Chapter 58 Seduction
Zhan Lintian asked him coldly, "Doesn't President Wu intend to explain why Wu Ming has become like this?"
Wu Zhou's expression was even more unpleasant than his: "As expected."
He looked unwell and felt embarrassed.
He clearly paid close attention to Wu Ming's medical examination reports, and he personally reviewed all the reports, big and small, every year.
He was afraid that Wu Ming might contract a sexually transmitted disease and then unknowingly infect Jiang Xia.
In June of that year, Wu Ming had a physical examination, and the results showed no problems...
It's likely that Wu Ming will meet with some shady characters again in July or August.
Wu Ming had already revealed his playboy nature of spending money like water when he was in college. People loved his face, his family background, and his seemingly affectionate eyes.
Relationships built on money and power are not worth losing once the passion fades.
Wu Ming is unwilling to give up Jiang Xia... I wonder if he will use his illness as an excuse to pester Jiang Xia...
Wu Zhou lowered his voice: "I will handle it."
Zhan Lintian decided to sever their ties: "You just need to take care of your brother. I'll tell Jiang Xia."
Wu Zhou paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm..."
The two men caught sight of Jiang Xia bringing out tea out of the corner of their eyes, and immediately concealed their arrogance.
Jiang Xia saw that the two of them were still standing in the living room like two big Buddhas, and he almost had no place to stand.
"Please sit down, my home is simple..."
Zhan Lintian waved his hand: "It's very heartwarming."
Wu Zhou and Jiang Xia looked at each other, and Jiang Xia awkwardly scratched his cheek with his finger...
It's already past 10 p.m., and not a single person has left. Jiang Xia stood awkwardly to the side, wondering if he should leave by himself.
Zhan Lintian had just cleared his throat when he looked at Wu Zhou and urged him, "Aren't you leaving?"
If Wu Zhou doesn't leave... how can I talk to Jiang Xia about Wu Ming?
He gestured with his eyes.
Wu Zhou stared intently at Jiang Xia's face, concealing all his emotions, and finally stood up: "It's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer, you should get some rest."
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll see you off."
Jiang Xia originally only intended to escort him to the door, but General Manager Zhan took a long stride, swayed behind him, and stuck his head out to look, looking just like a couple watching their guests leave.
He acted like an empress, helping Jiangxia drive away tourists.
Jiang Xia felt a chill run down his spine; why didn't General Manager Zhan have any intention of leaving?
Zhan Lintian happened to look down at him, and their eyes met.
Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she said awkwardly, "I'll go downstairs to see you off."
Zhan Lintian really wanted to go downstairs, but thinking about what was going to happen later, he forcibly stopped himself.
He feared that if he went downstairs together, Jiang Xia might turn around and kill him too.
Zhan Lintian quickly stood by the window, trying to get a glimpse of the whole situation.
He knew that Wu Zhou had taken a liking to Jiang Xia first, and that he had helped Wu Zhou pursue Jiang Xia first.
But Jiang Xia hasn't agreed to him yet, has she?
If love were judged solely by one party's attitude, then Jiang Xia and Wu Ming would have been a couple long ago, and Wu Zhou would have been the other woman!
Zhan Lintian's gaze softened considerably.
now……
Jiang Xia was supposed to be taken upstairs from the entrance of the building.
"Jiangxia, wait a minute."
"What?" Jiang Xia turned his head curiously.
Wu Zhou took out a bouquet of roses from the passenger seat. The stems were simply wrapped in snow-white wrapping paper, interspersed with orchids. The elegant red and white colors were tied with a dark red ribbon bow.
The man strode towards him and stopped in front of him.
"May I accept this as a token of my affection? I'd like to give it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zhou gently placed the bouquet in his arms and then let go.
He did it on purpose, and Jiang Xia quickly hugged the flower to prevent it from falling.
"Why……"
Jiang Xia hugged the flower tightly, and Wu Zhou suddenly reached out and gently straightened a crooked bow on the flower.
He applied extremely gentle pressure, adjusting the petals with tenderness, afraid of damaging them.
There was no dialogue, no eye contact, yet an enchanting atmosphere swirled between them.
It was an extremely gentle kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water, a brief touch followed by a quick separation, so fast that he almost mistook it for a hallucination.
Looking at the river gorge in front of him, the red and white flowers made him appear even more... radiant.
