Chapter 17: The Heart
Shangguan Wanbai's fingers rested on the dark gray marble tabletop, and the white and soft fingertips were indescribably fragile.
Jian Maoxun is also a noble son in the upper circle, although he is impatient with women's gossip, he also knows something about this Mrs. Li.
He saw that her eyebrows were depressed, and even her eyes were dim, and he remembered that when he rescued her that day, a pair of fawn-like simple eyes were like firelight lighting the lamp in his heart, and his heart was inevitably concerned.
"Wanbai, is there anything sad about it?"
Shangguan Wanbai looked at him, his eyes crossed the shadow of sadness, even if he was in a bad mood, he didn't want to show it in front of outsiders, let alone this bit of discord between husband and wife.
She rubbed her eyebrows and pretended that nothing had happened, "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep last night, I have a headache." ”
Jian Maoxun's voice was warm, "Wanbai, if it's just a sleep problem, then I suggest that you smoke incense before going to bed, so that you can sleep more peacefully." ”
He paused and considered his tone: "If it's something else, I advise you to find someone to talk to, otherwise something will happen sooner or later if you press it in your heart." ”
Two consecutive sounds, even Vivian frowned, she naturally knew that Jian Maoxun's family background was definitely not lost to Li Zi'an, the Jian family was a century-old family in the capital, and it was huge and deep-rooted in the circle.
Jian Maoxun is the eldest son of the Jian family and the successor of the much-anticipated family, how can he talk to Mrs. Li so closely, and he doesn't know how to avoid suspicion.
With a lot of thoughts lingering in his heart, Shangguan Wanbai didn't notice the excessive kindness in Jian Maoxun's words at all, but felt that he was very gentlemanly, and couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
"Thank you, Mr. Jane," she curled the corners of her lips and smiled slightly, "I'm really fine, you don't have to worry." ”
As soon as Jian Maoxun saw Shangguan Wanbai's frowning eyebrows, she knew that she had pressed a heavy stone in her heart, which made her breathless.
It is rumored in the circle that her mother Shen Wanyao killed Mrs. Turner, and fled everywhere, with impunity, Mrs. Zhuang Su does not want a woman of this status to marry into the Li family at all, but she has clever means and will blow the wind on the pillow, so that Li Zi'an can marry herself into the family and become the rightful Mrs. Li.
However, judging from Shangguan Wanbai's temperament, she is definitely not a woman who is thoughtful and can play tricks.
And Li Zi'an's attitude towards Shangguan Wanbai that day, with a strong oppressive force in her gestures, she couldn't cope with it, she was physically and mentally exhausted, who forced whom to get married, Jian Maoxun thought that the visitors were wrong.
The wind swept across the lake, sending bursts of coolness, Jian Maoxun's gaze swirled on Shangguan Wanbai's body, and the emotion in his eyes became stronger and stronger, making Vivian scream badly.
She hurriedly reminded Shangguan Wanbai, "Mrs. Li, it's not too early, let's go back." ”
Jian Maoxun smiled, with an undeniable beak in his voice, "Mrs. Li is finally able to come out for a walk, don't rush back, do I have the honor to invite Mrs. Li to dinner?" ”
Vivian always felt that this man had bad intentions, she was using Li Zi'an's money to do things, so she naturally wanted to help her boss protect his wife and prevent strange men from approaching.
Jian Maoxun smiled softly, still waiting for her reply.
Seeing that Shangguan Wanbai was a little hesitant, Vivian knew that she was reluctant to go back, so she could only lean into her ear and say, "Madam, Mr. Li will come back at five o'clock in the afternoon, there are only two hours, you have to go home quickly." ”
Shangguan Wanbai's fingers were clenched, remembering Li Zi'an's terrifying appearance full of anger last night, and his heart seemed to be clenched by a pair of big hands, and he felt a faint pain.
She had to give up, "Okay, I got it. ”
Jian Maoxun was a little reluctant, he had wanted to go to her for a long time, but what he heard was the news that she and Li Zi'an were holding a wedding, and in the way of a gentleman, he could only press the affection surging in his heart.
But now she is not happy in her marriage, Mrs. Zhuang Su is difficult to get along with, there are many women around Li Zi'an, she is in a wealthy compound, she must be walking on thin ice.
As soon as Jian Maoxun's feelings of pity and pity came up, it was difficult to fade.
He got up and stopped between the two, his height of one meter eighty-eight made Vivian not even see Shangguan Wanbai's face, and she was so angry that she wanted to scold.
His voice was softer than the wind, "Miss Shangguan, if you have something on your mind, you must find someone to talk to, you will not be happy if you are blocked in your heart, and you will be prone to depression." ”
Shangguan Wanbai was in prison, and someone came to comfort her, even if she couldn't save her, she was grateful.
"Thank you, Mr. Jane," she smiled with a low brow, "I'm glad to have you with me for ten minutes." ”
Vivian was dumbfounded, should she really want to have dinner with Jian Maoxun, if Mr. Li knew, I was afraid that there would be another dispute, and I didn't know what to throw out of the window this time.
Shangguan Wanbai pondered for a moment, and still knew it in his heart.
"But I have to go back, Li Zi'an may still be waiting for me at home."
Jian Maoxun's eyes were dim, but he couldn't force the married woman to accompany him to dinner, so he could only get out of the way and let Vivian drag Shangguan Wanbai away.
Back in the car, Vivian could see Jian Maoxun standing by the lake through the car window, looking like he was lost.
"Mrs. Li, I always think that this Jian Maoxun is too positive, did you know him before?"
Shangguan Wanbai didn't take her reminder to heart, and said lightly: "He saved me before, and he had a relationship. ”
Vivian immediately smiled: "That's not very familiar, Mrs. must be careful when she goes out." ”
Shangguan Wanbai bowed slightly, understanding what she meant.
When she returned to the villa, Vivian saw the time on her phone, and there was still half an hour before Li Zi'an arrived home, and she finally rushed back with Mrs. Li.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw a tall man sitting on the sofa, with a straight suit and meticulous eyes, staring directly at the woman behind her.
Vivian was startled, "Mr. Li, are you home?" ”
Li Zi'an didn't see her, and walked over with two long legs, blocking in front of Shangguan Wanbai.
He gritted his teeth and smiled, "You had a great time outside today. ”
Shangguan Wanbai didn't react yet, just looked up at him stunned, "What?" ”
Li Zi'an hated her slow reaction the most, as if she didn't take everything about him to heart, so she swallowed it slowly.
He grabbed her thin waist, ignoring the scars of last night, and she frowned in pain.
"Let me ask you, why don't you stay at home today, what are you going to do outside?"
Shangguan Wanbai is simply inexplicable, she didn't sell herself to Li Zi'an, why didn't she even have the freedom to travel.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Vivian hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Li, don't be angry, I took my wife out." ”
