Chapter 151: Something bad
The man's voice at such a close distance sounded like flirting, which was extremely annoying.
Jiang Wan had not yet recovered from the fear she had just experienced. Her pale ears instinctively blushed and she retorted in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"I do not have……"
Their breaths intertwined, and Ji Xingjing's eyes almost naturally fell on her full, moist lips.
He paused for just two seconds, and when he was about to open his mouth to say something, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures, and his eyes suddenly became dull.
When Meng Huainian and Pan Xiulin turned the corner, they saw the extremely slim and graceful girl being held tightly in the man's arms. They were caught off guard and froze in place.
They were people who had experienced countless big scenes without changing their expressions, but now they could not hide their surprise. They really did not expect to encounter such a scene one day.
The person involved...is still Ji Xingjing.
The man was obviously displeased with their staring, and his glance was unsurprisingly cold and chilling.
Both of them felt a chill down their spines from being stared at. How could they have the energy to inquire into what had just happened? They forced a smile, called out to Director Ji, and tried their best to pretend nothing had happened before stepping into the elevator.
After confirming that he had barely passed this level, Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. When he raised his eyes, he met the man's half-smile.
"Has Secretary Jiang done something wrong again?"
There was an indistinguishable emotion in the man's voice, but his eyes were like barbed hooks, staring at Jiang Wan so hard that her whole body went limp and her heart felt empty.
Cheng Li lowered his brows when Ji Xingjing hugged Jiang Wan.
Now seeing that his chairman obviously had no intention of letting him leave easily, he turned around and quietly went to wait outside the corridor on the other side of the conference room.
Jiang Wan also reacted at this time, and while struggling to break free, he denied in a low voice: "I have never done anything wrong, Mr. Ji, please don't slander me."
Ji Xingjing was relieved this time, but he still kept his eyes slightly closed, keeping her firmly in his sight.
"You didn't do anything wrong? Why weren't you so excited to see me last night?"
Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, knowing that her reaction just now clearly showed that something had happened, so she simply kept her tone steady and admitted defeat.
"Isn't it because I want to thank you for giving me the invitation?"
This reason was obviously made up, and Jiang Wan knew that the man would not believe it, but she wanted to run away quickly, so she said: "The dinner should be about to start, Director Ji, why don't we go to the third floor first?"
He is very good at flattering others, pretending to be nice and changing the subject.
Ji Xingjing looked at her leisurely for a few seconds before speaking slowly, "I have something to do. I'm not in a hurry."
Jiang Wan blinked and said quickly: "Since Director Ji is busy, I will leave and not waste your time."
Without waiting for Ji Xingjing's answer, she turned around, thinking that she had finally found a reason to leave.
However, she didn't expect that she had just taken two steps when the man grabbed her wrist and easily brought her back to him.
"Ms. Jiang, you want to run away after you've used me?"
The man's voice was obviously a little lighter, and his casual question, which was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry, made ordinary people feel terrified.
Jiang Wan was indeed a little guilty, and was somewhat afraid that Ji Xingjing would really argue with her, so she whispered, "So what do you want?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the man uttered two words slowly and leisurely.
"Cheer me."
Jiang Wan almost thought he had heard it wrong, and opened his mouth in a daze: "Huh?"
Ji Xingjing stared at her for a few seconds before he raised his eyelashes slightly: "You took advantage of me, shouldn't you compensate me and make me happy?"
The man's tone was vaguely lazi and pretentious, and it seemed more like he was coaxing... or even bewitching her.
Jiang Wan's heart was beating uncontrollably because of his few words, but after thinking about it, she realized that it was indeed thanks to Ji Xingjing that she escaped this disaster, and it was also Ji Xingjing who gave her the invitation.
Her eyes moved slightly, but she finally softened her tone: "Why not coax me?"
"Thank you, Director Ji, for giving me the invitation. It was also thanks to you that I didn't fall just now."
She did not admit that she had taken advantage of him, and seeing that the man's expression had not slowed down, she touched the man's right hand that had just pinched her wrist.
"Forgive me?"
Ji Xingjing finally lowered his eyes to look at her again. She seemed to be particularly thin-skinned when she felt guilty. The tip of her fair and clear nose was flushed, and she still looked pitiful.
He lowered his eyelashes, but a faint laugh escaped from his nose.
"Miss Jiang, are you trying to coax me or act like a spoiled child?"
Jiang Wan raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and her gentle and slow tone contained a hint of discontent.
"Then tell me whether I did coax you or not."
Ji Xingjing stared at her for a few seconds but did not deny it.
"I did coax him, but it was just average."
Jiang Wan was really annoyed this time, but before she could say anything, she caught a glimpse of the man's lips slightly raised.
"So you can only be coaxed."
Jiang Wan always felt that there was some deeper meaning in these words, but he heard the man continue: "You are smarter now. You know that the fox is taking advantage of the tiger's power."
Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her soft tone contained a hint of dissatisfaction: "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
There was no change in Ji Xingjing's expression.
“I’m encouraging you.”
Jiang Wan avoided his gaze and muttered softly, "How can it be encouragement? It's obvious that he is deliberately bullying me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a faint sneer from the man's nose.
"Is this bullying you?"
Jiang Wan was about to nod, but her waist suddenly tightened and she was pulled into the man's arms, forcing her to raise her head so that her nose was almost touching his.
"If I really want to bully you, do you think you can run away?"
