Chapter 242: Are you relieved?
Jiang Wan ignored him, turned down the volume, put the phone to his ear and whispered, "Okay, I got it, I'll be right down."
She hung up the phone quickly and didn't hear the middle of Shen Yan's question. She just looked up at Shao Lu'an and said, "I have something else to do and need to leave first. Calm down. Let's just pretend that what happened just now never happened."
After saying that, she leaned over and picked up the gift box again, ready to leave.
But just as she walked past him, her wrist was suddenly grabbed and pulled back, and the next second her lips were sealed again. The hot and humid breath made her lose the ability to breathe in an instant.
But this time there were no shackles. The sudden invasion made Jiang Wan unable to care about anything else. He raised his hand and slapped him.
A "pop" sound left a faint red mark on half of Shao Lu'an's face, causing him to suddenly stop moving.
After a long silence, he lowered his eyelids and looked at Jiang Wan's trembling eyes. Then he pulled the corners of his lips and uttered a few hoarse words: "Are you relieved?"
Jiang Wan's pupils shrank slightly, and she opened her lips, but before she could say anything, Shao Lu'an grabbed her wrist again, lowered her head, and put the other half of her face in her palm.
Her reflection filled his dark pupils. After staring at her for a few seconds, he said word by word, his throat rolling slightly, "If you're still not satisfied, just keep fighting."
"A kiss is worth any number of slaps."
Jiang Wan was speechless after being shocked, and his ears turned red. "Shao Lu'an, I think you are really crazy..."
Shao Lu'an didn't care at all. He stretched out his tall body and easily held her in his arms.
"Jiang Wan, you're not that cruel to me, right? Otherwise, why don't you continue to say those words."
Jiang Wan's breathing became tighter, and he struggled while retorting: "I don't have time to argue with you right now. If you want to hear it so much, then I'll finish it now..."
Shao Lu'an's eyes dimmed slightly, and he hugged her even tighter. He lowered his head and nuzzled the side of her neck with the tip of his nose. "It's no use for you to say it now. It doesn't count."
"As for what happened just now, to tell you the truth, I can't pretend it never happened."
His breathing was hot and heavy. Jiang Wan struggled in vain and was about to scold him for being unreasonable, but Shao Lu'an suddenly loosened his grip and raised his hand to press the elevator button while she was stunned.
"Okay, I'll be obedient. I promise you, I'll try to calm down for two days."
"Let's go."
If Shao Lu'an hadn't seen the gift in Jiang Wan's hand, he would have almost forgotten about the Shen family's old man's birthday party tonight. That was also the reason why Shao Ting moved up the flight ticket to return to Beijing with his aunt, which was originally scheduled for two days later, to today.
The Shao family and the Shen family don't have a very close relationship, so there's not much need for him to go with them.
And just as Shao Ting knew his temperament very well, he certainly understood Shao Ting as well.
As restrained as Shao Ting was, he was so ruthless to his cousin at that time. Naturally, his feelings for Jiang Wan had reached the point where he could not let go easily, and he could not tolerate any injustice in his eyes.
Thinking of what the two of them had mentioned on the phone just now, that they might meet tonight, Shao Lu'an just felt that since he didn't have any identity or qualifications to stop anything now, it would be fine for Jiang Wan to go to the Shen family.
I'm afraid Shao Ting never thought that he would meet Jiang Wan at the Shen family first.
It would be best if his cousin saw Jiang Wan and Shen Yan together. In addition to feeling disgusted, he should also use more ruthless means to eliminate Shen Yan's covetousness, just like he treated him before.
How the Shao family fights for it is one thing, but what other men are thinking about is another.
Shen Yan is just one of them. Shao Lu'an has not forgotten that there is another more troublesome person - the extremely cruel beast in human skin from the Ji family.

It was not until she walked out of the elevator and fixed her makeup that Jiang Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had to be thankful that Shao Lu'an parked his car in the underground garage of the community, so she went directly to the basement floor. Otherwise, she would have to consider what to do if Shao Lu'an bumped into Shen Yan at the gate of the community.
Shen Yan's car was parked next to the tree path outside the community. The elegant figure of the young man next to the car attracted the attention of passers-by, but because the aura around the man was too cold and even had a faint low pressure, they had no intention of getting close to him.
Jiang Wan knew that Shen Yan must have heard Shao Lu'an's voice. He hesitated for two seconds before walking over and said softly, "Sorry, Yan, I should have come down earlier."
The timing was originally perfect, but she did not expect the variable of Shao Lu'an.
Shen Yan stared at her face for two seconds, his eyes darkened a little, but he didn't say anything after all. He lowered his brows, opened the car door and let her get in first.
The dark grey car started slowly. Shen Yan took the steering wheel and turned it a little, pulling into the middle lane. Only then did he ask, "I've been quite busy these past few days and haven't been back to Peking University. Is everything going well for you at school?"
Jiang Wan arched his eyebrows slightly, "It's fine. At least I haven't encountered any problems in the past two days."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an unintentional follow-up question: "What about other aspects?"
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, unable to react, and turned to look at him, "What?"
They happened to hit a red light at that moment, and Shen Yan slowly stepped on the brakes, his sidelong glance slowly falling on her lips, which seemed to be no different from usual, but a closer look revealed that the redness and swelling had not yet subsided.
Certain images that came to his mind uncontrollably caused a sharp pain in his heart as if it were being pinched by a large hand, but he quickly suppressed these hidden emotions out of habit.
After two seconds of silence, he pursed his lips and repeated in a low voice: "Other aspects besides Kyoto University."
"Your body, and your mood."
He wanted to know if she was happy these days.
If she was happy, it at least meant that some things were really like what she said last time, she did voluntarily... or even intentionally.
This question rarely left Jiang Wan stunned.
She wanted to say that she was in good health and in a good mood.
But facing Shen Yan's quiet eyes, she suddenly couldn't utter some incomplete and perfunctory words.
Thinking carefully about this period of time, she was actually stuck in a swamp most of the time, and even had to verify and gamble all the time that every decision she made was really the one with the lowest cost relatively speaking under the circumstances at the time.
She seemed to have gained a lot, but she was still just a duckweed in the water, being pushed from beginning to end, rising and sinking in the increasingly narrow road ahead.
After a moment's silence, she lowered her thick eyelashes and replied softly, "I did catch a cold during the heavy rain in Beijing a few days ago, but I'm almost well now. As for my mood..."
She paused for half a second before continuing, "I can't say it's good, but I can't say it's bad either. It's just that most things are pretty much what I expected, so I'm not dissatisfied."
However, after he finished speaking, Jiang Wan didn't hear Shen Yan's reply for a long time.
She subconsciously glanced to the side, only to see that Shen Yan's eyes had grown so cold that it was impossible to discern his emotions, and he was staring at her without blinking... in the direction behind her.
