Chapter 257: Not a Child Again

In the evening, the Shen family villa.

When Shen Molin came home from work, she found Li Wanwan busy in the kitchen.

In the past month, Li Wanwan would come to Shen's house at least three times a week to cook dinner.

To be honest, Li Wanwan's cooking skills are getting better and better, and she is slowly getting used to eating, and for Li Wanwan, the future sister-in-law, she also slowly dislikes and doesn't want to accept it, but now she is slowly adapting to it, and trying to accept it.

However, in the past month, Shen Molin has become more and more unable to understand Shen Tingnan's thoughts.

In fact, Li Wanwan is a very open woman, every time she comes to the Shen family, her purpose is obvious, that is, she wants to spend the night in the Shen family, or to put it more directly, she just wants to sleep with Shen Tingnan, and wants their relationship to be stronger.

However, Shen Tingnan pretended to be stupid every time, and he could always have all kinds of reasons and excuses to send Li Wanwan away.

Although Shen Molin doesn't like Li Wanwan very much, she is not blind, she can see that Li Wanwan does like Shen Tingnan, and in the past month, she has also changed a lot for Shen Tingnan, becoming more and more gentle and virtuous, and she is also indescribably considerate of her, the future sister-in-law.

But after a month, Shen Tingnan's feelings for Li Wanwan have not changed much. Still maintain that polite attitude.

After going to the kitchen to say hello to Li Wanwan, Shen Molin went upstairs to change her clothes, and she was very uncomfortable at home wearing a formal dress when she went to work, so when she got home, the first thing she did was to change her clothes and put on a comfortable home clothes.

When she changed her clothes and was about to go downstairs, her mobile phone suddenly rang, and she took it out and saw that it was Shen Tingnan calling.

"Hey, brother. “

"I have something to work overtime tonight, and I'll go back late, so you can have dinner by yourself, don't wait for me." On the other end of the phone, Shen Tingnan sat at the desk, looking down at the documents, holding the phone and saying to Shen Molin.

"Overtime!" Shen Molin was a little surprised, "Then why don't you tell Li Wanwan that she is cooking in the kitchen." “

"She's gone home?!" Obviously, Shen Tingnan didn't know, because Li Wanwan hadn't looked for him for four days.

Of course, Li Wanwan didn't look for him, and he didn't take the initiative to contact Li Wanwan, and he never seemed to care about Li Wanwan's whereabouts.

"Yes, you don't know, do you?" Shen Molin was even more surprised.

"He didn't tell me. On the other end of the phone, he seemed to be a little tired, Shen Tingnan leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and pressed his somewhat tired eyebrows, and said, "I know." I called her and told her. “

When the words fell, Shen Tingnan hung up the phone directly, and then turned out Li Wanwan's number and called her.

To be honest, it has been more than a month since he was officially dating Li Wanwan, but with Li Wanwan, he has no feeling of being in love at all, as if he is with Shen Molin's sister, but that feeling is not a sister, between a girlfriend and a sister, there may be more feelings, it is an ordinary friend, the kind of ordinary friend who doesn't call at all. Even if Li Wanwan took the initiative to kiss him, kiss him, and entangled him physically, he didn't have any thoughts about Li Wanwan.

He also wanted to work hard, trying to find out from Li Wanwan's body the feeling of surpassing ordinary friends, but he found it difficult.

He knew that Li Wanwan was forcibly changing herself for him, but Li Wanwan's forcible change was inexplicable and made him feel even more depressed, because Li Wanwan, who was forcibly going to change, was no longer like that Li Wanwan.

"Hey, Tingnan, when are you going to get home?" Soon, the phone was connected, and Li Wanwan's cheerful voice as usual came.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry, there are a lot of things today, I may go back late, you and Merlin can eat first, don't wait for me. Leaning back in the chair, Shen Tingnan closed his eyes tiredly and said, although the feeling of speaking to Li Wanwan was gentle and intimate, but it was like the kind of gentle intimacy to Shen Molin, not like a couple.

