Chapter 205 Getting what you want
Xie Heng studied the expression on her face and said in a low voice, "I didn't have time to watch the live broadcast that day, and I happened to see it when I clicked on the Cool Cat homepage."
After a pause, he continued, "Speaking of which, I have to take some time to go to the Shen family in the next two days. I just got the news yesterday that Mr. Shen suddenly became seriously ill."
Jiang Wan's heart tightened a little. He didn't expect to hear this news suddenly.
She and Shen Yan hadn't been in touch for a few days. The other party didn't contact her, and she was already in a state of panic, so she really didn't have time to take the initiative to ask about the other party.
Thinking of this, she decided to call Shen Yan later. She looked at Xie Heng and said softly, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have known about this."
Xie Heng caught the emotion in her eyes and said softly, "Don't worry too much. The Shen family is originally a medical family, and Mr. Shen has always been in good health. I believe he can get through this."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door of the private room and a waiter came in pushing a dining cart.
Jiang Wan temporarily calmed down her thoughts, and Xie Heng also changed the subject, asking her to try the dishes here to see if they suit her taste.
But to be honest, if Xie Heng can bring people to eat at a place, you can probably find nothing wrong with it. The main dishes and desserts are quite in line with Jiang Wan's preferences.
In addition, Xie Heng was obviously very good at catering to her interests, and he talked about a lot of things related to recent investment and finance. Jiang Wan was rarely quite engaged in the conversation, so the dinner lasted for quite a long time.
When they were having a great time, Jiang Wan also drank some white wine.
She didn't have much of a tolerance for alcohol, but she wasn't completely unable to drink either. She knew her limits and wouldn't drink any more after getting a little tipsy.
But in this dim lighting atmosphere, the air gradually became ambiguous and unclear.
Jiang Guan's face was originally as white and clean as cream, but now a blush gradually appeared on her pale face, and her pair of ink-black eyes were full of affection, giving rise to an indescribable desire.
But her eyes were so soft, and her tone was so soft, that she seemed particularly well-behaved, and people didn't think too much of her.
Xie Heng looked at her quietly, his heart already softened.
He raised his hand to check the time, and suddenly whispered, "Wanwan, can I take you to see some different places?"
Jiang Wan's eyelashes twitched slightly: "What?"
The man did not continue to explain. He stood up and led her out of the private room, then walked across the corridor and down the long stairs.
Jiang Wan slowed down his pace. Only then did he realize that there was another world inside this restaurant. The place they were in now was the real first floor.
But to be more precise, this should be a terrace from which one can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire river. Across the river is the center of Beijing, which is made up of many magnificent neon lights towering into the clouds.
The Zhongrong Mansion where she worked, including Jingda University, was right across the street.
The sudden and vast night view made Jiang Wan's heart tremble inexplicably. After standing there in a daze for a few seconds, he walked step by step to the edge of the terrace.
The closer we got to the river, the stronger the night wind became.
She felt her shoulders sink unconsciously, and Xie Heng behind her put the suit jacket that was originally draped over her wrist on her.
In an instant, all her senses were filled with the burning masculine scent mixed with a light sandalwood scent. Jiang Wan subconsciously tried to move away, but was held down on the shoulders. A man's deep voice followed behind her ear: "It's cold by the river, don't catch a cold."
Jiang Wan curled her fingertips lightly and was about to turn around to say something when she suddenly heard a loud noise in her ears.
Her pupils shrank slightly, and before she could react, she saw something rising into the sky in the distance and blooming to its fullest. The brilliant fireworks spread across the night sky almost instantly, and then fell like a waterfall.
Countless fireworks rose into the sky one after another endlessly, illuminating the river surface at night with sparkling gold.
Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled uncontrollably. She realized something belatedly and was at a loss for words. The man behind her said, "I heard there will be fireworks here tonight, so I thought of bringing you to see them."
"Wanwan, whether it's study or life, you have achieved what you wanted."
What you wish for...
I just happened to hear about it, so why don't you bring her to see it?
Jiang Wan didn't dare nor want to delve into it. He stared at the still bright and prosperous night sky in silence for a long time before he whispered softly, "Thank you, Brother Heng."
She turned around slowly and raised her eyes to meet his deep gaze: "I also wish Brother Heng all his wishes come true."
Little did she know that in Xie Heng's eyes, the smile in her slightly moist eyes was much more dazzling than fireworks.
He raised the corner of his lips and said in a gentle tone: "I'll take your good words."
He really didn't have anything he wanted in the past, but now that he has it, he doesn't know how to treat her.
It is impossible for someone as sensitive as Jiang Wan to be unaware of such strong emotions.
She felt increasingly confused, but Xie Heng seemed to be unaware of it. He walked up to her and whispered, "Just watch for a while and then go in. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."
Jiang Wan had no choice but to collect his thoughts temporarily, pursed his lips and turned around, ready to concentrate on enjoying the fireworks.
However, just as she raised her eyes, the figure she caught a glimpse of in her peripheral vision made her heart beat faster, and she was so frightened that she almost forgot to breathe.
Just now, Xie Heng had been standing behind her, so she was completely unaware that a tall figure that was completely difficult to ignore had appeared on the viewing balcony in the middle of the restaurant's fourth floor.
In the dim light, the man's back was pitch black. One hand was casually resting on the railing, and the other hand was holding a mobile phone to his ear as if he was answering a call. His seemingly calm eyes... were clearly fixed on her without blinking.
