Chapter 1774: Wait a Little Longer, I

Xie Wanyi's expression turned serious in an instant.

He felt that things... had become complicated.

Seeing Xie Wanyi turn serious, Jiang Motian suddenly felt a bit nervous.

To avoid any misunderstanding by Xie Wanyi, Jiang Motian said first, "I want to state beforehand, I definitely trust you!"

Her assurance was somewhat abrupt.

Xie Wanyi thought for a moment before realizing that his expression had frightened Jiang Motian.

The next instant, Xie Wanyi softened his expression.

He raised his hand to stroke Jiang Motian's hair and said, "I know, and for the sake of your trust, I will not let you down."

Xie Wanyi's display made Jiang Motian let out a long breath.

Afterwards, she heard Xie Wanyi ask, "Then what about your parents? Do they trust me?"

"Their attitude is quite fair, it's only my brother..."

Mentioning Li Xingyan, Jiang Motian wanted to sigh.

She felt her brother was too stubborn!

Xie Wanyi, however, did not feel any surprise.

He only asked, "What kind of arrangement did you all actually make?"

"That Antique Clock was something my family managed to get hold of; they want to use this item to lure out Li Shu."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wanyi knew he had accidentally ruined the trap they had set.

And judging by Jiang Motian's expression, there was still room to salvage the situation.

However...

Xie Wanyi had to remind her: "I am certain this clock does not belong to Li Shu."

"I know, but it can attract Li Shu's attention."

So, the Li Family brought the Antique Clock here, and their primary goal was to attract attention?

Then they had succeeded.

Today's display was very eye-catching.

He believed Li Shu already knew.

But that did not mean things would succeed.

Based on his understanding of Li Shu, Xie Wanyi said, "Li Shu is cautious; knowing this is prepared for him, he certainly won't appear."

"Then will he have someone secretly get the item to him afterwards?"

This...

Xie Wanyi asked, "As long as the item can be handed over to him, the plan is considered complete?"

"Yes, because this clock..."

Jiang Motian opened her mouth to reveal the secret.

But Xie Wanyi used his finger to press against Jiang Motian's lips.

Then he said, "There are too many people here; don't talk about important matters yet."

Can't she talk about it?

Jiang Motian was very anxious.

The feeling of having a secret weighing on her heart was very uncomfortable.

Jiang Motian frowned as she looked toward the auction stage, feeling heavy-hearted.

Xie Wanyi suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with certainty, "I know what you are planning now."

He knew it just like that?

Jiang Motian asked uncertainly, "Do you really know?"

"Mm."

Although Xie Wanyi gave an affirmative answer, Jiang Motian was still not at ease.

She shook her head and requested, "Lean your ear over, I'll tell you personally."

Xie Wanyi obediently pressed his ear against Jiang Motian's lips.

Then a faint voice entered his ears: "There is a Monitor inside the clock; as long as Li Shu takes it away, we can eavesdrop on him!"

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi's expression did not change.

He said calmly, "It's about what I expected."

"Then will you help?"

Xie Wanyi curled his lips and gave a firm response: "I will."

This answer made Jiang Motian heave a sigh of relief.

Then she beamed: "I knew you would help!"

Watching Jiang Motian's look of relief, Xie Wanyi couldn't help but reach out and affectionately stroke her cheek.

He added, "Leave the rest to me."

"Don't be anxious either, take it slow; your safety is what matters most."

Xie Wanyi knew that Jiang Motian cared about him very much.

But...

There were some things that one couldn't help but be anxious about.

Xie Wanyi truly wanted to figure out his own identity right now!

Once Xie Wanyi figured out his identity, he would definitely tell Jiang Motian at the very first opportunity.

She... should be very happy, right?

The corners of Xie Wanyi's mouth curled up with a hint of ease, involuntarily.

Jiang Motian was watching Xie Wanyi without blinking.

She saw a complex light flash in Xie Wanyi's eyes.

Jiang Motian felt it was strange.

She tilted her head and murmured, "Why does it feel like you are also hiding something from me?"

"I don't intend to hide it from you, I just need some time to verify a few things. Once I find the results, I will give you a surprise."

"Are you sure it's a surprise and not a shock?"

Xie Wanyi reached out and flicked Jiang Motian's nose.

Then he said, "As for what it actually is, you can judge for yourself when the time comes."

"But I don't want to wait; why not just tell me now?"

As Jiang Motian said this, she even blinked at Xie Wanyi.

That quirky and clever appearance was truly adorable.

But Xie Wanyi did not yield because of this.

He stroked the top of Jiang Motian's head and explained, "There is no concrete evidence yet, and I don't want to give you false hope."

"But compared to a surprise, I would rather you be safe and sound."

Jiang Motian's words were very plain.

Yet they tugged at Xie Wanyi's heartstrings.

He took Jiang Motian's hand, and then their fingers interlaced.

He then planted a kiss on her brow.

The interaction between the two was as sweet as a painting.

But to some people, it felt very cloying.

Li Xingyan frowned and said with a bit of disdain, "Is it necessary to do so many little things?"

Li Moning felt it was necessary!

Sigh, these intimate little gestures are just too sweet!

But she would not discuss these things with Li Xingyan.

Because that would be like playing the lute to a cow.

Li Xingyan's brow furrowed even tighter, and then he muttered, "Tiantian should have succeeded, right?"

"Does that even need to be said? She even used a beauty trap; she definitely succeeded!"

"But I always feel the plan isn't very reliable."

Li Moning glanced at the person beside her, and finally, unable to hold back, she said a fair word: "If you don't trust someone, don't use them; if you use them, don't doubt them. Since you chose Xie Wanyi, don't let your mind wander."

Li Xingyan withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Moning, and asked, "You little girl, have you learned to lecture me now?"

"I didn't mean to lecture you, but to answer your question."

"Hmph, what a short-sighted answer."

Li Moning felt her brother was so annoying!

And his words were so unpleasant to hear!

Making a face at Li Xingyan, Li Moning turned and left.

Li Xingyan did not notice where Li Moning went.

He wanted to get something to drink.

But just as he turned around, he nearly bumped into a young woman.

The other party said timidly, "Sorry."

"It's fine."

Li Xingyan was in a restless mood; he said these three words simply and was about to leave.

The girl called out to him and said, "My juice got on your clothes; please use this handkerchief to wipe it off first."

As she spoke, the girl handed over a clean handkerchief.

The handkerchief was made of real silk and cost at least four figures.

In the bottom right corner, a small red flower was embroidered, looking lifelike.

Li Xingyan didn't even look and refused, "No need."

"Please wipe it off; otherwise, I will feel terrible about it."

The girl gave off a feeling of being fragile and kind.

A normal man would find it very hard to refuse this type.

But Li Xingyan...

Clearly, he was not very normal.

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: "Say that again?"
