GBP Chapter 137 Suddenly
Chapter 137 Suddenly
The sudden feeling of brief weightlessness made Jiang Wan subconsciously cling to the chest of the person in front of him. He was still a little slow to react until he was held by the waist and stabilized.
The two of them stepped back a little almost at the same time, and when Jiang Wan raised his eyes again, he met the other's deep and obscure eyes.
The man looked as if his territory had been intruded upon, his gaze and even his breath were full of aggression.
Her ears had already turned red under his hot breath, and now she couldn't stand such a gaze. She could only lower her curled eyelashes to avoid his gaze and muttered like a coward: "Sit down, sit down."
"Why are you killing me..."
This aggrieved look really makes people lose their temper with her.
Shao Ting's Adam's apple slid down, and he deliberately ignored the overly soft and delicate touch from the girl that still remained on his chest.
After a while, he said solemnly: "I know my body well and have taken antipyretics. If I go to the hospital now, it will only make things worse."
"I know you're worried about me, so I don't find it annoying, but you do need a lesson. I told you to deal with anything tomorrow, but you still came. How can I learn my lesson if I don't get angry with you?"
As he spoke these words, he half lowered his eyes, his impenetrable gaze fixed firmly on her, his voice still deep, but much hoarseer than usual.
Inexplicably... it has a bit of a coaxing meaning.
Only then did Jiang Wan look up at him.
"Then I'm just worried that you might get burned. If the high fever doesn't go away, the consequences will be serious."
As she spoke, she lowered her head, her soft voice choking a little: "I was almost scared when I asked you not to agree just now..."
Shao Ting rarely paused, and a barely perceptible surge of emotion flashed across his eyes.
He really didn't expect that she would care so much about a minor illness that he thought was completely insignificant.
After a long silence, Jiang Wan suddenly heard the man sigh and said helplessly, "This is my fault. So, what do you want to do now?"
When he really felt that he was at fault, Shao Ting was never reluctant to apologize.
But today was a little different. In addition to apologizing, the man obviously put the initiative in her hands for the first time.
Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at him and said, "Since the antipyretic medicine is effective, you should have a good rest first. It's still early anyway. I will go home after your fever has subsided a little."
"I'll just stay by myself during this time and not disturb you, okay?"
The girl had a fair and clean face. She stared at him intently while she said this. Her eyes were soft and her tone was also soft, which made her quite convincing.
But even if it was unconvincing, Shao Ting no longer had the energy to argue with her verbally. He simply leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes, as a sign of his agreement.
The surroundings gradually became quiet, and Jiang Wan did as she said without disturbing her at all. Instead, he took out his mobile phone, opened the project information and started reading it.
Shao Ting was indeed tired. He worked all day yesterday, then took care of his mother all night without sleeping, and he did not rest even when he was sick today, so he was sleeping very soundly now.
It was obvious that Shao Ting trusted her more and more.
This means that everything she is doing now is indeed moving in the right direction.
After all, only when her likeability value gets higher and higher can her own plot be changed while gradually weakening the protagonist halo given to Meng Shuyi by the plot line. This setting makes it unconditional to rationalize whatever outrageous things Meng Shuyi does in the end.
Time passed silently. Seeing that the time was almost up and Shao Ting's breathing seemed less heavy, Jiang Wan got up and went into the bathroom, intending to tidy up his clothes, wake up, and then go home.
However, what she didn't expect was that just as she grasped the door handle and was about to walk out of the bathroom, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The sound was neither light nor heavy, but the rhythm was quite random.
Jiang Wan frowned slightly and did not go out rashly, wondering who would come to Shao Ting's house at this time.
It was obviously not Shao Ting's parents who came, so based on the man's personality, it could only be someone very close to him.
Or is it Jiang Yan?
All these thoughts flashed through his mind in a flash. While Jiang Wan was still hesitating, he vaguely heard the sound of the combination lock being opened.
The door was slammed shut, and the voice of the person who came in was deep, lazy, and carried a sense of travel-stricken and undisciplined voice.
"No one opened the door, so I came in by myself. Is my cousin sleeping?"
This sound...
Jiang Guan's expression changed slightly, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
She remembered that someone had called Shao Ting and mentioned the matter of Shao Lu'an. Logically, the other party should not come back so early.
It seems...it's because of Shao Ting's mother.
She had actually intended to reveal her live broadcast to Shao Ting before, but of course it was impossible for her to mention Shao Lu'an for no reason, and there was no need to mention it intentionally.
After all, what she gave Shao Lu'an at that time was basically a signal of rejection, so there was nothing to feel guilty about.
But in the initial stage, the focus was certainly not her attitude, but Shao Lu'an's thoughts.
What is certain is that, at least at the beginning, Shao Ting did not know that Shao Lu'an was watching her live broadcast.
Otherwise, according to the man's temperament, if he knew how his cousin Shao Lu'an felt about her, he would not allow her to get so close to him, let alone arrange for her to work as a secretary in Shaw Group.
As for now...
Maybe it was different, but she didn't need to gamble.
Of course, some of the things that have happened may not be entirely bad from another perspective.
This entanglement with Shao Lu'an, if handled at the right time, might be an opportunity to change the situation.
But not tonight.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan's eyes darkened slightly. He withdrew his right hand that was already grasping the door handle, intending to wait and see what would happen.
Of course, Shao Lu'an never expected that the person he had been thinking about all day was in the same space with him at this moment. He strode into the living room and leaned on the sofa, resting his arms behind his head, looking very lazy.
Shao Ting opened his eyes when he entered the room, and when he thought that Jiang Wan was still here, his brows slightly frowned.
"Have you been to the hospital?"
Shao Lu'an rushed back as soon as he received the call. Now that he confirmed that his aunt was fine, he was naturally relieved. So after saying "hmm" perfunctorily, he began to talk about what happened at the base during this period, and his face darkened halfway through.
"Other things are fine, but it's obviously you who instructed me not to touch my phone for such a long time. Is it necessary to go to this extent?"
Shao Ting didn't even move his eyes or eyebrows, and his bloodshot eyes seemed like a calm abyss.
"If you can't hold on, you can give up."
Shao Lu'an had long been accustomed to the direct and intimidating tone in his voice, so he just raised the corners of his lips and said sarcastically: "Cousin, it's been so many years, why are you still using this old-fashioned method of provoking me?"
"It's enough for you to be useful."
Shao Ting calmly glanced in the direction of the lighted restroom and said in a low voice, "If you have nothing else to do, go back. I'll call the base to confirm before 2 a.m."
It was before 2 a.m., and that was even when his drive to the base was calculated.
Shao Lu'an was naturally displeased. He frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and his pupils suddenly shrank.
After a while, he straightened up suddenly, staring at the corner of the sofa, and said word by word with some disbelief and almost certainty: "Cousin, there is a woman hidden in your house."
