Chapter 160 Waiting for You
Chapter 160 Waiting for You
Shao Ting did not deliberately lower the volume, so Jiang Wan certainly heard what he said.
The obscure and hazy atmosphere between the two of them disappeared almost instantly, and Jiang Wan wanted to take this opportunity to withdraw from Shao Ting's arms.
Unexpectedly, the man soon noticed it, but he used a little strength to hold her firmly in his arms again. After staring at her for a few seconds, he spoke in a deep voice:
"In that case, you should be more careful in the future. If you must do something, be prepared to bear the consequences and costs yourself."
"Let's go to the old house for dinner tomorrow night. The two elders are thinking about you."
After he finished speaking, Shao Ting hung up the phone, and the surroundings finally became quiet again.
Shao Ting stared at her for a long time before he leaned over and kissed the corners of her wet eyes, with a hint of helplessness in his deep voice.
"It's my fault. I pushed too far."
Jiang Wan hadn't recovered yet. Hearing this, his breathing tightened slightly. After a moment, he murmured, "It's getting late. I have to go home."
Shao Ting's brows furrowed slightly.
"I'll have dinner brought over, let's eat together."
Jiang Wan shook his head.
"No."
After a pause, she added softly, "I have something else to do tonight."
Shao Ting's eyes darkened slightly: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Wan turned her head away from him: "You are not my boyfriend, why should I tell you?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly whimpered as if in pain, and the man pinched her waist and looked at her.
"I think it's you who didn't give me a name."
The man stared at her with eyes so dark that it made people uneasy. Jiang Wan's heart beat irregularly. After a long while, she opened her lips to say something, but the man's voice with unidentifiable emotions came to her ears again.
"I'll ask the driver to come and take you home."

It was not until the car slowly drove out of the villa area that Jiang Wan lowered his eyes and opened his mobile phone, which had received countless unread messages.
She was the first to open the chat box at the top.
Shen Yan: [When you are done, send me a message. ]
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and replied directly: [I'm done. ]
After a brief moment of deliberation, she asked again: "Ayan, have you had dinner yet? If not, I'll treat you again?"
She remembered that Shen Yan had mentioned in the afternoon that he had plans for tomorrow night, so he could only make an appointment to talk to her in person tonight.
It's not even eight o'clock yet. If Shen Yan hasn't had dinner yet, Jiang Wan would of course want to know as soon as possible what new clues he has found.
The other party replied very quickly, but the content of the message made her eyes move slightly.
Shen Yan: [I didn’t eat.]
Shen Yan: [Waiting for you. ]
Jiang Wan: [Okay, let’s meet at the originally scheduled place. I’ll be there in about ten minutes.]
After sending the message, Jiang Wan looked up at the driver in the front row and said softly, "Uncle Yu, I have to meet a friend before going home. Please take me directly to Heyuan Restaurant."
Of course, those who could work as drivers for Shao Ting were all very sensible people and did not ask any extra questions.
"Okay Miss Jiang."
Jiang Wan thanked him for his hard work again before lowering her eyes and exiting Shen Yan's chat interface.
Just as she was about to click on the remaining unread messages, her eyes suddenly stopped on a familiar name.
Jiang Guan pondered for a moment, then opened the other party's chat box.
Lu An: [I have finished my work. I can watch your live broadcast every night from now on]
Lu An: [Jiang Wan, are you broadcasting live tonight? ]
Jiang Wan's eyes paused slightly, and her pink fingertips rubbed the edge of the phone for a moment before she typed out a sentence.
[Lu An, I will no longer broadcast live every night like before. You can watch other anchors. ]
The other party responded almost instantly.
Lu An: [? ]
Lu An: [What does it mean to watch other anchors? ]
Lu An: [It’s one thing for you not to live stream, but what do you mean by pushing me to someone else? ]
Lu An: [Am I naughty again? ]
Jiang Wan blinked and explained: [Lu An, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, it's just a reminder.]
This time the man didn't reply for a long time, and Jiang Wan didn't care too much. Instead, he clicked on the message sent by Jiang Xu.
The earliest one was sent about an hour ago, which means the man should have just arrived home by then.
JX: [Wanwan, if you have time tomorrow night, can you help me again? ]
Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled, and she unconsciously recalled the man's deep and unspeakable look when he asked her if she joined Shaw because of Shao Ting. After a moment, she pressed the enter key.
[If you have time, please tell me what you want to say. 】
JX: [My father's long-time friend is having a birthday party tomorrow night, and my mother...really hopes that I can bring you along.]
Jiang Guan lowered his eyes slightly, somewhat hesitant.
Jiang Xu's father left a deep impression on her. Worried about getting into trouble, she checked online when she returned home that night.
Although he didn't find out anything, Jiang Wan still knew that the Jiang family was not an ordinary family.
This also means that Jiang's father's long-time friend must not be an ordinary person.
If she rashly went there as Jiang Xu's girlfriend, and if she met someone she shouldn't have met and got into trouble, it would be too late to regret.
After thinking for a while, she replied: [Sorry, Brother Xu, if you are just going to see your aunt, I have no problem, but if it involves other people, I still have some concerns.]
JX: [The elder didn't plan to make a big deal about it. I have a rough idea of the people I've invited, and I can make sure it won't cause you any trouble.]
JX: [But Wanwan, I don’t deny that I also have selfish motives. ]
JX: [I want to have a good talk with you tomorrow night. ]
