Chapter 119: A righteous heart leads to clear vision; a righteous person leads to upright conduct.
"Why would you ask that?" Su Wanwan asked.
"So you really know him?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked instead of answering.
"Yes," Su Wanwan admitted, there was no point in hiding it. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What do you want to know?"
Jiang Zhaoyue pursed her lips and after a while said, "Does he like you?"
"..." So obvious
"Um...this..."
“I know things won’t work out between you two,” Jiang Zhaoyue said, as if she had made up her mind. “That’s why I’m going to pursue him.”
"..." Su Wanwan didn't know where the cause-and-effect logic lay.
Su Wanwan wanted to say, "You're really brave, girl," but couldn't bring herself to say it, so she asked, "You didn't go to the Department of Psychology for him, did you?"
Jiang Zhaoyue blushed and said, "Mmm."
"..." This guy's love-struck! Does your dad know?!
Su Wanwan said tactfully, "Do you know anything about his family? They're a very wealthy and influential family over there." It's not easy to get into a wealthy family.
"But my family is the same."
"..." Your family is also wealthy, so there's even less need for you to get involved in this mess! Wouldn't it be better to keep your own money and not have to worry about what others think?
"May I ask why?"
“I… fell in love with him at first sight. He has a melancholy air about him, and I want to smooth his brows so that he can smile from the bottom of his heart.”
"..." Has he been reading too many novels?
Su Wanwan thought to herself: You're overthinking it.
In his position, one must not show one's emotions. He was not melancholy; he was just pretending.
But in the eyes of someone in love, nothing you say matters.
"Then... good luck?" Su Wanwan still offered her blessings.
You don't know how hard a wall is until you hit it.
"I will make him forget you and fall in love with me."
"..." Please don't involve her unless it's absolutely necessary. This is like something out of a novel. Shang Haoyan really doesn't like her that much.
You can't like her and then flirt with other women at the same time, can you?
Shang Haoyan's romantic escapades during his studies abroad were not mere rumors.
Of course, she wasn't trying to bring up old grievances, and it had nothing to do with her.
Everyone has a past.
She strongly suspected that this young lady had been corrupted by novels.
Well, everyone has their own destiny.
Back home, Su Wanwan told Xie Yanning about it.
In principle, Xie Yanning didn't really want to hear about Shang Haoyan, but she was quite happy to hear that someone was so enthusiastic about pursuing her.
Maybe he really will fall in love with someone else.
Just stop thinking about Su Wanwan.
"Maybe this is his soulmate?"
Why are you so happy to see this happen?
You should offer your blessings.
"Is he the one I'm worried about? I'm worried about Jiang Zhaoyue!" This child clearly hasn't experienced hardship. The Shang family isn't your average wealthy family; they still retain all the manners of old-fashioned nobles, like having to get up early to pay their respects.
I never know why I have to get up so early for nothing.
Su Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it.
"..."
Perhaps Shang Haoyan himself didn't expect that his family was also a reason for his defeat.
Xie Yanning washed the fruit and brought it to Su Wanwan, saying, "You're not a fish, don't think so much." The most important thing is not to think about Shang Haoyan, not even gossip.
Su Wanwan leaned on Xie Yanning's shoulder, waiting to be fed. Xie Yanning put a grape in her mouth, and Su Wanwan looked down at him: "Professor Xie, are you jealous?"
Xie Yanning narrowed her eyes slightly, "Isn't Dr. Su tired?"
"I'm so tired," Su Wanwan leaned on his shoulder again. "My back and waist are aching. Professor Xie, would you like to give me a massage?"
As she spoke, she slid down as if she had no bones, resting her head on his lap.
The indoor heating was strong, so Su Wanwan wasn't wearing many clothes.
Xie Yanning strongly suspected that Su Wanwan did it on purpose.
"Be serious."
"Where did I do anything improper?!" Su Wanwan was inexplicably hit. "A righteous heart leads to clear vision, and a righteous person leads to upright conduct."
Xie Yanning had to admire this ability to turn the tables on his enemies.
Xie Yanning gave her a massage.
Just then, Xie Yanning's phone rang.
Xie Yanning took it with one hand.
"What is it?" Xie Yanning's voice was indifferent.
He listened, his face expressionless, and the habitual tapping of his fingers while thinking turned into tapping on Su Wanwan's waist.
"..."
She's not a desk.
Su Wanwan got up, and Xie Yanning casually scooped her up and sat her in his lap.
"I remember we discussed this last time, so why overturn it now?" Xie Yanning unconsciously stroked Su Wanwan's back.
Su Wanwan has a frighteningly strong theoretical knowledge, thanks to a few bold friends who frequently share their knowledge in the group.
All that's left is to conduct the experiment.
Judging from Xie Yanning's expression, it didn't seem to be a particularly troublesome matter.
Su Wanwan's heart pounded like a drum.
Her head rested on his shoulder.
As he spoke, you could see his Adam's apple moving up and down, and Su Wanwan felt a surge of malice.
In that instant, Xie Yanning's hand, which had been relaxed on her back, suddenly tightened, and his gaze swept over her with a warning.
Xie Yanning loved her to the core, and even in that situation, he would take care of her, let alone at other times. Therefore, Su Wanwan was not afraid at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was on the phone and couldn't do anything, she gently kissed him again.
Upon hearing Xie Yanning's silence, the person on the other end asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Xie Yanning gasped.
"N-nothing, please speak haltingly."
Xie Yanning listened intently, wanting only to finish the call as soon as possible and teach this disobedient person a lesson. However, the person on the other end of the phone wouldn't let him off the hook, continuing to complain to him after he finished speaking.
