Chapter 6 Charity Gala
Shen Guan's car stopped in front of the Jiang family villa, and night had already fallen.
He was wearing a white suit, with a slender and upright figure, his fingertips lightly resting on the car door.
As the car door slowly opened, he looked up.
The woman was wearing a dark green velvet dress.
The hem of her skirt flowed like a stream in the dark night, hanging down her body and outlining her graceful curves.
The diamond necklace around her neck shines brightly, contrasting with her snow-white skin.
There was a hint of subtle charm on Jiang Tingwan's cold face at this moment.
"Mr. Shen's arrival is really on time."
The corners of her lips rose slightly, and her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of teasing.
Shen Guan looked calm, with a faint smile on his lips. At the same time, he stretched out his arm and said softly, "Miss Jiang is a dazzling beauty tonight."
She nodded slightly, her fingertips lightly resting on his arm.
“Boss Shen is also very noble tonight.”
He lowered his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze on her. "Same here."
After the last dinner, the two no longer bothered to maintain their gentle and friendly appearance, and simply laid out their calculations against each other out in the open.
After all, we are all people who have been struggling in the human world for many years. We are all thousand-year-old foxes. Why play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?
The banquet hall was brightly lit as day, and the atmosphere was filled with the clinking of glasses.
Jiang Tingwan took Shen Guan's arm and as soon as she stepped into the hall, she instantly attracted countless gazes.
Jiang Tingwan leaned in slightly and watched, seemingly very intimately, but in fact she lowered her voice and teased.
“Boss Shen, since you and I are so affectionate tonight, if I take pictures of any exhibits later, can I ask you to reimburse me?”
Shen Guan's expression did not change, he even tilted his head slightly, his warm breath gently brushed over the tip of her ear, and he whispered.
"Miss Jiang, feel free to bid for anything you like."
He paused for a moment, and in a deep, mellow voice, he said, "It's all put on my account."
Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling somewhat surprised. So straightforward?
Just when I was thinking about praising him, I heard him add leisurely: "But the interest is calculated separately."
“Alas, what a pity, it seems that I will have to pay for it out of my own pocket after all.” She chuckled softly and looked at Shen Guan, “Mr. Shen is indeed very careful with his calculations and will not do business at a loss.”
Shen Guan lowered his eyes and stared at her, with a hint of smile in his tone.
"So is Miss Jiang."
Under the light, the two looked at each other and smiled.
In the eyes of others, this scene shows intimacy and tacit understanding.
Chen Xian, who was far away, looked at the scene with even more satisfaction in her eyes.
"Hey, brother, I saw you and Wanwan walking together in the yard that day, and I thought you two would have some sparks of love. But I didn't expect that Brother Shen would get there first."
Lu Yi quietly glanced at the man beside her, her eyes full of disappointment.
That day she saw her brother and Jiang Tingwan walking together, and Lu Zhaoye didn't show any sign of rejection. She was secretly happy, but who could have thought that the result would be like this.
The man next to her noticed her gaze, turned his head to look at her, and narrowed his eyes dangerously. Lu Yi was so frightened that she dared not say a word.
Jiang Tingwan tonight is completely different from the dignified and gentle appearance seen that day. Instead, she has added a bit of charm that has never been seen before.
In a trance, Lu Zhaoye's thoughts drifted back to that day.
The woman's smooth and white neck appeared in his mind. It had only been a few days, and she was so intimate with Shen Guan again.
Lu Zhaoye secretly laughed, thinking that beneath this seemingly well-behaved appearance, this woman was probably more calculating than anyone else.
As light and shadows passed by, Jiang Tingwan was having a pleasant conversation with Miss Bai.
Suddenly, a figure rushed over without warning.
"ah!"
With an exclamation, the champagne glass on the waiter's tray tilted instantly.
The amber wine was like beads that had broken off a string, and was about to spill all over Jiang Tingwan's dress.
At this split second, Chen Guan stretched out his long arms and suddenly pulled Jiang Tingwan into his arms.
Jiang Tingwan was caught off guard and leaned directly against his solid chest.
The scent of cedar on his body instantly lingered at the tip of her nose, intertwining with the jasmine scent in her hair.
The two of them stopped breathing.
"Bang——"
The glass slammed to the ground.
A crisp shattering sound suddenly exploded in the hall, instantly attracting the attention of the guests around.
Jiang's mother, who was not far away, also cast an inquiring look.
"Sorry, sorry!" the waiter apologized hurriedly.
She hurriedly squatted down to pick up the fragments, and as she moved, a small piece of skin was exposed from the collar on the back of her neck, where a butterfly-shaped light pink birthmark was printed.
Jiang's mother's arms stiffened for a moment, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
Shen Guan couldn't help but pause after seeing the waiter's face.
Jiang Tingwan keenly noticed his abnormality and looked in the direction he was looking.
There was a hint of panic on the girl's pure and lovely face. Her big watery eyes were filled with tears. She looked so pitiful and lovable.
Jiang Tingwan raised her head and said in a whisper that only the two of them could hear: "Why, do you know him?"
As he spoke, a warm breath gently brushed across Shen Guan's neck.
Chen Guan lowered his eyes and met her half-smiling eyes. He suddenly tightened his hands around her waist, speaking with a teasing tone.
"Miss Jiang, are you expecting my answer?"
Whispers gradually rose all around.
At this time, the waiter raised his eyes timidly, his gaze lingered on Shen Guan's face, he seemed very surprised, and a little embarrassed, he stammered: "Mr. Shen... Mr. Shen!"
Jiang Tingwan laughed softly, and finally stepped out gracefully from Chen Guan's arms, straightening his slightly messy collar.
There was a hint of amusement in her voice.
“Mr. Shen will take his time to deal with Xiao Taohua.”
After saying that, she turned and walked towards her seat in the auction hall.
Shen Guan frowned and looked back at the woman squatting on the ground picking up the debris, "Why are you here if you're not at the company?"
The woman seemed very embarrassed, her head lowered almost into her chest, and she said in a low but confident voice: "I don't have work tonight, I'm here as a part-time worker..."
This woman was the company intern whom he had just met two days ago.
The first time I saw her was under the company building. At that time, she thought she had failed the interview and was hiding there crying.
The second time was when she made a scene in the company, crying that the data she had worked on overnight was taken over by others. Even Shen Guan who was passing by heard the sound, and after several times, he also had an impression of her.
But he didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, and just said coldly: "Don't clean it up with your hands, find a broom."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the auction hall.
The woman looked at Shen Guan as he walked into the auction hall, her eyes shifting.
Sure enough, Jiang's mother walked to the door of the banquet hall at some point and was talking on the phone with someone.
