Gao Lin never showed up again.
Xia Wan’an, who had thoroughly dealt with Gao Lin, really wanted to sleep. But she had to resist the urge to doze off, patiently waiting—waiting for a call from soone.
To prevent herself from accidentally falling asleep, Xia Wan’an deliberately spread her legs on the bed.
Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, fifteen minutes passed...
Xia Wan’an couldn’t help but frown.
Did she miscalculate? But, that should not be the case...
Just as this thought settled in Xia Wan’an’s mind, her phone screen lit up. It was a call from Ai Jiang.
This was exactly the call she had been waiting for!
Yet, while thinking so internally, Xia Wan’an didn’t rush to answer. Instead, she let the ringtone play for a while before finally picking up the call.
To make herself sound very sad, angry and upset, Xia Wan’an’s voice was sowhat low when she spoke, and she even choked a bit at the last word.
"What’s wrong? Ai... Jiang?"
"Wan’an, are you crying?" With Xia Wan’an’s words ending, a worried voice from Ai Jiang imdiately ca from the phone.
Xia Wan’an sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm. But when she opened her mouth, her voice was quieter, more aggrieved: "No...".
"Don’t be sad, Wan’an. I know everything about what happened in your departnt. I’m really worried about you, so I called you as soon as possible...".
"You know everything? Does that an everyone in our company is talking about it?" Xia Wan’an’s voice beca worried and helpless: "Will everyone think that I really seduced Director Gu? How will I go to the company on Monday?"
Who can’t play the innocent white lotus?
Xia Wan’an lightly patted her chest, disgusted by her own act, before continuing in a more delicate and aggrieved voice: "Ai Jiang, what should I do? I’m really scared. Do you think my colleagues will believe that I’m the kind of person Director Gu’s girlfriend described, who casually flirts with others’ boyfriends?"
"No, Wan’an, didn’t you say you were married in the group chat? You even ntioned that your husband is very rich, they should not particularly believe Director Gu’s girlfriend...".
"Really? Ai Jiang?"
"Really."
After hearing Ai Jiang’s assurance, Xia Wan’an tried to put on an assured deanor but with still so nervousness: "Ai Jiang, I’m still scared..."
"Wan’an, it’s okay, don’t be afraid. Whatever happens, I will be with you."
"Ai Jiang, you are so nice."
"We’re friends after all. You treat well, so of course, I have to treat you well... By the way, Wan’an, are you really married?"
"Hmm... Ai Jiang, you’re not upset, are you? I didn’t tell you about my wedding. In fact, not many people know about it. My father has poor health, there were so issues in our company, and I was forced into a marriage alliance. We didn’t publicly announce it... Ai Jiang, you won’t bla , will you?"
"I won’t, Wan’an. Why would I bla you?"
"Well, that’s good. I didn’t dare to tell you because I was afraid you’d be angry." Xia Wan’an assured Ai Jiang in a relieved tone, then her voice dropped again: "Ai Jiang, there’s sothing else, I’m really upset."
"What’s the matter, Wan’an?"
"I... I... I..." Xia Wan’an stamred before finally saying: "I need to tell you sothing, but after hearing it, pretend you don’t know it, okay? The reason why Director Gu’s fiancé made a scene is because Youman is behind it all."
