Hearing Wen Zhiyao's reply, Zhou Yunsheng's hanging heart finally fell.
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he asked urgently, "Working overtime? With Jiang She?"
Wen Zhiyao didn't want to cause trouble and denied it, "No, he went home straight after work."
"That's good..." Zhou Yunsheng felt much better. Jian Keyan, being noisy by his side, was urging him to go play with fireworks. Zhou Yunsheng seemed to have something to say, but Wen Zhiyao didn't want to hear it and hung up abruptly.
Turned to head back to her room when she suddenly found herself in a deep pool. Unbeknownst to her, Jiang She had appeared behind her, less than three meters away.
So, she presumed he'd heard their entire conversation.
Wen Zhiyao casually put her phone in her bag, joked, "Mr. Jiang, your eavesdropping skills are improving."
Jiang She snorted coldly, his eyes deep and unfathomable, making it hard to read his thoughts.
He stepped closer, his left hand grasping her chin, forcing her to look at him.
The man's domineering aura persisted, hovering around Wen Zhiyao.
He growled with discontent, "You were just applauding love with me, now you seamlessly comfort your fiancé. Wen Zhiyao, aren't you too shameful!"
She was being criticized as a low-life by one of the top playboys in Jiangnan City.
This 'honor' left Wen Zhiyao somewhat at a loss.
Wen Zhiyao smirked lightly, "Likewise."
Jiang She is also not a good person. This fact was known to everyone in Jiangnan City.
Identifying themselves on the same path, Wen Zhiyao was fearless.
At this moment, her phone in the bag started to ring again.
Zhou Yunsheng felt something was amiss. He called Wen Zhiyao again while avoiding Jian Keyan.
Wen Zhiyao took out her phone, saw the familiar name, and with a hint of disdain in her eyes, she turned off her phone nonchalantly.
Her back was completely enclosed in the man's arms. Jiang She's chin rested on Wen Zhiyao's shoulder, his lips curving into a quasi-smile.
He was very satisfied with Wen Zhiyao's recent move.
His eyes were filled with satisfaction, "You're at my place now, you shouldn't be thinking about other men."
Wen Zhiyao turned around, her fair fingers clung to his neck. She leaned in suddenly, her breath skimming over the man's adam's apple.
She successfully witnessed the man's adam's apple bob.
Wen Zhiyao pushed him away, deliberately keeping a distance.
She extended the tip of her tongue to lick the corner of her lips, her seductive gaze enticing the man into a mistake.
Yet, Wen Zhiyao maintained a calm face, and coquettishly said, "Mr. Jiang, aren't you overstepping? Our relationship is at most a passing fling. Once we're separated during the day, you're you, and I'm me. Whether or not I think about other men is none of your business."
Jiang She interpreted the meaning behind her words, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
A passing fling...
She sure knows how to lighten things.
Wen Zhiyao thought that Jiang She would be angry, but at least he wouldn't maintain a calm conversation with her. She was prepared to deal with him.
Yet, the next second, Jiang She played an unexpected move.
Jiang She took a step closer, one arm forcefully wrapping around Wen Zhiyao's waist, his invasive tone breaking into her heart.
He showed a dismissive smile, "You should be thanking me. I let you experience the thrill of an affair."
Wen Zhiyao scoffed, her face full of disdain, "An affair? It's just a one-night stand that turned into multiple nights. I haven't invested any feelings, just playing when I'm lonely. It's not as serious as you say."
Speaking of affairs, Zhou Yunsheng and Jian Keyan have been together for a while.
It's just that she only recently found out.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt foolish for the past.
She had overlooked so many details in the past, failing to discover the secret between these two men.
Jiang She's eyes deepened even more.
This woman, is truly cold-hearted.
"Playing when lonely..." Jiang She chewed on these words, his voice almost squeezed through his teeth, he laughed, "Actually, I was also lonely when I found you."
Wen Zhiyao nodded slightly, her face as usual, exceptionally calm.
Jiang She couldn't capture from her face, any signs of anger or jealousy.
He picked Wen Zhiyao up and carried her over his shoulder into the bedroom.
He punished her heavily!
The next day, Wen Zhiyao woke up in bed.
Jiang She was sitting at the window holding a book, the morning light scattering onto him. His firm jawline, upturned nose, and excellent facial features exuding an uneasy charm even from just a side profile.
Hearing a sound, Jiang She turned his head, his gaze meeting Wen Zhiyao's.
"Awake." Jiang She's voice was still so pleasing.
Wen Zhiyao came back to her senses, and responded with a "Hmm". Immediately afterward, she couldn't help but tease, "Mr. Jiang, this sudden 'poetic' moment doesn't fit your usual image."
Jiang She crossed one leg over the other, casually threw the philosophy book in his hand to the side table, disgust hidden within his gaze.
"Jiang Jingyan likes to read these kind of books normally. I was curious about what contents in these books attracted him, so I picked up one, only to find out that it's really boring."
Wen Zhiyao shrugged, even though they are both from the Jiang family, Jiang Jingyan was mature and steady, while Jiang She was decadent and troublesome.
Expecting him to read philosophy books? Not even in his next life!
Wen Zhiyao sympathetically said, "Don't force yourself to fit into a circle that you don't belong in. Just like your brother, he can't fit into your circle."
Jiang She rested his hand on the back of his head, leaning back on the chair, ignoring Wen Zhiyao's sarcasm. His eyebrows raised in amusement.
Jiang She smirked triumphantly, "You're right, no one understands me better than you."
Wen Zhiyao looked at the time, there was less than two hours left before work.
The clothes she wore were torn to shreds by Jiang She last night.
Out of options, she could only borrow a set of clothes from Jiang She.
Wen Zhiyao got out of bed, her waist still a little weak, her legs unsteady, and almost fell down.
The next second, she bumped directly into the man's warm embrace.
A teasing voice rang out overhead, accompanied by Jiang She's satisfied laughter, "You're throwing yourself at me early in the morning, you're way more active than last night. What, do you want me to remind you of what happened last night?"
Wen Zhiyao pushed away from his embrace.
This man, he is always lewd.
Wen Zhiyao shook her head, stepped back to keep a distance, "It's not that special, nothing worth reminiscing over."
Immediately afterward, she opened the wardrobe, took out a set of casual clothes from inside, and got dressed in front of Jiang She.
"You ruined a set of my clothes, I'm borrowing one of yours to go home."
Wen Zhiyao turned around to leave.
The delicate figure wrapped in oversized clothes appeared fragile, but exuded an air of defiance.
Jiang She whistled loudly at her retreating back, "Hey, gorgeous, need a ride home?"
Wen Zhiyao picked up her bag, without turning her head, walked away.
She couldn't depend on Jiang She for everything.
The more such women persist, the worse off they usually are in the end.
"No need, the 200,000 you gave me is enough for cab fare home."
