Chapter 1 It turns out you can be gentle to others
Late at night when the wind and snow first arrived, Jiang Wanning stood on the balcony wearing only a single layer of clothing.
She was flipping through past chat messages, but her heart was colder than her body.
His fingertips finally landed on his eldest brother's avatar, and the chat history on it was still stuck on the last message sent by the other party.
[My dad's new company, which he founded overseas, is in need of a manager. You're a good candidate.]
That was two months ago.
Jiang Wanning hesitated for a moment before typing the next line of words.
【Do you still need it? 】
Unexpectedly, the other party responded so quickly.
【need. 】
[Have you finally figured it out and decided not to fall for a man anymore?]
......
Today is the third anniversary of Jiang Wanning and Shi Wang's relationship.
For this purpose, she took a day off from work and was busy all day just to give Shi Wang a surprise.
It was finally evening, and after Jiang Wanning had heated up the cold food for who knows how many times, Shi Wang finally saw him pushing the door open and coming in, wrapped in the cold wind.
"Shi Wang! You're finally back!"
She immediately stood up and helped the other person take off his coat and put on clean shoes. After a while of busyness, she met the man's inquiring eyes.
"Wan Ning, my mother is not feeling well today. Have you taken her to see a doctor?"
"I've been there." Jiang Wanning subconsciously hid her right hand.
There were the scratches she got when she was hit by a car on the road while rushing to take Shi Wang's mother to the hospital today.
If the latter saw it, he would probably give her a lecture.
"The doctor said it was just a common cold causing blood pressure fluctuations, so there's nothing to worry about."
After a pause, she begged cautiously: "Shi Wang, today is our anniversary."
"Can you kiss me?"
“…”
The man's cold and delicate face froze for a moment, but fortunately he did not refuse.
The bony palm, with a biting coldness, covered Jiang Wanning's slender waist.
She shivered from the cold, but was reluctant to break free.
Although she and Shi Wang have been together for three years, she had to sacrifice her dignity to get this relationship from the beginning.
As the daughter of the richest man in Jiang Group at that time, she was attracted by Shi Wang, a top lawyer, right after graduation.
From being stunned by her stunning appearance at first sight to being deeply impressed by her talent later on.
To this end, Jiang Wanning mobilized her circle of friends in Shenzhen, and after learning about the other party's preferences from all angles, she deliberately created opportunities to have in-depth contact with the other party.
I also heard that Shi Wang liked girlfriends who were gentle and virtuous, so the spoiled and arrogant young lady was willing to hide herself and chase after the other party, acting like a little white rabbit who was ignorant of the world, gentle and good at housekeeping.
After three years, Shi Wang gradually changed from resisting at the beginning to accepting it.
Although he didn't take the initiative, he would no longer refuse when Jiang Wanning made a request.
But when it came to that kind of thing, no matter how excessive Jiang Wanning's teasing was, he always held the last line of defense and refused to cross it.
"Wan Ning, I don't want to hurt you before we get married."
"You don't want me to be an irresponsible scumbag, do you?"
Shi Wang always used similar words as an excuse to stop her. Jiang Wanning felt sweet at first, but today she was unwilling to wait any longer.
She has already prepared the proposal ceremony. After tonight, she will propose to Shi Wang and marry him as his bride.
The two kissed passionately, and Jiang Wanning hooked her uninjured left hand around the man's belt.
Just as the restraint in the other person's eyes was about to break down, his cell phone rang.
The ambiguity ended. I don’t know if it was Jiang Wanning’s illusion, but Shi Wang was obviously panicked for a moment when he saw the name of the caller.
But soon, his cold expression was replaced by a hint of tenderness.
gentle?
Such words appeared in Shi Wang's body? Jiang Wanning would rather believe that she was hallucinating.
It was just a woman's sixth sense, but it still made her feel uneasy.
"Who's calling?"
"colleague."
Shi Wang's usually expressionless face unexpectedly flashed with a hint of guilt: "Something went wrong with a case at the law firm."
"Sorry, Wan Ning, I need to go back and work overtime, so I can't accompany you tonight."
"But……!"
But she had been preparing for tonight for a long time.
But all the words he said were ultimately interrupted by Shi Wang's furrowed brow.
"Wan Ning, you know I don't like this."
Jiang Wanning fell silent. Shi Wang was very career-oriented and never liked anything to interfere with his work.
The reason why Jiang Wanning was able to stand out from Shi Wang's many suitors and win this high-ranking flower was not only because of her relentless pursuit, but also because of her awareness of never crossing the line.
But why today?
"Wan Ning, be good. I'll make time to replenish it for you on our anniversary."
Jiang Wanning felt a pang of pain in her heart, and suddenly remembered that Shi Wang had always said this for the past three years.
All the important holidays that were missed because of him ended up with this hastily written sentence, but in the end there was no real compensation.
But Shi Wang obviously didn't care about these things now. When another phone call came urging him to go back, he took his coat off the hanger and hurried out the door.
Jiang Wanning was left looking at the empty room, feeling the excruciating pain in her right wrist.
In the end, she couldn't bear the pain and went to the hospital.
The doctor looked at the swollen wound on her wrist with a serious expression: "Madam, the scrape on your wrist almost broke the bone. Why didn't you come later?"
"By then the nerves will have died, and that would be irreversible damage."
Jiang Wanning felt ashamed after hearing the doctor's lecture. She herself had not expected that a seemingly simple abrasion could be so serious.
Fortunately, the doctor did not make things difficult for her. When Jiang Wanning got some anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication and was about to leave, it was snowing heavily outside the hospital.
She has always been afraid of the cold, so she couldn't help but pull her clothes together when she saw this. But at this moment, a clear and gentle male voice sounded behind her.
"Are you cold? I told you to put on your coat earlier, but you refused to listen."
Jiang Wanning had heard this familiar voice for three years. Even if it turned into ashes, she would still recognize it. It was Shi Wang's voice!
Jiang Wanning thought that the other party had discovered her wrist injury and came back to the hospital. She was happy, but the moment she turned around, she felt like she was in an ice cave.
Shi Wang did appear in front of the hospital in the heavy snow, but the woman he was holding in his arms was another woman.
Afraid that the other person would catch a cold, he even took off his coat and carefully put it on the other person. The tenderness and concern in his eyes were something that Jiang Wanning had not experienced in three years.
"Why are you in the hospital again? I don't like taking medicine."
"Be good, we won't take medicine this time."
"After you finish the examination with the doctor, I'll take you to your favorite restaurant for a delicious meal."
The woman's coquettish voice as she snuggled in Shi Wang's arms made Jiang Wanning feel uneasy.
The backs of the two people she saw leaving were heading towards the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.
