Chapter 306 Confidence
After not seeing Xie Yansheng for more than a month, Wen Lan's heart trembled when she heard his voice again.
She held her phone and hid in the empty stairwell, and said "hmm" softly.
"When will you return to Shuyuan Mansion?" Xie Yansheng's tone was rare and serious.
She remembered the unpleasantness of the last night in Jiangcheng, and said coldly: "I'm staying at the show tonight and I'm not going back!"
"Then I'll go to the show to find you." Xie Yansheng's voice was firm, without any room for easing.
"Don't!" She didn't want to be seen getting too close to Xie Yansheng, so she hurriedly came up with a delaying tactic, "I'll go back around half past ten."
"Okay. I'll wait for you." Xie Yansheng's voice was deep, and he ended the call after he finished speaking.
Since Xie Yansheng would go to "Shuyuan Mansion", she didn't plan to go back at night.
Just find a hotel nearby to stay overnight.
Xie Yansheng knew that she had returned to Jiangcheng, and others must have known it too.
If someone takes photos or videos of the two of them together again, her peaceful life will never be peaceful again.
Although she often has physical impulses every time she hears Xie Yansheng's low and seductive voice, after careful consideration, she decides to stay away from this man full of right and wrong.
Because she can't afford to offend An Zhen, nor can she afford to offend Xie's father and mother.
When leaving the show, Wen Lan deliberately looked at her watch, it was just past ten o'clock.
After a busy day, she was exhausted and walked to a convenient hotel opposite to check in.
After half past ten, Xie Yansheng's calls and messages bombarded her one after another, but she ignored them and turned her phone to silent.
The night passed like this.
When she got up in the morning, it was just dawn. Wen Lan found a breakfast shop nearby to fill her stomach, and then hurried to the show.
She thought about doing more to share some of Zhou Qiao's burden.
Because the scheduled time was eight o'clock, when Wen Lan arrived, there were only security guards and cleaners, and no one else had shown up.
She found a seat under the stands, picked up the thick show program and read it, marking the places that needed to be adjusted with a red pen.
When she heard the familiar footsteps coming from behind her, she realized that Xie Yansheng was here!
She was slightly stunned, pretending not to know, and continued to be busy with the work at hand.
"I waited for you all night in the 'Shuyuan Mansion'. I called you but you didn't answer, and I sent you messages but you didn't reply." Xie Yansheng had sat on her right side, and his eyes fixed on her were burning and helpless.
"Do you think that with just one call, I will go back to Shuyuan Mansion, wash up and wait for you to sleep?" She glanced at Xie Yansheng sarcastically, and her voice was very low, "I really don't know where you get your confidence from!"
"I'm always confident." Xie Yansheng said, and Qingjun's face came towards her.
She hurried to hide, but Xie Yansheng's thin lips still brushed her right cheek!
"Xie Yansheng! This is a public place, you should pay attention to the impact!" She was so angry that she raised her right foot and stepped hard on Xie Yansheng's leather shoes.
Xie Yansheng frowned slightly, and his left arm was stretched out, and he circled her waist and pulled her hard!
Her upper body hit Xie Yansheng's chest with a "bang"!
The strong smell of tobacco mixed with the unforgettable man's breath, at this moment, her brain crashed directly.
When Xie Yansheng's hand passed through her coat and sweater, she immediately woke up, stood up in shame and anger, and stepped back to the left to keep a certain distance from Xie Yansheng.
"Xie Yansheng, get out now! You are shameless, I still want it!" She scolded in a low voice.
Although there were only a few security guards and cleaners chatting at the door of the huge show, people's words were scary, and she didn't want to be taken out of context and made an article again.
"Wen Lan, I only want you." Xie Yansheng stared at her, his eyes were terribly deep, "As long as you are willing to wait for me, I will give you the title of Mrs. Xie again. Do you want it or not? Just tell me the truth."
"I don't want it, and I can't afford it!" Wen Lan quickly thought of the grievances she suffered when she was Mrs. Xie, and her heart hardened immediately, "It's enough to be Mrs. Xie once in this life."
Xie Yansheng's eyes were still on her, and his bony hands tightly grasped the chair quilt, wanting to say something but stopping.
"From now on, don't bother me again! If you really have too much time to use, you might as well go back to accompany Mrs. Xie to give birth!" Wen Lan said, and went backstage without waiting for him to respond.
Xie Yansheng had a lot of words in his throat, and tried several times to chase after her, but reason quickly suppressed the impulse.
At this time, the more Wen Lan knew, the more troubles he would have.
Since he chose to walk this road alone, let him bear all the misunderstandings and pain.
In fact, he also knew that getting close to Wen Lan would only bring trouble to Wen Lan, but the longing in his heart was like a little insect gnawing at his heart day and night.
He could suppress the urge to go to Lincheng to see Wen Lan, but as long as he heard that Wen Lan came to his city, all his self-restraint was thrown out of his mind.
Perhaps, it was time for him and Wen Lan to cool down again.
He did not stay any longer and turned to leave.
The time when Wen Lan really got busy was after 8:30.
The year-end show will start at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. There will be two rehearsals today. Except for the three special guests, all the models will come to the show at 8 o'clock.
Zhou Qiao still had two sponsorship fees to negotiate. He only stood at the show for less than half an hour in the morning and left the show. All the big and small things were once again pressed on Wen Lan.
Near noon, Zhou Qiao came back and said dejectedly, "The two sponsorship fees that were originally agreed to were all gone. Old Jiang wanted to cover the bottom, but I refused."
Hearing Jiang Jingci's name, Wen Lan did not comment.
"Shen Yi has returned to Jiangcheng. I just met him outside." Zhou Qiao gossiped, "He is with a woman named Tao."
Wen Lan just said "Oh".
The last time I returned to Jiangcheng, Xie Yansheng said that Xie Jianning had given birth to a son for Shen Yi. Now when she heard the news about Shen Yi again, Wen Lan felt like an outsider.
"After Xie Jianning gave birth to the child, Mr. Xie severed the father-daughter relationship with her." Zhou Qiao sighed, "Xie Jianning is courageous to give birth to a child for a man who is impossible to be with, but I think she is stupid."
"She has given birth to the child, Shen Yi wouldn't know it, right?" Wen Lan asked curiously.
"How could he not know! Xie Jianning went to Gangcheng to find Shen Yi at the beginning, and it is said that there was a conflict." Zhou Qiao shrugged, "But I really can't figure it out-"
"Mr. Zhou, there is a lady named Tao Ningwan outside who wants to see you. She said she is going to be a sponsor for tomorrow's show." Sister Su hurried over and handed a business card to Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao took it and said disdainfully, "Her company is far away in Beijing, why is she doing anything in Jiangcheng?"
"She added me as a WeChat friend several times, but I rejected her. In Lincheng, she even rear-ended my car on purpose." Wen Lan didn't have any good feelings towards Tao Ningwan.
"Then let her go!" Zhou Qiao put the business card back in Sister Su's hand, "Go tell Ms. Tao that there are already enough sponsors for tomorrow's show, and we really can't leave a spot for her."
