Chapter 1998: The Outstanding Woman Who Matches Him

This response made Li Xingyan press his lips together tightly.

Wei Yangyang could feel the air pressure around Li Xingyan was very low.

Just as well, she didn't want to keep chatting either.

So she smiled at Li Xingyan and ended the conversation: "I'm going to find Tiantian, goodbye."

After saying this, Wei Yangyang turned and walked away step by step under Li Xingyan's gloomy stare.

Jiang Motian had been waiting for Wei Yangyang the whole time.

Therefore, she had long since noticed Wei Yangyang chatting with her brother.

When Wei Yangyang walked to her side, Jiang Motian asked impatiently: "What did you say to my brother? It feels like you made him angry again."

"I didn't say anything, just a simple chat."

A simple chat?

No, this chat was likely not simple at all.

Wei Yangyang didn't keep talking about her own affairs either.

She steered the topic toward Li Xingyan's female companion: "Who is the woman standing next to Li Xingyan?"

"Su Kexuan, she is my brother's classmate."

"It feels like they have a good relationship."

"Yeah, they got along very well when they were in school."

"So that's how it is."

Being able to stay by Li Xingyan's side meant that this person was outstanding enough.

And only a woman who was this beautiful, capable, and charming could be a match for Li Xingyan.

Looking at herself in contrast...

She was truly unremarkable.

Wei Yangyang's mood suddenly became very low.

She suddenly didn't want to say another word.

Jiang Motian sensed Wei Yangyang's low spirits and couldn't help but call out softly: "Yangyang?"

"Um, I'm not feeling well, so I'll head back first."

"Where are you not feeling well? Did you catch a chill?"

"No... my high heels are uncomfortable, my feet hurt, I'll be fine once I go back and rest."

Jiang Motian originally wanted to give a few words of advice.

But Wei Yangyang patted her shoulder, signaling that she was fine.

Afterward, she walked toward the exit of the banquet hall alone.

Jiang Motian looked at her back and suddenly felt... why was that last smile of Wei Yangyang's so bitter?

At this moment, Xie Wanyi walked over.

He asked: "Wei Yangyang is going back so early?"

"Yeah, it feels like Yangyang hasn't been in a good mood since she came back from the restroom. Her chat with my brother wasn't very pleasant either."

"She met with Li Xingyan?"

"Mm, my brother's expression didn't look too good either."

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi looked up, wanting to find Li Xingyan's figure.

As a result, before he could find Li Xingyan, he first saw two women peeking in their direction.

After being discovered by Xie Wanyi, the two still had a guilty look on their faces.

Xie Wanyi thought for a moment and said to Jiang Motian: "As for why Wei Yangyang is in a bad mood, those two people over there might know the reason."

"Huh?"

"Let's go, let's go over and ask."

After saying this, Xie Wanyi led Jiang Motian over.

And the two who had just been peeking at them were the very same two women who had been badmouthing Wei Yangyang in the restroom.

Seeing Jiang Motian coming over, they became extremely nervous.

When Jiang Motian stood in front of them, one of them decided to take the initiative: "Did Miss Wei complain to you? But we already apologized to her!"

The other party was confessing without being asked.

Jiang Motian asked calmly: "Is an apology useful?"

"But... it was just a few jokes, a generous person wouldn't take it to heart! Besides, Miss Su already stood up for her, what more do you want."

Jiang Motian raised her eyebrows unconsciously and asked: "Just now, was Su Kexuan there too?"

"Yes."

Since Su Kexuan had helped, why didn't Yangyang mention it just now?

Logically speaking, Yangyang should really admire a strong woman like Su Kexuan.

Jiang Motian became even more confused.

Seeing the two women opposite still waiting for her to speak, she said listlessly: "Yangyang didn't complain."

"Then you..."

"I just thought your necklace was very pretty and wanted to ask about the brand. But now, I'm not in the mood."

After saying this, Jiang Motian dragged Xie Wanyi away.

Xie Wanyi turned his head to look at her and said: "Your eyebrows are twisted into caterpillars."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Motian smoothed out her brows.

However, there was still a trace of worry in the depths of her eyes.

Xie Wanyi could not help but ask, "What are you worried about?"

"I feel that Yangyang is very strange today."

"That might be because you put too much pressure on her."

Jiang Motian immediately stopped in her tracks, showing a puzzled expression: "I put pressure on her?"

Xie Wanyi nodded.

Then he explained, "Coming to an occasion like this for the first time, it's natural to feel uncomfortable, and you even took her around to socialize; it's inevitable that she would find it overwhelming."

"But a good start will give her more confidence; I am just helping her get off to a good start!"

"But this 'good start' of yours has somewhat exceeded Wei Yangyang's capacity to bear it."

Jiang Motian blinked, then looked toward the exit of the banquet hall.

There, Wei Yangyang's figure could no longer be seen.

But Jiang Motian still remembered the sense of bitterness that figure had exuded.

Hmm...

"No, if it were really an overload, Yangyang would feel exhausted, rather than showing a kind of... such complex emotion!"

Since it was not because of herself, then, was it because of someone else?

Jiang Motian fell into deep thought.

Her delicate brows knitted together once again.

Xie Wanyi could not bear to see that spot knit into a caterpillar.

He used his finger to press against Jiang Motian's brow center, then said, "Stop thinking about it; it's better to ask clearly the next time you meet."

"I do have to ask; then I'll go find Yangyang tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? You really are impatient."

Jiang Motian was indeed very impatient.

She wanted to know the answer too much.

It was just a pity...

When Jiang Motian went to the company to find Wei Yangyang the next day to have lunch together, Wei Yangyang already had plans.

A disappointed Jiang Motian had no choice but to go to the restaurant by herself.

But what she did not expect was that she actually saw Wei Yangyang here!

At this moment, Wei Yangyang was eating and chatting with a friend.

Judging from her expression, Wei Yangyang had already returned to normal.

When she laughed, her eyes were curved.

Jiang Motian observed silently for a while, then her eyes rolled around, and she had an idea in her heart!

Jiang Motian just kept waiting.

Not until Wei Yangyang's friend finished chatting with her and left first did Jiang Motian seize the opportunity to stand up and walk over.

"Excuse me, may I sit here?"

Wei Yangyang was organizing some documents on the tabletop.

Hearing the voice, she immediately looked up.

"Tiantian?!"

Jiang Motian sat down opposite Wei Yangyang with a smile and said, "We are truly fated; we ended up running into each other after all. Hmm, this can also count as having lunch with you."

Jiang Motian's words made Wei Yangyang feel very guilty.

She said, "Another day, I will ask you out."

"It's nothing, I don't mind this."

As Jiang Motian spoke, she glanced at the documents in Wei Yangyang's hands.

She looked at them for another two seconds, then asked, "Are you going to participate in a design competition?"

"Yes, actually I wanted to try it for a long time, but before, I felt that this kind of competition was too far away from me, and that I wouldn't succeed even if I participated."

"Then what about now?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
