Chapter 15: Rose Returns
The message sent by Jiang Wanning was actually not long.
To put it briefly, the general meaning was that she would leave Shenzhen completely in fifteen days. She wanted to get to know Shi Wang thoroughly, and some things needed to be discussed face to face, so she made an appointment to meet for the last time in fifteen days at the restaurant they used to go to.
But this is not what Xu Moli wants to see.
So she took advantage of Shi Wang still taking a shower and reached out for his cell phone.
Just when her fingers were about to touch the phone, a bony hand took the phone away before her.
"What's wrong? Did someone send me a message?"
It turned out that Shi Wang had already finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom.
The man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist was wearing a gray bathrobe, which vaguely revealed his fine muscle lines.
The slender fingertips holding the phone still had traces of mist from the bathroom, and the only thing missing was the look in her eyes as she looked at the screen.
Xu Moli smiled at this and handed him a towel to wipe his hair. "Yeah, I saw messages popping up in several of your work groups. I thought something urgent was going on and was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to come out already."
Shi Wang flipped through his phone in silence.
It was just as Xu Moli said, the work group messages on his WeChat kept flashing.
Seeing that the boss of the law firm had successfully negotiated a big case today, he was in a very good mood and made an appointment with the other party's person in charge to get together at the bar they often go to tonight. There was also a group of colleagues who were tagged in Shiwang.
Shi Wang rubbed his eyebrows and replied "OK" in the group.
It was not until he put his phone down again and didn't notice anything unusual that Xu Moli, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that she got away with it by deleting the last farewell letter sent by Jiang Wanning before Shi Wang came back from taking a shower.
Xu Moli's face once again put on a gentle and considerate smile: "In that case, Shi Wang, you should rest first. I'll go outside to help Auntie pack up her things."
"Um."
Shi Wang had been so busy yesterday that he barely slept the entire night. He was indeed a little too sleepy to open his eyes. "You're still pregnant, don't tire yourself out. Just let my mom handle anything."
"Don't worry, you can rest assured!"
Xu Moli left the room and considerately turned off the bedroom light for him before leaving.
Just when the lights dimmed, she stroked her bulging belly with her slender fingers and smiled with ambiguous meaning.
…
On the other side, Jiang Wanning was staring at the man opposite her with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Xie Yanchuan? Why are you here?"
Xie Yanchuan had clearly just woken up and was getting ready to go out for a morning run. He was wearing simple home clothes, and his eyes were a little confused and helpless, which was very different from his usual image of a powerful aura and intimidating presence.
If someone said that he looked like a college student who had just entered society, I'm afraid some people would believe it.
Jiang Wanning smacked her lips.
However, the other party only looked like this for a moment, and soon returned to his usual stern appearance.
"I should be the one asking you, Senior. This is my home."
"Your home?"
"I remember you and Shi Wang lived in the same community before, didn't you?"
"I don't live over there."
Jiang Wanning didn't wear glasses today, revealing a face without makeup, but it was already breathtakingly beautiful.
This made Xie Yanchuan's eyes look at her slightly darker.
"Something happened at my aunt's place a few days ago, and I went to help. I happened to pass by."
"oh."
Jiang Wanning finally understood: "It seems we are destined to be together."
But after she finished speaking, she became a little uneasy again, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone to look at the location sent to her by Su Xu.
It is indeed Unit 4, Building A, Jiangwu Community.
But this also seems to be Xie Yanchuan's home.
Could it be that my best friend made some mistake, and gave me the wrong address for the house of my boyfriend's cousin's friend?
Jiang Wanning was brainstorming in silence, and was hesitating whether to call Su Xu to confirm at this time. When she woke up from her sweet dream early in the morning, Xie Yanchuan, who was standing opposite her, suddenly raised his hand and pointed.
"Senior Jiang, I think you're looking for the person across from me."
Still that calm and affirmative tone.
Xie Yanchuan seemed to see through everything.
Jiang Wanning looked up in surprise. Her stuck mind suddenly cleared up and she quickly covered her phone, took a step back and entered a password into the password lock on the door opposite Xie Yanchuan.
With a "click", the password was correct. Jiang Wanning could no longer hide her embarrassment. When she was about to explain how she could have made such a low-level mistake, Xie Yanchuan was understanding and helped her out.
"The design of the residential complex here has some flaws. I even chose the wrong door the first time I came here."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Wanning gradually relaxed, and the other party seemed to talk to her a little more because of these chance encounters.
"Of course, Senior Jiang, are you here to find friends?"
"No." Jiang Wanning shook her head: "Something unexpected happened, and I want to move out and be alone."
It was not difficult for Xie Yanchuan to guess that the accident Jiang Wanning mentioned was a conflict between her and Shi Wang.
But he also noticed the latter's obvious low mood and did not ask any more questions: "Is that so? It seems we will be living as neighbors for a while."
"Yes, thank you for your help."
Xie Yanchuan seemed stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly: "Don't be so polite, Senior Jiang."
"Remember I seemed to have promised you before that you could bother me anytime and I wouldn't mind."
It was clearly just a polite greeting, but when the other party said it, there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes, which surprised Jiang Wanning for a moment.
It seems that Xie Yanchuan is not as difficult to get along with as the rumors say.
But he was indeed a very busy man. While he was talking to Jiang Wanning, his mobile phone had received many calls urging him to work, and in the end he had to say goodbye in a hurry.
Jiang Wanning watched him leave. Before she even had time to take a closer look at her new home, she received a call from Su Xu.
"My best friend, come down quickly! It's me!"
"Why are you up so early today? That's not like you at all."
After Jiang Wanning went downstairs, she soon saw an extremely cool sports car in front of the community gate. Her best friend in the driver's seat was already ready to go. When she saw her coming, she seriously adjusted her sunglasses on her forehead.
"I heard from Lin Xiao that tonight is the welcoming party for your return."
"As best friends, we're definitely going to stick together for this."
After she finished speaking, she took Jiang Wanning to change her clothes from head to toe without any hesitation. It was not until she painted Jiang Wanning's lips with the bright red color again that the woman exclaimed.
"That's more like it! The most dangerous Black Rose in our dark night is finally making a powerful comeback!"
