Chapter 191 Not living up to expectations
Chapter 191 Not living up to expectations
In fact, Shao Lu'an came to Jiang Wan's house completely involuntarily.
After leaving the girl's house in the morning, he had thought about stopping there and pretending that he had never met Jiang Wan.
But the more he thought about it, the more memories of his time with Jiang Wan kept flooding into his mind.
Whether it was during the live broadcast or when they met, he just couldn't stop recalling every word she had said to him, every expression when she spoke, as if possessed...
However, Shao Lu'an was not completely unconscious. He had witnessed with his own eyes the involvement between her and Shao Ting, so he had to force himself to constantly recall the scene of the girl being hugged by Shao Ting and kissed deeply, to remind himself how ridiculous his thoughts were.
However, it turned out that he was really not up to the mark.
Whenever he felt his heart tighten at the stimulation of those images, Shao Lu'an couldn't help thinking that maybe Jiang Wan did not completely forget about him, otherwise why would she bring him home last night.
He even had the audacity to speculate, maybe? Maybe she had finally softened her heart towards him.
It was this seemingly plausible delusion that supported him to arrive at Jiang Wan's doorstep.
Thanks to the fact that Jiang Wan brought him back home in front of the property management last night, the security guard let him into the community directly after recognizing him.
Shao Lu'an thought, this is the last time.
As long as he heard Jiang Wan say with his own ears that she really liked Shao Ting and would be with Shao Ting, he would completely give up and would never bother her again.
Knowing that Jiang Wan worked for Shaw Group, Shao Lu'an thought he would have to wait until at least six or seven in the evening.
But what he didn't expect was that less than half an hour after he arrived, the elevator made a "ding" sound without any warning and slowly opened.
Shao Lu'an certainly didn't expect Jiang Wan to come home at this time, so when he raised his eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures embracing and kissing each other in the cramped elevator space, he frowned and lowered his head.
But he soon realized something was wrong, and when he suddenly raised his eyes, his head buzzed, the blood in his body froze, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
Who else could the girl who was held in the man's arms and kissed until her cheeks flushed and her eyes were blurred be but Jiang Wan...
This scene was so familiar, so familiar that he had just seen it last night.
The continuous stimulation made Shao Lu'an's heart seem to be tightened to death, and even his throat was so tight that he couldn't utter a single word.
His gaze was so fierce and scorching that Jiang Wan of course noticed it quickly.
When she caught a glimpse of the familiar figure at the door, her pupils suddenly constricted and she raised her hand to push the man in front of her away.
This has nothing to do with whether she feels guilty or not. She already knows Shao Lu'an's character very well. No matter from which angle, Jiang Wan doesn't want him to see this scene again.
Ji Xingjing of course also noticed her dodging. After glancing at Shao Lu'an, he easily grabbed her wrist and held her tighter, whispering with a smile.
"Why are you panicking?"
"You're so flustered in front of everyone, do you really think you're having an affair with me?"
After he said this, Jiang Wan didn't react at all, but Shao Lu'an was so stimulated by his intimate behavior that his rationality was shattered.
The emotions that had been accumulated since last night surged in his veins. The moment his eyes became extremely cold, the tense atmosphere around him almost gave way to gunpowder.
But Jiang Wan certainly couldn't just watch things get out of control, so she raised her eyes and looked at Ji Xingjing, who hadn't even moved his eyes or eyebrows from beginning to end, took a deep breath, and softened her tone.
"Thank you for taking me home. Let's talk next time, okay?"
She was very good at giving in, and the way she looked up at him clearly showed that she hoped he would back down.
Ji Xingjing narrowed his eyes, stared at her for a moment, pinched her waist for a split second, but ultimately did not reject her intention. His gaze turned to Shao Lu'an, his tone indifferent and calm.
"Give your cousin my regards."
Shao Lu'an had regained his senses by now.
His temperament has finally calmed down and he will no longer act so recklessly as he did in the past.
For people like them, if it is not unilateral suppression or killing with one blow, venting anger by violence is the lowest means, to put it bluntly.
After staring at Ji Xingjing for a long time, Shao Lu'an sneered, "I never say hello on behalf of others."
Ji Xingjing didn't even look at him again, but raised his hand and patted Jiang Wan's slender waist.
"Send me a message when you're on break."
After he finished speaking, his tone became slightly colder.
"Not too long."
Jiang Wan knew that the key point was the latter sentence.
She did not refute until the elevator door slowly closed and the man's figure gradually disappeared. Then she turned around and looked at Shao Lu'an, whose eyes were bloodshot and his expression was stiff and speechless.
After staring at each other in silence for a while, she sighed and asked softly, "Lu An, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Shao Lu'an lowered his eyelids and stared at her for a long time, then spoke word by word: "Jiang Wan, you make me feel like this is all a dream."
His voice was extremely hoarse, Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his tone remained unchanged: "It's not a dream."
“What you see is real.”
She looked so harmless and her voice was even as soft and tender as ever, but her words were like a needle that went straight into Shao Lu'an's heart.
Shao Lu'an pulled the corners of his lips and it took a long time before he made any sound.
"Your fans all say how gentle you are."
"But Jiang Wan, you are not gentle to me at all."
"Even until today, I still fantasize that you took me back to your house because you were soft-hearted towards me..."
It is true that he is soft-hearted, but that is not all. So in front of Shao Lu'an, this soft-heartedness is equivalent to nothing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "Lu An, you can think even worse of me."
Shao Luan took a deep breath, feeling bitter in his throat: "I've already thought badly of you."
But he still couldn't stop thinking about it. What's the use?
After a long silence, he lowered his head and whispered, "Where's my cousin?"
"Does he know that you and Ji Xingjing... have reached this point?"
Shao Ting's figure flashed through his mind again. Jiang Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, but his tone remained calm.
"He knows more than you do."
Maybe everyone thought that she and Ji Xingjing had reached the final step.
After a pause, she said softly, "I won't work at Shaw anymore. Lu An, you should wake up."
Not working at Shaw Brothers anymore?
Shao Lu'an suddenly realized something, pressed his fingertips hard against his palm, sneered, and whispered: "You chose Ji Xingjing?"
Jiang Wan didn't nod, but didn't deny it either.
Now that things have come to this, we might as well take this opportunity to make Shao Lu'an give up.
If she continues to be involved with Shao Lu'an, she will truly be heartless in front of Shao Ting.
