Chapter 938: He Wanted to Chase after Her
Ye Yanfeng stood by the front pa.s.senger seat, his sungla.s.ses covering his eyes and Shangguan Wan could not see his gaze.
His lips were slightly pursed and there was a trace of annoyance between his eyebrows.
Shangguan Wan did not know what he was thinking, but from his expression, it seemed like he was unwilling to see her.
Although Shangguan Wan felt a little afraid, when she thought of what Nan Zhi had said, she walked up to the man with renewed determination.
Shangguan Wan stopped when she was about two steps away from him.
Looking at his handsome face hidden in the light, Shangguan Wan was slightly panicked.
She pursed her lips and asked, “Are you okay?”
Hearing Shangguan Wan’s voice, the man’s eyes under the sungla.s.ses narrowed and he spat out coldly, “I’m fine.”
Shangguan Wan looked at his cold and indifferent att.i.tude and could not tell what she was feeling at the moment. She felt like a caterpillar in a coc.o.o.n, whose silk was being reeled off unexpectedly. There was a slow pain that was impossible to ignore that was slowly spreading within her.
Cars were moving past on the road and pedestrians continued to walk by from time to time, but she had a feeling of being in a desert. She felt cold and confused.
The silence between them attracted the attention of the young man who had gotten out of the car first.
He strode over, looked at Shangguan Wan and then at Ye Yanfeng, asking hesitantly, “Do you two… know each other?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t know her.”
Shangguan Wan replied yes, while Ye Yanfeng replied with a blunt no.
The atmosphere was stiff and silent again.
Shangguan Wan looked at the man, who had turned his face away as if he did not want to look at her, and a trace of gloominess flashed past her eyes. “If he insists that he doesn’t know me, then so be it!”
Jing Ting broke the weird atmosphere with a smile. He held out his hand to Shangguan Wan. “He’s like that, ignore him. I’m Jing Ting. May I know your name, Miss?”
Shangguan Wan shook Jing Ting’s hand and replied, “Shangguan Wan.”
“Miss Shangguan, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Shangguan Wan nodded. “It’s my pleasure as well.” Her gaze unconsciously fell onto the man with the serious expression. “Ye Yanfeng, do you have time? Can we have a chat?”
She summoned up her courage and spoke to him.
The man did not look at her, his expression still of one that did not want to talk to her. “I still have something to do. And as I said before, I don’t know you at all. Please stop bothering me.”
Shangguan Wan’s chest tightened uncontrollably and before she could say anything, Ye Yanfeng was already saying to Jing Ting, “I’ll give you five minutes to talk about compensation.” After that, he got into the car.
Shangguan Wan was rooted to the spot, unable to move for a while.
Jing Ting coughed awkwardly. “Miss Shangguan, your car…”
Shangguan Wan regained her senses and shook her head, smiling. “It’s all right. I’ll handle it myself.”
“We can’t do that. How about we exchange phone numbers and when your car is repaired, give me a call to let me know how much the cost is.”
Seeing Shangguan Wan’s hesitation, Jing Ting hastily said, “Actually today’s collision is also considered fate. You may not need me to compensate anything, but we can still be friends and have a meal together next time.”
Shangguan Wan looked into the car. The man had his head lowered and she did not know what he was doing.
He seemed to be disgusted by her, and if she could change anything, it seemed good to attract his attention.
Shangguan Wan nodded. Taking out her phone, she gave Jing Ting her number and then saved Jing Ting’s as well.
…
Shangguan Wan returned to the military vehicle and looked at the sports car driving away through the rearview mirror.
Leaning against the car seat, a sense of helplessness surged out from her body.
Before, Ye Yanfeng was always pursuing her from behind, always approaching her without shame and she hated it at that time. She wondered if he felt the same way she did before.
But no matter what, she had to be brave in her relations.h.i.+p once.
…
After the sports car drove away, Jing Ting, who was driving, looked at the man sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat whose lips were pursed tightly.
Jing Ting had one hand resting on the car window and the other on the steering wheel. He raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, “Just now you and the female officer…”
“I don’t know her.”
The smile on Jing Ting’s face deepened. “I haven’t even finished saying anything and you’re saying you don’t know her?” Based on his strong reaction, it would be weird if he didn’t know her!
“By the way, I got her phone number. If you really don’t know her, I can pursue her!”
Ye Yanfeng said nothing, the pair of long upturned eyes under the sungla.s.ses narrowed slightly and his expression was dark.
“If you mind, I won’t do anything!” Jing Ting said with his eyebrows raised.
Ye Yanfeng said, his handsome face expressionless, “Do as you like.”
Jing Ting scoffed. “Fine. You said it yourself. I’ve never dated a female officer and Miss Shangguan looks beautiful and charming. Although she looks cold, her face is nice and her temperament is not bad as well. She has a heroic grace and elegance that other women don’t have. Just looking at her makes me want to conquer her!”
Ye Yanfeng turned his head and looked out of the window, his face tense. “She has a son.”
Jing Ting was speechless. Didn’t he say he didn’t know her?
A minute later, Jing Ting laughed and said, “I grew up abroad and I’d say my way of thinking is more open than others. I can accept a woman with a son. Besides, I think women with children have more charm.”
Ye Yanfeng said, “Drive properly, don’t bang into other cars again!”
Jing Ting’s mouth twitched. Did he make him angry?
After a few minutes of silence in the car, Jing Ting broke the silence without any fear. “You said you don’t know her… Is it because you…”
The man, who was expressionless, suddenly interrupted Jing Ting with a bad temper, “Can you f*cking shut your mouth?”
Jing Ting stopped talking.
…
Shangguan Wan settled some matters in the force in the morning and took time in the afternoon to find Ye Yanfeng.
But he had moved again.
To be honest, Shangguan Wan was slightly angry.
Was it necessary to avoid her as if she were the plague?
She called that Mr Jing from this morning and could not get through. Shangguan Wan sat in the courtyard, feeling dejected like a balloon out of air.
Over the next half month, Shangguan Wan never saw Ye Yanfeng again.
She asked the mayor about the resort and it was all handled by Bel, Ye Yanfeng had never appeared.
He came to Yukou Border silently, and then left just as silently.
Shangguan Wan felt very powerless. There were so many people, if he intended to avoid her, she did not know where to find him!
Even if she found him, she could not follow him around 24 hours. He would still find a way to leave. Her plan was completely over before it had even begun.
Since the training of the new recruits was over, Shangguan Wan decided to give herself a break. After Little Xingxing had grown up, she had been busy with work and had not taken him out to have fun.
This vacation, Shangguan Wan planned to take Little Xingxing to an island.
During this period, something had happened to the Shangguan family. The King had taken her father’s military power back and her father urged her to return to the Capital a few times but she had ignored it all.
