"As long as it’s her, no matter what identity, as long as she stays by his side, he accepts both proximity and distance.
If she wanted to be Xia Wanwan, his wife would be called Xia Wanwan; if she wanted to be Xia Wan’an, his wife would be Xia Wan’an.
In short, one thing was clear, she could not even think about running away from him, not only in her next life but also in the life after next!"
...
Xia Wan’an woke naturally at one in the afternoon after sleeping in.
Feeling not quite refreshed, she turned over, lifted her hand to gently wipe away the trace of saliva at the corner of her mouth, and wanted to continue sleeping. However, after wiping her mouth and slightly opening her eyelids, she caught sight of the brilliant midday sunshine and suddenly rembered... Today was the day Han Jingnian was discharged from the hospital, scheduled for eight in the morning... He seed to have ntioned sothing about a eting at 8:30 am when he called yesterday.
This sunlight was definitely that of the afternoon...
In an instant, Xia Wan’an’s sleepiness was completely dispelled, and she sat up abruptly, "What ti is it?"
Han Jingnian’s clear and pleasant voice steadily entered her ears: "One fifteen and thirty-seven seconds."
A standard Han Jingnian-style answer, precise to the second.
Xia Wan’an thought to herself and turned to look at the source of the voice.
A man dressed in a black suit, elegantly seated on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other, was tapping away at the laptop on his lap with nimble fingers.
The afternoon sun illuminated behind him, outlining a golden edge around his figure.
The slightly opened window let in a gentle spring breeze, carrying the scent of flowers from below and making his hair sway gently.
This scene was like that iconic mont when the male lead makes an entrance in an ani...
Xia Wan’an was montarily captivated.
Under her unwavering gaze, the sound of Han Jingnian typing on the keyboard got softer and slower, until at last, with barely-veiled reluctance, he raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose to hide the flash of helplessness in his eyes before speaking out again: "It’s now one twenty-three and eighteen seconds."
Xia Wan’an snapped back to reality, realizing her lapse, she "Oh Oh" twice, and then with a slightly reddened face, she tossed aside the blanket and ran into the bathroom to freshen up.
The hospital discharge procedures had already been completed, and once Xia Wan’an was ready, Han Jingnian packed up his computer, and they headed downstairs together.
Xia Wan’an’s decision to stay was a spontaneous one, but her purpose this ti was to investigate who had drugged her. To look into it, she must get close to Han Jingnian... but right now, she seed to have no excuse to get close to him...
As Han Jingnian drove Xia Wan’an to the Four Seasons Hotel, she was wracking her brain for a way to stay by his side. Just when her head started to ache from the effort, Han Jingnian’s phone rang. It was Secretary Sun calling to ask when he would arrive at the company.
Xia Wan’an seized the mont to speak out, "Mr. Han, if there’s an ergency at the company, you should go first. It won’t matter if you take to the Four Seasons Hotel later."
Upon hearing her words, Han Jingnian, who was about to ask Secretary Sun to wait a bit longer, changed his reply to: "Five minutes."
The driver, hearing this, wisely turned the car towards the Han Family corporation.
Han Jingnian went to the eting, and Xia Wan’an found an excuse to go sit in a nearby cafe, splitting up from Han Jingnian for the ti being.
When Xia Wan’an got out of the car, she purposefully took only her phone. She waited for the driver and Han Jingnian to enter the elevator before doubling back to Han Jingnian’s car.
She walked around the vehicle, then peered through the window to study the bag she left on the back seat for a mont before leaving the underground parking garage.
Ten minutes later, Xia Wan’an had changed into a different set of clothes and covered herself with a hat and mask, making her way back to Han Jingnian’s car, thoroughly disguised.
Once she made sure nobody was around, she pulled out a hamr from her loose clothing.
She swung at the car window with a "clang," but the window remained intact...
...
At this mont, the security departnt of the Han Family company had already monitored this scene.
Soone ca to the underground parking lot of the Han Family company to smash President Han’s car...
The security departnt erupted into chaos, and just as they were preparing to send soone downstairs to catch Xia Wan’an, the bodyguard cum driver who had brought Han Jingnian and Xia Wan’an from the hospital to the company identified the person smashing the car window through the security monitor by the bracelet on their wrist.
Wasn’t that... the woman President Han had been about to take to the Four Seasons Hotel?
The driver, recognizing the person who was smashing the car, urgently stopped everyone from rushing downstairs, pulled out his phone, and called President Han.
...
In the midst of the eting, Han Jingnian felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out, glanced at it, cut the call, but then the phone rang again. He answered, listened to the driver’s description of the situation, and Han Jingnian’s eyes revealed a fleeting look of amusent. However, he quickly spoke, "Pretend we don’t know who she is, let her be."
After saying this, Han Jingnian lowered his phone from his ear, about to press the end call button, when it suddenly seed as if he had comprehended sothing, he lifted the phone back to his ear: "Send a new guard, ard but discreet, to help her smash the window in the underground parking lot."
He paused, then added, "After breaking the window, when leaving, rember to steal sothing random, and make it look convincing."
...
In the security room, the driver hung up the phone one second before, and the next second several people imdiately asked out aloud, "What did President Han say?"
