Lin Lu couldn’t understand that Ben Shaming’s gaze wasn’t admiration, but rather vigilance and observation. In the university campus, any glance between the opposite sexes was imbued with a pink romantic aning.
These words made Yan Jian shudder inexplicably.
So it wasn’t just her own assumption; others also saw him staring at her?
She knew she should take the initiative to understand the cool and detached man better.
.
The passage of ti in M Country seed calm and unnoticed, yet Jamie and the Tang Family held their breath, waiting for news from the Asia side.
Finally, Tang Yan Xi sent word back that Jieyou had been successfully rescued, but Shi Nian had suddenly disappeared in the process.
At that ti, Shi Nian was dragged into the basent by George who had appeared suddenly. Tang Yan Xi’s side also suspected that it was George’s doing. However, out of concern for Shi Nian’s safety, they urgently needed to gather intelligence on George’s side.
Tang Yan Yi received the news and imdiately convened with Guan Liang and others to find clues around George.
When Yan Jian heard this news, she was quietly eating an apple.
She silently finished the apple, then rose to bid her family farewell and returned to her room.
Fortunately, the whole family was too preoccupied to notice her, so her actions did not attract their attention.
She returned to her room, took out her phone, and dialed Jamie’s number.
"...Do you have ti? I can’t wait to spend the third night with you."
.
Jamie stared at the phone, experiencing multiple internal struggles in an instant.
Objectively, he didn’t have ti to see her right now.
Matters at the company and in Asia left him no ti for distractions.
However...
He took a breath: "Tang Yanjian, eting up isn’t an issue, but you’d better clarify in advance what kind of sche you’re planning this ti."
He wasn’t foolish enough to believe she genuinely wanted to see him. Since she chose this timing, it was solely for her brother’s sake.
Yet, despite understanding her intentions, he still wanted to hear it from her own lips.
He couldn’t help but hope maybe he was wrong, maybe she genuinely just wanted to see him?
.
That man was like a wolf accustod to watching her from the darkness; she knew that trickery wouldn’t work this ti.
She took a deep breath: "Alright, I’ll be clear this ti. I’ll accompany you... if you’re satisfied, then tell George’s plan."
Jamie burst into loud laughter upon hearing this: "Tang Yanjian, are you crazy? No matter what, George is still my biological brother. Do you think you hold enough weight in my heart to rival him?"
Tang Yanjian felt as if she had been slapped in the face.
Yes, what was she thinking? How could she be naive enough to believe she could use herself to negotiate?
She lowered her eyes sadly: "Is that so? I thought you treated him as a biological brother. I’ve read a lot in the dia about you two brothers feuding over the Fude Group."
Jamie chuckled coldly: "That’s true, but work is work, and blood is blood. It’s innate and unbreakable. You’re willing to do this for your brother also because of blood; then why should I betray my own brother?"
Holding the phone, he looked out at the gray sky.
Tang Yanjian, do you dare to believe you hold such importance in my heart?
If you dare, then so do I; but if you don’t, why should I go to such lengths for you?
Tang Yanjian took a deep breath until her chest ached.
Ultimately, she gave up.
Why should she believe a man who treats her like that would think she’s important?
She let out a bitter laugh: "Alright, forget it, pretend I never said anything."
Ending the call, she hung her head low, blaming herself for being useless.
Why couldn’t she learn to be a little more calculating, why couldn’t she be thick-skinned enough to deceive him?
But ti wouldn’t allow her to continue feeling sad. She then lifted her head and dialed Luo Xiansheng’s number.
She had visited that Asian country with Luo Xiansheng before. Although Luo Xiansheng wasn’t very familiar with it, his boldness and cautiousness, along with his feelings for his eldest sister, allowed him to follow in her footsteps, slowly building connections and trust with those who once cooperated with her.
She witnessed those locals slowly showing smiles and shaking his hand, moving past their initial wariness towards Little Sound.
So maybe Little Sound could help her brother!
.
After the phone call was cut off, Jamie stared at his phone, unable to calm his thoughts.
He called back repeatedly, only to hear a busy signal every ti.
He had no idea what drove him to persist, but he kept dialing her number, continuously t with the sa busy tone.
Glancing at his watch, he realized half an hour had passed.
Who else could she be talking to for half an hour after cutting him off, without even getting bored?!
