Chapter 155 Lucky mentality

Jiang Wan really didn't expect that Shao Ting would come to her in person at this time.

Especially after what happened tonight...

However, since the other party has already arrived, she, who has indeed done something wrong from the perspective of the secretary of the chairman of Shaw Group, certainly cannot let the man wait too long.

Thinking of this, she reopened Xie Heng's chat box and told him that she had something urgent to do tonight and could not do the live broadcast, then turned and went downstairs.

But after walking to the car, Jiang Wan couldn't help but stop.

In the dim night, the front car window slowly lowered.

However, the familiar figure did not sit in the back seat as usual. Instead, he leaned on the driver's seat with a slightly frown on his face, his gaze fixed on her was deep and speechless.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, Jiang Wan was the first to avoid sight and sat in the co-pilot seat consciously.

The car window was raised again, and the dim and limited space in the car almost naturally had a bit of inexplicable private atmosphere when being alone, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.

Jiang Wan pursed her lips, looked up at him, and asked softly, "Why did you... drive here in person?"

Most of the time she was as obedient as she was now, looking at him with soft eyes and speaking in a gentle tone, which made him uncontrollably soften his heart towards her while unconsciously... becoming more and more indulgent towards her.

Shao Ting held her in his gaze and spoke in a low, deep voice.

"Before you go tonight, are you really prepared for me to ignore you from now on?"

Jiang Wan heard something in his tone, and her heart moved slightly. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Do you want me to tell the truth or a lie?"

Shao Ting spoke in a calm tone.

"They all said it."

Jiang Wan lowered his eyelashes: "If you are lying, then I am ready and intend to submit my resignation application to you tomorrow."

"Because my behavior is indeed unworthy of your personal secretary, it would be better for me to resign after confessing to you."

She said it too lightly, but the existence of the lie simply meant that she really intended to do it in the end.

Shao Ting pursed his lips into a line: "What about the truth?"

Of course Jiang Wan could sense the man's sudden loss of strength, his breathing became slightly tense, and his eyes and brows showed a hint of depression that was hard to conceal.

"You know how happy I was to stay with you and stay at Shaw Corporation. How could I be ready to leave so easily?"

Shao Ting raised his eyelashes slightly, his eyes fixed on her fair and clean face, and listened to her continue: "But I still did it."

"Everyone has a sense of luck, and I certainly have that too."

"Mr. Shao, as you said, you indulge me too much, so even if I know it's wrong to do this, I still hope that you will forgive me."

Having said that, she pursed her lips and looked up at him.

"I admit that I am greedy, but... the initiative is in your hands."

Shao Ting looked at her calmly, yet suppressed a complex emotion.

He asked: "Jiang Wan, is the initiative really in my hands?"

Jiang Wan's heart trembled at the unnerving tone.

She clenched her fingers, and after a moment, she whispered, "I think so."

She thinks so.

Shao Ting's eyelids drooped slightly, and his deep voice became increasingly emotionless.

"If I had someone check all your past and find out who you were looking for before you came, what would you do?"

Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly. She was silent for a while, but shook her head.

"You won't check. If you wanted to check, you would have checked long ago."

Shao Ting almost laughed out loud, looking out the car window, his tone sounding somewhat dejected.

"You think you know me very well, so let me ask you, among the things you said before, how many of them were true and how many were false?"

Jiang Wan's heart ached a little. She knew that if a man like Shao Ting was determined to investigate, he would definitely be able to find out something was wrong by unraveling the clues.

She couldn't help but wonder what she had said to Shao Ting.

It’s true that I want to join Shaw Brothers, it’s true that I’m grateful to Shao Ting, but it’s also true that I want to use him...

She was destined to not be able to give him the response he wanted.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, looked up at him, and asked in a choked voice: "What do you think?"

Shao Ting heard the tremor in her voice, and finally turned his head to the side, his gaze falling on the corners of her eyes which were faintly watery.

After staring for a long time, he raised his hand and brushed the moisture that had already emerged from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. A hint of helplessness sank into his tired voice.

"Jiang Wan, you know how to make me soft-hearted."

"But my softness has its limits."

"You don't trust me that much, and you don't think highly of me as much as you say."

Jiang Wan's eyes became increasingly red, and the look she gave him almost melted one's heart.

She asked, “Are you disappointed in me?”

Her crying voice was the most pitiful, but she didn't even make any excuses, let alone take the initiative to explain.

Shao Ting did not answer, but that was also a tacit agreement.

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and said word by word in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"I will leave the company on my own tomorrow. Please go back... and drive slowly."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed the door and got out of the car. She pursed her lips and wiped away the tears that were rolling down unrestrainedly, with an unusually calm look in her eyes.

Shao Ting's reaction was within her expectations, but it was much milder than she thought.

Jiang Wan should have felt relieved, but his heart felt like it was being twisted by something. He wasn't sad, but he did feel a little empty for no reason.

Her fingertips unconsciously sank into her palms, and she knew that she was not cruel enough.

this is normal.

Jiang Wan also doesn't want to become emotionless one day.

However, what she didn't expect was that just when she couldn't help but quicken her pace, she heard the sound of a car door slamming behind her.

Her heartbeat slowed down, and before she could react, the man caught up with her in a few steps, put his arm around her waist, and used his tall body to hold her tightly in his arms from behind.

Her body was almost instantly enveloped by the hot breath, but the man lowered his head and sighed deeply in her ear.

"What are you running for?"

"I'm disappointed, but I didn't say I'll ignore you in the future."

"You even learned to slam the car door. How come you are so capable, huh?"