"Ah, you're going to work overtime!" As soon as Li Wanwan heard this, her entire delicate little face instantly stepped down, but in the next second, she immediately smiled again, and said as if she had changed into a different person, "Heh....... It's okay, work matters, you're busy, I'll wait for you to come back. “

"Wanwan, I don't know when I'll be able to finish my work, or don't wait for me, go back to rest after eating with Mo Lin!" The handsome eyebrows twisted slightly, and Shen Tingnan said softly.

"Huh....... I'm fine, you're busy, leave me alone, hang up. I was afraid that Shen Tingnan would continue to let herself go back, so in a hurry, Li Wanwan hung up the phone.

Listening to the blind sound of "doodoo" from the mobile phone, Shen Tingnan's eyebrows tightened.

Yesterday afternoon, Li Jiangxiong took the initiative to call him, and between the words, he was already asking him when he planned to get married with Li Wanwan.

He didn't answer positively at the time, but now that things have developed to this point, is it still possible for him to say "no" to Li Jiangxiong?

Marrying Li Wanwan, he really doesn't lose at all, but if he really marries Li Wanwan, maybe he will never have any passion in his life again.

He can be good to Li Wanwan, can respect her, and can respect her like a guest, but from her, Shen Tingnan has never found the feeling of wanting to possess.

Deeply, Shen Tingnan took a deep breath, put aside the things in his mind that made him feel depressed and even irritable, and he continued to work.

It's just that at the moment when he lowered his head to read the documents, his mind came to mind when he had acute appendicitis that night, Hua Wen was guarding him in the hospital, with low eyebrows and a light smile, and at the home of Jiang Nian and Lu Fengze in Calgary, she burst into tears when she woke up from a nightmare late at night, her eyes full of fear and sadness.

In fact, the current Chinese is just like Jiang Nian back then, indifferent and strong on the outside, but soft and sad on the inside, which makes people feel distressed.

Thinking about the Chinese language, thinking about it since I met. The two of them got along together, and Shen Tingnan could no longer calm down and work, and he didn't finish reading a page of the documents in his hand for more than ten or twenty minutes.

Somewhat irritated, he simply tossed the papers aside, then pushed away the chair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Before he knew it, the window was already dark, and the bright lights of the city began to shine.

Instead of staying in the office and doing nothing, find a place to relax and unwind.

For so many years, he has been working hard to move forward, and he doesn't dare to slack off, but after so many years, no matter how tired and hard the work is, he has never felt so tired as he is at this moment.

It's not physical exhaustion, it's mental exhaustion.

In this life, apart from his parents, he never thought about who he would rely on and who he would rely on.

However, now a father and daughter Li Jiangxiong and Li Wanwan suddenly appeared, and in the eyes of outsiders, they became his dependence and dependence.

Scold.......

It's kind of ridiculous!

"Knock knock ......." At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in. Without looking back, Shen listened to Nan's orders.

Looking at Shen Tingnan, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his figure was indescribably lonely, Shen Tingnan's assistant An Han frowned lightly and walked over, "Mr. Shen, this is the detailed planning book of the S City project." “

Shen Tingnan turned around and took the folder in An Han's hand, but he didn't open it, just walked to the desk, threw the folder on the desk, and then closed the laptop with a "snap", lifted his eyes to An Han and asked, "Do you have an appointment at night, if you don't have an appointment, accompany me to have a drink?"

An Han was Jiang Nian's classmate when he was an exchange student in Ba Li, and when Jiang Nian left the Shen family, he introduced An Han to him.

To be honest, in the five years since Jiang Nian disappeared, An Han has helped him a lot, whether as an assistant or a friend.

An Han looked at Shen Tingnan and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

has been with Shen Tingnan for more than six years, and he has hardly seen him indulge, but now, he actually took the initiative to ask her for a drink.

However, just having a drink doesn't mean it's indulgent.

"Okay, always accompanied!"

Shen Tingnan smiled, took the car keys, and left directly, An Han followed.

.......

Shen Tingnan drove by himself, An Han sat in the co-pilot, and went to the liveliest and most luxurious bar in Dongning.

When he arrived at the bar, Shen Tingnan directly asked for a bottle of whiskey, then filled it for An Han and himself, and took a sip of it with his head up.

The best foreign wine crossed the throat, passed through the esophagus, and entered the stomach, and the stimulation of alcohol made Shen Tingnan begin to relax.

