Top beauties: Beijing bigwigs gathered at Shura Field
Chapter 252 Apology
The moment his eyes met Ji Xingjing's, even though Jiang Wan had already felt that something strange would happen if he continued to stay there, he still froze in place for several seconds before he gradually tightened his eyes and realized his current situation.
The fear brought by the shock and the instinctive shame of her body quickly made her face turn as pale as paper. All the sounds were stuck in her throat. She couldn't make a sound or breathe, let alone respond to the man's words.
Jiang Wan almost couldn't help wondering when Ji Xingjing came, how long he had been there, and... what he saw.
Just when her mind was almost blank, her body suddenly trembled, and the man next to her grabbed her shoulders and half-huggled her in his arms.
The cold and familiar atmosphere that gave her a sense of security once again surrounded Jiang Wan from all directions. However, she was stared at by the gaze not far away, which became even more terrifying after this action. She trembled all over and her breathing became more and more difficult.
As if noticing her increasingly stiff body, Shao Ting hugged her even tighter, so tight that half of her face was buried in his chest. Even out of the corner of her eye she could no longer catch a glimpse of the tall, eye-catching and imposing figure hidden in the dim light.
A few seconds later, she heard his calm and cold voice, "Don't worry about which car you should get on, Director Ji."
As he said this, he lowered his eyes slightly and rubbed her head soothingly.
"Wanwan is indeed too young. If she had done anything in the past that offended Director Ji, I will apologize to you on her behalf."
Too young...
immature……
As if he had heard something extremely ridiculous, Ji Xingjingliang laughed, his eyes lowered to Jiang Wan who was firmly held in Shao Ting's arms, and he opened his mouth slowly: "She has been naughty and naughty in front of me many times, there is no need for outsiders to apologize on her behalf."
"On the contrary, it's just Mr. Shao, my former boss..."
His gaze fell back on Shao Ting, and a hint of sarcasm curved his lips. "I still need to remind you, if you really knew her as well as you say, she wouldn't have called me that day asking for help."
He left no room for man's mercy and even cruelly tore open the wound of the man opposite him. Shao Ting's eyes naturally became even colder and sharper to the extreme.
The atmosphere was so depressing and suffocating that Jiang Wan, the person actually involved, felt really uncomfortable.
At this moment, she seemed to be motionless in Shao Ting's arms, but in fact her heart was beating so violently that it almost jumped out of her chest.
No one knew better than Jiang Wan that no matter what she said or did at this moment, it would only add fuel to the fire.
At this moment, Shao Ting's voice, which was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, came to my ears, "Director Ji's reminder is correct."
"It was indeed my negligence in the past that gave some people the false impression that there was an opportunity to take advantage of me."
"This won't happen again."
As he spoke, he no longer held Jiang Wan's shoulders, but instead slowly moved his big hands to Jiang Wan's slender waist, his tone more indifferent than ever before.
"It's getting late, and Wanwan is tired, so let's go first. If there's anything else, Mr. Ji is welcome to come to Shaw Corporation to discuss it with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wan didn't even have time to understand his implication before Shao Ting hugged her waist tightly and turned her around stiffly.
But before she could move, Ji Xingjing's voice, so dull that it was almost inaudible, came from behind her again.
"Mr. Shao, you're being too wishful. Ask her if she's willing to go with you like this."
Shao Ting's eyes were calm, but his big hands around Jiang Wan's slender waist tightened slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at her.
Of course, Jiang Wan could notice the man's stagnant movements and the heavy gaze cast on his face.
Shao Ting had never been so uncertain before...
It was hard to tell what emotion was causing Jiang Wan's heart to sink uncontrollably, but she didn't dare to look up, and she couldn't make any response that would stop disappointing him without any psychological burden.
Everything happened so quickly that she had no idea what to do to make the situation less embarrassing.
She already knew Ji Xingjing's personality well enough, and she remembered clearly what Ji Xingjing had said to her time and time again.
It was precisely because of this clarity that she knew that if she got into Shao Ting's car tonight, the consequences would be disastrous.
And besides that...
Jiang Wan originally thought that she would never be able to be paralyzed by a man as dangerous and untouchable as Ji Xingjing, even by a little bit.
But the facts told her that emotions were simply beyond human control, especially for someone like her who hadn't felt the need to be relied upon for who knows how long, and who was struggling alone in the torrent of predetermined fate. Sincerity was the most terrifying thing.
Jiang Wan had never realized so clearly as at this moment that she could no longer be as calculating and indifferent to Ji Xingjing as she was before.
She actually heard a hint of fatigue in the man's gloomy and obscure tone.
Ji Xingjing...will he feel tired too?
However, if she was asked to leave with Ji Xingjing in front of Shao Ting... she couldn't do it even more.
Regardless of whether she did those things on purpose in the past, it was a fact that Shao Ting saved her twice.
No matter how cruel and selfish she was, she could no longer inflict irreparable harm on this man a second time.
Jiang Wan wanted to go home alone without anyone choosing her, but things had developed to this point and it was impossible to continue to smooth things over.
What are the identities of these two men?
Being able to endure until this moment is already the limit for both parties.
Therefore, she seems to have no choice but to become even worse.
This is certainly not necessarily the desired outcome of the world plot line, but it is obviously enough to make her unhappy to this extent.
Just when Jiang Wan was trying hard to remind himself to calm down and not let his mind be controlled by unnecessary emotions and soft-heartedness again and again, there was a muffled sound behind him, as if a car door was opened and then slammed shut.
Jiang Wan's eyes trembled slightly, and before she could react, she heard a familiar low voice behind her ear, "Wan Wan!"
