Chapter 9 Girlfriend
As soon as Jiang Tingwan got into the car, she heard the buzzing sound of her cell phone vibrating in her handbag.
She took out her cell phone and the words "沉观" were jumping rhythmically on the screen.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she lightly touched the phone with her fingertips to answer the call.
"It looks like things aren't going well?"
The man's deep and magnetic voice came through the receiver clearly, and his tone carried a hint of knowing everything.
Jiang Tingwan was indeed still feeling a little annoyed at the moment. She subconsciously tapped the steering wheel with her fingertips, making a clicking sound, and said half-jokingly and half-annoyingly.
"Why, Mr. Shen, is he staring at me all the time? Or is he unable to let go of your little secretary?"
There was a slight sound of shuffling papers on the other end of the phone. It seemed that Shen Guan was concentrating on processing documents, but his tone was still calm.
"She's not my secretary." He paused for a moment, as if he was choosing his words, "Today, the original secretary suddenly got gastroenteritis, so I had no choice but to ask her to take over."
Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, with a teasing tone: "Is Mr. Shen explaining this to me on purpose?"
Shen Guan chuckled on the other end of the phone, “What if I say yes?”
At this moment, the afternoon sun shone through the car window and onto Jiang Tingwan's delicate face. She subconsciously squinted her eyes to adapt to the dazzling light.
She sighed softly and pretended to be wronged and said, "Even after listening to Mr. Shen's explanation, I still feel a little sad." Then she changed the subject and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen must compensate me well."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, followed by the crisp sound of a folder being closed. Shen Guan said, "7pm, Genting Restaurant." His voice was low and firm, "It's just you and me this time."
Jiang Tingwan's lips curled up slightly, outlining a perfect arc: "Boss Chen, are you asking me out for dinner?"
"Yes." Shen Guan answered simply and straightforwardly, "Of course I have to compensate Miss Jiang."
Jiang Tingwan's fingertips paused on the steering wheel for a moment, then returned to normal, with a hint of smile in her voice, "Then I'll see you tonight, Mr. Shen."
-------------------------------------------
In the Genting Restaurant, the warm yellow light falls softly like delicate gauze, creating a romantic and quiet atmosphere for the entire space.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire city is brightly lit under the night sky, like a flowing Milky Way pouring down from the sky.
Jiang Tingwan sat at the dining table, tapping the tabletop rhythmically with her fair fingertips, looking at Chen Guan opposite her with a slightly playful look.
At this moment, Shen Guan was wearing a well-tailored suit, straight and handsome. The warm yellow light cast a soft halo on him, making his cold face more gentle.
"If the Jiang family suddenly finds their real daughter,"
Jiang Tingwan tilted her head slightly, resting her elbow on the table and supporting her cheek, and asked with interest, "What will President Chen decide? Will he continue to choose a marriage partner, or will he make another plan and change someone?"
Shen Guan cut the steak on the plate slowly and leisurely, his movements gracefully and skillfully.
Hearing Jiang Tingwan's question, he raised his eyes slightly, met hers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Miss Jiang, are you worried about your position in my heart?"
He always changes the subject.
Jiang Tingwan was about to respond when a male voice interrupted without warning.
"Hey, Mr. Shen, are you bringing your girlfriend for a romantic dinner?"
Jiang Tingwan turned her head and saw a man in a purple suit, with his arm affectionately around his female companion, standing by their table.
The man's eyes wandered over Jiang Tingwan, and she inexplicably felt that the man looked familiar.
Jiang Tingwan thought about it and thought it was the person she had seen in the bar before...
"There will be a party in Jinting tonight. How about bringing you along to join in the fun?" The man in the purple suit said as he winked and his eyes were full of teasing.
Jiang Tingwan subconsciously raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Shen Guan, waiting for him to deny it.
To her surprise, Shen Guan just calmly picked up the napkin and gently wiped the corner of his mouth without denying it, which was tantamount to tacitly acknowledging their relationship.
What does this person mean?
Jiang Tingwan was a little surprised. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Shen Guan utter three words in a calm tone: "It depends on the situation."
After receiving such an ambiguous answer, the man in the purple suit stopped nagging the woman and left with his female companion.
Jiang Tingwan put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Shen Guan: "What does Mr. Shen mean by this?"
"What else?" Chen Guan slowly raised his eyes, his deep eyes like a bottomless pool, looking straight into Jiang Tingwan's eyes and asked back.
"Should I tell him that you are the marriage partner who came to discuss business with me?"
What he said made some sense, but Jiang Tingwan didn't intend to let him go.
"This will cost extra." Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, her lips slightly raised, her fingertips tapping the table lightly, her tone drawn out, "Mr. Chen should be very clear that the identity of a girlfriend..."
“It’s another price.”
Chen Guan stared at Jiang Tingwan, his eyes showing no concern. His voice was low and magnetic, "What does Miss Jiang want?"
Jiang Tingwan looked back at him. His indifferent tone revealed the confidence brought by the Shen family's huge wealth, as if they could afford whatever she asked for.
At this moment, under the table, Jiang Tingwan quietly stretched out her high-heeled feet and slowly moved them up along Chen Guan's trouser legs in an extremely gentle and ambiguous posture.
Every movement was as delicate as the stroke of a feather, yet carried an indescribable sense of teasing.
The tip of the high-heeled shoe landed lightly on his knee and circled it shallowly, with an almost imperceptible force, as if it was a casual caress.
This series of secret actions seemed like a silent game that belonged only to the two of them.
Meanwhile, at the dining table, Jiang Tingwan's expression remained calm and cool, with her head lazily propped up, as if she was thinking seriously about something. This formed a sharp and seductive contrast with the seductive movements under the table.
"I heard that Shen bought a particularly beautiful emerald necklace last year..." Jiang Tingwan said.
"Okay." Shen Guan stretched out his hand without hesitation and grabbed her ankle.
Jiang Tingwan was caught off guard and subconsciously screamed, leaning forward because of the sudden movement.
"But tonight..." Shen Guan's voice was low and seductive, and his calloused hands gently rubbed her ankles, as if he was playing with a fine work of art, "You have to be a good 'girlfriend'."
For some reason, Jiang Tingwan felt an inexplicable panic in her heart, mixed with a bit of shyness. This man always went straight to the point when faced with her teasing, repeatedly breaking her originally calm demeanor.
