Chapter 157 "You can try to rely on me"
Jiang Yunyu was holding her hand as she walked forward. Xu Wanci lagged behind him half a step, her heart beating a little faster.
Different from the ambiguous relationship during their last conversation in the study, his every move now carried a certain degree of dominance that left no room for questioning.
In short: a bit fierce.
Jiang Yunyu took Xu Wanci's hand and walked to the corner of the study where the printer and other office machines were placed. Then he let go and placed the document he had been holding in his other hand on the table.
Then he started a machine on the desktop.
Xu Wanci took a glance and saw it was a shredder.
Realizing something, her eyes widened slightly.
Is he going to break up these two prenuptial agreements?
And specifically in front of her?
Xu Wanci's guess was correct, but it was a little different.
The difference is that it wasn't just him who destroyed the agreement, but both of them.
To his surprise, Xu Wanci's hands hanging at his sides were covered by a big, broad hand, which led him to pick up an agreement document and stuff it into the shredder.
The shredders rolled over the paper, making a slight sound.
One, two...
The entire document with the words "Prenuptial Agreement" printed in black and white was placed into the paper inlet and was completely crushed and torn into pieces.
The subtle noise stopped and the study returned to silence.
Just as Xu Wanci was thinking about Jiang Yunyu's intention.
The next second, my waist tightened.
"ah-"
Xu Wanci exclaimed and sat on the table again.
Familiar posture, familiar feeling of being suspended in the air.
The difference is that this table is made higher to facilitate the operation of the machine. Now she is half a head taller than Jiang Yunyu.
Xu Wanci lowered his eyes, and Jiang Yunyu raised his eyes slightly.
Their eyes met.
Adhering to the principle of asking if you don't understand, Xu Wanci poked Jiang Yunyu's shoulder with his index finger: "Why are you suddenly pulling me to tear up the agreement?"
Weird.
Xu Wanci really didn’t understand.
Jiang Yunyu half-supported his hands on both sides of Xu Wanci's body. Upon hearing this, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at her with some disappointment:
"I thought you were concerned about the agreement, so you refused to explain things to me."
In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time.
We just happened to come across this incident and we dealt with it together.
You refuse to tell him when something happens?
The only recent incident was this afternoon.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanci asked back: "Have you seen the trending searches?"
There was a firmness in his tone.
Seeing the man nod his chin slightly, Xu Wanci suddenly became curious.
Those trending searches didn't seem like she was in any trouble, at most it was just about the "friendship" of the guests.
"Why do you think so? What if it's true?"
Jiang Yunyu's body stiffened slightly.
He hesitated for a moment between half-confession and full confession.
In the end, I chose to be completely honest.
I told him everything about accidentally seeing the message on my phone last night and "accidentally" seeing the page on my computer tonight.
I see.
Xu Wanci showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
The air was eerily quiet for a moment.
She didn't say anything, and Jiang Yunyu's heartbeat was disordered for a moment.
He raised his hand and held Xu Wanci's hand, gently stroking the delicate and soft back of the hand, half-lowering his eyes: "Are you angry?"
"?"
Immersed in his own emotions, Xu Wanci looked puzzled: Why was she angry?
Because he accidentally read a few of her messages, or because they were open on the computer screen where anyone passing by could see them?
Xu Wanci shook his head, "I'm not angry, really."
It's a bit embarrassing.
Thinking of the content that Yu Haoyu posted last night, and Su Qingge’s explanation this afternoon, Xu Wanci felt a little numb.
Even though she hadn't done anything, she still felt guilty about being caught red-handed.
However, Xu Wanci tilted his head with interest:
"If you care so much, why didn't you ask me first last night?"
Looks like nothing happened.
"Ahem," she suddenly cleared her throat again and clenched her fist to his mouth. "Interview, sir. How did you feel at that time?"
Jiang Yunyu: "..."
Jiang Yunyu was somewhat amused by her, and the last bit of bitterness in his heart disappeared completely.
"Why?!"
Xu Wanci cried out in surprise as he felt a slight pain on the inside of his wrist.
Last second.
Jiang Yunyu grabbed her wrist with his backhand and pulled it up, biting it gently. Then he looked up at her and said, "Jealous."
The last tone sinks, and it sounds like a wronged and coquettish tone.
Why bite her because you are jealous?
Xu Wanci glared at him angrily, pulled his hand back behind his back, and refused to let him hold it.
She still tried to comfort him, "There's nothing wrong between him and me. I haven't replied to those messages yet."
Based on her many years of experience in reading novels and comics, she knew that if there was a misunderstanding, she had to speak up, otherwise it would become a crematorium, which would be terrible.