Wu Ming was carefree, but Jiang Xia was different. A faint sadness always lingered in the corners of his eyes and brows, making people want to lend him a hand.
Jiang Xia smelled a faint floral fragrance, looked down at the bouquet, and heard a man's slightly hoarse voice beside her.
These flowers suit you perfectly.
Jiang Xia looked up at him, Wu Zhou's voice hoarse: "Jiang Xia, I'll make you willingly take the initiative sooner or later..."
He still had a lot to say.
She wanted Jiang Xia to open his mouth and kiss her, and to hook his arms around her neck when she touched him, acknowledging their relationship as a couple so that she could be more intimate with him.
She wanted him to accept her both physically and mentally, until Jiangxia and she became a couple in the true sense of the word.
These things can't be said to him now; it would sound like inappropriate. Flirting is only appropriate after a relationship is established...
We pushed Jiang Xia too far before, now we need to give him some breathing room...
Jiang Xia's cheeks flushed slightly. Wu Zhou didn't stop him. He nodded slightly and said, "I'll go upstairs first." Then he turned around and quickly went upstairs.
Wu Zhou chuckled. Even though Jiang Xia was panicking inside, he could still appear calm.
Jiang Xia is in the office building tonight. He didn't need to come out; he could have left from the underground parking garage.
He had successfully deceived himself, but he stepped forward out of fear of catching a cold...
It may seem like a small thing, but the more people he met, the more he realized that many people couldn't put themselves in others' shoes or empathize with them.
He had seen people fall down drunk at banquets, while their friends laughed and applauded.
Even those who fall down will soon continue to mock others.
Wu Zhou smiled and only turned around after Jiang Xia's figure was out of sight.
Next, I need to keep Wu Ming under control and prevent him from returning to China...
Jiang Xia ran to the door, hesitating whether to open it or not, as there was also a General Manager Zhan inside.
While he was lost in thought, President Zhan opened the door, bent down slightly to look him in the eye, and looked at him with a half-smile.
Jiang Xia leaned back, but before she could take a step back, he grabbed her waist and pulled her upstairs. "Aren't you... coming?"
Zhan Lintian's tone was quite ordinary: "I have something I want to talk to you about."
He put his arm around Jiang Xia's waist and pulled him home.
Jiang Xia was bewildered, wondering whether he should let him go.
If Mr. Zhan doesn't leave, should I argue with him?
They start swearing and cursing, completely losing their temper, getting red in the face, and saying all sorts of nasty things...
Jiang Xia has never had a serious argument with anyone in all these years.
Now that Zhan Lintian was smiling again, Jiang Xia thought to himself, "You can't hit a smiling face..."
Zhan Lintian then praised, "This bouquet suits you very well."
Jiang Xia coughed awkwardly; it was indeed his preferred style.
Looking at the faint smile on his face, Zhan Lintian suddenly swallowed all his accusations against Wu Ming.
He was certain that if he spoke out, Jiang Xia would be in extreme pain.
What other purpose do these words serve besides making Jiang Xia unhappy?
Wu Ming was his hero during his student days. A hero can die, but he must not rot.
After the two entered, Zhan Lintian closed the door, patted the sofa, and gestured for Jiang Xia to sit down.
Jiang Xia, holding the flowers, made an excuse: "Um, let me keep the flowers in water first."
He jogged to the kitchen, took out a vase, filled it with water, placed it on the coffee table, and used the deep water to revive the flowers.
Jiang Xia sat on the edge of the sofa and turned to look at him: "Um, what did you want to say?"
Zhan Lintian pulled the person to sit down in his arms, but didn't hold him too tightly. Instead, he controlled the space between himself and Jiang Xia.
He lazily draped his hands over Jiang Xia's shoulders from behind, and as Jiang Xia stiffened, he whispered, "Jiang Xia, you can try men, not just Wu Ming..."
"You're still young, it's not too late at all... Don't put any pressure on yourself..."
With a smirk, Zhan Lintian said seductively, "For example, me. I'm willing, and you don't dislike me..."
A note from the author:
Zhan Lintian: Mr. Wu, hurry up and leave, I'm about to say bad things about your brother.
After Wu Zhou left.
Zhan Lintian: It only took me a minute to realize that talking badly about my wife was less effective than coaxing her into being affectionate with me. [Sunglasses]