"I see you've not been in a good mood lately, why?" Looking at Shen Tingnan, An Han just took a glass of wine, didn't drink a sip, and asked him with a frown.

I had seen Shen Tingnan drink like this before, but that was six years ago, when Jiang Nian had just disappeared, for Jiang Nian, he had also been completely drunk twice, but after those two times, An Han had never seen Shen Tingnan drunk.

Could it be that today we are going to see the situation again six years ago?

"What do you say?" poured another glass of wine, Shen Tingnan took a sip, twisted his eyebrows and did not answer the rhetorical question.

An Han looked at him and smiled, "It won't be because of Miss Li, right?"

"Do you think I and Li Wanwan are suitable?" While pouring himself wine, Shen Tingnan asked again.

It was the first time he had asked someone this question.

From Jiang Nian's accident to the present. For more than six years, An Han is the person who has spent the most time with him for the longest time, and he regards An Han as a subordinate and a friend.

An Han raised the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and laughed, "Mr. Shen, I don't think you and Li Wanwan are suitable, and I am the most suitable, do you believe it?"

Shen Tingnan glanced at her, then raised his head and poured a small cup, "Don't talk nonsense, don't you have a boyfriend?"

An Han raised his eyebrows, but said very honestly, "Yes, I have a boyfriend, but it's not because I have no hope with you that I found another man." “

She did like Shen Tingnan at the beginning, and she expressed it openly and secretly, but Shen Tingnan's response was very simple, just treating her as a subordinate and friend.

After getting along for a long time, An Han also knew that Shen Tingnan could not have any other feelings for herself except for her subordinates and friends, so she knew the reality, learned to give up, and slowly accepted other men.

Shen Tingnan looked at An Han, poured a small glass of wine, then touched her wine glass, drank it all again, and did not speak.

"Actually, Mr. Shen, you and Miss Li are quite suitable, at least Miss Li really likes you, and Li Dong is also very optimistic about you, the future son-in-law, otherwise, Li Dong would not be so fully committed to supporting you. Seeing that Shen Tingnan didn't speak, An Han continued to speak, seeking truth from facts.

"Even you think, should I marry Li Wanwan?" Squinting at An Han, Shen Tingnan's deep eyes became a little confused under the stimulation of alcohol.

Looking at him, An Han smiled, "Mr. Shen, being a man always has losses before gains, for the sake of his career, sacrifice his personal feelings, as a businessman, there is nothing to blame!"

"Well, you're right. Shen Tingnan continued to raise his glass, took a small cup and took a sip, nodded and said, "There are gains and losses, how can you have the best of both worlds." “

At this moment, An Han's mobile phone number came up, she took it out and saw that it was her boyfriend calling, she didn't plan to pay attention to it, but Shen Tingnan patted her shoulder and said, "Go answer the phone." “

An Han glanced at Shen Tingnan, nodded, and then went to find a quiet place to answer the phone.

After two minutes, she returned to her position and looked at Shen Tingnan and said apologetically. "Mr. Shen, my boyfriend ......."

"Is there an emergency, then you can go first, don't worry about me. Seeing An Han's embarrassed face, he stopped talking, Shen Tingnan smiled and took the lead in speaking.

"My boyfriend was in a car accident and hurt his leg, and I have to go see it. An Han explained.

Shen Tingnan nodded, "Well, let's go quickly." “

"Then I'll call the driver to pick you up. "An Han is not at ease.

"Heh......." Shen Tingnan laughed, "I'm a big man, what are you worried about, hurry up, your boyfriend is more important." “

Looking at him, An Han thought for a while, and then nodded. Hesitant to leave.

When An Han left, seeing that there were no women by Shen Tingnan's side, all kinds of women rushed towards Shen Tingnan one after another, using various means to provoke him.

However, Shen Tingnan didn't even look at these warblers and Yanyan, and his mobile phone kept ringing in his pocket, but he just drank his own wine as if he didn't feel it at all, and when a bottle of whiskey was about to bottom out, finally, a drunkenness came up.

A little confused, he took out his mobile phone, Qi Neng did not answer the phone, and four calls were made by Li Wanwan.

Li Wanwan should still be waiting for him at the Shen family, waiting for him to go back.

In fact, after dating for a month, what Li Wanwan's thoughts were, Shen Tingnan knew very well, but he had no desire to touch her at all.

