Chapter 175 The East Wind Overwhelms the West Wind
She had no way to retreat, nowhere to retreat, and could only keep shrinking into the corner until the solid wall pressed against her slender back.
Xu Xian swallowed nervously, watching the man with a mysterious look approaching her and finally standing in front of her.
"Why don't you run away?" Jiang Shibai raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the electronic lock on the door frame, and said in a meaningful tone.
Seeing that he asked the question even though he knew the answer, Xu Xian shrank his neck in fear, trying to get his snow-white and elegant swan neck into the collar of his coat as much as possible, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.
After a while, she stirred her hands into a ball, raised her head tremblingly, and her wandering eyes fell on his slightly exposed chest. The sharp collarbone was faintly visible, and she said with a lack of confidence: "If I said... I just went back to the room to get pajamas, would you believe it?"
"What do you think, Mrs. Jiang?" Jiang Shibai narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke each word with great emphasis.
"I think you will believe it." Xu Xian's red lips moved and he whispered softly.
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why should she feel guilty?
Shouldn't sleeping be something that both parties agree on?
It makes her seem like she's in the wrong for running away?
Xu Xian suddenly came to her senses and immediately raised her head and chest, straightened her back. The cleavage squeezed out by her halter dress was faintly visible, and her skin was as white as cream. The man's eyes instantly deepened a little.
She didn't notice his murderous look, and kept chattering, "Is it illegal for me to go back to my room? Is it worth it for you to chase me all the way? And I left my room card in there..."
The woman opened and closed her mouth, not giving Jiang Shibai any chance to argue. His elegant brows were tinged with helplessness and indulgence.
Hearing her righteous accusation, he suddenly raised his hand towards her.
Suddenly, Xu Xian stopped talking and stared at him warily, his vigilant eyes following the movement of his palm exactly.
"You, what are you going to do?"
Wouldn't this man get so angry that he would hit her?
Domestic violence man???
In her horrified eyes, Jiang Shibai's slender and beautiful fingers hooked the shoulder strap that had slipped down to her arm, and then hooked it back to her shoulders.
His thin lips curled up into a smile, and his voice was low, "What did Mrs. Jiang think I was going to do?"
In fact, her thoughts were all written on her face, but he didn't expose her.
Knowing that he had misunderstood his intentions, Xu Xian was completely silent this time. He shook his head like a quail, felt something was wrong, and nodded.
Finally, she licked her lips and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't expect you to do anything, haha!"
After laughing dryly twice, Jiang Shibai's expression became more serious, and his indifferent and cold eyes softened a little. He said earnestly: "Don't do such dangerous things next time. You are running around in the hotel dressed like this. What if you encounter someone with bad intentions?"
As he spoke, he lowered his gaze, clenched his fist and coughed lightly.
It's not that he was worrying too much, but her beauty was too enchanting.
Xu Xian knew that she was in the wrong and that he was thinking about her, but when she thought of his actions and verbal teasing in the room, she couldn't help but step on him.
Both of them were wearing the hotel's white slippers. One small foot was firmly placed on the other big foot. She didn't use any force, but it was enough to make her feel confident.
"How dare you say that? It's all your fault. If you hadn't wanted to drag me to bed, would I have run away in such a hurry?" Xu Xian put his hands on his hips, raised his chin coquettishly, and spoke with certainty and reason.
She was not wrong at all.
The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt. Why should she relieve this bastard man's desires?
She wasn't a tool for his entertainment.
Suddenly, without any warning, a golden bean slipped from the eye socket, slid down the delicate cheek, and stung Jiang Shibai's eyes.
He frantically wiped away the burning tears with his fingertips, hunched his shoulders, cupped her delicate face with both hands, and said hurriedly, "Why are you crying for no reason? It's my fault, everything is my fault, don't cry, baby."
Regardless of whether you are wrong or not, it is always a good choice to admit your mistake first.
Her tears were more precious than pearls, and he felt heartbroken every time one of them fell.
Xu Xian shed a tear and suddenly felt that she was being a little hypocritical, but she didn't want to show weakness in front of him, so she pouted and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
When facing him, she always couldn't control her temper.
She had never felt this kind of inexplicable emotion towards Sheng Anyang before. It was like an emotional outlet that could only be released to special people.
She stared at the man with an expression that said if he didn't tell her the truth, she would not let him go.
Jiang Shibai was a thoughtful person. After thinking about her attitude, he could basically guess most of the reasons.
"I shouldn't have gotten you a slip dress and underwear without your consent. I also wanted to sleep with you without asking for your consent, and I didn't keep my promise. I'm sorry, sweetheart, I didn't consider your feelings."
The man lowered his head obediently, his attitude of admitting his mistake was just right, his noble head lowered like a well-behaved and obedient big wolfhound, with his edge hidden and only loyalty left.
For both of them, the east wind always prevails over the west wind, and the west wind always prevails over the east wind, and they are equally matched.
Seeing that he knew he was wrong, Xu Xian didn't bother to argue with him, mainly because he felt there was no need to make a big deal out of it.
"Alright, since you apologized sincerely, I forgive you and I won't do it again."
Jiang Shibai's eyes flashed darkly when he heard that. He suppressed the upward curve of his lips and said "hmm" sincerely. He weakly defended himself, "Actually, my dear, you misunderstood me. You still don't quite understand my usual style. If I really wanted to, do you think you could get out of the bathroom?"
His usual style is to execute the law on the spot, and the feeling in the bathtub is incomparable.
He was not an irrational beast who would not let go of a piece of meat. It was already late tonight and he had to work tomorrow, so he naturally would not let her get too tired.
Xu Xian: “…”
Isn't it too late to explain now?
She wasn't a worm in his stomach, and she didn't know what was going on in his mind.
The hotel corridors also have heating, but the space is so large that the heat is difficult to maintain. Xu Xian shivered suddenly, and was not as cold-resistant as the man in thin pajamas.
Seeing this, Jiang Shibai immediately took her cold hand and went back to the suite upstairs to avoid continuing to talk in the corridor and disturbing others.
If someone from the company went out late at night, they would be regarded as perverts if they stood at the door in the way they were dressed.
The night passed without incident. The next day, the company team continued to play with the ST staff in the morning and held a meeting together in the afternoon.
Xu Xian didn't see Sheng Anyang the whole time. He thought he wouldn't show up, but he didn't expect to meet him at a business dinner for the medical industry in Berlin.
After a round of social engagements, Xu Xian sat on the sofa to rest and leisurely ate snacks. The sugar content of German desserts was surprisingly high, and she was like a mouse that fell into a rice jar, overjoyed.
Suddenly, a shadow fell on her face. She looked up blankly and met Sheng Anyang's bloodshot and slightly tired eyes, as if he had not slept all night.
Sheng Anyang forced a pale smile, "Xianxian, can I talk to you?"
Xu Xian subconsciously looked at Jiang Shibai who was socializing not far away.
Sheng Anyang saw her look clearly, and a tingling sensation rose in his throat.
"It won't take you long. Can't we just treat it as a reunion with old friends?"
Xu Xian hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
She stood up and followed Sheng Anyang to the terrace.
