Capítulo 17: Stay The Night Here
Acting like nothing was unusual, Xia Jiannan raised his fork and took another bite of the braised pork. He just could not get enough of it!
It seems like he had a new favorite dish now!
"Truth be told, Mr. Xia, CEO Wang is really unfortunate to have me as his bodyguard. I could not even protect him." Wang Rouxi decided to go with her lies. But it would prove to be the gravest mistake she had ever done in her entire life.
At that moment, a sudden thought passed in Xia Jiannan's mind...
"Miss Rouxi, did CEO Wang give you any trouble?"
Wang Rouxi was actually curious as to why Xia Jiannan would ask this question. All speculations regarding him were temporarily forgotten as she tried to fathom Xia Jiannan's thoughts.
Although Wang Rouxi knew everything there was to know about the Wang Family, it was a matter of fact that she and Wang Shenyun hadn't really interacted with each other. So, there was no way she could tell...
In the end, she could only shook her head no.
Upon seeing this, Xia Jiannan let out a sigh of relief.
It was no wonder that he was worried about that. After all, that shameless bastard Wang Shenyun was obsessed with blonde women.
Noticing that it's already getting pretty late at night, Xia Jiannan decided to remind Wang Rouxi.
Wiping his lips and fingers using the table napkin, Xia Jiannan casually leaned back on his chair.
He then looked at Wang Rouxi with the guiltiest expression he could pull off. "You must be extremely busy with the upcoming turn over ceremony, aren't you?"
It was really hard to imagine what would he look like with that kind of expression!
Xia Jiannan himself did not dare imagine it and could only continue making excuses. "That is why I do not want to trouble you any longer..."
The subtle changes in Xia Jiannan's expression didn't escape Wang Rouxi's keen eyes.
And based from his actions and wordings just then, Wang Rouxi could obviously tell that Xia Jiannan wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"It's alright, Mr. Xia! You're not really that much of a trouble." Furthermore, she needed him for her investigations. If possible, she would not want to let him go until she was sure of his innocence.
Wang Rouxi was actually desperate to get to the bottom of this, because right after she solved this case, she would then be able to continue her search for the truth behind her fate.
But was it really fate?
Or was there someone manipulating her life from the shadows?
The answer to that, she did not know. The only thing that she was certain right now was her true identity.
She is Wang Rouxi, the eldest child of Wang Huozhen and Shi Linlang!
Wang Rouxi decided to feign ignorance and acted as though she did not get what Xia Jiannan was trying to imply, continuing to eat like nothing had happened.
Might as well have him stay with her for much longer to gather more information regarding Wang Shenyun's case.
Seeing her eat at a leisurely pace, Xia Jiannan didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
How else would he tell her that he would like to go home now without sounding rude?
Xia Jiannan was really at his wit's end trying to think of a way on how to tell her that he'd like to leave.
It's not that he was ungrateful of Wang Rouxi's generosity to him, it's just that Xia Jiannan knew that it would be best for the both of them if he would not stay here for much longer.
Though he was reluctant to part with her, Xia Jiannan was aware that he was not in complete reign over his mind and body right no. He was afraid that he might do something that he would regret later on.
How to leave this house in one piece?
That's what Xia Jiannan's main goal right now.
However, it was at this point that he realized that he did not have his car!
He got into the wrong car, didn't he? It was Wang Rouxi who brought him here.
Realizing his current situation, Xia Jiannan could not help but slumped his shoulders down in defeat.
'Just a little bit longer...' he said to himself.
Xia Jiannan knew that if he would stay for much longer, he may not be able to restrain himself...
Earlier, he had been preoccupied with other things that's why he did not react.
But now that he was just sitting there doing nothing, those corrupted thoughts started to invade his mind again.
Maintaining his image and sanity were really much easier said than done!
This was taking too much toll on his body!
He felt as though he had just fought a hundred battles...
Even dealing with business matters was not this tiring!
Deflated, Xia Jiannan could only patiently wait for Wang Rouxi to finish her meal. However, the next words that came out of her small mouth really shook him to the core.
"Stay the night here, Mr. Xia." Wang Rouxi said all of a sudden.