Put yourself in their shoes.
If she found someone who was not related to her in any way texting Jiang Yunyu as "brother", she would also...
Well, jealous.
Xu Wanci had to admit that her favorability bar towards him seemed to be almost full.
So much so that in addition to liking each other, they also vaguely developed a... possessive desire for each other.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanci half-lowered his eyes and wanted to jump down to find his cell phone to show the "physical evidence".
Her feet were not touching the ground, but she felt a warm touch on both sides of her waist. Jiang Yunyu tightened his arms and exerted force, but her jumping movement was stopped, and her slightly raised hips were pressed against the table again.
Xu Wanci: “……?”
Before Xu Wanci raised his eyes and said anything, he felt a heat source approaching, his shoulder felt heavy, and his neck felt itchy.
She subconsciously tilted her head.
The man who had just stood straight and upright was now bending down and burying his head in his shoulder.
His chin rested on the front of his shoulder, and his shallow breath fell into the hollow of her neck.
At this moment, their positions seemed to be switched. Xu Wanci became the one in a superior position, holding the dominant power, while he became the humble, begging lower person.
"Actually, I want to say more," a deep and magnetic voice sounded in my ears.
The distance was so close that Xu Wanci could hear it clearly without concentrating.
"You can try to rely on me."
Rely on...him?
Xu Wanci silently repeated these three words in his heart.
She stared blankly at his slightly protruding shoulder blades with her eyes lowered.
In the past twenty years, Xu Wanci has long been accustomed to solving all problems by himself.
Because there is always no one behind her.
When she is wronged or encounters injustice, she will seize the opportunity and fight hard if she can resist; if she cannot resist, she will bite it into pieces and swallow it, digesting it alone.
She walked alone from the rural orphanage into the bustling big city. The weather along the way was changeable, sometimes windy, sometimes rainy, sometimes sunny, sometimes thundery.
She learned to deal with it on her own, even though she was in a very bad state at the beginning.
Life beat her up repeatedly, but she became strong and resilient.
A netizen's words are a true portrayal of her.
Because of her background, her appearance, her education, and her hard work, she becomes a good marriage candidate in the eyes of outsiders.
It becomes a topic and bargaining chip that can be used to gain favors.
They stood on high and looked down at her arrogantly and frivolously, saying that she needed someone who could take care of her and that they were willing to give her a home, a shelter from the wind and rain.
It seemed like this was a great honor and gift to her.
What she had to do was to accept it immediately with gratitude and tears.
It's actually quite disgusting.
But... he won't.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanci pursed his lips and said in a very light tone: "Do you really want me to rely on you?"
"It's desire." Jiang Yunyu corrected slowly.
Xu Wanci did not continue to talk about this topic, but raised his hand and patted the man's back:
"You get up first."
Jiang Yunyu did as he was told.
After standing up again, he stared at her without blinking.
"Why?" Xu Wanci asked with a smile.
Only she knew the nervousness and helplessness in her heart.
The man looked at you tenderly and answered without hesitation: "Because I want you to need me."
It wasn't that he was arrogant and thought she needed him, but he longed for her to think of him and need him.
My heart is pounding.
Xu Wanci lowered his eyes: "What if one day you feel annoyed?"
"That day will never come."
Xu Wanci didn't say anything else, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he didn't.
She raised her calf and gently touched the side of Jiang Yunyu's leg with the instep of her foot. "Turn around."
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, confused but did as he was told.
The next second, his neck tightened, a rich fragrance permeated his nose, and a soft body suddenly appeared on his back.
Jiang Yunyu reacted quickly, holding the back of her knees firmly with both hands, and locking her firmly around his slender waist.
Xu Wanci put his arms around his neck and rested his chin on his shoulder.
"Carry me back."
It sounds like an order, but also like a kitten's coquettish 'charity'.
Jiang Yunyu tilted his head to glance at her fair and soft little face. His heart felt like it was soaked in warm water, and a dense sense of comfort spread throughout his body.
"good."
After leaving the study, Jiang Yunyu carried Xu Wanci on his back and walked straight to the stairs.
Xu Wanci glanced at the elevator not far away and asked, "Why don't you take the elevator?"
The man lifted her up and said frankly, "I want to carry you for a while."
Then he added another comment: "Too thin."
Xu Wanci: “…”
The original owner was originally thin, only 80 kilograms, but she didn't care about her diet, and now her weight is almost approaching three digits.
It's also within the normal weight range.
"Then you carry it on your back."
Xu Wanci hung around his neck and dropped down, trying to add weight to the man.
