naked; from the very end of yesterday, Jiang Tingzhou carefully protected the white cotton vest he was wearing.
Jiang Tingzhou saw through the woman's lie, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile. "Thank you, Miss Xu. I'm sorry to have bothered you yesterday."
“I apologize for bothering you. If you want to apologize, then try to drink less in the future. I don’t want to receive your calls in the middle of the night anymore, Mr. Ryan.”
Xu Wan made a point about the form of address.
The conversation between the two seemed to hint at some unspoken, underlying tension.
"Miss Xu, if I offended you last night..."
Jiang Tingzhou gripped the armrests of his wheelchair, and it would be a lie to say he didn't regret it.
Last night's events practically laid bare the truth about their relationship, leaving only a thin veil separating them.
“Nothing happened between us.” Xu Wan looked at the man, narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked, “Could it be… that I appeared in Mr. Ryan’s erotic dream?”
A few years ago, Xu Wan probably wouldn't have said such a thing.
Over the past few years, as a single mother, she has experienced many things, both at work and in life.
Since no one protected her, she learned to protect herself.
Jiang Tingzhou answered frankly: "Yes."
Xu Wan raised her arm, glanced at the time on her watch, and said, "Mr. Ryan, I have to catch a flight back to Beicheng. Just to clarify, I'm extremely busy. If you have something that absolutely needs my help, then contact me. Otherwise, please pay someone else to help you."
She left, dragging her luggage.
The man, in his wheelchair, did not follow.
After what happened last night, Xu Wan decided to give the man all the dignity he deserved.
She would accept it if he ever wanted to reveal his identity.
He didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't force him.

Xiaoxiao's kindergarten dismisses students at 5:30 p.m.
It's half an hour later than a regular kindergarten, but for the average working person, that's still too early.
Normally, Xu Pingrong or Ling Ya would pick up Xiao Xiao, but Xu Wan had promised Xiao Xiao yesterday, so to keep her word, she went to pick her up herself.
Lu Wei was still driving for Xu Wan.
Over the years, Xu Wan had also advised Lü Wei not to drive for her.
Lu Wei refused, saying, "I promised President Jiang that I would protect Madam closely until he returns."
When the car arrived near the kindergarten, there were already many cars parked on the road. Fortunately, Xu arrived early and got out of the car only after parking in front of the kindergarten.
Because she arrived early, she stood at the front of the waiting area for Xiaoxiao's class.
Soon, the teacher led the neatly lined-up children out of the kindergarten.
Xiaoxiao wasn't very tall in the class, and she always stood at the front of the line with two pigtails on her head, making her easy to spot.
As soon as she came out, she craned her neck to look for Xu Wan, and when she saw Xu Wan standing in the first row of the parents' line, she immediately beamed with joy.
With a teacher supervising her, she couldn't speak; only her beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes.
Wait for the teacher to bring the group over.
"Mommy!" Xiaoxiao jumped into Xu Wan's arms and gave her a big hug. "Mommy, I drew a picture today! It's in my schoolbag! I'll show you."
It's crowded after school.
Xu Wan picked up her daughter. "Okay, can you show it to Mom when we get in the car?"
A little boy next to her suddenly pointed at Xiaoxiao and said, "Mom, that Jiang Xiaoxiao doesn't have a father!"
Before Xu Wan could speak, Xiao Xiao in her arms shouted, "You're talking nonsense!!"
"I'm not lying, you really don't have a dad, your dad doesn't want you anymore, nyah nyah nyah!"
The little boy was also being held by his mother, twisting his body and making funny faces.