Tonight, it was the same, Li Wanwan definitely wanted to stay at the Shen family for the night, but he didn't want to.

I don't know what I think, the ghost sent the gods, Shen Tingnan turned out the Chinese number and dialed it.

On the other end of the phone, Hua Wen had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom, when she heard the phone ringing, she took it and took a look, and when she saw the caller ID jumping on it, her breath couldn't help but suffocate slightly.

I haven't seen you for a month, and I haven't had any contact at all for a month. Huawen thought that he was about to forget Shen Tingnan, and he could no longer care about him.

However, at this moment, feeling the breath he had missed, Hua Wen realized that he was wrong.

"Hey, Mr. Shen, is there something wrong?" The phone was connected, and immediately, the noisy voice in the bar came immediately, Hua Wen frowned, and the voice of his mouth was unusually calm and formulaic.

"Huawen, I'm alone in XX Bar, I'm so bored, come and have a drink with me, how about it?" Shen Tingnan was a little drunk, and his mind was also half sober and half confused.

--Alone at the bar.

Hua Wen frowned and looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, it's not early, I don't plan to go out. After a moment of silence, Hua Wen directly refused.

"Huawen, aren't we friends, can't friends even have a drink with each other?" Shen listened to Nan's voice, and suddenly there was a touch of humility and pleading.

"I'll tell Mr. Jiang and let Mr. Jiang call you. When the words fell, Hua Wen hung up the phone directly.

She had already been sad and desperate once, and she didn't want the scar to be uncovered again, to hurt again.

"No need. Just when Hua Wen was about to hang up the phone. Shen Tingnan smiled again and said, "Don't tell Ah Nian, I'm not a child, let Ah Nian worry about what." “

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly, and then, asked for another bottle of whiskey.

On the other end of the phone, Hua Wen held the phone, listening to the blind sound of "doodoo" coming from inside, and suddenly felt that his chest was blocked as if it was a ball of cotton.

Shen Tingnan said that he was not a child anymore, so what should Jiang Nian worry about.

Since he didn't let Jiang Nian worry about it, what did he mean by calling her? Did he want her to worry about him?

Hua Wen closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and in the next second, she turned around directly and walked towards the cloakroom.

Hua Wen called the driver, and when he arrived at the bar where Shen Tingnan was, it was already nearly 40 minutes later.

I didn't care so much, as soon as the car stopped at the door of the bar, Hua Wen got out of the car and strode into the bar, and there was a rare eagerness in my heart, and even a little uneasy.

After entering the bar, Hua Wen looked around, and immediately found that on the edge of the bar, there were two sexy girls in scantily dressed clothes surrounding a man, and their hands were wandering restlessly on the man's body, while the man was lying on the bar, motionless, I don't know if he was drunk or what's wrong.

Guy, the Chinese language is a little hot.

She strode over, couldn't help but say, and pushed away one of the women who was almost sitting on Shen Tingnan's lap, and before the two women could speak, she said directly with anger on her face, "This is my man, who let you touch it!"

"Cut! Where is the, I don't look at the place when I go wild. The two women should be frequent customers in the bar, seeing Huawen's extremely unfamiliar face, they didn't have the slightest fear, and the woman who was pushed was even more arrogant, and immediately after standing firm, she was about to fight back and pounce towards Huawen.

Shen Tingnan, who was lying there and was still three or four minutes awake, heard the voice, raised his head, and when he saw Hua Wen in front of him at a glance, his blurry eyes immediately overflowed with great joy, and when the woman who was pushed by Hua Wen pounced on Hua Wen and wanted to do something to Hua Wen, Shen Tingnan reached out and grabbed the woman's arm, and then shook the woman away with a force.

The woman was caught off guard, staggered back a few steps and fell directly to the ground, and many people saw this scene, and they all cast a good look at them curiously.

Hua Wen looked at Shen Tingnan, who was obviously drunk, but at the moment, he looked so sober that he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Hey, why are you beating people, do you think we are ....... "easy to bully"?

"Which of your hands touched me just now?" Just before the other woman's shouting voice fell, Shen Tingnan swept over with a cold knife eye, and spoke in a cold and deep voice.