Noticing her little movement, Jiang Yunyu smiled faintly in his eyes, and patted the area between her thigh and buttocks with his backhand.
"Stop making trouble, or you'll fall down."
That being said, the man carried her very steadily the entire time, walking and climbing stairs without any pressure, and his breathing didn't change at all.
Xu Wanci's body stiffened.
He suddenly became wilted and stopped making trouble.
Under the pale yellow stair light, two merged shadows climbed up the stairs.
Neither slow nor fast.
In the air, someone whispered, and someone was listening carefully and responding firmly.
"I'll only give you one chance."
"good."
-
In the bedroom.
Xu Wanci was still lying on the bed playing with her cell phone. After Jiang Yunyu brought her up, he went out again, not knowing what he was doing.
I felt a slight tremor in my palm, and several messages popped up on the top frame of the screen.
All from one person.
[Yu Haoyu]: Sister, it seems we took the wrong bag. I just found out when I was live streaming today [crying]. I wanted to tell you, but something delayed me.
[Yu Haoyu]: Do we really need to meet to exchange it back, or...
The rest of the words are self-explanatory, which is to make the best of a bad situation and treat it as a private "friendly exchange" between the two people.
Yu Haoyu finally lost his patience and sent a message to Xu Wanci first.
He really couldn't figure it out.
Doesn’t this woman have internet access?
It's been so long since the incident happened and she still hasn't come to ask him about it. He has already played several games, and all the irrelevant people have come to ask about it, but she, the person involved, hasn't even come!
It’s like it’s none of her business!!!
Even though Xu Wanci didn't send him a message, he would still go to find her, but he just felt unhappy.
Being ignored by the same person twice in a row, Yu Haoyu felt like he choked from eating noodles too fast.
It's extremely uncomfortable, neither going up nor down.
Xu Wanci saw the message: "..."
To put it bluntly, I inexplicably feel like I'm being haunted by a toad.
It doesn't bite, it's just plain annoying.
Xu Wanci turned over and lay on the bed to continue reading.
She had to take the silk fan back, after all, it was the first handmade work she and Jiang Yan made together.
And they do it so beautifully!
I remembered the photo that Butler Chen sent me in the afternoon, the fan with bangs as thin as a dog's.
Whoever wants it can have it, but she doesn’t want it anyway.
【Sleep for five more minutes】: Change back.
Just as I was about to reply to Yu Haoyu's message, the door was pushed open and Jiang Yunyu left and came back.
The cushion beneath her body sank, and the man sat down on the edge of her bed and handed her the phone.
Xu Wanci lowered his eyes, took the phone and flipped through it.
I found that it was full of revelations about Yu Haoyu, including but not limited to tax evasion, bullying teammates, insulting assistants, and a series of things that can prove that this person has a bad character.
Pictures speak louder than words.
Xu Wanci was amazed by what he saw.
It’s really hard to imagine that Yu Haoyu is only twenty years old and he started to go astray so early.
Also, Xu Wanci turned to the last page, which showed surveillance footage of the corridors, elevators, and lobby inside and outside the hotel in Ling City.
Screening frame by frame, a suspicious staff member wearing a mask was circled. He mixed in the team to help and took advantage of the chaos to exchange two embroidery bags.
After comparing their appearance, it was found that this person was one of Yu Haoyu's assistants.
After reading it, Xu Wanci only wanted to say:
Poverty limits her ability to solve crimes.
Just getting the hotel to willingly release so much surveillance footage is not an easy task.
Not to mention all those scattered real revelations.
Xu Wanci sat up on the bed with his elbows, facing Jiang Yunyu.
"When did you have it collected?"
"Before I go to the study to find you."
Xu Wanci said "Oh", nodded, and then put his phone in Jiang Yunyu's hand.
"I plan to see him tomorrow."
Just when I was looking at the evidence, the other party sent a few more messages.
[Yu Haoyu]: Okay, sister, I’ll decide the time and address [grin].
Yu Haoyu: [Address]
【Yu Haoyu】：[Screenshot of appointment time]
As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at the man's expression.
Jiang Yunyu lowered his eyes and stared at the phone screen. His eyes gradually darkened, and his half-closed deep eyes hid the hostility in his eyes.
After reading the message on the current page, he tapped his chin:
"Okay, but you have to bring someone else with you."
Jiang Yunyu returned the phone to its original owner: "I'll ask him to go over and wait for you tomorrow."
"Who is it?"
Xu Wanci asked curiously.
Jiang Yunyu: "A lawyer."
Xu Wanci nodded in understanding and lowered his head to reply to the other party.
[Sleep for five more minutes]: OK
[Yu Haoyu]: See you tomorrow at noon, sister.
