Chapter 1688: Keep Your Woman in Check

Hearing Xie Wanyi's name, Jiang Motian's back stiffened.

She did not look up at the other person either.

At this moment, Jiang Motian only wanted to know... who would Xie Wanyi choose to help?

Amidst Jiang Motian's nervous waiting, Xie Wanyi spoke: "Bullying you? I only saw you slap someone else!"

"That was self-defense! She was so arrogant, provoking me and even saying she would snatch you away..."

Before Xu Nianxin could finish twisting the truth, Jiang Motian slapped her right back!

This slap of hers was once again unexpected!

Xu Nianxin was completely stunned by the blow!

As she stared in a daze, Jiang Motian spoke coldly: "I am someone who cannot stand being provoked. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I will dare to grant your wish and compete with you!"

"Ha, you've finally shown your true colors! You're just a mistress, how shameless!"

Xie Wanyi frowned and scolded, "Xu Nianxin, that's enough!"

Xu Nianxin had not expected Xie Wanyi to actually snap at her, and she was stunned for a moment.

Afterward, she tearfully issued a grievance: "You are actually yelling at me for another woman?!"

Xie Wanyi did not take her fragility and grievance to heart at all, only reminding her: "When I agreed to let you stay, I told you not to cause me any trouble."

In his eyes, the warning was clear.

Xu Nianxin finally calmed down as well.

She also remembered that the reason she was allowed to stay was to make Jiang Motian believe they were a couple.

Yet she had never dared to think deeply about the underlying meaning behind Xie Wanyi's actions...

Xu Nianxin suddenly panicked.

The next second, she lowered her posture and took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry Wanyi, I love you too much, which is why I acted so impulsively. Please don't be angry, and don't send me away, okay?"

After speaking, Xu Nianxin looked at Jiang Motian again.

Deep down, she was extremely unwilling to bow her head to this woman.

But the reality of the situation forced her to show weakness.

Grinding her teeth, Xu Nianxin said: "Miss Jiang, I apologize to you. I hope you are the bigger person and will forgive me."

Jiang Motian chuckled lightly, thinking to herself why she kept running into people putting on a show today.

And this acting was worse than the last!

Jiang Motian put away her smile and asked coldly: "What if I don't forgive you?"

This retort nearly made Xu Nianxin lash out!

She cursed this bitch a hundred times in her heart.

But on the surface, she still had to feign fragility and say: "I've already apologized, what else do you want? Do you really need me to die to atone for my sins?"

As her voice fell, Xu Nianxin tugged at Xie Wanyi's sleeve in distress and asked: "What should I do? Miss Jiang refuses to forgive me."

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi also looked at Jiang Motian: "What do you want?"

In truth, Xie Wanyi asked this only to see how Jiang Motian would handle this dispute.

But Xie Wanyi's stern expression, along with the way Xu Nianxin was clinging to his arm...

Jiang Motian lowered her eyes in desolation.

Then she warned: "Keep your woman in check and stop getting in my way, otherwise, don't blame me for not considering our old ties!"

Old ties?

Xu Nianxin's eyes narrowed.

Then, she tugged on Xie Wanyi's arm and asked: "What old ties do you have? How did you know each other before? You..."

"Enough!"

Xie Wanyi's voice was not loud, but it carried great authority.

Xu Nianxin was so frightened that she immediately fell silent.

She knew she had lost her composure, but she truly could not control herself.

Now, whenever she thought about Xie Wanyi potentially being entangled with another woman, she was consumed by insane jealousy!

She even wanted to...

Xu Nianxin stared at Jiang Motian with a sinister gaze, wishing she could tear this woman to pieces right now!

Jiang Motian did not have a good impression of Xu Nianxin.

At this moment, she also did not notice any changes in Xu Nianxin's emotions.

She only felt disappointed in Xie Wanyi.

Jiang Motian also said: "Since you've found a girlfriend, treat her well. Don't always treat sincerity as your plaything."

After speaking, Jiang Motian left the presence of the two.

And this time, no one blocked her path.

Xie Wanyi did not linger either; he left the shop through the back door.

Xu Nianxin hurried to follow him.

She felt a ball of fire in her chest that could burn her to a crisp at any moment!

Seeing that Xie Wanyi had no intention of speaking voluntarily, Xu Nianxin spoke up, firing off questions:

"You two were together before, weren't you? You're not saying anything, so that's an admission! Hmph, I was wondering why that woman was so... mmmph—"

Xu Nianxin was still rambling on.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and gripped Xu Nianxin's chin, making it impossible for her to say another word!

Xu Nianxin was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face!

She looked at the culprit.

She discovered that Xie Wanyi's eyes were terrifyingly cold!

This was the first time she had ever seen such a ferocious side of Xie Wanyi.

In that instant, Xu Nianxin felt the scent of death...

Very quickly, Xie Wanyi let go of Xu Nianxin.

Xu Nianxin immediately gasped for air, gulping in large breaths.

Once she was able to speak, she immediately accused Xie Wanyi! "How could you treat me like this!?"

Xie Wanyi acted as if nothing had happened.

He shook his wrist and said, "You've been out for so long, your father must miss you very much; I will send you back in a while."

Xu Nianxin panicked: "I'm not leaving!"

"Here, that's not up to you!"

"But... you aren't the only one who has a say in the company!"

Xie Wanyi seemed to have heard a joke; he gave a light hum and then said, "Trying to use the company to pressure me? You aren't qualified enough!"

"Then is this qualified enough!"

As she spoke, Xu Nianxin took out a cooperation agreement.

Xie Wanyi took a look, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "How do you have this agreement?"

"Because the investor for this new project is me!"

When Xu Nianxin said this, her entire back straightened up.

She had originally wanted to hide it from everyone and silently support Xie Wanyi's work.

But in order to make Xie Wanyi take her more seriously, she had no choice but to reveal this secret.

And looking at the way Xie Wanyi was finally looking at her squarely...

Xu Nianxin only felt that she had revealed it too late!

Before, she only knew how to run after Xie Wanyi.

As for him, he wasn't even willing to spare her a single glance.

But now, the two of them were equals in status, and Xie Wanyi's gaze could finally land on her!

Xu Nianxin pursed her lips, her heart surging!

But before Xu Nianxin could be happy for too long, Xie Wanyi withdrew his gaze.

He even said with complete indifference: "So what? You are only an investor; you have no decision-making power, and it is even more impossible for you to meddle in the project."

"But I have the right to know. I'm not going anywhere; I'll just wait for the project to generate profit!"

"Fine, but if you have business in the future, go to the company. There will be people there to introduce the project progress to you; there is no need to look for me again."

In the end... Xie Wanyi still wanted to distance himself from Xu Nianxin.

Xu Nianxin felt a tightness in her chest.

She asked again, unwilling to give up: "Then you don't need me to pretend to be your girlfriend anymore?"

"No need. Anyway, the charge of me being a fickle lover who abandons his partner has already been set."
