Chapter 54 A More Passionate Kiss
Jiang Wanning's lips were soft, with a little warmth and a faint rose scent. It was fleeting, but it made Xie Yanchuan freeze in place.
It was not until a passerby cheered in encouragement that Shi Wang came back to his senses from the shock and his eyes were bloodshot.
"No, that's impossible..."
He took a step back in disbelief, his whole body shaking as if he had suffered a severe blow.
"Wan Ning, we didn't break up... I never agreed to it."
"Could it be true, as they say, that you betrayed me a long time ago...?"
Jiang Wanning thought he was funny: "I'm just your good schoolmate, right?"
"So what's the point of talking about betrayal? Even if I'm with Xie Yanchuan, so what? Do I need to inform you?"
At this moment, she was standing in front of Xie Yanchuan. The warm light from the street lamp beside her made her raised eyebrows look even brighter.
The breeze blew through her hair, and her confident and bold posture was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look away.
It was also a posture that Shi Wang had never seen before.
The man was lost in thought for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his eyes became even gloomier: "Stop joking, Wan Ning. If you just want to find a man to vent your anger on me, this is not funny at all."
"Come back to me now. I can pretend that nothing happened."
But in response to him, Xie Yanchuan silently took half a step forward.
Although the latter didn't say a word, his unquestionable aura was frightening.
He and Shi Wang looked at each other. One of them was stern and calm, while the other was cold and unattainable.
The moment their eyes met, the aura was so terrifying that even passers-by avoided them for fear of accidentally bringing bad luck to them.
"Xie Yanchuan."
So, Shi Wang pursed his lips tightly.
The red marks from the slap on his exquisite profile now added a touch of seductive fragility to his cold and detached aura.
He originally wanted to step forward and take Jiang Wanning back to his side, but at this moment the phone in his arms suddenly rang.
Shi Wang didn't want to care at first, but the callers were extremely persistent, calling one after another, as if there was something very urgent.
In desperation, Shi Wang took out his cell phone, and his face froze for a moment when he saw the name of the caller.
The call was actually from the law firm. The moment Shi Wang picked up the phone, the panicked voice of the law firm leader was heard from the other end.
"Oh no, Shi Lu! I don't know what happened to the project you agreed on with the Song family, but they suddenly withdrew the case!"
The project he cooperated with the Song family was almost the largest business commission Shi Wang had ever taken on since he entered the industry.
He didn't know how much effort he had put into this. He tried every possible means to persuade the other party for more than half a year. It was not until a few days ago that the other party reluctantly gave in and signed a commission agreement with him.
Everything had been agreed upon, so why would the other party suddenly break the contract at this critical juncture?
Shi Wang suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes coldly and looked at Xie Yanchuan who was sitting opposite him.
At this moment, the boss exclaimed again.
"What did you say? Why is Liu also terminating my contract?"
"And Chen, Wang... What the hell is going on? Shi Wang, where are you? Come back to the law firm and take a look!"
The names of the groups mentioned by the boss are undoubtedly all business commissions that Shi Wang is responsible for.
If Shi Wang had only had some guesses before, now he was sure that all this was definitely the work of Xie Yanchuan, who was sitting opposite him.
"Xie Yanchuan, what do you mean?"
The aura around Shi Wang suddenly became as cold as frost.
At the same time, he spoke again, his tone full of sarcasm: "Young Master's usual trick? Using power to pressure others? Besides this trick, what else can you do?"
The two of them had a fierce confrontation during their school days, and Shi Wang ended up being defeated miserably. Xie Yanchuan used this method at that time.
At this time, Xie Yanchuan used the same trick again. The list of names just reported by the boss of Xinghai Law Firm almost covered most of the hard work he had put in since he entered the industry.
If all the contracts were signed at this time, it would be tantamount to ruining his entire career and would completely destroy the entire Xinghai Law Firm.
This is no different from indirectly taking Shi Wang's life.
Xie Yanchuan remained silent on this, still raising his eyebrows indifferently: "If you still refuse to leave, I think it may be more than just these few companies that will terminate the contract next."
It was obvious that he wanted to use his power to suppress others, and what could Shi Wang do to him?
“…”
Just at this moment, on the other side of the starry sea, the boss's lamentations were still coming in one after another.
It was like one invisible shackle after another, binding him so that he couldn't and didn't dare to move forward.
"Shi Lu, please come back as soon as possible. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider the other people in the law firm!"
Nearly a hundred employees of the law firm still rely on these commissions for their livelihood, and Shi Wang absolutely cannot fall out with Xie Yanchuan at this time.
For a moment, the man clenched his phone tightly, digging his fingertips into his palm.
Finally, he made the decision when the boss of Xinghai started complaining and wailing again.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
The emotion that flashed in Shi Wang's eyes eventually returned to indifference.
After all, he couldn't gamble the entire law firm and his own future, and in the end, reason prevailed over emotion.
What's more, in Shi Wang's opinion, even if Jiang Wanning was really with Xie Yanchuan, as long as they were not married, he still had a chance to win her back.
In the past, it was Jiang Wanning who pursued him hard and failed to get his love for three years. If it were the other way around and he was the one pursuing her, Jiang Wanning would definitely not reject her.
Thinking of this, Shi Wang's originally manic mood calmed down again.
"Wan Ning, today I will assume that what you said were just words spoken in anger."
"I'll wait for the day when you figure it out and come back. If you're willing, I'll come pick you up in person."
He gave Jiang Wanning one last, rare look of tenderness and affection before hurriedly leaving under Xie Yanchuan's intimidating gaze.
After all, there is still a lot of mess at the law firm waiting for him to deal with when he returns.
Only when the tall and cold figure completely disappeared did Xie Yanchuan finally breathe a sigh of relief and look at Jiang Wanning beside him.
It was already late at night, and they were the only two people left in the originally bustling music square.
Jiang Wanning almost immediately withdrew her hand from Xie Yanchuan.
The woman who was originally confident and dazzling was now unusually embarrassed and turned away from Xie Yanchuan's gaze: "I'm sorry, Xie Yanchuan, the situation was urgent just now, so I had to resort to this desperate measure... You shouldn't take it to heart, right?"
After all, a man like Xie Yanchuan should never be short of women around him.
So it was just a fleeting kiss, and the other person probably wouldn't care.
But unexpectedly, the next second, Xie Yanchuan suddenly took half a step forward, closing the distance between them.
The man who should have been self-disciplined and polite was now condescending. He suddenly leaned close to Jiang Wanning's ear and whispered with a low laugh, "I don't mind, but since I helped you get rid of that scumbag just now, shouldn't I be paid a little?"
"What do you want in return?"
Jiang Wanning looked up subconsciously, and the next second her eyes suddenly widened.
The man opposite actually raised his hand, placed it on her chin, took over the fleeting kiss, and kissed her again.
