Chapter 246 A difference of one thought
In fact, the reason why the situation did not become more complicated was entirely due to Jiang Wan's momentary thought.
When she followed Jiang Yan into the hall, she had already decided to throw in the towel.
But she still overestimated herself. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, the closer she got to that direction, the more uncontrollably her heart beat in her chest.
When her breathing became completely difficult, she finally stopped. After confirming that the two people had not noticed this side for the time being, she softly called out to Jiang Yan: "Special Assistant Jiang."
Jiang Yan quickly responded and stopped and turned back.
Jiang Wan looked at him and whispered, "Let's talk for a moment."
Jiang Wan didn't know that not long after they moved to the corner, Xie Heng looked in the direction they were originally in for the second time.
But at this moment, she had no time to think about whether Xie Heng had seen her. When Jiang Yan asked her why she looked so pale, she pursed her lips and replied:
"Special Assistant Jiang, today's occasion is special after all. I've thought about it and decided to ask you to tell my husband that I'll wait outside for him to finish his work. I've been teaching and live-streaming today, so I'm really tired now. I'd like to go to the car and rest for a while."
Jiang Yan, who was very good at observing people's expressions, naturally noticed that her reaction was a little unusual, but since Jiang Wan had already said so, he naturally had to follow her wishes.
"In that case, I'll take you to the car first, Miss Jiang. If he knows you're waiting in the car, he won't delay any longer."
After such a long time, of course no one knows better than Jiang Yan what Jiang Wan means to Shao Ting.
Jiang Wan also heard the hidden meaning in his words, and her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't say much, just said: "Then I'll trouble you."
When she finished speaking, her tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but she almost forgot a fact that she had experienced time and time again -
Under the premise of trying to change the world's plot, before accumulating enough love points, anything she wants to do or get will not be as smooth as she expected.
Just when Jiang Yan was about to take her out first, the middle-aged men who were originally chatting and laughing in front of them suddenly moved towards the man who came in from the corridor entrance.
Jiang Wan vaguely heard them calling each other Old Shen, and naturally guessed that it was Shen Yan's father Shen Zhonglin.
Under normal circumstances, she might think that Mr. Shen's doubts just now were actually justified. Shen Zhonglin's temperament was so aloof, so it was not surprising that he could raise a son like Shen Yan who was so indifferent and taciturn at such a young age.
But at this moment she had no intention of thinking about these things.
It wasn't because she was in a hurry to leave, but because the moment those men moved, she had been completely exposed and frozen in place.
Facts have once again proved that the world plot line will mercilessly use all means to keep her trapped in an uncontrollable deadlock.
Even if it's in a way that doesn't make sense at all.
Not to mention the "coincidences" that had put her in irreversible situations countless times in the past, from Shao Ting's arrival at the Shen family early because of Shao Lu'an to Jiang Yan's unexpected encounter with her tonight, these were just the beginning.
It was now that she finally realized that there were some things she could not avoid.
The absurdity is that it happened just as she was about to leave that Shen Zhonglin appeared.
The butterfly effect seemed like an inevitable fate. After that, the man's gaze fell on her face almost naturally and as it should be.
It was still that familiar feeling of oppression, which made people shudder with fear at first sight.
But in contrast to her, the man looked at her with extremely calm eyes, as calm as a still abyss.
He has always been like this, holding a high position and great power, and never leaving the court. However, he has been involved in so many things. How could Jiang Wan not feel that behind this calm appearance, there are hidden danger signals.
After staring at each other for two seconds, Xie Shiqian narrowed his eyes slightly, but the invisible sense of oppression was swallowing her up more and more.
Jiang Wan knew that this man could easily see through her panic and fear, including the fact that she was deliberately avoiding him.
He just stared at her quietly and slowly, his gaze undisguised. Of course, the person sitting opposite him noticed it and glanced back.
At a distance that was neither far nor near, the man's eyebrows and eyes were still as deep and cold, but when their gazes intertwined like silk threads, Jiang Wan could sense as clearly as before that there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
But as Jiang Wan expected, Shao Ting soon remembered something. He covered her with his gaze and stared at her pale face for a moment. Then his eyes sank slightly and he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yan who was standing beside her.
Jiang Yan naturally understood quickly and whispered to Jiang Wan, "Miss Jiang, the master has seen us. Why don't we go and say hello first and see what the master has to say?"
Jiang Guan curled up the fingertips hanging at her side and wanted to say no, but she had no choice.
She didn't say anything, and after a long time she walked up to them under the gaze of the two men.
Jiang Yan, who was standing beside him, greeted Xie Shiqian and then briefly explained to Shao Ting how he met Jiang Wan, and then added:
"After I explained the situation to Master Shen, Miss Jiang was originally planning to come find you, but she thought you would be busy for a while and was afraid of delaying your work, so she asked me to take her to the car to rest while waiting for you."
After knowing the situation, Shao Ting's expression did not change much.
He knew Jiang Wan so well that he knew almost every detail in her expression.
If things were really that simple, she wouldn't be in such a pitiful state now, not even daring to look him in the eye and almost crying for him.
He guessed that she had probably done something that made it difficult for her to face him, but looking at her drooping and trembling eyelashes, he was silent for a moment and then simply asked, "Do you know Shen Yan?"
The familiar voice of the man fell into Jiang Wan's ears, and his heart sank slightly. After a long while, he replied in a muffled voice: "Shen Yan is my senior."
She did want to explain more clearly to Shao Ting, but under the eyes of another man, under that gaze that seemed gentle but could easily see through all her thoughts and made it almost impossible for her to hide, she simply could not calm down and say another word.
She couldn't and didn't dare to imagine how Shao Ting would react if he knew about the entanglement between her and Xie Shiqian.
Xie Shiqian is in a high position, and his every move involves too many things. Perhaps he won't really put some things on the table, but if he really stops being soft-hearted, he still has countless ways to deal with her.
The more she was afraid to gamble, the more deeply she feared men, to the point that she didn't even dare to turn her head away.
The moment Shao Ting heard the title "senior" and the girl's unconsciously familiar tone, his eyes finally dropped a few degrees.
Just at this moment, he suddenly realized something. After raising his eyelids, his deep and compelling gaze moved to one place neither lightly nor heavily.
The young man stood in the shadow of the corner, watching this place silently.
Shao Ting had no special impression of Shen Yan in the past. At this moment, he stared at him silently for a few seconds, but without even moving his eyes or eyebrows, he calmly withdrew his gaze.
Jiang Wan was completely unaware of this brief exchange. She only knew that a moment after she had answered that Shen Yan was her senior, she heard Shao Ting's low, unreadable voice: "Wan Wan."
He called her name and said to her, "Lift your face up."
The tone was almost declarative, but it carried an irrefutable meaning.
Jiang Wan was dazed for two seconds, thinking he was going to ask about something. She raised her eyes blankly and met the man's gaze, but he stretched out his hand towards her, "What are you waiting for in the car?"
"good."
"Come here and stay with me."
