Chapter 21 Unconscious Flirting
Xie Yanchuan protected Jiang Wanning's head with one hand and supported himself between the two of them with the other hand.
When his fingertips touched the other person's soft and delicate hair, his eyes darkened a lot.
It wasn't just his breathing, Jiang Wanning's legs were also hooked around his at this moment. Xie Yanchuan looked back, and that white, jade-like ankle almost killed him.
Unfortunately, the instigator was unconscious. After doing all these unconscious seductive actions, he tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Yanchuan: “…”
He remained stiff for a long while, afraid of waking up the sleeping person, and only after a while did he slowly pull himself away.
Xie Yanchuan helped Jiang Wanning take off her high heels and carefully covered her with a blanket.
After finally settling the people down, Xie Yanchuan returned to his apartment and turned on the shower in the bathroom.
It was not until the cool water poured over his head that his seemingly calm eyes trembled slightly.
When he came out of the bathroom, the time on his phone had jumped to five in the morning and someone called him.
Xie Yanchuan walked to the balcony and answered the call.
"......knew."
"Just follow the plan and prepare to close the net."
The lights in the living room were off, and only the bright white light from the cell phone screen could barely illuminate his sharp eyes, which were completely different from the one Jiang Wanning usually saw. A dangerous storm was brewing.
......
On the other side, when several people from Xinghai Law Firm were having three rounds of drinks with a big client, the door of the private room was suddenly opened from the outside.
Everyone stopped drinking and looked towards the door. It turned out to be Cui Hao who had returned with a cold look on his face.
No one knew how he avoided the sight of Xie Yanchuan and Su Xu. After he came in with a bruised face, he sat down next to the person in the main seat without any courtesy.
He took the bottle of wine from the table and poured himself some wine. He gulped down several large glasses before finally letting out a grudge: "Cousin, you really have to make the decision for me on this matter!"
"Your brother has been bullied like this. If this gets out to others, where will our family put their face?"
"We can't offend the Su and Xie families, but that bitch...!"
"Ahem." Seeing this, the boss of Xinghai Law Firm casually reminded, "Shi Lu is still here."
The lively atmosphere in the box seemed to cool down at this moment.
Everyone turned their attention to Shi Wang, who had hardly spoken since tonight.
"oh?"
The thin and pale man in the main seat also raised his eyebrows with interest at this moment.
"I've heard a little bit about what happened just now. How about Shi Lu? Is that shrewd little beauty your girlfriend?"
Wang Lin smiled playfully, which immediately attracted the others to agree: "Hey, isn't Shi Lu's girlfriend the famous star Xu? A little girl like that shouldn't be in our Shi Lu's eyes, right?"
There was a chorus of teasing all around, and Xu Moli, who was singled out, even smiled sweetly and fell into Shi Wang's arms: "My fellow friends, please stop teasing our Shi Wang. He's rather thin-skinned."
"I'll toast everyone on his behalf. Wan Ning was a junior schoolmate of Shi Wang and I. I usually took extra care of her when we were together in Shenzhen. Maybe she really got spoiled."
After all, Xu Moli has a celebrity status, so everyone present still gave her face and raised their glasses.
After finishing a glass of wine, Xu Moli looked at Cui Hao beside her with longing eyes: "Why don't we ask her to go to Mr. Cui's house and apologize in person some other day? What do you think?"
Cui Hao seemed to have thought of something, and a lewd smile flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to agree, Shi Wang beside him suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand.
The atmosphere in the box, which had just warmed up a little, turned cold again.
Now everyone could see that Shi Wang seemed to be angry.
Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment, Wang Lin spoke up to smooth things over: "Alright, Cui Hao."
"They say she's the schoolmate that Shi Lu is looking after, so stop making things worse."
After all, he has other cases to rely on Shi Wang's help to solve.
"What's more, even though I arrived a little late, I still heard some rumors that Xie Yanchuan publicly stated that he was the one he wanted to protect. The Xie family is not someone we can afford to offend."
"Okay... cousin, I'll do as you say."
Cui Hao seemed a little unconvinced and agreed, and the scene became lively again.
Shi Wang felt his head hurt again.
What lingered in his mind was the image of Xie Yanchuan protecting Jiang Wanning behind him.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After saying this, he walked straight out of the box, ready to find a place to be quiet.
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped out of the box, Xu Moli followed him out.
"Time delusion!"
"Jasmine, why did you come out?"
It was almost dawn, and the bar was no longer as lively as before. The corridor was filled with a faint chill.
Xu Moli sniffed pitifully: "You won't blame me for what I said just now, right? I actually wanted to help sister Wan Ning."
"...I know, I don't blame you."
"Don't be angry with Wan Ning. The little girl is probably just throwing a tantrum. She'll change her mind in a couple of days."
"This matter, alas, is actually all my fault..."
She spoke softly and seemed understanding. As she slowly leaned towards Shi Wang, a smile of triumph flashed in her eyes.
Sure enough, the next second, Shi Wang also sighed: "Jasmine, you don't have to blame yourself so much."
"Wan Ning...if only she could be half as considerate as you."
......
Jiang Wanning slept very soundly last night.
Because of Shi Wang's identity as a lawyer, she always has to work overtime and socialize until late. In order to be considerate of him, she always slept very lightly and would wake up at the slightest movement, just to give him warm care as soon as he returned home.
Now, she no longer has to do these things.
Jiang Wanning had a dreamless night and felt so comfortable that she didn't even want to wake up.
Until my best friend called me like a life-threatening urgency.
Jiang Wanning reached out and answered the phone in a daze. Su Xu's ghostly scream soon rang out from the other end: "Ningning! Do you know what happened last night?!"
"What happened?" Jiang Wanning calmly held the phone further away. "Yesterday you were drunk, and your boyfriend came to pick you up. Now you two are having a sweet time?"
"Ah! What do you mean by kissing my boyfriend? I broke up with him a long time ago, and we won't interfere with each other from now on!"
Jiang Wanning couldn't help but click her tongue when she heard that.
It seemed like only a few days had passed since Su Xu last boasted about her boyfriend to her, and they broke up so quickly. No wonder he had that expression on his face when he came to her last night.
"That brat Chen Jingbai actually had the guts to lie to me, saying he was a little puppy. Actually, he's just a wolfdog. No, he's basically a little wolf cub!"
"Thank goodness he ran fast this morning, otherwise if I caught him, he would be in big trouble!"
Su Xu was still indignant on the other end of the phone, and in the small group chat that they had just created last night, Lin Xiao suddenly popped up a few messages.
One is a photo I just took at the racetrack.
Another post began with a crying emoji: [Sister Ning! Our place is being wrecked! Please help! Ugh!]
