The crowd that was waiting for the elevator silently made way for them, and Shi Wan nodded apologetically and awkwardly to her colleagues.
At this moment, everyone looked at Shi Wan with slightly sympathetic eyes, silently feeling sorry for her for a second. They wondered if it must be very tiring for Teacher Shi to deal with the cold and aloof President Lu.
Lu Jingyan's expression remained cold as he gently embraced Shi Wan's slender waist, his haughty and aloof demeanor deterring others from approaching.
The elevator quickly reached the top floor.
Lu Jingyan cleared out the entire top floor to serve as Shi Wan's office, mainly so that Shi Wan could rest, and also so that he could rest with her.
"Lu Jingyan, what am I supposed to do with such a big room?" Shi Wan stared at the fully functional office in front of her, especially the partitioned room with a huge bed.
"And what are you planning to do with such a big bed here?" She was a little annoyed and confused.
Lu Jingyan buried his head in Shi Wan's neck, deliberately teasing her slender, white neck with his black hair.
The man bit Shi Wan's ear, his voice low and husky, "You can do whatever you want on this big bed." He gently licked her small earlobe, making the girl's ears turn bright red.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the man raised his head and gently kissed Shi Wan's lips, as if he had thought of something, "The woman at the school gate last time mentioned the Feng family, it was the Lin family who spread the word."
"Lin Zhiyu?" Shi Wan turned her gaze to Lu Jingyan, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sparkling with intelligence.
"Hmm." Lu Jingyan was not affected by what was being said. He smoothly helped Shi Wan take off her shoes and socks and took out the ointment to apply the medicine.
Shi Wan carefully examined the man in front of her. She admitted that Lu Jingyan was the most handsome man she had ever seen. His sparse bangs partially covered his eyebrows, and his deep eyes revealed a gentleness.
At this moment, Lu Jingyan's slender fingers skillfully and carefully massaged his ankle, as if he were being somewhat cautious, afraid of hurting himself.
“She saw me at Qingshan Yazhu last time, but it was just once. Feng Yunzhou probably won’t take the initiative to tell her about my past with him.” Shi Wan gently stroked the man’s stray hairs.
“Unless it was the Lin family’s doing, the Lin family sent her abroad back then to prevent them from getting involved in the Feng family’s internal strife. Now that Feng Yunzhou is in power, given the relationship between Lin Zhiyu and Feng Yunzhou, she will naturally stick to Feng Yunzhou and refuse to give in.” His deep voice was completely flat.
“Wanwan, I was furious when you had your accident in the hospital last year, so I tripped up the Lin family and liquidated all their overseas companies. Although Feng Yunzhou later stepped in to help the Lin family save their domestic businesses, both families still lost billions.”
Lu Jingyan spoke in a gentle tone as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but this matter was clearly his doing.
After not hearing Shi Wan's response for a while, Lu Jingyan's heart tightened. He looked up and stared at Shi Wan's small face, afraid that she would be unhappy.
Then she murmured softly, "Wanwan isn't angry with me for hiding my actions against Feng Yunzhou from you, is she?"
Shi Wan choked on her words. Was this man just being sarcastic?
"Back then, he chose Lin Zhiyu precisely to protect her from the wind and rain, right? Your timely help just fulfilled his wish." Shi Wan gently rubbed the man's prickly short hair, just as Lu Jingyan had done before.
"And..." Shi Wan suddenly lowered her head and whispered warm breath in Lu Jingyan's ear, "Husband, are you still worried that I still have feelings for Feng Yunzhou?"
The faint fragrance emanating from Shi Wan constantly stimulated Lu Jingyan's sense of smell, causing his throat to instantly become dry. Damn it! He had to go to the bathroom again, and the desire he had just suppressed kept surging up.
Shi Wan watched as the man, his ears burning red, darted into the bathroom. She couldn't help but chuckle. He had teased and ravaged her lips; now it was her turn to flirt with him.
Shi Wan picked up her phone and sent a few messages to the other party, her deep eyes hiding a hint of coldness.
At this time, in a manor in Country Y.
