Chapter 209 Going back on one's word
His lips and tongue were entangled and sucked fiercely, and his center of gravity suddenly rose into the air. Jiang Wan's body could hardly stop shaking, and his soft arms had to instinctively hug Xie Shiqian's neck tightly.
This posture was obviously too convenient for the man to take advantage of. The kiss became deeper and heavier. Jiang Wan could not resist it at all and her whole body almost turned into mud.
Until she finally caught her breath, she struggled to open her blurry and wet eyes, barely put one hand on his chest, and reminded him in a trembling voice: "What did Mr. Xie say just now? Have you forgotten so quickly?"
The moment the words fell, the hot and humid air around them seemed to stagnate in an instant, and the kiss that was almost making people unable to control their desire also came to an abrupt end.
Xie Shiqian slowly opened his eyes which had become clear and calm again, and stared at her for a moment from a close distance before he released his hold on her and put her down.
"I am sorry for being rude."
He did not hesitate to apologize, and the atmosphere around him became warm again, but the feeling of oppression that seeped into his bones never disappeared.
Only Jiang Wan could clearly sense the extremely dangerous predatory nature in the man's eyes that had not yet completely disappeared.
Jiang Wan had never been so clearly convinced that she had good reasons to be so wary of Xie Shiqian, and her body's reaction just now made it all clear.
She took a deep breath, looked up at him, and steadied her tone: "Mr. Xie, can I leave now?"
Xie Shiqian's eyes stayed on her face for two seconds before he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Go away."
Jiang Guan's thick eyelashes trembled, and she quickly withdrew her gaze and walked to the door.
Since Xie Shiqian agreed to let her leave first, it meant that there was no problem with her leaving now.
Trying his best to ignore the gaze of the man behind him, Jiang Wan slowly opened the door of the private room.
However, she had just taken half a step when she saw two figures not too far away, which made her stop in her tracks instantly.
Her eyes narrowed. She really didn't expect to see these two people here.
The other party had obviously just passed by the door a few seconds ago. Jiang Wan could even clearly hear the low and soft voice full of grievance from the person on the right.
"Fu Chi, my father has locked me up at home for so long. I finally begged him to let me out and tried every possible way to invite you here to see you. Now that you are here, why not have dinner with me..."
Fu Chi didn't even look at her, and his tone was full of distance.
"I've said it before, the group has been busy lately, and I'm very busy. If I knew it was you, I wouldn't have come over to eat this free meal."
Meng Shuyi could no longer accept his cold and distant attitude. She grabbed his arm with tears in her eyes.
"Fu Chi, I have already promised you again and again that I will give up forcing you to be with me, and I will be good and behave myself from now on, and treat you as my brother as I did in the past. Why are you still so heartless to me?"
"Have you forgotten all the feelings we've had over the years?"
Fu Chi finally stopped and looked at her: "Because that was before."
His eyes were no longer as angry as before. Even when he looked at her tearful face, there was no pity in his eyes: "I did give you a chance to stop before, but you didn't take it. You didn't give up at all."
"So I'm going to tell you one last time. No matter what you say or do in the future, I won't believe you anymore. There's no way we can have a future. Do you understand?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, before Meng Shuyi could respond, Fu Chi caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.
His brows twitched slightly and he turned his head suddenly, but he only caught a glimpse of the light-colored skirt that disappeared from his sight almost instantly, and... the sound of the door closing, which was very light but still made a muffled sound.
Looks like her, but I can't be sure it's her.
During this period of time, some emotions that he had tried so hard to suppress were almost unconcealable.
However, when his eyes met Meng Shuyi's tearful eyes full of acceptance, Fu Chi had to put aside those seemingly plausible doubts.
He pulled the corners of his lips, and his tone became completely cold.
"I have work to do tonight, Shuyi, stop pestering me."

Of course Jiang Wan, who had to return to the private room, did not hear Fu Chi's last words.
She knew very well that if Meng Shuyi, who still had the aura of a protagonist, saw her in this situation, even if nothing happened tonight in the place where Xie Shiqian and Xie Heng were, there would be no benefit in the future.
With the mentality of thinking less trouble is worse than more, Jiang Wan returned to the private room.
However, before she could recover from the shock, a low and emotionless voice came from behind her.
"What did you see?"
The man's tone was so calm that it seemed like he was asking casually, but Jiang Wan still keenly sensed the strong and dangerous sense of oppression.
Her back stiffened, and she realized who was in the room she returned to.
She let go of the door handle and turned slowly.
The man's gaze on her face seemed gentle and casual, but a little too direct. When he looked at her from a distance of just two steps, it was so direct that the person facing him couldn't help but feel confused.
But perhaps because he has faced it many times, the more complicated his emotions were this time, the less tense Jiang Wan's expression was.
She pursed her lips and replied softly, "Nothing, I just think... maybe it's better for you to leave first."
Xie Shiqian didn't seem to care. He just lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice: "Ms. Jiang, have you forgotten that you just criticized me for going back on my word?"
