Chapter 12 Leave Now
Jiang Wanning has never cried in front of anyone in her life.
Even though she had been following Shi Wang tirelessly for many years and had suffered countless injustices, she had never been angry.
Because she is clear about her choice, she can accept any consequences and will never regret it.
It was not until this moment, when the jade bracelet left to her by her grandmother was broken, that Jiang Wanning suddenly realized how naive she had been.
It turned out that she simply couldn't accept the consequences of this moment.
I can't even suppress the emotions that are out of control at this moment.
"Get out of the way."
She finally managed to hold on, picked up all the broken jade stones on the ground, held them in her hands and walked out step by step.
She was afraid that if she stayed here for another second, she would burst into tears.
The moment those red eyes met Shi Wang's through the thick lenses, the latter was also stunned for a moment.
In the man's memory, Jiang Wanning had always been gentle, well-behaved and obedient. Even if she was provoked, she would just lower her eyes and remain silent. She had never shown such a fierce and indifferent look like today.
The last time he felt such a strange feeling was during their chance encounter in the hospital that night.
It was as if her true nature couldn't be restrained beneath her obedient appearance, which made him doubt that he had never really known this girlfriend who had been with him for three years.
"etc......"
Shi Wang stretched out his hand to stop her, but Xu Moli grabbed his wrist first.
The woman clutched her stomach pitifully. "Shi Wang, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I think I got bumped because of the loud noise just now. Can you help me to the side and rest for a while?"
Shi Wang's hesitant gaze finally retracted when it fell on Xu Moli's slightly bulging belly.
"good."
He carefully helped Xu Moli to settle down on the sofa beside him, not knowing that Jiang Wanning had already walked to the road in front of the crew's gate.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse today, but it is not snowing again. However, the cold air around us turns the heat exhaled by people into white mist that lingers around us.
It’s actually already this point.
Delayed by the farce just now, Jiang Wanning looked down at her mobile phone. It was almost midnight, which made her a little worried about how she would be able to get a taxi back.
But I didn't expect that the moment I looked up, a lonely black SUV caught my eye under the street light across the road not far away.
Jiang Wanning recognized that it was Xie Yanchuan's car. She didn't expect that the other party would be waiting for her here. The man opposite had already gotten out of the car.
Xie Yanchuan noticed the broken jade in her hand at a glance. He frowned briefly but didn't say anything more. He just turned around and found a piece of soft cloth from the car.
"Put it in here first. It's not a good idea to just hold it like this."
"Thanks."
The other party's attitude of not asking too much about the truth made Jiang Wanning feel a lot more relaxed, and her nerves, which had been tense since just now, relaxed at this moment.
"Why are you still here?"
Facing Jiang Wanning's questioning, Xie Yanchuan's attitude was calm.
"Be a good person and do your best. I actually just finished my work not long ago. I passed by here on my way back and saw the light was still on, so I came over to wait for a while."
"It's cold outside. Get in the car and I'll take you home."
Jiang Wanning did not refuse. She has never been a pretentious person in front of outsiders.
However, she was in a bad mood today, and Xie Yanchuan himself was a man of few words, so the two of them were relatively silent all the way. Unfortunately, they encountered road construction on the way, so they took a long detour. When they arrived downstairs of the community, it was already late at night.
"Thank you so much. I'm really sorry for bothering you today. Please help me again. I'll treat you to a meal someday as a token of my gratitude."
"Wait a moment."
When Jiang Wanning was about to leave, Xie Yanchuan stopped her.
She turned around and saw that the other party had taken a bottle of iodine and cotton swabs from the car at some point.
"Senior Jiang, I just noticed that your ankle is injured."
"It's so late now, the pharmacies around here should have closed long ago. I still have some iodine leftover from earlier. You can use it first."
Jiang Wanning was stunned when she heard this.
First, it was a surprise that Xie Yanchuan would actually prepare such a thing in the car, which refreshed his image as an "old cadre" in his mind.
The second is that this pain has been noticed even by others, but Shi Wang, her real boyfriend, has never asked about it until now.
Jiang Wanning thanked Xie Yanchuan again with gratitude.
Just when he was lamenting that he owed the other person too much and was afraid that he would not be able to repay him in a short time, he ran into Shi Wang at the corner of the apartment entrance.
At that time, Xie Yanchuan had just left.
The bright white moonlight fell on Shi Wang's cold and handsome face, casting shadows that made his eyes, which were looking towards Jiang Wanning, dim and unclear.
Jiang Wanning then remembered that she had accidentally taken a long detour on the road and arrived home later than Shi Wang and the others.
But she didn't want to talk to him at the moment, so she walked past him and got on the elevator first, and the man followed her in silence.
Just when Jiang Wanning was about to open the apartment's security door, Shi Wang suddenly grabbed her wrist.
The latter's slender fingertips still had a hint of coolness, which gave Jiang Wanning goosebumps.
Before she could react, the other party's dull voice exploded in her ears: "Why are you back so late? Where have you been?"
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
Jiang Wanning looked at Shi Wang coldly, but saw that he was staring at the bandage wrapped around her right wrist in a daze.
"Wan Ning, are you still upset about what happened last night?"
"About the bracelet, Jasmine didn't do it on purpose. Now that it's broken, I promised to buy you a new one."
"So how long are you going to be angry? I remember you were never like this before. Can't you just be a little bit nicer?"
Shi Wang frowned with a headache. His work had been going badly recently and he encountered many troublesome problems.
So I really don't understand why Jiang Wanning would get angry with me again and again just for a bracelet. She used to be the most obedient and docile person.
Even though the bracelet did have special meaning to her, it was just an old item after all. Whether it was lost or broken, he would compensate her with a new one.
Given his current financial resources, these are not worth mentioning at all.
But Jiang Wanning's eyes made him feel as if he had never really understood the other person.
The warm breath of the man beside her ear, unlike the coldness of his fingertips, caused Jiang Wanning to shudder.
She felt like she was hearing a fairy tale, and just as she was about to ask, she didn't expect that the door of the locked apartment opposite was pushed open from the inside.
Xu Moli came out dragging her suitcase, her face tearful. "Sister Wan Ning, I really didn't mean to take your bracelet. Since you can't forgive me, I'd better leave now."
