Chapter 158 Jiang Wan is fired
Outside the door, Jiang Yubai stood frozen in place.
Inside the door, Shang Shixu deliberately made a commotion.
Jiang Wan was breathless from the kiss and wanted to make a sound, but she knew there were people outside the door.
A strong sense of shame forced her to endure it.
Shang Shixu, dissatisfied with her patience, loosened his grip and let her catch her breath.
But in my hands, it began...
Jiang Wan bit her lip tightly, her face flushed red.
The man bit her earlobe, rubbing it gently.
"good."
"shout out......"
He was like a devil, whispering seductive words in her ear.
The light was merely a temptation, and Jiang Wan could resist it.
But his behavior was very bold.
Jiang Wan's voice escaped uncontrollably from between her teeth.
Jiang Yubai could hear everything clearly, even though they were separated by just one door.
He stood there motionless, as if torturing himself.
He only turned around and went back to his room when Zhang Wei appeared in the corridor.
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut.
The sound of the door closing echoed into the room.
Even after knowing the person had left, Shang Shixu did not let go.
Their eyes met, each burning with their own emotions.
Shang Shixu's jealousy and anger had not subsided much.
Jiang Wan's initial repression did not disappear.
They looked at each other, each with their own desires, and it was a matter of who would compromise first.
But the eye contact didn't last long, as there was a new knock on the door, accompanied by Zhang Wei's voice.
"Wanwan, time to eat!"
Jiang Wan said in a hoarse voice, "You go first."
"Oh, then I'll wait for you in the restaurant downstairs."
The footsteps outside the door disappeared.
Jiang Wan looked back at Shang Shixu, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in a lukewarm tone.
"Put me down."
The business time sequence puts people down.
Jiang Wan opened her suitcase, took out clean clothes and underwear, and went into the bathroom to change.
She then poured cold water on her face to extinguish the burning sensation.
I stepped out of the restroom and looked at the person in the chair.
"I'm going downstairs to have some food now, and then I'll go to work with my colleagues."
"You can take a nap in your room, and we'll talk when I get back from work."
After he finished speaking, the man didn't respond.
Jiang Wan knew he had heard her, so she left with her bag on her back.
Her idea was simple: to communicate after both of them had calmed down.
No sooner had Jiang Wan left than Shang Shixu dialed Jiang Yubai's number.
"Where?"
"next door."
Shang Shixu hung up the phone and walked out of the room.
Arriving at the door next door, I raised my hand and knocked twice.
The door was opened quickly.
He didn't even look at the people inside, and went straight into the room.
Jiang Yubai closed the door and stood there.
"What do you want?"
Shang Shixu sat down on the sofa, his expression indifferent.
"I'm here to thank my cousin for bringing my girlfriend home last night."
Jiang Yubai: "...No need."
Shang Shixu fiddled with the phone in his palm, his tone indifferent.
"I know you don't interact with people often, so I'll get straight to the point."
"I have a strong possessive streak towards Jiang Wan. Even if she's my cousin, I don't want to see you getting too close to her."
"You know what I mean, right?"
Jiang Yubai blinked.
He turned to the side and leaned against the wall, his arms crossed in front of him.
"How do you know if we're close?"
"She's my assistant, you know that very well."
Shang Shixu: "Isn't that easy? Just fire her."
Jiang Yubai remained unmoved. "Jiang Wan is doing a very good job. I have no reason to fire her."
"Then I'll give you a reason."
The tone of the conversation was cold and deliberate.
"If you don't fire her, I'll turn my back on you. Is that a sufficient reason?"
His voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it felt like a nail driven into Jiang Yubai's chest.
He frowned and glanced sideways at the person on the sofa.
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, this is a well-intentioned notification."
"I don't like this kind of notification."
"It's not up to you."
A deathly silence fell over the room.
Jiang Yubai remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid that Jiang Wan will fall for me?"
Shang Shixu paused in his phone play, a mocking smile curving his lips.
You're overthinking it.
"Wanwan has someone better than me, why would she even look at you?"
Jiang Yubai:......
This was the first time he had ever wanted to punch someone so badly.
Jiang Yubai took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Since you're so confident, you have even less to worry about."
His deep voice echoed again from the sofa.
"How can I not worry? My darling is so charming."
Jiang Yubai clenched his fist.
"My feelings for Jiang Wan are merely those of a friend."
"I don't believe it."
He was met with a rebuttal in 0.1 seconds.
Jiang Yubai: "..."
Shang Shixu stood up, his tone cold.
"No matter what kind of appreciation it is, I won't accept it."
"Fire her after the art exhibition ends. Don't let me down."
"Otherwise, I won't give in even for my second uncle's sake."
The room door opened and then closed.
Jiang Yubai stood still, staring intently at the paving stone beneath his feet.
*
After a busy afternoon, Jiang Wan rushed back to the hotel without even having dinner.
After knocking on the door, I expected to see a cold, indifferent face.
Unexpectedly, the man remained calm.
He took off her bag and pressed her into a chair.
"Baby, are you tired?"
After he finished speaking, he massaged her sore shoulders.
Jiang Wan: [・_・?]
Is the effect of calming down for an afternoon really that significant?
"Brother, you're not angry anymore?"
"I'm not angry anymore."
Shang Shixu dared not be angry anymore; he had to behave well now.
A few days later, she learned that she had been fired from her job, and I hope she won't be too angry with me.
Jiang Wan had no idea what the man was planning, and simply assumed that he had figured it out.
Seeing how proactive he was, the tension that had been building up inside her all afternoon suddenly eased.
Jiang Wan turned around and reached out to hug the man's lean waist.
"elder brother."
"I promise this will never happen again."
Shang Shixu gently stroked the top of her head, thoroughly enjoying the tenderness of the moment.
"Okay, I believe you."
......
That evening, Shang Shixu changed hotel rooms.
The room was upgraded from a standard double room to a deluxe suite.
Jiang Wan had no objection to this.
The art exhibition officially began on the second day.
Jiang Yubai made a brief appearance, arranged a few follow-up tasks, and then disappeared.
Jiang Wan received a notification that he needed to find inspiration in Beicheng.
On the third day of the art exhibition, Shang Shixu returned to Haicheng early due to work.
Two days later, the art exhibition successfully concluded.
When the group returned, Jiang Yubai finally appeared in the group.
The plane landed at Haicheng Airport, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
After exiting the station, everyone carpooled home.
Jiang Wan's home is not in the city center, and it's not convenient for her to go anywhere else.
She took out her phone to call a car when Jiang Yubai suddenly spoke up.
"Wait, I have something to tell you."
Jiang Wan glanced at him sideways, "Okay, go ahead."
She listened attentively.
Jiang Yubai gripped the handle of the suitcase tightly, his voice barely audible.
"...You've been fired."