A girl wearing adorable dinosaur pajamas, with a round face and a pair of cute dimples, was calmly typing away at a bunch of densely packed lines of code on her computer while sipping milk tea.
"Ding~" As the phone rang, the nimble fingers stopped, and the user clapped their hands, feeling a little pleased. "Done!"
A government network was maliciously attacked by black hat hackers. Ling Qingqing was commissioned by the government to block the attack and launched a devastating counterattack against the attackers' system, and then created a new defense system for the government.
After sending a system message to the client with the "buy one get one free" offer, the offer disappeared completely.
After seeing the message from Shi Wan, he immediately made a video call to her.
As soon as Shi Wan answered the video call, the girl on the other end looked at her with her big, watery eyes and said in a coquettish tone, "Little Wanwan, you've been gone for so long, why haven't you come back yet?"
"I'm getting moldy from staying here," Ling Qingqing muttered, her big eyes darting around, making an angry face.
Ling Qingqing's father was from country Y. She inherited her father's golden brown hair and blue-green eyes. Apart from her hair and eyes, her appearance was similar to that of her Chinese mother.
Staring at the chubby and adorable Ling Qingqing in the video, Shi Wan couldn't help but chuckle.
Shi Wan gently tossed her hair. She was already beautiful, with a small face and almond-shaped eyes that were full of water. She always gave people a feeling of tender affection when she looked at them.
"Oh my, oh my, who's been nourishing you so much that you're getting more and more radiant?" Ling Qingqing said, staring at Shi Wan's stunningly beautiful face before taking a big gulp of milk tea.
She was a year younger than Shi Wan. At that time, she thought Wanwan was very beautiful, but why was her hair and eyes different colors from Wanwan's? So she always pestered her father to ask why, even though they were both from Y country, her father looked different from Shi Wanwan's father. As a result, she always got a scolding from her father.
Shi Wan didn't respond to Ling Qingqing's teasing. Instead, she put away her smile and stared seriously at the girl in the video. "Qingqing, did you see the message I just sent you?"
"Okay, I've sent you the information." Ling Qingqing put away her playful expression and stared at the information on the computer. As if she had seen something, her brows furrowed.
"Wanwan, this woman's got some tricks up her sleeve. Has Feng Yunzhou lost his mind?" Ling Qingqing angrily bit her milk tea straw.
"This is all I need. A couple of days ago, someone brought up my past with Feng Yunzhou. Not many people in China know about our history. It seems that this Miss Lin is behind it all." Shi Wan's slightly upturned lips suggested she was quite satisfied with the documents in her hand.
"Wanwan, when are you coming back to China? We all miss you. We went to China to look for you before, but you didn't want to come back with us. Have you found your mother's family?" Ling Qingqing typed furiously on the keyboard with her head down.
"Not yet. I'll go back if I really can't find them. After all these years, I should try to accept that they're really gone."
Shi Wan lowered her eyes, suppressing the soreness in her throat, and gently rubbed her fingertips. The lingering warmth from her touch with Lu Jingyan seemed to still make her fingertips feel slightly hot.
Ling Qingqing looked at her childhood friend in the video, and a pang of tenderness rose in her eyes.
Ling Qingqing's father and Shi Wan's father were both born in Y country. They grew up together and their families were quite close.
After her parents passed away, they were worried that Shi Wan would be saddened by the sight of the old house, so they took her to live in their manor for a while. Later, Feng Yunzhou came and took good care of Shi Wan, so they felt at ease handing Shi Wan over to Feng Yunzhou.
As a result, she believed Feng Yunzhou's nonsense, and not long after returning to China, he announced his marriage to the Lin family, which was equivalent to Wanwan slapping him hard in the face.
After the news reached Y, several strangers came to her house that same day and talked with her father in the study for a long time. The next day, her parents went directly to China to bring her back, but Wanwan politely declined.
Fortunately, Qiao Meng was there to keep her company in China. Qiao Meng was a native Chinese and the eldest daughter of the Qiao family in Kyoto. With her taking care of her, Wanwan wouldn't be too lonely in China.
