Chapter 24 In what capacity?
"Wan Ning, do you really have to talk to me like this?"
Shi Wang seemed a little angry, and his cold eyes and brows were dim in the light of the winter evening.
"And do you know how dangerous it was just now?"
"What if you lose? Do you really have to circle around Cui Hao and bark like a dog?"
Jiang Wanning suddenly felt ridiculous.
Even at this point, she still had the naive illusion that Shi Wang came to her specifically after the game because he wanted to care about her safety.
But in fact, the man is just afraid of losing his face.
"Time is delusion."
Jiang Wanning couldn't help but curl her lips, the bright red color revealing a hint of sarcasm.
"First of all, since I dare to speak up, it means I am sure I will win."
"Secondly."
She stood there, her eyes meeting Shi Wang's. Their gazes intertwined, yet they were brewing emotions that neither of them could understand.
"Lawyer Shi, in what capacity are you disciplining me? As Xu Moli's boyfriend?"
When Jiang Wanning said this, she deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last few words.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but when Shi Wang heard these words, his pupils trembled for a moment.
But before he could say anything, his cell phone rang.
Shi Wang frowned and answered the phone. Xu Moli's anxious voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Shi Wang, where are you? I can't find you!"
"Auntie just called and said she accidentally hurt her foot at home. Come back with me!"
Xu Moli's anxious voice was quite loud, and it was particularly clear in front of the empty dressing room at this moment.
Jiang Wanning gestured goodbye and said, "It seems that Lawyer Shi is very busy. Please don't waste your time on me."
"Late Lemon..."
After Shi Wang hung up the phone, he opened his mouth to explain something. Coincidentally, Su Xu came back with the car and honked the horn twice in front of the lobby door.
"goodbye."
Jiang Wanning turned around and got into Su Xu's car without looking back.
The afterglow of dusk shone in the rearview mirror, stretching Shi Wang's tall shadow longer and longer until it finally disappeared.
"Ningning, I didn't mistake that person just now, it was Shi Wang, right? Why did he come to you?"
"nothing."
Jiang Wanning shook her head and leaned against the window with her hands after getting in the car.
Despite her seemingly calm expression, her fingertips couldn't stop trembling slightly.
As expected, even she felt a little scared when she thought about the life-and-death moment just now.
“…”
"Ningning, Ningning, are you listening?"
It happened that Su Xu drove past a traffic light and stopped, looking towards her.
Jiang Wanning finally came back to her senses: "Huh? What's wrong?"
"Didn't Lin Xiao go to the hospital during the game just now? He just sent me a message saying that the injured player is now out of danger."
"He suffered a minor concussion, nothing serious. And since tomorrow is Christmas Eve, he asked us to go celebrate together."
Christmas Eve.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanning's eyelashes trembled.
Time flies so fast. There is only less than a week left before she leaves Shenzhen.
"It just so happens that you don't have anything to do recently, and you're definitely going to quit your job on the crew, so why not just come with us and relax."
"Okay."
Jiang Wanning stretched and agreed.
She really needs to relax, otherwise she might not have such an opportunity again when she takes over her father's overseas company.
......
On the other side, Shi Wang followed Xu Moli anxiously back home and saw Qin Huifang sitting in the middle of the living room with tears and snot all over her face.
"Aunt!"
Xu Moli anxiously stepped forward to help the person up from the ground, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was only a minor sprain.
Shi Wang, who was standing aside, suddenly thought of the scene where Jiang Wanning's wrist was injured some time ago for some reason.
It was obviously much more serious than this, but she endured it without saying a word.
Compared to Qin Huifang's wound, if they had come back a little later, it would probably have healed.
Shi Wang was inexplicably annoyed: "Mom, please don't make such a fuss over such a small matter."
Qin Huifang's complaints suddenly became louder when she heard this: "Ouch! Who am I hurt for? If it wasn't to make dinner for you, would I have to endure this at my age?"
"Auntie, don't be angry, Shi Wang is just too busy lately."
"He's busy, he's always busy! He never spoke to me like this before! It's only since that Jiang Wanning showed up that he's always complaining about me!"
"Shiwang, let me warn you, now that that damn girl is gone, don't even think about bringing her back home!"
In response to her, Shi Wang closed the door tightly.
Seeing this, Qin Huifang finally wiped away her tears, stood up from the sofa, and glanced over there twice with a sly look in her eyes: "Moli, do you think Auntie acted like this just now?"
"Does the gold necklace you promised me count?"
"Of course it counts."
Xu Moli let go of the hand that was supporting Qin Huifang, looked at the door of the room where Shi Wang was locked up, and a dark emotion flashed in her eyes.
"I'll have my assistant deliver the necklace to you tomorrow."
......
Christmas Eve is coming soon.
Jiang Wanning took a taxi to the hotel agreed upon with Lin Xiao and the others.
Before leaving the door, she carefully sent a resignation text message to her previous crew.
Unexpectedly, when I got off the elevator, I met my neighbor who was also getting ready to go out.
The temperature in Shenzhen has dropped significantly recently. Xie Yanchuan was wearing his usual outfit today, a black down jacket. His black hair, which was usually meticulously groomed, was let down, and he lost a lot of his imposing aura.
Jiang Wanning suddenly remembered the scene when she got drunk the night before.
When she woke up the next day, she had lost all memory and had no recollection of what happened that night.
But after all, it was the other person who took care of me. I haven't seen him for the past two days, so I should say thank you to him.
Jiang Wanning was inevitably a little embarrassed: "Xie Yanchuan, thank you for what happened that night."
"I haven't seen you these past two days, and I haven't been able to thank you in person."
The man didn't say anything, but turned his head after she finished speaking.
The direct gaze made Jiang Wanning's heart skip a beat for no reason.
"Ningning, that's not what you said that day."
"Didn't you agree with me that you would call me Yanchuan from now on?"
“…”
Jiang Wanning was stunned for a moment before she understood what Xie Yanchuan was referring to.
What I didn't expect was that the other party still remembered what I said, which was just a casual courtesy.
"Okay, Yanchuan, thank you, is this okay?"
After he finished speaking, Xie Yanchuan's eyebrows suddenly raised into a beautiful arc.
"Ningning, happy Christmas Eve."