The woman looked at him. I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, but I still shouted hard, "The old lady touches you to look up to you, who do you think you are!"

"That's it, don't come out to play if you can't afford it. The woman who had fallen got up and continued to scream.

Looking at the two clown-like women in front of him, Shen Tingnan was really too lazy to waste time with them, so he directly grabbed Huawen's hand beside him, looked at her and instantly became gentle and said, "Huawen, let's go." “

Looking at him, stunned, Hua Wen was forced by him and left.

"I pushed someone and wanted to leave, no way, and lost money. At least 50,000 yuan!" Seeing that they were leaving, the woman who was pushed immediately rushed over and stopped in front of them.

"Yes, if you don't accompany me, I'll call someone now. Another woman followed and stopped in front of them and shouted.

Squinting at the two clown-like women in front of him, Shen Tingnan hooked his lips and laughed, and said in a lower and lower voice, "Fifty thousand yuan, just the two of you, it's worth it?!"

obviously drank so much, obviously everyone thought he was drunk just now and didn't wake up to the world, but at this moment, he didn't seem to be drunk.

"Don't talk nonsense to him, go call someone. Seeing that Shen Tingnan didn't intend to give money at all, one of the women said to the other.

The other woman nodded and immediately went to call someone.

Shen Tingnan squinted at the two of them and sneered. didn't bother to pay attention to them, and directly pulled Hua Wen and strode away again.

"Why, I'm afraid! I'll give money if I'm afraid. Immediately, the woman rushed again and stopped in front of them.

"I pushed it first, 50,000 yuan, I will give it. With that, Huawen broke free from Shen Tingnan's big palm and wanted to go to the bag to get the mobile phone to pay the woman.

She didn't want to get into trouble, and the key thing was that she didn't want to make trouble for Shen Tingnan.

"Chinese. However, immediately, Shen Tingnan went to hold her hand again, stopped her, and looked at her extremely gentle and almost pleading, "Leave it to me to deal with." Okay?"

As he spoke, Shen Tingnan took out his mobile phone, found a number and dialed it.

The woman looked at them, not knowing what they wanted to do, and did not dare to move.

Soon, another woman called a few thugs over, pointed at Shen Tingnan and Huawen and said to a few thugs, "It's the two of them, call me." “

A few thugs didn't recognize who Shen Tingnan was for a while, so they didn't want to punch and kick Shen Tingnan.

Looking at the fists and kicks of a few thugs, Shen Tingnan protected Hua Wen, then raised his leg and kicked one away, then two, three, and several thugs didn't even have a chance to get close to him.

When everyone was watching the excitement, the bar manager ran over with a few security guards, and saw a few gangsters who were still doing something to Shen Tingnan, the manager quickly asked the security guards to hold them down, and then ran to Shen Tingnan's head and said, "Mr. Shen, I don't know that you are here today, the service is not good, and you were defeated by a few bastards Yaxing, I really can't help it, I really damn it, you don't remember the villain, sit down again, I will let people come over to pay tribute to Mr. Shen for a few drinks, and you will accompany you." “

"Get these guys out of the bar, I don't want to see them next time. Glaring at the bar manager, Shen listened to Nan Shenshen's command, and then, led Huawen and continued to stride away.

"Yes, yes, yes, welcome Mr. Shen next time. Hurry up, the manager nodded, followed behind, and sent Shen Tingnan and them out.

Out of the bar, the driver was still waiting at the door, Hua Wen glanced at Shen Tingnan, who still held him tightly and didn't seem to be very drunk, and pulled out his hand to pull the car door.

However, before she withdrew her hand, she was grabbed by the man's hot palm.

"I don't have a driver, you send me!"

Hua Wen turned his head sideways and was looking at the man next to him with some anger, but Shen Tingnan's misty eyes looked at her fixedly, and muttered in a low voice.

was so caught off guard, her eyes fell into Shen Tingnan's blurry and flickering eyes, Hua Wen breathed a little, frowned, and thought that if something happened to Shen Tingnan, she would not be able to explain to Jiang Nian, so she staggered her eyes intertwined with Shen Tingnan, and said lightly, "Get in the car." “

"Good. Shen Tingnan smiled and hurriedly got into the car obediently.

.......
