Jing Yichen wasn’t moved. He casually said, “She has been busy lately. She doesn’t have time for that.”
He then disconnected the call. His parting words to Tang Yun were, “Remember what I said. Live your life and you will soon have your own family in the future.”
Tang Yun had already overheard Jing Yichen’s telephonic conversation. She knew that the person on the other side of the call, wasn’t Jing Yichen’s wife. Seeing him leave her, without a touch of hesitation, Tang Yun was extremely upset. She wasn’t going to let him get away from her so easily.
At the Family Jing villa, Jing Yiran sneaked out when the old lady was on the phone.
When Mo Lan discovered that he was missing, he was already out of bounds.
When Shangguan Ning finished with work and left the company, she caught sight of Jing Yiran dressed in a peach suit, holding onto a large bunch of roses, leaning against a brand-new Maserati.
He was a good-looking man, who attracted attention wherever he went. Even now, it was impossible to be unaffected by his charisma. A few women had already gathered where he stood, hoping to catch his eye. They all wondered enviously, who the object of his attention, was.
He smiled and waved at every girl who made eye contact with him. He even made flirtatious small talk with a few, every now and then. For one of them, he pulled out a flower from the bunch that he held, and gave it to her.
The girls giggled in excitement.
Seeing Shangguan Ning walk out of the building, Jing Yiran pulled his sunglasses to the bridge of his nose and whistled at her frivolously. He said menacingly, “Hey lovely. Care to join me tonight? The bunch of flowers, this car and I, will be at your service. Does that tempt you?”
Shangguan Ning ignored him directly and walked past by him as if she didn’t know him. Mi Xiaoxiao, who walked alongside Ning,asked her, “Shangguan, what is wrong with you? This hunk is staring at you and you are ignoring him ?”
Shangguan Ning continued walking and said, “Hunk? Where? I see no one.”
She didn’t speak softly, so Jing Yiran was able to hear it as well.
But Jing Yiran didn’t get annoyed. Instead, he smiled charmingly.
Mi Xiaoxiao almost passed out. She couldn’t believe how good looking this man was. She grabbed Shangguan Ning’s arms and said, “Oh God, this man is at par with the President in terms of his looks. He looks so tempting. Let’s just leave soon before I succumb to his charms.”
Shangguan Ning stared at Mi Xiaoxiao in astonishment. She was surprised by how right Mi Xiaoxiao’s instinct was.
Mi Xiaoxiao just seen him for the first time. She was taken away by his looks and demeanour, but even then she knew that must not stand around him for any longer.
Ning knew that Jing Yiran was a pervert. It was better to ignore him completely.
Shangguan Ning’s car had been sent for maintenance. Just as she was about to get into Mi Xiaoxiao’s car, Jing Yiran stood in the way of Shangguan Ning’s path.
“I’m not sure, it’s time for you to leave, just yet.”
He said it as he threw a look at Mi Xiaoxiao in the car. With his sexy lips, he spoke in an evil tone, “Ha, this girl looks sweet. Maybe we can talk about life someday.”
Fearing that Mi Xiaoxiao would interest him, Ning said instantly, “Xiaoxiao, you go first.”
Mi Xiaoxiao had enough experience when it came to men. She knew that Jing Yiran spelt trouble. Her instinct didn’t allow her to leave Ning all alone. She said, “No, Shangguan Ning, I’ll wait. Let’s go together.”
There were so many people around. He wouldn’t dare to mess with them.
Shangguan Ning wasn’t afraid of Jing Yiran. She was just worried about Mi Xiaoxiao and if he would cause her any harm.
She had to lie convincingly. “Don’t worry Xiaoxiao. We know each other well. I’ll be alright. Don’t worry.”
Mi Xiaoxiao didn’t believe her. This man didn’t give out a good vibe.
“Get in the car, Ning. I can’t leave you alone.”
Shangguan Ning was moved by her friend’s genuine concern. She and Mi Xiaoxiao had only been friends for a little more than a month. Although they had gossiped and joked around with each other, here she was willing to stand with her, in the time of need.
The more Shangguan Ning thought about Mi Xiaoxiao, the less she wanted to involve her in all this.
She thought for a moment and said, “Just leave. I have called my husband and he is on the way. Besides, I am fine and can take care of myself. Can I not?”
Mi Xiaoxiao drove away reluctantly.
As soon she left, Shangguan Ning’s smile disappeared.
Jing Yiran dumped the bunch of roses, into Shangguan Ning’s arms. “I’m so tired of holding them. No more roses for you next time.”
Shangguan Ning wanted to throw the roses back at him, but knew better than to do that. She didn’t want to instigate this monster any further. She warned him, “Your wound hasn’t healed yet. If you don’t want any more trouble, you’d better stay away from me.”
Jing Yiran said, mockingly “Very good. I like your attitude in the face of danger. That is what makes the kill, more exciting!”
Jing Yiraan turned towards Shangguan Ning and ran his fingers over the nape of her neck. He noticed that she had had a haircut. He wanted to feel her hair. It made her look so attractive. “I thought long hair suited you, but this haircut is just something else. I had never expected short hair to look so good on you. Tell me, what should I do? I like you more and more, every day.”
Shangguan Ning dislike for this man only increased by the minute.
He and Jing Yichen were brothers, but they couldn’t be more different. They had no similarities in appearance, nor did they take after each other in personality.
Jing Yiran tried to touch her repeatedly but Shangguan Ning managed to keep her distance.
He looked at her and sized her up. She was slim and tall. Her body hugging uniform only accentuated her curves. Her legs were shapely and held such promise. Jing Yiran couldn’t help imagining all the things he wanted to do to her. Her brown hair was in contrast with her fair skin. She looked so beautiful but Jing Yiran wasn’t new to this. He had seen many beautiful women before. Shangguan Ning wasn’t exceptionally good looking, but she wasn’t someone you could forget, either.
He got increasingly bolder as time went by. “Apparently you are married to each other. That doesn’t stop me. If anything, it makes you all the more intriguing to me. Tell me, if you were to ever betray him, would he be so devastated that he would kill himself?”
