Chapter 25 Innocent
Chapter 25 Innocent
The moment the words fell, Shen Yan's eyes suddenly froze.
After a long while, he pursed his thin lips lightly, and his breath rarely let out a faint sense of helplessness.
"Did you deliberately provoke me, Jiang Wan?"
He had noticed it when they first met, and now he was sure of it.
But the girl obviously also noticed something. After thinking for a while, she raised her smiling eyes and looked straight at him.
"If I say yes, will you be angry, and then... ignore me again when you see me next time?"
Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and before he could think seriously, the voice had already given the answer.
"will not."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wan chuckled.
"That's fine, but I was just joking with you."
After she finished speaking, she added another sentence.
"I'm not that bad."
She spoke slowly as she said this, with the last word trailing off in a soft and weak tone, and for a moment she really made people feel that she was extremely innocent.
Shen Yan couldn't completely confirm whether she was innocent. He just stared at the smile in Jiang Wan's eyes for a moment, and finally realized that he always seemed to lose some reason in front of her.
This abnormal emotion is like a soft feather brushing against your heart, making you feel itchy.
But for Shen Yan, he felt more at a loss.
Just at this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.
After glancing at the screen, Shen Yan remained silent for two seconds. After whispering to Jiang Wan that he needed to answer a call, he walked out of the lounge and pressed the answer button.
"grandfather."
The voice on the other end of the phone was full of energy.
"How come you disappeared in the blink of an eye? Come directly to the VIP room. You will see not only Lao Liang but also other people later."
Shen Yan frowned and whispered, "I know."
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and went back to the lounge. When he was about to say something, Jiang Wan spoke first: "Okay, the auction has already started, you go and do your work first, I'm fine here, don't worry."
Her voice was still soft, but her tone suddenly became polite, as if the laughter just now was just Shen Yan's illusion.
Shen Yan's expression didn't change, but he felt inexplicably lost in his heart.
At this time, he still hadn't realized what it meant to worry about gains and losses. He just realized for the first time that although Jiang Wan seemed to be defenseless towards others, he was actually free and sober.
Perhaps very few people can truly understand her thoughts.
At least Shen Yan couldn't do that at this time.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but add her on WeChat on the grounds that he needed to know the follow-up of her injury.
Shen Yan couldn't deny that after seeing the other party agree to add him as a WeChat friend, he felt an uncontrollable sense of excitement in his heart.
But...it was just adding WeChat friends.
Jiang Wan naturally didn’t know Shen Yan’s many thoughts, or even if she knew, she wouldn’t bother to delve into them.
Not long after Shen Yan left, Yin Xi came back, and of course she saw the marks on Jiang Wan's ankle at a glance.
"Is it okay? There is a special medical room in the villa. I'll take you there for treatment."
Her tone was filled with worry.
Jiang Wan smiled and shook his head.
"It's really okay. I know my own body. It just looks very red. It will be back to normal soon."
She has thin blood vessels, so she is easily left with scars from bumps and bruises. It does look a bit shocking, but in fact, there are rarely any serious problems.
Only then did Yin Xi feel relieved.
"Everything seems to be going well at the auction, so just take a rest. Although the reward is only half of theirs, it's still good compared to normal activities."
Hearing about the reward, Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, and he said seriously: "Sister Xi, to be honest, I was indeed short of money two days ago, so I tried to contact you, but after trying the live broadcast these two days, I have alleviated the urgent need.
I didn't really spend anything on this trip, so I'm naturally embarrassed to accept this money."
Yin Xi would occasionally watch live broadcasts, so she naturally knew that live broadcasts were indeed very profitable. If she were in his shoes, she would probably not be able to resist giving Jiang Wan gifts.
Therefore, Yin Xi did not doubt the truthfulness of Jiang Wan's words at all, but she did not expect Jiang Wan to be so frank, and her favorable impression of him increased even more.
"The remuneration is given by the organizer based on the number of participants, so it belongs to you. If you are really worried, why not treat me to a meal when you are free in a few days?"
At this point, she raised her eyebrows slightly, paused deliberately, and said in a drawling tone: "Wanwan, you won't be reluctant to let go, right?"
Of course Jiang Wan knew that she was joking, and he also saw that Yin Xi was trying to get close to him, so he couldn't help but chuckle.
"How can I be reluctant? I must make good arrangements for Sister Xi."

Because reception not only requires welcoming guests, but also seeing them off one by one, so when Jiang Wan returned to the rented house after everything was over, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
According to her habit of the past two days, she should have met He Nanchao by now, but today she was awakened at around five in the morning and was too sleepy at the moment.
So after sending a message to He Nanchao saying goodbye tomorrow, Jiang Wan fell into a deep sleep.
At that time, He Nanchao was just asking the editor about Jiang Wan's meeting time and place today. When he suddenly received the message, his first reaction... was to feel a strong sense of loss.
Before meeting Jiang Wan, He Nanchao knew very well that he had been in despair and depression for a long time.
He even occasionally thought about ending his life.
Anyway, all my relatives have left, and I have nothing to worry about or hope for in this world.
But now, without realizing it, Jiang Wan has become the most anticipated part of his daily life...
He didn't know from when it started, but he began to look forward to seeing that pretty face that always smiled, and to hearing her calling his name softly while looking at the camera.
Many times, He Nanchao even felt that the pair of dark and bright eyes were more beautiful and precious than any scene he had captured in the past few years.
But He Nanchao knew better that to Jiang Wan he was just a partner who could not be replaced in a short period of time.
That's all.
He Nanchao stared at Jiang Wan's message box on the phone screen for a long time, his expression becoming increasingly empty.
*
Of course, it’s not just He Nanchao who is looking forward to seeing Jiang Wan every day. There are also fans who are eagerly waiting for Jiang Wan’s live broadcast.
Perhaps it has become a habit. As time approaches eight o'clock in the evening, many netizens cannot help but refresh their Weibo interfaces, waiting for Jiang Wan to update his status before the live broadcast.
However, whether it was Jiang Wan's Cool Cat homepage or Weibo homepage, apart from the ever-increasing number of fans, no new content was released until almost 8:30.
