Chapter 1672: It Was Her Own Wishful Thinking
The woman who suddenly appeared left both Xie Wanyi and Jiang Motian stunned.
Jiang Motian came to her senses and asked, "Who are you..."
"I am Wanyi's girlfriend."
Girl... friend!?
Xie Wanyi looked at the woman beside him, hesitated for a moment, and surprisingly did not deny Xu Nianxin's words.
He had already calmed down.
At this moment, even if he had a new identity, so what? He was still surrounded by danger!
Besides, what right did he have to make Jiang Motian forgive him?
She had her own life and should not be getting mixed up with someone like him!
Having thought this through, Xie Wanyi actually... smiled at Xu Nianxin.
This smile made Xu Nianxin's heart beat wildly!
It also made Jiang Motian turn pale.
She stared fixedly at the couple opposite her.
She saw the woman helping Xie Wanyi straighten his tie, saying, "You, you're just too soft-hearted, not wanting to make the girl who hit on you lose face. But you don't know that by not making things clear, you're actually wasting her time."
Someone hitting on him?
Who?
Her?
Jiang Motian felt this woman's summary was ridiculous!
But Jiang Motian could not laugh.
She clenched her fists and then asked a question: "May I ask when Mr. Xie returned?"
Xu Nianxin looked at Xie Wanyi with seductive eyes and lied: "The flight this morning."
Jiang Motian did not doubt the truth of these words.
She curled her lips, thinking that the person she saw at the Hospital... was not Xie Wanyi!
So everything, absolutely everything, was just her own wishful thinking!
Jiang Motian closed her eyes and then said: "Excuse me!"
She left as soon as she finished speaking.
Wei Yangyang, who was following not far behind, watched everything with wide eyes and opened her mouth to speak.
Jiang Motian did not give her the chance at all and dragged
her away directly.
Now, only Xu Nianxin and Xie Wanyi remained here.
Xu Nianxin's expression was not very good.
She had just seen the look in Xie Wanyi's eyes when he looked at that woman.
It was not cold, not indifferent, but... a softness she craved but had never seen in Xie Wanyi's eyes!
This gave Xu Nianxin a sense of crisis, and she asked: "Do you know that lady?"
"She is from the Li Family, don't provoke her."
Xie Wanyi said this, hoping Xu Nianxin would not cause trouble.
But where is there any reason to be found in a jealous woman?
Xu Nianxin was already considering various dangerous methods!
Seeing her silent, Xie Wanyi roughly guessed something.
To avoid complications, Xie Wanyi made a decision: "In a while, I will personally take you to the airport."
"I'm not leaving!"
"Why, have you forgotten what we agreed upon at the beginning?"
Xu Nianxin remembered, but so what?
Her mind raced, and she found an excuse: "You just told her I am your girlfriend, and then I disappear; wouldn't that clearly tell her that our relationship is fake?"
This... was indeed a problem.
But Xie Wanyi did not change his mind because of this, and said: "I can handle it myself."
"Emotional entanglements are the hardest to resolve; don't be so confident, you will need me. And I promise, I won't cause that woman any trouble!"
"Can you guarantee that?"
"Yes, that's a member of the Li Family, I don't want to look for trouble either."
As she spoke, Xu Nianxin moved closer to Xie Wanyi and raised her hand to rest it on his shoulder.
Xie Wanyi did not like Xu Nianxin's proximity; he silently took a step back.
Then he said: "I came here to do business; whoever affects my big
plans, I will not show mercy!"
Xie Wanyi gave Xu Nianxin a warning look, then turned and returned to the venue.
Xu Nianxin stood there alone, the gentleness on her face gradually disappearing.
She was always proud, yet just now, she had actually become a shield!
And while Xie Wanyi seemed on the surface to be warning Xu Nianxin to prioritize the big picture,
in reality?
He was clearly protecting that woman!
He, Xie Wanyi, had always been cold-hearted and unfeeling; what right did that woman have... to be worthy of his special attention!?
Xu Nianxin was truly dying of jealousy!
This kind of jealousy made her clench her palms tightly and look in the direction Jiang Motian had left.
Xie Wanyi was the man she had liked for many years.
It was impossible for her to let anyone else lay a finger on him.
No matter who the other person was, it was not allowed!!
Having already walked out of the building, Jiang Motian's pace grew faster and faster, and the expression on her face was also very unpleasant.
Suddenly, she was grabbed by Wei Yangyang from behind.
When Jiang Motian turned her head, she saw Wei Yangyang looking worried and asking, "Tiantian, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Judging by Jiang Motian's pale complexion, she didn't look like she was fine at all...
Wei Yangyang frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Was that guy just now really Xie Wanyi?"
"He is not!"
When Jiang Motian denied it, her expression tightened involuntarily, and her tone of voice carried very intense emotions.
Wei Yangyang took in all of her behavior.
Afterwards, she asked suspiciously, "Really not?"
"It is definitely not. Look at that person just now—greasy and base, timid and cowardly in his words and actions, and he even has a girlfriend!"
Wei Yangyang caught the main point.
She muttered, "That girlfriend doesn't look like a good person."
"Whether she is a good person or not,
what does it have to do with me? In any case, that is not the Xie Wanyi I know!"
Hearing this, Wei Yangyang couldn't help but look closely at Jiang Motian.
She had heard similar words before.
And then?
This woman ran abroad to study and only came back after many years!
Then this time...
Wei Yangyang grew anxious; she was very worried that the events of that year would repeat themselves.
But thinking about it, Wei Yangyang felt the situation was different from back then.
Now they were both independent adults.
They could go to places they wanted to go back then but didn't dare to.
For example...
Wei Yangyang pursed her lips, then suggested to Jiang Motian, "How about we go relax a bit?"
At this moment, Jiang Motian indeed needed to find something to do to make her forget everything that had just happened.
So, without even thinking, she nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Motian didn't ask how they would relax either.
Until she followed Wei Yangyang to the entrance of a bar...
Jiang Motian was silent for a moment, then turned her head to ask Wei Yangyang, "This is what you call relaxing?"
"Yeah, drinking some alcohol and dancing—isn't that relaxing? If you like something more private, we can also book a private room."
Seeing how familiar the other person seemed, Jiang Motian asked again, "Do you often come to places like this?"
"Not at all, I only came once during the last company team-building event."
Thinking of something, Wei Yangyang added in a low voice, "There are many handsome guys here, no worse than that one just now."
"You... are being ridiculous!"
"How is it ridiculous? He can turn around and find a pretty girlfriend, so why can't you find a handsome guy to pour your heart out to?"
Jiang Motian didn't like such comparisons, so she frowned and said, "Relationships are not a child's game."
"Who told you to have a relationship? I just want you to have a chat."
After finishing, Wei Yangyang didn't
care whether Jiang Motian agreed or not and dragged her into the bar.
