Chapter 145 What Happened That Night
In the living room of the Xie family's old house, everyone who had been somewhat relaxed became silent again because of Xie Yanchuan's words.
For a moment, almost everyone couldn't believe what they heard.
Mr. Xie's status is self-evident, and almost no one present dares to say such words to him.
Except Xie Yanchuan.
Perhaps because of what happened in the past, Xie Yanchuan never took anyone in the Xie family seriously.
Especially Mr. Xie, no one knows what happened between the grandfather and grandson in the past.
But now Xie Yanchuan is still willing to give him some face in front of everyone, as if it is the last bit of decency.
In the extremely quiet living room, everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that no one was willing to take on this job that was destined to "get scolded".
But fortunately, Xie Yanchuan didn't seem to be prepared to get their answer.
After saying this, he took Jiang Wanning and left the Xie family's old house.
......
On the other side, when Xu Moli returned to the hotel, it was already late at night in Singapore.
She seemed to have finally achieved her goal and was in a very happy mood. She even hummed a cheerful tune as she pushed the door open and entered the room.
But the moment she turned on the light, Xu Moli was startled by Shi Wang who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Shi, Shiwang, why are you here?"
Because Shi Wang didn't want to have excessive physical contact with others, the hotel room they stayed in was a presidential suite.
There are two bedrooms and a living room in total. The two of them lived in one of the rooms respectively. At this time, Shi Wang was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room.
Seeing her come back, the man's cold eyes finally raised at this moment, staring at her without blinking: "Shouldn't I be here?"
"Xu Moli, where have you been so late?"
Perhaps because it was late at night, Shi Wang's voice was very soft when he spoke.
His voice was usually clear, but at this moment it gave people an inexplicably cold feeling.
As a result, Xu Moli, who was already feeling guilty, suddenly shuddered for no reason.
She originally thought that a workaholic like Shi Wang, who had left in a hurry after receiving a phone call like that, would definitely be busy for a while before coming back.
Only then did he feel confident enough to deal with his own affairs, but he had no idea that Shi Wang would come back so soon this time.
Fortunately, Xu Moli was in the entertainment industry and had excellent acting skills, so she didn't show her fear on the spot: "Shi Wang, you know, that's not what I meant."
As Xu Moli said this, she also forced herself to put a gentle look on her face again, even though she was so panicked that her back was soaked with cold sweat.
After all, she and Shi Wang had been close for a period of time, and she knew that men were most susceptible to her style.
I wanted to use this to calm the other person down first, and then think of another way to change the subject.
But what Xu Moli didn't expect was that just after she finished speaking, Shi Wang, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa opposite her, suddenly stood up and walked in front of her.
The tall and long-legged man approached Xu Moli until she leaned against the door panel and had nowhere to retreat. Only then did Shi Wang narrow his eyes coldly.
"Let's not talk about this, Xu Moli."
"Let me ask you again, where did you go so late?"
"Or perhaps..." Shi Wang's bony fingers slowly slid down Xu Moli's bulging belly through her clothes. "Did something really happen between us that night?"
The rain outside the window in City A seemed to be falling even harder at this moment.
The sudden flash of lightning also reflected Xu Moli's pale face through the transparent glass.
......
Unlike Singapore, the weather in Shenzhen today is sunny.
It has been snowing here for several days in a row, and it finally stopped today. The warm sun doesn't make people feel bitingly cold.
After Jiang Wanning followed Xie Yanchuan out of the Xie family's old house, she was actually taken to a high-end wedding dress shop.
As if meeting Jiang Wanning's surprised gaze, Xie Yanchuan slightly turned his body and whispered in her ear.
"Ningning, your uncle and aunt's current situation is uncertain. Although we are just going through the motions, I still hope that you won't have any regrets."
His extremely gentle demeanor was completely different from the cold aura he had shown when facing the Xie family elders in the old house.
The feeling of being two completely different people before and after made the staff who received the news and came to respond couldn't help but look sideways for a moment.
This high-end bridal shop can also be considered a family property under the name of the Xie family.
The staff in the store sometimes saw Xie Yanchuan from afar a few times when he was inspecting the work.
But at that time, Xie Yanchuan was mostly serious, and his powerful and intimidating aura made people not even have the courage to get close to him.
It has never been like today, when the eyes that were usually calm would actually fluctuate because of one person.
I think the woman in front of me must be a very important person to Mr. Xie.
Realizing this, the receptionist perked up even more. "Hello, ma'am. What kind of dress would you like to see for an occasion?"
Hearing this, Jiang Wanning paused for a moment as she was about to step forward.
Then, under Xie Yanchuan's smiling eyes, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Engagement banquet."
After she finished speaking, she also showed a perfect smile under the surprised gaze of the reception girl: "I am your Xie Shao and I, can you help me choose a few suitable sets?"
As smart as she is, she can still keenly perceive the different attitudes of the receivers towards Xie Yanchuan.
She soon determined in her heart that this high-end clothing store in front of her was probably the same as the previous "Rufeng" Hotel, a private business that the man had worked hard to build.
“Okay, okay!”
Seeing the young girl covering her face with excitement as she left, Jiang Wanning quietly punched the man behind her in the dark: "You did that on purpose, Xie Yanchuan."
The punch Jiang Wanning threw was not very powerful, and it seemed especially soft when it landed on Xie Yanchuan. The latter quickly blocked it with his quick eyes and hands, and then simply wrapped it in his own hands.
He was somewhat noncommittal about Jiang Wanning's words.
But Jiang Wanning did not miss the fleeting smile in Xie Yanchuan's eyes just now.
Obviously, the latter just wanted to hear her tell others about their relationship in person. Jiang Wanning never expected that someone who usually looked too mature and steady would have such an unknown and childish side.
Especially this side, it seems that she is the only one who knows it.
Jiang Wanning felt as if her fingertips were being carelessly stroked, and her earlobes unconsciously turned red.
